Error OL 808 Object with runtime '0' not defined

[Robin Sahasranam]

Flavio,
 
Thanks very much for your response. The OSS Note 0319949 is not relevant to my
problem or release. The Note is for displaying mail output and applies to 4.5
upwards. I did not find any relevant notes for my release 4.0b.
 
The change I made was to create a new container element, Approver, to capture
the name of the Workflow Initiator to display in Work Item text for the task.
The element I am interested in is
&_WORKITEM.WORKITEMFATHER.CREATEDBYUSER.EMPLOYEE.NAME&. I want the workitem text
to appear as "Trip 123456 for John Doe was approved by Jane Doe", where Jane Doe
would be the contents of the above variable. But if I use the above element
directly, the Work Item Text for assigning text variables becomes too long. So I
created a task container element Approver to which I bound the above element.
Since the length of the new variable &APPROVER& is a lot shorter than the other
one, I thought this would be a way out. The revised workflow gets the run time
error OL808 at the step where the foreground task is created. When I undo my
changes, the Workflow again works.
 
I am grateful for any help in resolving this problem.

At the first look, I thought that the problem could be with the
instantiation of your object. If the WF tries to instantiate it and the
object instance is not found (this verification is normally done by the
ExistenceCheck method), some error message can be sent back. You can try to
verify if the object is being created correctly.
 
But looking at OSS I found the note 0319949 that is about your problem.
 
You can try to look at it too.
 
Regards,
Flavio.
