Restart without error status !!

[Parag Joshi]

Hi Jocelyn,
 
Thanks for the input. I checked the deadlock race, no luck.
Object 'Employeet' is an attribute of calling object BUS2089.
So the instance of the object EMPLOYEET is created when event
BUS2089.CREATED is triggered. Infact, it successfully pulls
data from the instance and pushes to other earlier steps.
 
I am suspecting binding is a problem, though it worked
successfully in DEV and test environments. Nor does it show up
as any binding errors.
 
I had tried SWPC, but did not select the work item. Finally, I
manually changed the status of the work item through
SWW_WI_STATUS_CHANGE_NEW to ERROR. Restarted through SWPR and
it worked.  WF completed successfully.
 
 
Regards.
