HR -> Active Directory, data passed but task status "In Proce ss"

[Soady, Phil]

A submit and return starts a new Logical Unit of Work. (LUW2)
So if this LUW2 is to be committed properly, the Commit work should be at the end of
but still inside the the LUW2.
Upon return to the calling code. ie immediately after the SUBMIT and return
you are back in LUW1. So the commit work, commits any work oustanding in LUW1.
At this point if your method exists normally, the WF system get control back.
It is plausible, that this Commit has caused a change in behaviour of WF system.
It should however, still allow the WF to create new updates and commit them inside  LUW1.
 Make sure you method doesn't "exit" the LUW at that point?
Try debugging back after you method is called.
The WF system should get a chance to update the status.
 
The other thing to check is that you method isnt marked as aysync and therefore
expecting a terminating event.
 
It has just occurred that you may have just done a submit without the return.
 
The effect of that is equivalent to shoting the workflow. ie /n in the middle of the
transaction. NO return.... no update of complete. ;-( Oppps

Subject: HR -> Active Directory, data passed but task status "In Process"
 
 
One of the tasks of a custom workflow is to send some employee detail to
Active Directory. I have written a method for object BUS1065 - Employee,
that makes a function call.
 
The function call has two statements. The first is a SUBMIT RPLDAP_EXTRACT
with the necessary parameters to send the data to Active Directory. The
second is COMMIT WORK. The workflow works great, and data is passed as
required. However this task stays in status 'In Process'.
 
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
