WSUG

[Sergey Breslavets]

Hi Sharad,
 
This might happen if a wait step is used in conjunction with the task in
a fork - in this case wait step might be triggered by some event
resulted from executing the task before the actual workitem is complete,
and cause processing to exit the fork, setting the workitem to
"Logically deleted" status.
 
 
Regards,
Sergey..

Sorry, to have invaded your inbox in this manner - but just curious to
find
out of the mailgroup WSUG has closed ? Or is it down for
holidays/maintenance or something ?
 
I posted the email below, and dont think it got circulated to the group.
Help ?(Cheeky, eh ?)
 
Basically, the situation is like this. A workitem(generated from a step
within a 'loop without exit' in a workflow) arrives at inbox of USER1.
USER1
executed it, thus reserves it, and then later on forwards it to USER2.
USER2
then executes it and does the needful that is required. This 'needful'
would
change the status of the workitem to 'Logically Deleted' but in this
case -
it still remains as 'In process' - with the result that the workitem is
still in USER2's inbox.
This has been developed by someone else : So, I dont know - why the task
is
in a loop. It is a General task.
In normal situation - when USER1 executes and does the needful - should
it
not be going to status Completed - rather than Logically deleted ?
Also, when USER1 forwards it without executing, it does reach the
Logically
deleted stage. It is only with execute + forward that it stays in the
'In
process' state. Is there a basic process issue ?
The main workflow comes to an end when a particular event is triggered.
I
tried adding this event as the terminating event of the task - but still
does not work.
Any clues - HELP PLEASE ?
 
Kind regards
Sharad
