Synchronization issues when canceling workflows

[Wever, Martijn]

Mike,
 
I am assuming you are using a 'wait for event' in a parallel branch in
your workflow.
 
Have you tried adding a terminating event to the task?

Greetings all,
On a 4.7/620 system we have events that cancel the workflow. The problem
is that if the events are triggered via a task in the workflow (e.g.
changing a requisition release level) the task itself remains in the
user's inbox (status STARTED) even though the top level workflow is
cancelled.
 
The error monitoring job usually comes along within 20 minutes and
cleans up the task, but that doesn't always happen and is not really a
solution.
It appears that although transaction is complete, the event is raised,
the task somehow remains locked and stays in a status STARTED even
though the WF is cancelled.
 
I suspect this is an OSS issue, but thought I'd check if anyone has seen
this...
Cheers
Mike
