Workflow status 'Ready' but does not move on

Wed Nov 30 02:13:37 EST 2005

Hi Klaus,

The user or the particular agent might be locked.
There's a way to find that out from SWUD. I had a similar problem.
But I definitely think that's the problem. Some way from SWUD it shows that 
the user is locked.
That's why the workflow doesn't go to the next state. Do check this out if 
you've not yet
figured the problem.

Regards,
Vijay
