Workflow status 'Ready' but does not move on

[Klaus-Dieter Spatz]

Lyal,

That was the trick. You are the greatest. 

To control on or off, I am adding an entry into t77s0 (my favorite table),
read it before the endless loop to control if it is on or off. 

That does not allow me to switch it by user, since that task is under
wf-batch, but I can turn it on or off. Yes is costs me a transport, but it
is not for ever. 

Just temporary. 

Thanks a lot. Klaus

Howzit Klaus

I'm not sure whether this is the recommended method for debugging a
background task, but it works for me. Stick an infinite loop into the
function module with something like:

DATA : fully_laden_european_swallow VALUE 'X' .
WHILE fully_laden_european_swallow EQ 'X' . ENDWHILE .

You can then go into transaction SM50 and locate the process that will
be looping merrily and then select Program/Mode > Program > Debugging.
Change the value of your fully_laden_european_swallow to something other
than 'X' and debug away.

If others are testing at the same time, it might be worth sticking some
sort of restriction on your user name to avoid their processes running
indefinitely.

Cheers

Lyal

NOTE: Obviously I could never condone my naming conventions...

Natasha,

Thanks for the hint. I found that my function module in the method was
not working. 

Now my problem is that it is processed, but I am not able to debug
through it when I start it from pftc in with the test button. 

When I start the method separately, everything works fine. 
It would be great, if I would be able to debug through it from pftc. 

Best REg. Klaus

In your attachment, the step that is stuck in status Ready has icon for
agents.  Background steps don't have that icon.  Check on your task
definition to make sure that background checkbox is checked in the lower
left corner.

Natasha,

It is not a dialog step. It is supposed to process an update and just go
to the next step.

Klaus,

If it is a dialog step, did you remember to set it as General task or
assign specific agents as allowed agents for the task?

Hi All,

I do have a workflow method, which sits in the log with the status
'Ready' but does not move on to the next step. 

Please see the attachment, perhaps someone has seen this before. 

Thanks Klaus
