Workflow error

[John A Haworth]

Hi

Thanks for that. It may be that the WI was open. Which is the job that
monitors, that you mentioned, is it one that I have to configure?

Cheers

John

Hi John,
Sounds like your fork is inside a loop. The fork completes based on your
event, it loops around and tries to re-enter the fork but one of the
branches is still active.
This can happen either because a) synchronization was such that the too
slow in terminating the original task. This is IMO not how the system
should work; or b) the system couldn't terminate the original task because
it was locked. Perhaps a user has it open. This is not normally a problem,
as the flow continues and the error monitoring job completes the open task
when it becomes available again.

Cheers
Mike
