AW: AW: Workflow Stops without error in background task status ready

[Mike Pokraka]

Duh, must read posts more carefully. You mentioned SWIA before. That makes
the answer simple: it's not a background task.

A task in READY status won't show an agent, as it can be with many people.
Once someone executes it and changes status to STARTED, it will show an
agent.

Check your agent assignments on the task. Check if they show up in
SWI2_ADM1 (tasks without agents), would indicate it's being routed to the
wrong people / not a possible agent of the task.

Note, a background task can be 'dialog' even though there isn't any user
interaction. What it means is that - with 'advance in dialog' set - it
executes under the userID of the previous task as opposed to WF-BATCH.
This can be for authorization reasons or simply that you want the 'last
changed by' to reflect the user who made a decision.

Cheers,
Mike
