OL808: Object with runtime number '0' not defined

[Paul.Bakker@osr.treasury.qld.gov.au]

Hi again

After some further investigation, I've discovered that the writeoff
document has not yet been created at the time the 'instantiate' method is
called!

An earlier method for creating the document succeeds OK, and passes back
the document number, but the object itself doesn't exist when the next
workflow step is executed.

So now I have a new question: if an object is created during the course of
a workflow, when is it actually committed to the database? Do you need to
add an explicit 'COMMIT WORK' step?

I assume that there must be an implicit 'commit work' when the workflow
ends, or when a dialog task is created..

thanks in advance for any pointers..

Dear WUG,

We are on 4.7 (Basis 6.2). I have a 'writeoff approval' workflow where a
clearing document is created, and its document number is returned.

I want to _instantiate_ this object in the workflow container, so that
users can navigate from the clearing document to the workflow (via object
services).

To achieve this, I have added an extra step to the workflow, which calls
the method SYSTEM.GENERICINSTANTIATE. This method is (allegedly!) able to
instantiate any object, given the object type and key.

However, the workflow keeps going into error, with the following message:

      "OL808: Object with runtime number '0' not defined".

Binding seems to be working ok: I checked that the document number is in
the workitem's
container. The BOR object type is CA_DOC.

What am I missing... Has anyone gotten SYSTEM.GENERICINSTANTIATE it to
work?

cheers
Paul
