Workflow Condition problem

[Alon Raskin]

might be a buffering issue where some attributes are 'buffered' in memory and therefore are not re-retrieved from the DB.
Maybe you will need to re-define the logic of the attribute so it always reads the DB. Alternatively you could put in a step that
refreshes the object instance (thus forcing it to re-read everything from the DB) but just be careful you don't break the processing chain.

Subject: Workflow Condition problem


Greetings,
 
I'm having a problem with condition loop in development.
 
I have a loop-until in a workflow. It is used to verify that the user has actually made changes to a 'shipment' before the WF passes control to the next step. If the value has not been entered, the loop causes the task to redisplay in the users workflow inbox (I also have it marked 'advance with dialog' and 'confirm end of processing'). FYI - The values are from the business object VTTK. 
 
The problem is that the task is often repeated, so the user will get the same task twice, even though they updated the values correctly the first time. Is the problem because the BO is not updated in time for the edit to catch? I've made sure that the activity has the correct binding, both sending and retrieving the object values.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks,
 
John
