Background Workflow task hanging

[Sue Doughty]

We have a workflow that gets executed probably 100 times a day.

There is a background task in that workflow that gets executed that reads the PA0041 table looking for the Drug Exam date for an Applicant.  This task also executes numerous times a day.

Sometimes the task executes fine - within a second:

But sometimes it takes 20 - 30 minutes to execute and it looks like it only finishes because RSWWERRE has run.

This happens with this task about once a week.  It only seems to happen with this task....not with any other background task.   Does anyone know what is happening or where I can go to see why this task is hanging?

Regards,
Sue

Hi Srini,

For dynamic multi line text in Task description, you will have to definie a multiline container element both in workflow and task.
And feed the element with the required multi line texts in a back-ground method.

When you are inserting the container element in Task description use the expression &ELEMENT##&

The container element needs to be inserted in the work item description as a
table instead of a single-line element. Use the assistant (toolbar button
"Expression") to insert it, and you'll be asked if you want to insert only the
first line - as you have done, all lines as continous text or all lines with
line breaks. You will then see that the expression to use when you want to
insert all lines from multiline container element TABLE is either &TABLE[]& or
&TABLE##&.

Hi Experts,

I am calling a text element in workitem text using the following syntax.

*INCLUDE &TEXT_NAME& OBJECT &OBJECT& ID &TEXT_ID& LANGUAGE
&LANGUAGE&.*Selecting command line option.i.e.
* /:*

All the elements in between & & are binded from a class method. When I do
the syntax check I am getting the following error.


*Variable &_????????.??????????.????& exists in description text Completion text, but
not in the container*

I am unable to understand where I am doing wrong.Kindly help me in fixing
this error.
