Workflows hung in background task

[Sue Doughty]

We are on ECC 6.0

In one of our workflows, a background task was started and just got hung up....it never finished.  In the log it has that the Background processing started with Object type 1 = tRFC Entries.  I had to go into the step and complete it manually for the workflow to move on.

It has happened a couple of times in the last few days (that I know of)....on different background tasks.  It is happening in workflows that have had no changes to them.

I've gone to Basis to see if there were any issues with the RFCs at the time that the tasks got hung up and nothing is showing up there.  They have looked at the system logs and see nothing.  When this has happened before, it has been something that has happened with the RFCs or the gateway has backed up or the system has gone down.

What can I look at to see what might be happening to the system that is making these background tasks hang up?  Also, is there a way that I can find all workflows that might be in the same state as the two that I have found?

Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Workflow template saved as 'Local' Change request cant' change please help


Hi

I noticed in SE10 that the workflow template that I changed is automatically saved as a 'Local Change Request' in the workbench (and the task is labelled repair_.  I was able to release it though, so I'm a little confused.  Will this be able to be transported then?

I then went to the workflow builder to see if I made another change if it would be possible to save it as transportable workbench request; so I made a small change.  When I click on save it says transports of this type, local can only be used for this type.
Please clarify.

Kindest Regards
Sunni
