Workflows getting inactive in Prod frequently

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi MGT,
Sorry but for the benefit of all I have to disagree with you there…

As the whole point of SWEQADM is

a)      to manage the event behaviour over and above the settings transported via SWETYPV

b)      to help you diagnose what is wrong if an event linkage has failed  - especially an occasional problem such as this which might be data related

I’m still seeing too many sites not remembering to set up SWEQADM and suffering as a result.

Please folks you really need to think of activating your workflow environment as at least a 2 step process these days i.e. SWU3 ***AND*** SWEQADM.

Regards,
Jocelyn

And SWETYPV is probably more useful for that...

But, rather than changing the settings to prevent the linkage from blowing it would be a better idea to find a recent instance of your WF (no doubt you have an errored one lying around) and work out the problem is.

You might, for example, have an intermittent issue that is data related, e.g. A binding error like ObjectA.ObjectB.Attribute where ObjectB is null.

Could you please explain me in detail regarding the settings in the Queue Administration (SWEQADM) for workflows. As Iam not much aware in that. Please let me know the settings that should be done.

Yes – that’s exactly the sort of behaviour that suggests you are getting failed linkages that are being deactivated by the Event Queue Administration settings.

Once I login into Prod and activate, it starts to work perfectly. But after some days it will get inactive automatically, even for standard workflows. Again I need to login and activate it. Its like an extra rework for us.

It is likely that you have the type linkage setting for your triggering event set to 'Deactivation of Linkage' when an error occurs (parameter 'Behaviour Upon Error Feedback').  You should change this to something more benign.  Also check the report of workflows in error (SWI2_DIAG) to see if you have workflows in error, and review and clear them.

Workflows getting inactive in Prod frequently


________________________________




Hi,
     We are facing serious a problem in production. The workflows which are existing in Prod are automatically getting inactive. The event link in SWDD are getting inactive frequently and the mail/workitems are not getting triggered. Since every time we need to login to Prod and activate the event linkage in the workflow builder. Is there any permanent solution for this??.We are into Ecc6.
