_adhoc_object stopping WI execution!

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi Andy,

Just to make sure I've understood this: The document behind the BOR object
has been deleted, but WF is still trying to pass it along the rest of the
WF? This is a perfectly valid scenario, so it seems like a gap in standard
functionality to me, there must be some way to remove an object from the
ad-hoc list.

This should be very easy to reconstruct in a test WF with a different
object, and if the behaviour is the same I'd raise it with OSS. If you
want/need to solve it yourself, I'd suggest trying a programmed binding
rather than secondary method, just to avoid potential locking/update
issues - I can't remember details but have a vague memory of folks having
problems with updating containers in secondary methods.

Cheers,
Mike
