_adhoc_object stopping WI execution!

[Catherall, Andy]

Yeah, that was my view, but just wanted to sanity check. Thanks for your
input.

I'll set up some test scenarios, build up the test evidence, see how I
go. As I say, the issue was on our 4.6c system, but if it does not occur
when I test on our ECC6 system, I'm happy to just wait until we upgrade.

If it *does* continue there, I'll raise an OSS and let you know how I
get on.

Thanks
Andy

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
