Workflow Goes To Error Status

[Maue, Tom]

Hi Dale,

Sounds like a runtime definition issue.  Did you generate a new version of the main Workflow and transport?  All the older processes will run using the older version and any new process will use the current active template.

Regards,
Thomas Maue

Subject: Workflow Goes To Error Status


We have a main workflow that has several steps, and one of those steps calls a sub-workflow.

We made a change to the main workflow where we moved a branch of steps from one  place in the main onto another branch in the main.

The change was not directly after the sub-workflow step in the main, but later on in the workflow process.

The issue we are running into, is that any workflow that was already in process via waiting for user decision action in the sub-workflow,

will now go into an error status when the  user does the action , which is done via using UWL.

It seems like the remaining sub-workflow steps run fine, but the flow will not continue back into the main.

The error status message in red on the main workflow is (3 lines) :

"Status change from COMPLETED to READY is not allowed/possible."

"Error at point of synchronization (work item [it lists the next work item number that you cannot see in the log] EXECUTE)"

"Work item [it lists  the main workflow item number] : Object FLOWITEM method EXECUTE cannot be executed"



Any newly created workflows work fine.



We tried swu_obuf, etc.

Would release status on a workflow template or standard task matter at all?  Currently we have them at "not defined" instead of "released" .

Is there anything in XML code that could cause this ?



We are on Release 720
