Workflow Goes To Error Status

Stephane - Thanks for the explanation. From a going forward practice for future workflows, will try and make sure to check to see if we have a new version when we make these types of changes to the workflow. This workflow is rather new and is still in a pilot stage.
Question - For a new version of a workflow, does one manually generate the version versus the system doing it for you? I was looking at some of our workflows from years prior and do see different versions on some, but do not recall going through the manual process of generating a new version. I guess I thought the system automatically made the newer version and that is why it never crossed my mind to check for version as being the issue. Thank you again for bringing that to my attention.
Rick - The answer is 'No' to your question. Also, there were no binding changes between the main and sub. The version was the same before and after the change. Thanks for the questions.

Hi Dale,
Not that this is any help but could you tell me if a new version of the workflow template was generated before the change was made?
You can see that by the _Wf_Version in the top-level container of the old and new workflow instances.
I assume no changes were made to the binding to/from the sub-workflow from the main workflow?
regards

Hi Dale,
This is standard behavior, what you did in your workflow template is a change without changing the workflow version.
You should have changed the workflow version, then all the old workflow (started before the change) could have continue with the old definition.
However as you have not changed the version, it believe the definition started is still valid but 'can not find it' meaning you are in trouble...
For the production my advice would be to stop the workflow started before and trigger the event that will trigger the new workflow.
When changing a workflow definition already in production you shall change the version.
Best regards
Stephane

Hi Claus,
You should try the event queue, transaction SWETYPV will allow you to use the event queue for your workflow and transaction SWEQADM to monitor and also set up the job for queue
Cheers

Hi Brenda,
(I spoke to Martin yesterday). The partner number which we see as a project manager is actually created as a sales employee.
This is linked to HR data. Some times this employee may or may not have SAP user id. But when we filled the HR info type 0105 which carries sap user id with user details, Then we could see this in table PA0105.
Thanks to every one.
