Hi Experts,

Sometimes in SWPR Restart Workflow i find Errors in Workflow but when i select the workflow and click on the restart flag still the workflow is not Restarting and i find it in error status only.Mostly PO/PR release workflows. Please help me on this How to restart workflows.

Try to analyse the Wflow Log why it is going into error after Restart. Restarting Wflow instance does not mean that the error will be removed.

Hi Arghadip,

Thanks for your Reply.We had some problem with the release Strategy and so it was on error now we have rectified that problem but we still find that in Error why is it so ?.Will it not work for the new strategy. Hoe to restart the workflow after the Change of Release strategy.

It's a different thing. Restart doesn't re-trigger the WF. In your case, since the fix is related to restart of the WF, it won't help. Better do an alternative. Change the affected PR/PO so that it affects the release strategy and save. Again, go back to the value which you actually want it to be there.

Generally as I far I know in my limited knowledge, you restart a WF:

1. Some step during execution hanged or erred out due to unknown reason may be due to lack of authorization

2. Rule failure

3. Time gap

4. Missing data

Overall and simply to say to use this transaction where it is possible to continue from the exact point of failure without a new instance.
