Bad workflow ? :-( document is still being processed in the background :-(

[diegohs]

Hi guys,

I have activated workflow without approval for PO's (saved & changed: WS14000075).

Everything was working fine.. BUT.. For some reason, now some PO documents have the status "Waiting Approval", and if I try to edit them,I got the following message: "document is still being processed in the background"

How can I fix this ?

Thanks for your help guys !

Best regards,

Diego

Check your output settings in your customizing for action profile "Standartd PO"! If you have changed the standard delivery, it can happen that WS14000075 ends with error. See also note 886606!

Hello,

This workflow is using a backround process approval (0 step)

Could you should check the RFC and update queues (SM58, SM13) ?

Hello,

Workflow withount approval will trigger a backgound process that can be stuck in some queues.

you can check the transactional RFC with SM58, SWU2 if any process are pending. If you find there a waiting process under the user name wf-bacth, that's it and just execute it.

If nothing there , check the update process (SM13).

Hi Pierre,

I checked the WF with WF guy, and he noticed that for some "strange" reason, the WF never ended. It seems that the method setrelease (bus2201) was never finalized.

Do you know something about it ? for me, it looks like a bug in SRM.

Any advice on this ?

Best regards,

Hello Diego,

I've already seen this kind of pb.

You should navigate to the admin workflow runtime (menu swld) then administration --> workflow runtime, there is some usefull transactions.

First check the customizing (SWU3) and ensure that workflow runtime is ok.

Then try to restart wi in error (SWPR and/or SWPC) and check RFC transactions (SWU2).

Rgds,
