Crashing workflow - triggered when Project phase change

[Former Member]

Hello!

I'm working with SAP Sourcing 7 and trying to develop workflow using Together Workflow Editor 4.7-1.

I've developed very simple decision workflow and assigned it to one of the phase in Project document. Very simple one, no much script logic behind.

It gets triggered fine, Approver getting email that informs that there is decision to be taken. After opening link, decision buttons show up on the Project.

After decision is taken Project remain blocked as the workflow crash.

I'm getting the following error:

java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method com.sap.odp.workflow.xpdl.FinishMode.getManual()

of an object returned from com.sap.odp.workflow.xpdl.Activity.getFinishMode()

Any advice what could be wrong? I also attach my XPDL file with WF definition (had to rename to .txt in order to attach). I'm really stuck in a place.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Hi Tomasz,

you need to use Together WF Editor version 2.x. Editor version 4.x is not supported in SAP Sourcing.

Hi Anita,

Thank you for your reply,

I've tried to find version 2.x of Together WF Editor but with no success.

Do you know if it's still available for download anywhere?

Or may I ask you to share with that version?

Best regards,

Hi Tomasz,

I have that version as a ZIP File - but it's a 4MB file which means I cannot attach it. I can email the file to you, if you give me your email address.
