CAT2 & CATS - An error occurred on starting the workflow

We have just finished upgrading from 4.6c to 6.0.
Now, whenever we try to enter time using CAT2, we get an error when saving which states "An error occurred on starting the workflow."
And when we try to enter time using ESS via the portal, we get a message which states unable to save data.
I'd just like to enter some time.
Any ideas on how I can resolve this?

Hi Jefferson,
I had the same problems before with 6.0 below is the link from sap library about details of the task.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/64/4003e1470211d189720000e8322d00/frameset.htm
Use these tasks in your data entry profiles in the configuration via IMG Activity in transaction SPRO->Cross-Application Components->Time Sheet->Specific Settings for CATS Regular->CATS regular->Record Working time->Set Up Data Entry Profiles.
Take note that you still have to tick the with workflow box and you use these task here.
Now if everything is ok with the time entry and approval for other users check the data entry profile that the user uses in CAT2, it may not be the data entry profile that you have set-up in the IMG.
Also, check the org structure if you have approvers for the CAT user (tcode PPOME). Note that there is no escalation present in these task so if an approver in the org structure is missing it does not get to the next approver.
Although SAP documentation says that the opwrkflow is optional although you have the task this also causes the problem, so it is betther to disable the workflow and use the recommended task.
Use this link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/04/928ad246f311d189470000e829fbbd/content.htm
as the above link is for CATS in general

Error "An error occurred on starting the workflow" when creating Timesheet

Hi..I have copied a standard task for Timesheet approval...and have assigned to profile..but when creating timesheet i'm getting error as "An error occurred on starting the workflow" .. could anyone help me out from this issue..
Thanks
shankar

HI Shankar,
I have the same error you listed here for a few employees. Could you please tell me how you resolved this?
I've searched other posted messages and look like we've set up the timeshee approval correctly, but still have this error.
Any information provided is appreciated.
Thanks,

Failed to run task sequence. Error occurred while starting the task sequence (0x8007000E)

Hi there
Patch Tuesday yesterday (10th June2014). As always we deploy new patches first to a test collection where Windows 7 updates automatically apply.
Upon trying to rebuild any of the machines in this test collection, we were presented with the following error message:
Failed to run task sequence. Error occurred while starting the task sequence (0x8007000E)
After searching about this, I found this page from Niall Brady, which explained the problem:
http://www.niallbrady.com/2013/05/17/after-selecting-a-task-sequence-in-configuration-manager-2012-sp1-you-receive-threadtoresolveandexecutetasksequence-failed-code0x8007000e-in-smsts-log/
So I removed some of the machines from the test Windows update collection, and as per the advice in the above link, the error was gone and those machines could be built successfully.
So the problem is there were too many many policies downloaded (apps, packages and most of all updates) for the task sequence ram to store, hence the error.
Now...
...I have a question.
The next logical step to my mind is to patch our OS image with all missing patches, so these do not have to be downloaded at build time. Niall mentions this as one of the resolutions to this issue.
However there seems to be some confusion over whether this would actually make a difference.
I read through this link:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7e597b44-2586-4063-b6d0-cec48a7c11c7/sccm-2012-task-sequence-failure-0x8007000e?forum=configmanagerosd
There's seems to be no consensus on this.
Is SCCM 2012 clever enough to - when the task sequence is first started - to download ONLY the updates (policies) it detects as NOT present in the OS image...
or
Will it simply try to download policies for ALL items deployed to it, whether the updates are present in the OS image or not?
I will be disappointed if SCCM 2012 SP1 CU2 isn't clever enough to only download policies at build time for the apps, packages and updates it detects as needed.
I'd be grateful for some clarity on this.
Regards,
John, Glasgow.

Hi Jason
Thank you for replying, I appreciate it.
1) We currently have 15 or 16 software update groups for Office updates, dating back a month or two. The latest software update group contains all the patches in the previous software update groups plus the patches released on 10th June. Do you recommend
deleting all but the latest software update group?
2) I'm almost reluctant to ask this, but based on what you have advised, is it the case that when the task sequence executes, it will download policies for each update in each software update group regardless of whether it has already downloaded a policy
for an update in a previous software update group? So in effect it's downloading policies (for updates) it has already downloaded?
3) I'm not clear on why there would be no policy for an image; in Niall Brady's informative page on the 8007000E error, he writes the following:
"The reason it has run of space could be due to four possibilites: too many applications, too many Windows updates, too many Task Sequence steps, too many referenced packages'.
Can you shed some light on why there isn't a policy for an image?
Thanks again for replying,
John.

Hi,
Under normal circumstances it should be enough to restart the connection service.
As far as we know there is no formal solution to this problem from SAP yet but restarting the connection service is much less of an interuption compared to restarting the the SIA.
Re-starting the connection service should resolve this issue. since, Connection service is only related to DeskI and Rich Client re-statrng wonu2019t impact other business objects components including java report panel.
All the Best,

OSD - Failed to run Task Sequence. An error occurred while starting the task sequence (0x8007000E).

Failed to run Task Sequence.
An error occurred while starting the task sequence (0x8007000E)."
While OSD, picks up task sequence but fails in resolving task sequence dependencies. SMSPXE identifies device is not in database (unknown).
SMSTS.log shows
ThreadToResolveAndExecuteTaskSequence failed. Code(0x8007000E)" in SMSTS.LOG, have seen other articles suggesting failure due to lack of storage (RAM) but this task sequence has worked in past.
By the way, if I create a stand alone media, we are able to image the workstation. What has changed in the task sequence such that the workstation is unable to download policies due to lack of storage (RAM) on workstation. Workstation has 2 GB of RAM.

I have found a work around for the issue, even though the computer is unknown, there were software updates targeted to the ALL SYSTEMS collection which applies to All Unknown Computers and therefore to x64 Unknown Computer and x86 Unknown Computer.
We had a SCEP ADR applying definition updates to All Systems, we applied the ADR to a different collection, removed all the SCEP updates to All Systems and successfully re-imaged the workstation. Following article was of great help in identifying the problem

'Error 8 occurred when starting the data extraction program'

Hello Experts,
I am trying to pull master data (Full upload) for a attribute. I am getting an error on BW side i.e. 'The error occurred in Service API .'
So I checked in Source system and found that the an IDOC processing failure has occurred. The failure shows 'Error 8 occurred when starting the data extraction program'.
But when I check the extractor through RSA3, it looks fine.
Can someone inform what might be the reason of the failure for IDOC processing and how can this be avoided in future. Because the same problem kept occurring later as well.
Thanks
Regards,
KP

An error occurred while starting "OCMRepeater". The component was not found

I just built up an OVM 2.2 machine and then installed the manager 2.2 template followed by the 10.2.0.5 OMS Grid control template. I've got all the systems up and functional via those templates at this point but the Grid Control server starts up with 2 targets down. When I dig into it it really looks to only be the OCMRepeater under the Application Server and so both the Application Server and the OCMRepeater show as down targets. When I try to start the OCMRepeater from the I am asked for the OS username and password. I supply it with username oracle and the oracle password, which I have verified by logging into the VM. When I hit continue it tells me it is starting the component and then comes back with the following message.
An error occurred while starting "OCMRepeater".
The component was not found in the Oracle Home.
On a fresh install I really think that my Overview pie chart should be a 100% up all green affair. Can anyone give me a hand and help me figure out how to get everything running properly here?
Thanks,
Harold

I have had no problem since I got the computer in October backing up to an iomega HD but now I keep getting a message that "Time Machine could not complete the backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder". Anyone know how to correct this?

I had the same "Error creating the backup folder" error - many times over.
I went into the Disk Utility, selected the Backup Disk and ran Verify. It checked out OK. But if not, could have run Repair.
Then did a complete shutdown and restart of the iMac and then tried "Backup Now" from the Time Machine icon's menu - it worked fine.
