Error Occured - Three state workflow

http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/33106814/error-occured--three-state-workflow.aspx
I faced this issue and was able to resolve it. I am hoping this will
be helpful to someone who might get into trouble using the default
three state workflow.
I created a list and tried to use the default Three state workflow.
The workflow was enabled to start as soon as a new list item was
created. It started and the status was "Error Occurred". Being a Java
guy I didn't know where to look for this error. I checked the Event
Viewer but not much help. Is there a log file for Project Server
application?
Here is the reason why this happened. I had to go through most of my
fields in the custom list to understand what was causing this problem.
I had a field called Owner and I had enabled this option "Allow
multiple selections: ". This caused something to break in the
workflow. I am assuming it cannot handle a Person/Group field that
allows multiple selections even though none of the list items actually
had multiple persons selected.
Hopefully this will help someone in the future if they enable any
Person/Group field to have multiple selections.

  • Three state workflow not complete

    Hello,
    I'got some trouble with the OOB Three state workflow
    It's creating the first task, I change the status to completed and save, it create the second task , I do the same stuff but the workflow doesn't completed.. 
    When I look to the task list I can see that the first task has the % complete to 100% but not the second, if I try to edit the second task to add this 100 I've got the error "This task is currently locked by a running workflow and cannot be edited. "
    If I try to set this 100% when I accept the second task , it doesn't complete the workflow...
    What Am I doing wrong?
    Best regards, Christopher.

    The workflow shouldn't be completing if you just duplicate the exact same set of activities for the second task assignment
    as you used for the first. Just make sure you use different task tokens, but use the exact approach for task 2 as task 1. The workflow will not complete until both tasks are done.
    The approval workflow then assigns a task to each participant in the workflow, who must perform an action on the task. When all the tasks
    are complete, the overall task process is complete.Each of these task events must be complete instead of set the percent  before
    the task process can be complete 
    please check the process as follows

  • OOTB Three-State Workflow not funtioning correctly

    I am trying to create a Three-State OOTB Workflow on a document library. I have created an additional column in the document library called "Assigned Document To:". (Type: Person or Group)
    When I upload the document the workflow instantly assigns the task to me, instead to waiting on me to assigned it to the user in the "Assigned Document To:". field.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Again this is OOTB. NO SharePoint Designer involved.

    Hi ,
    How do you assign the task to the list column "Assigned Document To" in the Three-State OOB workflow?
    Please set the "Task assign to" value to the proper list column as you want per the following image.
    And here are two posts about how to use the Three State OOB workflow you can take a look.

  • Three State Workflow (assigned to field)

    I use the 3 State WF in a library. First and second task were assigned each to a person from 1 of 2 list fields of the library. But after first person completes the task and second task is created the person from second list field ist inserted in first
    list field. Why? It's a bug? Is there a workaround? (I don't have the possibility to use normal WFs, I can only use this WF)

    this is the first page of the WF settings (you ever saw this?)
    On the second page you can insert details for the first and second task, which the WF creates. There is a field 'Task Assigned To' which I filled with the content from a column of type 'person or group' of the library (Responsible Review). This one is for
    the first task, the other for the second is configured in the same way with an other 'person or group' column (Responsible Release).
    Before I start the WF, there are 2 different persons in the 2 columns, after completing the first task the WF creates the second task, and then (I can't see, is it after completing first task or after creating second task) field 'Responsible Review' in the
    library changed it's content to the content of column 'Responsible Release'

    I have created one Task List. Add Three state approval workflow to it.

    Please let me know. If you know any resolution for workflow error then also let me know.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Please go to the task list settings page, click Assigned to column and check "No" for "Allow multiple selections", then check whether the issue still exists or not.

  • Default Approval workflow throwing error "Error occured"

    Hello,
    Default approval workflow throwing an error : Error Occurred, but no details shown.
    So could you please help me out, from where I can exactly get details to check error details/logs.
    Thanking you in advance.
    Regards,
    Jayashri

    Hi Jayashri,
    Since the issue is related to Default approval workflow, I wonder if you are using workflow based on 2010 platform or 2013 platform.
    If you are using SharePoint 2010 predefined workflows and encountered the "error occurred", please refer to:
    For predefined workflows, the workflow history list is a good troubleshooting tool. The workflow history displays the current state and all the previous states for a running workflow. When an error occurs in a workflow, the last event in the workflow history
    list is titled Error. The list provides information about when the error occurred, but the list typically does not provide a description of the problem to avoid revealing sensitive information that could lead to a security issue. The most common errors are
    caused by connectivity problems, incorrect e-mail settings, or restricted user permissions.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/cc298927%28v=office.14%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    If you are using SharePoint 2013 workflow, you may refer to troubleshooting actions in the article:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vincent_runge/archive/2014/01/07/troubleshooting-actions-for-sharepoint-2013-workflows.aspx

  • "Error Occured" after Task completed at Work flow status in threestate-work flow of Sharepoint list

    Hi There,
    I have created a list as Alerts where we have Threstate workflow to assign the task to the user. Everything is working fine as expected but sometime the Workflow status getting "Error Occured" by User ID "System Account" after completed

    Hi Rehman,
    Whether this issue occurred for other lists. Please create a new list with the three-state workflow, compare the result.
    Also, create a new three-state workflow for the problematic list, compare the result.
    Please check the log file to find whether there is some message about this error. The log file is: C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.

  • An Error Occurs When I Go To "Build Properties-- Icon" -- Custom Icon Build Fails

    LV 2011
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    1. Create a new Build Specification using the Application Builder.
    2. Click on the "Icon" tab.
    The following error occurs:
    Three possible outcomes from here:
    1.  Usually LV2011 hangs when changing this option.  (i.e. "time to Force-Quit LabView" and recover the project)  It hangs after I uncheck the "Use default LabView icon" box, and then select my own custom icon from the file browser that appears.
    If it doesn't hang:
    2.  I build using the default LabView icon.  That build succeeds.
    3.  I build using my own icon (which has worked before in LabView app builds).  That build fails, near the end, with the following error:
    Please tell me how I can help get this working.

    Good questions.
    1. This happens with all projects.  As I mentioned, I get an error box as soon as I select the "Icon" tab in the Build Properties dialog.  After that, it either hangs or fails to build.  This happens with any new or existing project.
    2. I have not built an application with a custom icon with LabView 2011.  Remember I am Mac OSX so I install Application Builder separately from a .dmg file.
    3. I was able to successfully build an application with a custom icon in LabView 2010.
    So, it would seem to me that we should rule out that it's a global bug with LV2011 on Mac OSX (10.6.8).  If you install and make a new project, and attempt to add a custom icon, I would bet you can reproduce this exactly.  The error dialog pops regardless, and everytime.

  • 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

  • Length error occurred during in IMPORT statement

    Dear Friends,
    (length error occurred during in IMPORT statement),when im using the SUBMIT syntax..can i know what is the reason.

    I would like to know how did you solve the issue as i came across the same issue.

  • Length error occured in IMPORT statement

    Hello everyone,
    i hv one requirment in PO print(ME23N). in po print asset no nt display without changing other format.
    so that i first copy both smartform and driver program, in that i made certain changes such that i declare the patameter p_ebeln and i comment to data statement of p_ebeln & p_ebeln = nest-objky.
    then i join asset no (anek-anln1) with the help of inner join. then in smartform i gave condition that if bsart = 'ZCAP'
    wa_final-anln1 = gv_anln1.
    endif.
    i import gv_anln1 in smartform and exported in deriver program.
    both are synthetically currect but when i gave print preview dump is occured.
    length error occured in IMPORT statement
    Error analysis
        An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
        The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR', was
         not caught in
        procedure "%GLOBAL_INIT" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
        Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
        exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
        The reason for the exception is:
        During import the system discovered that the target object has
        a different length than the object to be imported.
    what i do?

    Hello,
    can u send me coding for that?
    program line is already created for that
    and their first coding is like that,
    if gv_bsart = 'ZCAP'.
    wa_final-matnr = space.
    endif.
    and in text they fetch matnr no.
    but as per requirement they want asset no when bsart = 'ZCAP'
    how that asset no will come.
    matnr comes there is bsart is other that ZCAP, but bsart = ZCAP they want asset no instead of matnr.

  • Length error occurred in IMPORT statement.

    Hi All,
               while exexuting a program i got dump saying that Length error occurred in IMPORT statement. through ST22 i came to know that both import and export structres are not same. Import structure is longer than the export structure.
             I tried in SDN but i coudnt find any solution. can you please suggest how to solve this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sreekala.

    Hi,
    Maybe what you can do si....
    Program X
    data: v_var(20) type c.
    export v_var.
    Program Y
    data: v_var(20) type c,
             v_var2(50) type c.
    import v_var.
    v_var2 = v_var.
    Create a variable that is exactly the same with the exporting parameter, then just assign it to a local variable declared in the 2nd program.
    Hope this helps.

  • Outlook 2013 - Password change breaks S/MIME Certs "An error occurred in the underlying security system. Key not valid for us in specified state."

    AD password change comes up, user changes password.
    Tries to send signed or encrypted email with a Comodo S/MIME certificate, and gets the following error:
    ""An error occurred in the underlying security system.  Key not valid for us in specified state."
    I now have two reports of this error - one on Windows 7, and one on Windows 8.0 (remote user).
    The one on Windows 8.0, we tried removing their S/MIME cert from Outlook/Windows and re-adding, this did NOT resolve the issue.
    Plan was originally to have the 8.0 user ship their machine in, and wipe it, since nothing else could fix it and I wasn't finding anyone else with the same issue.  Now that I've got a second user with the same issue, its looking like a bug/issue and
    not a random glitch.
    Thanks in advance for any and all help with this!

  • ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-01003: no statement

    Hi ,
    we pass Query to ref cursor using with clause and it works fine on oracle Sql but raise an error when called from
    ADO.net
    for example
    create or replace package body abc_details
    as
    proedure initial (p_refcursor out sys_refcursor)
    is
    begin
    v_sql='with a as (select ..
    , b as (select * from table(emppkg.empdetails))
    open p_refcursor for v_sql;
    end;
    with oracle 10g it works fine on Sql prompt and fetches the results but when called from ado.net it
    intermitantly fetches and error "ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-01003: no statement "
    Please suggest
    Thanks in advance.

    wild guess here,
    but emppkg.empdetails type look's like a pl/sql type,
    while it should be a sql type.
