Request stays in Authorizing state even after approval

I've been trying to debug this for days now and it completely breaks my lab - until it fixes itself after some random time and then breaks again
I created a simple approval workflow which seeks approval from [//Target/Owner] when joining an Owner Approval Group. The request makes it to the Group Owner, but when the group owner approves the request, it stays stuck in Authorizing state and the user
doesn't become a member of the group. The WF also remains in Running status even after the request is approved. 
I've seen some similar problems around on the internet, and all seem to suggest Exchange related issues. I don't have an exchange setup in my lab, but I don't think not being able to send an email would completely break the approval process. Besides, it
does seem to spring back to life randomly and it all starts working again before breaking - very intermittent.
I've been messing around with the PS WF activity (which I use to calculate custom approvers), but I have disabled that WF completely for now and I'm just using OOTB activities and approvers.
Any suggestions on what the issue could be (apart from exchange)? There are no errors in the event logs either, but there are loads of exchange related errors/warnings which are expected. Alternatively, is there somehow I can disable the "feature"
where FIM tries to send an email?
Thanks

Yep, the approval responses are generated but the request still stays in Authorizing with the workflow in Running state. 
What makes this even more bizzare is the intermittent nature of the issue, it just seems to resolve itself after some time then break again. 
One thing I have noticed is that the problem starts when I use my custom WF to add approvers to the WF dictionary - the first activity is a powershell activity which calculates the approvers and the next one is the OOTB approval activity which sends an email
to [//WorkflowData/Approver]. However, the PS script runs just fine, and the approver gets the request but after approval nothing happens (although approval responses are generated)

  • Patches not visible in SCCM 2007 Site server even after approving the patches in WSUS

    Hi,
    The patches are not appearing in SCCM 2007 site server after approving the same patches in WSUS.
    Below are the patches.

    I have approved the above patches in WSUS and ran syncronization. The log wsyncmgr.log show that synchronization is done and even all child sites are syncronized. But I am unable to find the above even in the parent site. Checked all the SUP settings and
    all the 2008 server updates are set and marked to download.
    Please help me out on fixing this.

    So you should NEVER approve anything in WSUS. This will cause problems with your clients. Honestly since you approved things in WSUS, I would uninstall WSUS and reinstall it, reinstall the SUP, this will clear up any issues that now exist.

  • Load step in Yellow state even after completion

    Hi people:
    I have a situation here with aprocess chain.
    When the process chain is triggered,there is a load step which stays
    in yellow even after the load completes. We tried to push the step
    forward,but the chain wont progress. So,we had to do the rest of the
    steps in the process chain manually.
    Why does this hangover step happens in the process chains?
    Can some one give a solution to this situation, so that we don't have
    to do the steps manually everytime the chain is struck at the step?
    Any inputs are appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Check the status of the Process Variant in RSPCPROCESSLOG table. If the status of the variant is not 'G' then the process will not move to the next step though the loads complete succesfully.
    In this case you have to change the status to 'Completed' (G)manually.
    This could be done using the Function Module  'RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH'.
    Provide the below details in the FM
    1) I_LOGIN - Login ID of your process variant (you can find this in RSPCPROCESSLOG table)
    2) I_TYPE = CHAIN
    3) I_VARIANT = Your Proces Chain variant (Optional)
    4) I_INSTANCE = Double click on the object which was struck and click on Backg tab. Copy paste the instance.
    4) I_STATE = G.
    Hope this would resolve your issue.

  • Websites stay open in background even after closing them

    Hey everyone,
    I've been having issues with firefox lately. Pretty much, it seems like Firefox is keeping websites open in the background even after I 'x' them out. For instance, if I start a video on Youtube and leave it running after leaving the page.. it will continue playing in the background. If I go on facebook, I will receive facebook messenges even when it's not open on any tab. The various plug-ins for firefox never close and I have to manually force-quit them or they hog all of my CPU. The only solution I have so far is to close and restart firefox more routinely than I would like.
    I'm also having a problem with entering websites into the address bar. Basically, new windows won't work for typing in websites. The solution I've found is to disable ANY of my add-ons (it doesn't matter which).. then I will be able to use the address bar for that window.
    I am using the latest version of Firefox. The plug-ins I use are:
    Ad block 2.64
    Download status bar 10.6.0
    Monitor master 5.2
    No script 2.6.8.36
    Open link in new tab 0.1.201407301
    PDF viewer 1.0.277
    Session manager 0.8.1.5
    Super tab mode 1.85
    URL fixer 4.1
    Mac OSX 10.9.3
    Please help! I want to continue using firefox but this is getting annoying!
    Thanks!!

  • Can we remain in the same state even after clicking submit button?

    Hello All,
    Can we remain in the same stage even after clicking submit button? Also it should remain in the same stage only when certain conditions are met. For eg:
    Condition : In Stage1, CustomFieldA default value is 'No'. To pass from Stage1 to Stage2 the CustomFieldA value should be made to yes.
    Scenario 1 : CustomFieldA value is 'No', and I click on Submit .
    Expected Result : should remain in the same stage
    Is above result achievable in PS 2013? I am creating workflow in Visual Studio 2012, so can I handle this in the workflow?

  • FireFox remembering last website state, even after restarting, clearing history, cookies,cache etc. No other does this (IE,Chrome,Opera...)

    On the website, after 3-4 login attempts and an error message appears. You cannot retry unless you exit out of the browser(s) completely.
    I closed all FireFox browsers, opened a new browser and cleared Recent History will all checked. Closed the browser and restarted the browser again. Going to the website, the error message page is displayed and not the login page.
    With IE (also Chrome and Opera), after closing all the browser window(s) and restart browser and then go the website, I get to the login page, not the error message page.
    It sounds like FireFox is keeping something around (even after clearing everything out) and the website is remembering you in some way.

    -> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on ALL Options -> click '''Clear Now'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> '''When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page"''' and click '''Reset to Default''' button
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Remember History"'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Remove Checkmark from '''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button

    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Appearance section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Themes (Persona)
    -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

  • Why won't adblock plus stay on the computer, even after I sent $5.oo?

    I used to have Firefox on my laptop and my favorite part about it was Adblock. After having work done on the computer, I reinstalled Firefox. No adblock so I reinstalled it. It stayed until the next use; I had to reinstall it each time. Now it does not even come on, even though I sent $5.00 to Firefox because I feel it is more than worth it.

    First of all, because you wrote, in effect, that you are having trouble "even though I sent $5.00 to Firefox," I want to assure you that the folks at Firefox and at Adblock are not conspiring to do bad things to users who do not send them money, which they then suspend when you send them enough. So please send any donation because you care (you seem to) and not out of fear (as you wrote, perhaps in haste).
    As for your question about Adblock Plus, one question in advance, please. At the upper right of your screen, just to the right of the search engine box, can you see the letters "ABP" inside a red stop-sign shape? This is one sign that Adblock Plus is installed. Similarly, under the Firefox menu item View, perhaps the fourth option down from the top, can you see Adblock Plus: Blockable Items"? It should be there. Also, under the Firefox menu item Tools, can you see Adbock Plus Preferences'? Finally, also under Tools, when you open Add-ons, is Adblock Plus in the list that appears?
    These are clues to let us know for sure that Adblock Plus is actually installed or not, which will help others help you.

  • Why the Fibre uplink ports are down state even after giving no shutdown command at the interface

    Hi
    My Predecessors brought 2 CISCO 3750 switches and implemented LACP on these core switches. Due to looping in the network the Fibre uplink ports GigabitEthernet1/1/3 and GigabitEthernet2/1/3 are down (I think these uplink ports are mirrored in the LACP concept)
    Please see below from the configuration.
    I logged into the core switch and went to this particular interface GigabitEthernet1/1/3 and I gave the following command and still the port is in the down state after I gave no shutdown command. Do I need to give the same no shutdown command at interface GigabitEthernet2/1/3 as well ?
    Switch-Core1(config) interface GigabitEthernet1/1/3
    Switch-Core1(config-if)#no shutdown
    Switch-Core1(config-if)#

    It is possible you are overloading that little 4215. If that is the case you should also be seeing "missed packet percentage" messages in your events.
    How much traffic is your 4215 getting? Those sensors will start to drop packets for inspection at about 30 Mb/s.

  • UWL - Leave Request item still in UWL after approval

    Hello,
    we are facing the problem that the leave request items have still state "new" after the approval and don't change the state.
    But in the list the leave request is not visible any more... so the approval worked.
    I found the discussion: Approved items in UWL remains in the status "new". and Leave request workitem in UWL status update issue but that didn't help.
    Does someone know what to do?
    thanks, Vanessa

    Hello Lukas,
    with the help of the wiki: http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/UWLworkitemisnotrefreshedafteraLeaveRequesthasbeen+approved I was able to find the required note to get the status fixed. It is now completed and that's great. Unfortunately the items are still there. I am only able to see the new items in the transaction. The old ones are not visible but I need to delete them. Tomorrow I will ask some WF guru to help me fix it.
    I also think that there is still a problem with the configuration of the UWL / backend WF. It could be that ne required jobs are not planned. I was happy that the UWL worked so fast but now....

    When a file is attached to PO, is it possible to freeze the attachment after approval? as the users are able to remove or change the attachment from PO even after approval. This should not be happened. Please help me to achieve this.

    Pavan,
    What type document you are asking? If it is Terms and Condtions attachment based on your profile values it displays. Users cannot change that document.
    If it is document attached from Applications (like attachement button ), User can delete if user has employee and buyer setup.

  • ARQ: Manager/Role Owner can modify request details even after submitting the request???

    Hi All,
    I have noticed that after Submitting (Approving) a request, manager or role owner can still modify the user details (field are editable) like role validity date etc in a request. This is quite weird!
    Although, after submitting a request by a requester, all field are disabled.
    Has any one encountered with this problem? How can I control this?
    Please advise.
    Regards,
    Faisal

    Alessandro,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes, I got it and that is why I got confused.
    This EUP I have defined and the desired fields are visible and editable and seems to be working fine.
    However, the problem is, even after submitting a request, manager and role owner is able to edit the values in the fields which is incorrect!
    Actually, once a request is submitted, I believe request should be only display mode!
    You know what, this is working absolutely fine with requester. Meaning, once a requester submits a request, then all fields are disabled and values in them can not be modified any more.
    But I am not sure why this is not happening with managers/role owners.
    Please advise.

    Faisal

    I read your entire message, and my mom's iPhone 5 does this exact same thing. When the idiot at the AT&T store transferred her data (well, most of it) to her new phone, he DID NOT use her latest iCloud backup like he should have, but used some features in "Bump" to move things across. So, in my opinion, it's not worth the hassle of restoring it as a new device as Tim suggests. That's just the easy answer. Here's something odd about hers. It seems to do this, when she's using her bluetooth earpiece (a Jawbone Icon), but not when she's got bluetooth disabled on the iPhone 5 and holding down the "Home" button to activate Siri. If she uses her Jawbone bluetooth earpiece to activate Siri, the answer that Siri presents on the phone's screen will only stay on for about five seconds, then dim, then go blank -- and she has to "swipe to unlock" and, of course, the Siri information is gone. Not so if she uses the Home key to activate Siri.
