SPML Modify user workflow

Question

Does anyone come across with this error from SPML request " <spml:errorMessage>ID 'id' is invalid. </spml:errorMessage>.
Im getting this error while im trying to modify user with SPML request. It is using custom form and custom workflow. The same workflow and form works fine for create user, but it is giving above error for modify user. I know that create and modify user uses same workflow and form.
If i use create user workflow (out-of-the-box), it works fine for create and modify user using SPML, but i customized .
Any suggestion is appriciated

I've usually seen errors like this when the accountId is null on a workflow view checkIn operation such as this snip below (note that id is an argument).
<Action application='com.waveset.session.WorkflowServices'>
          <Argument name='op' value='checkoutView'/>
          <Argument name='type' value='User'/>
          <Argument name='id'>
            <ref>accountId</ref>
          </Argument>What I'd suggest you try if possible is put a global error handler in your workflow like right at the top outside of any Activity such as Start and just below the variable declarations like this:
<Comments>&#xA;      Object containing information for registering a sunset date/time.&#xA;    </Comments>
      </Variable>
      <Variable name='error'>
        <Comments>Set in the event of unusual processing errors.</Comments>
      </Variable>
      <Variable name='options'>
        <Comments>Options to pass to the provisioning task regarding resource&#xA;              provisioning.&#xA;    </Comments>
      </Variable>
     <Transition to='end'>
<Comments>&#xA; Terminate if we encounter unusual errors (not provisioning errors).&#xA; </Comments>
<select>
<ref>error</ref>
<ref>WF_ACTION_ERROR</ref>
</select>
</Transition>
      <Activity id='0' name='start'>
        <Transition to='Rename'>
          <notnull>Then use the Workflow debugger to set a breakpoint on this <select> code and then you can trap the point in which the error occurs and inspect the variable namespace. If you don't want to use the debugger you could use the dumpView method:
<invoke name='dumpFile'>
         <ref>user</ref>
         <s>c:/temp/requestAccess-userView.xml</s>
</invoke> If you using activeSync and you're seeing this error I'd be tempted to breakpoint the activeSync userForm and simply step through the execution of the workflow until you find the error. Before the debugger was introduced debugging workflow errors was a world of pain.
