Workflow stops going ahead

Dear all,
I created a very simple workflow. Besides the "start" and "end" step, there's only one step, which just writes a record into DB table. This step has no agent. I tested it via transaction SWUS but found the status is always "in progress". The progress stops at the step which should write to DB table. Can you help to solve this problem?
Thanks + Best Regards
Jerome

Hi Jerome,
did you mark your task as a background task?
And check the protocol of your WF in TA SWIA. It may give you a clue...

Workflow stopped working when we added new person to dummy HR position

Hi,
We have a third party expense reporting system which apparently sends some sort of IDOC to our SAP system. This uses a HR dummy position in a dummy org to which users have been assigned. These users are supposed to receive workflow emails that are expense reporting related.
In August we added a person to this HR position and there were no issues.
In October we added a person to this HR position and workflow stopped working. We tried taking the person back off who was last added and workflow will not come back on.
How do we get the workflow to process again? We can figure out why that one person didn't work if we can get the workflow working for the other 5 people going again.
Sorry for the high level details of the issue. I haven't worked all the parts of it and am just pulling info from people to try and help find a solution.
UPDATE:
Here is the problem as described by my colleague.
For the Concur expense reporting system, the data from the Concur system is communicated as IDOCs to SAP through the PI middleware. When these IDOCs fail during the inbound processing (status 51) emails will be triggered and sent to the org unit (position - 50003828). A change was made to the position by the HR team on Oct 7th (a new user was added and one was removed). Since then the users have stopped receiving emails. The workflow has stopped.
We tried to take that new user back off and the email did not start back up. We would like to get it started again and then figure out how to add that new user without an issue.
Thanks,
Wendy

Hello,
"A change was made to the position by the HR team on Oct 7th (a new user was added and one was removed). Since then the users have stopped receiving emails. The workflow has stopped."
The fact that the users have stopped receiving emails does not mean that the workflow has stopped. Ask your colleague why he thinks that.
My guess: a change was made to that position, for example it was date-delimited so that it's no longer valid.
As suggested above, look in SWI1. It'll be very easy if you know what the workflow number (WS....) is.
Is it absolutely certain that it's a workflow sending these mails? If you look at an example of a mail, who was it sent by?
Applying SWI1_RULE would only help if there was just one new user not receiving emails.

When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as google) I get a message that it could not find the loaction. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened.

When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as Google) I get a message that it could not find the location. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened. Then when I close the window I see that the message is still there. I have to close it separately. Any suggestions? Oh, and this only happens if Firefox is NOT already active. If I have another Firefox window open when I click on the Icon, it just opens as expected. This message appears no matter which site Icon I select. It did not happen before I upgraded to ver 9.0.

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

My screenshots have stopped going to my clipboard. How can I get my screenshots back into the clipboard?

I use Command (⌘)-Shift-4 to grab screenshots of diagrams to make flashcards with on a daily basis. But now my screenshots have stopped going to my clipboard - and they don't paste into my flashcards.
Dropbox popped up and asked me if I wanted to use it to save my screenshots and I said No Thanks, but then right after that my screenshot function stopped working. I can still save shots to my desktop, but I'd love to not clutter my desktop. The screenshots are not going to dropbox either, I checked.
Can someone tell me how to get my screenshots to go back to going into my clipboard?
Thanks!

Thanks Lanny! I actually typed in the wrong command into my question - I meant to type what you mentioned. But I did end up figuring it out: for some reason the shortcut to screenshot into my clipboard changed. I was able to restore all my shortcut commands back to default and it worked again!
Thanks!

Hi Arghadip,
Design Description of MAIN WF.
BO: ZBUSECM(original: ECM).
1)WF get triggered by ECO(CC01).
2)ACTIVITY STEP to extract fields for both (Material & BOM ).
3)2 level FORK to trigger BOM & Material WF.
4) CONDITION to check flags for both BOM & Material.
5) BOM : if yes, reset flag to space & proceed. if no, no action. proceed further. till end of FORK.
6) MATERIAL :if yes,reset flag to space
6a)BLOCK to trigger material WF.
6b)STEP to Trigger material WF(This will call sub workflow).
6c)WAIT step to receive material WF "COMPLETED" event.
6d)ENDBLOCK to trigger material WF.
7) END of 2 level FORK.
8) ECH: Release ECO.
9) WAIT step to ECM Close.
10) Send mail for ECM Closure Notification.
11) WF Complete.
Design Description of Material(SUb) WF.
BO: ZBUS1001(supertypel: BUS1001006).
starting from 6b above.
1)WF get triggered by 6b event "INITIATE".
2)ACTIVITY STEP to send the material for editing to MM COntroller agent.
3) ACTIVITY STEP to send material for editing to fianance agent.
4) ACTIVITY STEP to complete the sub flow by triggering custom event "ZMANITRIGGERMATWFCOMPLETE" , which further calls the "COMPLETED" event by function module to hand over the control back to MAIN WF.
Now, the above mentioned step(4) is not handing over the control to main WF........
& also matnr is not being passed to sub flow now........
Regards & thanks.

3 year old iMac 24 running OS10.7.4. After it has been on for a day or so, it stops going to sleep and becomes very slow. This only happens when Safari is running. Quitting Safari solves the problem. Has anyone else have the same problem?

Hello Albert, see how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Workflow not going to next activity

Hi Experts,
It seems like my Workflow is going into the self loop, i.e instead of proceeding to the next level it is calling first activity againa and adding same approvers.
The systems behaviour is as below
1. Level 1 - Prescript could add approvers successfully
2. Level 1 Approvers received email to approve
3. Level 1 Approver approves the request
4 Workflow is again adding Level 1 approvers again and send emails to the same set of level 1 approvers.
After looking at the logs, it is clear that, the flow is not going to the 'pre-script' of level 2.
Any idea?
Cheers
Yogesh

Thanks Baski,
Yes, It was the xpdl issue. What I tried to do is, I opened the XPDL created in the together 1.1 version in the together 4.1 version. And tried to recttify some errors.
After rectifying errors, the XPDL was looking ok in the viewer,but it seems it had some missing elements.
Somehow I could manage to get the together 1.1 version and created the XPDL again and it stared working fine.
Thanks
Yogesh

My samsung stratosphere is very slow to place a call. I input the number and push CALL. Nothing happens. I try it again and nothing happens. Then some time later (2-5 mins) the phone goes ahead and dials. What is causing this delay in dialing?

Workflow stopped at background step

Hi Experts,
I have a background step in my workflow , when iam testing this workflow from SWUS the workflow is getting stopped at this background step the workflow is not going forward to next step. the workflow log shows ' task started in background'
moreover i did't find any errors in the log for the same.and i checked SM37 there the relevent job is finished. please advice what canbe the problem?
Thanks & Regards,
Sarath.

HI Sarath ,
Just change yuor task from BAckgroung to foreground. Insert a break point in the code of the function module used in the task and execute your workflow.
Coz you cant debug a background task , you will never come to know wht is happening inside .
By debugging get the problem in the code , rectify it and change the task again to the background .
Hope this will help.
