Workflow stuck between 2 steps

Hi ,
I have a workflow which is getting stuck between the two steps, not at any particular step and in one of the instances the workitem number of the previous step is showing zero. I checked ST22 but there are no related dumps. Can some one advise on this scenario.
Thanks,
Vikas

Hi,
>>I have a workflow which is getting stuck between the two steps, not at any particular step>>
What do you mean by not at any particular step? by the way, what is the current status of your workflow? and also current status of last step in your workflow?
Make sure All Basic Workflow Customizations are correctly set, check SWU3 and correct if any problems there.
Good Luck !!

  • Workflows stuck between steps not on steps

    Hi
    We have upgraded from 4.6 to version 6 and erp2005 portal. The problem we are having is that a few of our old workflows seem to get stuck between steps and not on the step itself. 2 examples, the old sub workflow for to lock employees gets stuck on the arrow in the graphic between 'find employee' and 'lock employee' similarly if a 'process control' sets a work item to 'obsolete' to cancel it the process cancels the work item but does not fully exit the obsolete process branch and is stuck there on the arrow in the swi1 graphic. The workflow status is 'In Process' no errors are given.
    Any ideas? Are there maybe notes that have to be implemented to correct a bug in the system?
    Maximum points awarded for this. Thanks!

  • Criteria workflow -in between steps

    Hello,
    I have a criteria workflow with two documents linked together (through a custom component). I want them to be approved together.
    One document cannot leave the step without the other one.
    How could i send one of them, after being approved by User1 in an "pending/waiting" state (or at least remove it from his "Worklist Assigments"), somewhere between the steps.
    I want the document out from the User1's "worklist assignments" but not in the User2 "Wk assignments", untill the second document isn't also approved by User1.
    Is there something like dStatus = "pending" in basic workflows ?
    Can anyone help me , pls ?

    One thing I've done in the past is to use the extra exit conditions or additional update event criteria (code) to hold the docs in place until I want them to move.
    I might do something like this:
    1) create a companion file variable to act as a flag stating when it has been approved.
    2) because the update event evaluates in the event of an approval write some event script that a) looks for the approve event b) if found checks for any other constraints - like a linked document that has not yet been approved c) sets the "I have been approved" flag .
    In your example, Doc 1 is approved but the extra exit condition looks for the"I have been approved" flag for itself AND it's linked file, Document2. When Doc 2 is approved the code extra exit condition sees that both Doc 2 AND Doc 1 have been approved and allows them to progress.
    It is best to think of workflow steps as logic containers rather than sequential events. Using jump logic you can trigger the movement (flow) of documents to any container you want and under the conditions you specify (such as only when my linked file is also approved).
    hope this helps.

  • Relationship between the workflows what have been triggered frm parent workflow using container step

    Hi All,
    There is a scenario in CQ5.5 where "Workflow A" has container step to initiate another "Workflow B" from it. Now the requirement is to identity the Workflow A's instance ID in "Workflow B".
    Being quite unable to find any relationship between the workflows what have been triggered from parent workflow using container step.
    Could any one share the pointers for the same?
    Thanks in advanced.

  • Syncing iPad2: PLEASE HELP ME! My iPad2 has been stuck on step 8 of 8 for a day now - waiting to copy items. What can I do to fix this? Nothing is actually happening! I'm running ios5 on an iPad 2.

    I recently upgraded to to the iOS 5 on my iMac and iPad. Now when i sync my iPad it get stuck on step 8 with a prompt that says "waiting to copy items" it stays on like that for hours. When I eventually do disconnect my iPad it says sync is not complete. Now, some of my album artwork is not copied into my iPad but on iTunes in my iMac desktop everything is still there. Pulling my hair out with this one. Please help!

    my iPad it get stuck on step 8 with a prompt that says "waiting to copy items" it stays on like that for hours
    Reset your iPad.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    I recently upgraded to to the iOS 5 on my iMac and iPad
    You don't need to manually sync using iOS 5.

  • When syncing after recent update, sync is stuck at "Step 4 of 4" "Waiting for changes to be applied" and will not complete, even after hours.  How can this be fixed?

    I completed the most recent software update for both iTunes and iPhone recently.  I am now trying to sync my iPhone to add newly purchased audiobooks and the sync remains stuck at "Step 4 of 4" with the message "Waiting for changes to be applied"  I have tried everything to correct this.  When sync is cancelled a failure to sync message is generated.  Any ideas????

    Alright, so I reset my computer and suddenly it then recovered. Other times it wouldn't recover after resetting the computer, so I have no idea how it happened. I just restarted the computer lots of time and finally it worked.
    Okay, back to square one. Now to transfer music, I tried my previous acknowledgable solutions but they didn't work. The iPod touch does not feature a hard-disk mode, and windows media player doesn't support iPods.
    I've tried multiple programs to transfer music but none of them work properly and keep giving me error codes. So my iPod still gets stuck at Step 4: Waiting for changes to be applied or whatever it said.
    Thanks in advance ._. (Please help)
    p.s - Apple is useless. If I don't get steady answers tomorrow I'm going to end up calling them and get this problem fixed first hand. Second hand? I don't know, over the **** phone.

  • TS4062 HELP!!!  When I try to sync my iPhone with iTunes it gets stuck at step 2 and goes no further.  I have iTunes 10.6.3.25.  It happens all the time.  I have Windows 7.

    Please help.  Every time I try to sync my iphone with itunes it gets stuck at step 2 and just spins.  I have iTunes 10.6.3.25 installed.  I've even shut down and rebooted.  Nothing helps.

    Based on what someone else said, I am getting the "rotating ball of eternal sadness".  Yup.  That about describes it.

  • My iPod Touch Gen 5 will no longer synch with iTunes on my computer.  Only change since this happened is update to iPod to OS 8.1.1  iPod synch remains stuck in "Step 8 of 8"

    My iPod Touch Gen 5 will no longer synch with iTunes on my computer.  Only change since this happened is update to iPod to OS 8.1.1  iPod synch remains stuck in "Step 8 of 8"

    On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
    Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
    You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
    What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
    My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

  • HT201401 while syncing - been stuck on step 5 of 5 'waiting for items to copy' for an hour - help?

    while syncing - have been stuck on step 5 of 5 'waiting for items to copy' for an hour...........i'm suspecting there is a problem
    last night i attempted to upgrade to the most recent IOS - after that was done, i attempted to sync my phone
    got a message that said that 'Itunes has detected a Iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this Iphone before it can be used with Itunes'
    I was unfamiliar with 'restoring' so i just unplugged my phone - which was then stuck....
    i went to my local Apple store this a.m. and was told to go home and restore my phone - which i did and then it asked if i wanted to restore it again with my backed-up info - which i am currently attempting to do (see first line for current problem)
    p.s.  i started this process as 12:30 p.m.........................

    There is no fix. There are a variety of partial fixes that sometimes work for some people, but there's nothing that has consistently solved the issue. Just do a google search, you'll see thousands of forum posts about it.
    It's a bug in iTunes, and we're all hosed until Apple fixes it. Which they have shown zero desire to do (I've reported the bug to them through multiple channels multiple times, and they simply do not care).

  • I go to sync my Iphone 3Gs (IOS 5) with iTunes on my pc and is is stuck on step 8 "waiting to copy items" it has been like this for over an hour.

    If you are stuck at the blue screen then you can try booting into safe mode (hold shift during boot) and then run disk repair. If that still doesn't fix it then you might have to reinstall OS X. What version of OS X are you running?

  • Modified Workflow Stuck on In-Progress

    I have a modified Approval Workflow where I send emails out to notify the end user when the due date is approaching etc. nothing really fancy about it. I also email when a document has been approved and is rejected. For the Task form I modified it so a
    user has to enter comments in for their task before rejecting it. Now, on occasion I have found that all the tasks will complete however, the workflow status is still In-Progress. This has happened very sporadically and very infrequent but it still bothers
    me. Any one have any ideas? Could be getting mixed up when I push out a new version of the workflow or Infopath form? Alot of times if I have to make a change to the workflow It will require that the Infopath task forms needs updating. Thanks in advance for
    any input!

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint 2010 OOTB approval workflow status remains In Progress even after approving the task.
    Sometimes in SharePoint Workflow, tasks will get locked and you will not be able to proceed further.
    I recommend to update WorkflowVersion of the task to "1".
    It seems the task list was somehow messed up, you can create a new task list.
    In addition, please make sure the "Assigned to" column property which allows multiple user selections set to "NO".

  • HT5037 I am stuck on step 2.  Where is the Go menu in The Finder?

    Got a new iMac, and trying to use iPhoto, and get this message:  "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared." If you do, you can use the iPhoto Library Upgrader tool to prepare your library to work with the current version of iPhoto.
    I click on learn more and get to this page, and I get stuck on step 2.  Where is the Go menu in The Finder?

    Here's another method to get to the library:
    NOTE: In Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder (the folder with the house icon) and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    Check the Show Library checkbox which will make that folder visible.
