Node & not found error workflow

former_member592874 — Thu, 11 Dec 2014 09:31:44 GMT

Hi,

I have done some modifications in a workflow where I had to delete an undefined step 3461.

But, after my changes, I placed the undefined step back but with a new number 11938.

When I activate the workflow - it gives an error message - Node 3461 not found.

Any guesses what this could be.

I referred the following thread but not of much help

Please help me out...

Thanks

Mamatha

Why are you adding undefined steps to workflow templates? there should not be any, they are only created to be replaced by a real step when, for example, you add a fork.

when do you receive the error message? - when activating the workflow template? (in which case kindly add a printscreen) or is workflow runtime instance in a development system in which case you can simply start a new one.

P.S

By the numbers of your nodes (11938, 3461) I assume it is a huge workflow in which case you should consider using sub-worklfows or it's a heavily modified one, in which case you should try to see what is the reason for all the changes.

Hi Mamatha,

Please note that workflow doesn't really need any undefined steps. If the workflow is in syntax error , then definately you need to correct the definition. You can see workflow menus ( i forgot it is edit for some other ) , you will find "Block Correction". You need to select number of nodes , i suggest whole workflow design and then do the block correction. It will correct this node problem and then you can activate the workflow.

The other solution will be go back to previous version and do your changes again , but the block correction will definately solve your problem.

Thanks

thank you all guys.

But the undefined steps were required in the workflow. Not sure why though

The workflow is quite huge and when I delete those undefined steps - it gets cluttered.

I finally found that the error was getting raised due to an if condition before the undefined step

I deleted it and recreated it again with same conditions formulated and workflow got activated!!

But, I couldn't find the reason

Thanks for all your help

Mamatha
