Background task not completing

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am triggering one standard task(TS) from event 'releasestepcreated' of Purchase Req. The task is a background task. The task is not completing automatically, it is always in 'in process' step. This was happening fine earlier and we refreshed our client and its not heppening now. All the configs in SWU3 is fine. Even I re-execute the task manually its giving me the error 'Work item xxxxxxxxxxxx cannot be executed in status E'.

Can anyone say, why the background task is 'in process' status where as it should complete automatically. You help is much more appreciated.

Thanks,

Please check for any dumps in ST22

try restarting the workitem thru SWPR

Hi,

Which standard task you are triggering with the event?

Is it part of your workflow or you are triggering a single step task with the help

of the event 'releasestepcreated'?

I am not using any standard task, I am using my custom task which gets triggerred through the event.

The code I have written here is mentioned below.

begin_method sendworkitemoutlook changing container.

WAIT UP TO 15 SECONDS.

SUBMIT zstp_wf_send_wi_email USING

SELECTION-SET 'WFTASKS' AND RETURN.

end_method.

Remove the wait statement....

And make sure the input parameters to the SUBMIT program are getting passed corrctly...

Also check the Binding once

All you need to do is check ST22 for relvent dumps and correct it. this is because of some error in the program.

the two reason may be

1. it gave a runtime error while executing in the background. has it given some dump on that day it went on executing the step

2. the other reason may be the submit program u r calling went into an infinite loop

The Task should be a asynchronous step which will get terminated by a terminating event only. Please check whether terminating event gets triggered from SWEL when you user Execute the Task.

No, the task is a synchronous and background task. Any help on this is really appreciable.
