Workflow saving issue

Hi,

I have designed a workflow with six (6) activities. When I try to save, it never gets finished...Saving popup window remains forever saying "saving activity "Approver-Marketing" showing 100%. I could save completely. Without saving I cannot validate and install the workflow.

When I try to save the workflow, I see the following in the command window that pops up when I run "launch_wfm.bat":

C:\Composer 6.7\Composer\WorkflowManager\wfm\classes>java -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=t

Note: I need to run "launch_wfm.bat" to get Workfloe manager in Composer 6.7.

Please share your knowledge and experience and help me.

Thanks.

Were you able to solve this issue?? as we get the same thing. Workflow manager hangs on save, validate, install, unistall... the workaround of shutting down workflow manager and relogging in and reopening the workflow is driving me batty!!

athati

When I opened Workflow Manager through Documentum Administrator, I did not get such error when a workflow is saved.

While in DA, you need to do File -> New -> Workflow Template. A warning window will popup. Select "No".

Later we moved to Process Builder which is the best option to create more powerful workflow templates with more custom activities.

FYI - even though Workflow Manager is still part of Documentum, its only there from backwards compatibility perspective. The code is probably over 10 yrs old. I would even go further to guess that the Composer product team probably doesnt regression test a lot (if not at all) against WFM.

Composer is designed to work with Process Builder and the rest of the xCP products.

The resolution for this issue is to run Workflow Manager with a 32-bit JRE. For me this issue occurred when my JAVA_HOME pointed to JDK 1.6.45 x64.

To fix this issue I edited the launch_wfm.bat and changed java in the last line to:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_45\bin\java.exe" -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true

Of course you should provide a proper path to the 32bit java on your system.

I am having the same issue in Workflow composer 20.4.

But I cant change it to 32 bit java. i have to use JDK 11 and it wont come in 32 bit version.

Hicham Bahi

What does it mean "You have to use JDK 11"? The old Workflow Manager works with previous version so find an old 32-bit version of JDK 1.7 or even 1.8 and install it. Alternatively, you can find 32-bit version of OpenJDK 11 (e.g. AdoptOpenJDK) and try it. Finally, you may want to try the new experimental Workflow Designer: from the D2 21.3 release notes: "You can download the Documentum Workflow Designer from the OpenText support site at Product Downloads > Documentum Server > Documentum Workflow 21.2."
