Then its something specific with the template. Have you tried editing it (something inconsequential like description change) and then reinstall? If that doesnt work, then one of the activities is causing it. See we dont know what your workflow template looks like, cant you help any more.

Is this error specific to this workflow templare or do you have same problem starting other workflows?

Thanks Johnny.

It is specific to a workflow template. I am able to to start workflows using other workflow templates. Also I could start a Quickflow.

Please advise me.

Thanks.

This error usually occurs when you try to login while the database is off, so the CS fails to create a new session. Possibly there is an activity that fails creating a session or something like this. Do you have any custom activity templates? If yes, possibly they are not properly coded. See this for more info. https://community.emc.com/thread/113551
