Need help executing this workflow

Hi All,

I created this simple workflow and try to test it.
But I am getting page not found error, when I select and execute this workflow.

I have included the code for both available_templates.cfg and workflow .wft
file.

Appreciate any help in advance,

When you click on the submit button (as per your config) do you see your workflow in the list?

Did you place your wft file in the appropriate directory?
Any other workflow runnin in ur env?

Item 1: Do not put custom workflows within default folder - it's the wrong place for them (though this has nothing to do with your problem)

Item 2: When posting questions such as this - try to provide as much context as possible:

From what you attached - you have a workflow "johnny_submit" which is intended to only be called via the Submit action by cms-dev\cmsmaster logged in with either the Author or Master role when navigated to any workarea within /default/main/johnny/Internet-Internet/Repository-Depot/ (I'm not sure I understand what you were trying to do at the end of the branch include directive - but if you're seeing the option to run your workflow we can probably ignore that).Looking at the WFT I see at least one significant error, which is that your submittask declares a successor of "end" but the task name is "End" - and I'm pretty sure that Workflow (like XML) is case-sensitive - so I'm surprised you don't get an error message.Beyond that - are you getting to see the prompts for things like 'Contributor', 'Due Date', and 'Description'? or are you not even getting that far?I suggest fixing the 'end'/'End' piece first and see if that resolves your problem - otherwise you'll have to provide a bit more information.

Thanks you all for the reply.

1) johnny_submit is being listed as one of the workflows. But when select and clicks the submit button, i see page not found error.

2) I corrected the mistake from End to end but still getting the same page not found error.

3) I supposed to see the prompts for workflow form items but i am not even getting that far.

4) I am using teamsite 6.5 on windows 2000 server platform

Double check your WFT - I see:

...
    description => [
 html => "<textarea cols='30' rows='5'> </textarea>,
 label => "Enter Job Description",
 is_required => "true",
     ],
...

The html line is missing the close-double-quote (

) - if that's the case, lord only knows how the code is getting interpreted.
Also:

...
my $description = _VALUE_('description','html');
...

That's wrong because you need to have double-underscores (

) before and after VALUE - not a single-underscore (

).

Try fixing both of those issues.

Thanks for your reply. I fixed those issues related to double quotes and double underscore but still getting a Page Not Found Error.

Is there any technique like putting debug print statements in my workflow to see where in the code is crashing . Now all I am getting is page not found error.

You can put debugging print statements within the template_script section of the WFT - but you should make sure those print's go to a file, not STDOUT or STDERR.

I'd also suggest taking a look at ALL the various TeamSite log files (including those that are under the iwui/ sub-directory to see if ANY of them contain information that might be related to the problem you are seeing.

I suggest you check the branch name provided in the available_templates.cfg.

I think the WORKAREA part should not be provided.
