WF Error

scott_field

Hello,

I am getting the following error in content_center.log when ever i run the workflow.

ERROR com.interwoven.ui.teamsite.workflow.task.TransitionTaskCommand () - Task Generate XML (351583) cannot be finished, because it is no longer active.

But workflow ends successfully with out any issues. Want to understand when can we get this error.

Could be a number of things. Is this a custom task? If your script runs that callback twice you will get the error.

Yes its a custom task which converts HTML to an XML . I have double checked my code and i am only calling this once

task.chooseTransition(task.getTransitions()[0],"XML Generated from HTML successfully");

can there be any other possibilities ?

If this custom task is a CGI WebTask, you might be transitioning once here in Java, and then again by directing the user to /iw-cc/transitiontask using the current task ID. When you execute the transition in Java, you want to use /iw-cc/transitiontask with the ID of the task returned by the chooseTransition() call.

It is a urlexternaltask i just referenced the a java class that would convert HTML to xml.

I can't imagine how could it be calling the transition twice unless if it is called with in that job by someother active task.
Can you comment out your transition statment and see whether the job get stuck or continues to next task? just make sure you have a task after 'Generate XML' task which is not a end task.

Alternatively - if you have a timeout transition on the task that happens to automatically transition to the next task (generally not recommended for anything other than perhaps an email task) - and the timeout threshold is smaller than than the amount of time it takes for the urlexternaltas to finish executing - then you could end up with a task that has transitioned while the other code is running, and when the code that is running attempts to perform the transition it finds that the original task is no longer active.

Interesting .. I have commented out the choose transition line from my java file referred in this particular task but still workflow is not getting struck .

and i do not see the error anymore ..

I still don't understand how my task successfully go to the next task Smiley Sad

That's not understandable when it is implemented through CSURLExternalTask, now it becomes tricky when there is need of deciding among more than one transition Smiley Happy

hope that's not the case for you here..

Yup i have only success transition in my task. But i have another urlexternaltask which will generate xml feed from dcrs. This this class i kept

task.chooseTransition(task.getTransitions()[0],"XML feed Generated from DCRs successfully");

but it is not throwing any error. So i am curious about the underlying cause for this.

Andy,

Actually I've just hit a similar issue. In one of my external tasks (in perl) I do the callback (once). If I callback success (i.e. 0), I get the same error message. If I callback with 1, it transitions Ok and finishes the workflow (there is no forking or timeout on false).

very bizzare. Definitely I'm not calling back twice....
