Change owner of an active task

I want to change the owner of an active (non-group-) task (for vacation replacement).

The first CLT:
iwsettaskownerandarea 12345 newuser /default/main/mybranch/WORKAREA/mywa

Results in:
Owner cannot be explicitly changed on an active task. Please use "iwtaketask" instead.
ERROR:02427: Task or Workflow is active

The second try:
iwtaketask 12345 newuser

Results in:
ERROR:02439: Operation not permitted

And finally:
iwsettaskattrib 12345 active f
active is not a modifiable attribute for task 12345

Returns:
ERROR:00022: Invalid argument

This should be possible since it's not a very unusual operation.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Philipp

The way i have done it is in a perl script which makes use of the wftask.pm and SetOwner.

basically,

use TeamSite::WFtask;
my $newTask = new TeamSite::WFtask($TaskID_of_Task_To_Be_Changed);
$newTask->SetOwner($newOwner);

TS 5.5.2 on NT.

The only think that SetOwner does is executing the iwsettaskownerandarea CLT. Have you tried it on active tasks?

What version of TeamSite are you using (including patches / service packs)?
What platform is the TeamSite server (Windows, Solaris, etc.)?

We are currently migrating from 5.5.1 (latest SP+Patches) to 5.5.2 SP3 on Solaris. I have tested it on 5.5.2 now, and it works fine there. (The problem only occured on 5.5.1)

So this problem will be solved within next days.
Thank you for helping.
