Cannot submit content to workflow

mcmagi — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 02:13:46 GMT

I am receiving the following error message when I attempt to submit a file that was part of a task that has since been rejected:The following items cannot be submitted as they are already part of a workflow.It seems Alfresco thinks it's still a part of some workflow process. How can I remove it fro

Ok, that appeared to do the trick. However, we now we receive an error when we attempt to complete some of the tasks.

     * A system error happened during the operation: Failed to signal transition '' from workflow task 'jbpm$129'‍

We have since made some changes to the sandbox that affects some of the articles which were in the workflow. For example, we moved them by copying & pasting the files elsewhere and reverting the folders they were originally submitted in. I believe that may be related to the above error.

So are these tasks now forever stuck here or is there some way we can get past the above error?

Note that the files we pasted are still missing the submit icon and still associated with a workflow task, so I'm hoping we'll be able to resubmit them once we complete these tasks. The only reason why this is significant to us is we have a lot of content (about 50 generated files) in this status that would take a lot of time to re-enter.

Also, all the extra tasks are resulting in very long startup times for the virtualization server. Since it creates a separate webapp for each workflow item, the restart time is now at about 15 minutes.

I have the same problem as reported.

Check the task list of the user who initially contributed the task and ensure that you click on the "Task Done" button.

However when I open my particular task there is no "Task Done" button. The only button is the Close button. In my completed task list the task in question has the Outcome set to 'Approve' (and not Done).

In my case it may have something to do this issue: "Could not execute JDBC batch update" error but I'm not sure.

I seem to be a bit stuck now since I cannot get the items out of the workflow.

The JDBC update exception has now been investigated and oddly enough will be found on most databases except MySQL. A fix will go into HEAD today.

A quick follow-up on Dave's behalf, who just checked in a fix for this. This will roll into an updated Community build in the next two weeks.

Hey guys. Thanks for the replies, but unfortunately, this is not the same thing as what's happening in my case. When I examine the tomcat logs for the Alfresco GUI (not the virtualization server) I see the following:

Can you file a support case here? This warrants investigation.
