'Failed to signal transition 'null' from workflow task 'jbpm

sp0025812

hi,
i am new to alfresco.
pesently working on Alfresco enterprise 2.2.

i customised a workflow(very similar to adhoc workflow)…registered the process definiton in the bootstrap.

everything is working fine, but when i click on Finish button on the workflow wizard, it pops me an error "Failed to signal transition 'null' from workflow task 'jbpm$15' ".
can you please give some clarifications on the same error.
will be waiting for the reply.
i have attached the custom process definiton along with the workflow model.

This error is cleared by un-installing and then again reinstalling the Alfresco software.
everytme the manadatory aspect is changed in the workflow model, the error occurs..
ex: if bpm:assignee is changed to bpm:groupAssignee or bpm:assignees….
everytime unstalling and reinstalling the software, clears the error.

this is just a trial method…not sure about the exact solution for the error.

can anyone please eloborate on the same.
will be waiting for the replies.
thanks in advance.

This may be because you are changing the workflow without redeploying it. This means, every started instance of that workflow relies on the old model, which used the original mandatory-aspect.

To redeploy a workflow, you have to specify an option in the appropriate …-context.xml in …/Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension. For the Alfresco-supplied workflows this is workflow-context.xml(.sample). Edit it and change the lines that read

<prop key="redeploy">false</prop>‍

<prop key="redeploy">true</prop>‍

If there is a .sample - extension to that file, discard it. The file should now end with …-context.xml, so Alfresco will use it.

This will start a new instance of the workflow containing your new model, while letting alone older instances with their now obsolete model.

I am also receiving this same message deploying my first custom workflow. The error is received in the UI when I click Finish to start the workflow. I can also see the error on the Tomcat console, but no further information is provided.

It is possible that I changed the mandatory aspect during the coding/deployment process. I never successfully executed my custom workflow so no workflow tasks were ever generated, so I wonder if the "changed mandatory aspect" applies to this case. I would prefer not to uninstall/reinstall Alfresco as suggested.

I tried to undeploy all versions of the workflow and then redeploy using the workflow console, but this didn't help. I also created a newly named version of the workflow using a different namespace to see if that would resolve the issue - it didn't.

I added the logger.log statements below to see if any of them would be generated, but they weren't.

Ok, found the problem. There is a syntax error in the swimlane defintion I posted above. Once corrected, the "failed to signal" message no longer appears and the workflow completes successfully.

The correct syntax:

   <swimlane name="assignee">
      <assignment class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment">
         <actor>#{bpm_assignee}</actor>
      </assignment>
   </swimlane>

The error was that there was an extra > in the assignment start tag http://forums.alfresco.com/en/posting.php?mode=reply&f=34&t=12945#

These kind of errors may happen cos of one of the following Reasons:

1.In workflow-content.xml,change the property
from
<prop key="redeploy">false</prop>
To
<prop key=" redeploy">true</prop>
2. Another possible changes might be the content which u created might be loaded properly so create a new content and then start Advancedworkflow.
3. one more thing is check the process-Definition.xml file:
Like you specified the correct path for child.
for Eg:
var reviewFolder =companyhome.childByNamePath("Review Project/PendingReview/Bob_reviewer");
bpm_package.children[0].move(reviewFolder);
