Workflow gets stuck for approvals after rescheduling the change.

KB Summary by Now Assist

Issue

Symptoms


One of the use case when a change is rescheduled is cancelling/deleting the workflow  and  approvals via UI actions and re-starting the  workflow.

For the new workflow context, we sometimes notice workflow gets stuck at group approval activity and doesn't assign any approvers.

Release


Jakarta

Cause


Workflow will not assign new approves as group approval record that gets generated before canceling/deleting the workflow approvals is available.

Group approval records are created on "sysapproval_group" table.

Resolution


Before re-starting the workflow make sure the group approval record for the change is deleted.
