Well, this would be an example of a Reminder email that would be sent to approvers after a period of time, as specified on the workflow step itself, to remind them that a workflow is still pending their approval, which usually means that this workflow hasn't been completed or rejected outright, but is still pending some type of action be done on it.
When you look at the WFI10002 table, for example, prior to doing the upgrade, specifically the Workflow_Status values, what do those show?
The values are here:
1- Not Submitted
2- Submitted (Depricated)
3- No Action Needed
4- Pending User Action
5- Recalled
6- Completed
7- Rejected
8- Workflow Ended (Depricated)
9- Not Activated
10- Deactivated (Depricated)
Any workflows that show a Workflow_Status of 4, means that it still is requiring action on it.
The same for the other WFI tables, if a Workflow_Step_Status shows a 2, it means it is pending user action.
Reminder emails are sent out via a SQL job that usually calls a stored procedure which looks at the SY01500 table for a list of company databases, then uses other procedures to identify workflows that need reminder emails sent out, escalation to other approvers and the like.
My thoughts is you may be running into what I mentioned above.
Thanks
