Hi.

I am trying to run the Workflow infrastructure configuration job to activate workflow batch jobs.

However, when I run the job, no batch jobs are being created.

Any suggestions? I am system admin in the environment

Unable to create workflow batch jobs

Hi Gaute,

In your screenshot, the Batch group fields are disabled for editing. This happens when records for the workflow jobs are found in the Batch table. Maybe the batch jobs were created initially in a different language or someone earlier created manually the workflow batches in a completely different batch job.

In case these fields are disabled, existing records are being updated and no new batch jobs are created.

Creating batch jobs manually worked. Does anyone have any idea why the wizard is not working?

Did you try to create manually those jobs:

Workflow message processing -> class SysWorkflowMessageQueueManager

Workflow due date processing -> class WorkflowWorkItemDueDateJob

Workflow line item notification -> class SysWorkflowNotificationManager

It should do the same as wizard above

These are the only batch jobs containing the word "workflow". As you can see, batch jobs such as "Workflow line item notifications" does not exist

Hi Gaute,

Are there already existing batch jobs in the application for the workflow, maybe with a hold or ended state?
