SymptomThe workflow executes and appears to reach the End without an error but is Paused and one or more activity/steps are still blinking blue.Or an activity might blink red and you will see an error in the journal stating 'The computation step must have at least one inbound transition.'One or more transitions before the error/pause point are blinking orange (a major clue.)CauseNot all of your activities are connected.FixFor any that are disconnected, drag and drop them onto the incoming transition head.PreventativeWhen diagramming the workflow, move activities around. Connected activities should stay connected; the transition arrows follow them.

SymptomWhen saving a schema or previewing a form you get an error such as this one:CauseGenerally the problem is that your XPath is wrong. In this particular case, the XPath is referring to the extension schema namespace rather than to the correct namespace, i.e. nms:recipient.FixCorrect your XPath, the syntax in a transaction schema for a buyer link would be:<element label="buyer" name="buyer" target="nms:recipient" type="link"/>even though the Recipients schema might have been extended.Note that the link to the product in this transaction schema does use the custom namespace, because neo:product is a new datatype, not an extension:<element label="product" name="product" target="neo:product" type="link"/>PreventativeReview the XPath rules, and remember that an extension schema is not a new datatype. Rather it is a way to keep schema modifications isolated so they are not lost during upgrades.

SymptomActivity/step blinks red in the diagram, and the workflow goes to the Paused state (default behavior.)The workflow Failed flag is set to Yes (true) which can be seen in an Explorer folder or view containing workflows or in the Home page Instance monitoring dashboard.CauseAn uncaught exception during the processing of the activity/step.FixTo diagnose the exception, right-click on the activity/step and select Display logs. The fix will depend on the particular exception.PreventativeIn the future, avoid taking the action that caused the exception. Note:Specific exceptions will be described in subsequent discussions of this sub-forum.
