Symptoms

Hi,

We have upgraded our system from Siebel Consumer Goods 7.5.3 to 7.8.2.5. We have deployed all the workflows that we had in our old system, but when we are running them as REPEATING COMPONENTS they all error out. Here's the error message ---

Symptoms

SBL-BPR-00107, SBL-BPR-00144, SBL-BPR-00183

After the upgrade from 7.5.3 to 7.7.2.1 One of our workflows that handles email and creates Activities for us and Closes SRs for us does not work. We are troubleshooting and I am attaching the logs from the CommInboundReceiver and the workflow itself.

Errors:

ObjMgrLog    Error    1    0    2005-01-29 23:07:23    (evaluator.cpp (665)) SBL-BPR-00107: Argument 'EventFields.HTMLCharset' in step 'Extract Event Fields' is not correctly initialized or does not return valid data.

Solution

For the benefit of other customers:

It was found that one of the Business Service steps had an Output Argument of Type='Process Property' where as there is no LOV of that type. It seems that the Upgrade process may have changed this type and caused the WF process not able to initialize the step. Correcting the type and selecting the ‘Output Argument’ LOV worked.
