APPLICATION - PRODUCT ENGINEERING - Error Information: The workflow you are attempting to use is not the Allowed Workflows for this item

Robin Bai - Tuesday, April 28, 2009 10:31 AM:

I defined a workflow and set it as defalut workflow of the item type part, that means while one of part instance is created the related workflow instance also be created.

In the next steps

1. I created a part instance successfully and the instance of my defined work flow also was created.

2. I logged the system and do votting at  first activity of the work flow, system raise an error message "The workflow you are attempting to use is not the Allowed Workflows for this item".

I have serveral questions that is based on above description.

1. Since the work flow can be instanced for a specific item, it's a part item in this example, why system tells "The workflow is using is not allowed one for the item"? What the root cause is and how to solve the problem?

2. When the system raises the error message, is any system log file available for detail analyze? If there are error related log files how to get it?

Robin;

For your question 1:  Any chance that your workflow has a sub-workflow?  If it does then the sub-workflow also has to be entered on the Part itemtype's Workflow tab.  Do not mark the sub-workflow as "default".

For your question 2:  I do not recall any system logging that is done by default.  The Programmer's Guide describes how to debug/log execution of client/server methods that you write, but that does not help with core Innovator code.
