Dynamics AX 2012 Workflow receives “Failed to find workflow” error
We have run across a few situations in Dynamics AX 2012 where the workflow batch job fails with the error “Failed to find workflow” message. When the customer received this error it prevented the remaining workflow messages in the queue from being processed. In order to process all of the items that were queued up we needed to complete the following steps:
1. Identify the record(s) that are causing the batch to fail.
Select a.RECID from SYSWORKFLOWMESSAGETABLE a Where a.ROOTCORRELATIONID notin(Select b.ROOTCORRELATIONID from SYSWORKFLOWTABLE b)and a.MESSAGELIFECYCLESTATE = 1
2. Dequeue the SYSWORKFLOWMESSAGETABLE records that do not have a corresponding SYSWORKFLOWMESSAGETABLE record.
Update SYSWORKFLOWMESSAGETABLE Set MESSAGELIFECYCLESTATE = 2 where RECID =<RECID returned from statement above>
The procedures above will dequeue the message causing the error and allow the batch to complete.
Note: As always, ensure you do a proper backup of your existing SYSWORKFLOWMESSAGETABLE prior to attempting this fix.
