Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
00012125 ??? "0143249256|"

There is no proper description for U00012125 messages in the User Interface.  They look like 00012125 ??? "0143249256|"

The text "CANCEL_ALL_CHECK_ATTEMPTS exceeded for Workflow with RunId: '&01'. Workflow can not be deactivated automatically." should normally be displayed, instead of the question marks.  The digits displaying along with "|" correspond to the affected workflow's RunID.

Investigation

From the User Interface go to Client 0 > System Overview > Messages and fill in the search fields as described below:

• Message number : '00012125'
• Date period / Number: from any other date earlier than today until today

Then press Start.  Results similar to those below will be displayed.

You may also see similar behavior in Workflow reports:

If the search doesn't return any results, you may force the U00012125 error to occur :

1. Create an OS job (JOBS.WIN or JOBS.UNIX) with a process and a postprocess tab

2. In the process tab add any command - "echo test" for instance

3. In the postprocess add a command that should run for at least 2 minutes - e.g. ping localhost for 120 seconds

 :SET &CMD# = PREP_PROCESS("&$AGENT#","WINCMD",,"CMD=ping -n 120 localhost","UC_LOGIN=&$LOGIN#")

4. Then nest the task in a workflow
5. In the JOBP > Runtime tab should be set to 1 minute Maximum runtime, else cancel.

6. Then run the JOBP.  It will be canceled after a minute but the nested JOBS will continue to run for 2 minutes.

7. The issue will be visible after the Workflow has completed.
