Hello good people of the forum! I'm having a small problem with workflows. I'm able to start a workflow and do the user tasks with out any issues, as long as my app does not stop running. When I stop the app then rerun the app I can still see the user tasks on the over view pages however when I click on the tasks I get a pop up telling me to contact an administrator. I suspect that something is not getting committed that needs to be committed but I'm still pretty new to Workflows. The error message I get in the console is as follows: com.mendix.modules.microflowengine.MicroflowException: Workflow cannot be loaded because its definition is not found. at WorkflowExtention.ACT_ConfirmRequestDeliveryDate (OpenUserTask : 'Show user task page') Advanced stacktrace: at com.mendix.modules.microflowengine.MicroflowUtil.processException(MicroflowUtil.java:83)

Hi Alexander,
Did you ever solve this issue?

Hi Alexander,
When the workflow engine tries to open the page that belongs to that task it has to get this data (which page) from the workflow definition which is related to the workflow (instance). Somehow the runtime is not able to find the workflow definition for that workflow instance/task as per error " Workflow cannot be loaded because its definition is not found. ". Did you make any changes in Studio Pro and redeployed the app? In case you are using the Workflow Commons module you can check in the Admin section if the definition is still listed and their related workflow instances.
