Hi Team,

In our production instance, one RITM workflow stuck in the Approval Coordinator activity even though all approvers are approved the requested item.

Is there any way to move the workflow in the next activity in the backend (using a background script)? 

Please help me.. Thanks in advance..

That sounds strange. If there's no wf_context record, then you also can't show the Workflow context (like the image you shared). Are you sure you are searching for the correct record?

Did you also check the result, within the workflow context that you showed? 

Just an example, hover over the last activity, what is the result? And does that result match the transition?

Yes, I am searching for the correct record. It's not in the workflow context table. 

Below is the result of the approval activity.

Sorry to say, but it really has to be in that table. Else you wouldn't be able to show the image you are sharing now.

Hmmm strange.

Can you copy the sys_id from the URL, something like:

find_real_file.png

And search for that sys_id in the wf_context table?

For example: sys_id=082a0d3b2f61b010cd5dd99df699b602
