Flows stuck in queued state even though the trigger conditions are met

[tadabala]

In our environment, the flows are getting stuck in a queued state even though the trigger conditions are met.

I've observed that:

• The flow name appears as empty in the sys_flow_context table for both Incident and Request tables.

• However, flows for SLAs are executing correctly.

• The flow.fire event is also stuck in a state showing a garbage value.

Tried the process from the below thread but it did not workout for my issue.

Has anyone else encountered this issue or found a workaround?

@tadabala ,

It sounds like your flows are stuck in queued because the underlying flow.fire events aren’t being processed (and sys_flow_context ends up with blank flow names) so you should check whether the Flow Engine Event Handler job in sys_trigger is stuck or disabled and verify for a backlog in sysevent, because if that job isn’t running properly the flow contexts never get picked up to execute.......

The flow.fire event state is showing a garbage value instead of ready or processed. I’m not sure how it’s getting set to that value.
