Flow Designer - Erro - Invalid pharmacy compound uuid: 4e536ea7-84ba-4819-bedb-344306fef337

[Bruno Moreira]

  has anyone experienced this error when activating a Flow in the Flow designer?

I can change and save my flow. I can test the flow, but I can't activate my flow.

I'm on the Washington DC version patch4-hotfix1

I removed the "Get catalog variables" component and inserted it again and the problem was solved

It really seems like sometimes a reference of some type gets corrupted, but it's not clear what it is. It would be very helpful if we could translate these into a specific object or connection to look at and diagnose. So far the only solutions seems to be 'delete everything until it starts working'.

I also had this error and think i found a good way to troubleshoot and resolve it.

"Invalid pharmacy compound UUID:" refers to the table sys_hub_pill_compound, where the field "UI Unique ID" is the sys_id being referenced in the error.

Steps to Troubleshoot:

1. Navigate to: sys_hub_pill_compound.list
2. Filter by:
   UI Unique ID = [enter the sys_id from the error message
3. This will return a list of pill compounds.
   In the "Pill Prescription" column, you'll see the sys_id and the name of the data pill.
   Go through your flow and remove any references to this data pill.
4. Try activating your flow again.

This issue seems to happen when a copied flow tries to reference a data pill from the original flow. Since the reference is no longer valid in the new context, it throws the error.

I have run into the same issue, removing and replacing the Get Catalog variables action didn't help. It's a shame I didn't noticed solutions from @danielanork Blessing3 and newmanan as they would have saved me a lot of time and I think they should be the accepted solutions. 

Anyway, how I found the exact step that had the corrupted data pill instead of going through every step was this: 

I opened the System Diagnostics -> Session Debug -> Debug Log and then run test on the flow again. 
In the logs I got the "Invalida pharmacy compound uuid" error again but before it you can actually see which step was the last that was created OK - in my case step 20 so then it was easy to go to step 21 and find the corrupted pill there. By replacing the corrupted data pill the issue was fixed.

I removed and disabled the "Error Handler" within sub flow, which resolved the issue. Added back "Error Handler", I was able to save and publish the sub flow successfully.

For me it was the "Send Email" steps.  For some reason I had to remove and re-add all the data pills from the email bodies - the pills in the TO and CC fields were fine.

I was clicking through all the steps in my flow and when I clicked on the email steps it gave me another error stating an issue with the email body.

Once I fixed all of the emails in my flow, I was able to publish without this error.  But try clicking each step to see if you get another error, it may tell you how to fix it.
