Task SLA not always going to stage "Completed" when Catalog Task state is set to Closed Completed

I need some help with an intermittent problem I am experiencing.

Background:

SLA Definition on the Catalog Task table which starts when a catalog task is created based on the priority of the task. The workflow attached to it was created using basic techniques that just triggers notifications to assignee and assignee's manager.

SLA Definition

Workflow

This all works 100% for Incident management and I've never had issue on that, only task sla

Problem:

Happens 1/8 times. The Task SLAs stage is not changing to Completed. It stays In Progress although the Task state is Closed Completed. Like I said it doesnt happen for every task and task sla. Just here and there. Where should i start looking. No scripting was used just conditions like the supplied OODB Incident SLA Definitions and workflow.

The task state:

The SLA stage:

Most of the time the task state Closed Complete changes the Task SLA Stage to Completed but not always. And then my workflow continues to run causing the support staff to receive SLA notification emails causing massive confusing since the tasks are no longer assigned to them.

When changing state back to Active and then back to Closed Completed on the Catalog Task it changes the SLA Task state to completed.

I really need some advise. Thanks

The issue is finally resolved in Jakarta Patch 6.



We have not made any changes to our SLA Definitions or Workflow but after upgrading from Istanbul to Jakarta this issue is resolved. Hopefully it was due to us logging the issue with Servicenow HI although the agent could not assist in fixing it at that time, I suspect it was sent to development for investigation. Took almost 2 years to finally be corrected but thank goodness it is now.

Hi Johannes,



What is the stop condition defined for this SLA?



Thanks and regards,

Thanks for the quick reply!


Here is the stop conditions(like I say it works but not for every task and also cant find a link between those that didn't work that is a common denominator):

That sounds odd. As per your configuration it should work, please look at reset or conditions again which is making SLA to run eventhough state was changed to "Closed complete".



Thanks and regards,

Indeed it is very odd. There are no "Or" conditions and I haven't specified any reset conditions so it's still blank.
Currently on Helsinki Patch 5. It seems like a bug and not a configuration issue but not 100% sure.
