Last updated on SEPTEMBER 27, 2021

Applies to:

Siebel CRM - Version 19.10 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

When a SIF file of a previous workflow version is imported(using the Overwrite option) from Source to Target, such that there are some new steps that exists only in the current workflow version on Target, those steps are inactivated as expected in Target (as the Target workflow definition should be replaced by the imported workflow definition) but the child branches and respective connectors under those inactive steps are still active.

When the workflow on Target is executed, it throws the error:

SBL-BPR-00185: Step '<?>' references invalid next step id '<?>' in process definition '<?>'.

1. Login into Siebel Tools.
