Workflow error on check-in action


Badge +1

Hello everyone,

 

I have an approval workflow that calls a second workflow to create a CSV file. The second workflow creates the file and checks it out. If the approval goes through succesfully, the approval workflow checks the file in. 

It seems to run smoothly most of the times, but, it appears randomly, every now and then the workflow pauses (does not suspend or terminate) with the following message:

 

"

Activity in progress. Retrying last request. Next attempt scheduled after 7/05/2020 12:24 PM. Details of last request: HTTP 423 to https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/_api/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl(@Url)/CheckIn(checkintype=@CheckInType)?%40Url=%27%2Fsites%2FEForms%2FExportedCSV%2FPR3000106.csv%27&%40CheckInType=%271%27 Correlation Id: 9e754946-60c8-a8ae-85d5-2fd9bacc9233 Instance Id: dc767ada-2f8b-4d9e-8769-5e2685bfaac0

 

The file "https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/filelocation.csv" is checked out for editing by i:0#.f|membership|MyAccount

"

The person that the file is checked out too is me, as owner of the workflow.

If i check the file in and click retry it gives me the opposite error:

The file "filename.csv" is not checked out.

"

If I stop the workflow and restart it, everything works fine, no problems at all.

 

Just for clarification, since the CSV workflow can take long, I have also a pause action that waits for that workflow to complete before trying to check in the file.

 

Does anyone has any idea of what could cause this issue?

 

Thank you
