    Cause

    • Internal inconsistency or corruption in the workflow runtime environment.
    • Problems in the workflow container or data passed between workflow steps.
    • Issues with workflow task definitions or event linkage.
    • Missing or incorrect workflow objects or attributes.
    • System inconsistencies such as database inconsistencies or missing entries in workflow tables.
    • Sometimes caused by custom workflow code or user exits that raise unexpected exceptions.
