Issue

Users are unable to see the tasks under the 'My Workflow Tasks' menu after a workflow has been assigned to them for approval and the following errors related to elastic search and Kaleo instance token are observed in the logs:

java.lang.RuntimeException: org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchStatusException: ElasticsearchStatusException[Elasticsearch exception [type=search_phase_execution_exception, reason=all shards failed]]; nested: ElasticsearchException[Elasticsearch exception [type=illegal_argument_exception, reason=Fielddata is disabled on [completed_String_sortable] in [liferay-89005068585571-20240507173701].

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • Reindexing of the following Kaleo-related tasks might help to resolve the issue:

    1. Kaleo Instance (com.liferay.portal.workflow.kaleo.model.KaleoInstance)

    2. Kaleo Instance Token (com.liferay.portal.workflow.kaleo.model.KaleoInstanceToken)

    3. Kaleo Log (com.liferay.portal.workflow.kaleo.model.KaleoLog)

    4. Kaleo Task Instance Token (com.liferay.portal.workflow.kaleo.model.KaleoTaskInstanceToken)

  • However, if reindexing of the above does not help, a full re-indexing might narrow down the issue here.
