Path Details and Criteria:

Step Details and Criteria:

Assign the LEVEL 1 Role to WENDYCHO, the LEVEL2 Role to CHRISBAKER and the LEVEL3 Role to PATRICKSANCHEZ. Set WENDYCHO to be the Supervisor for CHRISBAKER, CHRISBAKER to be the Supervisor for WENDYCHO and PATRICKSANCHEZ to be the Supervisor for CHRISBAKER.

10) Login as VP 1 and create and Save 2 new ePro Requisitions that require the Workflow approval for Business Unit ‘US 100’

Attempt to call abstract method/property OnError of object class PS_PT:Integration:INotificationHandler(180,845)

This error, although not at all obvious, seems to be caused by either the absence of the EMP_SERVLET URL value being defined or it being defined incorrectly…

Therefore, make sure via: PeopleTools -> Utilities -> Administration -> URL’s that the EMP_SERVLET value has been defined properly, something similar to below:

With this change in place, the previously errored Messages can be resubmitted via the Integration Broker Message Monitor and they should then go through to success and update the ePro Requisitions successfully:
