Common Errors

I have updated the agent assignment, but the agents still don't receive the work items.  How do resolve this?

Solution

The organization buffers must be refreshed. This occurs daily at midnight by default - and you can't change that time.

Transaction SWU_OBUF lets you refresh the buffers immediately.

Also, check and make sure that the agents you have assigned are possible agents of the task. 
 

Why am I getting the error 'No Administrator found'?

Solution

This is another symptom of the organizational buffers being out of sync. 

Basically you have made an organizational change that is incompatible with the previous state. When executing the work item it gets confused with the old (buffered) and new org data. As above, SWU_OBUF should reset all buffers.
