    end on 12/3/2005 7:32:10 PM

Cause

The error is caused by the Microsoft SharePoint API failed to retrieve the property information about a document based on the document URL.

This is normally caused by the document library or the document itself does not exist. Usually happens in a testing environment that some libraries or documents are removed while the process instances are still running.

Resolution

Check in the AgilePoint Enterprise Manager to see if there are tasks assigned to the specific user and whether the documents associated with the tasks exist. If not, remove the tasks or process instances should resolve the issue.
