We are testing a work flow in our new enviornment and received an error. We got the error when the flow is attempting to send an email to a task defined in Process flow. The task is defined, users are assigned to the task and the users have email addresses defined in lawson security. Here is what we saw in workunit log file:

ErrorLog in Process : timsftepa_V08 Workunit : 244171, ActivityType=EMAIL, ActivityName=Email2200, ActivityId=EMAIL2729 Date:05/03/2012 Time:10:08:24.250
Error while executing Email activity - 'To' email address not given.

Has anyone seen this type error before? We opened a lawson case but not resolved yet. Any advice will be very appreciated. Thanks.

I had the same problem, Lawson directed me to these KB's to change a websphere setting.
"KB articles 5434581 and 5323168 address permission issues that relate to the errors you are receiving from ProcessFlow."

Please let us know if this resolves the issue. Also, you didn't mention,
but have you checked to make sure that the Workflow flag is set to '1' in
LS Admin for the users and that they have a valid value for ISOLocale (e.g.
"en_us")??

I have changed umask to 000 and updated the permission for all log files at that directory but not lase*.lck files before. Now following the article mentioned in your post, I updated permissions for all lck files and it worked! Though I couldn't explain why the other environments work with the same permission that didn't work for this environment. But anyway, it works now and thank you very much for your reply!!
