Hi,
I have a workflow that creates cases from emails. I also have a simple SLA that is associated to the cases.
Recently I have noticed a large number of the case creation jobs failing with an error like this:
Plugin Trace:
[Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Workflow: Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Workflow.Activities.CreateEntity]

Entering ConditionStep5_step: Check condition step - Applicable When- KPI1
Entering ConditionStep7_step:
Entering ConditionStep9_step:
Sync workflow 'Case Follow Up' terminated with error 'PopulateBusinessClosureRequests Failed'
Error Message:
Unhandled Exception: Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.InvalidPluginExecutionException: PopulateBusinessClosureRequests Failed
We do have working hours that is linked to a holiday schedule.
I cant seem to find a cause for the "PopulateBusinessClosureRequests" failure.
This is CRM 2016 U0.1 on-prem
