DSR workflow automation broken error task assignment rule fails new reque

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in DSR workflow automation by doing this first: fix the assignment rule condition that evaluates to no team, add a default owner queue as the fallback for any unmatched request, and reassign every currently unowned request. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

task assignment rule fails and new request unowned

Use this when

• The operation fails with this exact problem: task assignment rule fails and new request unowned.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• An audit, review, or request is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a platform outage notice or a general sign-in failure. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in DSR workflow automation, and copy the full message plus the item, account, or request involved into the run notes. Verify: the problem is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in an old log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: fix the assignment rule condition that evaluates to no team, add a default owner queue as the fallback for any unmatched request, and reassign every currently unowned request. Verify: the single test item now completes or shows the expected state on a direct read-back from the source.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same connection, mapping, owner, or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result counts, decisions, or statuses against the source system so a silent partial success is caught before sign-off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input, and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied, and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

The rule matches on a field that is blank or renamed for new requests, so it assigns nothing and the request sits unowned until a human notices.

TL;DR

Fix this in the agent loop guard for DSR fulfilment by doing this first: add an attempt cap and a seen-state check to the DSR fulfilment job so the same input cannot be processed twice in one run, back off between retries, and surface the blocked item for a human decision after the cap instead of looping. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

agent loop detected with repeating the same DSR fulfilment task

Use this when

• The operation fails with this exact problem: agent loop detected with repeating the same DSR fulfilment task.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• An audit, review, or request is blocked until this item completes.

Why it happens

Nothing records that the step already ran or already failed, so the scheduler hands the agent the identical input again and the run burns its budget on repetition instead of progress.

TL;DR

Fix this in DSR agent by acting on the exact problem first: reassign the task to the current system owner through the role queue, notify the new owner with the request deadline attached, and record the reassignment so the waiting time is explained on the request. Do not rerun the whole job or request unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one request, system or batch first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

agent stuck waiting for system owner approval - task unassigned after reorg

Use this when

• The operation in DSR agent fails with this exact message or symptom: agent stuck waiting for system owner approval - task unassigned after reorg.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A privacy request, export, deletion or deadline is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is an outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with a legal interpretation or a policy choice. That is a privacy team decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in DSR agent, and copy the full message plus the request, system or record involved into the run notes. Verify: the problem is reproduced on demand with a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: reassign the task to the current system owner through the role queue, notify the new owner with the request deadline attached, and record the reassignment so the waiting time is explained on the request. Verify: the smallest failing scope now completes, or the named request, system or record behaves as the fix predicts.
3. Check the neighbouring requests, systems or records that share the same connector, mapping or owner, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in DSR agent on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
5. Compare the result counts or status against the source in DSR agent so a silent partial success is caught before the request is closed. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the request so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

Approval tasks addressed to a role that a reorganisation emptied wait indefinitely, because no individual ever sees a task that the system thinks is assigned.

Edge cases

• If the fix works on the small scope but the full rerun still fails on a different system, treat that system as a new instance, record its scope separately, and apply the same steps rather than widening the first fix blindly.
• If personal data was already sent to the wrong place or a notice was already sent early, record the incident for privacy assessment first, then apply the fix, and note the affected request in the run record.
• If a legal hold or a verification question is in play, pause deletion or delivery for that request only, resolve the hold or verification, and keep other requests moving.
