Hi,
I've created a simple AuthZ WF with a 3 stage approval activity.
1) Person's Manager approvers the request
2) Person's Department Manager approves the request
3) Group Owner approves the request
The MPR gets triggered which fires the WF, and the Person's manager gets an approval request. The strange this is that when the manager approves, the request just gets "lost" - it never reaches the Department Manager (I've verified the Department Manager and Group Owners are both populated correctly)
I changed this activity to use a 2 step process, and swapped the order as well, but only the first approval stage ever gets fired and then the request is lost. There are no errors generated anywhere, and the second approver just never gets the approval request.
Any suggestions why this might be?
UPDATE
--------
I compared the request order from a working environment with the one I'm experiencing issues with. In the working environment, after the first approver approves the request, 2 requests are generated, both titled "Updated to Approval <group name> request". First one adds a value to the Approval Response attribute (a reference value of the request), and the second one sets the Approval Status attribute to Approved.
In the broken environment, I'm not getting the second request generated (i.e. the one which sets the Approval Status to Approved). I'm guessing since FIM doesn't think the request has been fully approved, it doesn't present it to the next approver.
Still, I have no clue why the second request is not being generated. No errors in the event logs either :(
UPDATE 2

Some warnings in the event viewer regarding unable to resolve assemblies - a possible hint but I don't know how to proceed on this
