Sequencer job actvy parameters missing after successful run

Hi,

We are facing a peculiar problem with sequencers. The issue is that for some job activities the parameters go missing even after a successful run of the sequencer. The sequencer goes into Uncompiled state. Is this a bug in 8.0.



Thanks,
Prasanna
