First error: Process failed. First exception on row 0; first error: INVALID_OPERATION, Illegal transition type: []

Approving a record through APEX error

Searched return no relevant results to the issue I encountered. I encountered this when writing a schedulable class and thought it was due to SF restriction inside the limited context of the scheduler; so posting this in hopes it saves others some frustration and time.

The solution

Check the spelling when specifying the action (see Docs here). In my case I had Approved instead of Approve, allowed options are Approve, Removed, and Reject. 

...
Approval.ProcessWorkitemRequest oPWR = new Approval.ProcessWorkitemRequest(); 
oPWR.setComments('Auto approved through JobId: \'' + oBatchableContext.getJobId() + '\'');

oPWR.setAction('Approve'); // allowed choices are 'Approve`, `Removed`, `Reject`.

oPWR.setWorkItemId(oWorkItemCurrent.ID);
Approval.ProcessResult oPR = Approval.process(oPWR);
...

Softeher 'Error occurred. (Error code: 2)' sollution

Protocol error occurred. Error was returned from the destination server. The Softether server by default to run on port 443 , if you server also hosts normal https then 443 is already taken and so Softether can't bind to it. When you run `vpncmd` it attempts to connect, find an active port, but of course fails with 'Protocol error occurred. Error was returned from the destination server.' because it's not actually connecting to the vpn server. By default Softether also listens on 992 , 1194 , and 5555 so the sollution is to modify specify `localhost:5555` when executing the `vpncmnd`. If this has helped you feel free to comment or follow me on twitter @danielsokolows .
