Hello,
I have built a new process model. It is using 4 steps each using UPES to execute.I could execute the first step. After the first step, I am unable to find the instance/work item in workflow (out of box client). Is there something wrong?

If you are unable to see the workitem, that is normal. MQWF doesnot create workitems for automatic UPES activities anymore.
You have to see the process instance though, assuming you set the "Keep Finished Process Instances" to something other than "never".

I found the problem. The upes handler framework (supplied by our vendor) was resetting the output container values. ( We were supplied a fix and it was yet to be implemented). My transition condition to the next activity is not a default but checks for a "specific container value" which is getting overlaid by the message handler. Thus in the absence of transition condition workflow is throwing an error in "/var/fmc/cfgs/FMC1/log/fmcsys.log" saying that the transition condition is not set. But the instance and the work item can not be found.This is where I am getting confused.

Also what do you mean by
Code:
set the "Keep Finished Process Instances" to something other , than "never".
. Sorry I could not understand could you please let me know if it is an option which I have to set?
Thanks

I belive this is what is happening for you:

The transition condition is not set, which implies the Transition condition is false and so your process instance is finishing. You need to specify a doman level property called "Keep Finished Process times" to something other than "never", which can be found at Domain->Properties-> Process Times and restart the workflow server.

About Workitems: Workitems are not generated for Automatic activities.
