Dear Community,

I am trying to share some results from a workchain, however there is a process that is appears to not be sealed.

Report: Validating Nodes  
Critical: failed to write the archive file. Exception: All ProcessNodes must be sealed before they can be exported. Node(s) with PK(s): 77956 is/are not sealed.

However this node is finished, but checking in verdi process list, the node appears as RUNNING , however the process is finished, and not reachable.

What should I do in this case? (any ideas you can suggest?)  
thank you!

Best  
Andres

If the node truely is finished, it is a bit weird that it is not sealed, and that would really be a bug. But it probably will be difficult to be able to reproduce it. You can try and seal it manually. Just open a verdi shell and run

```python
load_node(PK).seal()

```

Then try exporting again. Let me know if that works.
