Cause
This issue may occur when the Service Level Objective (SLO) has been configured to use a derived class. For example, assume that you create a new class that's based on the Service Request class and that's named SRNewClass. When you create a Service Level Objective, and then you select SRNewClass from the "Class" section on the General tab in the wizard, event ID 33601 is returned during the workflow process.
Resolution
When you create or configure the SLO, select the base class from which the new class is derived (for example, Service Request). In the "Queues" section of the Create Service Level Objective Wizard, select a specific queue where you want to route these custom class service requests.
More Information
For testing purposes, create a new service request by using the SRNewClass class, and then assign it to the queue that's specified in the SLO. The service level will be applied to this request because at its base, it is a service request. By using the queue and the Service Request Base class in the Service Level Objective, you allow the service level to be applied to any service request that's assigned to the specified queue.
