Error while activating BPF: “Invalid Business Process.”

Problem: Today I was not able to activate a business process flow. I got a business process error:

Unhandled Exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[[Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault, Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35]]: System.Web.HttpUnhandledException: Microsoft Dynamics CRM has experienced an error.

Solution: After some research I found the problem. There was a related Process which was in draft modus. After activating the process I was able to activate the BPF.
