• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CX_WDK_CONTROLLER115 - COMMIT WORK statement is only allowed in confirmation state ?

  The SAP error message CX_WDK_CONTROLLER115 indicates that a COMMIT WORK statement is being executed in a context where it is not allowed, specifically outside of a confirmation state. This error typically arises in the context of Web Dynpro applications or when using the Web Dynpro Controller framework.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect State Management: The error usually occurs when the application is trying to commit changes to the database while it is not in the correct state (confirmation state). This can happen if the application logic does not properly manage the lifecycle of the Web Dynpro component or if it attempts to commit changes prematurely.
  Improper Use of COMMIT WORK: The COMMIT WORK statement is meant to finalize changes made during a transaction. If it is called in a context where the transaction is not ready to be committed (e.g., during an event that does not allow for committing), this error will be raised.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check State Management: Ensure that the application is in the correct state before calling COMMIT WORK. This typically means ensuring that the user has completed all necessary input and that the application is ready to finalize the transaction.
  Use of Confirmation State: Make sure that the COMMIT WORK statement is only called in the appropriate event handlers, such as after a user confirms an action (e.g., clicking a "Save" button).
  Review Event Handling: Look at the event handling logic in your Web Dynpro application. Ensure that the logic flows correctly from user input to confirmation and that the commit is only called after all validations and necessary checks are completed.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the execution flow of your application. This can help identify where the state management is failing and why the COMMIT WORK is being called at an inappropriate time.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Web Dynpro Lifecycle: Familiarize yourself with the lifecycle of Web Dynpro applications, including the different states (initialization, input, confirmation, etc.) and when certain actions (like committing data) are allowed.
  Transaction Management: Understand how transaction management works in SAP, especially in the context of Web Dynpro and ABAP programming.
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to this error message. The SAP Help Portal may also provide insights into best practices for managing transactions in Web Dynpro applications.
  
  By ensuring that your application correctly manages its state and only calls COMMIT WORK when appropriate, you should be able to resolve the CX_WDK_CONTROLLER115 error.
