  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_CCMS129 - Function module '&1' does not exist. Check method definition '&2' ?

    The SAP error message SWF_CCMS129 indicates that a function module referenced in a workflow method does not exist. This can occur in SAP Business Workflow when the system is trying to execute a method that is defined in a workflow but cannot find the corresponding function module.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Function Module: The function module specified in the error message (&1) does not exist in the SAP system. This could be due to it being deleted, not transported correctly, or simply not created.
    2. Incorrect Method Definition: The method definition (&2) in the workflow might be pointing to a function module that is incorrectly specified or has been changed.
    3. Transport Issues: If the workflow was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the function module may not have been included in the transport request.
    4. Namespace Issues: If the function module is in a different namespace or package that is not accessible in the current context.

    Solution:

    1. Check Function Module: Verify if the function module exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction SE37 (Function Builder) and entering the name of the function module to see if it is available.
    2. Review Method Definition: Go to transaction SWO1 (Business Object Builder) or SWDD (Workflow Builder) and check the method definition for the workflow. Ensure that it correctly points to an existing function module.
    3. Create or Restore Function Module: If the function module does not exist, you may need to create it or restore it from a backup or transport request.
    4. Transport Check: If the function module was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure it was included and successfully imported into the target system.
    5. Namespace Verification: Ensure that the function module is in the correct namespace and that there are no authorization issues preventing access to it.
