• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_EVT001 - Event & of object type & is not public ?

  The SAP error message SWF_EVT001 indicates that an event of a specific object type is not public. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Workflow when trying to trigger an event that is not accessible due to its visibility settings.
  Cause:
  
  Event Visibility: The event you are trying to trigger is defined as a private event in the workflow definition. Private events can only be triggered within the same workflow or by specific authorized users.
  Object Type Configuration: The object type associated with the event may not be configured correctly, or the event itself may not be marked as public in the object type definition.
  Authorization Issues: The user or process trying to trigger the event may not have the necessary authorizations to access the event.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Event Definition:
  
  Go to the transaction code SWO1 (Business Object Builder).
  Find the object type associated with the event.
  Check the event's properties and ensure that it is marked as public.
  
  
  
  Modify Event Visibility:
  
  If the event is private and needs to be public, you may need to change its visibility in the object type definition.
  Make sure to transport any changes to the relevant systems if you are working in a development environment.
  
  
  
  Review Workflow Configuration:
  
  Check the workflow definition in transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder) to ensure that the event is correctly defined and linked to the appropriate workflow.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user or process triggering the event has the necessary authorizations. You can check this in transaction SU53 after the error occurs to see if there are any authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the workflow to ensure that the event can now be triggered without errors.
