• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_EVT105 - Error occurred inserting data ?

  The SAP error message SWF_EVT105, which states "Error occurred inserting data," typically occurs in the context of workflow management within SAP systems. This error can arise due to various reasons, often related to issues with data consistency, database constraints, or configuration problems.
  Causes:
  
  
  Database Constraints: The error may occur if there are violations of database constraints, such as primary key or foreign key constraints. This can happen if the data being inserted does not meet the required conditions.
  
  
  Data Format Issues: If the data being inserted does not conform to the expected format or data type, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Missing Required Fields: If mandatory fields are not populated in the data being inserted, the system may throw this error.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations for the user or the process trying to insert the data can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Workflow Configuration Issues: Misconfigurations in the workflow settings or incorrect workflow definitions can lead to data insertion failures.
  
  
  Database Locking: If the database table is locked by another transaction, it may prevent the insertion of new data.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Database Constraints: Review the database schema to ensure that the data being inserted adheres to all constraints. Make sure that primary and foreign keys are correctly set.
  
  
  Validate Data Formats: Ensure that the data being inserted matches the expected formats and data types defined in the database.
  
  
  Populate Required Fields: Verify that all mandatory fields are filled with valid data before attempting to insert.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Check the user roles and authorizations to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to perform the insertion.
  
  
  Examine Workflow Configuration: Review the workflow configuration and definitions to ensure they are set up correctly. Look for any inconsistencies or errors in the workflow logic.
  
  
  Check for Database Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the database tables that might be preventing the insertion. If locks are found, resolve them appropriately.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using transaction codes like SWI1 (Workflow Log) or SWI2_FREQ (Workflow Runtime Analysis) to analyze the workflow execution and identify the root cause of the error.
