SWF_EXP_001184 - Details

• The SAP error message SWF_EXP_001184 indicates that there is an issue with the way parameters are being passed in a workflow or a related process. Specifically, it states that "Parameter values must be specified as constants." This typically occurs when a workflow is expecting a constant value for a parameter, but a variable or an expression is being provided instead.
  
  Cause:
  
  Dynamic Values: The workflow is trying to use a dynamic value (like a variable or an expression) where a constant value is required.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the workflow or the task may not be set up correctly, leading to the expectation of a constant value.
  Parameter Definition: The parameters defined in the workflow might be incorrectly set to accept only constants, but the implementation is trying to pass a variable.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Parameter Definitions: Review the workflow definition and ensure that the parameters that are expected to be constants are indeed being passed
