  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_FLEX_ENGINE019 - Activity has wrong scenario version ?

    The SAP error message SWF_FLEX_ENGINE019 indicates that there is a mismatch between the version of the scenario that is currently being used and the version that is expected by the workflow engine. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Workflow or SAP Business Process Management (BPM) when there are changes made to the workflow scenario or when the workflow instance is trying to execute with an outdated version of the scenario.

    Cause:

    1. Version Mismatch: The workflow instance is trying to execute a scenario that has been modified or updated, but the instance is still referencing an older version of that scenario.
    2. Transport Issues: If the scenario was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the transport might not have included the latest version of the scenario.
    3. Manual Changes: Manual changes to the workflow scenario in the development environment that were not properly reflected in the production environment.

    Solution:

    1. Check Scenario Version: Verify the version of the scenario that the workflow instance is trying to execute. You can do this by checking the workflow definition in the SAP system.
    2. Activate the Latest Version: If there is a newer version of the scenario, ensure that it is activated. You can do this in the workflow administration tools.
    3. Recreate Workflow Instances: If the workflow instances are stuck due to the version mismatch, you may need to recreate them or restart the workflow process to ensure they reference the correct version.
    4. Transport the Latest Version: If the scenario was modified in a development environment, ensure that the latest version is transported to the production environment correctly.
    5. Check Workflow Logs: Review the workflow logs for additional details on the error and to identify any specific instances that are causing the issue.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SWI1 (Work Item Selection) and SWI2_FREQ (Work Item Analysis) to analyze and manage workflow instances.
    • Workflow Administration: Use transaction SWF_ADMIN to manage and monitor workflows and scenarios.
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Business Workflow or BPM for detailed guidance on managing scenarios and troubleshooting errors.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or Workflow team for further investigation, as they may have access to additional tools and logs that can help diagnose the problem.
