  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_HTTP025 - Container does not contain mandatory import parameter '&1' ?

    The SAP error message SWF_HTTP025 indicates that a container does not contain a mandatory import parameter that is required for the workflow to execute properly. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Workflow when a workflow instance is trying to access a parameter that has not been provided or initialized.

    Cause:

    The error is caused by one of the following reasons:

    1. Missing Parameter: The workflow is expecting a specific import parameter (denoted as &1 in the error message) that has not been passed to it when the workflow was started.
    2. Incorrect Workflow Configuration: The workflow definition may have been incorrectly configured, leading to the requirement of a parameter that is not being supplied.
    3. Data Transfer Issues: There may be issues in the data transfer from the calling program or transaction to the workflow, resulting in the parameter not being populated.

    Solution:

    To resolve the SWF_HTTP025 error, you can take the following steps:

    1. Check Workflow Definition:

    3. Debugging:

      • If you have access to the workflow instance, you can use transaction SWI1 to analyze the workflow instance and see what parameters were passed.
      • Use transaction SWI2_FREQ to check for any workflow instances that are in error status and analyze their details.
    4. Modify Calling Program:

      • If the workflow is being triggered from a custom program or transaction, ensure that the program is correctly populating and passing all mandatory parameters to the workflow.
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • Review the documentation for the specific workflow to understand the required parameters and their expected values.
    6. Testing:

      • After making changes, test the workflow by triggering it again to ensure that the error is resolved.
