Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_REP_BASE007 - Workflow &2 (&1) is not a conditional workflow, it cannot be restarted ?

  The SAP error message SWF_REP_BASE007 indicates that you are trying to restart a workflow that is not a conditional workflow. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Workflow when you attempt to restart a workflow instance that does not support the restart operation.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Conditional Workflow: The workflow you are trying to restart is not defined as a conditional workflow. Conditional workflows are designed to be restarted based on certain conditions, while non-conditional workflows do not have this capability.
  Workflow Status: The workflow instance may be in a status that does not allow for a restart, such as completed or terminated.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the workflow definition that prevent it from being restarted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Workflow Type: Verify if the workflow you are trying to restart is indeed a conditional workflow. You can do this by checking the workflow definition in the SAP Workflow Builder (transaction SWDD).
  Review Workflow Status: Check the status of the workflow instance. If it is completed or terminated, you may need to create a new instance of the workflow instead of trying to restart it.
  Modify Workflow Definition: If you need the workflow to be restartable, consider modifying the workflow definition to include conditional logic that allows for restarts. This may involve adding conditions or changing the workflow structure.
  Use Alternative Actions: If restarting is not possible, consider using alternative actions such as creating a new workflow instance or manually handling the tasks that were part of the original workflow.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SWI1 (Work Item Selection) to view the work items associated with the workflow and SWDD (Workflow Builder) to modify the workflow definition.
  Workflow Logs: Check the workflow logs for more detailed information about the workflow instance and its status. This can provide insights into why the restart is not allowed.
  SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to workflow restarts. SAP Notes can provide patches or additional guidance on handling specific errors.
