  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_RUN010 - Workflow debugging active -> RFC destination '&1' was used ?

    The SAP error message SWF_RUN010 indicates that there is an issue related to the RFC (Remote Function Call) destination being used in a workflow. This message typically appears when debugging a workflow and indicates that the specified RFC destination is currently active or being utilized.

    Cause:

    1. Active RFC Destination: The error suggests that the workflow is trying to use an RFC destination that is currently active or has been set up incorrectly.
    2. Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the RFC destination in transaction SM59.
    3. Network Issues: There could be network connectivity problems between the SAP systems involved.
    4. Authorization Issues: The user executing the workflow may not have the necessary authorizations to use the specified RFC destination.

    Solution:

    1. Check RFC Destination:

      • Go to transaction SM59 and check the configuration of the RFC destination mentioned in the error message.
      • Ensure that the destination is correctly configured and that the connection is working. You can test the connection from SM59.
    2. Debugging Workflow:

      • If you are debugging a workflow, ensure that you are not in a state where the workflow is trying to execute an RFC call while you are debugging.
      • You may need to stop the debugging session and allow the workflow to complete its execution.
    3. Review Authorizations:

      • Check if the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the workflow and access the RFC destination.
