SWF_RUN609 - Details

  • Error Code: SWF_RUN609

    Error Message: Execution will continue in background (destination: &1, type: &2)


    Summary

    This message indicates that the workflow execution is being continued asynchronously in the background system or server specified by the destination and type parameters. It is an informational message rather than a critical error, signaling that the workflow step will not run immediately in the foreground but will be processed later in the background.


    Root Causes

    • Workflow tasks or steps are configured to run asynchronously to improve system performance and avoid user wait times.
    • System load balancing or distributed system landscape where workflow processing is delegated to a background server or external system.
    • User or workflow configuration explicitly triggers background processing for long-running or resource-intensive workflow steps.
    • Network or RFC destination settings that route workflow execution to a remote system or background process.
