    The SAP error message SWF_UTL_002200 indicates that a parameter specified in a workflow is not defined. 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 properly defined or initialized.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Parameter Definition: The parameter that the workflow is trying to access has not been defined in the workflow definition or in the relevant task.
    2. Incorrect Parameter Name: There may be a typo or incorrect naming in the workflow definition or in the task that references the parameter.
    3. Changes in Workflow: If the workflow was modified (e.g., parameters were added or removed) but the instances were not updated accordingly, this error can occur.
