How To Fix SWF_XI_ADAPTER418 - Process type &1: Queue assignment does not match setting in repository

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SWF_XI_ADAPTER - XI BPM: Messages

• Message number: 418

• Message text: Process type &1: Queue assignment does not match setting in repository

What causes this issue?

You have selected a queue assignment with multiple queues; however,
there is a queue assignment in the process definition in the Repository
that is not compatible with this setting. Either a setting with one
queue is active, or a setting with a different variant for multiple
queues is active. Consequently, the selected setting is not suitable for
this process.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Check in the semantics of the process whether the process is suitable
for the selected queue assignment with multiple queues. This assessment
is important otherwise EOIO messages may not be processed in the correct
order, which may result in data loss.
If the process is suitable, change the setting in the Repository
accordingly. To do so, click in an empty part of the graphical editor
and change the property in the properties box. Once you have activated
the change, you can change the queue assignment in inbound processing.

This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Workflow or when using the SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI) for message processing.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by one of the following issues:
  
  Queue Configuration Mismatch: The queue assigned to the process type in the workflow does not match the queue defined in the Integration Repository.
  Incorrect Process Type Configuration: The process type may have been incorrectly configured, leading to a mismatch in the expected queue.
  Changes in Repository: If there have been recent changes in the Integration Repository (like renaming or deleting queues), it can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the process type was transported from one system to another, the queue settings may not have been correctly transported.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Queue Assignment:
  
  Go to the process type configuration in the SAP system.
  Verify the queue assigned to the process type and ensure it matches the queue defined in the Integration Repository.
  
  
  
  Update Process Type:
  
  If there is a mismatch, update the process type to reflect the correct queue settings as per the Integration Repository.
  
  
  
  Review Integration Repository:
  
  Access the Integration Repository and check the queue settings.
  Ensure that the queue exists and is correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Transport Consistency:
  
  If the process type was transported, ensure that all related objects (including queues) were also transported correctly.
  If necessary, re-transport the relevant objects to ensure consistency.
  
  
  
  Check for Recent Changes:
  
  If there have been recent changes to the process type or the queues, review those changes to identify any discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the process type to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SWDD (Workflow Builder) to check the process type and SXMB_MONI (Integration Engine Monitoring) to monitor message processing.
