• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_XI_ADM107 - Simulation only possible in delivery mode 'Without Buffering' ?

  The SAP error message SWF_XI_ADM107 indicates that a simulation of a workflow is only possible in delivery mode "Without Buffering." This error typically arises when you are trying to simulate a workflow in a mode that does not support it, such as when buffering is enabled.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the workflow simulation feature in SAP requires the delivery mode to be set to "Without Buffering." When buffering is enabled, the system cannot simulate the workflow as it would in a real execution scenario. This is a restriction in the workflow engine to ensure that the simulation reflects the actual behavior of the workflow without the complexities introduced by buffering.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to change the delivery mode of the workflow to "Without Buffering." Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Workflow Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SWDD (Workflow Builder) or SWFVISU (Workflow Visualization).
  
  
  
  Open the Workflow:
  
  Open the specific workflow that you are trying to simulate.
  
  
  
  Change Delivery Mode:
  
  In the workflow properties, look for the delivery mode settings.
  Change the delivery mode to "Without Buffering."
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  Save the changes to the workflow.
  
  
  
  Run Simulation:
  
  After changing the delivery mode, try running the simulation again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Workflow Buffering: Buffering in SAP workflows is used to improve performance by storing workflow instances in memory. However, it can complicate the simulation process, which is why the restriction exists.
  Testing Workflows: When testing workflows, it is often recommended to use "Without Buffering" mode to ensure that the simulation accurately reflects the workflow's behavior in a production environment.
  Documentation: For more detailed information, refer to the SAP Help Portal or the specific documentation related to SAP Business Workflow.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after making these changes, consider checking for any additional configuration settings or consulting with your SAP Basis or Workflow team for further assistance.
