  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WD066 - Step '&' beyond all (local) Workflows -> No activation ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WD066 Step '&' beyond all (local) Workflows -> No activation


    Cause:

    This error typically occurs in the context of Web Dynpro ABAP applications that use local workflows. The message indicates that a particular step (denoted by '&' which is a placeholder for the step name or number) is referenced or called, but it lies beyond the defined steps of the local workflow. In other words, the workflow step being executed or activated does not exist or is not properly defined in the local workflow configuration.

    Common causes include:

    • The local workflow is not activated or incomplete.
    • The step number or name referenced in the code or configuration is incorrect or out of range.
    • The workflow metadata or definition is corrupted or inconsistent.
    • The workflow has been changed but not reactivated.
    • There is a mismatch between the workflow steps defined and the steps being called programmatically.

    Solution:

    1. Check Workflow Activation:

      • Go to the Web Dynpro component or the workflow definition.
      • Ensure that the local workflow is fully defined and activated.
      • Reactivate the workflow to ensure all changes are saved and active.
    2. Verify Step References:

      • Check the code or configuration where the step is being called.
      • Confirm that the step number or name exists in the workflow definition.
      • Correct any typos or incorrect step references.
    3. Rebuild or Regenerate Workflow:

      • Sometimes, regenerating the workflow metadata or recompiling the Web Dynpro component helps.
      • Use transaction SE80 or the Web Dynpro tools to regenerate the component.
    4. Check for Transport or Version Issues:

      • If the workflow was transported from another system, ensure that all related objects are transported and activated.
      • Check for version inconsistencies.
    5. Debugging:

      • Use the debugger to trace where the step is being called.
      • Identify the exact step causing the issue.
    6. SAP Notes and Support:

      • Search for SAP Notes related to message WD066 for any known bugs or patches.
      • Example SAP Note: Sometimes SAP releases notes for workflow or Web Dynpro related issues.

    Related Information:

    • Message Class: WD (Web Dynpro)
    • Context: Local workflows in Web Dynpro ABAP applications.
    • Transaction Codes: SE80 (Object Navigator), SWDD (Workflow Builder)
    • Tools: Web Dynpro Explorer, Workflow Builder
    • SAP Documentation: Look for Web Dynpro ABAP local workflows and step activation.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error Step '&' beyond all (local) Workflows -> No activation
    Cause Step referenced does not exist or workflow not activated properly
    Solution Activate workflow, verify step references, regenerate workflow, check transports
    Tools SE80, SWDD, Web Dynpro Explorer
    Notes Check SAP Notes for WD066 or workflow activation issues
