• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WD093 - Workflow & was loaded in scenario editor. Please use SWDD. ?

  The SAP error message:
  WD093: Workflow & was loaded in scenario editor. Please use SWDD.
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs when you try to edit or display a workflow using the Web Dynpro Workflow Builder or another tool that is not intended for workflow editing. The workflow you are trying to access was loaded in the Scenario Editor (which is used for Web Dynpro scenarios), but workflows should be edited using the SAP Business Workflow Builder transaction.
  In other words, the system is informing you that the workflow object you are trying to work with is a classic SAP Business Workflow and must be handled with the workflow editor SWDD, not the Web Dynpro scenario editor.
  
  Explanation:
  
  WD093 is a message from the Web Dynpro environment indicating that the workflow you are trying to open is a classic workflow.
  The Scenario Editor is used for Web Dynpro scenarios, not for workflows.
  The Workflow Builder (transaction SWDD) is the correct tool to create, edit, or display workflows.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Use transaction SWDD to open, edit, or display the workflow.
  Do not use the Web Dynpro Scenario Editor or any other tool that is not designed for workflows.
  If you are in a Web Dynpro environment and want to integrate workflows, you should call the workflow from your Web Dynpro application but maintain the workflow definition in SWDD.
  
  
  How to proceed:
  
  Go to SAP GUI.
  Enter transaction code SWDD.
  Enter the workflow name or ID.
  Edit or display the workflow as needed.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  SWDD is the standard SAP Business Workflow Builder.
  Workflows are defined and maintained in SWDD.
  Web Dynpro applications can trigger workflows but do not edit them.
  If you are developing a Web Dynpro application and want to integrate workflows, you should design the workflow in SWDD and then call it from your Web Dynpro application using appropriate APIs or function modules.
