• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WD190 - Edge added: Save workflow under new version ?

  The SAP error message WD190 Edge added: Save workflow under new version typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow Builder or Web Dynpro Workflow development. Here's a detailed explanation of the cause, solution, and related information:
  
  Cause
  
  The message WD190 Edge added: Save workflow under new version is an informational or warning message that appears when you add or modify an edge (a connection between two nodes) in a workflow definition.
  SAP Workflow Builder enforces version management for workflows. When you make changes to a workflow (such as adding an edge), the system requires you to save the workflow as a new version.
  This message indicates that the system has detected a change that requires saving the workflow under a new version to maintain version integrity and avoid overwriting existing active workflows.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Save the workflow as a new version:
  
  After making changes (like adding edges), you need to explicitly save the workflow under a new version number. This is done to ensure that the active workflows running in the system are not affected by your changes until you activate the new version.
  
  
  Steps to save under a new version:
  
  In the Workflow Builder, after making your changes, choose Save As New Version instead of just Save.
  Assign a new version number or accept the system-generated one.
  Activate the new version if you want it to be used in the system.
  
  
  
  Check for consistency:
  
  After saving the new version, run the consistency check to ensure that the workflow is valid and all nodes and edges are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Related Information
  
  
  Workflow Versioning:
  
  SAP workflows are versioned to allow multiple versions to coexist. This helps in maintaining running instances on older versions while new versions are developed and tested.
  
  
  Impact on Running Workflows:
  
  Changes saved under a new version do not affect running workflow instances that were started with an older version.
  
  
  Transporting Workflows:
  
  When transporting workflows between systems (e.g., from development to production), ensure that the correct version is transported and activated.
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  For more detailed information, you can refer to SAP Help Portal documentation on Workflow Builder and version management, or check relevant SAP Notes if you encounter issues related to workflow versioning.
  
  
  
  Summary
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Description
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  Adding/modifying edges in a workflow requires saving under a new version to maintain integrity.
  
  
  Solution
  Save the workflow as a new version and activate it if needed.
  
  
  Related Info
  Workflow versioning allows coexistence of multiple versions; running instances use old versions.
