  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WD235 - Terminating events of task '&' not maintained fully ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WD235 - Terminating events of task '&' not maintained fully


    Cause:

    This error occurs in the Web Dynpro ABAP environment when the terminating events of a task are not completely maintained. In Web Dynpro, a task groups a set of windows and views, and each task can have terminating events that define possible navigation outcomes or end points of the task.

    If these terminating events are not fully defined or maintained in the task configuration, the system raises this error. Essentially, the task expects certain terminating events to be specified, but they are missing or incomplete.


    Explanation:

    • Terminating events are events that signal the end of a task's processing flow.
    • Each task must have all its terminating events properly maintained to ensure correct navigation and lifecycle management.
    • If any terminating event is missing or not linked properly, the Web Dynpro runtime cannot determine how to proceed, leading to this error.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Task Configuration:

      • Go to the Web Dynpro component in the SAP development environment (SE80).
      • Navigate to the Task node under the component controller.
      • Open the task that is causing the error.
    2. Maintain Terminating Events:

      • Verify that all terminating events expected by the task are defined.
      • If any terminating event is missing, add it.
      • Ensure that each terminating event is linked to a valid navigation outcome or action.
    3. Check Event Handlers:

      • Make sure that the event handlers for the terminating events are implemented correctly.
      • Confirm that the events are triggered properly in the code or UI flow.
    4. Activate and Test:

      • After maintaining the terminating events, activate the component.
      • Test the Web Dynpro application to confirm that the error no longer occurs.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction SE80: Used to maintain Web Dynpro components, including tasks and their events.
    • Web Dynpro Task: A container for windows and views, managing navigation and lifecycle.
    • Terminating Events: Events that end the task's processing and usually trigger navigation or cleanup.
    • SAP Help Portal and Web Dynpro documentation provide detailed guidance on task and event management.

    Summary:

    • Cause: Missing or incomplete terminating events in a Web Dynpro task.
    • Solution: Maintain all terminating events in the task configuration within the Web Dynpro component.
    • Check: Task definition, event handlers, and navigation outcomes.

    If you need step-by-step guidance on how to maintain terminating events in SE80 or further troubleshooting, feel free to ask!
