  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WD394 - No version selected. Use most recent version (if active)? ?

    The SAP error message:

    WD394 No version selected. Use most recent version (if active)

    typically occurs in the context of Web Dynpro applications or component usage where a version of a Web Dynpro component or application is expected but not explicitly specified or found.


    Cause

    • No version of the Web Dynpro component or application was selected or specified during runtime.
    • The system expects a version to be selected, but none is provided.
    • This can happen if the Web Dynpro component or application has multiple versions, and the system cannot determine which version to use.
    • The error message suggests that the system is defaulting to the most recent active version, but the explicit version selection is missing or not handled properly.
    • It may also occur if the version management is enabled but no version is active or the version selection logic is missing in the code or configuration.

    When does it occur?

    • When launching or calling a Web Dynpro application/component that supports versioning.
    • When the version selection is mandatory but not done.
    • When the Web Dynpro component is configured to use version management but no version is selected or active.
    • During runtime when the system tries to resolve the component version to instantiate.

    Solution

    1. Check Version Management Settings:

      • Go to the Web Dynpro component or application in the SAP system.
      • Verify if version management is enabled.
      • Ensure that there is at least one active version available.
    2. Specify Version Explicitly:

      • If your application or code calls a Web Dynpro component, specify the version explicitly if possible.
      • In the Web Dynpro API or configuration, set the version parameter to the desired version.
    3. Use Most Recent Active Version:

      • If no version is specified, configure the system or code to use the most recent active version.
      • This can be done by setting the version parameter to * or by leaving it blank if the system defaults to the latest active version.
    4. Check Application Configuration:

      • In transaction SE80 or WDAS (Web Dynpro Application Server), check the application/component configuration.
      • Make sure the version selection is properly handled.
    5. Transport and Activation:

      • Sometimes, the error occurs if the version is not properly transported or activated.
      • Check if the version is active in the target system.
    6. Debugging:

      • If you have access to the source code, debug the point where the Web Dynpro component is instantiated.
      • Check how the version is selected or passed.
