• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_FILTER002 - Program error: Call of Set_Objects / Init_Objects was not carried out ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WES_FILTER002 Program error: Call of Set_Objects / Init_Objects was not carried out
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in SAP Workflow or related applications where the program expects certain initialization routines to be executed before proceeding. Specifically, the error indicates that the methods or function calls Set_Objects or Init_Objects were not called as required.
  
  Set_Objects / Init_Objects are initialization methods responsible for setting up the necessary objects or context before the main processing logic runs.
  If these methods are skipped or not called due to a programming error, missing configuration, or incorrect sequence of calls, the program cannot proceed correctly, resulting in this error.
  This can happen in custom developments or standard SAP workflows where the object container or filter objects are not properly initialized.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During execution of a workflow step or a filter method in SAP Business Workflow.
  When a custom or standard workflow container filter expects certain objects to be initialized but they are missing.
  When a program or method that relies on these initialization calls is executed out of sequence.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Workflow or Program Logic:
  
  Ensure that the methods Set_Objects and/or Init_Objects are called before any processing that depends on them.
  These methods are usually responsible for initializing the workflow container or filter objects.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If this error occurs in custom developments, verify that the coding sequence includes calls to these initialization methods.
  For example, in a filter method, make sure the filter container is properly initialized by calling Set_Objects or Init_Objects.
  
  
  
  Standard SAP Workflow:
  
  If this happens in standard SAP workflows, check for OSS notes or patches related to the workflow template or task.
  Sometimes, SAP provides corrections or updates to workflow templates that fix such issues.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use the ABAP debugger to trace the program flow and confirm whether Set_Objects or Init_Objects are called.
  Identify where the call is missing and correct the sequence.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Container:
  
  Verify that the workflow container has the required objects and that they are correctly passed to the filter or method.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This error is related to SAP Business Workflow and the initialization of workflow container objects.
  It often appears in the context of container filters or workflow methods that require certain objects to be set before execution.
  SAP Notes or documentation on workflow container filters and initialization methods may provide additional guidance.
  Example SAP Note: Check for notes related to workflow container initialization or filter errors.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Details
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  Missing call to initialization methods Set_Objects or Init_Objects in workflow/filter.
  
  
  Effect
  Program cannot proceed due to uninitialized objects, causing the error message.
  
  
  Solution
  Ensure proper calling sequence of initialization methods; check custom code and workflow container.
