  SAP Error Message:
  WES_FILTER005 Internal warning: Call of SET_OBJECTS to INIT_OBJECTS overwrites data
  
  Cause
  This warning message typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or Business Event Services (WES) when there is an internal inconsistency or improper handling of object references during the initialization of workflow container objects.
  More specifically:
  
  The message indicates that the method SET_OBJECTS is being called on the container INIT_OBJECTS in a way that overwrites existing data.
  This usually happens when the workflow container or event container is being initialized or reset, but the system detects that the container already contains data, and the new call overwrites it without proper clearance or handling.
  It can be caused by custom workflow code, event linkage, or filter logic that improperly manipulates container objects.
  Sometimes, it may also be triggered by inconsistencies or bugs in the standard SAP workflow or event handling framework, especially if custom enhancements or user-exits are involved.
