• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WES_FILTER005 - Internal warning: Call of SET_OBJECTS to INIT_OBJECTS overwrites data ?

  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.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Custom Workflow Logic:
  
  Review any custom workflow steps, container assignments, or event linkage that manipulate the INIT_OBJECTS container.
  Ensure that the container is properly cleared or initialized before calling SET_OBJECTS.
  Avoid multiple or conflicting calls that overwrite container data without proper handling.
  
  
  
  Debug the Workflow or Event Trigger:
  
  Use transaction SWUS (Workflow Event Linkage) or SWI1 (Workflow Log) to trace the workflow execution.
  Debug the point where SET_OBJECTS is called to see what data is being overwritten and why.
  
  
  
  Check for SAP Notes:
  
  Search the SAP Support Portal for notes related to WES_FILTER005 or workflow container issues.
  Apply any relevant SAP Notes or patches that address this warning.
  
  
  
  Review Event and Filter Configuration:
  
  Verify the event linkage and filter configuration in transaction SWETYPV or SWETYP to ensure that the event container is correctly defined and not causing container overwrites.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation:
  
  Review SAP Workflow and Business Event Services documentation for best practices on container handling.

  Example search terms: "WES_FILTER005", "SET_OBJECTS overwrites data", "INIT_OBJECTS container warning".
  
  
  
  SAP Workflow Concepts:
  
  Workflow containers hold data objects passed between workflow steps.
  Proper initialization and handling of containers are critical to avoid data inconsistencies.
  SET_OBJECTS is a method used internally to set container objects.
  
  
  
  
  Summary
  The WES_FILTER005 warning indicates that the workflow container INIT_OBJECTS is being overwritten improperly during the call to SET_OBJECTS. This is often due to custom workflow or event filter logic that does not correctly handle container initialization or clearance. The solution involves reviewing and correcting the workflow container handling, debugging the workflow execution, and applying any relevant SAP Notes or patches.
