    WES_OUTBOUND107: Status for appl. &1, serv.impl. &2 and dist.chain &3 could not be created


    Meaning / Cause

    This error occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or Business Process Management (BPM) when the system tries to create or update a status record for a particular application, service implementation, and distribution chain but fails. The placeholders:

    • &1 = Application name
    • &2 = Service implementation
    • &3 = Distribution chain

    indicate the specific context where the status creation failed.

    Common causes include:

    • Missing or incorrect configuration of the distribution chain or service implementation.
    • Inconsistent or incomplete workflow or service setup.
    • Authorization issues preventing status creation.
    • Database or communication errors during status update.
    • The distribution chain or service implementation referenced does not exist or is inactive.
    • Transport or system inconsistencies after system copy or upgrade.

    Solution / Troubleshooting Steps

    1. Check Configuration:

      • Verify that the distribution chain (&3) exists and is correctly configured in transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder) or relevant configuration transactions.
      • Check the service implementation (&2) and ensure it is active and properly assigned.
      • Confirm the application (&1) is correctly set up in the system.
    2. Authorization:

      • Ensure the user or process executing the workflow has the necessary authorizations to create or update statuses.
      • Check roles and authorizations related to workflow and status management.
    3. Workflow Logs and Traces:

      • Use transaction SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ to check workflow logs for more detailed error messages.
      • Check system logs (SM21) and developer traces (ST11) for related errors.
    4. Database Consistency:

      • Run consistency checks on workflow tables (e.g., SWWSTAT, SWWLOGH).
      • If inconsistencies are found, consider running standard SAP reports or programs to fix workflow inconsistencies, such as RSWUWFML or RSWUMONI.
    5. Transport and System Copy Issues:

      • If the error appeared after a system copy or transport, verify that all workflow objects and distribution chains were transported correctly.
      • Re-import or reconfigure missing objects if necessary.
