- Target process type & contains active rules ?Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
SAP Error Message:
WF064 Target process type & contains active rules
Cause:
This error occurs when you try to delete or modify a workflow container element or a workflow step, but the target process type (workflow template) still has active rules assigned to it. In SAP Business Workflow, rules are used to determine dynamic values during workflow execution. If active rules are linked to the target process type, the system prevents changes that could affect the workflow's integrity.
In other words, the workflow you are trying to change or delete is still referenced by active rules, so the system blocks the operation to avoid inconsistencies.
Explanation:
Check for active rules assigned to the workflow:
Deactivate or delete the active rules:
Adjust the workflow or rules accordingly:
After removing or deactivating the rules, retry the operation.
Aspect | Description |
---|---|
Cause | Target process type has active rules assigned, preventing deletion/modification. |
Solution | Identify and deactivate/delete the active rules linked to the workflow before proceeding. |
Transactions | PFTC_RULES, SWO1, SWDD, SWI1 |
Notes | Ensure no running workflows depend on these rules to avoid runtime errors. |
If you need help with specific steps or transactions, feel free to ask!
