How To Fix WF_CONT003 - Local ABAP Dictionary type for &1 is not actively available

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WF_CONT - Workflow Container, Definition Time and Runtime

• Message number: 003

• Message text: Local ABAP Dictionary type for &1 is not actively available

What causes this issue?

An error occurred when reading or saving a work item container because
no corresponding structure for DDIC type &V1& could be found in the
workflow namespace. DDIC type &V1& is used in the work item container to
be saved and does not have an initial value.
Workflow &V2& was active.

System Response

When a container is saved, the workflow runtime requires the
corresponding structures for all structures used in the container, and
therefore generates a runtime error as a reaction to this inconsistency.
The corresponding structures are created automatically by the system at
various time points. These time points are:
After an upgrade by the workflow system job.
When a workflow or task is imported
When a workflow is activated (SWDD)
When a runtime version is created (SWDD)
Once a day from the workflow system job.

How to fix this error?

Inform your system administrator.

Procedure for System Administrators

Start the creation of all corresponding structures in transaction
SWF_CNT_STR_EDIT, or use action "Create Runtime Version" for the w
orkflow in question in the workflow builder (SWDD).
After the structures have been created, you have to restart the workflow
instances in transaction SWPC.
