• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WF_CONT115 - Local type &1 created for type &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WF_CONT115 Local type &1 created for type &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This message is an informational or warning message generated by the SAP Workflow system. It indicates that a local container element (local type) named &1 has been created for a workflow container element of type &2.
  
  &1 = Name of the local container element created.
  &2 = Original container element type.
  
  This usually happens when the workflow engine needs to create a local copy or a local representation of a container element to handle data internally during workflow execution.
  Why does this happen?
  
  When a workflow container element is of a complex or reference type, the system sometimes creates a local type (a local copy or a local structure) to manage the data safely within the workflow context. This is part of the internal workflow container handling mechanism.
  
  Is it an Error or Warning?
  
  This message is generally informational or a warning, not an error that stops processing.
  It is logged to inform the developer or workflow administrator that a local type was created automatically.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During workflow container element creation or modification.
  When the workflow engine needs to handle complex container elements.
  When importing or generating container elements from external types or interfaces.
  
  
  Solution / Action:
  
  No immediate action is required if the workflow runs correctly.
  If you see this message frequently and it causes confusion, review the workflow container definitions.
  Check if the container elements are defined with appropriate types.
  If you want to avoid automatic local type creation, consider defining container elements explicitly with the correct types or structures.
  Ensure that the workflow container elements are consistent with the data types expected by the tasks or methods.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Workflow container elements and their types are defined in transaction PFTC (Workflow Builder).
