    SAP Error Message: WFEA100 - Overview of problems


    Cause:

    The message WFEA100 typically appears in the context of SAP Workflow Engine (WFEA stands for Workflow Engine Application). It is a general informational or error message that provides an overview or summary of problems detected during workflow processing or execution.

    The cause of this message is usually that the workflow runtime has encountered one or more issues such as:

    • Errors in workflow container binding.
    • Missing or incorrect workflow tasks or steps.
    • Problems with workflow agents or agents determination.
    • Issues in workflow event triggering.
    • Errors in workflow runtime environment or workflow logs.
    • Problems in workflow execution due to system or configuration errors.

    The message itself is an overview or summary, often followed by detailed error messages or logs that specify the exact problem(s).


    Solution:

    Since WFEA100 is an overview message, the solution involves:

    1. Check Workflow Logs:

      • Use transaction SWI1 (Workflow Log) or SWI2_FREQ (Frequently Used Workflows) to analyze the detailed workflow logs.
      • Identify the specific errors or warnings that caused the overview message.
    2. Analyze Detailed Error Messages:

      • Look for detailed error messages related to the workflow instance.
      • Check for container binding errors, missing agents, or failed tasks.
    3. Correct Workflow Configuration:

      • Fix any errors in the workflow definition using SWDD (Workflow Builder).
      • Ensure all workflow steps, tasks, and container elements are correctly defined and bound.
    4. Check Agent Assignments:

      • Verify that agents (users or roles) are correctly assigned and active.
      • Use transaction PFTC to check task definitions and agent assignments.
    5. Check Event Linkage:

      • Ensure that the triggering events for the workflow are correctly configured and active.
    6. System and Authorization Checks:

      • Verify that the user executing the workflow has the necessary authorizations.
      • Check for any system errors or dumps related to workflow processing.
    7. Reprocess or Restart Workflow:

      • After fixing the issues, restart or reprocess the workflow instance if necessary.
