  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFF_KW013 - No version found for Guid &1 ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WFF_KW013 No version found for Guid &1


    Cause

    This error occurs in SAP Workflow when the system tries to find a version of a workflow object (such as a task, container element, or workflow definition) using a GUID (Globally Unique Identifier), but no corresponding version exists in the database.

    Common causes include:

    • The workflow object (e.g., task, container element, or workflow definition) has been deleted or not yet created.
    • The workflow object exists but has no active or valid version.
    • The GUID passed to the workflow engine is incorrect or outdated.
    • Inconsistent or corrupted workflow repository data.
    • Transport or system copy issues where workflow objects were not properly imported or activated.

    Explanation

    In SAP Workflow, each object (tasks, workflows, container elements) is identified internally by a GUID. When the workflow runtime tries to execute or access an object, it looks up the version of the object by its GUID. If no version is found, the system cannot proceed, resulting in this error.


    Solution

    1. Check the GUID and Object Existence:

      • Identify the GUID mentioned in the error message.
      • Use transaction SWO1 (Workflow Builder) or SWDD (Workflow Builder) to check if the object with that GUID exists.
      • You can also use table SWWWIHEAD or SWWWIHEAD to find workflow instances and their GUIDs.
    2. Check Object Versions:

      • In SWO1 or SWDD, verify if the object has an active version.
      • If no version exists, create or activate a version of the workflow object.
    3. Re-import or Re-activate Workflow Objects:

      • If the workflow object is missing or corrupted, re-import the workflow or task from the transport.
      • Activate the workflow or task again to ensure versions are created.
    4. Check for Transport or System Copy Issues:

      • If this error appears after a system copy or transport, verify that all workflow objects were properly imported and activated.
      • Use transaction SWU_OBUF to regenerate the workflow buffer.
    5. Regenerate Workflow Buffer:

      • Run transaction SWU_OBUF to regenerate the workflow buffer, which can fix inconsistencies between the repository and runtime.
    6. Check Workflow Logs and Traces:

      • Use transaction SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ to analyze workflow logs for more details.
      • Check system logs (SM21) and dumps (ST22) for related errors.
    7. SAP Notes and Support:

      • Search for SAP Notes related to WFF_KW013 for specific patches or corrections.
      • Example SAP Note: 108993 - "No version found for GUID" error in workflow.

      • SWO1 - Workflow Builder (to check workflow objects)
      • SWDD - Workflow Builder (graphical)
      • SWU_OBUF - Regenerate workflow buffer
      • SWI1 - Workflow log display
      • SWI2_FREQ - Workflow log analysis
      • SE16 / SE16N - To check tables like SWWWIHEAD, SWWWIHEAD, SWWORGTASK
    • Tables:

      • SWWWIHEAD - Workflow instances header
      • SWWORGTASK - Workflow tasks
      • SWWCONT - Workflow container elements
    • SAP Notes:

      • 108993 - "No version found for GUID" error in workflow
      • 178993 - Workflow error: No version found for GUID

    Summary

    Aspect Description
    Cause Workflow engine cannot find a version of the workflow object identified by the GUID.
    Solution Verify object existence and versions, reactivate or re-import workflow objects, regenerate workflow buffer (SWU_OBUF).
    Related Use transactions SWO1, SWDD, SWU_OBUF, check workflow logs, and consult SAP Notes.

    If you provide the GUID or context (e.g., which workflow or task is involved), I can help you with more specific steps.
