  Error Message
  WFF_KW015
  
  The document you want to save (Guid &1, version &2) has no content.
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when the system tries to save a workflow container element or a document (such as a business object or a workflow container element) that is expected to have content, but the content is missing or empty.
  Specifically:
  
  The workflow container element or document identified by the GUID and version number does not contain any data.
  This can happen if the workflow step or the process tries to save an object that was never properly initialized or populated.
  It may also occur if the document or container element was deleted or cleared before the save operation.
  Sometimes, this error arises due to inconsistencies or bugs in custom workflow logic or user exits that manipulate workflow container elements.
  
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During workflow execution, when a step tries to save or update a container element or document.
  When a workflow task or step tries to persist a document that is empty.
  In custom workflows where container elements are manipulated programmatically.
  When using SAP Business Document Service (BDS) or ArchiveLink and the document content is missing.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix
  
  
  Check the Workflow Container Elements:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ to analyze the workflow.
  Check the container elements of the workflow step that causes the error.
  Verify if the container element (document) identified by the GUID actually contains data.
  
  
  
  Debug the Workflow:
  
  Use transaction SWUS or SWI1 to debug the workflow.
  Set breakpoints in the workflow step or in the function modules/methods that save the document.
  Check why the document content is empty or missing.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If custom code or user exits are used to populate or manipulate the workflow container elements, review them.
  Ensure that the document or container element is properly initialized and filled before saving.
  
  
  
  Check Document Creation Logic:
  
  If the document is created via BDS or ArchiveLink, verify that the document content is correctly uploaded and linked.
  Check for any errors in document creation or upload steps.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Reinitialize the Document:
  
  If the document is missing or corrupted, try to recreate or reinitialize it before saving.
