  Error Message
  WFRE_CON223: Select kind of data for transfer
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when you try to transfer or export workflow container data but have not specified the type or kind of data to be transferred. The workflow container holds various data elements (like tasks, organizational data, or other workflow-related objects), and when exporting or transferring this data (for example, during workflow template transport or workflow container export), SAP requires you to specify what kind of data you want to transfer.
  If the system cannot determine or you have not explicitly selected the data type, it raises this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During workflow container export/import.
  When transferring workflow data between systems.
  When using transaction codes or tools related to workflow container data transfer.
  Possibly during workflow template transport or workflow migration.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you need to explicitly select or specify the kind of data you want to transfer. Here are the steps:
  
  
  Check the Transfer Screen:
  
  When exporting or transferring workflow container data, the system usually presents a selection screen or dialog.
  Make sure to select the appropriate data type(s) for transfer. This could be:
  
  Container elements
  Organizational data
  Task data
  Other workflow-related data
  
  
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction or Tool:
  
  Use the standard SAP tools or transactions designed for workflow container export/import, such as:
  
  SWU3 (Workflow Customizing)
  SWDD (Workflow Builder)
  SWETYPV (Event Linkage)
  Or specific transport tools for workflow templates.
  
  
  
  
  
  Verify Workflow Container Content:
  
  Check the workflow container elements to ensure they are correctly defined and consistent.
  Remove or correct any invalid or unsupported container elements.
  
  
  
  Transport Workflow Templates Properly:
  
  When transporting workflow templates, ensure that the transport request includes all necessary workflow objects and container data.
  Use the SAP standard transport mechanism for workflows.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Sometimes, specific SAP Notes address issues related to workflow container data transfer. Check the SAP Support Portal for notes related to WFRE_CON223.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  Workflow Container: The container is a data structure that holds all the data objects used in a workflow instance. It is essential for passing data between workflow steps.
  Data Types: The kind of data refers to the classification of container elements or workflow objects that need to be transferred.
  Transporting Workflows: Workflow templates and their container data must be transported carefully to ensure consistency across systems (e.g., from development to production).
