• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_CC_2012001 - Unsent error with same error code and field name already exists ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WGDS_CC_2012001 Unsent error with same error code and field name already exists
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP when you try to create or add an error message in the Workflow Gateway (WGDS) or Central Error Handling system, but an unsent error with the same error code and field name already exists in the system. Essentially, the system prevents duplicate error entries for the same field and error code that have not yet been processed or sent.
  This typically happens in scenarios involving:
  
  Workflow error handling in SAP Gateway.
  Error messages related to data replication or integration processes.
  When the system tries to log or send an error message but finds an existing unsent error with identical identifiers.
  
  
  Explanation
  
  Error Code: A unique identifier for the type of error.
  Field Name: The specific field in the data or message that caused the error.
  Unsent Error: An error message that has been logged but not yet processed, sent, or cleared.
  
  The system enforces uniqueness to avoid redundant error messages for the same issue, which could cause confusion or processing overhead.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Existing Errors:
  
  Use transaction or report to list unsent errors in the system.
  Identify the existing error with the same error code and field name.
  
  
  
  Process or Clear Existing Errors:
  
  If the existing error is valid, process it accordingly (e.g., resend, correct data, or manually clear).
  If the error is obsolete or a duplicate, delete or clear it to allow new error messages.
  
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Error Creation:
  
  Review the logic or program that creates error messages to ensure it does not attempt to create duplicates.
  Implement checks before error creation to verify if an unsent error with the same code and field already exists.
  
  
  
  Technical Notes / OSS Notes:
  
  Check SAP OSS Notes for any known bugs or patches related to this error.
  Sometimes, SAP provides corrections or recommendations for error handling in workflow or gateway components.

  /IWBEP/ERROR_LOG (for OData errors)
  Custom reports or tables related to workflow error handling.
  
  
  
  Tables:
  
  Check tables related to error logs or workflow errors, e.g., SWWERROR, SWWLOG, or Gateway error tables.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes:
  
  Search SAP Support Portal with the error message or code WGDS_CC_2012001.
  Look for notes related to Workflow Gateway error handling or duplicate error prevention.
  
  
  
  Development:
  
  If you are a developer, add logic to check for existing unsent errors before creating new ones.
  Use function modules or BAPIs that handle error logging properly.
