These messages typically indicate issues encountered during workflow processing, especially when dealing with generic data services or workflow container handling.
  
  Cause
  
  WGDS_COMMON000 001 to 050 messages are generic error messages raised by the class CL_WGDS_COMMON_SERVICES.
  They usually occur due to:
  
  Incorrect or missing data in workflow container elements.
  Problems in data retrieval or manipulation within workflow tasks.
  Issues in the configuration or usage of WGDS services.
  Programming errors in custom workflow implementations that use WGDS.
  Inconsistent or incomplete data passed to WGDS methods.
  
  
  The exact cause depends on the specific message number (001 to 050), as each corresponds to a particular error scenario or check within the WGDS services.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Identify the exact message number and text:
  
  Check the full error message text and number (e.g., WGDS_COMMON000 010).
  This will give clues about the specific problem (e.g., missing container element, invalid data type, etc.).
  
  
  
  Analyze the workflow container and data:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ to find the workflow instance and step where the error occurred.
  Check the workflow container contents for missing or incorrect data.
  Verify that all required container elements are correctly filled and of the expected type.
  
  
  
  Check the usage of WGDS methods:
  
  Review the ABAP code or workflow steps that call CL_WGDS_COMMON_SERVICES methods.
  Ensure that the parameters passed are valid and consistent.
  Look for any custom enhancements or user exits that might interfere.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to WGDS and the specific message number.
  SAP Notes often provide patches, corrections, or detailed explanations.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the cause is not obvious, debug the workflow runtime or the ABAP code where the error is raised.
  Set breakpoints in CL_WGDS_COMMON_SERVICES methods to trace the error.
  
  
  
  General Recommendations:
  
  Ensure that the workflow and WGDS components are up to date with the latest support packages.
