• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS122 - Structure type is not valid ?

  The SAP error message:
  WGDS_PROCESS122: Structure type is not valid
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the SAP Workflow system when a structure type assigned or referenced in a workflow container or in a workflow step is not valid or recognized by the system. This can happen due to:
  
  The structure type does not exist in the Data Dictionary (SE11).
  The structure type has been deleted or renamed.
  The structure type is not compatible or incorrectly assigned in the workflow container element.
  There is a mismatch between the expected data type and the actual data type used in the workflow step or container.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Structure Type in SE11:
  
  Go to transaction SE11.
  Enter the structure type name used in the workflow container or step.
  Verify that the structure exists and is active.
  
  
  
  Verify Workflow Container Elements:
  
  Go to transaction PFTC (Workflow Builder).
  Open the workflow or task where the error occurs.
  Check the container elements and their data types.
  Ensure that the structure type assigned to the container element is correct and exists.
  
  
  
  Check the Workflow Step Parameters:
  
  In the workflow step, verify the input/output parameters.
  Make sure the structure types used in parameters are valid and consistent.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the Structure:
  
  If the structure exists but is inactive, activate it in SE11.
  
  
  
  Adjust or Correct the Structure Type:
  
  If the structure type was renamed or changed, update the workflow container or step to use the correct structure type.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If the workflow was transported from another system, ensure that the structure type exists in the target system.
  Import missing objects if necessary.

  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to workflow container and data type issues.
  Sometimes, SAP releases patches or notes for known workflow errors.
  
  
  
  Common Scenario:
  
  When creating or modifying workflows, if you assign a container element with a structure type that is not defined or incorrectly referenced, this error will occur.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use transaction SWUS or SWI1 to trace workflow errors.
  Check the workflow log for detailed error messages.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WGDS_PROCESS122 Structure type is not valid means that the workflow container or step references a structure type that is not valid or does not exist. The solution is to verify and correct the structure type in the workflow container or step, ensuring it exists and is active in the Data Dictionary.
