    SAP Error Message:
    WGDS_PROCESS664
    Text: Variant &1 created for item processing as daemon


    Explanation / Cause

    This message is informational and occurs in the context of SAP Workflow (transaction SWDD, SWIA, or related workflow processing transactions). It indicates that a variant (a saved set of selection criteria or parameters) has been created specifically for item processing as a daemon.

    • Daemon processing in SAP Workflow refers to background processing of workflow items, typically to handle large volumes of workflow tasks asynchronously.
    • When you create or schedule a variant for workflow item processing, SAP creates a variant that the daemon job uses to process workflow items in the background.
    • The message WGDS_PROCESS664 confirms that such a variant has been successfully created.

    This is not an error but an informational message indicating that the system has created a variant for daemon processing of workflow items.


    When does this message appear?

    • When you configure or schedule workflow item processing in the background.
    • When you create or maintain variants for workflow daemon jobs.
    • During workflow administration or monitoring activities involving background processing.

    Solution / Action

    • Since this is an informational message, no corrective action is required.
    • You can proceed with scheduling or running the workflow daemon job using the created variant.
    • Ensure that the variant parameters are correct and meet your processing requirements.
    • If you want to check or modify the variant, you can do so in transaction SE38 or SA38 by running the program that uses the variant or via the variant maintenance screen.

    Related Information

    • Workflow Daemon: The workflow daemon is a background process that processes workflow tasks asynchronously to improve performance and scalability.
