• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WI200 - ***200 - 249 Reserved for SWI1 - Display work item (Alan) ?

  The SAP error message WI200 - 249 Reserved for SWI1 - Display work item typically appears in the context of SAP Workflow (transaction SWI1 and related tools). Here's a detailed explanation of the cause, solution, and related information:
  
  Error Message:
  WI200 - 249 Reserved for SWI1 - Display work item
  
  Cause:
  
  This message is not a typical error but rather an informational or placeholder message related to SAP Workflow.
  The message number range 200 - 249 is reserved for internal use by the transaction SWI1 (Display Work Items).
  When you try to display or process a work item in SAP Workflow, the system uses these messages internally to control the display and processing logic.
  If you see this message explicitly, it might indicate:
  
  An attempt to directly call or process a work item using a message number reserved for internal workflow processing.
  A custom program or user action is trying to use or display a work item in a way that conflicts with the reserved message range.
  Possibly a misconfiguration or an incorrect call to workflow APIs or function modules.
  
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Use standard SAP transactions: Always use standard SAP transactions like SWI1 (Display Work Items), SWI2_FREQ (Work Items by User), or SWI5 (Work Item Selection) to display and manage workflow work items.
  Check custom code: If you have custom developments or enhancements that interact with workflow work items, verify that they do not use or reference message numbers in the reserved range (200-249) for workflow.
  Debug workflow processing: If the message appears unexpectedly, debug the workflow processing or the program that triggers the display of the work item to understand why the reserved message is being called.
  SAP Notes and Support: Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to workflow message handling. If the problem persists, consider raising a support ticket with SAP, providing details of the workflow and the context in which the message appears.
  
  
  Related Information:

  Workflow message classes: SAP reserves certain message number ranges for internal workflow processing.
  Workflow logs and traces: Use transaction SWI2_DIAG or SWI6 to analyze workflow logs and diagnose issues.
  SAP Help and Documentation: Refer to SAP Help Portal for Workflow basics and message handling.
  Custom Workflow Development: When developing custom workflows or user exits, ensure compliance with SAP message number ranges and avoid conflicts.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  WI200 - 249 Reserved for SWI1 is an internal SAP Workflow message range.
  It is not an error but a reserved message number range used by SAP workflow tools.
  Use standard SAP workflow transactions to display work items.
  Avoid using these message numbers in custom developments.
