    SAP Error Message: WK025 - Deleted


    Meaning of the Error Message WK025

    The message WK025 - Deleted typically appears in SAP Workflow when a workflow container element or an object that the workflow is trying to access has been deleted or is no longer available.


    Cause

    • The workflow is trying to access an object (e.g., a business object instance, container element, or task) that has been deleted or does not exist anymore.
    • The workflow container element or reference points to an object that was removed manually or by some process.
    • The workflow instance or task has been deleted or is no longer valid.
    • The workflow is referencing an outdated or invalid object key.

    Common Scenarios

    • A workflow task is trying to process an object that was deleted in the backend system.
    • A workflow container element is linked to an object that was removed.
    • The workflow runtime tries to access a deleted workflow instance or task.

    Solution

    1. Check the Object Existence:

      • Verify if the object (e.g., business object instance, document, or task) still exists in the system.
      • Use transaction codes like SWI1 (Work Item Selection), SWIA (Work Item Administration), or SWI2_FREQ (Work Items by Task) to check workflow tasks and instances.
    2. Review Workflow Container:

      • Check the workflow container elements to ensure they reference valid objects.
      • Use transaction SWO1 to inspect the business object and container elements.
    3. Restart or Recreate Workflow:

      • If the workflow instance is corrupted or references deleted objects, consider restarting the workflow or creating a new instance.
    4. Check for Deletion Logs:

      • Investigate if the object was deleted manually or by a background job.
      • Check system logs or audit trails to understand why the object was deleted.
    5. Adjust Workflow Logic:

      • Modify the workflow to handle cases where objects might be deleted.
      • Add error handling or checks before accessing objects.
    6. SAP Notes and Support:

      • Search SAP Notes for WK025 related issues.
      • Sometimes, specific patches or corrections are available.
