  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WK215 - Configuration " & " was deleted ?

    Certainly! Here's detailed information about the SAP error message WK215:


    SAP Error Message: WK215

    Text: Configuration " & " was deleted


    Cause:

    This error occurs in the SAP Workflow system when a workflow configuration that is being referenced or used has been deleted from the system. The configuration could be related to workflow templates, task configurations, or any custom workflow settings that are no longer available.

    Common scenarios include:

    • A workflow configuration object (like a workflow template or task configuration) was deleted manually or via transport.
    • The system is trying to access or execute a workflow based on a configuration that no longer exists.
    • Inconsistent or outdated workflow references after system changes or transports.

    Solution:

    To resolve the WK215 error, consider the following steps:

    1. Check Workflow Configuration:

      • Verify if the workflow configuration referenced in the error message still exists.
      • Use transaction codes like SWDD (Workflow Builder) or SWU3 (Automatic Workflow Customizing) to check the workflow setup.
    2. Restore or Recreate Configuration:

      • If the configuration was deleted unintentionally, restore it from a backup or transport.
      • If it was deleted intentionally, update the workflow references to point to an existing configuration.
    3. Update Workflow References:

      • Identify all workflows or tasks that reference the deleted configuration.
      • Modify these workflows to use valid configurations.
    4. Check Transport Requests:

      • If the deletion happened during a transport, verify the transport logs and ensure all necessary objects are correctly imported.
    5. Clear Workflow Logs and Restart Workflow:

      • Sometimes, clearing the workflow logs (SWI1) and restarting the workflow can help if the system is stuck referencing deleted configurations.
    6. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Check SAP Support Portal for any notes related to WK215 for your specific SAP version.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SWDD – Workflow Builder
      • SWU3 – Automatic Workflow Customizing
      • SWI1 – Workflow Log
      • SWI2_FREQ – Workflow Runtime Analysis
    • SAP Notes:

      • Search for notes related to workflow configuration deletion or WK215 error.
    • Workflow Configuration Management:

      • Always ensure proper transport and version control of workflow configurations.
      • Avoid deleting configurations that are in active use.
