  SAP Error Message: WK219 - Specify a configuration name
  
  Cause:
  The error message WK219 occurs when a workflow step or a workflow container element requires a configuration name, but none has been specified. This typically happens in the context of SAP Business Workflow when a task or step is configured to use a particular configuration (such as a binding or a method call configuration), but the system cannot find or identify the configuration name.
  In other words, the workflow step expects a configuration name to determine how to process the step, but this information is missing or not maintained.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you are creating or editing a workflow step that requires a configuration name.
  When the workflow container or task is not properly linked to a configuration.
  When a method call or a container element is missing the configuration name in the workflow definition.
  During workflow execution if the system tries to access a configuration that is not specified.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Specify the Configuration Name:
  
  Go to the workflow builder (transaction SWDD).
  Open the workflow definition where the error occurs.
  Locate the step or container element that requires a configuration name.
  Enter the appropriate configuration name in the step’s properties or container element binding.
  
  
  
  Check Task or Step Configuration:
  
  Verify that the task or step is correctly configured with the necessary configuration.
  If you are using a method call step, ensure that the method call configuration is maintained.
  
  
  
  Maintain Configuration in SWO1 (Business Object Builder):
  
  If the configuration name relates to a business object method or container element, check the configuration in transaction SWO1.
  Ensure that the configuration name exists and is correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Container Bindings:
  
  Make sure that the workflow container elements are properly bound to the task container or method parameters.
  Missing or incorrect bindings can cause the system to not find the configuration name.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If the workflow was transported from another system, verify that all configurations and related objects were transported correctly.
  Missing configurations in the target system can cause this error.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SWDD - Workflow Builder (to edit workflow definitions)
  SWO1 - Business Object Builder (to maintain business objects and configurations)
  SWI1 - Workflow Log (to analyze workflow errors)
  
  
  
  Related Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to workflow configuration errors.
  Review SAP Help Portal documentation on workflow container and task configuration.
  
  
  
  Common Scenario:
  
  When creating a method call step in a workflow, you must specify the configuration name that defines how the method is called and how the container elements are mapped.
  If this is omitted, the system throws WK219.
