  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WK230 - Configuration " & " was moved ?

    The SAP error message WK230: Configuration " & " was moved typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow. Here's a detailed explanation of the cause, solution, and related information:


    Error Message

    WK230: Configuration " & " was moved


    Cause

    This message appears when a workflow configuration (such as a workflow template or a workflow container element) has been moved or changed in the system. Specifically, it often happens when:

    • A workflow configuration object (like a workflow template, task, or container element) has been transported or moved from one system/client to another.
    • The workflow runtime detects that the configuration it expects has been altered or relocated.
    • There is a mismatch between the workflow configuration stored in the system and the one referenced by the workflow runtime or workflow log.

    In other words, the workflow configuration that was originally assigned or referenced has been changed or moved, causing the system to notify the user or administrator.


    When does it occur?

    • During workflow execution or monitoring.
    • When trying to display or process a workflow instance that references a configuration that no longer exists in the expected place.
    • After transport or system copy activities where workflow objects have been moved.

    Solution

    1. Check Workflow Configuration:

      • Verify that the workflow template or configuration object referenced by the workflow instance exists and is active in the system.
      • Use transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder) to check the workflow template.
      • Use transaction SWI1 or SWI2_FREQ to check workflow logs and instances.
    2. Re-import or Re-activate Workflow Configuration:

      • If the workflow configuration was moved or transported, ensure it has been correctly imported and activated in the target system.
      • Reactivate the workflow template or related objects if necessary.
    3. Adjust Workflow References:

      • If the workflow instance references an old or moved configuration, you may need to update the workflow instance or restart the workflow with the correct configuration.
    4. Check Transport Logs:

      • Review transport logs to confirm that all workflow-related objects were transported correctly.
    5. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Sometimes, specific SAP Notes address issues related to workflow configuration changes or transports. Check the SAP Support Portal for notes related to WK230 or workflow configuration transport issues.

      • Ensure all dependent objects are transported together to avoid inconsistencies.
    • System Copy or Client Copy:

      • After system or client copies, workflow configurations might need reactivation or adjustment.
