  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WK240 - Settings were moved ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WK240 - Settings were moved


    Cause:

    The message WK240 - Settings were moved typically occurs in the SAP Workflow environment. It indicates that the workflow container or task settings have been changed or moved from one place to another. This can happen when:

    • Workflow container elements or task settings are transported or copied between different workflow definitions or tasks.
    • The workflow runtime detects that the settings it expects are no longer in the original location but have been moved.
    • Changes in the workflow template or task configuration have been made, causing the system to notify that the settings have been relocated.

    In essence, the system is informing you that the configuration or settings related to a workflow task or container element have been moved, which might affect the workflow execution or processing.


    Solution:

    To resolve or handle the WK240 message, consider the following steps:

    1. Check Workflow Changes:

      • Review recent changes in the workflow template or task settings.
      • Verify if any container elements or task settings were moved or renamed.
    2. Adjust Workflow Configuration:

      • If the settings were intentionally moved, update the workflow definitions or task configurations accordingly.
      • Ensure that all references to the moved settings are updated to the new location.
    3. Transport and Import:

      • If the workflow was transported between systems, verify that all related objects (container elements, tasks, etc.) were correctly imported.
      • Sometimes incomplete transport can cause such inconsistencies.
    4. Re-generate or Re-activate Workflow:

      • Sometimes re-activating the workflow template or regenerating the task can help synchronize the settings.
    5. Check SAP Notes and Documentation:

      • Look for SAP Notes related to WK240 for any known issues or patches.
      • Use transaction SWI1 (Workflow Log) or SWDD (Workflow Builder) to analyze the workflow and its container elements.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SWDD - Workflow Builder (to check and edit workflow templates)
      • SWI1 - Workflow Log (to analyze workflow runtime errors)
      • SWU3 - Workflow Customizing (to check workflow configuration)
    • SAP Notes:

      • Search for SAP Notes referencing WK240 for any specific fixes or recommendations.
    • Workflow Container:

      • The workflow container holds data elements used during workflow execution. Moving or changing these elements without updating the workflow can cause this message.
    • General Advice:

      • Always document changes in workflow templates and container elements.
      • Test workflows in a development or quality system before transporting to production.

    If you provide more context (e.g., when exactly the message appears, during workflow execution, or during transport), I can help with more specific guidance.
