    SAP Error Message:
    WK302 - Error when structuring the control in program &


    Cause:

    The error WK302 typically occurs in the SAP Workflow environment. It indicates that there is a problem during the structuring phase of the workflow container in the specified program (the program name is shown in place of the "&" in the actual message).

    More specifically, this error arises when the workflow runtime tries to structure or fill the workflow container with data, but encounters an issue such as:

    • The container element expected by the workflow is missing or not properly defined.
    • The data object or structure used in the workflow container does not match the expected type.
    • There is a mismatch between the workflow container element and the actual data passed from the program.
    • The program or method that is supposed to fill the container is not correctly implemented or has runtime errors.
    • The workflow container element is not properly mapped or the container element name is incorrect.

    Solution:

    To resolve WK302, follow these steps:

    1. Check the Workflow Container Definition:

      • Go to the workflow builder (transaction SWDD).
      • Open the workflow and check the container elements.
      • Verify that all container elements are correctly defined and have the correct data types.
    2. Check the Program or Method:

      • Identify the program mentioned in the error message.
      • Review the code that structures or fills the workflow container.
      • Ensure that the data passed to the container elements matches the expected types.
      • Check for any runtime errors or exceptions in the program.
    3. Verify Container Mapping:

      • In the workflow step where the error occurs, check the container mapping.
      • Make sure the source and target container elements are correctly mapped.
      • Ensure that the names and types correspond exactly.
    4. Test the Workflow Step:

      • Use the workflow test tools (SWUS or SWI1) to simulate the workflow step.
      • Check if the container is filled correctly without errors.
    5. Check for Missing or Incorrect Data:

      • Sometimes the data passed to the workflow container is incomplete or incorrect.
      • Verify the input data and ensure all required fields are populated.
    6. Debugging:

      • If the above steps do not resolve the issue, debug the workflow container structuring.
      • Set breakpoints in the program or method that fills the container.
      • Trace the data flow and identify where the mismatch or error occurs.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SWDD - Workflow Builder
      • SWI1 - Workflow Log
      • SWUS - Workflow Test
      • SWI2_FREQ - Workflow Runtime Errors
    • SAP Notes:

      • Check SAP Notes related to WK302 for specific patches or known issues.
      • Example: SAP Note 123456 (replace with actual note number if available)
    • Common Scenarios:

      • WK302 often appears after transport or changes in workflow definitions.
      • It can also occur if the underlying data structures (e.g., BOR objects) have changed.
    • Documentation:

      • SAP Help Portal on Workflow Container and Workflow Runtime.
      • SAP Community forums for similar issues and solutions.

    Summary:

    WK302 error means the workflow container could not be structured properly due to mismatches or missing data in the container elements during runtime. The solution involves verifying container definitions, data types, container mappings, and the program logic that fills the container.


    If you provide the exact program name or workflow step, I can help you with more specific guidance.
