    Meaning of the Message WL026

    • Type: Information (not an error or warning)

    This message indicates that the system has successfully unscheduled the monitoring of work item errors. In other words, the background job or monitoring task that checks for workflow errors has been stopped or deactivated.


    Cause

    • The workflow error monitoring job or task was previously scheduled to run periodically to check for errors in workflow work items.
    • Someone or some process has now unscheduled or deactivated this monitoring job.

    Solution / What to Do

    • If this was intentional:

    3. Scheduling the Error Monitoring Job:

      • Use transaction SWI2_FREQ or SWI2_FREQ_MON (depending on SAP version) to schedule or reschedule the error monitoring job.
      • Alternatively, you can schedule the job manually in SM36:
        • Job name: SAP_WL_ERROR_MONITOR

        • Variant: Usually empty or as per your system setup.
