- Workflow & no. & step &: Expression '&' is not a valid task number ?The SAP error message WL385 indicates that there is an issue with a workflow task number in the specified workflow step. This error typically arises when the workflow is trying to reference a task that does not exist or is not valid in the context of the workflow.
Cause:
- Invalid Task Number: The task number referenced in the workflow is either incorrect or does not exist in the system.
- Deleted or Inactive Task: The task may have been deleted or marked as inactive, making it unavailable for the workflow.
- Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the workflow definition or the task itself.
- Transport Issues: If the workflow was transported from one system to another, the task might not have been transported correctly.
Solution:
- Check Task Number: Verify the task number referenced in the error message. Ensure that it is correct and exists in the system.
- Review Workflow Definition: Open the workflow definition in the SAP Workflow Builder (transaction code SWDD) and check the step that is causing the error. Ensure that the task number is correctly assigned.
- Check Task Status: Use transaction code PFTC (Task Maintenance) to check the status of the task. Ensure that it is active and not deleted.
- Recreate Task: If the task is missing or has been deleted, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup if available.
- Transport Check: If the workflow was transported, ensure that all related objects, including tasks, were transported correctly. You may need to re-transport the task or check the transport logs for errors.
- Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the workflow to identify where the invalid task number is being referenced.
