• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WL591 - Workflow continued after breakpoint ?

  The SAP error message WL591, which states "Workflow continued after breakpoint," typically occurs during the execution of a workflow in SAP Business Workflow. This message indicates that the workflow has reached a breakpoint that was set for debugging purposes, and it has continued execution after the breakpoint was hit.
  Cause:
  
  Breakpoint Set in Workflow: A breakpoint has been set in the workflow definition or in the associated ABAP code (e.g., in a method or function module) that is being executed as part of the workflow.
  Debugging Mode: The workflow is running in debugging mode, and the execution has continued past the breakpoint without any user intervention.
  Workflow Configuration: There may be issues in the workflow configuration or logic that cause it to behave unexpectedly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Remove Breakpoints: If you are not actively debugging the workflow, you can remove any breakpoints that have been set. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38 or SE80).
  Entering the program or function module name where the breakpoint is set.
  Using the menu path Utilities -> Breakpoints -> Display to view and remove breakpoints.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Definition: Review the workflow definition in transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder) to ensure that there are no unintended breakpoints or issues in the workflow logic.
  
  
  Debugging: If you are debugging the workflow intentionally, you can step through the code to understand why it is continuing past the breakpoint. You may need to check the logic in the workflow or the associated ABAP code.
  
  
  Test in Production: If this error occurs in a production environment, ensure that you are not running workflows in debug mode unless necessary. It is advisable to test workflows in a development or quality assurance environment first.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to workflow debugging for additional guidance.
