• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WPM_MSG_OFR_PRM_INTG104 - Executing changes more than once is not allowed ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WPM_MSG_OFR_PRM_INTG104
  
  Text: Executing changes more than once is not allowed
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in the SAP Workflow system, specifically related to the Workflow Process Management (WPM) or Offer Process Integration. The message indicates that an attempt was made to execute or apply changes to a workflow or process instance more than once, which is not permitted.
  In other words, the system detected that a change or update operation on a workflow object (such as a task, container element, or process instance) is being repeated unnecessarily or incorrectly. This can happen due to:
  
  Duplicate calls to the same method or function module that applies changes.
  Incorrect handling of workflow container elements or parameters.
  Programming logic that tries to commit changes multiple times within the same transaction or workflow step.
  Integration scenarios where the same update is triggered repeatedly due to event handling or callback mechanisms.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Workflow Logic:
  
  Review the workflow definition and the custom code (if any) that manipulates the workflow container or process instance.
  Ensure that changes to the workflow container or process instance are done only once per relevant step or event.
  
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Calls:
  
  Identify where the changes are being executed multiple times.
  Use flags or status checks in your code to prevent re-execution of the same change logic.
  
  
  
  Debug the Workflow:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 (Workflow Log) or SWI2_FREQ to analyze the workflow execution and identify where the duplicate execution occurs.
  Debug the workflow step or method that triggers the changes to see why it is called multiple times.
  
  
  
  Check Integration Points:
  
  If the workflow is integrated with external systems or other SAP components, verify that the integration does not cause repeated triggers.
  For example, in scenarios involving Business Process Management (BPM) or Process Integration (PI), ensure that messages or events are not duplicated.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes using the message ID or keywords.
  Sometimes, this error can be caused by known bugs or patches that need to be applied.

  SWI1 - Workflow Log (to analyze workflow execution)
  SWI2_FREQ - Workflow Runtime Analysis
  
  
  
  SAP Modules:
  
  Workflow (WPM)
  Business Process Management (BPM)
  Process Integration (PI)
  
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Custom workflow container element updates.
  Workflow event handling and triggering.
  Integration with external systems causing repeated updates.
