  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_PRC_CON002 - Database Error When Reading Document &1
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when the SAP system tries to read a document (such as a workflow container element, a business object, or a related database entry) but encounters a database inconsistency or missing data. The placeholder &1 is replaced by the document or object ID that the system attempted to read.
  Common causes include:
  
  The document or object no longer exists in the database (deleted or not yet created).
  Database inconsistencies or corruption.
  Authorization issues preventing access to the document.
  Transport or system copy issues where references to documents are invalid.
  Locking or buffering problems causing read failures.
  Custom code or enhancements that incorrectly handle document reads.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Document ID:
  
  Identify the document/object ID referenced in the error message (&1). Verify if this document exists in the database tables related to the process (e.g., workflow tables like SWWWIHEAD, SWWCONT, or business object tables).
  
  
  Database Consistency Check:
  
  Run database consistency checks or use transaction SE14 to check and repair database tables related to the document.
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user or process has the necessary authorizations to read the document.
  
  
  Review Workflow or Process Logs:
  
  If this error occurs in a workflow, use transaction SWI1 or SWI2_DIAG to analyze workflow logs and identify where the document read fails.
  
  
  Check for Locks or Buffer Issues:
  
  Use transactions like SM12 (lock entries) and SM13 (update requests) to check for locks or update failures.
  
  
  Transport/System Copy Issues:
  
  If this error appears after a system copy or transport, verify that all related objects and data were correctly transported or copied.
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the error persists, debug the program or workflow step where the error occurs to identify the exact database read causing the problem.
