• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSAM_SHMAE030 - Value Only ?

  The SAP error message WSAM_SHMAE030 Value Only typically relates to issues encountered in SAP Workflow or SAP ArchiveLink scenarios, often involving shared memory or data handling inconsistencies.
  
  1. Cause
  
  The error WSAM_SHMAE030 Value Only usually indicates that a value-only parameter or data object was expected or encountered where a full object or structure was required.
  It often arises when a workflow container or a shared memory object is accessed or manipulated incorrectly, such as:
  
  Passing only the value of a parameter instead of the entire object.
  Incorrect data type or structure mismatch in workflow container elements.
  Issues in ArchiveLink integration where document info records or attachments are handled improperly.
  
  
  In some cases, it can be caused by inconsistencies in shared memory areas or incorrect usage of shared memory APIs.
  
  
  2. Solution
  
  Check Workflow Container Elements:
  
  Verify that the workflow container elements are defined with the correct data types.
  Ensure that when passing parameters, the entire object or structure is passed, not just the value.
  
  
  Review ABAP Code or Workflow Steps:
  
  If custom code is involved, check the method or function module calls to ensure correct parameter passing.
  Use debugging to identify where the value-only parameter is being passed incorrectly.
  
  
  ArchiveLink Configuration:
  
  If ArchiveLink is involved, verify the document info records and attachments are correctly handled.
  Check for any inconsistencies in the ArchiveLink object types or document classes.
  
  
  Shared Memory Handling:
  
  If shared memory APIs are used, ensure proper locking and unlocking mechanisms.
  Validate that shared memory objects are correctly instantiated and accessed.
  
  
  SAP Notes and Patches:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes that address this error message or related workflow/archive issues.
  Apply any recommended patches or corrections.
  
  
  
  
  3. Related Information
  
  SAP Workflow Container:
  
  Workflow container elements must be consistent in type and structure.
  Passing parameters incorrectly can cause runtime errors.
  
  
  ArchiveLink Integration:
  
  ArchiveLink uses shared memory and document info records; misconfiguration can cause errors.
  
  
  Shared Memory API:
  
  SAP provides APIs for shared memory handling; misuse can lead to errors like WSAM_SHMAE030.
  
  
  Debugging Tips:
  
  Use transaction SWUS (Workflow Runtime Analysis) to trace workflow errors.
  Use ABAP debugger to inspect parameter values and types.
