  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTB001 - FB GET_GLOBAL_FGWOSB: Parameter FCODE not set ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WSTB001 FB GET_GLOBAL_FGWOSB: Parameter FCODE not set


    Cause:

    This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or Business Workplace (SBWP) when a function code (FCODE) parameter is expected but not provided or initialized properly. The FCODE parameter is used to identify the action or function that the user wants to perform (e.g., approve, reject, forward, etc.).

    In particular, the error arises when the system tries to call the function module GET_GLOBAL_FGWOSB (or a related function) to retrieve or process workflow tasks, but the FCODE parameter is missing or empty. This can happen due to:

    • Custom developments or enhancements where the FCODE parameter is not passed correctly.
    • Issues in the standard SAP workflow or Business Workplace UI where the function code is not set due to a UI or configuration problem.
    • Corrupted or inconsistent SAP GUI or frontend components.
    • Missing or incorrect assignment of function codes in the workflow container or task definition.

    Solution:

    To resolve the error, consider the following steps:

    1. Check the Calling Program or Enhancement:

      • If you have custom code or user exits/enhancements that call GET_GLOBAL_FGWOSB or related function modules, verify that the FCODE parameter is correctly set before the call.
      • Ensure that the function code corresponds to a valid action expected by the workflow or Business Workplace.
    2. Verify Workflow Task and Container:

      • Check the workflow task definition and container elements to ensure that the function code is properly defined and passed.
      • Use transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder) to inspect the task and its methods.
    3. SAP GUI and Frontend:

      • Sometimes, the error can be caused by an outdated or corrupted SAP GUI. Try updating or reinstalling the SAP GUI.
      • Clear the SAP GUI cache or reset the user settings in the Business Workplace (SBWP).
    4. Check SAP Notes and Patches:

      • Search for relevant SAP Notes that address this error message or related workflow issues.
      • Apply any recommended patches or support packages.
    5. Debugging:

      • If you have developer access, debug the function module GET_GLOBAL_FGWOSB to see why FCODE is not set.
      • Trace the call stack to identify where the parameter should have been set.
    6. User Actions:

      • Ensure that the user is performing a valid action in the Business Workplace or workflow inbox.
      • Sometimes, clicking buttons or links in an unexpected sequence can cause missing parameters.

    • Function Module:

      • GET_GLOBAL_FGWOSB is used internally in workflow or Business Workplace to get global parameters or function codes related to workflow tasks.
    • SAP Notes:

      • Check SAP Support Portal for notes related to WSTB001 or GET_GLOBAL_FGWOSB.
      • Example search terms: "WSTB001 FCODE not set", "GET_GLOBAL_FGWOSB parameter FCODE missing".
