  SAP Error Message: WSTI_MON003 - No data exists for the selection given
  
  Cause:
  The error message WSTI_MON003 typically occurs when you try to display or process data in a transaction or report related to SAP Workflow or Work Item monitoring, but the system cannot find any data matching the selection criteria you have entered.
  Common causes include:
  
  The selection criteria (such as date range, user, workflow ID, status, etc.) do not correspond to any existing workflow instances or work items.
  The workflow or work item data has been deleted or archived.
  The workflow runtime data has not been generated yet (e.g., workflows have not been triggered or started).
  Incorrect or overly restrictive filters in the selection screen.
  The system or client does not have any workflow data for the selected parameters.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WSTI_MON003 error, you can try the following steps:
  
  
  Check and Broaden Selection Criteria:
  
  Verify the input parameters on the selection screen.
  Remove or relax filters such as date ranges, user IDs, workflow IDs, or statuses.
  Try a wider date range or fewer restrictions to see if any data appears.
  
  
  
  Verify Workflow Data Existence:
  
  Confirm that workflows have been triggered and work items exist in the system.
  Use transaction codes like SWI1 (Work Item Selection) or SWI2_FREQ (Work Item Statistics) to check if any work items exist.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Runtime Environment:
  
  Ensure that the workflow runtime environment is active and functioning.
  Check if the workflow has been started and is not in an error or stopped state.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Make sure you have the necessary authorizations to view the workflow data.
  Lack of authorization might result in no data being displayed.
  
  
  
  Check for Archiving:
  
  If the data is old, it might have been archived.
  Check with your Basis or Workflow administrator if archiving has been performed.
  
  
  
  System Logs and Traces:
  
  Check system logs (SM21) or workflow logs (SWI1, SWI2_DIAG) for any errors or warnings that might indicate issues with workflow data.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:

  SWI2_FREQ - Work Item Statistics
  SWI2_DIAG - Workflow Diagnosis
  SWIA - Work Item Administration
  SWI5 - Work Item Display
  
  
  
  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to workflow monitoring and the specific error message for any patches or known issues.
  
  
  
  Workflow Tables:
  
  Workflow runtime data is stored in tables like SWWWIHEAD (Work Item Header), SWWWIREF (Work Item Reference), etc.
  You can query these tables directly (with caution) to verify if data exists for your selection.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  SAP Help Portal and Workflow documentation provide detailed information on workflow monitoring and troubleshooting.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The WSTI_MON003 error means no workflow or work item data matches your selection criteria. To fix it, verify and broaden your selection parameters, ensure workflows have been triggered, check authorizations, and confirm that data has not been archived or deleted.
