  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTRN900 - &1 &2 &3 &4 ?

    Certainly! Here's detailed information about the SAP error message WSTRN900 &1 &2 &3 &4:


    SAP Message: WSTRN900 &1 &2 &3 &4


    1. Cause

    The message WSTRN900 is related to SAP Workflow and typically occurs during workflow processing or workflow container handling. The placeholders &1, &2, &3, and &4 are dynamically replaced by specific values at runtime, which provide more context about the error.

    General cause:

    • The workflow runtime encountered an issue with a workflow container element.
    • The container element (variable) referenced in the workflow does not exist or is not properly defined.
    • There is a mismatch or inconsistency in the workflow container structure.
    • The workflow step is trying to access or assign a value to a container element that is missing or incorrectly typed.
    • Sometimes, it can be caused by incorrect or missing binding in the workflow definition.

    2. Typical Message Text

    The exact message text can vary depending on the system language and version, but a typical English message might look like:

    Container element &1 in workflow &2, version &3, step &4 does not exist.

    Or:

    Container element &1 in workflow &2, version &3, step &4 is not defined.

    3. Solution

    To resolve the WSTRN900 error, follow these steps:

    1. Check the Workflow Container Definition:

      • Go to the workflow builder (transaction SWDD).
      • Open the workflow &2 (workflow name) and version &3.
      • Navigate to the step &4 (step number or name).
      • Verify that the container element &1 is defined in the container of the workflow or the step.
    2. Verify Container Bindings:

      • Check the binding of the container element &1 in the step &4.
      • Ensure that the container element is correctly bound to the workflow container or to the task container.
      • Correct any missing or incorrect bindings.
    3. Check Data Types:

      • Make sure the data type of the container element matches the expected type.
      • Mismatched data types can cause runtime errors.
    4. Check Workflow Task or Step Implementation:

      • If the container element is used in a method or function module, verify that the parameter exists and is correctly defined.
      • Check the interface of the task or method.
    5. Transport and Version Consistency:

      • If the workflow was recently transported, ensure that all related objects (tasks, container elements, methods) are consistent in the target system.
    6. Debugging:

      • Use transaction SWUS or SWI1 to analyze workflow logs.
      • Use the workflow debugger (SWUD) to trace the error and see exactly where the container element is missing.

    4. Related Information

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SWDD - Workflow Builder
      • SWI1 - Workflow Log
      • SWUS - Workflow Analysis
      • SWUD - Workflow Debugger
    • SAP Notes:

      • Search for SAP Notes related to WSTRN900 in the SAP Support Portal for any known issues or patches.
    • Common Scenarios:

      • Occurs after workflow changes or transports.
      • Happens when custom workflows are modified without updating container elements.
      • Can occur if a workflow step is deleted or changed but references remain.
    • Documentation:

      • SAP Help Portal on Workflow Container and Binding.
      • SAP Workflow Administration guides.

    Summary
