  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTY015 - No action control exists, application can therefore not be called ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WTY015 - No action control exists, application can therefore not be called


    Cause:

    This error occurs in SAP Workflow when the system tries to call an application (such as a transaction, report, or function module) linked to a workflow step, but the corresponding action control is not defined or missing in the workflow configuration.

    In SAP Workflow, an action control is a link between a workflow step and the executable object (like a transaction or program). If this link is missing or incorrectly maintained, the system cannot determine what to execute, resulting in the WTY015 error.


    When does it occur?

    • When a workflow step is supposed to trigger an application (e.g., a transaction or report) but the action control for that step is not maintained.
    • When the workflow container or binding is incomplete or incorrect.
    • When the workflow object or task is not properly linked to the executable object.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Workflow Step Configuration:

      • Go to transaction PFTC (Maintain Task) or SWDD (Workflow Builder).
      • Identify the workflow step/task that causes the error.
      • Verify if the step is linked to an executable object (transaction, report, function module).
    2. Maintain Action Control:

      • Use transaction SWETYPV (Event Linkage) or SWETYP (Event Types) to check if the action control exists for the workflow object.
      • Ensure that the action control is properly maintained for the workflow object and the application you want to call.
      • If missing, create or maintain the action control for the relevant object.
    3. Check Task Binding:

      • In the task definition (PFTC), check the binding of the task container elements.
      • Make sure the container elements are correctly bound to the workflow container and the executable object parameters.
    4. Check Authorization:

      • Sometimes, missing authorizations can cause similar issues. Ensure the user triggering the workflow has the necessary authorizations.
    5. Re-generate the Workflow:

      • After making changes, regenerate or activate the workflow and tasks.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SWDD - Workflow Builder
      • PFTC - Maintain Task
      • SWETYPV - Maintain Event Linkage
      • SWETYP - Event Types
      • SWI1 - Workflow Log (to analyze the error in detail)
    • SAP Notes:

      • Check SAP Notes related to workflow errors and action control issues for your specific SAP version.
    • Documentation:

      • SAP Help Portal: Workflow configuration and troubleshooting guides.
      • SAP Community forums for similar issues and solutions.

    Summary:

    The WTY015 error means the workflow step lacks a defined action control, so the system doesn't know what application to call. To fix it, verify and maintain the action control for the workflow object and ensure the workflow step is properly linked to the executable application.
