  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTY177 - No version selected for action & ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WTY177 No version selected for action &


    Cause:

    This error occurs in SAP Workflow when an action is triggered but no version of the method (or action) is selected or available for execution. In SAP Workflow, actions are linked to methods of business object types, and these methods can have multiple versions. If the system cannot find a valid version of the method to execute for the action, it raises this error.

    Common reasons include:

    • The method version is not released or active.
    • The method version is not assigned to the action.
    • The action is incorrectly configured or missing the method version.
    • Transport or system inconsistencies where the method version exists in one system but not in another.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Action Configuration:

      • Go to transaction SWO1 (Business Object Builder).
      • Enter the relevant business object.
      • Navigate to the Actions tab.
      • Select the action that causes the error.
      • Verify that the action is linked to a valid method version.
    2. Check Method Versions:

      • In SWO1, check the method linked to the action.
      • Ensure that the method has at least one released version.
      • If no version is released, create and release a version of the method.
    3. Release the Method Version:

      • If the method version is in development or not released, release it.
      • Only released versions can be used in workflow actions.
    4. Transport and System Consistency:

      • If the workflow was transported from another system, ensure that the method versions and actions are consistent.
      • Re-import or re-activate the business object and its methods if necessary.
    5. Re-Generate the Business Object:

      • Sometimes regenerating the business object in SWO1 can help.
      • Use the "Generate" function to refresh the object repository.
    6. Check for Custom Code or Enhancements:

      • If the action is custom, verify that the custom method versions are properly created and released.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SWO1 - Business Object Builder
      • SWDD - Workflow Builder (to check workflow definitions)
      • SWI1 - Workflow Log (to analyze workflow errors)
    • SAP Notes:

      • Search for SAP Notes related to WTY177 for any specific patches or known issues.
    • Documentation:

      • SAP Help Portal on Workflow and Business Objects.
      • SAP Workflow Developer Guide.

    Summary:

    The error WTY177 No version selected for action & indicates that the workflow action cannot find a valid method version to execute. The fix involves ensuring that the method linked to the action has a released version and that the action is properly configured to use it.
