  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP605 - A maximum of two break-downs can be assigned to interface &1 ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WXP605 – "A maximum of two break-downs can be assigned to interface &1"


    Cause:

    This warning message occurs in SAP when you try to assign more than two break-downs (sub-levels or detailed levels) to a single interface in the context of SAP Workflow or Business Process Management (BPM) where interfaces are used to define the structure of data passed between workflow steps or tasks.

    SAP limits the number of break-downs (sub-structures or nested levels) that can be assigned to an interface to two. This is a design restriction to keep the interface manageable and to avoid overly complex data structures in workflows.


    Explanation:

    • Break-downs here refer to the decomposition of complex data types or structures into smaller parts.
    • When defining an interface (e.g., in a workflow container or a method interface), you can assign break-downs to represent nested data.
    • SAP restricts this to a maximum of two break-downs per interface to ensure performance and maintainability.

    Solution:

    • Reduce the number of break-downs assigned to the interface to two or fewer.
    • Review the interface design and simplify the data structure if possible.
    • If you need to pass more complex data, consider:
      • Combining some break-downs into a single structure.
      • Using multiple interfaces or methods to handle different parts of the data.
      • Refactoring the workflow or program logic to avoid exceeding this limit.

    Related Information:

    • This message is a warning (WXP), so it may not stop processing but indicates a design issue.
    • The limitation is related to SAP Workflow container elements or method interfaces in ABAP Objects.
    • Check the interface definition in transaction SWO1 (Business Object Builder) or in the workflow builder.
    • For complex data passing, consider using structures or tables instead of multiple break-downs.
    • SAP documentation and notes related to workflow container elements and interface design may provide additional guidance.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Message WXP605: Max two break-downs per interface
    Cause More than two break-downs assigned to an interface
    Effect Warning about interface complexity and design limit
    Solution Limit break-downs to two; simplify interface design
    Related Areas SAP Workflow, Business Object interfaces, ABAP method interfaces

    If you provide more context (e.g., where exactly this message appears, transaction or tool used), I can help with more specific guidance.
