  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP693 - Enter a class type ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WXP693 - Enter a class type


    Cause:

    This message appears when you are working in the SAP Workflow Builder or related workflow configuration tools and you have not specified a class type where it is required. The system expects a class type to be entered for certain workflow steps, container elements, or method calls, but the field is left empty.

    In other words, the workflow step or container element requires a reference to a class type (a class defined in the ABAP Dictionary or class builder), and since it is missing, the system prompts you to enter it.


    When does it occur?

    • When defining or editing a workflow container element that requires a class type.
    • When specifying the object type for a workflow step or method.
    • When creating or modifying a method call step in the workflow that requires a class type.
    • When the workflow expects a class type for binding or data mapping but none is provided.

    Solution:

    1. Enter the required class type:

      • Identify the field where the class type is missing.
      • Enter the appropriate class type name (usually an ABAP class name, e.g., CL_MY_CLASS).
      • The class should be defined in the ABAP Class Builder (transaction SE24).
    2. Check the workflow step or container element:

      • Verify the workflow step or container element configuration.
      • Ensure that the object type or class type is correctly assigned.
    3. If unsure about the class type:

      • Consult the workflow documentation or the developer who created the workflow.
      • Use SE24 to find the relevant class or create a new class if necessary.
    4. Save and activate the workflow:

      • After entering the class type, save and activate the workflow.
      • Test the workflow to ensure the error no longer appears.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SWDD - Workflow Builder
      • SE24 - Class Builder
      • SWO1 - Business Object Builder (sometimes related if the class type is linked to business objects)
    • SAP Notes and Documentation:

      • Check SAP Help Portal for Workflow container and step configuration.
      • SAP Notes related to workflow container elements and class types may provide additional guidance.
    • Common Scenario:

      • When creating a container element of type "Object Reference," you must specify the class type of the object.
      • If you leave the class type blank, the system issues WXP693.

    Summary:

    WXP693 - Enter a class type means you need to specify the ABAP class type in the workflow configuration where it is missing. Enter the correct class name in the relevant field to resolve the error.


    If you provide more context (e.g., the exact step or transaction where the error occurs), I can give more tailored advice.
