Workflow definition is inconsistent error

Former Member — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 03:41:45 GMT

Hello All,

Iam kind of having a weird problem with workflow. The workflow works fine in the DEV system. However one of the workflows is created as a local object ( $TMP) and so I assigned a package to it and transported it to the sand box system.

When I try to trigger the workflow, the event linkage is deactivated and I get a notification in my sap inbox which i pasted below

**********************************

Error processing following event linkage:

ZID_CATS WI_GENERATED WS90200003

Following error occurred:

SWF_RUN 620

NODES

Message text:

Workflow definition is inconsistent (NODES is initial)

Event container appended as attachment.

Event linkage with errors deactivated.

************************************

Was wondering what could be the problem for this. I checked the workflow definition, the various steps in the workflow, they all seem fine. Not sure what the problem is ? Would appreciate any pointers to solve this.

Thanks

Uday S

Hi Uday,

Frankly speaking i am unable to get to the problem.

Just check the transaction: SWETYPV.

In the Transaction SWDD: click on the Hat (Header) symbol [Basic Data <ctrl>F8] Click on Agent Assignment for Task [<shift>F9] and check the attributes there.

Check if the background user, WF-BATCH (in most cases) is unlocked or not. Check if all the tasks that are foreground are in General task mode or not.

Kindly let me know if further details are required from my side.

Thanks & Regards,

Goutham.
