Workflow transported without containers

[tripurari_rai2]

Hi SAP Workflow Guru's

I am facing a strange issue related to one custom workflow. Custom Workflow is working perfectly fine in development. Then we transported it to Quality server. After successful transport, I checked the workflow in PFTC. I got a dump with runtime error "OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED_NO". Then I tried to open the workflow through SWDD & was shocked to see that whole workflow is there without any container (Even Standard Containers not present for there).

I tried to send the same workflow with new transport & faced same issue again.

Then I copied the workflow & created new copy workflow. But issue still the same in Quality server.

Please help.

I hate to repeat myself but did you analyze the container elements of the workflow? You might be having just ONE invalid container element, and because of that reason PFTC dumps and SWDD gives you an empty container list in test system.

Check these:

1) I see from your dump that it is complaining about object reference to 'ZERO'. Is this some of your container elements? If yes, take a look into that, fix it, and then have a well-earned coffee break.

2)  Another more advanced option: Take a look to the dump. It mentions method CREATE_RH_TASK_CONTAINER (of class cl_swf_cnt_factory?). Put (or ask help from an ABAPer) a breakpoint there, execute PFTC and see if you can find out what is the problematic container element.

Thanks to all for lots suggestions.

Finally I recreated the whole new workflow & resend it in Quality system.

I am partially agreed with Karri that might be something missing in Workflow container which is not going through Quality after transport, but still its big issue to check all 70-80 Containers

I think SAP workflow team should use some exception by which we can found the exact error & get it resolve for containers kind of errors.

Thanks to All.
