SWDD abends when dragging a step type into existing template

Former Member

Hello,

The following steps cause an abend.  Has anyone seen this and found a fix?

- Start transaction SWWD

- drag a new step type into an existing workflow template

- at the cursor a plus sign displays

- upon releasing the mouse button the program abends

I created an incident report in OSS.  While awaiting their response I thought I would ask the community.

The abend listing is included in an attachment.

Thanks

Bruce

I think I had a similar problem and it was a SAP GUI problem, install the latest patch of the SAP GUI and it should work well. while it wasn't working I used the right click->create option as Karri suggested.

SAP GUI Patch is missing. Please un-install the existing SAP GUI and re-install with all the patches.

This error get caused due to improper XML file generation. All the workflow design generates XML file in background. Please check these also

1.) For testing purpose you can download a workflow template in XML format and check whether its allowing or not ?

2.) Try to modify the workflow templates using T-Code PFTC. Just right click and add new step rather than drag and drop.

Hi Bruce

Solution: Note 1783103 - Short dump or system hanging during drag and drop in the workflow builder - Same abend message and steps. This note asks to Apply note 1769371 to solve the issue. Please note that the correction comes with SAP GUI 7.30 patch 2 ...  Ronen Weisz is correct in saying that the SAP GUI is the culprit here 😉

Can you add a step to your template by first clicking the target position in the template and then double-clicking the step type? Or are you having a problem with this approach too?
