Workflow log

[Former Member]

Hello friends,

When I try to get a workflow log it says,

"Workflow log is not available".

Please guide me on this issue.

Hi

It sounds to me like your workitems/logs has been deleted.

If this is done through the archiving functionality, SAP provides you with some tools for reading from these archieved files - check

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/8d/3e704c462a11d189000000e8323d3a/frameset.htm

If it's done through transaction SWWL for workitems and SWWH (I haven't got SAP access so I'm not quite sure about this)for the log - you will not be able retrieve the workflow log

For future reference it could be a god idea to lock these two transaction codes in your production environment (Through SM01)

Hi,

How do you access the log?

With transaction SWI1?

It could be that the log table entries were somehow removed, or maybe you don't have sufficient athorizations (check tr SU53, after getteing the message)

Hi Rob,

Its not an issue with all workflow instances. A workflow instance which was started some 8 months back. I m working on Customer developed Invoice verification workflow. That w/f instance is completed but invoice is not posted yet. when I try to access log it says log is not available.

Hi,

check with your basis team at what interval the items get archived, you can check this yourself with transaction SARA and I think object WORKITEM.

It seems that they just don't exist anymore.

Kind regards, Rob Dielemans
