question on workflow

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

If there is an error in workflow and I found that the workflow is in error in SWI1 transaction and if I want to restart my workflow I can do it using transaction SWPR ,I have a question on this if there are say 10 activities and if 1 activity went in error and if I reprocess only that how it is correct?

Thanks,

Rg

Hi,

It depends on What error occurred. If it is sync error like Rules because of resignation and WF couldn't fetch agent, then you can restart from there itself without any issues.

But as Rob mentioned, if its process related error, you need to correct that in Dev and import to PRD and then start the process again from Triggering Event.

Restarting from SWPR solves most of the issues since we test all the scenarios before moving to PRD.

Hi,

Well my instructor way back in the day said: If you can do it without workflow you can do it with workflow.

In these tricky situations you can figure out the business process out and handle the rest of the steps manually. Or if you find out that no manipulations have been done to master data, then it might be better to retrigger the event (SWUE) which started the workflow after changes to prevent the error have been imported to your production system.

Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Hi,

Execute the transaction SWI2_DIAG, select the line and Restart workflow.
