Hi All
Thank you to those that responded.
 
The following container elements are created when creating a workflow =
via
transaction "SWUY".
Container element                   Data type reference
Explanation
ARBGB                               T100-ARBGB
Message ID (application area, for example 'WO')
MSGNR                               T100-MSGNR
Message number (for example '430')
MSGTY                               SYST-MSGTY
Message type ('E', 'A', 'S', etc.)
MSGV1                               SYST-MSGV1
Message variable 1
MSGV2                               SYST-MSGV2
Message variable 2
MSGV3                               SYST-MSGV3
Message variable 3
MSGV4                               SYST-MSGV4
Message variable 4
TEXT                                T100-TEXT
Message text in which the variables (&) are not replaced
MESSAGE                             Without type, that is C(255)
Message text in which the variables are replaced
 
We have also enter the assignment between Workflow and message in table
T100W which will start the new created workflow when the workflow icon =
was
click.
 
Good news is that our newly created workflow has started however not =
all
the error message details are sent to the workflow container.
Container elements "MSGV1" to "MSGV4" are not sent to the workflow
container from the message (Refer Below) does anyone have an idea why =
these
elements was not populated.
Container Element Container Name

Hi Nat,
 
in version 4.6c I had a similar problem depending on how you set up =
your
Help (menu path Help > Settings).
 
If the help display was set to 'in Performance Assistant', the workflow
wasn't triggered unless I was running from the Workplace. Try changing =
the
help display to 'in modal dialog box'.
 
Cheers
 
Cristiana

Hi Nat,
as I know, the workflow will not be started automatically. When the
error message appears you have to click on the ?-Icon to display the
long text. On that screen you will find a new button to start the
workflow that you have set up with the SWUY-wizard.
 
Best regards   Uli Mende
