SWU3 - Maintain Workflow Administrator not working

Wed Jul 18 01:08:03 EDT 2007

Hi Claude,

Just a matter of infor.
We make sure that all our periodic jobs are set up with system user, e.g.
BATCH-01.

By doing this even if a user is deleted later the jobs will still run.

Hi!

We experienced a similar problem in one SAP server and not in other SAP
servers. Then  I discovered
that the problem started exactly the day  when the WF-BATCH user password
was changed.
Once discovered we solved it easily running the SWU3 transaction again.

In another similar incident in SAP Solution Manager some periodic jobs
failed exactly when I deleted the SAP
user used by the contractor who submited those jobs. Those jobs started
working ok
again as soon as I created a new sap user with the same name.

Regards, Claude

      I was also experiencing this behaviour on my last project, running in
      ECC 5.
      I still do not know what the problem is.
      I really appreciate if anyone can share how to solve this issue.

      When customizing the Workflow Administrator you are allowed to enter
      a position with users attached to the position, which we
      have done. We then set up auto-forwarding to get emails when we have
      workflow errors. This was working great for years and
      until about 6 months ago it stopped working.

      We have tested all different things to make sure it was not an email
      issue. We came to
      the conclusion that it works when a USER is set-up as administrator
      and will not work with a POSITION or ORGANIZATION unit
      is there. Has anyone else had this problem?? If so how did you
      correct it.

       In our company it makes sense to put a position as administrator
      with users attached.
      We are on SAP R3/E enterprise with latest SAP Basis Package  620
      release level 55.
