Workflow Fails After Upgrade to ECC 6.0

[Morris, Eddie]

Hi Joanne,

In relation to the error message OL383 can you check the method
associated with the step that shows this error.

The problem may be that an export parameter is incorrectly filled or not
filled at all in your method code. You must make sure that the variable
is filled before it is exported to the container and do not call
SWC_SET_ELEMENT unless your variable is filled. E.g


Data: OBJTYPE             LIKE SWOTOBJID-OBJTYPE.
...
      SWC_GET_OBJECT_TYPE BKPF_obj OBJTYPE.
      IF NOT OBJTYPE IS INITIAL.
        SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'BKPF_obj' BKPF_obj.
      ENDIF.


Maybe this can help.


Regards,
Eddie

Subject: Workflow Fails After Upgrade to ECC 6.0

Hello all,

I created a custom workflow last year while we were in SAP v4.7.  We are
currently in the process of upgrading to ECC 6.0 (Basis pkg level
SAPKB70011).  This workflow no longer works in 6.0.  It fails with an
error message OL383 "The source and target structure have a different
number of fields".   I get this problem whether the workflow was created
in 4.7 and not worked until 6.0 or if it was created and worked in 6.0.

I researched this error message and found a number of OSS Notes that
imply that there are lots of workflow problems in ECC 6.0 but none of
them refer to the BOR I am using (BKPF).  I did have several notes
applied in 6.0 to prevent potential problems (OSS Note 887076 -
Incorrect Binding After Upgrade and executed pgm ZRSWD_BINDING_RESTORE
and OSS Note 1043988 - Short Dump When Workflow Restarted) however, they
made no impact on the error.

I think the problem is a binding problem because the method that is
failing is the IMPORT_FROM_BOR_CONTAINER however, when I test this
method, it seems to work ok.  There are no syntax errors anywhere in the
workflow or in the business object BKPF or ZBKPF.

I also noticed that BOR BKPF has a new method in 6.0 called
BKPF.GetARLData but that's related to ArchiveLink Data so I don't think
that's causing the problem since I'm not executing that method.

Does anyone have any suggestions or insight?  Thanks for the help.
