After ECC 6.0 upgrade - OL383 Source and target structure have a different number of fields

[Mike Gambier]

Hi Carol,
 
We've recently hit the same bug in our upgrade testing too.
 
My initial hunch was to check whether all of the mandatory importing parameters were being passed to the method, as ECC 6 is a lot stricter about that sort of thing. 
 
In our case our 4.6c Task binding is trying to send through an initialised container element called &FALSE& (which was a BOOLE-BOOLE that had not been set by any container operation). 
 
In the actual binding for the errored steps for this Workflow in ECC 6 I checked SWW_CONT and could not find an entry for the mandatory parameter this was supposed to be passed to.
 
Interestingly in another step of another Workflow we know this method works fine if proper fixed values are passed, e.g. constant of 'X'.
 
Consequently I suspect that an initialised field binding like this doesn't quite work anymore. I haven't had time yet to check OSS but maybe you could have a peek at your binding to see if this sounds similar?

Hi All,
 
I'm quite new to workflow and have a bespoke task (created by a consultant who has now left) which is failing in workflow after the Upgrade to ECC 6.0.
 
The task is based on a subtype of BUS2089 EmployeeTrip, and calls a bespoke Function Module as a wrapper for SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUTES_GET to determine the substitutes for a task agent.
 
It works fine in 4.72.
 
I've tested both the standard FM, the bespoke FM and the method (via transaction SWO1) and they return expected values, but when I call the task in the WF, it fails on IMPORT_FROM_BOR_CONTAINER with "The source and target structure have a different number of fields" Message no. OL383. 
 
The Step <-> Workflow bindings check out OK.
 
Can anyone advise what the problem is, or point me in the direction of how to investigate further,
 
Many thanks
Carol Gordon
