Application error in event log

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi David, 
Application error could be any number of things - depending on the application - up to and including "you didn't pass me the data I was expecting".
Yes you need to get the up-to-date version of the Practical Workflow book. 
If you are on ECC 6.0 when you go into SWU8 you have menu options to both activate the trace and then you can use the menu options to create a trace entry.  So just look around the menu within SWU8 and you should be fine.
Regards,
Jocelyn

Hello Jocelyn,
Thank you for the information. In answer to your questions:
1. I have checked the step history but this does not help much. Does an application error not mean a data error.
2. I will check the bindings
3. The version of 'Practical Workflow' is a 2002 version. I was not aware that there was a later version but I will get it.
4. We are on the latest version of NW ECC 6.0. I think the workflow trace may be my only solution. Please elaborate on how to get the trace to work. When I go to SWU8 I find my workflow so I activate it and run the workflow but the workflow does not appear at the bottom of the screen from SWU8 so not sure how to get that trace displayed.

regards

Hi David,

1. You should also check the Step History tab to see if any further information or clues are shown there.

2. An error message is only ever as good as the programmer who programmed it in.   However in this case the par-for-each error generally indicates a workflow binding problem so I would suggest you check your workflow to task binding.

3. Which version of Practical Workflow for SAP are you referring to?  The original published several years ago or the new one published this year?

4. Which SAP NW platform are you on? The operation of SWU8 and SWU9 is different in different releases.  In the current releases you have to both activate the trace component and create a trace entry - to indicate which workflow/what instances/what time frame you want to run the trace.

Hope that helps.
Regards,
Jocelyn

Hello Workflow experts,
When I tested my workflow using diagnostic tool SWUD and checked  all the various buttons there was no error but when I ran the workflow and checked the event log in transaction SWEL I got the following error:

[cid:image001.jpg at 01CA5318.8B159B50]


I checked this error as far as I could get and I got the answer 'APPLICATION ERROR.

My question is what is the best way to investigate this error. From 'Practical Workflow' it recommends using workflow trace but even though I activated this using transaction SWU8 when I tried to view the trace in SWU9 there was no trace so I guess another question is how do you get the workflow trace to display if this is what you are going to recommend..

Any help would be appreciated

David
