SARA not working as expected on retrieval of WF container

[Sample, Rick]

Hi Eddie!

Customer Message: 14926 / 2011 


In class CL_SWF_CNT_PX_CONTAINER->INSTANTIATE, if no valid BOR object can be instantiated, it gets caught in an infinite loop in the below code. No matter how you slice it, getting stuck in an infinite loop should not be allow. Simple fix. 

***** pick up all contob-lines belonging to this id.*
IF l_contob_index <= l_contob_max. <---- Since no BOR, this will never work!
DO.
 …

*** RLS: when it calls the method that gets the contob, that is when the counter gets mucked up. Can't create an instance since the data is gone for the BOR. 

ENDDO. " pick up objects.


Reproduce:
SARA->Read->Execute.
Enter the BOR object that can no longer be instantiated for an WF that is archived off. <zWhatEverBOR>, key, execute.
Then, navigate the the Container tab and it will hour glass.

I have example in RD0-110 and show & tell is quick.


Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick,

Do you know the customer message number? I can take a look.

Hey folks!

Please bare with me. My knowledge on archiving is limited.

We have custom tables that a custom BOR object is based on and only the WF is being archived.
It is a WF Approval process and the actual data is short lived and dumped after 120 days. i.e. "deleted".

The data is deleted in 120 days, the WF is archived some time after that deletion.
It appears to archive off just fine but when I go into SARA and try to retrieve the Container data,
it hour glasses. The SAP code is stuck in a DO ... ENDDO loop. Can't instantiate a BOR and SARA gets hung.

I debugged to the offending code and put in a Customer Message.

What I would like to know, was it ever meant to work without the BOR object? Meaning,
"must" I have the BOR object to archive and expect to retrieve the container data of the WF?

Rick
