Definition

Category of an error that can occur in a workflow step when or due to processing user input.

Note

The error category for an error is determined using program logic and cannot be configured. However, certain entries in Customizing control whether specific error categories can occur at all (see below in the list of error categories in the Comment column.

Use

Different error categories ensure that a workflow step can be forwarded to various experts if an error occurs.

The following error categories exist:

Error category    Name    Comment

COLLISION    Data Collision    A data collision occurs, for example, if the content of a field has changed in the database during the processing of a form and it is specified in Customizing that this case is to be checked (see collision check within the IMG activity Create Form Scenario).

NO_AUTH    No Authorization

INCONSIST    Inconsistent Data    This error category is used for errors in the business logic - for example, if a certain content does not exist in the check table. For the Inconsistent Data error category, the user is able to forward to work item to an expert. The user is only able to do this if the container element SEND_EXPERT_IF_INCONSISTENT_DATA has the content X in the relevant workflow step.

OBJ_LOCKED    Object is Locked (Only for Background Steps)

WRONG_CUST    Incorrect Customizing    Incorrect Customizing occurs if form scenarios are inconsistent. You can use the IMG activity Check Consistency of Form Scenarios to detect inconsistencies.

POBJEXE    Exception for Process Object

APPEXE    Exception in Application

OTHERS    All Other Categories
