Automatic Workflow Customizing needs to be undone

Hello all,
I am embarrased to report that I have caused problems in our production system by doing automatic workflow customizing using transaction SWU3.  We are on ECC5.0 and do use workflow on a limited basis.  We were planning to make more use of it, which is why I was looking at it.  I was looking at SAP note 332149.
How can I reverse the damage I've caused?  SBWP inboxes are full on workflow items - 900,000 items in one.  Short dumps are occurring with alarming frequency.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
Regards,
Paul

My  question has not been answered, but the problem has been curtailed.
What I eventually was able to find out, what that after doing the automatic workflow configuration, workflow went and acted upon all the old "Status 29" idocs in our system.  I had to run report SWWDHEX to delete all these idocs.  Once deleted, all inboxes returned to normal.

  • SWU3 - Automatic workflow customizing

    Hi All,
    We have a situation where all users are receiving error messages in their SBWP inbox. most of them are related to error processing with IDoc. the user inboxes are flooded with error message and they are not able to open their SBWP.
    It seems that in SWU3 - automatic workflow customizing setting "Idoc interface" is active.
    Path : SWU3 > "Classify Task as General" > IDoc Interface (checked).
    We need to deactivate this Idoc interface but we are not able to do the same. Can some one let us know how to do this.
    Also if there is some other cause of this problem then please let us know. Currently we are purging the error workitems but they keep on generating in the background.
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Rohit

    Hi,
    We need to deactivate this Idoc interface but we are not able to do the same. Can some one let us know how to do this.
    For this purpose you need to contact BASIS team to deactivate this.
    Alternate solution :
    Get the task id of that workitem. Open it through tcode PFTC and make the task attribute form to "General Task" to "Forwarding not allowed".
    Run PFCT
    Enter tour Task id ( eg. TS00008068 , please remove leading TS )
    Addition data >>> Agent assignment >>> Maintain >>> Attributes
    Form the next run of the workflow workitem will not reach to SBWP.
    For the workitems you need to delete mannualy or forward it to a idle user.
    Thanks and regards,

  • Error while executing Automatic Workflow Customizing

    Hi!!!!!!
    In ECC6.0, i need to activate all the workflows in SWU3 (Automatic Workflow Customizing), but i was able to activate only some of the steps, remaining is still in red mark. While executing "Schedule Background Job for Missed Deadlines", it is giving error as "Object with runtime number '                                                0' not defined". So please let me know how to resolve this issue.

  • Automatic Workflow Customizing

    HI!
    I am doing configurations in BI-system for the purpose to create connection between BI-system and SAP source system. According to documentation I must "Perform automatic workflow customizing". May I omit this?
    Thanks,
    Olga

    hi,
    condition evaluation job, searches for forks in workitems and logically deletes branches which are no longer needed. Suppose you have a fork, 1 out of 2, at the momen of creation 2 workitems are created, if one of these are met, the second one still exists, untill the conditon job runs it then logically deletes the not needed branch.
    event queue, is something like workload balancing (see also tr SWEQADM) basically it consists of 2 parts, the interval and the number of events. suppose the interval is every 5 minutes and the number of events is 100. Suppose at one time 1000 events are fired, if the event queue was not set, the system would handle all of these events this has a high impact on a productive environment, with the event queue, the events are handled in bundles of 100 every 5 minutes.

  • Urgent: Issue in Automatic workflow Customizing.

    hi,
    Can someone please help me with this issue in Automatic workflow customizing ( SWU3)
    When I try to execute the step
    Maintain Runtime Environment > Schedule Background Jobs with missed deadlines
    I get the error message saying
    "Output Device "" not known"
    Can someone help me how to resolve this? This is very urgent for me.
    Regards,
    Sam K

    The guidelines tell you not use the word urgent in your message title, so please don't. Personally I  try to not answer such questions until at least one day has passed, giving you some time to cool off and perhaps solve the problem on your own.
    I can't recall seing this message myself, but my guess is that either your user or the user WF-BATCH (if the job is being scheduled with that user) has a default printer (output device) that is not defined in the system.

  • Problems with Automatic Workflow Customizing

    Hi!
    I am having problems with Automatic Workflow Customizing (SWU3). I am trying to execute "Configure RFC Destination" manually. I receive the message "Synchronization of passwords failed".
    We are using CUA and it is therefor not possible to create the user from SWU3 which means that WF-BATCH has been created in CUA with a pw which is then filled in by me when executing "Configure RFC Destination".
    WF-BATCH has authorization SAP_NEW, SAP_ALL
    My user also has SAP_NEW and SAP_ALL and usergroup SUPER.
    Does anyone know what might be the problem?
    Sincerley
    Anders Öhrling

    Hello Anders,
    Check if the user is locked in SU01. Then check if your user has been created in CUA.
    It is recommended to delete WF_BATCH. The system will auto create the user ID WF-BATCH and synchronize the password.
    Do let me know if your problem is resolved.
    Thank you.

  • How to execute automatic Workflow customizing settings in swu3 transaction

    Hi Folks,
    We are trying to execute automatic Workflow customizing settings in swu3 transaction.My basis team has done all settings except maintain prefix numbers" and "check entries from HR control tables.Basis team is asking us to do these settings(either functional/abaper). When I am trying to execute check entries from HR control tables am getting an error.Please find attached screenshot of the same.
    Maintain Prefix numbers settings is maintained but still it is showing red.
    Please suggest how should I be doing this.
    Regards
    Jaya

    Hi Jaya,
    Maintain Prefix Number -  As far as my knowledge concerned Prefix number is required to create the Org determination rule. Org. determination rule contains the eight digits, in which first 3 digits come from the prefix number.
    1. Use the T-Code SWU3
    2. Go to Maintain Definition Environment
    3. Click on Maintain Prefix number and click f8 (execute).
    4. Create new entry with
         a) three digit prefix number (unique)
         b) Sap system
         c) Client
         d) Package
    I hope this will help you. Kindly attach the screen shot of the error.
    Regards,
    Dinesh.

  • Undoing automatic workflow customizing swu3

    Hi *,
    I did an automatic workflow customizing with transaction SWU3 on SAP R/3 System. Is it possible to undo the workflow customizing automatically?
    BR, Rene.

    Hello Rene,
    No, but I'm curious to know why you would want to do this?
    Undoing the customising is not difficult. If you want to prevent anything workflow related from running, just disable the RFC destination WORKFLOW_LOCAL_<client>. You can also unschedule all the jobs such as deadline monitoring etc from the workflow transaction menu.
    Cheers,
    Mike

  • Automatic workflow customizing :Schedule background job for condition evalu

    Hai,
    I have one problem in automatic customizing SWU3(Maintain runtime environment)-Schedule background job for condition evaluation.
    How to turn  green tick from red cross? All other steps are OK in SWU3 except this problem.
    Please give me some tips.
    -Jaheer
    _______Thanks in terms of BIG points_______________________

    Hi Jaheer
    If the only red cross is next to the condition evaluation job, I suppose you could just schedule up the job automatically in SM36. Just be sure that the RFC Destination is correctly configured.
    The program that you need to schedule is <b>RSWWCOND</b>. The SAP default is to call the job SWWCOND and schedule it to run every 30min. That should get rid of the red cross. And if not, you might find along the way why the Auto-Customising didn't work.
    Cheers

  • Reset Automatic Workflow Customizing(SWU3) in Classify Tasks as General?

    Hello Guys,
    I have a problem when in SWU3 as part of post-processing after client copies, I have performed activation in the Classify Tasks as General so now all the items there are in green mark. I have learned from the workflow team that this should have not been done as it flooded every users mailbox with about 2000 tasks and they are also in the midst of testing so the sending of unnecessary extra items through not assigning tasks in agents led to very slow response/processing  in workflow inbox functionality as well as may annoy users inbox. Do you know how to set this back as the tasks will not be General but per agent? Desperately need your advice. =(
    Regards,
    Jennah

    Hello,
    I don't think SWU3 sets all the tasks to General task.
    As I understand it, a task will only be sent to all users if:
    1) it's a General task    and
    2)  "Terminate if Rule Resolution has no Result" is not checked for the task   and
    3) No agent was found for the task
    In your case I suspect "Terminate if Rule Resolution has no Result" hasn't been made use of often enough.

  • Automatic Workflow Customizing - Check entries from HR Control Tables

    Hi All
    I am preparing the R/3 system before a ESS MSS implementation.
    When I execute Transaction SWU3 I have a few red cross marks. Few of those are because the Gateway addresses are not specified and Webserver path is not specified.
    The bit that I am worried about is
    Check entries from HR Control Tables
    SAP Documentation says
    *To solve problems of this type, use the report RHTTCP77.
    If there are errors regarding the transport objects PDST or PDWS, the relevant entries are not maintained in table SOBJ. You can use the report RHSOBJCH to rectify this later.*
    I want to know the implications of correcting the entries with the report RHSOBJCH. Will it affect the configuration which has been done on the system for the business processes?
    When I fire off
    Consistency Check for Event Linkages
    there are a whole bunch of errors which are thrown. Can I Activate/Deactivate the linkages
    Wanted to make sure that there will be no knock on effects. Do I need to consider something else regarding these issues?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Sriram,
    I have also faced a similar issue.
    Running the mentioned reports did not cause any problem for my case.
    Only after running the reports and generating the task was I able to remove the red cross mark.
