SAP Note 910573 - Structures with incompatible changes

Component : Runtime - Business Workflow

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/910573 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note introduces a corrective report for addressing issues with workflow containers containing structures modified incompatibly. Containers with sequential storage in 'Compatibility Mode' or 'Structure Persistence' may suffer data misalignment due to structure changes like field additions not at the end. The report supports migration by creating backward-compatible structures, identifying affected workflows, and ensuring data continuity. It is crucial to execute the report after making structural changes and before running any new workflows to prevent data discrepancies. Testing and backup precautions are advised for a successful migration.
