should give some information on why this is happening. (It is not advised to leave the Event log

switched in Production for long periods as it may cause performane issues. Switch off once the

linkage is deactivated)

What event is triggering the workflow? Is it SAP standard or a custom designed event. Sometimes

with custom designed/raised events, not all information is passed from the event to the

receiver/workflow and so will cause deactivation.

In order to analyse the event container you could do the following: Define a new entry in SWE2:

Enter the Event, for the receiver type enter a user name (your user name), and for the receiver

function module enter SWE_EVENT_MAIL. You will then get the event container in an email for

every event and can see if some data is missing. It could be possible that a mandatory input

element in the workflow is not passed from the event.
