Use of SAP_WAPI_PUT_BACK_WORKITEM

Hi,
I have a workflow, where many users can access the same task, and often they by mistake reserve a workitem, and forgets about it. I have found the SAP_WAPI_PUT_BACK_WORKITEM, which puts the item back in status ready. My question is, can I implement this in the PAI thus the workitem is never reserved when a user cancels execution of it (F3). I have tried to do it, but I cannot get it to work. Is it because the status of the workitem, cannot be changed like this, or because of incompetence from my side
Is there a better way to obtaine what I want?
Kind regards
Mikkel

Hi Mikkel,
If your process allows for it, put your step into a loop. If it's a SAP standard method you may need to create your own copy or a wrapper method that intercepts EXIT_CANCELLED and makes it a proper outcome. i.e. one outcome means executed, the other means cancelled and loop around again.
This way backing out completes the item and creates a new one for all users.
Cheers
Mike

  • Cancel and keep workitem in ready state in user decision step

    Hi,
    In a user decision step,there is a default option 'Cancel and keep the work item'.
    Now clicking on this option, the workitem goes into "Inprogress state"
    whereas i want to keep the workitem in "ready state"  after i click on the option 'Cancel and keep the work item'.
    I am trying to modify the Process method of Decision Object type to incorporate this funcationality by using FM "SAP_WAPI_PUT_BACK_WORKITEM.
    but im getting the error that this FM cannot be used at runtime.
    Place where im trying to call this FM:
    After the FM'SWU_PROCESS_MANUEL_DECISION'
    I am getting the value of RESULT.
    If result is SPACE or sy-subrc is not 00 then i am calling this Fm which takes Wi_id of the userdecision as input.
    Kindly help
    Regards

    Hi,
    Let me ask you this. Why you need to have this in "Ready" state, Not in "IN PROCESS" state. Anyway, the witem is still there in the user's inbox, and if you have any deadline monitoring, then this is also taken care with "Cancel and keep xxxx". So, i think, functionally you'll still be better with the existing functionality.
    And, with all this, if you are still trying to change, then i think it's NOT possible. If i understand correctly, you are trying to use the FM "SAP_WAPI_PUT_BACK_WORKITEM" within the PROCESS method. And, if you understood the functionality of how this works, you are trying to set the status of the SAME witem for which you are executing the PROCESS method.
    THe way i understand the behind-the-scenes process, once you make a decision and save, this method is the one which in turn sets the witem status. And within that, you CANNOT capture the status as it is yet to be posted to the Witem tables.
    Probably, after this decision step, use a different background task with the above FM to set the witem status to "Ready", BUT NOT IN THE SAME METHOD of PROCESS.
    Also, it's not advisable to change this std. method.
    Hope this helps you. Reply,if you need more info.

  • How can multiple family members use one account?

    My children have iphones, ipads, ipods and mac books, my problem is how do you use home sharing with the devices and not get each others data.  My Husband just added his iphone to the account and got all of my daughters contacts.  I understand they could have there own accounts but if i buy music on itunes and both children want the same song, I don't feel i should have to pay for it twice.  Is there away we can have home sharing on the devices and they can pick and choose what they want? and is this icloud going to make it harder to keep their devices seperate?

  • Iphoto crashing after using mini-dvi to video adapter

    Hi, IPhoto on my Macbook is crashing. I can open it, then as soon as I scroll down it locks up and I have to force quit.
    This started happening right after I used a Mini-DVI to Video Adapter cable to hook my macbook up to my TV. The adapter/s-video connection worked and I was able to see the video on the tv. But iphoto immediately locked up the computer when I went to slide show and now it locks every time I open it.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you:)

    It means that the issue resides in your existing Library.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Using SQVI to generate report of open and released delivery schedule lines

    All,
    I'm using SQVI  to generate an excel spreadsheet for some buyers to show open released schedule lines because they are a 1 line item per scheduling agreement company.
    I used the logical database MEPOLDB instead of a table joint and pulled fields from EKKO(vendor, SA #,&purchasing group), EKPO(Material Number), EKEH(schedule line type), and EKET(delivery date, scheduled qty,previous qty).
    Does this sound like I'll get the results I want on paper as long as I use the right selection criteria, because the report I'm getting isn't quite what I expect? I am unable to identify which lines are authorized to ship vs. trade-off zone, planning, etc. in the report thus far.

    Hi Mark,
                 I have faced same requirement. I am not sure about transporting to TST and PROD. I done by this way.
    After generating SQVI program in DEV , I assigned that program  to a transaction and tested in DEV. Later i have regenarated SQVI in Production. then I assigned the generated Program to same transaction in DEV. And transported the Tcode assignment of program to Production..
    About authorization , if its not sensitive report, BASIS can restrict at transaction level.
    Regards,

  • Using Mini DVI to VGA adapter on MacBook

    I bought the adapter from Apple & hooked up my LCD monitor to the MacBook, but the video I get on the monitor is different that on my laptop. It has an old screen background & the dock but nothing on my desktop shows up. Also, when I'm plugged to the monitor, my dock disappears on the laptop screen. Is there some setting I need to change? It worked fine with my G4 PowerBook.
    Thanks for any help....
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    i use the mini dvi-vga adapter in my classroom almost everyday. It sounds like your new monitor is running as a side by side monitor to your display instead of a "replacement" display.
    To get your projector/monitor to basically show whatever is on your macbook screen once you've hooked up press F7....this should make your projector/monitory become your display with your dock & all of your desktop stuff. Your new monitor will completely mirror your display.
    THis should do what you're looking for.

  • Using mini-DVI to VGA adapter to Samsung display

    I have 2009 late model of mac mini, The text on display looks washed out, not clear or sharp at all from day one, I thought it was the old model of monitor, tried the same cable to another monitor on another computer, SAME. so I thought the problem could be the cable or adapter.
    It's hard for me to believe is the signal from computer. I'm using VGA adapter made by Dynex bought from Best Buy.
    Anybody has suggestions?? Thanks

    Yeah, My old Samsung is lcd synmaster 17", bought many years ago at around $1000. Crazy, crazy price looked back. It's fine when I used it on the retired old Dell. It must be the adapter, trying not to buy another VGA adapter, could not image my next lcd will use one, anyway.
    This cable has only 14 pins vs 15 pins on the other cable, not sure if it matters?? Or if Safari has anything to do with it??
    Thank for you reply...

  • Using S-Video w/ the Mini DVI to Video Adapter

    I just purchased a MacBook last week and I also purchased a Mini DVI to Video adapter for it so I can use the built-in DVD player to watch movies on my TV. I have a composite to composite cable and that worked fine when I connected the cable between the Mini DVI to Video Adapter and my TV. However, when I tried to use a S-Video cable and connected that between the Mini DVI to Video Adapter and my TV; then I got no picture at all. All I saw on the TV was a picture of the MAC desktop w/o the dock and the movie or nothing else played at all.
    Is the composite connection a better connection for the MAC, or, are there some settings I need to work with on the MAC to get the S-Video connection to work?

    I managed to figure this one out, by fluke. The MacBook has to be powered on and ready for user input prior to connecting the mini DVI to video adapter with the s video already connected to it, and to the TV. Once I did it this way, it worked fine. I just thought I'd share this.

  • Using a mini-DVI to video adapter

    I have connected the video adapter and everything works fine. I use the internet for my video source and I was just wondering, is it possible to have video playing fullscreen on the tv and have another window open on my desktop that I can work with without disrupting the video from the browser? Every time I watch something I am unable to work on my computer while the video is playing.

    As far as I know, you can't go full screen on one monitor without it interfering with the other. I believe this would require a second video card, which isn't possible for a MacBook.

  • Display problems using mini-dvi to video adapter

    I recently purchased the mini-dvi to video adapter for my powerbook to use my TV as a monitor and to play pictures and videos from the laptop to the TV. I am getting a full color display on the TV, but it's only the screen saver. None of my files, text, or any other desktop folders or menus appear when I open them up on the laptop. The only screen that opens is the display preferences when I open that up, but it's a different set of preferences than what's in my computer's display preferences, as it's header is "NTSC/PAL". But other than that 1 menu, nothing is appearing but the screen saver.

    OK, I discovered that I didn't know what I was doing. With the Mini-DVI to video adapter, you need to use an S-Video cable that plugs into an S-video jack on the TV, and then you need a separate cable to plug into the audio out jack on the MacBook to plug into the TV.
    I think you could also use an S-video to RCA component cable if you have a TV with component video input, but I couldn't get that to work so I went to the s-video to s-video cable.

  • Resolution using Mini-DVI to Video Adapter

    I have a Mini-DVI to Video Adapter that I connect to a television set. When I connect it my resolution drops from 1280x800 on my MacBook to 1024x768 on the television. On the MacBook tech specs screen it says: "Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 1920 by 1200 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colours".
    Is it just something that I'll have to live with when switching to the television, or is there any way that I can increase this resolution?

    You can make the TV the main monitor by dragging the menu bar to it in the "Arrangement" pane of "Displays" System Preference, or if you connect the power adapter and an external mouse and keyboard, just close the lid. It will sleep, but will wake when you use the mouse or keyboard.

  • IPhoto slideshow using mini-dvi to video adapter

    When using the mini-dvi to video adapter to connect to my widescreen tv (via composite), to show iPhoto slideshows, the transistions between slides dont apear and there are no ken burns effects. The slideshow runs fine on my MacBook display (ie when not conected to the tv), and the is no other distortion or flickering (as reported in other threads), this seems odd to me or is it just a limitation of analogue output.
