ABAP API for MDM work flow

Hi SDN,
I need some information related to ABAP API for MDM workflow. I did search in SDN and I found one solution in a thered posted on Jul-2008.
ABAP API - MDM Workflow execute
My dought is: Do we have any ABAP API for call MDM work flow. Please provide me the solution ASAP. Apprciate for your immediate response.
Regards,
Kumar.

Hi LAKSHMAN ,
To answer your question specifically
Using ABAP api you cannot call MDM workflows as of mdm 5.5 there are no functions specific to calling MDM workflows in ABAP.If you want to implement workflows on ABAP side you need to go for SAP ECC workflows which is a different topic than MDM>
To call MDM workflows over the Java stack ie WAS (SAP portal),You have 2 ways
- UWL
- Guided Procedures.
- UWL is a way of calling MDM workflows on EP.Wherein the workflow design will be done in MDM and it will only be called in portal using appropiate connections and configurations.
You can refer the below links to know more on them:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/771f1a61-0e01-0010-daa9-93a52905da09 (uwl)

- GP is a way where by you need to design the entire workflow on SAP portal the logic can be pertaining to MDM but the design is completely on portal using webdynpros and api.
You can refer the below links to know more on them:

ABAP API For SP06?

Hi
We are trying to integrate MDM (5.5 SP06 Patch 3) with an ECC 6.0 server. We downloaded the MDM TECHNOLOGY 5.5.5.7.00 CAR file from service market place. It was installed successfully in the ECC 6.0 server. But we are unable to find the relevant ABAP component for our MDM version in the "ABAP implementation for MDM version support" of the mdmapic transaction. The components in that table are the ones for SP04 and SP05 but not SP06.
Has anyone successfully used ABAP APIs in their SP06 environment? If yes, then what was the CAR file that was used?
Thanks.
Regards
Swarna

Hi Kanstantsin
In the begininng we had downloaded from the same path you have mentioned.
After raising OSS note SAP responded by saying that - the installations should be downloaded from the path:
Download ->
Support Packages and Patches ->
Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group ->
SAP NetWeaver ->
SAP MDM ->
SAP MDM 5.5 ->
Entry by Component ->
ABAP API for NW 7.0
After doing that we are able to see the SP06 components.
But now when i try the sample code in the ABAP API How to guide, for creating a repository through API, i'm getting an error -
"Server return code 0X84020003: DCNI_MSG_ErrInitDB"
I verified the ip (same for server host and dbms host), port (20005), dbms username/password. They all seem to be fine.
Has anyone faced this issue before?
Thanks
Swarna

ABAP API for KM ??

Hi guys,
I have seen a couple threads in this forum regarding the ABAP API for KM but nothing concrete as yet. Also alot of the links seem to be non existent now ;-(
If I go onto our SAP system and go to SE24 I can see a good couple classed related to KM by typing something like CL_KMC*.....
But what is the recommended approach to take? In my scenario I have an ABAP Webdynpro and I need to both UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD files to KM......
Should I generate a web service proxy in ABAP that consumes the standard KM web services? Do these web services even allow me to upload and download file to and from the KM area? I believe there is a KM Proxy layer in ABAP ?
Has anyone got some more information on this???
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Chat later
Lynton

I think I will just do the work in Java Webdynpro and use the KM API. It is a pity because I would much rather do it in ABAP Webdynpro, it just seems like nobody has really done it or documented it well...
Thanks anyway

ABAP APIs for DDIC?

Hi all,
Is there any ABAP API for DDIC? I wanted to manipulate DDIC structures and types from code, for example, change names, create a new DDIC object, add a new field to an existed table.
I guess we have that but I didn't find any documents on this topic. Please help, Thanks a lot.
Best regards.

Reg: Java API for MDM work flow

Hi,
I am using MDM java API (Version: 5.5 SP 06 Patch 2) for webdynpro. I am creating a record in MDM using MDM java API. Once the record gets created in MDM i need to call the MDM workflow. Is there any java API available to call the MDM workflow into webdynpro. If that is not possible, what is the alternative to call the MDM workflow into webdynpro.
Kindly suggest.
Thanks,
Prasanthi.

Hi Prasanthi,
You need to use the three main classes to work with MDM Workflows
1. RetrieveWorkflowTasksCommand
2. WorkflowTask
Both of the above classes are used to retrieve the current workflow tasks.
3. WorkflowTaskAction
4. WorkflowActionMenuNode
Above classes tells the possible actions of the workflow task.
You will find more information about the above classes in the Java docs
I would still suggest to use UWL if you dont need any customization.

Error handling in Abap Class for SAP Workflow

Hi Experts,
I would like to know if we have an option in abap classes used in workflows to send errors to the workflow log. We can achieve this in BOR Object methods by using the EXIT_RETURN <CODE> var 1 var 2 to send the errors back to the workflow, but how is this achieved through methods from classes used in workflows.
Appreciate your quick responses,
Chaitanya

Just raise exceptions in the normal OO way. Any exception that is a subclass of CX_BO_ERROR should be automatically available in workflow. Use subclasses of CX_BO_TEMPORARY for temporary errors.

ABAP API for XML Validate(by schema)

Issue in notification API for oracle workflow

Hi,
I am facing issue in sending oracle workflow notification. i have created a simple workflow with a process.
I wrote one package which is creating adhoc role and sending the notification through api I(wf_notification.send).
I am able to get the notification as well as email notification but without attribute values. My workflow attributes are getting replaced by null, but message body is appearing.
Please help me, its urgent.
Thanks

I doubt that Oracle 7 DB is not supported. You may consider raising a SR with support.

ABAP API to store DATE value in MDM 5.5

Hello All,
Currently I am working on MDM 5.5 and need to have some suggestions on ABAP API Function module to store date values in MDM.
We have interface from where we take the user input which updates the field value back in the MDM.
On the basis of similar scenario we have "DATE" field on the interface which will update the date and time in MDM, also we are making use of ABAP API for development.
The problem is that data type mismatch is happening between MDM and ABAP API,please let me know which ABAP API Function module should we use which simply accepts the DATE and TIME for every single record.
Source code provided will be much more appreciable.
Regards,
Swapnil

Hi Swapnil.
In the same link provided by Sudhanshu, can you navigate to the node "Retrieving Complex Types".
It has sample codes and MDM interfaces for TimeStamp, Time Stamp, User Stamp, Literal Date, Literal Time etc.
As suggested, you can also try to use the type MDM_CDT_DATE_TIME.
See the sample code provided in the link as below:
Type: MDM Literal date:
    CLEAR lv_date.
    CONVERT TIME STAMP ls_result_ddic_ex-fieldliteraldate-content TIME ZONE sy-zonlo INTO DATE lv_date.
    WRITE: AT (10) lv_date, '|'.
Type: MDM Literal time:
    CLEAR lv_time.
    CONVERT TIME STAMP ls_result_ddic_ex-fieldliteraltime-content TIME ZONE sy-zonlo INTO TIME lv_time.
    WRITE: AT (10) lv_time, '|'.

Bala
