ABAP Class reference in persistent container

Hi all,
Has anyone ever tried to read an abap class reference from a rule container in the rule's function module?
This doesn't seem to work, unless I am doing something wrong...
Here is the scenario:
I have an abap class ZCL_CLASS instantiated in my workflow container. In one of my workflow steps I pass that class object reference to a rule (Function Module based). In the rule function module I use macro swc_get_element to try to get the class object reference. And there it is not getting anything.
I have already tried the following:
- Try to run macro swc_container_to_runtime on the rule container before retrieving the object reference -> doesn't work. The internal table ac_container doesn't even look different before and after having run this macro.
- Try to replace the declaration of include <CNTN01> by <CNTN02> + <CNTN03>. Doesn't change anything either.
When I look at ac_container in debugging it seems my object reference is there but looks a bit strange:
ELEMENT | TAB_INDEX | ELEMLENGTH | TYPE | VALUE
WFIBF_PORTAB | 000011 | 004 | u | SWFTSTRUCT
WFIBF_PORTAB | 000012 | 032 | C | STEP
WFIBF_PORTAB | 000014 | 032 | C | 1CCC1000C
WFIBF_PORTAB | 000015 | 104 | C | <object key> <class> CL
Any idea of how I should proceed to retrieve my object reference?
For the moment the workaround I found is to pass the object key to the rule and to reinstantiate the class in the rule function module. Not a very elegant solution...
Thanks in advance and kind regards,
Patrick

Hi Mike,
I understand what you're saying. But the problem is that the swc_get_element macro does not even get me the LPOR value, and therefore I can't call the FIND_BY_LPOR method.
That means I have two solutions:
- Passing the LPOR instead of the object reference to the rule container => Not a very nice solution, for many different reasons.
- Find an alternative to swc_get_element to get the LPOR value.
I had a look at class cl_swf_cnt_container, and it seems it can do the trick for me.
So what I will finally do is:
1. Convert the BOR container into an instance of cl_swf_cnt_container.
DATA: lo_cnt    TYPE REF TO if_swf_cnt_container,
             lt_container TYPE swconttab.
lt_container[] = ac_container[].
TRY.
      CALL METHOD cl_swf_cnt_container=>if_swf_cnt_conversion~create_from_bor_container
        EXPORTING
          values                = lt_container
        RECEIVING
          container           = lo_cnt.
    CATCH cx_swf_utl_obj_create_failed.
ENDTRY.
2. Get my container element.
DATA: lo_myobj TYPE REF TO zcl_class.
CALL METHOD lo_cnt->if_swf_ifs_parameter_container~get
EXPORTING
    name       = 'MyContainerElement'
IMPORTING
    value      = lo_myobj
I didn't take the time to debug that deep in the standard SAP code, but I assume the if_swf_ifs_parameter_container~get re-instantiates my class for me.
Please feel free to comment.
Kind regards,
Patrick

BOR reference in ABAP Class

Hello,
I am writing method in ABAP class which I will link to the Workflow Step. I want to access values of one of the Workflow Element which is Multiline and refering to BOR Object Type. My queries are as below:
1. How should I define Importing Parameter of Method which will import values from the Workflow Element which is Multiline and refering to BOR object type.
2. If I change value of that Workflow Element (Multipline refering to BOR object type) in ABAP class method, will it be automatically reflected in Workflow Container due to binding?
Edited by: Ashwin Sonkusare on Apr 1, 2011 3:35 PM

Hi,
1. How should I define Importing Parameter of Method which will import values from the Workflow Element which is Multiline and refering to BOR object type.
Please create a table type same as workflow multiline element type. ( You can also use standard table if present ).
Then use this table type as the type of the import parameter of the class.
Then u can pass the multiline element of workflow to abab calss
2. If I change value of that Workflow Element (Multipline refering to BOR object type) in ABAP class method, will it be automatically reflected in Workflow Container due to binding?
If u change the Workflow Element (Multipline refering to BOR object type) in ABAP class method, then u need to update the values of the workflow multiline element through reverse binging ( binding abap class to WF ).
Thanks and regards,

ABAP class or function for retrieving BEx query properties at runtime

Hello Experts,
I'm working on BADI RSR_OLAP_BADI and for a special calculation I need to know which characteristics are in the drill-down of the BEX query, sol later on I can aggregate some key figures using only these characteristics.
Problem is that structure C_s_DATA in method COMPUTE contains all fields of the query (filters, free chars, chars in the rows, etc) and I need to now which characteristics are currently being showing in the Bex analyzer.
So is there an ABAP class or function module I can use to find out this kind of information at run time?
Any suggestion?
Thank you

Tank you for the feedback,
I tried to use the class you provided, but I'm stuck now in how to get from within my class that implements RSR_OLAP_BADI interface, a handle, reference, o whatever represent my runtime query (not the query at design time) . As the class you provide must be instantiated before I can use
In pseudo code could be something like this
DATA my_query type query_ref.
my_query = get_rt_query().
my_query->get_state()

[WF Attributes] DDIC vs ABAP class

Hi,
I am having a hard time understanding which CL (ABAP Class) does not behave like DDIC structure.
I use both in my Workflow but I cannot manage to pass data (meaning reference) and trigger the Workflow
- from the FM 'SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW'
- from an event
Am I forced to use the IF_WORKFLOW (I don't see why I have to use the FIND_BY_LPOR method ??) ?
-> if the static method FIND_BY_LPOR is returning the value, what has gone all the job in the first place ?)
I have simply created a customer-specific class that would avoid me adding new structure to the Workflow container and the Workflow Tasks again and again... simply extend the class and the element will all follow.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Guillaume

Hello Guillaume,
I know this is closed but an interesting discussion nevertheless. The first part I am confused about is what exactly you are trying to accomplish and why:

Why can you not do this with a DDIC structure? I use this a lot. Particularly useful if you work with MOVE CORRESPONDING in your code. Just extend the structure and new fields are automatically transported (if they exist in the DB of course).
OO in WF is generally used in the same way as a BOR. The distinction is Business Object versus an OO class as you would use in an ABAP program.

As far as I know (and understand your point) it is not possible. Maybe someone disagrees with me, but I am happy to hear about that. The object instantiates itself whenever it is needed in the workflow. And during the instantiation you need to populate the attributes of the object, etc...
Correct, but.... if you are really determined, there are some tricks you can use: Who cares whether your object really exists in the DB, as long as your FIND_BY_LPOR always returns an instance. If this is always the same instance it can work. The thing to be careful of is that you MUST have an unbroken chain of tasks that execute in the same logon/RFC session. Once that session ends (e.g. by switching users/background tasks) the data is gone. Needless to say you need to know exactly what you're doing.

Abap Class - Friend

Hello Forum,
What is the 'Friend' defined in a Class?
What is its role and how is it used together with Methods?
Any easy to understand materials on Abap class would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Best regards,
S.Patel

Hi
Classes
LIKE-Zusatz
Classes are templates for objects. Conversely, you can say that the type of an object is the same as its class. A class is an abstract description of an object. You could say that it is a set of instructions for building an object. The attributes of objects are defined by the components of the class, which describe the state and behavior of objects.
Local and Global Classes
Classes in ABAP Objects can be declared either globally or locally. You define global classes and interfaces in the Class Builder (Transaction SE24) in the ABAP Workbench. They are stored centrally in class pools in the class library in the R/3 Repository. All of the ABAP programs in an R/3 System can access the global classes. Local classes are defined within an ABAP program. Local classes and interfaces can only be used in the program in which they are defined. When you use a class in an ABAP program, the system first searches for a local class with the specified name. If it does not find one, it then looks for a global class. Apart from the visibility question, there is no difference between using a global class and using a local class.
There is, however, a significant difference in the way that local and global classes are designed. If you are defining a local class that is only used in a single program, it is usually sufficient to define the outwardly visible components so that it fits into that program. Global classes, on the other hand, must be able to be used anywhere. This means that certain restrictions apply when you define the interface of a global class, since the system must be able to guarantee that any program using an object of a global class can recognize the data type of each interface parameter.
The following sections describe how to define local classes and interfaces in an ABAP program. For information about how to define local classes and interfaces, refer to the Class Builder section of the ABAP Workbench Tools documentation.
Defining Local Classes
Local classes consist of ABAP source code, enclosed in the ABAP statements CLASS ... ENDCLASS. A complete class definition consists of a declaration part and, if required, an implementation part. The declaration part of a class <class> is a statement block:
CLASS <class> DEFINITION.
ENDCLASS.
It contains the declaration for all components (attributes, methods, events) of the class. When you define local classes, the declaration part belongs to the global program data. You should therefore place it at the beginning of the program.
If you declare methods in the declaration part of a class, you must also write an implementation part for it. This consists of a further statement block:
CLASS <class> IMPLEMENTATION.
ENDCLASS.
The implementation part of a class contains the implementation of all methods of the class. The implementation part of a local class is a processing block. Subsequent coding that is not itself part of a processing block is therefore not accessible.
Structure of a Class
The following statements define the structure of a class:
A class contains components
Each component is assigned to a visibility section
Classes implement methods
The following sections describe the structure of classes in more detail.
Class Components
The components of a class make up its contents. All components are declared in the declaration part of the class. The components define the attributes of the objects in a class. When you define the class, each component is assigned to one of the three visibility sections, which define the external interface of the class. All of the components of a class are visible within the class. All components are in the same namespace. This means that all components of the class must have names that are unique within the class.
There are two kinds of components in a class - those that exist separately for each object in the class, and those that exist only once for the whole class, regardless of the number of instances. Instance-specific components are known as instance components. Components that are not instance-specific are called static components.
In ABAP Objects, classes can define the following components. Since all components that you can declare in classes can also be declared in interfaces, the following descriptions apply equally to interfaces.
Attributes
Attributes are internal data fields within a class that can have any ABAP data type. The state of an object is determined by the contents of its attributes. One kind of attribute is the reference variable. Reference variables allow you to create and address objects. Reference variables can be defined in classes, allowing you to access objects from within a class.
Instance Attributes
The contents of instance attributes define the instance-specific state of an object. You declare them using the DATA statement.
Static Attributes
The contents of static attributes define the state of the class that is valid for all instances of the class. Static attributes exist once for each class. You declare them using the CLASS-DATA statement. They are accessible for the entire runtime of the class.
All of the objects in a class can access its static attributes. If you change a static attribute in an object, the change is visible in all other objects in the class.
Methods
Methods are internal procedures in a class that define the behavior of an object. They can access all of the attributes of a class. This allows them to change the data content of an object. They also have a parameter interface, with which users can supply them with values when calling them, and receive values back from them The private attributes of a class can only be changed by methods in the same class.
The definition and parameter interface of a method is similar to that of function modules. You define a method <met> in the definition part of a class and implement it in the implementation part using the following processing block:
METHOD <meth>.
ENDMETHOD.
You can declare local data types and objects in methods in the same way as in other ABAP procedures (subroutines and function modules). You call methods using the CALL METHOD statement.
Instance Methods
You declare instance methods using the METHODS statement. They can access all of the attributes of a class, and can trigger all of the events of the class.
Static Methods
You declare static methods using the CLASS-METHODS statement. They can only access static attributes and trigger static events.
Special Methods
As well as normal methods, which you call using CALL METHOD, there are two special methods called CONSTRUCTOR and CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR, which are automatically called when you create an object (CONSTRUCTOR) or when you first access the components of a class (CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR).
Events
Objects or classes can use events to trigger event handler methods in other objects or classes. In a normal method call, one method can be called by any number of users. When an event is triggered, any number of event handler methods can be called. The link between the trigger and the handler is not established until runtime. In a normal method call, the calling program determines the methods that it wants to call. These methods must exist. With events, the handler determines the events to which it wants to react. There does not have to be a handler method registered for every event.
The events of a class can be triggered in the methods of the same class using the RAISE EVENT statement. You can declare a method of the same or a different class as an event handler method for the event <evt> of class <class> using the addition FOR EVENT <evt> OF <class>.
Events have a similar parameter interface to methods, but only have output parameters. These parameters are passed by the trigger (RAISE EVENT statement) to the event handler method, which receives them as input parameters.
The link between trigger and handler is established dynamically in a program using the SET HANDLER statement. The trigger and handlers can be objects or classes, depending on whether you have instance or static events and event handler methods. When an event is triggered, the corresponding event handler methods are executed in all registered handling classes.
Instance Events
You declare instance events using the EVENTS statement. An instance event can only be triggered in an instance method.
Static Events
You declare static events using the CLASS-EVENTS statement. All methods (instance and static methods) can trigger static events. Static events are the only type of event that can be triggered in a static method.
See also Triggering and Handling Events.
Types
You can define your own ABAP data types within a class using the TYPES statement. Types are not instance-specific, and exist once only for all of the objects in a class.
Constants
Constants are special static attributes. You set their values when you declare them, and they can then no longer be changed. You declare them using the CONSTANTS statement. Constants are not instance-specific, and exist once only for all of the objects in a class.
Visibility Sections
You can divide the declaration part of a class into up to three visibility areas:
CLASS <class> DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
PROTECTED SECTION.
PRIVATE SECTION.
ENDCLASS.
These areas define the external visibility of the class components, that is, the interface between the class and its users. Each component of a class must be assigned to one of the visibility sections.
Public Section
All of the components declared in the public section are accessible to all users of the class, and to the methods of the class and any classes that inherit from it. The public components of the class form the interface between the class and its users.
Protected Section
All of the components declared in the protected section are accessible to all methods of the class and of classes that inherit from it. Protected components form a special interface between a class and its subclasses. Since inheritance is not active in Release 4.5B, the protected section currently has the same effect as the private section.
Private Section
Components that you declare in the private section are only visible in the methods of the same class. The private components are not part of the external interface of the class.
Encapsulation
The three visibility areas are the basis for one of the important features of object orientation - encapsulation. When you define a class, you should take great care in designing the public components, and try to declare as few public components as possible. The public components of global classes may not be changed once you have released the class.
For example, public attributes are visible externally, and form a part of the interface between an object and its users. If you want to encapsulate the state of an object fully, you cannot declare any public attributes. As well as defining the visibility of an attribute, you can also protect it from changes using the READ-ONLY addition.

How to use application class reference in the controller methods of BSP

Hi,
I have created a bsp application and also created an application class and assigned it to the application class. In the application class, I have created attribute TEXT type string(public and instance parameter).
In the controller let's say main.do, I am trying to give a value to to the text by adding the following code.
application->text = 'test'.
I am getting syntax error saying field 'text' is unknown. It is not contained in one of the specified tables nor defined by DATA statement.
Please can someone let me know how to use the application class in the coding with an example. I couldn't find how exactly this has to be reference. Please help.
Best regards
Siva

Hi,
if you are having main controller and sub-controller then you may need to use below coding to use application class reference.
*Data declaration
DATA: obj_cntrl        TYPE REF TO cl_bsp_controller2,
         obj_sub_cntrl   TYPE REF TO z_cl_sub_cntl,
         application TYPE REF TO z_cl_application.
*Get the controller
CALL METHOD obj_main_cntrl->get_controller   "obj_main_cntrl is the object of main controller
    EXPORTING
      controller_id       = 'SUB'   "Controller ID
    RECEIVING
      controller_instance = obj_cntrl .
obj_sub_cntrl ?= obj_cntrl .
application ?= obj_sub_cntrl ->application.
or simply use below code in your controller method.
application ?= me->application.

File to Proxy Scenario using ABAP Class and DB Multi Connect

Hello Friends,
I have a scenario below and a proposed solution. I would like some input as to whether i am headed the right way.
Scenario: Thousands of records come in from the legacy accounting system. The fields of these records need to be mapped to SAP fields using cross-reference tables stored in DB2. Finally, summarize the records by deleting a few fields and feed to R/3.
Solution i proposed:
(1) File Adapter is used to send the file
(2) Although JDBC adapter comes first to mind but since i need to access the DB2 tables multiple times for each record i propose to use an ABAP class for the mapping. Within the ABAP class the intent is to open an database connection to DB2, read the relevant cross tables using native SQL and finally generate the output XML.
(3) Reciever is Proxy which feeds this generated XML to SAP for creating posting via BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST
Question: Is the above solution correct or is there a better method to implement this scenario?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Minhaj.

Looks fine. Few observations -
1. Whether it is ABAP class or Mapping in RFC lookup, you are making multiple trips to the database.
2. It looks like PI is being used only for reading the file and converting it to XML.
3. If using PI is not mandatory, then a complete ABAP class on ECC it self would be faster than swtching between PI Java, PI ABAP then round trips to DB2 finally data push to ECC.
If you could look at something like fetching all the required RFC look up data in one go and then map the fields according, might save u on processor and network resources.

Calling Portal event from ABAP class

Hi Experts,
I need a following clarificatrion, Please help,
1. Is it possible to call a webdynpro method from a normal ABAP class?
2. If no, we need a functionality of a class 'CL_WDR_HTTP_EXT_MIME_HANDLER' having method 'DO_DOMAIN_RELAX_HTML'.
Is there any alternative method which can be used in ABAP having the same functionality.
3. Is there any ways with which we can call portal event from ABAP class?
Thanks,
Shabir

>1. Is it possible to call a webdynpro method from a normal ABAP class?
I wouldn't necessarily recommend this approach. You shouldn't try to trigger events or any of the standard WDDO* methods from outside the WD Component itself. That said, you can pass the object reference (like the WD_COMP_CONTROLLER object reference or the View Object Reference) into methods of normal classes. Be careful if you are finding yourself calling a lot of your added methods from outside WD. This is probably a sign that these methods should be in the Assistance Class or some other Class functioning as a Model Object.
>2. If no, we need a functionality of a class 'CL_WDR_HTTP_EXT_MIME_HANDLER' having method 'DO_DOMAIN_RELAX_HTML'.
Is there any alternative method which can be used in ABAP having the same functionality.
What exactly do you want to do here? Do you just want to get the relaxation script? For what purpose? You should never need to inject the relaxation script into WDA.
>3. Is there any ways with which we can call portal event from ABAP class?
To what purpose. Do you just want to delegate the triggering of the event that is inside WD Component to be called from a class? If so you can pass the portal API object reference into a class from the WD Component. However this only works while running within WD.
How is this class used? Are you running in WD? Are you trying to generate some HTML code that runs in the portal independent of WD?

XML to flat File:ABAP Class

Hi ,
Please can someone answer my question asap.
I have to write an ABAP Class which receives an XML Document which has multiple IDOCS.The IDOC has several Segments which can repeat and also the segments have Sub-Segments.
Please can someone provide me a sample code which can convert the fields of each segment to a line of the output flat file.
I need a flat file where fields under each segment should come in one line.I mean the control record should come in one line.The fields of 1st segment ex:E1EDK01 should come in 2nd line.....
Please revert.
Thanks in Advance,

How can i use class reference from an array effeciently?

Hi,
I made some test here with getting a class reference from an array and using the reference's methods or variables.
Basically arrayEx is a container of type Array and it contains the Person's class instance in it. Num is a number extracted from the Person's instance
Example #1----Strongly typed
Var reference:Person;
Var num:int;
//Assignation
reference=arrayEx[0];-----IT IS SLOW HERE
//Use
num=reference.number --- IT IS FAST HERE
Example #2---Not typed
Var reference:*;
Var num:int;
//Assignation
reference=arrayEx[0]; ---- IT IS FAST HERE
//Use
num=reference.number ---IT IS SLOW HERE
No matter what i change in both code like casting Person on arrayEx, i cant seem to make them work both fast at the same time
If someone knows how, please tell me,
Dominik

Abap-Class-Event in Wait Step

Hi guys,
in my workflow i have an activity with an abap method. This method works like a dialog. This means, i get a workitem in the business-workplace which shows a webdynpro where a pdf is displayed and where i can choose whether i click on button1 or button2.
When i click on one button, an abap-class event will be created. This event has a container. My target is, to bring the user desicion back to the workflow via event.
When i start a new workflow with this event then it works fine. But i dont want 2 workflows. I need a solution with one workflow. So i use a fork in my workflow. In branch 1 i have the activity which displays the pdf and create the event. In the other branch i have a waiting step, which waits for the event and bring the user-desision from the event-container to my workflow-container.
That was my plan, but it dont works this way. I checked the event-trace and theres no receaiver entered for my event. So my workflow stoped at the wait-step (wait step is ready).
I read, the the workflow system is automatikly doing the type-linkage and the instance-linkage, but i found only the instance-linkage filled. Can it be, that the wait step is only working with BOR-Events?
Any ideas?

Hi swangir,
i tryed this FW SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER some days ago. I can use SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER easylie but when i try to modify the container then i get an enqeue exception in the SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER FM. I guess this came up, because i call the webdynpro from an activie-step in the workflow and not a dialog-step. So i guess the container is locked and i cant write. I also tried to unlock it with dequee_e_ .. FM i forgot the name. But it also didnt work.
Thats why i tryed to bring the user desision via event back to the workflow. And it works, as long i use 2 workflows, like i explained in my first post.
What do u mean with...
"Alternatively, you can bind back the class event container to workflow container by binding back from the dialogue step."

ABAP class in task

Hello,
I'm using a ABAP class in a task, but when I triggers the workflow in this step its gets blocked with the status "in process".
The abap class is public and the method that I'm calling is static, Also I have implemented the IF_WORKFLOW interface to use from the task.
Do you have any sugestion about this to don't get block?
Thanks

Hello Diego,
when using class-based tasks, most exceptions thrown during the prepare and execution steps are generally caught and not beeing forwarded into the workflow log, especially when there's a general problem with the method definition.
In this particular case, the execution of static methods probably runs into an exception, as an instance is (accidently) required, even though -- by definition -- the method is instance-independent. For sure, class methods cannot be called as functional methods in container operations. Possibly the method was instance-bound at the time, the task was created, and later on changed to a class method. Re-Creating the task could be helpful here. Otherwise pass an instance to the task container (event though not required) and let the runtime system have it to call the class' method.
With the very best wishes,
Florin

Calling a custom tcode using abap class from workflow

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement of calling a custom tcode from my workflow.
For this i have created a class zcl_test ( has if_workflow ) .
I created a method ztest which will call the tcode.
CALL TRANSACTION 'ZTX'. ( My tcode just has 1 input field, for testing purpose )
Then i created a task in whichi hv used this abap class and method.
But the tcode does not run when i execute the workflow.
Please help.

Function module equivalent to SWE_EVENT_CREATE while using ABAP classes

Hi there,
I used to use SWE_CREATE_EVENT to fire the events linked to my BOR objects, in order to start certain workflows.
Now I am using ABAP classes within the WorkFlows, and the name of the classes MUST (in my case) be longer than 10 characters, and SWE_EVENT_CREATE is cutting the name so it does not work
Do you know any FM equivalent to start an event from a ABAP class (SE24) object?
I have tried to use SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW, but I cannot find the way to include my object in the container. Any ideas on this point would be welcome as well
Thanks so much,
Miguel

Thanks for such a quick reply,
You were right. I actually did follow Jocelyn's blogs, but somehow I skipped the raising event section.
Just for information, the URL with the solution to this problem is:

Have a good one
