Adobe - Triggering workflow in ABAP

Hi,
From the Adobe offline form - submission I want to trigger a workflow in R/3 system.
I also want the same adobe form to be sent as an attachment. so that after checking the workflow the key user can edit the form and resubmit it again which will update the backend.
I hope many of us might have worked with same kind scenario.
Helpful answer will be rewarded.
Thanks
Satya

Hi Satya,
I dont understand, how will you trigger something from R/3 if it does not have access.
The webservice access it through the URL. This is what i have done with my limited knowledge.. Would like to see more brainstorming on this :).
Thanks and Rgards,
Anto.

Call purchase requisition approval workflow in abap program

Hello,
I copied the standard workflow for the approvaI of a purchase requisition WS00000038 and i tested it. I create a purchase requisition in me51n. This is triggering the event releasestepcreated which starts my workflow. Everything goes ok.
Now, i want to call this workflow in ABAP. I do not know exactly how to do it. Here is the code I tried.
data: ls_objkey type SWR_STRUCT-OBJECT_KEY,
lt_mesage type table of SWR_MESSAG,
gt_container type table of swr_cont,
gs_container type swr_cont.
gs_container-element = 'ReleaseCode'.
gs_container-value = '01'.
append gs_container to gt_container.
gs_container-element = 'requisition'.
gs_container-value = '0010000362'.
append gs_container to gt_container.
gs_container-element = 'RequisitionHeader '.
gs_container-value = '0010000362'.
append gs_container to gt_container.
ls_objkey = '0010000362'.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT'
EXPORTING
object_type = 'BUS2009'
object_key = ls_objkey
event = 'RELEASESTEPCREATED'
TABLES
input_container = gt_container
MESSAGE_LINES = lt_mesage.
As you can see i filled he RequisitionHeader, requisition and release code. I saw in the workflow that i copied, that these are import parameters. Requisition and release code are mandatory. 0010000362 is a purchase requisition that i created.
After i run the program i receive a work item in SBWP but it has the status error.
Can you help me?Perhaps anyone has done this. I think that i am not filling the correct data or something like that. Maybe you can look in the standard workflow WS00000038 and tell me what I should pass and how.
Thank you,
Efren

Hi Efren,
The Problem is, for the purchase requisition there is two key fields.
So when you pass the keyfiled to workflow it should be the concatenation of Purchanse requisition number and the item number.
You have to pass the object key as below.
ls_objkey = '00100003620010'.
Then only your business object will getting insatanciated.
Thanks,
Viji.

FM or include that triggers Workflow in sap SRM 5.0.

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me the FM, for triggering a workflow in SAP SRM 5.0. I mean the name of the program or Include or an FM which finally triggers workflow while saving?
Thanks,
Edited by: Manoj Singh on Oct 6, 2011 6:51 PM

Hi Gaurav,
Thanks for responding. Yes, all the backend config are in place since I am able to successfully run an equivalent RFC (BBP_PD_SC_GETLIST) and another RFC named BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL from SE37. The problem seems to be something very specific to the ES. May I request you to run this ES at your end (if possible) and let me know the result possibly with the input and output message similar to the one I pasted in the origincal question.
Thanks in advance,
Nilay

To integrate the Adobe form in webdynpro ABAP

Hi Experts,
How to use the adobe form in Webdynpro ABAP?
Thanks & regads
Vino

That is quite the general question and I think if you search SCN you will find many resources - such as videos, tutorials, how-to guides, documentation - on the subject. Perhaps just starting with the online Help and the associated links form the help article will get you started:

How to update agent list after triggering workflow?

Hi Guys,
Is there any function module to update the agent list after triggering the workflow? i mean after triggering workflow, the user is maintaining some approving officers in their table and they are expecting the workflow should route the workitem to those newly maintained approving officers. So can any one help me to solve this issue.
Regards,
Safiq

if any agent maintained in the customized table, how can I update
those agent with existing available agent list.
It sounds like updating the existing workitem container with the new updated values. right? You mean to say initially workflow is triggered and the agent list is populated in the workflow container. But after the workflow is triggered if the table is updated with some new entries, then these new entries must alos be included in the agent list container element in the workflow container.
If this is the case the you have to modify the multiline container element of the workitem container. You can make use of the standard function module SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER but this function module needs to be called each time when evenr a new entry is created and you have to check what are all the workitems that you want to update ,
I think its a bit difficult to update all the workitems which are with reagrd to this scenario.. so you have to check out some other simple way. But on a whole what I can say is you can update an existing workitem container by using the FM mentioned above...

Call workflow from ABAP program

created a zbusiness object (ZPRODH)with
one key field product hierarchy,
one attribute level number and
one method display.
I tested that zobject and using this object created workflow to display product hierarchy ,it is displaying it. now I have to call it from one abap program.
In the abap program I am calling the funcion module, I
CALL FUNCTION 'SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE'
EXPORTING
TASK = TASK
IMPORTING
WI_ID = WI_ID
TABLES
AGENTS = AGENTS
WI_CONTAINER = WI_CONTAINER.
It is calling the workflow and subrc is 0, but not passing the value to the workflow. Because of that the method is not working, any idea?
Thanks in advance

ttpa,
Please check this thread:
Re: Workflow from abap program
Also check that your Fm do requires any explicit commit or not?
Hope it will help u
Cheers

Workflow and ABAP OO

Hi,
I have read the excellent blogs on Workflow and ABAP OO by Joycelyn Dart (/people/jocelyn.dart/blog/2007/07/16/referencing-bor-objects-in-abap-oo-classes). I have sucessfully created a BO (of type SIBFLPORB) in my class. However, I cannot figure out how to retrieve the workitem container that holds the BO. I have used macros before in workflow programming exists, but there I get the container from a workitem context. I can't find the workitem context in my class. Please provide me with some code samples of how I can retrieve the workitem container that holds the BO.
I am considering passing the workitem id to the method and reading the container via SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER. If this is a good solution, then I see no point in having the BO as an attribute of the classe. Is it a good solution?
Thanks!
Elvez

I am probably missing something obvious here (or we are not even speaking about a same thing), but I still try to clarify my point.
>I could of course just pass the necessary data as parameters to the class
This is the part that I don't really understand. If you already have an instance of a class existing (=there is an object instantiated), which has the BO as an attribute, there shouldn't be any need to change a signature of any method(?). The only thing you need to enhance is the constructor of your class.
Currently you create the BO instance as an attribute in your constructor method (isn't this correct?). Just create the attributes you need from the BO into your class, and "populate" them in your constructor. Or if it is an method that you need, just create a similar method (=you can copy the code) into your class.
This all might be much easier than using the WF macros, which shouldn't be that difficult either - as Jocelyn says:
"You will still need to use BOR macros in your ABAP OO classes if and only if you want to call BOR attributes and methods in your ABAP OO methods.
If you need to do this then make sure you include the BOR macro definitions in your class by putting the special include program <cntn02> in the "Macros" section of your ABAP OO class."

Interactive Adobe Forms using WebDynpro ABAP

Hi,
I could able to design and execute my interactive adobe form using webdynpro ABAP. Here what i am doing is i am creating context with my structures and table types and pdfobject of type xstring and passing the proper inputs in interactive form properties, in template sources i am provinding the interface and form name of my own choice and it is getting created automatically by the system, every thing works fine here and i could able to execute my form from web dynpro application.
Here my requirement is i have already created structures and table types after that i went to transaction SFP and created an interace and by using that interface i have created form and i have designed the layout. Now what i want to do is i want to integrate this form in my webdynpro appliction and i want to execute it from webdynpro applicaton. When i try to do i am getting short dump, is my approach feasible or not . kindly suggest. If we can achieve this what is the way to achieve.
Please do send your suggestions.

Hi
When u click on button..u will have to get the data from node which is existing on the Intereactive form and pass it to other view via writing logic in button event handler.
The data can be displayed in other view as result.
I hope u got it.
Provide REWARD points..:-)

How to add new attribute for triggering workflow?

Dear Expert,
I want to create condition for triggering workflow.
I am working on travel request workflow, using BUS2089.
my requirement is to differentiate or make condition of triggering workflow based on trip activity type,
but I can't find any attribute about trip activity type.
how to add activity type to be available for create condition?
thanks

Hi,
If am not wrong you are trying to raise event when ever there is a new travel request raised, so the BOR would be availbel in the workflow container to be more preciese it would be available in the event container, so you need to find out the right attribute in the BOR where the trip type is assigned and validate this in the start conditions i mean in the basic data of the workflow where you activate the event linkage.

Pavan

Hi lingana,

Custom Library 'Adobe LiveCycle Workflow Fields'

Hello,
I'm just reading through the document 'creating_workflows.pdf' of Workflow 7.0. In the chapter about designing forms for workflow it says that the custom library is available with the SDK, however I was not able to locate the library. There are also some workflow fields in Adobe Designer 7.0, but I think they are for older workflow versions, because the field names don't match the ones in the documentation ('creating_workflows.pdf'). Can somebody help me locate the library or tell me which fields to use for my forms?
Thanks!
Regards, Karin Garreis

Hi Karin
The library is actually in a file called Adobe LiveCycle Workflow Field.xfo which is part of the Workflow SDK. You will find it in:
\LiveCycleWorkflow7_SDK\Misc
See:
Mike J. Potter, "Adobe LiveCycle Workflow 7.0 SDK (38.3 M file)" #5, 20 Sep 2005 12:48 pm for info on how to get the SDK.
In order to install this library, you need to create a new Group in the library palette, and then add this file to the directory that gets automatically created to hold this group. The usual location for new groups is:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Designer 7.0\EN\objects\[grpname]
I hope this helps...

That is possible by using FLM tool. You need to buy it separately. Its an ARCH product. Or if its HR forms then you can use HCM proceess & forms.

How to integrate adobe forms using webdynpro-abap

Hi All,
How to integarte adobe forms with webdynpro -abap(se80).
Thanks & Regards
Suman

Hi suman,
First you have insert a element interactive form in the view.
In the properties of the interactive form you have properties called datasource and pdfsource.
You have to give the data which you want to display in the datasource throught binding.
These data you have to get it from the context. For pdfsource it should be xstring.
There is one more property called templatesource, when you give a name and double click. It automatically goes to SFP and you can create the form of your purpose. While creating it will ask for context. That context will be the same which you have declared in the view or component controller.
Regards,
Arun.
