Procedure to Call Workflow Object from ABAP program in Se38

Hi All,
I have one scenario like i have to call one Workflow object from ABAP program in SE38.The scenario is like below.....
I have to select some records from database table.For example there are 100 records in the internal table.
For all that records i have to invoke Workflow for getting approval from the authorized persons. Once Approval has come to program, It will post one document in SAP and process ends.
Please suggest me how to move forward with this scenario.
Regards
Manas Ranjan Panda

Hi,
So you want to start a workflow from an ABAP, if an event exists for that particular workflow then the best way is to use fm SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT,
to start a workflow from an ABAP you can use fm SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Workflow object FIPP.notworking in another client

Hi Gurus,
Right now we are working on workflow object FIPP.It,s working fine in our(sand box) client.when we try to do the same in testing client(which is available in the same system) not working.
Could you please tell me what are the client specific settings(in terms of customizing and workbench) to be made.
Note:we have created client specific prefix numbers and and their templates in the system .apart from this what are all the checks to be made as far as this config is concern.
Kindly help.
Regards,
Sathish.

Satish,
The Workflow <b><u>runtime</u></b> must be customized in each client that you want to run/test your workflows. You can use the Auto customizing option from txn SWU3. You also need to activate the event linkage for the workflow and either assign possible agents to your dialog tasks or set the task as general depending on your needs in each client. Don't forget to refresh the org buffers (txn SWU_OBUF) after making these changes.
Cheers,
Ramki Maley.

Other Objects( Workflow Objects) in SPAU

Dear All
We are going for Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 . In that under Without Modification Assistant Node , there are OTHER OBJECTS Category. In that , all are in red traffic light and those are Workflow Objects like following.
PDTS 00007842
PDTS 01200231
PDTS 01200246
PDTS 01400009
PDTS 12300096

PDTS 12500044
PDTS 20000085
PDTS 20000159

PDTS 20000460
PDTS 20000889
PDTS 20000906
PDWS 00400012
PDWS 01200147
How to deal those above Objects???? Gimme a solution please
Kind Regards
Karthikeyan.

Hello Karthikeyan,
is this still a problem?
Other objects are not supported by transaction SPAU, there is no navigation to the maintenance tool specially possible.
There is only a sign: you have changed an object which is not supported by the modification assistant and this object is now
delivered from SAP again.
You should use the maintenance tool for this object and your manual notes, which you make during the change of this object. For example, the workflow objects are the following:
PDWA Workflow Pattern with All Versions
PDWS Workflow templates
SCNT Workflow Container PPF (Definition + Data)
SIFL Workflow Documents: Logical Information Object
SIFP Workflow Documents: Physical Information Object
SWFC Workflow Correlation Definition
SWFT Workflow: process type
SWFX Workflow XML Proxy
They can be processed in SE95_UTIL like Julia informed.
Other examples of OTHER OBJECTS found in SPAU:
SmartForms: Object SSFO -> Transaction SMARTFORMS.
Queries: Object AQQU -> Transaction SQ01
In SPAU you can double click at the traffic light and on the next popup you can choose 'Adjust' or 'Reset'.
I hope this helps in some way
Best regards,
Tomas Black

System Copy for Workflow objects

Hi Experts,
My client need to migrate code in some request from one system(Sandbox) to another system(Development). They r not adivicing me to transporting the request. They want to migrate each individual object. Could anyone suggest me how can I do this migration for workflow objects. Can I have an option of import and exporting the workflow template and taks.
Regards
Jose

Hello Jose,
The fastest and most painless way is to create them in the new system. There are just too many problems to sort out and the export function is a joke.
A quick tip: have two sessions open, switch between them and copy/paste your task texts etc.
Sorry it's not the answer you want, but it's going to save you the most time. It's not as much work as it seems, a couple of hours per workflow at most.
Cheers,
Mike

Workflow Import Created Unusable, Undeletable Workflow Object

Hey everyone,
We have a massive, 37000-row approval process for one of our applications that we're attempting to move from one environment to another using the workflow import/export function in Workspace/Planning 11.1.2.2.300. The .exp file is 37000 rows and successfully exported from the application, but the import process hung and crashed. Now, when entering the Planning Unit Hierarchy, we see the object that we imported the hierarchy to, but workspace freezes whenever I attempt to open or delete the workflow.
I'm not sure if there's anything we can do at this point. We haven't tried a planning/workflow restart which we'll do when we have the chance, but were wondering if there is a backend table we could access to delete the workflow object from the application.
Any help you could offer to delete this workflow/approval process object would be appreciated!

Reload with FORCE option to overwrite what is there.
Otherwise, you will have Purge a lot of different tables. Here are some:
WF_ITEM_TYPES
WF_ITEMS
WF_ITEM_ACTIVITES
WF_ITEM_ACTIVITY_VALUES
WF_PROCESSES
WF_PROCESS_ACTIVITIES
WF_NOTIFICAITONS
WF_NOTIFICAITON_ATTRIBUTES
WF_NOTIFICAITON_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES
There are more

ALE Workflow

We're implementing ALE between our financials server and HR server.
We would like to set up some sort of monitoring to make sure the IDocs are processed successfully and want to notify users via some sort of Workflow.
From what I understand, the program RSEIDOCA collects the Idocs based on the status/message type etc.. criteria selected and sends them via SAP Mail to the appropriate people
And, I need to make sure all the partner profiles have an Agent assigned to them - this would be the person who's notified of errors.
I'm sure there's a lot left out. Can someone explain ALE workflow? How similar is it to normal workflow used on FI side?
thanks,
robert.

Hi Robert,
SAP provides std WF for error handling. The link below will give you some useful information to get started. Hope this helps.

How to attach event to custome workflow object ?

Hi Guys,
Could someone help me on how to raise event while creating custom workflow object.We can attach event to object in transaction swe2 . I would like to know how to create that event. Could some send sample custom workflow object with events.
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Garrick.

Here's an example using Business object BUS2080 Service notification
I delegated ZBUS2080 to BUS2080 (service notification). Added 2 Events REASSIGNED and MODIFIED.
Use transaction SWO1 for manipulating business objects.
The User performs an action on a service notification (IW52) say PUT IN SERVICE AGAIN.
When the user puts the service notification in service again the event triggered will start a (user defined) workflow which makes a call to a method in the business object ZBUS2080 which launches a batch job.
This batch job creates our user event REASSIGNED which in turn calls a new workflow to be executed.
This workflow performs the action I want -- in this case to re-assign the service notification to a new person, send an email and escalate the deadlines
Code samples are shown below.
So here's how it works.
First you need to set up some entries with table SWE2. I've assumed you've already defined the events to the Business object(s) you want to use.
In SWE2 define entries for BUS2080 (or ZBUS2080) For Events INPROCESSAGAIN and (our event) REASSIGNED.
IN SWE2 define the receiver call as a FUNCTION MODULE
For the receiver function modules for the SAP event (INPROCESSAGAIN) define the receiver module as SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT
For the event REASSIGNED define the receiver module as SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT_IBF.
I have no idea whatwhat the difference is between the two but the process works when it's done like this.
Ensure the linkage Activated box is clicked in both cases.
Put your workflow numbers in the RECEIVER TYPE in SWE2 table.
In the first workflow when the user puts the service notification in service ensure your workflow starts a batch job which raises another event
Note : You need to instantiate the object (I.e supply the key) to trigger the event correctly. The key is obtained from the WF and will be in the container anyway.
You can do this by adding this type of function module into the method of the business object you want to execute during the first workflow. The code here creates a batch job which submits the EVENT creating program.
function z_create_event_for_cs.
""Local interface:
*" IMPORTING

For the actual program which creates the event use something like this

This program creates an event REASSIGN
This triggers a "clone" of the initial customer query workflow

should be passed to the new workflow via the event container
Program is submitted from the original workflow
Ensure transaction SWE2 has the event REASSIGN for bus object BUS2080
defined or the WF won't start even if the event is raised correctly
As this program is run as a background / batch task
you need to obtain the relevant notification number and pass it
as a parameter.
When run from the WF the you can get the notification number obtained
from the workflow / task container.

even though no database / table is updated here by the event
we still need the commit work to initiate the event correctly
commit work.
You CAN use Objects (OO ABAP) but if you are fairly new to this sort of stuff just stick with standard BOR (Business objects) to parctice on until you've got the hang of the process.
It's actually a lot simpler than most people realize --which is why WF consultants get paid decently !!!!.

ALE Workflow setup

Hello Gurus,
I want to setup workflow for ALE/Idoc error handling. Sap version 4.6B.
Can anyone please tell me in detail the steps need to be configured/setup for
the workflow. This is for customer master distribution.
Urgent please.
Thanks in advance.
Rgs,
Anant

Hi Ananth,
If you want to know how to activate the workflow for handling the idoc errors then here is the explabatio.
Go to tcode : WE42.
Choose any inbound processcode: ex : INVC and click on details.
Here usually the events are defined(Start and END event) for IDOC Error handling through workflow.
For process code : INVC
Object Type                         IDOCINVCON
Start Event                         INPUTERROROCCURRED
End event                           INPUTFINISHED
If any error is occured when IDOC for message type INVCON is created then IDOCINVCON.INPUTERROROCCURRED event will be triggered. You need to use this event in the start condition of workflow "which in turn will send the workitem to user who is responsible for correcting the errors".
Reward if it helps.
Thanks
Praveen

Error in PR workflow - 'Object does not exist '.

Hi experts,
We have a custom workflow configured from purchase requisition, uses object BUS2105. Now there is an error which occurs in ad hoc basis due to which this workitem ends in error. Error says 'You tried to create an instance of the object type BUS2105 with the key <PR number>. No instance of this kind exists'. This is happening only for the PR create scenario. During change, no such error is coming.
This is happening before any method defined in workflow steps is called. If anyone has faced, resolved this kind of issue, please provide your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
Sumanth

Check the binding from event to workfow container..whether all mandatory workflow conatainers are getting values properly or not...
I think you need to pass the item number as well...
