Binding ABAP Class Attribute with BUS2038 in a Standard WF task

Hi,
I need help as mentioned in the subject line.
In my standard task I am capturing event for BUS2038. In the General tab I have a ABAP class which has implemented IF_WORKFLOW. From BUS2038 I just need notification number.
Since my source is a BO and my target is a class. How do I make this conversion and pass the data to my class?
I know there are several solution but none have solved my concern.
Thanks,
Sridhar Karra.

Hi,
If you want to access teh attributes of the BOR inside a class emthod then you have to make use of teh MACROS.
1. include INCLUDE CNTN01_SWC in the class local macros section. and in the type groupsof the class include SWC0.
2. Now if you know the key of the BOR instance then create a BOR object inside the class method as below
DATA lo_object TYPE SWC0_OBJECT.
SWC0_CREATE_OBJECT lo_object '<BUSXXXX>' '<Key of the BOR>.
the above line will create the instance of the bor inside the class method
now inorder to access the attributes of the BOR use the below code
DATA lv_notif_no TYPE <type of the notification>.
SWC0_GET_PROPERTY lo_object '<ATTRIBUTE NAME> lv_notif
In this way you can access the BOR attributes inside a class method.

ABAP class method with dialogue

Hi all,
I want to use a ABAP class method within a Workflow definition with user interaction. The SAP help says, that is possible, but I couldn't find a way, to mark the method as "with dialogue".
For BOR-objects there is a checkbox in the details for the method definition. Can anybody tell me, how it can be done?
Thanks in advance
Nick

Hi Nicolas,
When you create the Task with the ABAP OO Method, you can select it as "Background Processing" else it will be a "Dialog Process".
If you notice here, "Background Processing" checkbox will be editable if ABAP OO Method is used, whereas in case of Business Objects it directly comes from method definition.

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,

[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.

Model Binding and Calculated Field Syntax for "class" Attribute

Hi,
I tried to use the calculated field syntax from SAP UI5 to change the CSS class attribute of an element based on some model property, i.e., I wanted to change the class in the corresponding formatter function based on the currently bound value. However, my formatter function is not called. When I use the same syntax on a text attribute, it works.
I also tried to use normal property binding, but it did not work on the class attribute either (it just put class="{property}" in the rendered HTML).
Is there anything I missed or is it just not possible to use property binding and calculated field syntax for class attributes? Did anybody try something like this before?
I think it is a standard use case to change the CSS class based on some model property. So, if anybody knows how to do that, could you give a short example?
Best regards
Svenja

They have a class property. At least, I can do the following in an XML view:
<Button
 icon="sap-icon://add"
 press="onButtonPress"
 class="my-button-class" />
I would expect the following to work as well, but for me it did not:
<Button
 icon="sap-icon://add"
 press="onButtonPress"
 class="{/customClass}" />
This renders the following HTML (cropped to the important parts):
<button type="button" class="sapMBtn {/customClass}">
</button>
It seems like the class attribute is something special although I don't see a reason why. Other HTML templating engines, for example, support things like that.

Code or Basis FM to find the attribute list in an ABAP class -- URGENT!!

Dear All,
Can you please let me know the piece of code or a basis Function Module to list all the attributes of an ABAP class? It's real urgent..
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Regards,
Harish

Hello Harish
Call the static method CL_ABAP_CLASSDESCR=>DESCRIBE_BY_NAME( '<name of your class>' ).
The method returns an instance of CL_ABAP_CLASSDESCR. The attributes METHODS, ATTRIBUTES and EVENTS (and others) are public and, therefore, can be accessed directly.
Another fancy class is CL_OO_CLASS. It has an instance method GET_ATTRIBUTES where you can specifiy the attribute type (public, private, protected).

How to bind internal table values with RootUIElement(Table) from select Que

Hello Friends,
 In my view Layout,there r two Input fields ,Submit button and Table... My concept is when user posting values in two input fields and clicking submit button means the result(more than one values) should be displayed in Table...
 I written coding also but i dont know to bind internal table values with Table... My code as follows,
method onactionsearch .
 data:
 Node_Node_Flight type ref to If_Wd_Context_Node,
 Elem_Node_Flight type ref to If_Wd_Context_Element,
 Stru_Node_Flight type If_View1=>Element_Node_Flight ,
 itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF sflight.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <NODE_FLIGHT> via lead selection
 Node_Node_Flight = wd_Context->get_Child_Node( Name = IF_VIEW1=>wdctx_Node_Flight ).
@TODO handle not set lead selection
 if ( Node_Node_Flight is initial ).
 endif.
get element via lead selection
 Elem_Node_Flight = Node_Node_Flight->get_Element( ).
@TODO handle not set lead selection
 if ( Elem_Node_Flight is initial ).
 endif.
alternative access via index
Elem_Node_Flight = Node_Node_Flight->get_Element( Index = 1 ).
@TODO handle non existant child
if ( Elem_Node_Flight is initial ).
endif.
get all declared attributes
 Elem_Node_Flight->get_Static_Attributes(
 importing
 Static_Attributes = Stru_Node_Flight ).
select * from sflight into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab
WHERE carrid = Stru_Node_Flight-carrid and connid = Stru_Node_Flight-connid.
Node_Node_Flight->bind_table( new_items = itab ).
endmethod.
Plz reply me asap...!

Hi,
What I understood from your coding is...
* navigate from <CONTEXT> to <NODE_FLIGHT> via lead selection
Node_Node_Flight = wd_Context->get_Child_Node( Name = IF_VIEW1=>wdctx_Node_Flight ).
You are reading values from the above node and binding the values to the same node.Am i right?
Did you take seperate context node for your input fields or binded the above context to the fields.If not then read the context attribute values which are binded to the carrid and connid then pass these values to select query.
One more thing is select cardinality 1..n for node NODE_FLIGHT since you are displaying more than one record.
Go through the some basic tutorials.Search in sdn you will it get.Already there is a tutorial in sdn which explains exactly what do you require.

How to clear a private static class attribute once it's been created?

<pre>I'm working with an instance of a complex Class object that has been created using the function module HRXSS_CAT_APPLICATION_INIT. The Class object that I am trying to work with is CL_XSS_CAT_BUSINESS_LAYER and in particular its Static Private component attribute PROFILE. 
The issue that I am having is that the first call of this function module creates and populates the Static Private component attribute, PROFILE, for the instance of this Class and I do not know how to initialize it once it's been created. The PROFILE attribute is an object reference to an instance of Class CL_XSS_CAT_PROFILE. 
I want to reset/intialize this Static Private component. I can then call a Class Method with different parameters so that it repopulates PROFILE with different attributes. There is no Public method to do this in CL_XSS_CAT_BUSINESS_LAYER and even the Private method INIT_PROFILE, the logic first checks to see if the PROFILE component is initial before creating a new PROFILE object instance. All the Attributes of the CL_XSS_CAT_PROFILE object are Static and Private.
 
I would appreciate any insight anyone might have in how to reset/initialize this Class component attribute. 
Thanks much,

Sample code snippet is as follows:

OK...I apologize but I did not dig deep enough to see that the Enhancement Framework allows for the addition of Methods to Classes/Interfaces. Most of this ABAP OO stuff is still quite new to me so I'm struggling with syntax and what is and isn't possible based on how everything is declared. I guess now that I know I can do this I am having some problems understanding how singleton Class objects work and how to 'reset' them.
The Class instance based on CL_XSS_CAT_BUSINESS_LAYER has a Static Private attribute PROFILE that is an object reference to the singleton Class instance CL_XSS_CAT_PROFILE.
The singleton Class instance of CL_XSS_CAT_PROFILE has all of its attributes set to Static Private. If you look at this Class in SE80 you see that one of its attributes is also called PROFILE and is an object reference variable to itself.
So the issue I am having is how to go about 'initializing' this singleton object so that I can 'recreate' this singleton object using a copy of the existing S
I used the enhancement framework to create a copy of the CL_XSS_CAT_BUSINESS_PROFILE Instance Private Method INIT_PROFILE , called in INIT_PROFILE2, but I am not sure how to 'clear/reset' the instance of the CL_XSS_CAT_PROFILE object.
Since PROFILE is an attribute of the CL_XSS_BUSINESS_LAYER object, I thought that a simple CLEAR PROFILE would reset the object but this is not the case. Within this method the FREE clears the value of the reference variable PROFILE but as soon as you step into the method me->init_profile, the value of PROFILE goes back to what it was. I need for all of the CL_XSS_CAT_PROFILE instance attributes to be reset or initialized so I can fill them again. I think I'm getting confused on the scope of things...should I be enhancing the CL_XSS_CAT_PROFILE Class with 'setter' methods so I can initialize all of the Static Private attributes that way instead of trying to clear all the attributes at a higher call level?
Any assistance with helping me with my thought process or approach to this would be much appreciated.
METHOD INIT_PROFILE2.
FREE PROFILE. >>> is reset but it does not carry through to next method call and does not clear all the attributes of the object referenced in PROFILE
CALL METHOD me->init_profile
EXPORTING
IM_PROFILE_ID = im_profile_id

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."

Class attribute in technical workflow log not updated

Hi Gurus,
I built a workflow analogous to the famous demo workflow "demoformabs" but with the demo class: CL_SWF_FORMABSENC instead of the BOR: FORMABSENC.
In the BOR Formabsenc there is also an attribute for the "Approver" (USR01) in addition to "Creator" (USR01).
This attribute "Approver" is missing in the class "CL_SWF_FORMABSENC".
So I added this attribute "Approver" also in the class "CL_SWF_FORMABSENC":
data APPROVER type SIBFLPORB value CL_SWF_BOR_TYPES=>MC_USR01.
Finally in the method "approve" I set the value for the attribute "APPROVER".
me->approver-instid = me->APPROVBY.
I can see that the value has been successfully set by setting a binding from this class attribute to a workflow container element.
BUT, in the technical workflow log (container) I can not see the class attribute "Approver" populated.
Here it´s still displayed as < no instance >.
What do I need to do, to make this value appear also in this class attribute in the technical workflow log?
Albeit I know, that it´s working, I am getting confused, that it´s still displayed as empty.
Cheers,
Dominik

Hi Dominik,
You should not populate attributes in this manner, for the very reason you're experiencing. Attributes are transient and behave like variables, i.e. when the class stops existing they disappear. During binding only the key is transferred, and - if needed - the class is re-instantiated at the other end. If you have implemented some kind of buffering/instance management (not a bad idea), then you may be lucky to have attributes survive if everything happens within the same program context. However once your WF session stops executing, this is lost.
This is why when you look at the log later, it is re-instantiating a completely new instance - where would it know the approver from?
The attribute value must be written to the DB somewhere, so that any later object instantiation (e.g. when you look at the log) will read the value and populate the attributes correctly.
Incidentally this is why OO theory discourages the use of public attributes and suggests GET_ and SET_ methods instead....

Mike

Include in ABAP class for Workflow

Hi,
In order to use BOR macros inside ABAP class, (From SAP help) came to know that we need to use include <cntn02> .
How to add this include to ABAP class for workflow?
Regds,
Akshay

Hi Akshay,
Slight difference, I said "keeping the class clean of BOR code". By all means use BO's in the class: basically create a ZCL_MATERIAL, and use BUS1001 as an attribute (I use a naming convention BO_* for these). As long as it's the right type (SIBFLPORB I think - no system handy right now), and the key values are populated correctly the system will instantiate it as necessary. So in WF I can refer to ZCL_MATERIAL.BO_MATERIAL whenever I need any of the BO's functionality.
You are correct though, creating a proper business class which you can instantiate such as material does involve a fair bit of effort and coding to set up. e.g. my last project I ended up creating one ZBOR subtype because all I needed was one new attribute - definitely not worthwhile creating a new class for. (USR01.zEmailAddress for what it's worth).
I've said before somewhere, it's not without pain, so if you're under time pressure etc, then it may be better to do whatever's quickest. There's nothing wrong with using BOR macros, it will still work for quite a few versions. I just meant to say that pure class(y) code is a preferred way to go if it makes sense to do so. This is not always the case.
Hope that helps,
Mike

ABAP Classes and BADIs for HR

Hi all,
Can anyone give me a list of classes SAP has released for HR use by customers and all utility ABAP classes. Also any utility abap classes that would be useful for future. I am only interested in those relevant for ECC 5 and up.
Could you supply the BADIs or Enhancement Spots for HR too.
Thanks
Wayne

The BADI's I have found most useful are the BADI exits that duplicate the existing PA30 PAI / PBO User exits. If you trace back to where the exits are called you will find the BADI call within a few lines of code - but the difference is that the BADI is called outside one layer of IF logic, so it gets called in some circumstances where the user exits do not - I think this was to do with certain change or copy data situations.
Can't remember the name of the BADI, and do not have a system available to check at present, but it was not hard to find when I looked in the system.
Others I have used are as exits in the HR to FI posting interface, and also some in the travel to vendor interface. There is also an exit for customising the PERNR search help - cannot remember if this was a class or a FM.
For moving data inside the user exits in a unicode compliant way there are classes for moving data from the flat PRELP character structure to individual infotype structures - CL_HR_PNNNN_TYPE_CAST=>PRELP_TO_PNNNN and CL_HR_PNNNN_TYPE_CAST=>PNNNN_TO_PRELP.
For general unicode compliant constants such as a Tab character there is class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES with attributes like CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
Also if you go to SE38, select the Blue "Online Help" button, and then go to the ABAP Overview, you will find under the ABAP by Theme branch an entry "ABAP System Classes and Interfaces" which documents 20+ general ABAP classes
Hope this helps

ABAP-Memory per User or static ABAP-class??

Hi there,
I want to save some information for each user in a transaction which uses SUBMIT-statements. So I want to store the information globally across reports and transactions (starting from my own single transaction).
So I can use the ABAP-Memory for storing this information. Is the information stored there seperated by user or is it possible that one user gehts the information of another user? When is ABAP-memory cleared? Is this done automaticly when my transaction flow is finished.
Alternatively I think I can use a global static ABAP-class with attributes to store the information. Is such a ABAP-class also user-dependent??
And when is this information cleared??
Can you give me some hints?
Thank you very much!
Kind regards
Jens

Hi,
Both ABAP and SAP memory are user specific. In your case if the issue would concern just one user you should go for SAP memory (when data should be exchanged between external sessions that is windows of SAP gui) or ABAP memory when data exchanged within one external session (between internal sessions - that is between programs run in one GUI session ).
If you want the data be stored globally for all the users, you have to either store them in some custom global table in DDIC (and later read from different user) or use [Shared objects|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/14/dafc3e9d3b6927e10000000a114084/frameset.htm] which is a special memory buffer in Application Server, where you can exchange data between user sessions.
