Call FM in a workflow step.

Hi all,
I would like call the FM bbp_pdh_wfl_start_now in a step. How I can do it?
What paramaters are filled in this function? Which values?
Many thanks.
Regards,
David.

Hi David,
To call a FM from a workflow you need to make use of BO method.
1. Go to t-code SWO1, Create a BO method in a Z BO.
2. Add a call FM in the method and call bbp_pdh_wfl_start_now function module.
3 . Pass the import parameters to the FM and fetch the return parameters in BO method attributes. Check the FM in SE37 to find the mandatory input parameters. Refer to the where-used list for more details of the value to be passed.
4. Then use the code:
swc_set_element container 'xxx' yyy
to set the value of the output parameters that can be accessed in the workflow.
5. In t-code SWDD, in the workflow Activity task, make a call to this BO method and create parameters to accept the BO output values.
6. Make the necessary binding between the task container and method container.
Hope this helps!

Saumya

  • Call / trigger an ECC workflow step from PI ?

    Hi,
    For a flow "ext (file) -> PI -> ECC (workflow)", from PI, I need to run / execute / trigger () a workflow step in ECC, which already exist. I think that I can acheive this by creating an abap proxy in ECC in which I will call a Bapi or Method to run / execute / trigger () this workflow step. I don't know exactly how for the moment (in parallel I'm doing search about it), but that's not the matter.
    before to waste time by searching in this way, what's the best solution to call an ECC workflow step from PI ?
    Many thanks.
    Mickael
    (*) maybe I don't use the good terminology. Sorry.

    hi Shabarish,
    I'm confortable with web service, IDoc, RFC/bapi and abap proxy (and ...), but here, I prefer to use abap proxy (asynch + sxmb_moni in ecc) except if there is another better approach
    else as in PI we have ccBPM, so a workflow , as in ECC we have also workflow , does my approach (abap proxy & call method) is the good one ? or is there a better way between these two workflow tools: PI + ECC ? like a standard "workflow module" or a workflow "connexion" ? (I fear I know the answer but I would prefer to be sure),
    Note: I'm in PI 7.11 SP06 and ECC 6.0.

  • Calling Adobe form in a Workflow Step for approval

    Hello,
       There are some ISR forms and workflows in MSS which use Workflow tasks configured as JavaWebDynpro to call Adobe form from the Workflow Step.
    Is it possible to achieve the same using ABAP Web Dynpro and creating a new task and configuring to use it as an ABAP Web Dynpro (which can in turn call the Adobe form from the WD)?
    Thanks.

    Hi Anjali,
    1)You can develop an<b> RFC</b> that collects required basic data from R/3 and display them in <i>ABAP WD - Adobe Form</i>. The End user can change/fill the remaining contents of the Adobe Form and submits it for approval. The <b>RFC</b> again handles the triggering part of the <b>Workflow</b> and passes the form data to the workflow containers.And for approvals, you can use the <i><b>SWFVISU</b></i> to call a <b>ABAP WD</b> application from Workflow. And in turn the control again goes back to RFC and so...
    2)I dont have much idea in ECC 60 if there is a similar ABAP WD application like Standard Java WD <b>IsrFormApprove</b>.
    3)No idea.

  • Workflow step not executed...

    Hi,
    In my workflow requirement (for VA01), I want to record the status in a custom table as follows;
    Approver id     date   time    status
    ABC                                     Submitted for approval
    ABC                                     Approved (or) Rejected
    So I have created a step called 'update custom status' after the step that sends email to the approver agent whose details stored in another custom table. Then I associated a task with this step which is bound to a custom class / method which has the logic to write the status to the custom table.
    The issue is I do not see this step excuted. I checked in the log.
    What can be wrong ?
    Workflow steps are as follows;
    1. Read the document's net value and store in a variable.
    2. Read the custom table for agents list to whom the doc has to be sent for approval.
    3. Send email for approval.
    4. update custom status.
    In the graphical view, I can see the update custom status step being called (Green link from previous step to this step) but after that no progress.
    Am I missing passing some values ? Or is this step not giving any results ? Whats happening ?
    Details on this update custom status step are as follows;
    A custom task with terminating event set as _WORKITEM defined. (not synchronous)
    A step of type activity defined and bound to the above task with binding done.. (what values should I pass to record the above needed details.)
    In other words, how can I record the status in my custom table ?
    thnks

    Hi
    I think its a background step. If yes, then make it foreground and debug and see what is the problem. Also check for short dumps and turn on the event trace and see the terminating event is getting triggered.

  • Ucm: displaying some fields on a profile based on a workflow step

    Hi,
    Is it possible to hide/display some standard/custom metadata fields on a profile based on a workflow step/
    e.g. I am having a workflow with 3 steps
    1. manager step
    2. specialist step
    3. reviewer step
    On the 3 step, a reviewer can decide calling an adhoc workflow if he updates some custom metadata fields(adhoc rev1, adhoc rev2). My requirement: Is it possible to show the custom metadata fields only to reviewer on updating the content item. It should not get displayed while checkin the content item or any other step users update the content item.
    thanks

    I had a similar question some times ago - see this thread: Value of dpAction
    Yes, you can do it, but you will have to define rule activation conditions properly - using dpAction and dWfCurrentStepID.

  • Workflow Step type for Container Operation

    Hi,
    A STEP in a given Workflow has to have an Agent? Can't I create a Step to get data from the DB into the container and that's it?
    I have created a container variable called "Grade" and I need to fetch the Grade of a User (WF Inititator) from a DB table and populate the "Grade" variable from the container that will be used in further steps.
    The Workflow gets kicked off but when it reaches the STEP, it stays there waiting for something (Action from a user?).
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ernesto

    Ok, now this is getting weird. Will try to explain what I am doing for one single step:
    1) I have my workflow. On PFTC I Have a workflow Template. Under the Container Tab I created a Parameter called "Grade" with the Import/Export check-boxes set and a "CreatedBy" parameter with the import/export check-boxes set as well.
    2) Then on the Workflow Builder I created a Step called Get Grade. This step calls a Custom Task and processes in the background so there is no agent determination.
        2.1) Here I have two bindings: a) Binding Between Workflow Container and Task and between Task and BO Method       
               Get_grade.  The Method Get_grade has 2 parameters (CreatedBy, that is an attribute of the Object and is an import
               parameteter and Grade that it is an import/export parameter).
        2.2) The Binding between the WF Container and the Task is like this:
                  &PROCCONFIRMATION.CREATEDBY& --> &CREATEDBY&
                  &GRADE& <-- &GRADE&
        2.3) Binding Between Task and Method is:
                 &_WI_OBJECT_ID.CREATEDBY& --> &CREATEDBY&
                 &GRADE& <-- &GRADE&   
        2.4) The Code for my method is:
    begin_method get_grade changing container.
    DATA:
          lv_grade TYPE zmm_app_req_info-grade,
          lv_userid TYPE zmm_app_req_info-requestor
    swc_get_property self 'CreatedBy' lv_userid.
    SELECT SINGLE grade FROM zmm_app_req_info
    INTO lv_grade
    WHERE requestor = lv_userid.
    IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
      swc_set_element container 'Grade' lv_grade.
    ENDIF.
    end_method.
    The only thing I need is to get the Grade parameter of the WF Container populated. This parameter will be used later on.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ernesto.

  • Workflow step approval via e-mail

    I mean I have a specific step what needs approval, can I prepare this approval step via e-mail? (not the built-in SAP mailbox)
    Thank you in advance

    Hi,
    as far as I remember there was once a tool called MAPI or MAPI-Interface. The workflow guys used this to display workflow items in outlook. When you started the workitem in outlook the system did log you in and you could execute the workitem. Please consult the workflow guys for more details.

    Thanks

    Follow the below steps inorder to call a fucntion module from the workflow
    1. First you have to create either a business class or a Business object.... from SWO1 txn..
    2. Create a method in the BOR and while created the system will prompt a message that would you like to create by using any FM here you need to specify the name of the FM that you want to use in the workflow...
    3. ONce the method is created and the code will be generated automaticlaly by the system.. and then you have to create a standard task from PFTC txn..
    4. Once the task is created then you have to use the same task in the workflow.. by creating a activity step ...
    That's all..

  • How to call Interactive form within Workflow ?

    Hi,
    I have created a interactive form within WebDynpro for ABAP which triggers a workflow for approval. Now I would like to open the same interactive form by the approver and approve the request.
    Any input for calling interactive form from Workflow would be helpful.
    Regards
    Ravikumar

    u need to create the events step by step in the workflow.
    first event would be the condition which should be checked so that it gets triggered when the condition is satisfied.
    second would be the the triggering in which u will get this triggered. u need to create a class in which the adobe form's code will be present like the FM it generates etc.in this class u will to write some methods for eg: if u create method say send_mail in this class u will code all the logic for sending the adobe form as a mail and u assign this in the workflow. So now, in the workflow all the methods that u assign will get triggered.

  • Custom pages at each workflow step in UCM

    How can I link custom pages (say JSP pages) with a workflow step in UCM? Suppose I've a workflow with a reviewer and approver and I want to get some field values at each step, how can I do so? Currently, the only option I get is Approve/Reject links at each step.

    so suppose you create an HCST page (see Bex's book if any of you reading aren't sure what those are) and check it into the content server.
    You will need to reference it from the workflow in queue page or the emails that get sent out to the step reviewers (or both).
    I suspect that in addition to calling the page (via URL) you would also pass some information on the URL like the content ID of the item being reviewed in workflow, the workflow step, etc. That information will be available already on the page you are navigating from.
    Then your hcst looks and functions like any other template page. It has the information from the URL params that it can use as inputs for additional queries or services that you're executing. There are some examples of basic HCSTs in the book and in the Dynamic Server Pages guide here:

  • SharePoint 2013 Workflow Steps

    Hi,
    Here is my scenario for which I am looking to set up a SharePoint workflow in SPD designer. Please see the details.
    1) The workflow should be initiated as soon as an item is created.
    2) There is a field in the List called "Assigned to" and an email notification must be sent to this user with a task assigned to him with a link to edit the item that initiated the workflow.
    If the user choose a status of "Not Started" or "In Progress" the notification should continue to remind the assignee until the status is set to "Completed". 
    Status should be a field in the SharePoint list that can be used to sort the items.
    Can anyone help me with Workflow steps for this scenario?
    Thank you
    techie

    Hi Techie,
    Steps:
    1) Create a workflow and set the workflow to be started on Item Created and modified.
    2) Insert Conditional activity If Status not equal to "Completed".
    3) Insert Action activity Send Mail notification to "Assigned To".
    Save and Publish the workflow.
    This workflow will get initiated when item is created and send notification mail if status ="Not started" or "In Progress".
    This workflow will get initiated when item is modified and send notification mail if status ="Not started" or "In Progress".
    This workflow will get initiated when item is modified and send doesn't notification mail if status ="Completed".

  • Url link in User Decision workflow step

    Hi Experts,
    I had created a workflow for "Employee transfer" process using SWDD tcode.
    I had a created a workflow step with type as "User Decision".I had included "Approve" & "Reject" decision options.
    Now i want to include URL link along with "Approve" & "Reject" in the user decision workflow step (i.e) The manager needs to see the URL link along with "Approve" & "Reject" in his SAP workflow inbox.
    Can anyone guide me...
    Regards,
    Krishna Balaji T

    Hi Krishna,
    I understand your issue. I have faced a similar issue in my project.
    Here is the solution!
    To add link of a URL you need to have the binding with the BO of the transaction your are refering to. To do this, you need to bind your BO event (triggering event) to the workflow container and then the workflow container to task container. This BO value should flow from event-> workflow -> task container to get the link in the User Decision.
    To do the binding you need to follow the following steps:
    1. Go to t-code SWDD and open your workflow template.
    2. Go to Basic Data (cap sign button at the top of the screen) or click Ctrl + F8
    3. Go to Start Events tab.
    4. In the Object type enter your BO name (BO for the transaction you need to add as link), in Event of object enter the BO event. This would serve as the triggering event for your workflow.
    5. Click on 'B' i.e. Binding Defined, click on generate automatic binding. It would automatically generate the appropriate binding for the workflow. You can also alter the binding as per requirement. This binding would ensure that the URL comes under 'objects and attachments' section.
    6. Click on 'C' i.e. Start Condition. A dialog would open, select the appropriate start condition for the workflow. Check the condition before saving (recommended).
    6. Click on 'A' to Activate the binding and start condition. All 'A', 'B' and 'C' would get green.
    7. Save the changes made and activate your workflow.
    8. Do the binding between the workflow and the user decision step. Select automatic binding (recommended).
    You can also refer to the similar thread that I had provided solution to. This would help you resolve the issue!

    Hi,
    I think this step can't be used. If you try to use it you will get the below error message from the system.
    No maintenance interface exists for your chosen step type. This means that not all step types can be configured in the workflow configuration for example.

    TS is correct,
    this may be another solution, but a quite complex and I'm not sure that it works fine for your requirements. Besides, probabily enrichment is not in your MDM package because needs another license. In any case this solution required java customizing.
