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,

Calling BSP from abap program by interfacing EP

Dear Friends...
I am cslling a BSP... from an ABAP program... for that I have used this class and also a function module to ckeck.. actually from the abap program it invoks the BSP page very nicely and as my logic for invoking the BSP is a part of the Business Object and it is associated with the Enterprise portal so... when i reach the ep and trigger that business object to instantiate the BSP page from my calling logic of abap... it goes to the ITS and port 80 or something and didnt produce the BSP.. and only the blank screen was there...kindly help me how i am supposed to instantiate the BSP from properly from ABAP by interfacing the EP... my code is given below...
data :
lv_url type string.
concatenate
'http://sapdevbp.sbic.co.za:8041/sap(bD1lbiZjPTIwMA==)'
'/bc/bsp/sap/z_updatemng/bp.htm?bpid=' object-key-businesspartnerid
into lv_url.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
exporting
document = lv_url
exceptions
others = 1.
please help....
me...

hi ,
you can try using FM CALL_BROWSER in your report(ABAP code)to call bsp,like
data url(200) type c.
url = 'http://<server>.<domain><port>:'.
concatenate url '/sap/bc/bsp/sap/' into url.
concatenate url 'your_bsp_app_name/your_start_page.bsp' into url.
concatenate url '?sap-user=<userid>' into url.
concatenate url '&sap-password=<passowrd>' into url.
CALL FUNCTION 'CALL_BROWSER'
EXPORTING
 URL = url
 WINDOW_NAME = ' '
 NEW_WINDOW = ' '
 BROWSER_TYPE =
 CONTEXTSTRING =
EXCEPTIONS
 FRONTEND_NOT_SUPPORTED = 1
 FRONTEND_ERROR = 2
 PROG_NOT_FOUND = 3
 NO_BATCH = 4
 UNSPECIFIED_ERROR = 5
 OTHERS = 6
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
For this to work you have to enable SSO on your server.
you can check if it is enabled or not by runnning the BSP application "SYSTEM" ,page "SSO2TEST.htm" .
Follow the instructions on the page for testing.
This may not be a great way as your userid password are passed via URL,still it works

How to trigger workflow from abap program

Hi Experts,
i have a user developed screen in which there is an option to approve (not a std tcode)
for which there is no event created.
i am very new to workflow ,
now how to create an event and also how to trigger the workflow

Hi,
You can run a ABAP report or call a transaction from the BOR's Method directly.
Check this link for more info.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/80/9a3cb3971c11d194c60000e82dec10/frameset.htm.
In order to trigger an event programmatically, we would use the function module SWE_EVENT_CREATE.
BUS1001006 ( Standard Material )
here is the sample code.
DATA: key LIKE sweinstcou-objkey.
key = '68." Material Number (hard-coded)
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
EXPORTING
objtype = 'BUS1001006'
objkey = key
event = 'CREATED'
CREATOR = ' '
TAKE_WORKITEM_REQUESTER = ' '
START_WITH_DELAY = ' '
START_RECFB_SYNCHRON = ' '
NO_COMMIT_FOR_QUEUE = ' '
DEBUG_FLAG = ' '
NO_LOGGING = ' '
IDENT =
IMPORTING
EVENT_ID =
TABLES
EVENT_CONTAINER =
EXCEPTIONS
OBJTYPE_NOT_FOUND = 1
OTHERS = 2
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ELSE.
WRITE 'Event Triggered'.
ENDIF.
COMMIT WORK.
In order to test whether the event is getting triggered or not, we can make use of Event Trace. Switch on the event trace using the transaction SWELS.
Press Switch On.
Now execute the program developed earlier. Now switch-off the event trace using the same transaction SWELS.
Now go to transaction SWEL. Here you can list out the events triggered in the particular period of time. Here is the event-trace list:

Call winhelp from ABAP programs

Hi,
I'm trying to display a windows help file in my ABAP application.
The idea: by pressing the info-button it should display the file "Info.chm".
I can display the file, if it is placed locally on the client machine, but I
want to store it in the system somehow, so that it is available to all of the
users.
How can I place it in some repository, and later call the HtmlHelp Application?
I saw an old example calling
CALL FUNCTION 'WIN_HELP' FROM 'SAP_GUI'
but it doesn't work anymore.
Best regards,
Stanimir

Brad,
I created the object in the SAP Web repository, transaction SMW0. These are the attributes of the object.
Z_SAP_HELP     fileextension     .chm
Z_SAP_HELP     filename     C:\Temp\SAP_help.chm
Z_SAP_HELP     filesize     28686
Z_SAP_HELP     mimetype     chm
Z_SAP_HELP     version          00001
I created a new Mine type: chm with extension *.chm
I associated %SystemRoot%\hh.exe as the editor for Mime type chm.
This worked fine for me, but my colleague was unable to successfully run SHOW_WEB_OBJECT until he also set up the editor associated with Mime type chm. Is there a way to systemically set up the association between a mime type and the editor so that each person does not have to go through this process?
Thanks
Bruce

Call variant from ABAP program

Hi all,
The users have created a variant that they use when they run their report. When they select the variant it works fine, but they want the program to run the variant for them. Can anyone give me some ideas as to where I can go to see some sample code, so I can try to figure out how to do this, please?
Thanks

Hi,
you can use function module below to get the values for the variant user has created
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
CALL FUNCTION 'RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS'
 EXPORTING
 report = Report Name
 variant = Variant name
 TABLES
 valutab = it_valutab
 EXCEPTIONS
 variant_non_existent = 1
 variant_obsolete = 2
 OTHERS = 3.
 IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
 WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
 ENDIF.
Then LOOP AT IT_VALUTAB INTO WA_VALUTAB WHERE SELNAME = 'YOUR FIRST SELECT OPTION NAME such as S_VBELN'.
 MOVE WA_VALUTAB-SIGN,WA_VALUTAB-OPTION, WA_VALUTAB-LOW, WA_VALUTAB-HIGH to the corresponding fields of your select option i.e. S_VBELN.
 APPEND S_VBLEN.
 ENDLOOP.
Similarly Loop at IT_VALUTAB for the remaining fields on the selection screen and append the values in the select options.
Please award points if it solves your problem.

How to trigger GP workflow through ABAP Program.

Hi All.
i have one scnerio , i want to create BOM through Custom Ztransaction that will be developed in ABAP Modulepool.
User will create BOM from this ztransaction through Transactional Iview in PORTAL,Once the user save transaction , i want to trigger a GP(Guided Procedure ) workflow,from ABAP Program.
is it possible to trigger GP workflow?
if yes how to do it , please suggest the way out.
Regards,
Shyam.

Hi lingana,
As u see in my requriment that, Workflow is not designed within SAP , But the Workflow will be designing
in SAP Netweaver, its a GP Workflow. And Ztransaction(Developed by ABAP) will be seen by user through portal and
he save transaction on PORTAL, In backend ABAP program will run , and after meeting certain condition, it should create
or(Initiate) GP workflow(process).
So my question is , how ABAP Program will call GP workflow, How the connection will be made in between ABAP Code and GP workflow framework.
If any doubt regarding requriment let me know,
Regards,
Shyam.

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

Execute webdynpro from abap program and return to the caller program

Guys,
I have a question here.
I know there is a way to call an abap webdynpro application from normal abap program by either using a class method, or use a function module WDY_EXECUTE_IN_PLACE by providing
the webdynpro application or using CALL TRANSACTION statement.
But, is there anyways that we can call the webdynpro application from abap program by supplying data to the webdynpro and display to the user from the portal, and then
once the user do some manipulation on the data, can we transfer back the data to the caller abap program?

hey ,
you can pack any web-dynpro program in tranasaction code and run it from R/3 and not via portal :
search in " SAPTECHNICAL" how to do so - for some reason i cant post a link here
than you can use call transaction .

ASA

Calling oracle procedure from ABAP program

There is a requirement to call the oracle stored procedure with some input parameter from ABAP program.
Suppose we have order number which is entered by the user in ABAP program.
This order number needs to be passed to oracle stored procedure as an input parameter in the same ABAP program.
We can call the oracle stored procedure without parameter using the following syntax
exec sql
execute procedure <procedure name>
end exec.
But do not know how to execute the oracle stored procedure with some input parameter?

Apologies , following is the correct code.
This will definetly solve your problem.
DATA scarr_carrid TYPE scarr-carrid.
SELECT-OPTIONS s_carrid FOR scarr_carrid NO INTERVALS.
DATA s_carrid_wa LIKE LINE OF s_carrid.
DATA name TYPE c LENGTH 20.
TRY.
 EXEC SQL.
 CREATE FUNCTION selfunc( input CHAR(3) )
 RETURNING char(20);
 DEFINE output char(20);
 SELECT carrname
 INTO output
 FROM scarr
 WHERE mandt = '000' AND
 carrid = input;
 RETURN output;
 END FUNCTION;
 ENDEXEC.
 LOOP AT s_carrid INTO s_carrid_wa
 WHERE sign = 'I' AND option = 'EQ'.
 TRY.
 EXEC SQL.
 EXECUTE PROCEDURE selfunc( IN :s_carrid_wa-low,
 OUT :name )
 ENDEXEC.
 WRITE: / s_carrid_wa-low, name.
 CATCH cx_sy_native_sql_error.
