Creation of task via ABAP

Hello Experts,
I am SRM Consultant & working on a requirement related to portal. We have a requirement to create a task (Universal worklist) automatically from ABAP i.e. Customized SRM transaction. Is it possible to achieve this ?? IF so can anyone tell me step by step how can I achieve this ??? Would appreciate if anyone can send me a document or step-by-step way to do this.
Would reward points definitely for helpful answer.
Thanx in advance.

Hi Michael,
Many thanks for the reply. Actually I thought of one alternative as workflow task only but it does not have collboration feature like the task created via Universal worklist.
Basically the requirement is Users and approvers must be able to add multiple trackers / approvers in the task created from ABAP which is not possible when workflow task is created.
Can you suggest something for above reqmt ?
Thanks again,
Rajeshree

Assign resource to task via abap automatically

Hi experts.
I need to assign via abap a resource to a task.
The scenario is the following:
I have a RoleA with 4 resources staffed (Resource1, Resource2, Resource3, Resource4) and 2 tasks assigned (Task1, Task2).
I need to assign for example Resource1 to Task1 via abap knowing:
- Task1 guid
- RoleA guid
- Resource1 business partner guid.
How is it possible?
Is there a function module or a method to do this?
Thanks,
Luca

Luca;
I never used this functionality.
This "Resource" tab strip that you mentioned used the Object BUS2177.
I found this BAPI's:
BAPI_BUS2177_CREATE
BAPI_BUS2177_CANDIDATE_ADD
BAPI_BUS2177_STAFFING_ADD (this BAPI may helpyou)
Explore with this, I think that you are closer to solve this thread.
Hope this help you.
Best regards,
Mariano.
PD: Points will be apreciated.

How to extract data from BPC InfoCube via ABAP program?

Hi experts!!
I tried to extract data from a BPC InfoCube via ABAP program, but I did'n have succeed.
I used the function 'RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ' to extract data from standard InfoCubes such as '0COPC_C07' and it run OK! However, when I change the InfoCube name to '/CPMB/WAIX8NE' (BPC InfoCube), everything goes wrong...
Is there any difference between extracting data from BPC and standard InfoCubes?
Thank you all!

Push data from BW 3.5 to XI 3.0 via ABAP proxy

Hi,
I have the following scenario: I´m in BW 3.5 trying to send data to XI 3.0 via ABAP proxy. I´ve already found a "How-to" to do build this scenario, but something does not work. I think that problem is when a try do the logon from BW to XI because I got the message "logon data not provided" on http service in XI. I´ve already configure an RFC Destination(SM59) as R/3 connection(type 3) and another as HTTP connection to R/3(type H) and both are correct. Someone knows where I configure the user/pass to logon from BW Intergration Server to XI Integration Server?

Hello fellows!
I discovered that my problem was configuration on SXMB_ADM transaction.
Thank you very much for your help!

Delete Overlapping Requests - by Filename via ABAP Routine

Hi SDN Community
Do you know if it is possible to set the delete overlapping request parameters to recoginse the file name, and remove it via the derivation of the file name via an ABAP Routine.
I am using an ABAP routine to derive the flat flat file upon loading, but do not know the syntax, or if it is possible to set this equivalent code into the delete overlapping request Routine area
(The code basically derives the first day of the calendar week, for previous weeks in the Do n times Loop

However, i could not find this process type in the process chain area.
Is this where you meant, can you please give me more detailed steps including long syntax of names of process types
We are on BW 3.50
i assumed the filename had to be constructed via abap according to some of the sdn replies i've searched through.
Thank you.

Problem with complete task via email

Hello,
I have problem with complete task via email. I found this blog very useful (http://blogs.adobe.com/ADEP/2010/11/how-to-complete-a-task-via-email-using-reply-to-comple te.html), but...
I set up everything as it’s written in blog mentioned above. When a task is assigned to me, I received an email notification with actions (accept, deny). After that I replied with action “accept”. Then I received email with subject “Errors from LiveCycle ES”:
LiveCycle ES has tried to process your request and encountered the following error:

Can you me please? I have no idea what to do to succesfully complete task via email endpoint. Thanks

Hi Diana, thanks for your reply.
You're probably right about 2 different error messages.
To the 1st one: I'm sure that status task is Assigned (to me). I received an email and I also reply on that email.
To error log: I found out that error log appears when I enable email endpoint on Complete Task service. But I managed to solve this problem. I set wrong user. Now I have here the same user as is written in login-config.xml so log seems to be ok.
So I created new task and tried to complete it via email. Now I receive email with another error:
LiveCycle ES has tried to process your request and encountered the following error:
com.adobe.idp.dsc.provider.service.email.impl.EmailProviderException: Error getting user context

And to the last point: email endpoint is set up with TestPOP3@mydomain and user receiving email has jpetrla@mydomain. I use Lotus Notes as email client, I tried another account with gmail, but the result was same.
Now I really don't know to do...

Sales order creation using webdynpro in ABAP

Plz give the process how to create sales order creation using webdynpro in ABAP. if not possible plz let me know how to create in JAVA.
It is very urgent. I hope i will get it very soon.
Thanks all
Sai

In your WDA application, all you need to do is call the BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 when the user clicks some button. Most likely, you can put the code for this BAPI call in the onAction method for your button.

How to assign an output type to a document via ABAP

Hello Guru's
I have an interface with a 3rd party system to send information from deliveries. When a delivery is created, we trigger output with 'Post goods issue' and output triggers the interface.
We need to also trigger output with 'reverse goods issue' and here is the problem. When GI is cancelled I don't know how to trigger the interface having the control from Sales not from MM.
I'm thinking to use the same approach assigning an output to the delivery in a user-exit of GI cancellation process. But I don't know how to assign this output to a delivery document using ABAP. I have looked for BAPI's or Functions but no successful.
- Do you know how to assign outputs to documents via ABAP?
- Do you have any other idea to trigger the interface when GI is cancelled?
Thank you in advance,
Manuel

Send a mail via ABAP program

Hello Experts,
I want to send mail via ABAP program with the following requirements :
1. Recipient is OUTLOOK email -id
2. Sender address has to be an external email-id
3. Send mail as CC and BCC also to other email-id.
Is there any function module which can satisfy all the above requirements.
Regards,
Mansi.

hi,
this code will definately help you just go through it:
firstly exported the data to memory using the FM LIST_FROM_MEMORY.
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
TABLES
listobject = t_listobject
EXCEPTIONS
not_found = 1
OTHERS = 2.
IF sy-subrc 0.
MESSAGE e000(su) WITH text-001.
ENDIF.
then i converted it into ASCII using LIST_TO_ASCI,
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_TO_ASCI'
TABLES
listasci = t_xlstab
listobject = t_listobject
EXCEPTIONS
empty_list = 1
list_index_invalid = 2
OTHERS = 3.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
MESSAGE e003(yuksdbfzs).
ENDIF.
This gives the data in ASCII format separated by '|' and the header has '-', dashes. If you use this internal table directly without any proccesing in SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1, then you will not get a good excel sheet attachment. To overcome this limitation, i used cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline and cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab to add horizontal and vertical tabs to the internal table, replacing all occurences of '|' with
cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
Set the doc_type as 'XLS', create the body and header using the packing_list and pass the data to be downloaded to SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 as contents_bin.
This will create an excel attachment.
Sample code for formatting the data for the attachment in excel format.
u2022     Format the data for excel file download
LOOP AT t_xlstab INTO wa_xlstab .
DESCRIBE TABLE t_xlstab LINES lw_cnt.
CLEAR lw_sytabix.
lw_sytabix = sy-tabix.
u2022     If not new line then replace '|' by tabs
IF NOT wa_xlstab EQ cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '|' IN wa_xlstab
WITH cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
MODIFY t_xlstab FROM wa_xlstab .
CLEAR wa_xlstab.
wa_xlstab = cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.
IF lw_cnt NE 0 .
lw_sytabix = lw_sytabix + 1.
u2022     Insert new line for the excel data
INSERT wa_xlstab INTO t_xlstab INDEX lw_sytabix.
lw_cnt = lw_cnt - 1.
ENDIF.
CLEAR wa_xlstab.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Sample code for creating attachment and sending mail:
FORM send_mail .
u2022     Define the attachment format
lw_doc_type = 'XLS'.
u2022     Create the document which is to be sent
lwa_doc_chng-obj_name = 'List'.

How to get the file on the content server via ABAP

Hi
We are working on an abap that should download certain files stored on the content server and store them on a different file location using GUI_DOWNLOAD. How can we retrieve the files (PDF's) via ABAP from the contentserver?
Hope someone can help
Cheers

Hi,
I think the DMS BAPIs could be useful here. For example you can use BAPI Document_CheckOutViewX or Document.CheckOutView2. You will find the documentation for these BAPIs in transaction BAPI under subtopic 'Cross-Application-Components'.
Further maybe the information in the SAP note 504692 and 796709 could be useful too.
Best regards,

Hi,
yes I know, I have used the MessageTransformBean module, and the PayloadSwapBean module. But which parameter I should use for leaving only one attachement in the e-mail. I did this configuration:
1
localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean
Local Enterprise Bean
trans
2
localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
Local Enterprise Bean
swap
3
localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean
Local Enterprise Bean
trans1
4
localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
Local Enterprise Bean
mail
Module configuration
trans
Transform.ContentDisposition
inline
swap
swap.keyName
payload-name
swap
swap.keyValue
Segur
trans1
Transform.ContentDescription
Segur
trans1
Transform.ContentDisposition
attachment;filename="Segur.xls"
trans1
Transform.ContentType
application/vnd.ms-excel;name="Segur.xls"
In the e-mail I get one attachement without name .xml and another one Segur.xsl, and I want only one attachment, the last one. What I should change in my configuration??

How to create a dynamic file via ABAP

Hi all,
We have a requirement of storing all internal table data into a temporary file in application server and later the same file will be passed as an input to shell script to meet our business requirement. Here I'm not sure how can we create a temporary file at run time through abap . I'm sure this is certainly possible via Java, Can any one suggest me how temporary file will be create via abap. Also please note that developer shouldn't give this file name any where from selection screen and system itself should create a file with certain name.
Please advise.
Thanks

Hope this helps: [Working with files |http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/Workingwithfiles#Workingwithfiles-Workingwithfilesontheapplicationserver] you need to use open dataset stmt to create files in app server..
if you check the open dataset stmt in any examples in net, you will find the file name which is of type string... to generate a dynamic file name all you need to do is to build the file name dynamically say by using concatenate statements..
concatenate 'PROGNAME' sy-datum sy-uzeit into <filename>.
open dataset <filename> for input .

Create Directory via ABAP on Application Server

Hej folks,
does anybody know how to create a directory on the ApplServer via ABAP?
Thanks in advance!
boris

You can create an external command via SM69 which you can then invoke through function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE
For NT you'd need something like the following:
Operating system command
cmd
Parameters for operating system command
/c mkdir
$/SAPGLOBALHOST/\?
Have fun,

Direct Link to Next Task via Email

I would like to send a direct link to the next process task via e-mail. In this scenario a user would receive notification to complete a task assigned to them and be able to access that task directly from a link in the mail.
I am currently able to send out notifications and provide test links in that notification. What I do not yet know is how to link directly to the next task.
Is there a WebDynpro app provided by GP where you can pass a process task id as a parameter and link directly to that task in runtime? If so how do I retrieve the task id of the next task from the process?
Best Regards

Hi,
Before the process step for which you want to send the notification to the user add another process step using the pre-defined callable object Send Notification. You need to assign a mail template to that CO. So create a mail template with a standard message body and include the following as a replacement for the next task URL :
`
writeln(sy.workitemurl);
`
Assign the send mail to the same processor of the next action and when the user gets the mail the URL of the next task will be present in the mail message. Clicking that he/she can directly open the next task in portal.
Thanks,
Dipankar

How to access UWL tasks from ABAP ?

Hello workflow experts!
We are using UWL adhoc workflows (java workflow) in connection with Portal collaboration rooms. The system creates the tasks in the java workflow with relation to the collaboration room - so far so good.
Now I would need to read adhoc tasks (or workflows) from ABAP. I have not found any API yet. Does someone know how to get Java workflow tasks from ABAP ?
Thank you in advance!
Johannes

Hi Johannes ,Please see if this information helps.
WebFlow offers the open interface called Wf-XML.The Wf-XML interface is based on XML and allows workflows from different vendors to communicate with each other.Wf-XML is the only open interface for supporting interoperability of business processes.
Wf-XML comes from the Workflow Management Coalition, an independent body of workflow vendors.
The Actional control broker integrates directly into SAP WebFlow enabling proxy objects to be called directly from the workflow step. When called, the proxy method will make a call to the outside system either as a background task or as a dialogue step.
These proxy objects are generated in the SAP system using a converter which converts the objects interface to the SAP syntax.
A detailed description of the interface is available on the WfMCs web site at www.wfmc.org.
