ECC 6.0 - WS20000050 - Container Elements from Workflow to Rule in step 172

Hello Guys/Gals,
Hope you all are doing good.
Greatly appreciate if you could help on this with some tips.
We are under the process of the upgradation to ECC 6.0. Decided to use the std WF WS20000050 for travel request.However work flow ended in error at step 372(Approve Travel request) saying
"Source (expression '&TRIP.EMPLOYEENUMBER&') of binding assignment is not available" and
"Source (expression '&TRIP.TRIPNUMBER&') of binding assignment is not available" and
Error in the evaluation of expression '<???>&TRIP.TRIPNUMBER&' for item '1'..etc.
Can anyone tell what is are the container elements need to be passed and possible errors.
Good Day.
Raj

Hello,
Check in SWO1 if the BO related to the TRIP container element has those attributes (EMPLOYEENUMBER and TRIPNUMBER) and if so then check in the workflow log if they have a value.

Multiline container element in workflow

Dear all,
I am using a multiline container element in workflow container. Can anybody suggest how I can see the values of that element? After workflow execution is COMPLETED and I go to SWI1, it shows only simple elements. It doesn't show any of my multiline elements.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Pranav.

Hi Pranav,
It does work in 6.20. I am not sure about 4.6C.
Display Technical Details from the Workflow log for your WF instance. You can examine the Container values for each of the steps. See if the values show up (are you certain your multiline container has been populated?). If you are populating the multiline container from an object method, verify by testing your object method that the parameter are correctly defined and it is getting populated.

How to use data of multiline element from workflow container

Hi,
Can you please tell me how to access rows of multiline element of workflow container.
Scenario is like below.
I have values in a multiline container(table) of workflow container.
Now inside Fork branches i need to check for specific data in the above table and with that condition i have to send workitem.
I hope u can understand,otherwise please revert.
Thanks in advance,
Madhu

You cannot didrectly check the condition...
what you have to do is.. write a inside the method as below and set the flag...and use the flag in condition editor...
SWC_GET_TABLE CONTAINER 'AGENTS' lt_agents.
loop at lt_agents ino wa_agents.
if wa_agents = 'A'.
lv_flag = X.
endif.
endloop.
SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'FLAG' lv_flag.
Create an export parameter FLAG as char1 with export marked.
Do the neccesary bindings from task to workflow.
Then in workflow check this flag in condition editor.

How to create a container element in workflow container

Hi,
I am learning WF by a Tutorial. In which absence of notification was considered as example. As per tutorial, I created two task for creating a Notification and checking a absence
In the next step it ask to create a container element(approver) to workflow container. How i can create the same.
Also, please clarify me on the binding between task container and workflow container....with this example
Thanks
Suresh

Hi,
On the workflow builder LEFT side below the navigation area u can see this <Double-Click to Create>.
Double click and create the container.
During binding it looks as follows.
Workflow -
> Task
Workflow <----
Task
What happen here is from workflow the data passed to task and it is used for processing, after that it returned back to the workflow. Now u can create the container on bothside and bind the data. ie Variables.
Creating container u can refer : http://www.****************

Hiding a container element from a standard applicaition

hi,
i have a requirement to remove the UI elements in a transparent container from a view of a standard webdynpro component HRRCF_C_PREFERENCES_UI. This component is being used as a sub component in a main application.
The transparent container within has a drop down list and a few buttons.
So i created a component configuration for the component HRRCF_C_PREFERENCES_UI and changed the property of the UI element in the configuration to invisible. This worked, the container element was invisible in the application. But two other containers next to the UI element that was hidden did not move to the left . No proper alignment.
Is this the standard behavior of a component configuration? i don't think so.
Now in my option, the other only possible option is to hide the button by changing the attribute in the WDDOMODIFYVIEW method of the view.
Could someone please help me how to set the attribute problematically? Is there a different way to meet this requirement?
Need some help.Thanks.
Best Regards,
Sridharan

Hi,
Just go to enhancement mode in your webdynpro component and delete that button from UIElement hierarcy.
If you want your button back, delete the enhancement.

Import workflow container element to program exits

Hi Friends
Can you please let me know if we can import container elements from workflow to program exits in step?
Regards
Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
Yes you can import container elements from the workitem (not the workflow) to the program exit. You need an element which references the container (if_swf_ifs_parameter_container). You probably have an attribute in you class which is a reference to IF_WAPI_WORKITEM_CONTEXT called M_CTX. This has a method called get_wi_container which will give you the workitem container. Now you not only have the option to read elements with method get in your container class, but there is also a method set which will allow you to fill or change values in the container.

Martin

Transfer container elements in another workflow

Hi again!
I have the problem that i should like to copy container elements from one workflow to another (like an Image, the Scanagent...)
Is their any easy way to do this?
THX
Regrads
Phil

Hi Karri,
sry i was wrong. The Problem is that we want use the standard of SAP. We have 2 Workflows (WS80000245 and WS80000247). The Workflow WS80000245 uses the Function of ArchivLink and the WS80000247 starts by using a trigger event of the ArchivLink Function (A Dynpro archive an Image and starts the WS80000245. After this step a user has the option to call for a Rescan or to create a Bill. If he wants to create a Bill the Workflow WS80000247 starts because of an Object Type what was triggered).
But now we have the Problem that we need Informationu2019s of the other Workflow (Like Scanagent, Scandate, Image....)
Is there an easy possibility to get this container element informations?
THX

Container Element!!!!!!!! in workflow

Hi to alll.....
Can anyone throw some light on "Container element " in workflow....
Why do we need that ? whats the purpose of that..
Plz its urgent..
Regards,
Sanjana

hi Sanjana,
The workflow container contains an element which is defined with a data type reference to the same object type that is created in the referenced task, this binding definition is proposed automatically when an activity is defined.
If no element with an appropriate data type reference is available in the workflow container, a suitable element is added to the workflow container and the binding entered.
For more info pz go through the link given below,u will get the useful info regarding creation of container element and much more .

please reward if u find the info useful for u

Assigning a value to container element in rule defination

I am using a rule to determine an actual agent. I am using a function module containing actor_tab and ac_conatiner in TABLES parameter. the agent determined is appended to internal table actor_tab. I want this agent to be available in a container element(say: APPROVER) to use it further. I am trying to assingn the agent value to container element using macro swc_set_element ac_container 'APPROVER' agent-name. But its not working...any other way to assgn this agent to the container element. Bindings from workflow container to rule container are proper.
Edited by: Rishi Bhatia on Oct 19, 2008 2:46 PM

i think you cannot modify the container element from Rule.
the agents of the task determined by the Rule will be stored in some variable of the container automatically (i think it is RuleResult.Agents). you can check this yourself and then bind this element of the task to your APPROVER element.

How to round value of container element in task description

I am trying to round the value of the container element from 3 decimals to 2 decimals for display purposes.
The command symbol in the task description is &_WI_Object_Id.OverallTotalCost&. I have looked at SAP Help and I have tried the suggestion of &_WI_Object_Id.OverallTotalCost(.2)& and &_WI_Object_Id.OverallTotalCost(Z.2)& with no success.
I have also searched the sap-wug mailing list and SAP ITToolBox and found no references rounding a container element in a task description. I have seen code assigning a value to a packed decimal variable to round. But I have not been able to get this to work as a command in a description for a task.

I created a new element in the container as suggested by Glauco and added the element binding in the workflow / task binding. Biggest hassle was finding a business object that had a type of 2 decimal places to use for the new container element.
The reason why the SAPScript symbol for reducing the number of decimals does not work in Task texts is because the container elment symbols are resolved first as text. Therefore only the SAPScript commands that apply to text will work like length.

Regarding container elements

please tell me how to transfer container elements from rule container to workflow container and can we debug rule

HI,
its like normal task <---> workflow container binding only. And, yes, you can debug the rule. If you are using Rule with FM, then it's just anyother FM debugging.
1 . Rule binding is same as task binging only , we need to pass all the import parameters correctly , make sure that all neccessary parameters are passing correctly then will get exact Agent .
2. we can dubug the Rule by putting /h or
by putting Break point inside the Function module
For this we need to Go to PFAC tcode there u can put directly /H - > Debug
other wise select Function module then put Break- point Inside the Fm and Debug.
