Error: Binding from workflow to workitem aborted

Hi ,
I am getting an error in binding which I am not able to resolve. Let me try to explain the scenario first.
1) In the workflow a container element is existing with the name ZBUS2081 which is having reference to object type BUS2081.
2) BUS2081 is having an <b>attribute</b> "Company code" which is again having reference to object type BUS0002. BUS0002 has a key field "CompanyCodeId" which is having reference to database table T001-BUKRS.
3) In a particular step of the workflow there is a binding between ZBUS2081.Companycode.CompanyCodeId ->CCODE where CCODE is a task container element having dictionary reference T001-BUKRS.
4) When the workflow is executing it is giving error in this particular step. The error description are "Binding from workflow to workitem aborted" "ZBUS2081.Companycode.CompanycodeId of binding assignment is not available " Error when determining attribute COMPANYCODE of object"
5) When I check the container in the technical details I see that ZBUS2081.Companycode.CompanycodeId is set to a value. I also checked the corresponding database table for the invoice document and found that this value is existing.
Can anybody please help me on this as to why this binding error is occuring?
Thanks in advance,
Abhishek

Hi Kjetil,
the workflow started when a document is parked. Its triggering event is BUS2081-Parked. Even I was thinking in the same lines that may be the workflow is trying to access database information which has not been updated at that moment.
When I checked the attribute Companycode of object BUS2081 I even found that the source is set to "Database field" and not "Virtual".
But when I check the workflow container ZBUS2081.Companycode.CompanycodeId is having the correct value. This means the data <b>has</b> been fetched correctly from the database.
Hence I feel if we cannot use an attribute with object reference directly in the binding, rather use a container operation to assign the value to another workflow container element and then use this element in the binding.
Any inputs from any body to confirm this are welcome.
regards,
Abhishek

Binding from workflow to work item aborted

Hi,
In my workflow the first two steps are multi condition.
after my second condition i have created activity   step   - Task   and binding the bapi attribute value.
i checked binding no error.
I am getting error in this part.
The error is
Workflow 'TEST' step number 1039: work item could not be created
Source (expression '&PurchaseRequisition.Zvalue&') of binding assignment is not available
Error in the evaluation of expression '&PurchaseRequisition<???>.Zvalue&' for item '20'
Step 15 of WS23000111: Binding from workflow to work item aborted
Error when determining attribute 'Zvalue' of object instance '[BO.BUS2105.001039]'
Step 15 of WS23000111: Binding from workflow to work item aborted
Message no. WFEA031
Diagnosis
Serious errors have occurred in the binding from workflow to work item in step 15 of multistep task WS23000111. As a consequence, workflow 1039 has been forced into error status.
Procedure
"Change Workflow Container" then "Restart After Error" may suffice. It is probable, however, that the binding definition in WS23000111, step 15will have to be changed.
pl help me to proceed further.
Thnks in advance.

Hi,
Seems that your custom BOR is not delegated to the supertype, please do the same in SWO6 and
also check the binding from event to workflow.

Attachments from Workflow to ABAP Webdynpro launched from UWL

Hi All,
You might have seen a recent post from me for sending attachments from ABAP Webdynpro to Workflow.
I could do that by just calling SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD. I didnt have to create an instance of the SOFM object
by passing the ATT_ID from this function module.
Now the next task of the workflow which is sent to UWL, automatically carries the attachements in the Workitem.
I didnt do binding from workflow container to Task container. (I dont know how!!)
But I need to get those attachments on my ABAP Webdynpro after it is launched from UWL.
For this I am using SAP_WAPI_GET_ATTACHEMENTS. But this FM is giving me the BOR reference.
How do use this to get the attachments displayed on my Webdynpro as links?
Thanks
Deb

Hi Debabra,
I have similar requirement where I want to add new attachment from Webdynpro abap to workflow and again next level want to view it in UWL in another Webdynpro abap from workflow.
I am trying to attach the document from Webdynpro to Workflow I used FM SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD and looks like it attached in workflow.
Can you please tell how the second part was solved where I want to attach document from workflow to Webdynpro abap
Thanks,
ST

Extract interactive form attachment from workflow workitem

Hi Friends,
I created a Webdynpro Java application which has an interactive form.
The user fills out the form, and submits.
The submission action triggers a simple workflow and adds the interactive form as an attachment to the workitem. (Using SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW and SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD)
The new task shows up in UWL with the attached pdf form.
When user clicks the on the task in UWL, I want to launch another web dynpro application which will read the workitem id and get and display the interactive form in the web dynpro java application.
How do I extract the interactive pdf form from workflow in binary format?
so that I can display the form in my Web dynpro java application and bind it to the pdfSource context??

I thought I could just call the SAP_WAPI_GET_ATTACHMENTS, however this only returns some docId information for example:
OBJECT_ID DESCRIPT SHORTTEXT
SOFM FOL18 4 EXT34000000000023 Office Document Office Document
I need to get the binary for this pdf interactive form.

Every time I sign into my Macbook, I get an error message from Automator; "The data couldn't be read because it has been corrupted.". I have never created an Automator workflow. How do I find out what Automator is trying to run and stop it?

Every time I sign into my Macbook, I get an error message from Automator; "The data couldn't be read because it has been corrupted.". I have never created an Automator workflow. How do I find out what Automator is trying to run and stop it?

Maybe it's set as a login item:
- System Preferences: Users and Groups:
- Highlight your user account in the left pane/list
- Click "Login" tab at the top.
See if you have an Automater action on the list
- Note, you can select it, then right-click, and can then select "Reveal in Finder". That way you might have an idea what installed it.

Sending mail from workflow inbox to outlook,when idoc error occurs

Hi All,
I tried to send a mail to outlook from workflow by giving the email address in the step mail, but it was not working.
i am getting the workitem in the sap inbox so tried setting the automating forward which we can forward from the sap inbox to outlook.
Searched in SDN , but my issue was not solved..
Could you please help me out with this issue to get the mail from workflow to outlook inbox.
Thanks,
Praveena

Hi Praveena,
Please check if the necessary SCOT settings have been made in your system to send mails outside SAP box. Check with your basis team if the SMTP connection between external system (Outlook, Lotus, etc) has been maintained or not.
Then check in t-code SOST if you are getting the mail here when sent from workflow.
Hope this helps!

Error in PR workflow - 'Object does not exist '.

Hi experts,
We have a custom workflow configured from purchase requisition, uses object BUS2105. Now there is an error which occurs in ad hoc basis due to which this workitem ends in error. Error says 'You tried to create an instance of the object type BUS2105 with the key <PR number>. No instance of this kind exists'. This is happening only for the PR create scenario. During change, no such error is coming.
This is happening before any method defined in workflow steps is called. If anyone has faced, resolved this kind of issue, please provide your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
Sumanth

Check the binding from event to workfow container..whether all mandatory workflow conatainers are getting values properly or not...
I think you need to pass the item number as well...

About ale error handling in workflow?

Hi,
can any one explian in detail ale error handling through workflow,its urgent for me.
Regards,
phani

Hi Srikanth,
follw the steps it will helpful u,
Pre-requisites.
It is assumed that the reader of this article has some knowledge in SAP workflow BOR objects and ALE Idoc process like process code, Partner Profile etc.
Description
Here, we will be discussing in details the Error handling of an Inbound Idoc through triggering an event, which in turn will be triggering a workflow attached to the workflow.
Steps:-
1.     Create custom BOR object with the events, Start and Stop event
2.     Create a workflow for the error handling, like generating a notification whenever an error occurred in the Inbound Idoc.
3.     Creation of Function Module and attachment with the Process Code
4.     Create the settings for the Inbound Process of the Idoc through the Process Code.
Creation of BOR objects. Go to the[http://www.****************/Tutorials/ALE/ErrorHandling/page3.htm] transaction SWO1.
Enter a name for the Object type and click CREATE button for creating the custom BOR object.
Enter the details required for creating the BOR objects...
Create the Key fields and events of the BOR object.
For creating the Key fields place the cursor on the Key fields and Click on the Create Button
Create events for triggering the workflow and stopping the workflow.
For creating the event place the cursor on the EVENTS and Click the create button like Key fields.
Create two events.
Enter the event name description etc and proceed further to create it.
Similarly create another event for ending the Workflow in the similar manner like that created earlier.
Now, Generate the BOR object through the generate button
Release the EVENTS and subsequently release the BOR object.
After the creation of BOR object
Create a workflow for the generation of notification whenever an error is reached in the Inbound Idoc.
Execute the transaction SWDD.
Click on the CREATE button for creating the workflow for error handling.
Choose the Step type to be inserted for the notification like here we are using Send Mail option for sending a mail to the user whenever any error occurred.
Activate the Workflow and test it whether it is working as per the requirement.
After the successful completion it is required to attach the workflow with the event.
Go to the Header section (Denoted by CAP).
Go to the Start Events TAB.
Enter the details of the event with which the workflow should be linked like the category, BOR object type and the event with which that should be linked.
Enter here the BOR object that has been created and give the name of event created for starting the workflow.
Click on the Binding Button for generating the binding between the event and the workflow.
Click on the Binding Button for generating the binding between the event and the workflow.
Generate the binding and click OK button to save the binding.
Click on Activate / deactivate button for activating the linkage.
After the successful linkage the following sign will appear on the workflow.....
This shows that the workflow has been linked to the event and it will be triggered whenever that particular event will be triggered.
After the creation and successful linkage of workflow with the event it is required it is required to generate a function module and attached it to the process code.
Go to SE37 transaction and copy a standard process code function module to a custom one. Do no delete any parameters from the function module as the SAP standard program itself is calling this.
In that function module do the required validation and whenever the validation fails set a standard parameter WORKFLOW_RESULT to 9999 from within the function module, otherwise normally proceed to set the status to 53.
After the creation of function module it is required to attach it to the process code and corresponding attached to the message type at the Partner Profile stage.
The process code is being created through the transaction WE42
Go to the change mode and click the New Entries button for creating new process code.
Enter the Process Code Name, description and choose the processing type as Processing by function module. Click on the extension button of Identification.
The details for the of the Process Code after clicking the identification button will be
Whenever idoc arrives into the Destination system then the standard SAP triggers the Process code attached to the Message type in the partner profile. The partner profile is being maintained in the transaction WE20.
Since, it is and inbound scenario so the message type and the corresponding process code will be maintained for the Inbound Parameters.
Click on Create Inbound Parameters button for creating new Inbound Message type and the corresponding message type.
Enter the process code for the corresponding message type.
Click SAVE button for saving the changes.
Whenever the IDOC arrives into the target system, it checks the partner profile and finds the corresponding process code. The process code is being linked with the function module through which the IDOC is required to be processed.
Regards,
Phani.

Error in executing workflow service

Hi All,
I have followed this blog to consume workflow service and take decisions on workitems. Everything was fine except the last step. When I execute application URL with apply decision i am getting following error.. Please help me to resolve this.
Thanks,
Suman

Hi nabheet madan
I recreated this issue in my system and I was also getting same error.
On further debugging, I found that the error comes from class /IWWRK/CL_WF_READ_WORKITEM in the method READ_ITEM_VALIDATION.
Internal table mt_wi_wapi_agents is read with sy-uname.
This internal table mt_wi_wapi_agents is getting filed by FM SAP_WAPI_GET_WI_AGENTS in other method within same Class.
I checked with below workflow id which are there in my inbox. 2 are in In Process status and one is in Ready status.
so the items which are in 'In Process' status will get approved as per standard logic. and to make the item which is in Ready status to In process, We need to execute it in SWBP inbox and then need not to approve/reject as mentioned in earlier response.
I do agree with you that even items which are in Ready status should be processed without error but this is how the validation logic is there in standard method.

Chandra

Error when associating workflow with Task Content Type

Using SharePoint Designer 2010, I have created a simple workflow that sends an email out when a tasks due date has past. I created this as a Global Workflow and then tried to "Associated to Content Type", selecting "Task". I am then taken
to... COMPANY PORTAL--> Site Settings--> Site Content Types--> Task--> Add a Workflow. When I try to associate the new "Global" workflow and select OK I get the following error...
Error
Workflows may not be associated with content types whose base is on 'WorkflowTask'.
I have looked up the error but find no real explination of what it means. And I have associated global workflows with custom content types and never had this issue.
So what's going on?
Thanks
Steve
Thanks in advance for your time. Steven

Hi ,
I understand that when you bind the workflow to Tasks content type, there is an error. I can reproduce this error. This is because we cannot add a reusable workflow to a workflow tasks content type. When you add the reusable workflow to the Tasks content
type, you must have checked the ‘Add this workflow to all content types that inherit from this content type’. In this way, the workflow will be added to all the Tasks content type and workflowtasks content type. There will an error. After you close the error
message, the workflow is added to the Tasks content type.
The workaround is the check No to ‘Add this workflow to all content types that inherit from this content type’.
Thanks,

Extract interactive form from workflow attachment

I have a multi-step approval process where you want to store the data in
the
backend only after final approval. (requestor >> expert >> approver)
I developed a WDJ app with Interactive forms that triggers Business
Workflow...
I created a Webdynpro Java application which contains an interactive form
for the Requestor.
The Requestor fills out the form, and submits. The submission action
triggers a simple workflow and adds the interactive form as an attachment
to
the workitem. (Using SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW and
SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD)
The new task shows up in UWL with the attached pdf form.
When the approver clicks on the task in UWL it will launch a web dynpro
application which will display the interactive form.
How do I extract the interactive pdf form from workflow?
I want to display the form in my Web dynpro java application and bind
it to the pdfSource context??

Can we know the reason why do you need to extract the Interactive Form from Workflow.When you are calling the workflow try to save the form in a shared folder and save the url of the shared folder in a field and try to acces it by using SAP Activity.You can create a button for that create an SAP activity and when you click on the button the Interactive Form can be opened.
Iam not sure weather i have answered your question or not?

How we can acess GOS to pop up automatically to user from workflow is our a

we plan to implement invoice verification workflow to start when an invoice is scanned and placed in holder in OAWD. So that workflow will start from then onwards with SAP archive link.
Please let us know how we can link scanner and SAP Archive link so that we can place the scanned document directly in to OAWD. how we open the image automatically when approver or AP clerk execute the workitem.
The process we want to follow is
1. Scan document and place in OAWD
2 Workflow is started based on the document type of Archive link( we want to use BKPF)
3 AP clerk receives workitem and execute it. APclerk see the transaction code FV60 to enter document and image of the scan automatically
4 AP clerk fill the document and park the document.
5 Workitem is sent to approver based on the rule specified
6 Approver execute the transaction invoice iamge is opened and sap document is displayed.
7 Approver check both image and sap docuemnt and take decision
8 Approver approves document , sap document is posted and ready for payment
9 If rejected go back to AP clerk.
Here issue is when user or approver execute the workitem ,how we can open image automatically along with sap screen.
or how we can acess GOS to pop up automatically to user from workflow is our another isssue

Hi,
It is possible to launch the stored image as soon as workitem is executed. You will need to maintain the archivelink customization to display stored document. Check the following link
[Displaying Stored Document|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/4f/993685446d11d189700000e8322d00/content.htm]

When registering the system in UWL, specify a WebDynpro Launch System. That should resolve the issue.
WebDynpro Launch System -- create a system of type WAS and mention the WAS host name and WAS path.
