Event container binding

I am new in WFs.
Ive defined bindings from the event container to the Workflow container In the Workflow Builder in the basic data of the workflow on the tab page Start Events.
The event Created has one input parameter like zwxorder-norder. (norder is defined as a key in BOR, not as an attriute)
Binding event -> workflow:
&_EVT_CREATOR& -> &_WF_INITIATOR&
&NORDER& -> &NORDER&
But the container is empty after starting of a workflow via SWUE with the event input parameter. Why so?
Thanks

Hi,
that could be a binding problem only try Automatic binding.
Thanks & Regards

Searching for Constant container event in binding

Hi All,
I need to pass some extra information into my workflow container. I am looking in Basic Data>Start Events>Binding and in the event container. I cannot find a constant to put into my workflow container &NI_DETAILS&
I have not worked extensively with wf in the past but have never came across this before, normally its very easy to find or it can generate it automatically.
Liam

What do you mean by constants. You can hardcode in the Binding part no issues the type should be matching. Please if you want to define some more container element In event you can do so from SWO1 provided it is a custom Event.
Of course you have to create new container element but not in standard event but in custom event. How that event gets value of that element that you have to either pass by coding or by other means. You cannot add element to Standard event Bcoz its of no use as this value will not be populated.
Thanks

Extra event container element in BUS2203

HI All,
I have a standard workflow template WS10400002 which has some start condtions defined. If you check in the binding between event container --> workflow container, there is a extra element for "Gross Amount(USD)". Kindly let me know how we can have an extra element.
I copied the template to my Z template and there that extra element is not available.
Kindly check in your systems and let me know.
There is no delegation of BO done.
Thanks & Regards,
Srinivas Rao.

Hi Pavan,
Thanks for the reply. I will make my question more clearer.
I dont want to do anything right noew regarding start condition set up . It is already done in the STANDARD template WS10400002. What I wish to understand is, when you will check the template in your system and check the event-> workflow binding, you will notice that there is extra container element "Gross Amount(USD)". Where did this come from ?
I hope I am clear this time..
Waiting for your reply..

Container to Container binding in Workflow binding editor

Hi all,
I have an issue using Container --> Container binding in the Workflow binding editor (transaction SWF_BAM). What I want to do is to be able to extend the data provided by the event (i.e call a BAPI using values supplied) before assigning it to the target structure.
This is what I have done:
- Created an entry in Event Linkage: Application Object to Message Proxy, where the object type is BUS2005 (event RELEASED)
and proxy is a generated proxy.
- In the binding editor, I clicked in the Binding Instruction selection and chose Container --> Container as Binding Instruction.
Now I have created my own class that implements the interface IF_SWF_IFS_BIND_TRANSFORM_CONT, so this class shows up in the drop down list under a section called Enhancement.
- The class I created and implemented the interface, now contains three methods, where Transform is one. I have put a break point in this method and when I trigger the event (transaction SWUE) the debugger stops. So, the call to the method works fine.
My problem is, that I cannot access the values provided by the event (these are supplied in parameter SOURCE_CONTAINER).
Is there anyone who have used this technique and could supply some example code? Is there another technique that I can use to obtain the same result?
Best regards
Patrik Donaldson

Hi to the both of you!
Thanks for you answer. I will try to elaborate.
My scenario is as follows. I want to react on the event CHANGED, of business object BUS2032 (SalesOrder). The information (field values) supplied by the container under EVTOBJECT (in the binding editor) does not fully correspond to what I need to populate in the receiver interface. I would like to send out i.e SalesOrderNumber and PricingProcedure to the receiver interface.
Now, SalesOrderNumber is supplied by the container (_EVT_OBJECT-SalesDocument, as seen in the binding editor), but hte PricingProcedure would have to be looked up in table VBAK using SalesOrderNumber as a key.
Issue 1: How do I get hold of the value of field SalesDocument in my class? (as I mentioned earlier I have created a class which references interface IF_SWF_IFS_BIND_TRANSFORM_CONT, so I have the transform method and I can put code there. I have put a break point, so I know processing stops there).
I tried to following:
CALL METHOD source_container->if_swf_ifs_parameter_container~get(
        EXPORTING
          name = 'SALESDOCUMENT'
        IMPORTING
          value = l_vbeln ).
No, success (cx_swf_cnt_elem_not_found). Makes me think that SalesDocument is not a parameter of the event but something else.
Issue 2: Once I have solved issue 1 and also lookup up the PricingProcedure. How do I go about setting my values in the receiver interface. I know I also have a reference to TARGET_CONTAINER in the TRANSFORM method, but where to go from there?
Any clues would be grately appreciated. Being successful with this scenario, would open for many interesting possibilities.
Best regards

CHANGE EVENT CREATOR IN EVENT CONTAINER

Hello,
In CRM 7.0, I need to change in the EVENT CONTAINER the element &_EVT_CREATOR&, wich passes the value to the &_Wf_Initiator&.
Can you please tell me where the EVENT COINTAINER is populated (FM, program, etc)
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Filipe Pinheira

Hello,
Of course, you can't change the event creator after it's been created, but I assume that's not what you're asking.
Look at the parameters of SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT and see if you can set the creator there.
If not, you could pass the name of the user as an event parameter and bind it to WF Initiator.

Include char 10000 in event container

Hi All ,
I want to pass long text to work flow through an event .
so i want to create a parameter of atleast 10000 ( not sure how much length text will come ) chars in to the event container .
But i am getting error ' Field ZSOBJ-ZLONG is too long to be included in the container '.
So is there any alternate solution for this ??
Regards,
Sijin K P.

Tried to use LSO_CP_SCORMLASTRINGVALUE-LSTRVALUE of length 4096 .
But still giving the same above error message .
My requirement is to pass long text which present in change master tab to workflow .
called this workflow through an event which will get triggerd from user exit .
So i will get this long text from user exit and need to pass this long text to event container and then bind to workflow.
For this need to create a parameter of the same type ( 10000 char ) in event container .

Can any body tell me about event container in workflows

hi Experts,
could you please tell me some details about event container concept. is there a way to see event container in SWO1 transaction. how can we create event container when we create new events.

Hi Praveen,
Event container is the container which stores the values of the BO attaribures which get assigned to that instance of the BO.
If you go to SWO1 transaction and check the BO for which the event is triggered, you would see all the possible attributes than can be assigned.
To pass the values of the BO event container to the workflow, you need to maintain the necessary binding between the BO event container and the workflow container. This can be done in the 'Basic Data', Start Events tab. If you click on automatic binding, the system would prompt for a default binding. You could opt to use that or create your own binding. Make sure that the datatypes match.
After mapping the event container to workflow container, you can check in the workflow log for the values passed to the workflow container. If you like to directly check the values stored in the event container, go to SWO1 and simulate an instance of the BO. You can then check the values there.
Hope this helps!

Saumya

How do I get them there , to map it with the workflow container element ?
Anyone please help me , with the step by step .

[Event] Event Container and Table

Hi,
It seems possible to pass a table as parameter in an event: I just have to put the appropriate type in the Event parameters in my class.
But, how do I fill this table with the Event container ?? I only see a SET method which does not seem to do any APPEND... Is there a specific method for table parameters of events ?
Here is the <i>usual</i> call :
TRY.
      CALL METHOD l_event_container->set
        EXPORTING
          name = 'NAME'
          value = w_name.
*         UNIT =
*       IMPORTING
*         RETURNCODE =
    CATCH cx_swf_cnt_container.
ENDTRY.
Thanks in advance for your replies !

thanks for suggestions but the problem seems to be due to the new FM interface ( SWE_CD_TEMPLATE_CONTAINER_FB_2 )
which handles BOR-References as compared to the old ( SWE_CD_TEMPLATE_CONTAINER_FB ).
When i use the old and populate multine element into the EVENT_CONTAINER which is defined in interface as table structure SWCONT it works fine.
There must be a SAP NOTE but no time to investigate further

Container binding issue

Hi All,
I have modified a SAP workflow and seem to have problems ppassing sata between steps, The first step I use object CA_WRTOFF method Write-off. This completes a write off. After this step variable DOCUMENTNUMBER is filled with the created document number.
In the next step I want to display the document, I use object CA_DOC method display. The main parameter it neeeds is document number. I try to use the generate binding. It will pass &CA_DOC& to &_WI_OBJECT_ID&. from workflow to step, both these objects contain document number.
However when I look in SWEL at the display document step &_WI_OBJECT_ID&. says no instaance under value? How can I populate this value. I try to manually add document number to the binding but am told I cannot use &_WI_OBJECT_ID&. as a target. I have CA_DOC set as inport and export. Any idea's?? I am on a 4.6 system
Thanks

Hi First of all thanks for your patience,
Second I seem to have passed the document number but it still is not actually passing to the document number field in trans FPE3 (I mentiooned FP08 in error before, that is ultimately my goal which I will clarify)
Ok here is what I am trying to accomplish
The original SAP wrtoff workflow CA_WRTOFF activates with event FP04 create writeoff, my company does not like the fact that when it goes to an approver the writeoff is held in limbo. This allows others access to the write off amount. So they have asked me to restructure the workflow.
The event link as above is CA_WRTOFF with event trigger approval required as above, the first thing I do in the workflow is complete the writeoff with object CA_WRTOFF method writeoff. I then send a user decision to the approver asking if he wants to display document, accept write-off, reverse write-off. I use CAA_DOC display for the display as CA_WRTOFF does not have document number associated with it.
In the last few moments I changed my binding in the display to coyp all elements except system, this has passed the document number to the display container. When the approver clicks on the display item it brings him to transaction FPE3 but does not populate the document number in FPE3. So the real issue is to have the display method take the approver to FPE3 and fill in the document number so all the approver has to do is hit enter.
Again thanks for your time and patience, Much appreciated. I am an ABAPPER but quite new to work flows.

Change document - Workflow Event Container value not passed

Hi Iam working on a customer create notification scenario where in we are sending a notification to SAP Inbox whenever a customer is created.We are checking industry key(KNA1-BRSCH) value through a check function module.When the customer is created in the system the system triggers the corresponding even it gets in to check module and an exception is raised saying Industry key does not have any value.
Problem is Industry key value is not passed on to the container.
Where might be the problem...?
Is anything missing in SWEC(Events for change document)
-but the event is trigerred...container value for industry key not passed...
Please advice...
Thanks in advance!

Help on workflow event container creation.

Can any one tell me how to create event containers in workflow? If the steps will be given in details it will be very help.Pls

Hi,
Events are part of business objects, events are linked to workflows, in the linkage you can link the standard container elements, like initiator to workflow containers and you can link the attributes of the (then) instantiated business object to containers in the workflow.
You can create additional attributes on business objects in SWO1 (make sure you don't change the sap standard, rather create a subtype and uses delegation (also doable in SWO1) to "override" the sap standard.
You can create additional containers in pftc, type is WS and task is your workflow number after pressing change you can tick the tab container to create additional containers and in the tab starting events you can change the event-->wf linkage.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

EBiz Business Events contain no event data

Hi,
I'm trying to use the Ebiz Business event feature to capture data in eBiz R12. Using the Integration Repository i have created subcritpion to business event oracle.apps.per.api.employee.create_employee. However when a new employee is created in eBiz the event is fired but the xml document doesnt contain any information regarding the newly created employee?
Does anyone know why this might be happening? I have captured the output event below

The event definition is set to Customization Level = Limit so i can only enable/disable the event. The Generate functions are blank and greyed out so can not be edited. I guess my question was that now i can see the event data in the <event data> tag in the .xml type form (see extract below) i was wondering whether there were any .xsd's that can be used to parse this payload data into a usable structure?
