Generic Object Servises- Workflow overview

Hi,
In Me53n transacrion, when I am selecting the Workflow-> workflow overview from Generic Object Services(this icon appears in the left where 'Display Purchase Req. XXXXX' appears ).
I get a message saying "There are no workflows that have already worked with this object", even though the workflow has trigged and work item has been created in SAP Business Work Place for the PR. Please let me know what is to be done so that it shows the workflow log for the object.
Regard,
Shweta

Hi,
This feature is working if the worflow has trigged from BUS2105-RELEASESTEPCREATED, but not working if the worflow is trigged from ZBUS2105-ZCHANGE(ZBUS2105 is subtype and zchange is custome event ).
I have created an entry for this Subtype ZBUS2105 and custom event ZCHANGE SWEC transaction so that the worflow will trigger when PR is saved after being held. I have also set the "Delegate" for ZBUS2105 in transaction SW01 to BUS2105 . This is working fine, but the problem is if the workflow trigger by this custom event then GOS->Workflow->Workflow Overview does not show this workflow item in the overview.
Please tell me what is to be done...

Attachment and workflow overview - GOS

Hello All,
I have a new custom BO. No delegation to another object.
And new applications using this BO.
I want to include the "Generic Object Services" -> Workflow Overview & attachment
and display this on the transaction just like VA0x to display the WF.
I need a starting point!
I have document Generic Object Services (BC-SRV-GBT).
Not sure how to add this functionality.
Please help asap.
Thanks & Regards,

Hello Sangeeta,
I am too facing the same kind of issue.
I developed a workflow and linked the BO ZBUS2081. This is sub type of standard BO BUS2081. I am using the custom event INVOICEBLOCKED to trigger the workflow. The workflow is triggered propely when the invoce is created (with block) thru MIRO and I can see the workflow in SWEL or SWI6 or SWI14.
But, the workflow is not listed in the services for objects button of the invoice display using MIR4.
If I use the standard event 'BLOCKEDQUANT' as starting event, the workflow is triggered and I can view it in services for object.
In the table SWW_WI2OBJ has all entries about the workflow triggered using standard event or custom event.
How can I make the services for object in invoice list my workflow that was triggered using custom evet?
I tried this solution but, still not working.
Can you please tell me what needs to be done to make this working?

Generic object template

In the workflow we usually create generic objects and assign values and refer them through out the process. But instead of creating generic objects on the fly in the workflows we want to reuse the generic objects created as a template. We see that the BPE gives a provision to create such templates/generic objects.
But how do we refer these generic objects in workflow.

you have to override the NavigationHandler class

Starting Workflow from Generic Object Services in IQS1 Transaction

Hi All,
My requirement is users will create the notification through IQS1 and they will attach the Adobe document through Generic Object service. In the notification Task, they will assign the repsonsible person for that form. Once they released the notification, i need to send a mail to the responsible person. I got the BO (BUS7051) . I created the custom WF and acitivated the BO & WF link. When i selected the Workflow Overview in the Generic Object Serivce, it is saying 'There are no workflows that have already worked with this object'. But when i checked the is worklow log in SWIA, my workflow got triggered.
I would like to know why it was not showing when i selected the same in Generic Object Serivce. How to trigger Workflow throuhg Generic Object Service.
Any info relevant to this, please share with me..

Hi,
For generic object services to find the workflow, the object must be attached to the workitem/workflow or used in the container.
If the object is correctly used in the workflow, it will be visible via GOS.
How did you use the object in the workflow?

Cannot view workflow log via Services for Object Workflow Overview

We recently had an upgrade of R3/ECC and discovered a new issue. For some reason we can no longer view workflow log via Services for Object > Workflow Overview for Material Master (transaction MM03). We get the message "There are no workflows that have already worked with this object". However, we have confirmed via SWEL and other t-codes that the workflow and log do exist. This seems to be the only object we have this issue for after the upgrade.
Anyone know what issue is and how to fix?   Or at least path to config in SPRO for "generic object services" where we can see if anything changed via upgrade for this object?
Thanks,
Matt

Found the solution. See OSS note 553246. This has been tested and works for us.   -Matt
Note 553246
Summary
Symptom
In the material master, the system no longer displays the attachments for the material or workflow items in the Generic Object Services.
Other terms
MM01, MM02, MM03
Reason and Prerequisites
As of Release 4.6B, business object BUS1001006 is valid for the material master. Until you have implemented Note 452424, the Generic Object Services is still published for the old BUS1001 business object. After implementing the note, all attachments, relationships, notes and workflow items that are assigned to business object BUS1001 are no longer displayed.
Instead, all new attachments are assigned to business object BUS1001006. As a result, attachments cannot exist for both systems.
For workflow items, the assignment to the business object occurs in the respective tasks. It may be very time consuming to convert the business object, depending on whether an individual subtype (assigned to BUS1001) is created.
In other words, after you implement the note, the workflow items for business object BUS1001 can no longer be displayed in the material master.
Solution
With the following correction you can call the Generic Object Services for both business objects. When it is called, the system displays a dialog box in which you can choose the required business object, that is, BUS1001 ('Material') or BUS1001006 ('Standard material').
This correction is delivered as a modification supported by SAP only. This is because the additional option means that attachments can be maintained as required in either of the business objects and users may therefore require extra training.
However, the corrections enable you to display attachments and workflow items for both business objects without the need for a major conversion; this means that you do not get the impression that these have been lost.
Alternatively, as of Release 4.70 (or Basis 6.20) you can, without making a modification, implement method ADD_OBJECTS of BAdI GOS_MULT_PUBLISH for filter attribute WF_OVERVIEW ('Workflow overview'), SRELATIONS ('Relationships') and VIEW_ATTA ('Attachment list'). The implementation should be similar to the following:
METHOD if_ex_gos_mult_publish~add_objects .
DATA:
    ls_lporb TYPE sibflporb.
READ TABLE ct_lporb INTO ls_lporb INDEX 1.
if ls_lporb-typeid = 'BUS1001006'.
    ls_lporb-typeid = 'BUS1001'.
    append ls_lporb to ct_lporb.
endif.
endmethod.

Generic Object Services (HR Master Overview Screen)

Hi, i need to incorporate the Generic Object Services functionality to the HR Master Data linking it at three levels, namely,
Scenarios
     1) GOS at Employee Level
     2) GOS at Employee-Infotype Level
     3) GOS at PD Object Level.
I've managed to find the solution to Scenario's 1 and 3 while i'm still trying to incorporate scenario 2.
Can someone let me know if there's any User-Exit that gets triggered at the Infotype Overview screen level from transaction PA30?
I couldnt locate an exit that'd get triggered upon calling the overview screen in the HR Master Data transaction (PA30). So is the trouble.
Helpful answers will be rewarded with points
Cheers,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
Could you please share the steps on how you got the GOS at Employee Level to work?
Thank you for your help.

Starting Workflow from Generic Object Services

Hi All.
We are on ECC6. In transaction MM02 when I excute 'Start Workflow' from Generic Object Services, no workflows are found. Can anyone help me with the following issues;
1. What is the underlying object in transaction MM02 (I believe it is BUS1001006)
2. How can i ensure that the proper workflows in this transcation are started through some
customisation, enhencement or user-exit.
Regards.

I think you have to maintain the Workflow Template as General Task and then only it will appear in the GOS.
Thanks

How to trigger a workflow using generic object services?

Hi Experts,
Let me know on how to trigger a workflow using generic object services.
My requirement is to trigger the FI document reversal document using Object services.
Any info or docs relevant to this, please share with me..
Thanks,
Dinesh.

Dinesh,
First of you need to check if the transaction has a BO (in released status) published to use the GOS.
These are the pre-requisites for GOS
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/94/aa532cddd511d289860000e8216438/content.htm
Once done.. check that you have valid workflow linkages active for this BO.
Now when you click on the 'start workflow' the system will show all relevant workflows for the BO to choose from and to start.

Hi Experts,
We have header level release strategy to PR approval. We are using BUS2105 delegated to ZBUS2105.
There is another custom workflow has been defined, using BUS2009 delegated to ZBUS2009.
in ME53n, Generic object services I can only see ZBUS2105 Workflows.
Is there any method I can add show both the workflows there.
Your help is much appreciated.

Bulk uploading to Generic Object Services

We have started using Generic Object Services to attach documents and notes to object (contracts, rental objects, etc) in REFX (Flexible Real Estate).
Is there a way to upload large volumes of notes and attachments to different objects (like LSMW)?
Thanks

ADA 508 Compliance Workflow Overview (tab key for navigation / WebAim Toolbar)

Hi,
I've been assigned to update interactive training for a State agency..... with of course, an emphasis on ADA / 508 compliance.
So, before I pinpoint my two questions/scenarios, here is a basic, initial attempt at providing an overview of ADA compliance workflow in Captivate and beyond.
PS - useful Captivate forum urls are at the end of this post. I'm using Captivate v.6
ADA Compliance Workflow Overview:
1. All assets need an alt tag and conceivably a description > highlight the asset, like a pic, and click the Accessibility button under Properties.
2. Create slide notes for each slide > load slide, highlight no assets and click the Accessibility tab under Properties. Copy and paste your notes > for screen readers.
3. Need closed captioning for video/audio content > I use Camtasia for CC and will use the JW player for screen reader of video content.
4. Interactivity needs to be accessible via the tab and enter keys.
What else am I missing?
Question 1
My question targets how to get the enter key to initiate after a successful tab. To be clearer.... I hit tab and I can navigate through all the buttons in the correct order, but hitting enter provides no action. I am gettining the yellow highlights around buttons when I tab through. Everything works very well when using the mouse, but blind users don't use mice.
I did create my own animation buttons in Flash and imported them in as animations. I then placed a Click Box behind the button animation to engage the rollover action. Could this be causing problems? The prebuilt (and clunky looking) buttons on the quizzes do work (ie) tabbing to them and hitting enter provides effective navigation.
I'm opting not to use the playback control skin, only my Flash nav bar.
Question 2 (Scenario 2)
I have downloaded the WebAim Toolbar feature designed for FireFox, used to check ADA compliance issues.
I am getting this error message:
A frame does not have a title attribute or value. Okay... I bet I can fix this via the .html file or via the standard.js file??
and these warnings:
Alert: Javascript in head - A javascript element is present in the page head section.
Alert: Flash - A Flash object is present.
Does anyone know if these alerts are worth fixing?
Obviously Captivate is going to pump out, or rather publish... javascript elements, but is this bad in the page head section?
And..... of course a Flash object is present...Captivate produces Flash / Shockwave files.
I'll obviously ask the programmers at WebAim for guidance as well. As always any help would be appreciated and Tanks in advance.

Hi,
Attached is my zipped project file. I did create my own buttons in Flash - this might be the problem. I have only been problem solving with navigation on the first four slides.
To clarify, hitting the Enter key does engage navigation, however I’m having difficulty controlling the navigation so that it goes to the correct location.
I’m using Captivate v.6 / publishing SCORM 1.2 / Using IE to deliver via the SyberWorks LMS.
Here is question 1:

How to create a Generic Object Services for a standard tcode.

Hi,
We have a requirement where we are depreciating the assets (standard transaction ABAA) using a custom BDC program. We need to maintain a history (called audit trail) for the particular asset that has been depreciated using this program. For this audit train we have been asked to use "Generic Object Services" in transaction code ABAA.
Unfortunately, Generic object services are not available in this transaction code. Can you please suggest me how to create "Generic Object Services" for a particular standard transaction code. Also, we have show the details of custom workflow that follows the approval process in order to depreciate the asset. how to show this workflow details using Generic Services. This is a very critical issue, any help will be very help ful.
Please let me know should you require more information on this topic.
Thanks,
Ashish

Instead of copyg the std fm to z, do the following,
1. Go to se37 open FM VIEW_KURGV in display mode.
2. Click on the spiral icon on the top.
3. Then in menu go edit->enhancment options -> show implicit enhancement
4. """""""""""""""""""""" kind of lines will appear in the cde, just rt click on the line at the place u want to insert the code and select
enhancement implementation create.
5. Give apropriate name for thi , it will inset a n place to write your code.
This is an std sap methodology and is supported in upgradde also.

Hello Ashish,
i dont think activating of GOS will solve ur probs..... GOS wont create a WF item ...... try to get some kind of GOS before u do anything in SAP systems.
u can do like this ......
1 create custom screen where u can enter asset details and store in custom tables....and generate one custom doc.number to track.
2. trigger WF when user submits it for approvals.
3.Upon final approvals.--->run BDC to do postings......
4.Give a Option to attach documents to the parking documents. ( that GOS ).

Connect a Word document instance to Generic Object Services/BDS

Hello all,
how can I manage to get a word document created via the Doc_template step to a certain Business Object (like Business Partner). I tried to trace that but I got lost in generations of codes like archivelink, sap office, knowledge provider etc.) I guess it should not be that difficult as I have the key of the word doc instance and the key of the business partner instance. What I want at last is to have that word document linked via attachments/linked objects or something similar....
Kindest regards from Germany,
Markus

Markus,
Welcome to the forum!
I have done this sometime ago at a past client site and will see if I can find the code.
If I remember correctly, this involves converting the attachment to an SOFM object (using method CREATESOFM of BO WF_DOC) and then using function module BINARY_RELATION_CREATE to attach it to the BO. The links below will give you more info. Also Google for BINARY_RELATION_CREATE which should give you more links.
