Get parent work item at runtime

Hi all,
Is there any function module which would return parent work item ID base on child work item ID?
My situation is that I have a workflow W1 which starts sub workflow W2. I know the id of currently u2018In processu2019 work item of the sub workflow W2. Now I would like to get two things.
- Work item ID of the parent sub workflow template W2
- Work item ID of the top level workflow template W1
Could you possibly help?
Many thanks and best regards,
Petr

Info when you need to find Manually is as below
Goto SWI1 tcode, enter the work item id that you have.
Then select the workflow log(Shift + F8) from the menu.
In the workflow log, select the "List with Technical details"(Shift+F9).
This provides you all the details with work item IDs that you are looking for.
However if you are looking for this info programmatically.
A function module like SWW_WIS_HEADER_READ can help getting the info.
Regards,
Kartik Nayak.

Notification based on parent work item's status

Good afternoon all.
Would anyone know how it will be possible to send a notification for a manual activity reassignment but only when the parent work item (service request for example) is 'In Progress'? I know this is not going to be possible in the console so has anyone managed
to achieve this within XML?
Any pointers would be great!
Thanks, Joe

Unfortunately, what you're asking for can't be done out-of-the-box, even with direct management pack manipulation.
There are basically two types of subscriptions: instance and relationship subscriptions. They can't be mixed.
It is still possible to accomplish what you want, but it would require some development effort if you want to build it yourself.
There are some 3rd party options out there since this has been asked for a number of times in the past.
For example from a quick search, both
http://www.carbon60.com/send-email-notification-custom-activity-for-service-manager/ and
https://andrewsprivatecloud.wordpress.com/2012/07/02/assignmentre-assignment-notifications-using-sco/ use Orchestrator.
It could also be done with a powershell-based service manager workflow if you don't want to use Orchestrator.

Report to get cumulative effort based on child items related to parent work item

We have created a new work item type called 'Release'
Release -> Features -> PBI/Bugs -> Tasks/Test Case
I have requirement to create many reports that has to filtered across the Release work item been created. We usually slice it by Area/Iteration but here the requirement is different.
For ex:
Releases Overview report:
Release name| Owner as AssignedTo| Status Indicator | Completed Work | Remaining Work | Open Impediments
I can fetch all the release work items (Work Items with System_workItemType =Release) w.r.to team project for this report. But for other calculations :
Compute Open Impediments
Find all the child items belong to the parent 'Release work item'
Pick Open Impediments (Work_Item_Count with System_workItemType=Impediment and State = Open) in that list.
Is this possible by querying olap ? Or we need to go for stored procedures for querying warehouse?
please give a fair idea to start with and good resources for learning MDX.
Thanks
Divya

Hi Divya,
Thanks for your post.
To get the Release work items and all linked Impediments, you can try to create the Work item and direct links query, under Filters for lined work items section, set Type of trees = Parent/Child, work item type = Impediments and State = Open. Please refer
to the information in this document:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd286705.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396.
For such a Release Overview report, you need create your custom report. For the MDX resource, please refer to this document:https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144785.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396.
Or contact SQL Server Reporting Service experts for the better response
And you can also create the work item report using TFS API.

Getting UWL Work-items

Hi all,
I am trying to fetch all work-items out of an UWL for an user and display them.
For this reason I have taken a look at: https://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/uw/index.html
Unfortunately I am absolutely not familiar using UWL-API and it is just overwhelming.
Does anybody have a code example and a hint, what the most important classes in UWL-API are?
Thank you for your help!
Kind regards, Patrick.

ITS cannot can transform %3D into = and canu00B4t get the Work Item ID

Hi experts,
We have an ECC 6.0 EHP3 with a EP 7 (Netweaver 2004s SP18). We use the UWL.
The issue is when we try to open a taks in the UWL that launch a transaction in the ECC, it can´t open, show this error:
Transaction SWK1+WI_ID=000000005 is unknown
This is because in the parameter "DynamicParameter" it pass the value "wi_id%3D000000005004". It can´t resolve "%3D" and change it for "=" so lost the last 3 characteres, try to opens the WI_ID=000000005 instead the WI_ID=000000005004.
The url is try to open is this:

If i copy this url in a browser and chage %3D for = , DynamicParameter=wi_id=000000005004 , it works fine, open the workitem.
Here is the code for the task in the uwl xml:
In the iview "UWL - Launch SAP Transaction", com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.uwlSapLaunch, i put the "NO" value for the property "Transaction Supports Unicode Codepages" but the error is still throw.

How to determine (sub)work-item in bpm

Hi all,
is there a way to determine the actual workitem in a bpm. I want to map this workitem in a xml-structure and send to a receiver just for log function.
Best regards
Mathias

Hi Mathias,
i dont know any standard way to get the work item no into the XML. But for your case should the message ID enough, coz you select the message and click on link PE to navigate to the work item.

Function module to identify users - fowarded work items

Hi
Pls can anyone suggest an appropriate function module to identify the users of the forwarded work items?
The onyl input i have is the user name.
the scenario is : UserA had fwd'ed a workitem XYZ to UserB and I need to find programatically all the details and the user of the workitem XYZ like who had forwarded to UserB. Since i dont have the work item number or dont want to restrict with date range, i wish to get this info purely with the user id only. pls can anyone suggest some functions?

Hi Prabhu
First, get the Work item IDS:
Go to table SWWUSERWI, supply USER_ID as your User (User B) and FORWARDED flag = 'X'.
You will get all workitems forwarded to THAT user (USER_ID) - User B
Now Get "Who dared to forward them to me (the user which you have" :
Now use FM SWL_WI_GET_HISTORY , supply WI_ID as fetched above
You will get the History in table HISTORY. From this table, keep only records where WI_ID matches the above, METHOD = 'SWW_WI_FORWARD'
You will be left with step history for that WI ID where it was forwarded. The field METH_USER will contain the user name of the guy (culprit) who forwarded the WI

Creating a report for linked work items...

We are using TFS 2012 and need to create a report (either excel or SSRS) that shows all the user stories under the current sprint and any linked child items across two projects. I can do this easily per project in VS and open it in excel but excel won't
let me copy/paste two projects work items in one spreadsheet. I tried searching and found a few suggestions but they don't seem to work.
TIA,
Vik

Hi Vik,
Thanks for your post.
We suggest you create a such report using TFS API. Please refer to below code snippet:
            TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri("UrI"));
            tfs.EnsureAuthenticated();
            WorkItemStore workitemstore = tfs.GetService<WorkItemStore>();
            string wiql ="SELECT * FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = 'TeamProject' ORDER BY [System.Id] ";
            WorkItemCollection wic = workitemstore.Query(wiql);
            foreach(WorkItem workitem in wic)
            if(workitem.Links.Count!=0)
                foreach (Link link in workitem.Links)
                    RelatedLink relatedLink = link as RelatedLink;
                    if (relatedLink != null)
                        Console.WriteLine(relatedLink.RelatedWorkItemId);
You can create your custom work item query to return all the parent work items, then save this query as a .wiq file in local path, then open this .wiq file and you will find the wiql string in it.
For more information about work item query TFS API, please refer to:

Thanks in Advance.

I think instead of using a event you can use a container element. You want to make sure that the users performs the approving action properly. If the user does that inside your code you set this container element as X. You pu the approval step inside a loop that checks whether the container element is X. Also another important thing you need to put the parallel approval step along with the loop inside a subworkflow.

Error:Work item 000000001099:Object FLOWITEM method EXECUTE cannot be execu

Hello experts,
I have created a Sales order workflow whr after creation sales order will go to 1 person inbox and he will check the SO thoroughly and thn i hv added a user decision step for APPROVED or REJECTED for same person.
Now after creation of sales order it goin to the person inbox for checkin SO but when he is saving it thn decision screen with button APPROVED or REJCTED is not coming and m getting error :Work item 000000001099: Object FLOWITEM method EXECUTE cannot be executed. and error: Error when processing node '0000000024' (ParForEach index 000000)
i checked the agent mapping for both step....and thr is no error in agent mappin...in both steps i have mapped same rule with responsibility IDs
PLz suggest urgently wht can be cause of error.
Regards
Nitin

Hi Nitin,
I think this seems to be an agent assignment issue.
To debug this issue go to the workflow log and check if the agents are correctly being picked by the rule or not. Simulate the rule and check for the agents being picked.
In the workflow log, check the agent for the User Decision step. If there is no agent found then there might be some issue with the data passed to rule.
Hope this helps!

Saumya

Work item deletion

Hi Team,
when ever a PO orPR is created, based on the release strategy appropriate person will get the work item, then they have to execute the work item from their SAP inbox , then it will go to next release person ,
But they are releasing from transaction ME29n or ME54n directly, in this case they want to disappear the work item from their SAP inbox. How it is possible, can you please guide me? Ex. if 1st person releases PO/PR from ME29N or ME54N without executing work item from SAP Inbox, it has to disappear from their inbox and the remaining process as do as i developed in my workflow. Can you please help me.
I observed the function module SAP_WAPI_FORWARD_WORKITEM, but how can we pass the work item id to the above F.M based the PO or PR number or other possibilities.
Please guide me
Regards,
Surya.

Hello,
You can use a parallel step and wait activity in that step with the Release event and you need to pass the PO or PR number as respectively with Workitem completion option.
By, this if a PO or PR gets released by any option the workitem will be completed and will disappear from the user's inbox.
Thnx,
Sudhir.
