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.****************

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.

Error when trying to create new element in workflow container

hi experts,
I hit an error 'cusomer-own workflow are not allowed to be configure" when trying to create a new element in the container.
have anybody come across this problem and how to overcome it
TQ

Aren't customer task not used anymore?
Or am I mixing things up here.
Well the problem isn't a problem it is SAP standard behaviour you simply can't configure customer tasks (type T in PFTC)
You can only configure Standard Tasks (TS) or workflow templates (WS)
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans
Edited by: Rob Dielemans on May 29, 2009 12:51 PM
Just had a look at the SAP help and indeed types T aren't allowed anymore SAP gives the solution to copy the customer task, this will automatically change it to a standard task

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.

Question on how to retrieve elements in workflow container using WAPI

Hi all, I need your great help. I have started a workflow and during it running I want get element in workflow container. First I use SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER to get a workflow container which called "simple_container", but I can not get element using SWC_GET_ELEMENT because the container type I got does not match the type TABLE SWCONT.
I have loop the container and could see the elements in the container, but I am not quit sure that I can get the element with its own type. For example, I have an internal table in container, when I loop to it and get its value, it can not be assigned to my local internal table variable for the type incomptible.
Could any one give me some advice? Thank you very much!

Thanks for your advice. I think I have found the way to do that by inside into the source code sap provide. The steps are as follows:
1 If the element you want get in container is char-based, just get container use 'SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER' and loop into it to retrieve what you want.
2 If you want get element in other types, eg, internal table, then use:
lv_wi_handle TYPE REF TO if_swf_run_wim_internal,
cnt TYPE REF TO if_swf_cnt_container.
CALL METHOD cl_swf_run_wim_factory=>find_by_wiid
        EXPORTING
          im_wiid     = wi_id
        RECEIVING
          re_instance = lv_wi_handle.
      cnt = lv_wi_handle->get_wi_container( ).
CALL METHOD cnt->IF_SWF_CNT_ELEMENT_ACCESS_1~ELEMENT_GET_VALUE
       EXPORTING NAME = 'element_name'
       IMPORTING VALUE = element_value.
The variable element_value is just in your own type~.
Hope it useful to you, the reader.

How to create business operation for starting workflows

How to create business operation for starting workflows from worklist?
When I call methods that implements business operation from java class everything
works fine(wlpi-ejb.jar is required), but when I call business operation from
Studio I can't use classes from wlpi-ejb.jar.

Business operation is called by WLIS. So, I include wlpi-ejb.jar into WLIS classpath.
Studio uses deployed EJB from wlpi-*.jar, I don't know why Studio doesn't see
methods from deployed EJBs when WLIS classpath contains wlpi-ejb.jar.

When studio starts, what is your classpath? If you use the included batch
file to start it, then your class path may not include this :-)

How to create an UI element dynamically on action in drop down?

Hi,
How to create an UI element dynamically on action of selecting a value from the drop down?
help out with the steps i need to follow..

Hi,
Dynamic UI Element creation
We can create it only in the WD Modify View.
Get the instance for the Root UI Element Container.
Create the UI element Ex: Input Field, Text View etc.
Bind the UI Element to the Attribute Value.
Now bind the UI Element to the Root UI Element Container.
 IWDTransparentContainer root =(IWDTransparentContainer)view.getRootElement();
 IWDDropdownByIndex DdbName = (IWDDropdownByIndex)view.createElement(IWDDropdownByIndex.class,"DdbName");
 IWDDropdownByIndex DdbAge = (IWDDropdownByIndex)view.createElement(IWDDropdownByIndex.class,"DdbAge");
 IWDDropdownByIndex DdbGender = (IWDDropdownByIndex)view.createElement(IWDDropdownByIndex.class,"DdbGender");
 IWDNode Mad =wdContext.getChildNode("Person",0);
 IWDAttributeInfo NameAtt = Mad.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("Name");
 IWDAttributeInfo AgeAtt = Mad.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("Age");
 IWDAttributeInfo GenderAtt = Mad.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("Gender");
 DdbName.bindValue(NameAtt);
 DdbAge.bindValue(AgeAtt);
 DdbGender.bindValue(GenderAtt);
 root.addChild(DdbName);
 root.addChild(DdbAge);
 root.addChild(DdbGender);
Dynamic Action Creation
Create the Action in the Action tab.
Create a Button.
Get the reference for the created action (Through the Event Handler).
Bind the Action to the Button.
Bind the Button to the Root UI element Container.
IWDButton ButGo = (IWDButton)view.createElement(IWDButton.class,"ButGo");
IWDAction ActGo = wdThis.wdCreateAction(IPrivateStartView.WDActionEventHandler.GO,"Click");
ButGo.setOnAction(ActGo);
root.addChild(ButGo);
Now write the required code for the Event Handler that is associated with the Action.
//@@begin onActionGo(ServerEvent)
 IWDNode Mad = wdContext.getChildNode("Person",0);
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(Mad.getCurrentElement().getAttributeAsText("Name"));
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(Mad.getCurrentElement().getAttributeAsText("Age"));
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(Mad.getCurrentElement().getAttributeAsText("Gender"));
//@@end

Adding two characters to all the element of workflow container

Hi All,
I want to prefix two character to all the elements of a particular "multiline" workflow container.
How can i do this?
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Ritesh

you will have to use a custom method as step and pass the multiline attribute and loop at it, add and modify the multiline variable of the container. No other way possible, within workflow builder.

How to create a context element

Hai,
How can i create a context element for a view dynamically.

Hi,
Context element or context attribute?
For context element use appropriate method in your IWDNode implementation and after creation call add method of node.
For context attribute - see appropriate tutorial : https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webdynpro/tutorial on dynamic programming of web dynpro applications - 17.htm
