How to kick off workflow from Web Dynpro?

Hi,
I have abap experience but haven't used workflow before. I have to kick off a workflow from a java web dynpro.
I think that I need to set up a business object and an event within this object, as step one. I then go to Status Management in the Business Workflow as I need to establish a relationship between the web dynpro and my event, step two.
The question is, what Status Object type do I use in this Status Management? For example if I was releasing a production order I could set this to ORH.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Warren.

Hello Warrenabap,
Do you know how to send (or modify) the container values from a workflow ??

Hi
you can use function module
data   ls_input_container TYPE swr_cont.
data   lt_input_container TYPE TABLE OF swr_cont.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW'
    EXPORTING
      task            = ptask
    IMPORTING
      return_code     = lv_return_code
      new_status      = lv_new_status
    TABLES
      input_container = pinput_container
      message_lines   = lt_message_lines
      message_struct = lt_message_struct.
where you pass the data in imnternal table "pinput_container" as
ls_input_container-element = 'KUNNR'.
ls_input_container-value = ls_skna1-kunnr ."wd_this->lv_kunnr.
APPEND ls_input_container TO lt_input_container .
ls_input_container-element = 'CLUSER'.
ls_input_container-value = lv_cluser.
APPEND ls_input_container TO lt_input_container .
ls_input_container-element = 'BUKRS'.
ls_input_container-value = lv_bukrs. " youe value as per requirement.
APPEND ls_input_container TO lt_input_container .
ls_input_container-element = 'VKORG'.
ls_input_container-value = ls_sknvv-vkorg. " youe value as per requirement
APPEND ls_input_container TO lt_input_container .
ls_input_container-element = 'VTWEG'.
ls_input_container-value = ls_sknvv-vtweg. "youe value as per requirement.
APPEND ls_input_container TO lt_input_container .
ls_input_container-element = 'SPART'.
ls_input_container-value = ls_sknvv-spart. "youe value as per requirement.
APPEND ls_input_container TO lt_input_container .
*Also Forgot to mention where ptask is your workflow ID *

Invoke Workflow from Web Dynpro for Java Application

I am working on a custom web dynpro for java application and when the user clicks the submit button the SAP standard workflow (WS50000041) should be invoked. Does anyone have experience they can share with me on how to achieve this functionality? It should also be able to attach an adobe form or read data from the form and submit the data as xml.
Thanks,
Ashley

Hi Ashley,
Use following code in RFC to invoke your workflow -
DATA : w_subrc TYPE sy-subrc,
            w_wi_id LIKE swwwihead-wi_id.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW'
        EXPORTING
          task                      = ' WORKFLOW - WSxxxxxx '
          language                  = sy-langu
          do_commit                 = 'X'
        IMPORTING
          return_code               = w_subrc
          workitem_id               = w_wi_id
        TABLES
          input_container           = it_container
          message_lines             = lv_swr_messag
      COMMIT WORK.
With this code your workflow will get start. But u have to use workflow id in next application also in which your request is getting navigated. In that application you have to take this workflow ID and have to pass again in workflow using - PortalNavigation statements.
After that this workflow will get start to publish in your TaskList (My Task) in Portal. Remeber that your all task should be maintained in workflow table by using SWFVISU transaction.
After that go to Portal and Re-Register your UWL so that your new Workflow ID will get usable in portal.
With this way you would be able to use workflow with Web Dynpro Java using UWL and Workflow.

CE 7.1 - How to call CAF services from Web Dynpro

Hi,
whats the suggested way to call caf services from web dynpro?
Of course I can use the Web Service model. But can I call caf directly?
I read something about caf web dynpro model, but I cannot find it in nwds 7.1. On some older tutorial it was in context menu of caf project, but it seems to be removed.
best regards
tom

Hi ,
The standard way is to use the web service model.
You have to expose the the services as web service and then you can use the wsdl url in the Adaptive web service model option.
The above option will be available when you click the Model in the webdynpro application and the click create new model.
Hope it helps you.

Starting existing workflow from web dynpro application (ABAP)

Hi experts,
    I am working on web dynpro application from which when I click on a button an existing workflow should trigger. This will be used in portal replacing existing iview with jsp. I did lot of reading on SDN maybe too much that I am confused how to get started. Here is what I have currently.
We have an existing workflow that sends an approval email to manager when ever some unit information changes. In current functionality, workflow is triggered by event which is linked to workflow in transaction "swetypv". We defined scenario in "qisrscenario" that contains all elements to populate workflow container. The methods to get data into workflow container, send email etc are all written in business object methods. We have a class that implements standard SAP BADI "IF_EX_QISR1"(IF_EX_QISR1~SCENARIO_PROCESS_USER_COMMAND method) that probably has all logic. In current functionality when the workflow gets created it sends notification number back to portal jsp page that triggered the workflow on button click. Users look at notification number in iqs23 for workflow log, PCR form data etc. and I need that functionality too. Now I am confused where I should start so that I can use ew web dynpro applciation instead of jsp iview but want all the functionality that we currently have. How can I start workflow and get notification number back to web dynpro so that I can display that to user? The approving manager goes to UWL to approve, reject the workitem and workflow then finishes.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi.,
Using FM SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT You can Achieve this., try the below piece of code.,
DATA: OBJECT_TYPE TYPE SWR_STRUCT-OBJECT_TYP VALUE 'ZBUS333',   " Enter Your Business Object here
OBJECT_KEY TYPE SWR_STRUCT-OBJECT_KEY,
EVENT TYPE SWR_STRUCT-EVENT VALUE 'FIRE'.     " Enter Your Event here
   DATA: lt_cont TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF swr_cont,
         ls_cont TYPE swr_cont.
       ls_cont-element = 'NAME'.       " To Pass Values to business Object you append to container
       ls_cont-value   = lv_name.
       APPEND ls_cont to lt_cont.
       ls_cont-element = 'ID'.
       ls_cont-value   = lv_id.
       APPEND ls_cont to lt_cont.
      CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT'
        EXPORTING
          OBJECT_TYPE             = OBJECT_TYPE
          OBJECT_KEY              = OBJECT_KEY
          EVENT                        = EVENT
         COMMIT_WORK             = 'X'
         EVENT_LANGUAGE          = SY-LANGU
         LANGUAGE                = SY-LANGU
         USER                    = SY-UNAME
*         IFS_XML_CONTAINER       =

Kicking off workflow from webdynpro using events?

I have abap experience but no workflow. Any advice will be appreciated.
I have to kick off a workflow from webdynpro. I assume that I have to set up a business object (eg. ZOBJECT), create an event therein (eg. ZEVENT).
Then when webdynpro runs I use a rfc function module to trigger this event.
The questions I have are:
1. How do I set up the workflow to be triggered by this event?
2. Do I set up an event in Business object builder or in SM62?
3. How do I trigger an event in a function module. I have found SWE_EVENT_CREATE but don't want to create an event just want to trigger the event and in turn set off the workflow?
Thank you,
Warren.

try this below parameters are passed or not
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT'
           EXPORTING
             object_type    = 'BUS2105'
             object_key     = lv_objkey
             event          = 'CREATED'
             commit_work    = 'X'
             event_language = sy-langu
             language       = sy-langu
             user           = sy-uname.

Adding attachments to workflow from Web Dynpro ABAP Application program.

Hi,
workflow is supposed to start by a Web Dynpro ABAP Application.
The user can attach files to it.
A superior is supposed to review the files and either approve or reject the request.
I tried the following in Web Ddynpro ABAP:
CALL FUNCTION 'EWW_WORKFLOW_START'
EXPORTING
X_TASK = 'WS90000074'
IMPORTING
Y_WORKFLOW_ID = lv_WF_ID
TABLES
X_CONTAINER = lv_IT_CONTAINER
EXCEPTIONS
then followed by:
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD'
EXPORTING
WORKITEM_ID = lv_wf_id
ATT_HEADER = lv_swr_att_header
ATT_BIN = Item_FILENAMEATTACHED
DOCUMENT_OWNER = SY-UNAME
LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
IMPORTING
ATT_ID = lv_swr_att_id
The Workflow has only one user decision step and one notification Step.
In the user decision step, there is a binding from ATTACHOBJECTS to the task.
But, in the log, you can see the attachment in the Workflow Container of the workflow instance, but you don't see it in the task (neither Inbox nor UWL)
I have checked the binding it is correct. I am getting the attachment in workflow container in '_attach_objects' element. but this attachment has to go to the user decision step, so I am binding the '_attach_objects' of workflow container to '_attach_objects' of user decision step. But the attachment was not going to user decision step.
Could you please let me know where am i doing wrong?
Thanks,
V.Nagaraju

@Ruslim Chang
Sorry to point out but the FM will return the Workitem ID only so there is no problem with the LV_WF_ID variable.
@vundralla nagaraju
Instead of making binding between attachobjects make binding between
WiGroup_ID <---- attachobjects
and then on the next step you try to make biniding in the user decision step by using WiGroup_ID.I think it should work.

How to call t-code from web dynpro ABAP application

Dear Gurus,
I am new to ABAP web dynpros. I have to add a button and have to call a SAP standard t-code if user clicks on this button? How to accomplish this task? Any help or example would be appreciated.
Thanks,
GSM

Hi GSM,
You have to create a SAP transaction iView in your Portal, then obtain its URL in your webdynpro and call WDPortalNavigation.absolute() method.
Below are the same steps in more detail:
1) Create a SAP Transaction iView or an Internet Application Component iView (whichever you find convenient). While creating you can select whether you want to use SAP GUI for windows or SAP GUI for HTML. For the latter(GUI for HTML) ensure that your ITS is working fine and configured while creating the system in EP.
2) Open the properties of the SAP transaction iView created. In the OK code field you can give the ok code value just as you give in SAP R/3 in case you want to navigate to the second screen of SAP R/3 when you pass values from WebDynpro.
Example for the above would be say Transaction "VA03" for displaying Sales order. Suppose from Webdynpro i want to pass a parameter called "Order number" and when i click a button it should pass the order number to R/3 and skip the first screen required for inputting the sales order numbe.
It should directly go to the main display of sales order for that ordernumber.
3) Create your WebDynpro component and deploy it on the server. In your WebDynpro use the WDPortalNavigation.absolute() method and give the url of the SAP Transaction iView created as a parameter and also the required parameters that you would like to pass from WebDynpro.
4) Create a SAP WebDynpro iView in the Portal.
5) Now run the Component. It should open up your SAP Transaction iview.

Uday

Triggering workflow from Web Dynpro

Hi,
What is the best way to trigger a workflow from a web dynpro application?
Is there a standard 'Netweaver' workflow component or only the classic workflow is available?
I want to trigger some workflow activity after the user has made a new entry using the dynpro application.
Also is there a way to view the users 'Inbox' in a web browser or the only way is to use iView in a Portal?
Thanks for any feedback.
Regards, Hari

Thanks for the information Tomas & Anil.
What part of the component is GP? Is it part of CAF?
Anil you have mentioned I need to install it on the J2EE.
We have currently Java stack for Web AS 6.4, what other components do I need to make this happen.
Thanks, Hari

How to open print dialog from web dynpro abap application

Hi experts,
I have a web dynpro application with several views and onone of the view there is a button that should open print dialog with printers list and all other options (standard print dialog we see in windows). I did reserach on SDN and came to now that this is a limitation of web dynpro abap. I did find some code also but unfortunately our current version of ABAP(7.0) do not support the code I found. I am not able to find any proper solution for this. Could someone please let me know how I can open a print dialog by clicking on a button in web dynpro abap? Any sample code or any information would be greatky appreciated.
Thanks.

Connecting to SAP from Web Dynpro

Hi,
I am new to web dynpro, but have downloaded the java sneak preview edition and worked through it a bit. I understand that we have to use JCo to connect to SAP from Java Web dynpro, . Is it true?
What about web dynpro for ABAP? Can we use normal select statements to connect to SAP? How is it exactly done in that case?
Thanks in advance
PG

hi pg
Just go thru this example which describes how to connect to SAP from web dynpro application.
