How to trigger a workflow in webdynpro programs

Hi Experts,
I am new to SRM Workflow, and I need to trigger a workflow in my webdynpro programs.
But I don't know how to achieve it.
I am using SAP SRM 7.0, so I want to use Process Controlled workflow.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Wei

Hi, thank you for the attention, and my requirement is as below.
1. Creating a web dynpro program
2. User can execute the program and input data on it. Such as Expense application, Leave application...
3. When the user click the "Apply" button on the form, the application should be sent to the boss for approval.
*** I want to trigger a workflow when the user click the "apply" button.***
I have achieved the similar functions in SAP ERP systems, by generating Events in my custom programs.
But I don't konw how to do it in SRM 7.0.
Or it is impossible to achieve it, under Process Controlled workflow architecture.
Thanks and Regards
Wei

HOW TO TRIGGER AN WORKFLOW FROM A PROGRAM ?

HELLO THERE ,
CAN ANYBODY PLZ TELL ME HOW TO TRIGGER AN WORKFLOW FROM AN PROGRAM AND TO PAS THE VALUE TO THE CONTAINER ?

Hello Neon,
If you want to trigger the workflow directly, use the FM, SWU_START_WORKFLOW
CALL FUNCTION 'SWU_START_WORKFLOW'
EXPORTING
    task                  =
*   LANGUAGE              = SY-LANGU
    user                  =
*   SENDER_ID             =
* IMPORTING
*   RETURN_CODE           =
*   WORKITEM_ID           =
tables
*   CONTAINER             =
*   MESSAGE_LINES         =
    attachment_list       =
A workflow can also be triggered by and event which is in turn triggered by a program.
By the FM, SWE_CREATE_EVENT
Example:
w_key = 'Connie'.
w_creator-otype = 'US'.
w_creator-objid = 'SAPDEV02'.
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
    EXPORTING
      objtype                       = 'YH_BUDDIES'
      objkey                        = w_key
      event                         = 'event'
     creator                        = w_creator
*     TAKE_WORKITEM_REQUESTER       = ' '
*     START_WITH_DELAY              = ' '
*     START_RECFB_SYNCHRON          = ' '
*     NO_COMMIT_FOR_QUEUE           = ' '
*     DEBUG_FLAG                    = ' '
*     NO_LOGGING                    = ' '
*     IDENT                         =
*   IMPORTING
*     EVENT_ID                      =
*   TABLES
*     EVENT_CONTAINER               =
   EXCEPTIONS
     objtype_not_found              = 1
     OTHERS                         = 2
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ELSE.
    WRITE: / 'EVENT TRIGGERED'.
ENDIF.
COMMIT WORK.
Hope it helps you.

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.

How to trigger an event in the program

Hi,
I have a program. The purpose of the program is to retrieve the data matching the selection criteria and downlod the same to a file.
In the selection screen, I have a parameter called 'EVENT'. Here, user enters some event name. Generally, they enter the 'Background job processing events'.
So, my requirement is... once the files are successfully downloaded, the program should trigger the 'EVENT' specified in the selection screen at run time.
Can someone help me in this regard. How to trigger an EVENT in the program. Is there any Function Module or Method available in SAP which triggers the EVENT at runtime.
And is there any table available in SAP which stores all the events available in SAP. Because, whenever the user enters an EVENT in the selection screen, we should check whether the event is valid or not. So, if there is any table available which has all the events then, it will be easy I guess. or is there any other way to validate the EVENT name.
Please help me. Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Paddu.

Hello Paddu,
have a look at tables
- btcsev, btcsed (system events)
- btcuev, btcued (user events)
and use function BP_EVENT_RAISE.
kind regards

How to Trigger a Workflow from ABAP Webdynpro

Hi All Gurus,
I have the following urgent requirement, my client is implementing HR and there is a requirement, where is a ABAP Webdynpro component in which we have integrated a Adobe Interactive Form. When the user calls this from through Portal and fills out the relevant data and submits it, a Workflow in the backend ECC system should lauch,
I am not familiar with, this concept although I have worked in Workflow this is the first time I am interfacind with ABAP Webdynpro and Adobe Interactive From.
Can you please let me know in steps what needs to be done to make the workflow trigger for my scenario and also the specific settings to be done in the bacckend.
Regards,
Pratima Jain

Hi,
If you are using HCM Processes and Forms, the Workflow and form are not directly related, thats true.
But the method in the task calls the corresponding webdynpro application which responds to the action triggered by the user in turn to trigger the workflow and update the data in the HR Master Data.
There are 3 layers 1. UI (webdynpro which launches Adobe Interactive form based on ISR Framework)
2. Workflow
3. Backend framework (used for retrieving F4 helps, default values, save data in the infotypes).
for more documentation, please refer it on help.sap.com.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/82/b6b94278560c31e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
hope this helps.

How to trigger the workflow from the excel sheet

hello friends,
my problem is that i should trigger the workflow from a excel sheet which contains a list of appraisers and appraisees.how to do this. can anyone help on this.
thanks.

Hi Murthy,
If you are asking if a workflow can be started on R/3 while in Excel - may be possible if you can develop some fancy macros that can make RFC calls to an ABAP function module. I won't even attempt to travel that route.
Save the excel sheet as CSV or Tab delimited file and process it using ABAP. You can use the WAPI function module SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT (Rel 4.7)to start the Workflow by raising the relevant event. In earlier releases, see FM SWE_EVENT_CREATE.
Please do keep in mind there could be performance and response time issues for dialog users of the system if you are going to start several workflows using a report program.
Cheers,
Ramki.

Trigger MDM workflow from Webdynpro Java

Hi All,
After updating records in MDM, I want to trigger an MDM workflow from Webdynpro Java and pass those updated records to workflow. Any inputs on how to accomplish this. Workflow has already been developed using MSVISIO by the MDM team.
Thanks,
Tom

By following steps, it is possible to integrate workflow (or any workflow designed in MDM) within portal:
1. UWL (Universal Worklist): The UWL gives users unified and centralized way to access their work and the relevant
information in the portal. It collects tasks and notifications from multiple provider systems. One can expose MDM
workflow functionality on Portal using UWL.
2. JAVA APIu2019s: MDM Java API consists of set of classes related to MDM workflows through which one can create an
application that provide the MDM workflow functionality and expose the application as an iView in the portal.

How can i do this?
please advice.
Thanks,
Anand

Hello Anand,
Goto swetypv transaction.Mention the abap class/bor object with the corresponding event.
In the receiver type, just mention some unique name.In the receiver function module mention the async RFC.
Mention the SENDER     TYPE     SIBFLPORB                        Local Persistent Object Reference - BOR Compatible
EVENT     TYPE     SIBFEVENT                               Event
RECTYPE     TYPE     SWFERECTYP                               Name of Receiver Type
HANDLER     TYPE     SIBFLPORB                               Local Persistent Object Reference - BOR Compatible
EXCEPTIONS_ALLOWED     TYPE     SWEFLAGS-EXC_OK     SPACE     Checkbox
XML_SIZE     TYPE     SWF_XMLSIZ                               Size in Bytes
EVENT_CONTAINER     TYPE     SWF_XMLCNT                               Container as XML Stream of Fixed Width
So that the guid can be used inorder to identify the instance.
you can use : "sap_wapi_start_workflow" fn module.
Hope this helps.

How to trigger a workflow when a bank record of an employee is delimited

Hi Friends,
I want to trigger a workflow when a bank record of an employee is delimited(Infotype IT0009). When delimiting the bank info, the old record's ENDDA is changed and a new record is created with the BEGDA. In this case two events are triggered one is BANKDETAIL-CREATED and other one is BANKDETAIL-DELETED.
Which one should i use to trigger my workflow.
Note : If we use the creation of new record for triggering workflow, then in case when the record is created for a new employee then the workflow will be triggered. To control this can we check whether there is an existing entry in IT009 for the employee or not. If an entry already exist then trigger the workflow else not. Is this ok? Please advice.

Hi sapient,
Here i think none of the events would actually help you in achieving what you want because you want to trigger the workflow when the account is delimited not when the account is either created or deleted.Please look for some other information to trigger your workflow.Will get back to you if i had any ideas.
Thanks,
Bhumika
