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.

Indu.

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.

How to trigger the workflow from RFC

Hi,
I need to trigger a workflow from a RFC.How can I call the event and start my workflow?
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 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

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.

How to trigger a workflow from event - newbie question

Hi,
I have a simple workflow, with the start node triggered by an XML event.
What JMS destination I am supposed to send the XML document to in order for
the workflow to be triggered. I thought that it was the wlpiEvent, but the
workflow doesn't start. Also tried WLI_BPM_EVENT, with no joy.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, then I would be grateful
Lucy

If it is one workflow sending a message to another, you can use internal destination.
If it is another application then it would be WLI_BPM_EVENT ( which goes by the
jndi name com.bea.wli.bpm.EventQueue in default installation ).

Workflow from abap program

I created one workflow with a zbusines object. I did not create any event for the business object. only key fields and method.
now my question is, how can I call or trigger the workflow from the abap program. please adive

Hi Mat,
u can use FM SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW.
Please find sample coding
data: z_bus2080 type swc_object.
data: begin of bus2080_key,
id like viqmel-qmnum,
end of bus2080_key.
data: wf_cont type SWR_CONT occurs 0 with header line.
parameters: qmnum like viqmel-qmnum.
bus2080_key-id = qmnum.
swc_create_object z_bus2080 'BUS2080' bus2080_key.
Populate first container element - object type BUS2080
clear wf_cont.
move: 'BUS2080' to wf_cont-element,
z_bus2080 to wf_cont-value.
append wf_cont.
Populate second container element - char variable USERNAME
clear wf_cont.
move: 'USERNAME' to wf_cont-element,
sy-uname to wf_cont-value.
append wf_cont.
Call WAPI function
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW'
EXPORTING
TASK = 'WS94600159' "<-- Your workflow ID
LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
IMPORTING
RETURN_CODE =
WORKITEM_ID =

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 raise an event from a program

Hi,
I am creating a workflow for HR, the person will request a basic pay change than, this will start the workflow. For this i am making a screen from where i need to triger the event for the workflow.
Does anybody has any idea? of how to raise an event from a program. or has anybody worked on a scenario like this
Khusro Habib

You can also use the FM SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT which is a little newer I think. (I don't have access to a system today so that may not be the exact name of the FM but if you search SE37 under SAPWAPIEVENT* you should find it.
the parameters will be the event name, and the object key. The object key will be the key field of the workflow object you are using.
For example if you were using the saled document object then the object key would be the sales document number. Carefull how you enter the object key, it can be a little tricky on whether or not you need the leading zeros in the input parameter.
Hope this helps.

Hi experts,
can any body send documents about " how to trigger sender rfc from r3 system"

HI Sandeep,
To send RFC data on timely basis you can schedule the programs.
In Partner Profile use setting collect program. Use program RSEOUT00 to send data at particular time.
You can schedule the report RSEOUT00 according to your requirements. So it flushes all the idocs in the background as per your schedule this program.
Plese refer the below thread, it will help you.

2013 Workflows - Trigger a workflow from a Content Type

So now that a workflow cannot be triggered from a Content Type, how are people doing this now?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
J Sykes

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to trigger a workflow from a Content Type.
As we all know, we can attach a workflow to a Content Type, but the workflow cannot run until the Content Type is added to a list or library.
The elements of a list content type include the columns of metadata that are associated with the content type and workflows that can run on items of that content type.
More information about the content type and workflow are provided in the link below:
