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 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 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 Initiate the Workflow from Java webdynpro?

Hi All,
I am developing Customized WD application for ESS, which in turn having integration with Workflow.
Now How to Initiate the Workflow coding part in Webdynpro Development.
Through Adaptive RFC Model, i created model using sap_wapi_start_workflow RFC
Can anybody provide the sample code on this!!!
What are the stpes i have to follow to this Workflow Initiation from WD Java..
Thanks In Advance
Krishna

Krishna,
What Alejandro is mentioning that create a RFC which accesses you workflow on ABAP end. At your Java side just make the call the BAPI.
So you need a BAPI say ZMYBAPI which accesses your ZWORKFLOW. Now on Java side create a WD project which accesses ZMYBAPI.
For information on how to connect to a BAPI please refer this [link|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/webdynpro?rid=/library/uuid/49f2ea90-0201-0010-ce8e-de18b94aee2d#15]

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 the step1 from step 4

hi ,
im using Documwent Management System for workflow.
im triggering the workflow with DRAW CREATE event.
firstly i will create the document the with status 1.
then i will trigger mails using different tasks for changing the
status sequentially to status2 ,status3, status4 so on.....
At status 4, i have to check the condition basing on that i have to .
1)in one condition i dont have to carry out the further process and i have to stop/ terminate the workflow.
2) in second condition i should allow the document from status 4 to again status 1 and again it has to folow the noraml procedure (statsus1 .. statsus2 .. statsus3.....).
how this second condition can be met ?
please suggest me with which i can achiieve this.IF i have to use any step type , how to adoptto this second condition.
please help me.
Raghu

You must use a Loop control to send the approvals one by one from 1 to 4.
Within Loop also use a Condition statement & check if it is '4'
If not it will go with normal loop.
If yes, use an other Multiple Condition statement where you can provide different conditions & outcomes
depending on the outcome, change the value from '4' to '1' and on the other outcome use a Loop Control to Complete the workflow.
Hope this helps.

How to get the data from RFC ?

Hi,
I am using the Import Adaptive RFC Model, where the RFC display the amatrial Information date.
But when I deploy the application I am not getting the data.
How to test the bindings are correct as well as is any lines of code has to be written in the Implementation part?
Please suggest
regards,
CSP

Hi,
First, drag and drop the Z<RFCNode>_Input node from model to custum controller.
From there, u can select both input and output parameters.
After that, Make sure that In custom controller's init(), the following code is present
Z<RFCNode>_Input input=new Z<RFCNode>_Input();
wdContext.nodeZ<RFCNode>_Input().bind(input);
Create execute() method in custom controller and in execute method, check whether u added
wdContext.currentZ<RFCNode>_InputElement().set<InputParam>(inputparametervalue); // If any i/p parameter is there. You can set this from view also if u mapped the RFC node to view
wdContext.currentZ<RFCNode>_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
Also check all mappings are done correctly.
After saving all, Call execute() method from view as wdThis.wdget<custcontroller>().execute();
After execute(), u will get the output from node Output, which is inside Z<RFCNode>_Input node.

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 ).

Can we trigger a workflow from e-mail create event?

Hi Experts,
My scenario is very simple-Whenever a mail is send for approval to the approver,two workitems-Approve or Reject should be created in the Appover's inbox.On clicking on any one workitem, corresponding mail for approval/reject should be sent.
My only doubt is how to trigger an event which will start the workflow. Also it should be triggered only when the mail is sent to a particular person-say admin and not to every individual.
Can you please guide me on this since I am new to workflows?
What I am looking for here is:-
a) The definition of E-mail creation event, which can trigger my workflow.
b) This definition has to be specific. I mean workflow should trigger only when a mail is send to admin.It should not trigger everytime a new mail is created in the system.
c) I thought that the business object for E-mail is activity-BUS2000110.But again activity can be anything-E-mail,task,telephonic conversation.Which business object should be used here?
Please give me some pointers on this.
Thanks and Regards,
Rohit

Hi Aditya,
Atlast somebody replied to my thread. Since yesterday I have created 3-4 threads and didn't got any single reponse.
Anyways, my query is:-
how to trigger the workflow? I know we need some event to trigger a workflow. Now how to generate this event, when the user is simply sending an e-mail to the admin for some approval request? How can an e-mail trigger an approval workflow in the background?
Any pointers/suggestions?
Thanks and Regards,
Rohit
