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.

  • Is i possible to trigger a workflow from the creation of an event in iCal

    Is i possible to trigger a workflow from the creation of an event in iCal
    Or is is possible to create a workflow to ad events to an iCal calendar which then triggers the workflow or is combined with the ad events workflow.
    Graeme

    Hmm, nope. Not that I'm aware of. Very few apps allow you to hook scripts directly to user activity. Finder* is a notable exception. iCal's "publish" feature has the ability to auto-update after user activity, but you'll either need dot mac accounts or your own webdav server to get that working.
    I'd re-consider the idea of triggering a periodic workflow with iCal. That way if the computer is shut down or asleep, iCal will wait to run the workflow at its next opportunity. You could hide the unsightly repeating events in a second calendar so they're out of the way.
    The next best thing is to write a faceless AppleScript application with a long-duration idle handler. The user would simply add it to their login items in System Preferences. This would also resume its cycle after sleep or shutdown.
    Yet another option is to write an AppleScript that can register itself in the crontab. This has the advantage of running at a predictable time. If you're careful, you can even set the script to wake up or power on the computer as necessary.
    * Folder action scripts can be triggered when files are created, moved, or deleted, but not when they're merely updated. This probably rules out much of iCal's activities in ~/library/application support/ical/.

  • How to put the data from one excel sheet in another excel sheet

    hi ,
    I want put the data from one excel sheet in another excel sheet in seq. order Eg: I have one excel sheet in which i have 3 col. Name , Sno. , Email along with data .I want to put data from this sheet to another excel sheet in the following orders of col. Sno,Name, Email .
    While loading data in another sheet , i have to perform validation like char field should n't contain numeric values and vice versa .
    Let me know on this soon ..
    regards
    Prashant

    Well, you can issue separate queries with the ordering you need from each tab in the spreadhseet. You can open an ODBC connection from a VBA macro, select a sheet, run a query, select another sheet and run another query. As for the validation, you can do this in Oracle via stored procedures or again in VBA code.

  • 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

    *   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

         creator                        = w_creator
    *     TAKE_WORKITEM_REQUESTER       = ' '
    *     START_WITH_DELAY              = ' '
    *     START_RECFB_SYNCHRON          = ' '
    *     NO_COMMIT_FOR_QUEUE           = ' '

       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.

  • How to trigger a job from the another job?

    Dear Pals,
    Im new to Business objects data integrator 11.7.2.3. 
    Requirement :
    I have two jobs JOB1 and JOB2. JOB2 to be executed only after completion of JOB1.Please do let me know how to meet this requirement.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Diras

    export the execution command for both the jobs from the web admin batch job history page
    this will export the job launch command to a .bat or .sh file depending on OS to %LINK_DIR%/log directory
    you can call these jobs in another script in sequence
    or if you are looking for lanuching Job2 only if Job1 is successful, then in the Job1 you can add a script at the end and call the script (to which the execution command is exported) for Job2 by using the exec function

  • 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.

  • Can i use OER to store the data from a excel sheet that pertains to the entire integrations ?

    hi ,
    i know that the OER can be used to view the entire landscape for the SOA composites and how they are related with each other. However we have a requirement wherein we need to store the data for the entire integration end systems e.g. ebiz, mfgpro, siebel etc ( that is we need to store data one level up).
    Also,  we want a customized form in OER wherein user can manually add data regarding the integrations.
    So is it possible to do so ? If yes, how ?

    ok, let me put it this way,
    I tried using the import/export utility available under OER admin tab.
    When i export my existing assets it generates the .xml file for each asset. Now as i have hundreds on new assets to be created for each asset type i want to be able to create a new .xml file and want it to create the new asset once i import it using import utility. I tried creating a new .xml file giving it a new UUID but it does not seem to work. Has anyone tried this earlier who can give the steps to do this ?

  • 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 ).

  • Cannot see the workflow in the BB simulator sent from the SUP workspace

    Hi All,
    I am now trying to send a workflow to my blackberry simulator from the SUP mobile workspace by clicking "Send a notification" but I do not see thw workflow in the Simulator's Message->Workflow.
    I generated the workflow in the workspace where I selected the right device while generating...
    I am able to see the simulator online in SCC and also I see that the workflow is assigned to the device in SCC.
    But when I try to send the workflow from the Unwired workspace by right clicking on the window of the workflow and clicking "Send a notification" I dont see the workflow in the simulator inside messages->workflow.

    Hi Andrew,
    Thanks again a lot for the help. It has really helped. Now I am trying to get a better understanding of how the platform, SCC and the simulator need to be configured.
    Let me write down some of my learnings:
    If one does not see the workflow then the following points should be checked.
    1. Check whether the simulator and the MDS are running properly or not. Like in my case I had installed MDS and 9800 simulator by getting 2 seperate installables. But later I got the BB 6.0 JDE and installed that. Probably this helped me out.
    2. If you dont see one of your already developed workflows not in the Simulator then develop a new workflow and try syncing that to the simulator. As you have shown it to Tapan one can get it from http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/8028374d-6490-2e10-5391-b3cb0310ad1d?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true and https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/groups/sup-apps?view=documents
    For me I was not able to move my already developed workflow to the simulator. Then I tried to get the EmpDir2_0_ESD1 from the above mentioned link and then this worked. Probably some error in my workflow. So try generating a new workflow and move that to the simulator
    3. If MDS does not comeup then it may be because you have installed it in C:Program Files. So better install the BB JDE in some other folder where you have write permission. This information I got from StackFlow.
    Hope this may help some novice like me...
    Thanks again Andrew...
    Best Regards

    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.
