Multiline container element in workflow

Dear all,
I am using a multiline container element in workflow container. Can anybody suggest how I can see the values of that element? After workflow execution is COMPLETED and I go to SWI1, it shows only simple elements. It doesn't show any of my multiline elements.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Pranav.

Hi Pranav,
It does work in 6.20. I am not sure about 4.6C.
Display Technical Details from the Workflow log for your WF instance. You can examine the Container values for each of the steps. See if the values show up (are you certain your multiline container has been populated?). If you are populating the multiline container from an object method, verify by testing your object method that the parameter are correctly defined and it is getting populated.

Workflows : Multiline Container Element problem.

Hi,
I got a new problem. Well I got a requirement to collect COMMENTS from MULTI-LEVEL Supervisors and display them in the work item preview. So in these regards, I had declared a Multiline Container element in my Workflow and passed it to some method to get the comments. Well I had succeeded till this point. But there is a problem when I tried to display them in WORKITEM.
Well, all the lines are getting displayed continously in the Work Item preview.
Is there any solution for this ?
Like I want to display the Multiline Container element line wise. Not as a concatenated single line which is happening right now.
In the Work Item Text part I used it as ...
Comments from Supervisor : &COMMENTS&
This is FYI...
Please help me.
Regards,
Raja Sekhar.

Hi Vinod,
Well, I tried including the MULTI LINE Element in a Mail step. It gave me all the three options of printing.
First one is...
Only first line of Container element can be printed using
&COMMENT&
Second one is...
All the lines of Container element can be printed in a single line as &COMMENT[]&
Third one is...
All the lines of Container element can be printed in seperate lines as &COMMENT##&
I used the third one. It worked even the same in Work Item also.

Raja Sekhar

Output of multiline container element in email not working

I'm trying to display a multiline container element in an e-mail from workflow. The element container contains 2 lines. I can see these have been populated in the log in SWIA. However, when using &ITAB##& to output these lines nothing is diplayed. I've also tried &ITAB[]& and &ITAB& all of which return no lines in the e-mail.
Does anyone know if this is something I'm doing wrong or is there an error in R/3. I'm on release 4.6c.
Thanks
Karen

This is getting annoying. This was sednging e-mails and printing the table in the e-mail fine. Then I had to add more fields to the table ITAB. After this the table wasn't showing again in the e-mail. I recreated the workflow, tasks and even the BOM, but still nothing.
As before I can see the ITAB entries in the details of the e-mail task. But, they don't get written into the e-mail even though I'm selecting &ITAB##& from the Expressions section to put into the e-mail.
Is there anything I haven't tried. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is this a SAP problem that can be fixed with a note. I've had a look, but can't find anything about it.
Thanks
Karen

Using Multiline Container element in sending mail

Hi,
I am sending mail with Multiline Container element APTEXT.
I put &APTEXT##& Is this right ?
But when I have 2 lines of data, its sending mail with only one line.
Thanks

It is my personal observation that if the line size is more than 132 charecters then it will display like that.
So do like this
1. First make the row size as 125.
2. and when you are selecting the multiline container element in the mail content, then it will ask you 3 options selct the option Print line by line then check the mail.
It worked in my case.

Mail not send to multiple users even Multiline container element has value

Hi,
I have collected the AGENTS to send mail notification in a multiline container element using a background step. The method collect the agent and return in to a container. I use this container in the following mail step using expression. The type id is 'G'. The mail step fails .The address string is filled also with agents.
Please guide me if u have come across this situation early.
Regards,
Richard A

I think if you are passing SAP User Id then the SAP User Id should be concatenated with US in the front.
If this is maintained in the container element and if still send mail is failing then it might be that one of the USER Id does not exist in the system.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Workflow: check multiline container element for emptiness

Hi!
Please suggest how to check multiline workflow-container element for emptiness in condition block.
Regards,
Maxim.

Hi Max,
One way to do this is to add a process step which calls a function module passing the multiline container as the import parameter. In this function mod, you can check for emptiness and set a variable which will be the export parameter. Map this export parameter of the step to a workflow container field. Finally in the next step (control block) you can check the above workflow field.

BPM: How to return the total number of lines in Multiline Container Element

Hi all:
I am trying to follow the following blog to do message splitting:
/people/narendra.jain/blog/2005/12/30/various-multi-mappings-and-optimizing-their-implementation-in-integration-processes-bpm-in-xi
In the blog, total number of messages for Message1 was returned to Count in Message 2.
If I do not want to create message 2, if there any way to return total number lines in multiline elements ? Because this number need to be used to specify in loop condition:
While Indxe != TotalNumberOfLines
Thanks
Liang

Hi, Matias:
For the loop block option, your answer is passing message count in different message type is best option !
I really do not know why SAP does not deliver a build-in function to return the number of items in multiline element at run time ?
Now the question for the second option: ForEach block:
When I leave current line of block properties empty, the compile does not pass
I have to input a another element (Var_Cur) in current line
Inside my block, I have one send step, it will send Var_Dest[Index], followed by a container operation step to increment Index by 1.
With above setup, I compile it, compile passed, but it says:
"Container Element Var_Cur in Step Block1 is initialized but not used"
then I added another containter operation step in block:
Var_Cur = Var_Dest[Index]
I modified send step to send Var_Cur rather than Var_Dest.
Up to now, I can compile it without any warnings.
But when I send message to IE, the message pass pipe line, but it seems does not pass the BPE.
When I go to SXI_CACHE, to check the return code for my Integration process is 0, means no error.
But my message does not reach my target system.
Where do you think I made wrong ?
Thanks
Liang

How to create a container element in workflow container

Hi,
I am learning WF by a Tutorial. In which absence of notification was considered as example. As per tutorial, I created two task for creating a Notification and checking a absence
In the next step it ask to create a container element(approver) to workflow container. How i can create the same.
Also, please clarify me on the binding between task container and workflow container....with this example
Thanks
Suresh

Hi,
On the workflow builder LEFT side below the navigation area u can see this <Double-Click to Create>.
Double click and create the container.
During binding it looks as follows.
Workflow -
> Task
Workflow <----
Task
What happen here is from workflow the data passed to task and it is used for processing, after that it returned back to the workflow. Now u can create the container on bothside and bind the data. ie Variables.
Creating container u can refer : http://www.****************

Use Multiline Container Element in User Decision

Hi Gurus,
I have a Multiline Container in my User Decision Task. I am able to pull the data in a Standard Text to the Multi Line Container Element if type RSTXT-TXLINE. But how do I display the total data in all the lines in that element to the User Decision Workitem Text.
Thanx & regards,
Kan

You cannot insert all the table entries in the Decision step workitem Text. it wont allow you to display, one of the possible ways to fix it is please check this [blog|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3417500)ID1574174750DB11406479040085832269End?blog=/pub/wlg/15666]

ECC 6.0 - WS20000050 - Container Elements from Workflow to Rule in step 172

Hello Guys/Gals,
Hope you all are doing good.
Greatly appreciate if you could help on this with some tips.
We are under the process of the upgradation to ECC 6.0. Decided to use the std WF WS20000050 for travel request.However work flow ended in error at step 372(Approve Travel request) saying
"Source (expression '&TRIP.EMPLOYEENUMBER&') of binding assignment is not available" and
"Source (expression '&TRIP.TRIPNUMBER&') of binding assignment is not available" and
Error in the evaluation of expression '<???>&TRIP.TRIPNUMBER&' for item '1'..etc.
Can anyone tell what is are the container elements need to be passed and possible errors.
Good Day.
Raj

Hello,
Check in SWO1 if the BO related to the TRIP container element has those attributes (EMPLOYEENUMBER and TRIPNUMBER) and if so then check in the workflow log if they have a value.

Dynamic parallel processing using a multiline container element

Hi All ,
I just wanted to how things work when we use "Dynamic parallel processing" for a decision step . I came across a situation wherein a Rule gets the approving user(s) and the work item should be sent to all those users . After getting an approval from all the users , the workflow should proceed or else it should terminate .
I was just wondering whether "Dynamic parallel processing" will do this job or not . I had also thought of using forks but as the number of approvers are decided at runtime , i dont think it is possible .
Any inputs ?
Edit : We are working on CRM 5.0
Thanks ,
Shounak M.
Message was edited by: Shounak M

Hi Shounak,
Just do as Mike says:
use the multiline element for a subflow.
The subflow consists of your user decision, if someone rejects it, remember it (could be done by updating a small table using a method, or use an event, or what mike suggested, updating appending a table )
In the top flow, after the multiline element step determine if someone rejected it (wait for event, or reading the table).
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

How to use data of multiline element from workflow container

Hi,
Can you please tell me how to access rows of multiline element of workflow container.
Scenario is like below.
I have values in a multiline container(table) of workflow container.
Now inside Fork branches i need to check for specific data in the above table and with that condition i have to send workitem.
I hope u can understand,otherwise please revert.
Thanks in advance,
Madhu

You cannot didrectly check the condition...
what you have to do is.. write a inside the method as below and set the flag...and use the flag in condition editor...
SWC_GET_TABLE CONTAINER 'AGENTS' lt_agents.
loop at lt_agents ino wa_agents.
if wa_agents = 'A'.
lv_flag = X.
endif.
endloop.
SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'FLAG' lv_flag.
Create an export parameter FLAG as char1 with export marked.
Do the neccesary bindings from task to workflow.
Then in workflow check this flag in condition editor.
