Passing values to workflow

Hello all,
I've a report program, the output of whch is an internal table with a single field type c. (elementary internal table). I've schedule the program to run at a specific time in background. Now, whenever the program executes, I want a workflow to trigger and pass the entire internal table to the workflow. How do I achieve this? Please help me out.
Regards
Indu.

hi,
here is an example
CONSTANTS : gc_task LIKE swwwihead-wi_rh_task VALUE 'WS99900152'.
DATA : BEGIN OF it_swcont OCCURS 0.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE swcont.
DATA : END OF it_swcont.
MOVE : 'MATERIALRESERVATION' TO it_swcont-element,
             090          TO it_swcont-elemlength,
             'o'        TO it_swcont-type.
      CONCATENATE sy-sysid 'CLNT' sy-mandt
      'BUS2093' 'XXX' gd_rsnum INTO
              it_swcont-value.

Re: Help needed in passing values from workflow to Approve Forms

Dear Experts,
how do I pass values from a workflow to a step (Form) - approve form?
I am using a customized table structure as my data source (FORMCONTAINERELEMENT) but am stuck on how to access the data when i get to to the screen painter's flow logic... What am i missing? Can you give me a step by step example. the ones i see on the net are input fields that update the screen... nothing that shows value being passed from the outside.
I need to pass an exisitng value in the workflow into the form for approval of the the assigned agent.
Please help!!
Thank you.

Hello !
         Create a method just before the form step.This method should populate the values for the fields maintained in the form.
         Pass the values populated from this method to your customized table structure (data source).In other words, you have to pass all the values to the workflow container.
        To the step, pass this workflow container by binding.In the control tab of form step, you have to do the binding.

How to pass values one by one from Multiline container in workflows

Hi,
I have used a structure in my workflow as multiline container.
I want to pass values 1 by 1 to the workflow but not all the three values..so how do i pass the values 1 by 1 rather all at a time..
kindly suggest me
Thanks,
Shanky

Hi,
Create a new container with type I and set the initial value as 1. EX : Index.
Pass your Multi-line container and this index container to a new method. Get the multi line container data's into an internal table
and read the data based on the index and append the data's to a new multiline container.
Second time increment the index container by 1. So now the value of index container will be 2.
Pass the multiline container value and index to method. now it will read the second record from the internal table.
Call the method using the loop step type.
Thanks,
Viji.

Passing value from event to workflow container

Hi experts,
I have triggered a workflow using SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT fm. I have declared 3 parameters in the BO for the event. Similarly i have created the 3 parameters in workflow container to receive the values.When the user clicks a button i trigger the workflow using the fm. I have to pass values of these 3 parameters to 3 parameters of the workflow container. Can you please tell me how should i pass the value from event to workflow container. Is there any way i can set workflow container parameter values while calling the fm itself.

INPUT_CONTAINER LIKE SWR_CONT Input container (name-value pairs)
The above tables parameter is used to transfer the values from FM to workflow.

hi Kumar
BUS2012 is a business object, see it in tcode SWO1.
You can try blow code:
INCLUDE <CNTN01>.
DATA: OBJ TYPE SWC_OBJECT.
DATA: PO_ITEMS TYPE TABLE OF BAPIEKPOC.
DATA: PURCHASEORDER     TYPE     BAPIEKKO-PO_NUMBER VALUE '4500000004'.
SWC_CONTAINER CONTAINER.
SWC_CREATE_OBJECT OBJ 'BUS2012' ''.
SWC_CREATE_CONTAINER CONTAINER.
SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'NotificationType' 'S1'.
SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'PurchaseOrder' PURCHASEORDER.
SWC_CALL_METHOD OBJ 'Display' CONTAINER. " call method 'Display' show ME29N.
Infact, you can achieve all your requirment in workflow, don`t need implement BADI.
The trigger event is event 'rejection_start' in BUS2012. Create a user decision(which will show in workplace) and create a task bounding the 'Display' method of BUS2012.
There are so many detail content in scn or wiki. thanks.
hope can help you.

Pass values between two workflow steps.

Hi,
I have requirement to pass values from one workflow step to another workflow step .
1. In workflow step 1 , we have created dynamic user group.
2. I need to get user group name in another workflow step.
Thanks
Ravindra

First of all if you want to pass custom property to next step then you have to customize the current and next step (if you can it as process step). As of now i can think of one approach by setting up value in meatdata of next route as below in your execute method (if there is only one next step not with "and" or "or" condition otherwise you have to use id or name to find out next step).
first step
List<Route> routes = session.getRoutes(item)
Route route=routes.get(0);
route.getDestinations().get(0).getMetaDataMap().put("key", value)
session.complete(item,route);
destination step
MetaDataMap map=item.getWorkflowData().getMetaDataMap();
map.get("key");
You can try once to check if it works else check through session. Let me know if it doesnt' work for you.

How to pass Z values to workflow.

Hi all,
I would like to pass values of a Z table to step of workflow, specifically to condition step. I need to pass the entries values defined in Z table to compare material group of REQREQ to them.
Is possible it?
is there another solution to do it?
Many Thanks.
Regards,
David.

Hi David,
I am not sure what your exact requirement is, but to access the Ztable you can follow this approach. Create an Activity task in workflow and make a call to a BO method. In this method query the Ztable to fetch the values to be used in the workflow. Pass these values in the export parameter of the BO method.
Access the parameter in a multiline workflow container element and then use it in the workflow where ever desired.
Hope this helps!

Passing values from and to workflow container

Hi Guys,
             I am reading and writing back into the workflow container element from task container using FM.
But its not writing back the values into workflow container.
here is my code.
swc_get_element container 'TripNumber' trip_no.
Fetch Personal No. from Trip No.
SELECT SINGLE pernr FROM ptrv_head INTO l_pernr
    WHERE reinr = trip_no.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
Fetch Employee Name
SELECT SINGLE ename FROM pa0001 INTO l_ename
       WHERE pernr = l_pernr
       AND    endda >= sy-datum
       AND    begda <= sy-datum.
Fetch Employee Email id
select single usrid_long from pa0105 into l_email
   where pernr = l_pernr
     and usrty = '0010'
     and endda >= sy-datum
     AND begda <= sy-datum.
Set Personal No.
swc_set_element container 'Pernr1' l_pernr.
Employee Name
swc_set_element container 'Ename' l_ename.
Email ID
swc_set_element container 'Email' l_email
Am I missing anything here.
Thanks

Hi,
I faced the same issue and i found that it is not sufficient to just have proper bindings and using macros with exact container names.
You need to create IMPORT and EXPORT parameters for that METHOD with names matching with container element names. Once you do this, you see a GREEN binding icon right below the BO and Method name in the TASK. Click that icon and create binding between TASK and METHOD.
This should resolve your problem.
All - Please correct me if am wrong as i am new to the workflow.
Thanks,
SKJ

How to get values from workflow to program

Hello everybody,
I am stuck with an issue in workflow. I want to know how can I get the values of workflow in Abap program.
Scenario:
The workflow is triggered when a user does the transaction MIGO.
The user gets a workflow in his SAP inbox. He clicks on the link and is able to view details in MIGO.
I want to get the material number and year in program ( as shown below)
I am new to workflow, is there any kind of binding to do? And maybe a method or function module which will allow to get these values in program.
Thanks a lot
Regards

Hello,
With some help here and there, we have been able to set up the workflow. Special thanks to Modak Gupta.
I'm sharing the steps below. I would be grateful if someone could explain the different binding, what are their purposes depending on the place they are done, etc. I am still not very at ease with the binding. Thanks.
Requirement:
Once MIGO is done, the client wishes to do another MIGO. For him to know that the first MIGO has been done, he needs to get it in his SAP Inbox (Workflow). From there, he can just execute the workflow and he will do the second MIGO.
Steps:
1. Create a BAPI in SE37 to get the purchase order (we need it because we will open the second MIGO with the purchase order of the first MIGO). We will also call the transaction MIGO in the BAPI (For our requirement, it is ZMIGO, but very similar to MIGO, just some different customizing).
In the BAPI, use the function module BAPI_GOODSMVT_GETDETAIL to get the purchase order.
A BDC is also done in the BAPI to open ZMIGO with the purchase order.
Code:
FUNCTION zbapi_call_transaction.

4. Create the workflow in SWDD
Add the Business Object in the container and tick Import.
Create a task with the following details.
Click on Binding in the above screen:
Create an Activity and attach the task to it.
Affect Agents
Add a starting event in Basic Data.
Add a Process Control to end the workflow.
Workflow Final should look like this:
I hope it would be helpful to some of you. Sorry about the binding, there might be some issues not correct. But normally, if you follow the steps as they are, and for binding, you do Automatic Binding, it should be ok.

Passing values to ABAP/JAVA webdynpro appl. when workitem invoked from UWL

Hai,
We are using universal worklist for invoking a workitem. The workitme may trigger a ABAP/Java based webdynpro application. I have registered the tasks associated with the workitem in universal worklist.
I have few doubts in the integration part,
1. When a workitem is clicked in UWL, I want to get some values from the workflow container and show it on the webdynpro application. In the webdynpro application I can call a function module to get the values from workflow container by passing in workitem id.How can I pass a workitem id to webdynpro application when a workitme is clicked.
2. After the user open the workitem a webdynpro application is shown on the screen. Lets assume this screen is having "Approve", "Reject" and "Exit" button. When this button is clicked how to pass that information to workflow so that the workflow flow its paths.
Please let me know how to do this.
Thanks & Regards,
H..K.Hayath Basha.

Hai Chintan,
I checked the blog, and found the below code,
workflowrawdata =
    wd_context->get_child_node(
          'WORKFLOWRAWDATA' ).
CALL METHOD
              WORKFLOWRAWDATA->GET_ATTRIBUTE
         EXPORTING
                 NAME   = 'WI_ID'
         IMPORTING
                  VALUE = wi_id.
I have the following doubts in the code,
1. Where I have to put this code,
2. Using which data element or type I have to declare, "workflowrawdata".
3. Should I have to declare "WI_ID" in parameter tab of Webdynpro application.
4. In webdynpro application what I did is,
a. In the context of component controller, i have created attributes to store workflow id, and some attributes to store the value from workflow container.
b. I created a view and in view context i have created attributes to store workflow id, and some attributes to store the value from workflow container.
c. I created some UI elements in the view and binded that UI elements with view context.
d. I binded view context with the context of component controller.
e. I created a window and in the view context i have created attributes to store workflow id, and some attributes to store the value from workflow container.
f. I did context mapping between window context and component controller context.
g. I added the view to the window.
h. I created a inbound plug with name "START". This creates a method called "HANDLESTART" to this method I added a importing parameter named "WI_ID" and added the below code,
data : lo_node               type ref to IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE,
       l_cont                 type standard table of swr_cont,
       l_cont_line            type swr_cont,
       rc                     type sy-subrc,
       l_wi_id                type sww_wiid,
       l_object               type SWOTOBJID,
       lv_workitem_attributes type swr_wihdr.
call method wd_context->get_child_node
     exporting
       name = 'WORKFLOWRAWDATA'
     RECEIVING
       child_node = lo_node.
lo_node->set_attribute( value = wi_id name = 'WI_ID' ).
l_wi_id = wi_id.
Please let me know what else i have to do to get the workflow id in ABAP-Webdynpro application.

Passing data to workflow container declared as sturcture

Hi all,
I am working on SAP workflow(4.6C version) and has decalred a container element (Invoiceheaderdata) as IMPORT with datatype reference as ABAP Dictionary and Referance table as <zstructure>.
Now when i run the workflow for tesing from workflow definition itself i get selection screen for input data with the container element.
But when i try to enter my data for the structure it gives an error message "PLEASE ENTER THE VALUE FOR ELEMENT USING INPUT HELP".
Please some one let me know how to pass values to a container element <sturcture type>
I had successfully run this workflow in 4.7 so please answer only for 4.6C verison but not keeping in mind the 4.7
any inputs in this regard are appriciated
Thanks in advance
Lakshmi Narayana.S

hi nayak,
i tried even that option when i try to use F4 help it raises a message saying "input not supported for structured elements of data type structure".
So in this case what should i do?
even if you know somebody who worked on 4.6C version pls let me know. I'll give full points
Thanks

Passing Values to a dropdown list within a dialog box

I am using the app.execDialog(dialog1) command to display a dialog box on my form. The dialog box contains dropdown list (popup). I have found examples that do this but in all the examples they reference the loadDefaults function with hardcoded values.
For example:
loadDefaults: function (dialog)
dialog.load(
subl:
"Acrobat Standard": "111",
"Adobe Reader": "222"
Does anyone know if there is a way to pass values into the loadDefaults via a variable etc.. I can get the data I want to populate the dropdown with but I cant figure out how to load it into the control.
Thanks
Ken

Hi scamp, not sure what you're asking. What do you mean by "pass" fields from one list to another? If you need information in list 1 to show in list 2, just create lookup columns in the SharePoint list. If you mean you want to add columns to
list 2 automatically, you'll need to make a designer workflow for that.

Default method - how to pass value to method container?

Hello,
I am dealing with a hyperlink in 'Objects and Attachements' section of the workitem.When i click on the link, the default method of the business object gets called automatically.
My question is: How to pass values to the default method (i.e. method container) as i don't invoke the method in my workflow explicitly? The method gets called when we click on the hyperlink.
Regards,
Monica.

Hello Monica,
a default method doesn't require parameters (and cannot make use of them), as they are designed to be called from various situation, such as the view from a workflow container, the display button within a workitem or the attachment list. So this is part of the system design.
To make an object dependent of workitem values I usually follow two different design patterns:
<b>1) Using a flowitem/workitem instance with a special default method</b>
- Create a subobject from type WORKITEM (if I'm going to use values from the current workflow instance) or subobject from type WORKINGWI (if I'm going to use values from the current dialog workitem).
- Do not make a general substitution for this new object type
- If using a ZWORKITEM, create an instance of this object type before the dialog step and then pass this object to the dialog workitem
- If using ZWORKINGWI, assign the object instance during the data flow to the step.
- In the properties of the object choose (any one) default method
- Within the coding you have the reference to the workitem/flowitem as object-key-... and you can further use functions/methods to read the workitem/flowitem container and do whatever has to be done
<b>2) Retrieving values from the current workitem on-the-fly</b>
Within the coding of the default method call the function module SWO_QUERY_REQUESTER that returns the instance/id of the current workitem-in-work (with is also set when using the hyperlink from a workitem). If the list is empty, there's no active workitem, otherwise use functions/methods to read the workitem container.
--> edit: Solution is not release safe, is it aint working with SAP R/3 Enterprise and higher

Deferred Tasks - Passing Variables into Workflow

Hi everyone
I am experiencing difficulties with deferred tasks in IDM 8.1. I have managed to create a deferred task on a user, with the task name being Generate Email. I also passed in an attribute id, and these can be seen in the user view under waveset.properties.tasks.
<Activity id='1' name='Add Deferred Task'>
                <Action id='1' application='com.waveset.session.WorkflowServices'>
                    <Argument name='op' value='addDeferredTask'/>
                    <Argument name='type' value='User'/>
                    <Argument name='name'>
                        <ref>accountId</ref>
                    </Argument>
                    <Argument name='authorized' value='true'/>
                    <Argument name='subject'>
                        <s>Configurator</s>
                    </Argument>
                    <Argument name='task'>
                        <ref>taskToAdd</ref>
                    </Argument>
                    <Argument name='date'>
                        <new class='java.util.Date'/>
                    </Argument>
                    <Argument name='owner'>
                        <ref>WF_CASE_OWNER</ref>
                    </Argument>
                    <Argument name='taskDefinition'>
                        <new class='com.waveset.object.GenericObject'>
                            <map>
                                <s>id</s>
                                <ref>accountId</ref>
                            </map>
                        </new>
                    </Argument>
                </Action>
            </Activity>I have set up a scheduler that correctly scans all the user objects for this workflow name, and the Generate Email workflow is periodically run.
The problem is when it gets to the Generate Email workflow, all the variables that were set when the deferred task was created are gone. Both <ref>id</ref> and <Variable name=id input=true/> return null.
Setting the following in the TaskSchedule object did not help, as the string value $(id) is passed into the workflow instead of the id itself. I cannot debug the TaskSchedule as the Netbeans IDE does not allow me to put in breakpoints on this file.
<Variables>
    <Object>
      <Attribute name='id' value='$(id)'/>
    </Object>
</Variables>My question is, how do I pass variables into a workflow via a deferred task?

Hi,
Here is an example that I found that may assist.
<Activity name='setDefTask'>
     <Action application='com.waveset.session.WorkflowServices'>
       <Argument name='op' value='addDeferredTask'/>
       <Argument name='name' value='$(user)'/>
       <Argument name='task' value='$(taskType)'/>
       <Argument name='date' value='$(date)'/>
       <Argument name='description' value='$(taskDescription)'/>
       <Argument name='taskDefinition'>
          <Object>
              <Attribute name='Arg1' value='value1'/>
              <Attribute name='Arg2' value='value2'/>
              <Attribute name='Arg3' value='value3'/>
          </Object>
       </Argument>
     </Action>
     <Transition to='end'/>
</Activity>Hope it helps
