Read currently running workflow information

Question

Hi everybody,
Please let me know if anyone came across a situation where we need to read the currently running workflow information..
To be precise, I have a workflow which starts a method, which in turn executes code present in an include.. Now, in this include, I need to know whether it was called from the workflow.. (What i mean to say is that, the include could have been called from many places.. like BAdI methods etc.. I need to execute a specific action only if it was called from the workflow.)
The plan could be something like.. "read all the currently running workflows and get the related information" .. Any idea how????
Regards,
Arun B

Hello again,
well, as long nobody else runs jobs using this background-user or changes the user-ID of the workflow-system, it'll work fine.
To be more precisely on the WF-BATCH user, you could also check for the configured name. Anyways, for a quick check/fix you could be fine when using this procedure.
However it'll not work within work-item execution from dialog-tasks, as then the actual user processed the code.
So here's the code snippet to determine the workflow user's user-id:
*Method signature:
* RETURNING VALUE( RV_WF_BATCH ) TYPE XUBNAME
*   "User Name of workflow background user
method GET_WORKFLOW_USER.
   DATA: lv_rfcdest             TYPE RFCDES-RFCDEST.
*   Read the RFC destination from workflow basic customizing
   CALL FUNCTION 'SWW_WIM_RFC_DESTINATION_NAME'
      IMPORTING
         WORKFLOW_DESTINATION       = lv_rfcdest.
*   Read the user-ID from this destination
   CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_READ_L_DESTINATION'          "#EC CI_USE_WANTED
       EXPORTING
          DESTINATION               = lv_rfcdest   "#EC CI_USE_WANTED
          AUTHORITY_CHECK           = ' '
       IMPORTING
          USER                      = rv_wf_batch
       EXCEPTIONS
          OTHERS                    = 0.
endmethod.
