Regarding failuare of conditions step in Workflow.

Hi,
My workflow activity step calls webdynprofunction module.After screen is approved control goes back to workflow and condition statement immediatly below activity step get executed.However this condition always fails ie even after approving and getting approve value in container, reject branch of condition gets always executed. can anybody provide me solution?
Thanks & Regards.

Hi Sanjay,
Many have come across this situation earlier and couldn't really find out why this happens.
I would suggest that you delete the condition step and recreate it. Also clear the buffer using SWU_OBUF and see if it helps.
This is what i did when i faced this issue and helped.
All the best.

About case and switch in multiple condition step in workflow.

i ve some information about case and switch in multiple condition in workflow.
case - static determination
switch - runtime determination.
but i want brief explanation about case and switch and difference please help me.....

hi velmurugan............
    in case,
           we can have only one value for comparison and can have any number of branches for it.
   in switch,
           we can compare any number of values and have any number of branches.
eg:
     consider i am triggering a workflow for purchase order change and i am having a multiple condition step.
if i am going for a case:
        i can have only on value (ie po number/vendor number.....) as a parameter and can check different values with it. ( eg vendor number < 1000
                                                             vendor number > 1000.... so on)
        a branch will be created for each condition.
if i am going for a switch:
        i can take any parameter needed. (eg: vendor number > 1000
                                                                order type = 'NB' .... so on)
         so a single branch can have any number of comparisons with the help of 'and' and 'or' operators and i can have any parameter for my condition.

Issue with Condition step in workflow

Hi Guys,
I am using a condition step to check the value of a variable A. If the value of A is 7 , then the wf will follow the true branch. If not it will go down the false branch. This is as simple as that. But the wf was going down the wrong path when i tried to test it. Meaning even if the value of A is 7, it was going down the false branch.
So i simulated that condition in the editor and manually entered a value of 7 for A and still it is going down the false branch.
I havent seen this issue before. Have any of you? I ahve tried clearing buffer, creating new version of the wf. But nothing has worked. I even tried to reverse the condition check. Like i tried to give IF A not equal to 7. Still its going down the worng branch.
Any ideas? The variable if declared of the type SYST-PEXPI. And the funny part is this wf is working fine in production.
Harish

Hi Harish,
Sometimes it happens that the value of the variable is not yet populated when the workflow is at the COndition step. Hence it always follow the same path irrespective of the actual value that needs to come.
Please check if the container element you are checking is having the correct value when at the COndition step. Else you can try adding a wait for few seconds step before the condition step and then test.
I guess the performance of the Production system is better than the dev or quality system so you are not facing the issue there.

Using send email step in workflow

Hi Experts,
I have a question regarding the send email step in workflow.
We have the Receipient Type as Organizational Object and Expression as &WF_INITIATOR&.
I want to know if the mail will be sent to the SAP email ID (i.e) in SBWP or will be it be sent to the Outlook email ID.
We want to send it to the Outlook email ID of the User. Can you guide us as to how we can do the same.
In some cases, we want to send the notification to both the employee and his manager. Can this be managed through the SEND EMAIL step in the workflow or do we have to explicitly create a method and use a std FM that sends the email to the concerned.
Request your help on the same.
Cheers,
Belinda Clarke

>We are getting the pernr of the employee. We can retrieve his email address for the same. So do we need to pass this to a workflow container and then use that workflow container value in the space provided for the email address.
Yes. It is really up to you how you will develop everything. I personally like to get all the data into the workflow container, because it might be handy later in the life. Let's say that you go on with your custom email sending step and add there the code the get the data that you need in the email. It will work perfectly. But let's say that after six months the HR administrators want to get emails with a bit different content from this same workflow. Now you will need do another custom step. But if you had already all the data in the container you can simply add another standard email step and formulate the text with the editor and add the variables from the workflow container. Easy and simple.
So, my advice is that for example add just add some background step to get all the possible data regarding the employees & leave request & managers or whatever. Now you have everything in the container and you can use them in the email(s) - and you can use them in other places too - for example in the work item texts, etc.

Condition step issue in a workflow

Hi Gurus,
I have a condition in my workflow which checks for an attribute value of he business object if its equal to 'X' based on which it takes two different paths for 'yes' or 'no'. I find it always takes the 'no' path irrespective of what is the value of the attribute whether 'X' or space. I have done this kind of steps many times in the past and never had an issue like this.
I check the attribute value gets populated well in the container.
Has anybody faced this ind of issue, great if some body can tell if I am missing on any thing. I am on ECC6.0
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Sasi

Hi,
say your attribute as 'flag'
and you are trying to check flag = X yes then do something,
for No do something else
check whether flag is populated correct and bindings are done correctly.
Kind Regards

Workflow Condition Step Failing

Hi All,
I am facing a very peculiar error.
I have two outcomes modelled depending on a varible (Material Type) in the worklfow.
My workflow gets triggered when I push SUBMIT button on my ADOBE interactive form on ABAP Web Dynpro launcehd
from UWL. Now if i check the workflow container, the variable is set properly. But still the condition fails. A backgorund task
having import parameters as Owrkflow container elements fails with an exception even though the import parameters are set.
But yes, again the workflow container same elements can be displayed on any form in further steps by reading the container
from ABAP webDynpro launched from UWL. Peculiar !!!
The same workflow works fine if I directly set the variables and test the workflow.
Why this ?..... Any Idea.... ? If something is written on to the workflow container can the workflow work on those variables ?
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Deb

Hi Rick,
Thanks for your suggestions. Actually we could solve it ina different way. It was a nice but tricky error in muy coding.
Here is what I was doing:
1) I tirgger my workflow on click of 'SUBMIT' button on my ADOBE interactive in AWD
2) Then I get the instance of the workflow to get the Workflow Work Item ID
3) Now I write the form data to the workflow container.
Note: By the time I write to my container, my workflow had been already triggered, with the condition step at the 1st.
And the container is not yet written, hence the condition fails.
Solution: I used a wait step. And Read the workflow container in loop untill the container elements are populated.
Once out of this loop, I now tirgger the write to the container and raise the wait event.
Cheers !!

Hi Sanjay,
Firstly are you using Send mail Activity or are u calling Fm SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.
Well I suppose u are calling the FM, in that case just check the data that you are fetching before calling this FM. This error is related to sql query so check your select statements used before sending mail.
Hope this helps.

Condition in condition step type always fails

Hello all !
        I've a condition step type in workflow.
        The condition is as follows :
                       &ZBUS2011.REQ_TYPE& = 0001 AND &PLANT& = X
        The containers in workflow log is populated with required values. However, the above condition fails for no reason.
        More over, on clicking "Evaluation condition with test data" button in condition display window, a pop-up message " The evaluation of the condition gives the result 'False' "appears.
        Whether this could be the cause ? How to make the result 'True' ?
        Any suggestion most welcome.
Regards,
S.Suresh.

Hi Suresh,
Is your attribute ZBUS2011.REQ_TYPE a vitrual attribute ? If so please check if the attribute is getting re-calculated during runtime. You can check this by instantiating the BOR and check initial value and then click on refresh button and see if the value has changed.
Thanks,

Hi Sharma,
I have noticed with my workflows that often when you add or delete a task in a workflow, the bindings of other steps are also affected.
In your case, the binding of some other step could have got disturbed because of deletion of the multi condition step.
I would suggest you to create a new version of the workflow and compare your workflow after deletion of the step with the previous version. Check the bindings at each step.
Hope this helps!

Condition step expression comparison

Hi all,
I want use a condition step to check acondition like lv_expression1 = lv_expression2.
but i am not able to use variable in expression2, it's accepting as constants.
How to compare two variables in workflow?
Thanks.

It should be possible in the condition editor. First double click the first container element. Then set for example '='. Now double click another container element (don't put anything into the constant field). => You have comparison between two container elements.

Condition step

Dear Friend,
How to check whether a variable is initial or not in condition step type.
Thanks & Regards,
Arti

Usually the Not exist option also works. But why didn't you just try some things? It is not that hard to make a simple workflow with a condition and try out some option in the condition. I even think you would have had your answer sooner and also it would teach you something about the options you have in the condition.

Creating a new condition in a Workflow

Hello,
I am a beginner in using the Workflow Builder (SWDD) and I need to add a new condition in a Workflow.
In the properties of my new condition I need to click on "Click here to create a new condition" and then a Change Condition Window appears. I need to select The Expression 1 in the Container but the one I need is not listed.
I would like to create a new entry in the Container. How can I do that?
Thank you in advance for guiding me.
Best regards,
Sylvain

Assign values in condition step

Hi Friends..
iam creating container attribute refering standard structures..
and use that attributes in conditional step...
whenever iam executing the workflow it shows an warning message like this.
"container element is read purpose only.no values are assigned to it"
at the execution time this step was not working.. so what is the actual problem.. how can ihandle this
Thanks
Gowrishankar

I think You are creating attribute in Business Object. If you are doing so then create another container element in the Wflow and do a container operation of assigning the Attribute to this elelement. Please note that the Element type should match. I hope it is not a Multiliner. Use the container element which has been assigned the Attribute value in the Condition Step.
