Start workflow with BAPI / RFC

HI!
I want to start a workflow in Business workflow by RFC. Are there any BAPI for this that i can use. ?

Hey Dominik,
Use following FM to start Workflow
<b>SPH_SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE - RFC
SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE - Normal FM</b>
You can pass data by using parameter WI_CONTAINER in TABLES tab.
Reward points if the answer is helpful.
Thankx,

Starting workflow with HTTP-Post

Hello,
like I wrote in Starting workflow with HTTP-Post I have a problem with starting a workflow with a http-post:
I have an installation of SAP ERP 2005 SR2 IDES on Win2003 SR2 SP2 and want to start a simple workflow with an external application. Therefor I created an elementary test-workflow and set the general task flag so everybody is allowed to start it. So far everything work fine as I start it manually.
Now I want to start the workflow by an external application over a HTTP-Post as described in
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/54/de9e3887d6174fe10000009b38f842/content.htm

Service: WebFlow (Intranet)
Address: http://192.168.0.216:8000/

and sent a post via perl to http://192.168.0.216:8000/SAP/BC/WORKFLOW_XML/?protocol=01&localkey=WS99900004

I also tried to post the XML via html-form-field with the same result.
Did I forgot something essential?

Hello Daniel
It's 6 years after you posted your question, but I found your post very useful and thought it would be worth updating for future reference.
I've just managed to trigger a workflow via http.
URL :
http://server.domain:8000/sap/bc/workflow_xml?sap-client=110
Java :
URL obj = new URL(url);
URLConnection con = (URLConnection) obj.openConnection();
String userpass = "username:password";
String basicAuth = "Basic " + javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary(userpass.getBytes());
con.setRequestProperty ("Authorization", basicAuth);
con.setRequestProperty("Content-type", "text/xml");
con.setDoOutput(true);
DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(con.getOutputStream());
wr.write( xml.getBytes("UTF-8") );
wr.flush();
wr.close();
You can then read the response.
I found that until I added the sap_client parameter I couldn't debug in CL_HTTP_WORKFLOW_XML->IF_HTTP_EXTENSION~HANDLE_REQUEST. Then I found that the content type has to be "text/xml".
I set the xml variable (the data sent to ECC) to :
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<WfMessage Version="SAP.1.0" xmlns="http://www.wfmc.org/standards/doc/WF-XML">

Start workflow with f. module to trigger event and how to pass data to BOR?

Hi,
I have a custom BOR object, with Event "Created". I have also an attribute in this BOR, just simple field Plant.
I have prepared a custom Workflow which is triggered when event Created of that custom BOR business object is raised.
To raise an event and to start a workflow I run f. module SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT.
I have a problem to pass a Plant value to the Workflow container. In the PFTC_CHG for my Workflow I made the container
of BOR object, and the data binding &_EVT_OBJECT& => &MATREQ& (symbol of my BOR).
Below both of EVTOBJECT and MATREQ I can see my field Plant.
Then I run f. module SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT with tables parameter input_container.
I try to fill the data in many ways, but the started workflow does not have Plant filled.
I try to use '_EVT_OBJECT.WERKS' in field name for input_container parameters.
Business Object is passed to the Workflow container, but I do not get the fields
as attributes. Do I have to use the parameters for the event Created ?
Thank you in advance
Wojtek

Hello,
I've never used GUID as a key but I suppose the principles are the same - the object instance is equivalent to "something", say a widget.
This widget has attributes, e.g. the factory where it was created, the day it was created, its weight etc.
If you make a widget BOR object and you specify attributes then you're telling SAP how, given the key, it can deduce the value of the attributes. Widget 1234's weight can be looked up in table XXX by doing this select.
If you pass an object instance to a workflow then all you need to pass is the type of object and the key, the rest can be done by the workflow (or any other program). It can instantiate the object, and the attribute values are immediately available.
If you can instantiate the object in SWO1 and the attributes get values, then it should work in the workflow as well.
If not, please provide the code of the attribute or describe how it finds the attribute value.

Rick Bakker

Secure BAPI/RFC call

Hi All,
Iu2019m wondering if I can set up a secure connection between MII and ECC when I'm working with BAPI/RFC calls. I heard that MII supports the SAP proprietary interface called Secure Network Communication (SNC), but I donu2019t know if it is already enabled or if I should to do some additional configurationu2026
Does anyone have any experience on this topic?
Regards,
Henry

Hi Henry,
I never setup a SNC with MII. I can't see any properties in the JCO. In the JRA exist some properties for SNC.
Take a look on this:

Problem starting a workflow with a timed event.

Hi all,
I am trying to start a workflow with a timed event this way,
Start Date Expression: StringToDate("20:09", "HH:mm")
Reschedule: 1 day
I save the workflow at 20:07, but nothing happens at 20:09.
Any hints?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Thomas,
Wf-XML was implemented when XI wasn't even a glint in SAP's eye. The message arrives in the SAP Web AS and triggers a workflow directly (or responds to an incoming workflow request message).
Exception: prior to the 6.10 release of the Web AS the incoming messages are received in an ITS.

How to create SynBO with BAPIs from R/3 server?

Hi,
Can I get any documents or links regarding Syncbo creation with BAPIs from another R/3 server. I think I have to create RFC destination for this. The steps for creating RFC destination in Netweaver 2004s is also helpful for me.
Also I need the required configurations also.
Regards
Shemim

Hi Shemin,
Refer the following link for Mobile Development Kit
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/21eba3a7-0601-0010-b982-92f1fca3258a
This will provide you with rules of creating BAPI wrappers and sample BAPI wrappers.
For creating RFC destination, contact your BASIS team member. You may not rights to do it by yourself. They will also tell the exact prodecure. It start with transaction SM59.

Workflow Event Trace:RFC Status : Error in target syst

Hi Gurus,
I am working on a custom workflow which is called in a loop from a transaction. There is a transaction which creates multiple documents. We need to start the workflow for each of them. This works fine for around 80-85 documents. For the remaining documents workflow does not start. I am trying with 200 documents.For the remaining documents event is triggered and in event trace, i see the information that receiver started correctly.But in RFC Status it displays as 'Error in Target System'. This is definitely due to system overload. Is there something that can be done for the same. Is this number configured somewhere like how many workflows can work in parallel.

Hello,
How do you know it's due to system overload?
200 workflows should be okay, but how quickly are they created? If it's all done within one second then yes, there could be a problem. You could stretch it out programmatically or you could use the queue, as Sue suggests.

Starting Workflow from Record

Dear all,excuse me for my english.
1) I want to create workflow with
record.For doing this i'm creating service provider for workflow
and use standart function to start wf.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c8/057 03a1ff16f68e1
0000000a11402f/content.htm
For this function programm send input container , that must
include parameters:
- RECORD Business object RECORD.
- AKTID: ID of the record
- ACTCL: Document class of the record
- RMSID: RMS ID of the RMS in which the record was
created.
- AKTSPSID: Element type of the record
- FIRSTAGENT: "US" + current user name
- AKTLOGSYS: RFC destination of the system in which
Records
But in debug mode i can see only last 4.What i must do for
programm sends also record,aktid, actcl?
2)When adding a document to case we may execute method create, but in this method we need that BO reading elements from container.
How i can solve this problem?
Help me plz, thanks.

You have created your own function module to start the workflow, is that correct? The obvious question then is: How do you set up the container to pass parameters to the workflow? This isn't done with customizing when you create your own function module, it is done with ABAP coding.
There are (at least) two possibilities for passing a BOR object instance to a workflow. The simple one is to raise an event for the object, then the BOR object will be found as the event object and can be bound from the triggering event. Another possibility is to fill the container manually. That means you must create the object ID (persistent object reference). Typically you will use the macros available in <cntn01> to create this object reference. Then you must put this object ID in the container with the correct element name, i.e. the name you find in the workflow definition.

Hi
Workflow automates the steps and activities in a business process according to predefined procedures and rules.
Workflow presents information and documents to the appropriate knowledge worker or agent (another entity such as a program) to make a decision or perform an activity.
Workflow tracks each and every step in the process flow and maintains an ongoing status.
Workflow also collects and reports all of the metrics associated with the execution and completion of the process.

What are idocs, BAPI, RFC?

Hi,
What are idocs, BAPI, RFC?
Regards,
anuj

Hii,
BAPIs and RFCs are the functions exposed by SAP, when it comes to the integration part, you have to know that particular BAPI or RFC. For example, if you want to get table data or want to query to the SAP table then you use RFC_READ_TABLE. Similarly if you want to know whether customer is existing, you need to know which RFC/BAPI has this info. May I know which tool are you using, are you talking about generating a proxy and playing around that.
Data Creation in Idoc
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
FOr testing you can use WE19.

http://www.erpgenie.com/sapedi/idoc_abap.htm
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30 )
Create Message Type ( WE81 )
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82 )
Creating a Segment
Go to transaction code WE31
Enter the name for your segment type and click on the Create icon
Type the short text
Enter the variable names and data elements
Save it and go back
Go to Edit -> Set Release
Follow steps to create more number of segments
Create IDOC Type
Go to transaction code WE30
Enter the Object Name, select Basic type and click Create icon
Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
Select the IDOC Name and click Create icon
The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
Choose the appropriate values and press Enter
The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDOC editor.
Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation
Save it and go back
Go to Edit -> Set release
Create Message Type
Go to transaction code WE81
Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
After selection, the system will give this message The table is cross-client (see Help for further info). Press Enter
Click New Entries to create new Message Type
Fill details
Save it and go back
Assign Message Type to IDoc Type
Go to transaction code WE82
Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
After selection, the system will give this message The table is cross-client (see Help for further info). Press Enter.
Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
Fill details
Save it and go back

An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
Inbound Process
AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
Create Message Type ( WE81)
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

BAPI/RFC for Sales Order or Warehouse Order that retrives VBAK,VBAP,VBEP

Hi,
   Is there any BAPI/RFC for Sales Order or Warehouse Order that retrives VBAK,VBAP,VBEP and VBPA tables for specified inputs.
   The BAPI or RFC should return the Sales Order details with tables VBAK,VBAP,VBEP and VBPA.
   Rewards if useful.
Thanks,
Mich

Try creating an RFC calling FM: SD_SALES_DOCUMENT_PREFETCH with required details for Header, Item, Schedule and Partners.
Below code can give you idea in handling the FM.
PARAMETERS: p_vbeln TYPE vbeln_vl OBLIGATORY.
CONSTANTS: c_x TYPE char01 VALUE 'X'.
DATA: st_view TYPE order_view,
      i_vbak_key TYPE TABLE OF sales_key,
      i_vbak TYPE TABLE OF vbak,
      i_vbap TYPE TABLE OF vbapvb,
      i_vbep TYPE TABLE OF vbepvb,
      i_vbpa TYPE TABLE OF vbpavb.
START-OF-SELECTION.
MOVE c_x TO : st_view-header,
                st_view-item,
                st_view-sdschedule,
                st_view-partner.
APPEND p_vbeln TO i_vbak_key.
CALL FUNCTION 'SD_SALES_DOCUMENT_PREFETCH'
    EXPORTING
      i_sales_view = st_view
      i_memory_read = 'A'
    TABLES
      i_vbak_keytab = i_vbak_key " List of Sales Orders to extract
      fxvbak        = i_vbak     " Header
      fxvbap        = i_vbap     " Item
      fxvbep        = i_vbep     " Schedule Lines
      fxvbpa        = i_vbpa.    " Partners

Start workflow with BAPI / RFC
