Starting Workflow from Generic Object Services

Hi All.
We are on ECC6. In transaction MM02 when I excute 'Start Workflow' from Generic Object Services, no workflows are found. Can anyone help me with the following issues;
1. What is the underlying object in transaction MM02 (I believe it is BUS1001006)
2. How can i ensure that the proper workflows in this transcation are started through some
customisation, enhencement or user-exit.
Regards.

I think you have to maintain the Workflow Template as General Task and then only it will appear in the GOS.
Thanks

Starting Workflow from Generic Object Services in IQS1 Transaction

Hi All,
My requirement is users will create the notification through IQS1 and they will attach the Adobe document through Generic Object service. In the notification Task, they will assign the repsonsible person for that form. Once they released the notification, i need to send a mail to the responsible person. I got the BO (BUS7051) . I created the custom WF and acitivated the BO & WF link. When i selected the Workflow Overview in the Generic Object Serivce, it is saying 'There are no workflows that have already worked with this object'. But when i checked the is worklow log in SWIA, my workflow got triggered.
I would like to know why it was not showing when i selected the same in Generic Object Serivce. How to trigger Workflow throuhg Generic Object Service.
Any info relevant to this, please share with me..

Hi,
For generic object services to find the workflow, the object must be attached to the workitem/workflow or used in the container.
If the object is correctly used in the workflow, it will be visible via GOS.
How did you use the object in the workflow?

How to trigger a workflow using generic object services?

Hi Experts,
Let me know on how to trigger a workflow using generic object services.
My requirement is to trigger the FI document reversal document using Object services.
Any info or docs relevant to this, please share with me..
Thanks,
Dinesh.

Dinesh,
First of you need to check if the transaction has a BO (in released status) published to use the GOS.
These are the pre-requisites for GOS
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/94/aa532cddd511d289860000e8216438/content.htm
Once done.. check that you have valid workflow linkages active for this BO.
Now when you click on the 'start workflow' the system will show all relevant workflows for the BO to choose from and to start.

Attach doc from external content server- using Generic Object Service (GOS)

Dear All,
i have intergrated an external content server to SAP using SAP archive link. All the scanned document are there in Content server and corresponding entries are done in SAP.I can search and view document using tcode : OAAD
Please tell me steps for "how to attach a document from external content server using Generic Object Service "
Scenario is : For example when we change any Master records or create a new PO, or do some financial transaction then i need to attach the supporting document which is there in my content server connected to SAP.how do we manual attach a Document in SAP using GOS.
Do we need to do some special configuration to use GOS .please give the steps from initial.
Thanks
sandeep

Hello,
Check your configuration of document type assignement to required business document - object type, Archivelink table, content repository in OAC3 transaction.
Goto respective business document > Click on GOS > Create > Store business document - Here you can see defined document type with desctiption. Double click on this the assign your document to this business document. Save it.
This will help in attaching the document to your required business document.
To verify you can check the archivelink table or by transaction OAAD.
Hope this will help you.

Ajay

Generic object services - Object services toolbox not visible in ECC 6

We recently upgraded from SAP 4.6 C to ECC 6 and are encountering problems in the generic object services in Plant maintenance.
We use this feature extensively in SAP 4.6 C to attach URL links, documents etc.
In ECC6 , In Transaction IL02, IE02, IW32 when i click on the services for object, i don't find the object services toolbox through which you can attach the documents, links etc. It surprisingly disappears. Instead of that we get a toolbar to "AddFileNetImage", ViewFileNetImage, DeleteFileNetImage.
Can this feature be added back to the screen? How is this done? kindly help.

Thanks Deepak,
But I thought the described methdology in the PDF pointed by the URL is for how to do it for any custom business object type, will it be useful for the SAP standard business object as well like BUS2093. When I try to edit an already created SAP object, it starts asking for an access key.

Connect a Word document instance to Generic Object Services/BDS

Hello all,
how can I manage to get a word document created via the Doc_template step to a certain Business Object (like Business Partner). I tried to trace that but I got lost in generations of codes like archivelink, sap office, knowledge provider etc.) I guess it should not be that difficult as I have the key of the word doc instance and the key of the business partner instance. What I want at last is to have that word document linked via attachments/linked objects or something similar....
Kindest regards from Germany,
Markus

Markus,
Welcome to the forum!
I have done this sometime ago at a past client site and will see if I can find the code.
If I remember correctly, this involves converting the attachment to an SOFM object (using method CREATESOFM of BO WF_DOC) and then using function module BINARY_RELATION_CREATE to attach it to the BO. The links below will give you more info. Also Google for BINARY_RELATION_CREATE which should give you more links.

Instead of copyg the std fm to z, do the following,
1. Go to se37 open FM VIEW_KURGV in display mode.
2. Click on the spiral icon on the top.
3. Then in menu go edit->enhancment options -> show implicit enhancement
4. """""""""""""""""""""" kind of lines will appear in the cde, just rt click on the line at the place u want to insert the code and select
enhancement implementation create.
5. Give apropriate name for thi , it will inset a n place to write your code.
This is an std sap methodology and is supported in upgradde also.

Attach Documents to Custom Program Using Generic Object Services

Hi There,
         I created Object type ZGOS and used in the custom program, when i try to attach documents it allows and then shows in attachment list.
        But When I use that program next time that document attached is not available.
Is there any separate save Class or FM available for saving the document to the specified custom program.
I am using following code in the program,
CLEAR obj.
SET OBJECT TYPE TO 'ZGOS'
obj-objtype = objtype.
SET OBJECT KEY = REPORT NAME
SELECT SINGLE name
FROM trdir
INTO obj-objkey
WHERE name = sy-repid.
CALL GOS MANAGER WITHOUT CONTAINER (WILL BE DISPLAYED IN THE TOOLBAR)
CREATE OBJECT manager
    EXPORTING
      is_object = obj
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS    = 1.
Thanks in advance.

Display and Manage Attachments of Generic Object Services in Webdynpro

Hi All,
I need to have a button in the webdynpro that when a user clicks it will pop up a table that display a list of files already attached to a Generic Object Services(GOS) and also allow the user to delete the attachments and upload new attachments.
Can anyone advice me of any Function Modules or Methods that i can use to achieve those functions (retrive and display attachments in the GOS, delete existing attachment from GOS, upload new attachment to GOS).
Thanks and Regards,

Events available in Generic Object Services (GOS)?

Hello everybody
Searched around in SDN and also tried to find something useful in our system (SWO1) but can't find useful information on GOS events so I guess it probably doesn't exist?
I'm searching a way to catch GOS events when someone adds, changes or deletes an attachment (URL) in the generic object services of an object, e.g. for a material master (BUS1001006). I'd like to create a change document for this and based on that to trigger some further processing for one of our interfaces.
Anybody out there knowing how to achieve this?
TIA and best regards,
Renaud

There's a couple of BaDIs with GOS names such as GOS_SRV_REQUEST that might help. Otherwise I'd try using SE30 with lots of logging options set on to trace where you may be able to grab this info from. GOS subscriptions may be another thing to look at.

Hello Ashish,
i dont think activating of GOS will solve ur probs..... GOS wont create a WF item ...... try to get some kind of GOS before u do anything in SAP systems.
u can do like this ......
1 create custom screen where u can enter asset details and store in custom tables....and generate one custom doc.number to track.
2. trigger WF when user submits it for approvals.
3.Upon final approvals.--->run BDC to do postings......
4.Give a Option to attach documents to the parking documents. ( that GOS ).

Attachment List in Generic Object Services disabled

I want to attach documents to a work centre (transaction CR02, business object BUS0011). This has been configured so that the document will reside in the content management server and will be accessed using Archivelink. I can successfully store the doc using trasnaction OAWD, and can then retrieve the doc using transaction OAOR. The links are correctly created in table TOA03.
However, when I try and view the docs from the Generic object services button for transaction CR02 the "Attachment List" link is greyed out.
I've just set this up for invoices (object BKPF) so can't understand why this hasn't worked for work centres.
I've implemented the interface IFARCH21 for BUS0011, and this hasn't resolved the issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Richard

Richard,
Your using the wrong object, I don't have access to an SAP system right now, so I can't tell you what the correct object is, but when it's configured correctly in OAC3 it will not be grey out. Best thing to do it see what the object the program is publishing. This is what GOS is looking for. IFARCH21 is not the answer, unless your using workflow
