Table update from workflow

Hi,
I have a requirement to start workflow when table entry or modification is made. And in one has to authorize for the data. then only data should be saved in data base. if manager rejects data should not be saved in data base.
What i have done till now is i have generated a table maintainence and created and new (using business objects )event to raise. (writing a FORM). So when ever we create new table entries event is raised. And i am using this event to trigger my workflow.
I have two problems
first one. this event is only getting trigged if i make entry to table through se11 and create new entries option. if i am using a program to update the table then event is not getting trigged. Is there way i can make this event to trigger even if i insert data to this table from any where?
Second problem
i want to complete my workflow. based on manager decision only database should be commited or rolled back.
if any one needs further details regarding problem reply.
Thanks in advance
Mohan

Hi,
I also think you should use a temporary table where you store the data you want to insert into the database before the approval is done. You create the maintenance view on this temp table and start the workflow from there. Once manager approves the new entry / change, workflow automatically updates the permanent table and deletes the record from the temp one.
You can use the change documents, maintenance view event routines or maintenance view screen logic to trigger the WF. But I`m not aware of any tools to capture a database change done by a direct update, so if you also have programs directly updating the database table, you have to trigger the workflow start event explicitely in those as well.

Table Updation through Workflow

Hi All,
I have a scenario in my project in which a workflow is to be triggered when an entry is made in a table.
Now this workflow has to read some data from some tables and then update some other tables.
My doubt is it possible through workflows to update the tables? If yes is it advisable.Also how will the
updation happen? Should methods for updation will be written in BO methods? Or should a task be called
which does the same.
Please suggest,
Saket.

Hi Saket,
Yes it is possible!
To trigger workflow from table updates you can use table level events. Refer to
Re: WorkFlow when Data is changed in Table or program
Also you can update a table from a workflow. To do this, create an Activity step in workflow. In this, you can call a BO method. This BO method would store the code to update the database table required.
Just take care of the bindings between the method -> task -> workflow container.
Hope this helps!

Saumya

Table update from text file on server

How do I get a table in dreamweaver to update from a text
file thats on the server it will be posted on? Do I need to use
some sort of weird coldfusion or asp.net, or can i do it in basic
html. It would be sweet to make happen for my portfolio news
section ... thanks!

Hello,
What you need is to know the structure (fields) of your internal table LS_BKPF at runtime.
The standard SAP class CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR contains Methods to describe not only repository structures but also variables used in your ABAP program.
DESCRIBE_BY_DATA : Description of data object type
DESCRIBE_BY_NAME : Description of object type using relative/absolute names
DESCRIBE_BY_OBJECT_REF : Description of object type using reference
DESCRIBE_BY_DATA_REF : Description of data object type using reference
Example on how to do this can be found here :
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3414700)ID1687263150DB21033411053326729243End?blog=/pub/wlg/2071|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3414700)ID1687263150DB21033411053326729243End?blog=/pub/wlg/2071]
After you have retrieved the fieldnames of your internal table at runtime you can add them in the first line of your dataset.
Success.

How to set Changed_by field with User ID not by Workflow ID, when Status Update from Workflow

Hi Frds,
I am updating the Order Status from Workflow. So the Status update (or Order Changed) is save with Workflow ID. I need to insert UserID instead of workflow ID. Please help me out of this.
Thanks
Imran

Hi Imran
With the very few details available on your process, the workflow design and the "Order", all I can suggest is that:
1) In your workflow definition, go to the step which sends the user decision, in the binding FROM the TASK TO the Workflow, set _ACTUAL_AGENT to a workflow container element , say DECISION_AGENT (of type SWHACTOR)
2) Assuming that the next step in APPROVAL branch is setting of the status, go the task ID of that Step -> make it a dialog step (remove the Background Processing check) -> set it's agent assignment to general task
3) Back in the workflow, set that STATUS SETTING step to Advance With Dialog under the details tab
4) In the control tab of the same step, in the agents section, set agent as EXPRESSION and the value as &DECISION_AGENT&
When a user approves the decision item, his ID will be stored in DECISION_AGENT
The status set will execute immediately (because of "Advance with Dialog") in the same session of approving as the user who approved is the same running this step now
The status will be set by the ID of the Approver
The above is hypothetical considering
1) You do not have dynamic parallel processing
2) Status setting happens immediately after the approval; as a first step in the approval branch
3) The Decision Task does not has "Confirm End of Processing" checked.

RBKP and BKPF table update from MIRO

Hi All,
I am using the BADI BADI_FDCB_SUBBAS01 to add a custom field in MIRO transaction. The added custom field is getting updated in RBKP transaction.
I also want to update the custom field data in BKPF table, but i dont know when the BKPF table gets updated in MIRO transaction.
Can you help me where the BKPF table will get updated. Is there any BADI for updating the custom fields in table BKPF via MIRO?
Thanks and Regards,
Vijay

Hi Baskar,
I have done this thing from MIRO transaction to update BKPF table. Please check the below code.
METHOD if_ex_badi_fdcb_subbas01~put_data_to_screen_object.
CONSTANTS:
c_bkpf_xref1(25) TYPE c VALUE '(SAPLFDCB)BKPF-XREF1_HD'.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_bkpf_xref1> TYPE ANY.
fill interface attributes from importing paramters
me->if_ex_badi_fdcb_subbas01~invfo = im_invfo.
ASSIGN (c_bkpf_xref1) TO <fs_bkpf_xref1>.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    <fs_bkpf_xref1> = me->if_ex_badi_fdcb_subbas01~invfo-zlet_number.
ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.
METHOD if_ex_badi_fdcb_subbas01~get_data_from_screen_object.
CONSTANTS:
c_bkpf_xref1(25) TYPE c VALUE '(SAPLFDCB)BKPF-XREF1_HD'.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_bkpf_xref1> TYPE ANY.
fill export parameters from interface attributes
ex_invfo = me->if_ex_badi_fdcb_subbas01~invfo.
ASSIGN (c_bkpf_xref1) TO <fs_bkpf_xref1>.
if sy-subrc = 0.
<fs_bkpf_xref1> = ex_invfo-zlet_number.
endif.
ENDMETHOD.
After passing the data through field symbols, then you need to update the BKPF table using the BADI AC_DOCUMENT. Refer the below code.
METHOD if_ex_ac_document~change_after_check.
variable declaration
DATA: lv_let_number TYPE zisr_let_number,
        lv_field TYPE char18 VALUE '(SAPLMRMP)xaccit[]',
        lv_let_field TYPE char27 VALUE '(SAPLMR1M)RBKPV-ZLET_NUMBER'.
Field symbol declaration
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <ft_accit> TYPE accit_t,
                  <fs_accit> TYPE accit,
                  <fv_let_number> TYPE ANY.
Constant declaration
CONSTANTS : lc_miro TYPE sytcode VALUE 'MIRO'.
Check for transaction code MIRO
IF sy-tcode EQ lc_miro.
    ASSIGN (lv_field) TO <ft_accit>.
    CHECK sy-subrc EQ 0.
    ASSIGN (lv_let_field) TO <fv_let_number>.
    CHECK sy-subrc EQ 0.
Assign the letter number to BKPF table field XREF1_HD
    LOOP AT <ft_accit> ASSIGNING <fs_accit>.
      lv_let_number = <fv_let_number>.
      <fs_accit>-xref1_hd = lv_let_number.
    ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.

Table update from T-SQL question

Ok, I have a T-SQL query that I'm trying to convert in Oracle SQL.
Here is the T-SQL:
Update E
Set field1 = 'some text',
field2 = NULL
from table1 E
Left join table2 A
On e.fieldx = a.fieldx
and e.fieldy = a.fieldy
I think I'm close, but I'm not sure about the left join:
Update table1 E
set (field1, field2) = (
select 'sometext', NULL
from table2 A
where a.fieldx = e.fieldx
and a.fieldy = e.fieldy)
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks.

The equivalent to your T-SQL Query would be:
Update table1 E
set (field1, field2) = (
select 'sometext', NULL
from table2 A
where a.fieldx (+) = e.fieldx
and a.fieldy (+) = e.fieldy);
But since you don't do anything with the columns from table A and it is left joined, you can simply write:
Update table1 E
set field1 = 'sometext', field2 = NULL ;

CUA user master table updates from child system

Hi Experts,
In my system although there are roles assigned to users in child system they are not showing up in CUA for few user.
Is there any program in CUA which i can use to update the user master tables for only a limited set of users from child systems.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
Just want to check below queries....if this solves your problem..
Is these are the new systems assigned to CUA or moved from other CUA as you said that role assignment is available in child system but not in CUA ? Another thing that I want you to check the User Group assigned to user in child system and in CUA.If user gorups assigned to users are different in CUA and child system or particular group is missing in any one of the system then idoc will not move. Also check the Output device type along with address data...Any mismatch of these will stop the idoc.
After that run the SCUG for all users, in CUA as suggested by akshay, this you can run for all 10 child system from CUA, no need to go in every child system.....

Hi GURUS,
I need help regarding one of my requirement.
I need to display data from the internal table on the screen and when the user selects a record/multiple records from screen and clicks on approve button i need to update one of the field from N to Y in the corresponding Ztable.

How To Update A Table View From Client Side !!!!

Hi I would like to update a table view from the Client Side. So that the user can keep updating the relevent data on the client and when they have finally finished they can press Save so the entire page is then sent to the Server.
Does anyone know how to do this, I guess u have to use the EPCM, I have just started on it and would really appreciate some Help.
Thanks,
Emmanuel.

This is what I found :-
There are a couple of ways to approach this.
1) load the excel spreadsheet into the database "as is". You can use interMedia
text to convert the .xls file into a .htm file (HTML) or use iFS (see
http://technet.oracle.com/
for
more info on that) to parse it as well. InterMedia text will convert your XLS
spreadsheet into a big HTML table (easy to parse out what you need at that
point)
2) Using OLE automation, a program you write can interact with Excel, request
data from a spreadsheet, and insert it. Oracle Forms is capable of doing this
for example as is other languages environments. In this fashion, you can remove
the "manual" and "sqlldr" parts -- your program can automatically insert the
data.
3) You can write a VB script that uses ODBC or Oracle Objects for OLE (OO4O) in
Excel. This VB script would be able to put selected data from the spreadsheet
into the database. We would recommend OO4O. It provides an In-Process COM
Automation Server that provides a set of COM Automation interfaces/objects for
connecting to Oracle database servers, executing queries and managing the
results. OO4O is available from
http://technet.oracle.com

Calling Batch input from Web Dynpro - any alternatives for table updates?

Hi!
I am asked to create a screen in Web Dynpro for the GJ30 transaction (JV Cutback mapping of WBS' elements). I created a remote enabled function module which call batch input for GJ30 . Testing the Function modules direclty goes fine, but not calling the function module from WD. then I get the same error message as when I once tried to call SAP GUI from Web Dynpro ( Call transaction /submit program).
My next step is to try to create a batch input session (instead of call transaction) and run it using rsbdcsub, and then check the result of the run. But maybe this will fail of the same reason as well, and I suppose this will make the user waiting longer for the response .
I read somewhere that Web Dynpro does not support batch Input. But what can you do when there are no standard BAPI's for the update you want to do in SAP ? We are not supposed to do direct table updates.
Anyone who have struggled with the same issues and found a solution??
regards, Tine

Hi,
as BDC is calling screens and in Webdynpro ABAP you cannot use SAP GUI sceeen, you are getting short dump.

GL Approval Action History from Workflow tables

Hi Anjan,
You can try to set the FND: View Object Max Fetch Size to a value that would allow more data to be returned. However, be aware that this can cause performance issues.
