Trigger MDM Workflow in Webdynpro

Hello,
I want to execute a MDM Workflow from Webdynpro using Java API's. I have the WorkflowId,session Id and the RecordId in the Webdynpro. Can somebody please send the code for the same.?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Check the pdf at the below link.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/600333e0-9bf7-2c10-1f99-bf5dcf661949?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
Try using this code for calling MDM workflow:
RetrieveWorkflowTasksCommand task_command = new RetrieveWorkflowTasksCommand(connections);
task_command.setSession(sessionId);
task_command.setTableId(new TableId(1));
try {
task_command.execute();
} catch (Exception e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
//Retrieving the tasks after execting the command
WorkflowTask [] task = task_command.getWorkflowTasks();
for(int i = 0 ; i < task.length ; i++)
WorkflowJob job = task.getJob();
job_id= job.getId();
System.out.println(job_id.getIdValue());//This is will give the Job ID of all the workflows in MDM.
Thanks

Trigger MDM workflow from Webdynpro Java

Hi All,
After updating records in MDM, I want to trigger an MDM workflow from Webdynpro Java and pass those updated records to workflow. Any inputs on how to accomplish this. Workflow has already been developed using MSVISIO by the MDM team.
Thanks,
Tom

By following steps, it is possible to integrate workflow (or any workflow designed in MDM) within portal:
1. UWL (Universal Worklist): The UWL gives users unified and centralized way to access their work and the relevant
information in the portal. It collects tasks and notifications from multiple provider systems. One can expose MDM
workflow functionality on Portal using UWL.
2. JAVA APIu2019s: MDM Java API consists of set of classes related to MDM workflows through which one can create an
application that provide the MDM workflow functionality and expose the application as an iView in the portal.

Hi,
I am using MDM java API (Version: 5.5 SP 06 Patch 2) for webdynpro. I am creating a record in MDM using MDM java API. Once the record gets created in MDM i need to call the MDM workflow. Is there any java API available to call the MDM workflow into webdynpro. If that is not possible, what is the alternative to call the MDM workflow into webdynpro.
Kindly suggest.

Trigger MDM Workflow Using MDM ABAP API

Hi ,
I have requriment to trigger MDM Workflow from ABAP , Please suggest how to do it ?'
Thanks in Advance.
Shyam.

Hi,
Are you creating material in MDM using Data Manager or Portal. or Using ABAP API.
If your workflow trigger Action is "Record Create" then it should trigger workflow as soon as new material is created. I don't see any problem in this.

How to work with a workflow in Webdynpro

Hi Team,
       I am new to webdynpro ABAP, i have a scenario
I have a work flow id with me, i want to start this workflow from a webdynpro application,
1. wedynpro application contains a list of inputs and user1 inputs this data that i have stored node, So node contains full data.
2. Now i have a workflow id, i want to pass this node data to this workflow on a button click
    I have the button action, what code is required to pass this?
         (I sow few FMs in fourms but i dont know how exactly i can use it)
3. When the approver gets the workitem, he should be able to approve,reject or send backToAuthor option he will get
     how to read this data back to approver screen for the approver to take correct action ?
Please help me with some code sample, i sow few things but i am not sure about the parameters which required for this.
Thanks,
   PP

Hi,
1) In order to trigger the workflow from webdynpro and pass the list of inputs and your workitem id , i will suggest you to go for    a   business object.
2) If you have a business object than you can just trigger the workflow through the event (provided your workflow should be an event trigger workflow). As well as you can pass your parameters through it.
3) In order to trigger the workflow through your business object event u can use the following function module.
in the below code:-
it_container- contains the parameter u want to pass like workitem id in your case.
ZPOC_LEAVE- is my business object.
OPTIONAL- is my event which will trigger the workflow.
ty_object_key:- structure type of key fields of business object.
Note:-you have to define these values as per your business object.
* Trigger the event ZPOC_leave-CREATE to start the workflow
DATA: it_container TYPE TABLE OF swr_cont,
             is_container LIKE LINE OF it_container.
DATA: g_return_code TYPE sy-subrc,
             glf_event_id TYPE swr_struct-event_id.
DATA : ls_objkey TYPE ty_objkey.
DATA : ls_objtype TYPE swr_struct-object_typ VALUE 'ZPOC_LEAVE'.
DATA : ls_objectkey TYPE swr_struct-object_key.
DATA : ls_event TYPE swr_struct-event VALUE 'OPTIONAL'.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT'
    EXPORTING
      object_type             = ls_objtype
      object_key              = ls_objectkey
      event                   = ls_event
      commit_work             = 'X'
      event_language          = sy-langu
      language                = sy-langu
      user                    = sy-uname
*   IFS_XML_CONTAINER       =
   IMPORTING
     return_code             = g_return_code
     event_id                = glf_event_id
   TABLES
     input_container         = it_container
*   MESSAGE_LINES           =
*   MESSAGE_STRUCT          =
4) You also need to define the parameter(workitem id in your case) under the parameter option of your event in your business object. (you can use the transaction SWO1 for business objects).
5) Now in swdd transaction in the basic data u can mention your start event.
This should be enough to trigger your workflow and pass your workitem id to it.
Thanks and regards,

How to integrate SAP HR Workflows with Webdynpro ?

Hello All,
Could you please drop some hints for the below points please ?
How do we trigger SAP workflow from Webdynpro DC? Usually if its a RFC we import RFC through Model and trigger the RFC. Can that be done only through Adobe forms? If yes,how do we trigger work flow through Adobe Forms?
Many Thanks,
Dhanya

Hi, Dhanya
Of course via RFC! Usually these workflow related RFMs are called WAPI
(Workflow API).
Please refer to this thread.
Workflow and Trigger Event
And Adobe forms is not relevant to SAP workflow at all. Usually, Adobe forms
+ workflow scenarios are achieved via the above workflow APIs.
Best Regards.

How to Trigger a Workflow from ABAP Webdynpro

Hi All Gurus,
I have the following urgent requirement, my client is implementing HR and there is a requirement, where is a ABAP Webdynpro component in which we have integrated a Adobe Interactive Form. When the user calls this from through Portal and fills out the relevant data and submits it, a Workflow in the backend ECC system should lauch,
I am not familiar with, this concept although I have worked in Workflow this is the first time I am interfacind with ABAP Webdynpro and Adobe Interactive From.
Can you please let me know in steps what needs to be done to make the workflow trigger for my scenario and also the specific settings to be done in the bacckend.
Regards,
Pratima Jain

Hi,
If you are using HCM Processes and Forms, the Workflow and form are not directly related, thats true.
But the method in the task calls the corresponding webdynpro application which responds to the action triggered by the user in turn to trigger the workflow and update the data in the HR Master Data.
There are 3 layers 1. UI (webdynpro which launches Adobe Interactive form based on ISR Framework)
2. Workflow
3. Backend framework (used for retrieving F4 helps, default values, save data in the infotypes).
for more documentation, please refer it on help.sap.com.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/82/b6b94278560c31e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
hope this helps.

Trigger a workflow from ABAP Webdynpro

My Scenario:
Step 1: When a user hits the SAVE button on the webdynpro form, check if that data is consistent only and trigger a message(I have a BAPI to handle this check).
Step 2: If the data is consistent, then trigger a workflow to send an alert to an agent along with the data user entered on the form.
Step 3: AGENT shall review the data(Same form from step 1 should appear here) and will have the option to SUBMIT / POST or REJECT. If SUBMITTED, data will be posted to R/3(I have a 2nd BAPI to handle this). If REJECTED, send an alert back to the USER who entered data in step 1.
I checked lots of threads from the forum, none gave me a complete idea. Can any one give me a good documentation to trigger workflow from webdynpro to handle my requirement.
I am new to webdynpro.
I checked this blogs & articles also...

Thanks a lot in advance.
Best Regards,
Kiran

Hello Kiran,
I slightly misunderstood you requirement earlier. But if I am not wrong this time, here is what you need to do:
1) The Web dynpro form that you are creating is only for data entry purpose. But the agent who is going to review the data will need an access to this form. So this means that you need to save the content of this form to the database and provide a URL in the workflow workitem which the agent can use to open the web dynpro application with the form data on it.
2) To access the correct form, you need to save the form data in a Z-table with a GUID attached to it. Generate this GUID using GUID_CREATE function module. In the window controller of the Web dynpro component, there will be a handleDefault method where you can read the parameter'GUID' from the incoming request and use it to read the form data from the database to display the form.
3) You can use Object Oriented programming approach for creating Workflow. Check the following article to learn how to do that:
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0409e6c-d213-2d10-3cb6-c12d417626c1?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]
4) Create a Z-class and use this class as object type in your workflow (instead of BOR object).
5) In the constructor of this class, pass a parameter GUID, which would be passed when you create an object of this class in the Web Dynpro forms "OnActionSave" method.
6) Create a method in this class which will do the task of calling the BAPI to save the Acct Document. This method will be used in a Background task in a workflow step (after the agent approves the workitem).
7) Create a method in the class which generates the URL to the webdynpro application with the GUID passed as parameter.
(for eg: http://urltoserver/appname?GUID='guidoftheform').
8) In your save method of WD application, call the method to raise event that triggers the workflow (using OO)
lv_guid    = '04AE4546EED7101DE10000000A424026'. "use GUID_CREATE
       lv_objtype = 'ZWFCLASS'. " create a Z-class of your own
   TRY.
      CALL METHOD cl_swf_evt_event=>raise
        EXPORTING
          im_objcateg = 'CL'
          im_objtype = lv_objtype
          im_event    = 'FORM_APPROVE' " this event needs to be defined in ZWFCLASS
          im_objkey   = lv_guid.
    CATCH: cx_swf_evt_exception.
ENDTRY.
Please read through the workflow using Object Oriented document in the URL that I have mentioned above before you read through these instructions.
There would be a way to do this using BOR objects, but this is the way that I have tried and tested to use trigger workflows from Web dynpro applications.
Best Regards,
Gaurav

Mdm workflow through sap r/3

hello experts
I have a scenario to trigger a workflow in SAP R/3 from MDM
Objects need to be created in SAP for this
I found this in a pdf file
"A pre-requisite for connecting SAP Business Workflow to MDM is to build a BOR Object which represents the products in MDM. But how does this BOR Object really communicate with MDM?
Using MDM ABAP API Creating an ABAP code which communicates with MDM via MDM ABAP API (available as of MDM 5.5 SP3). Using the ABAP API directly from the Workflow environment simplifies integration between SAP Business Workflow and MDM, but makes integration to other systems more difficult as ABAP is not the greatest environment with regards to openness."
How do I go about it ? Where is this API and how do I use it ?

this is the link to the pdf

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60559952-ff62-2910-49a5-b4fb8e94f167

MDM Workflow and LDAP

Hi Junta,
We are on MDM 5.5 SP5 Patch2. Our MDM server is connected to LDAP for Authentication and Role to User assignment is stored in LDAP.
Problem 1. Check in/ Chek out is not working in the repository. I think this is a known problem and rectified in SP6. Correct me if I am wrong.
Problem2. I have created workflow. I am trying to assign a role to one of the step. This workflow checks out the record and pushes it to steps. When I trigger the workflow on a record, this gives me error saying that, a preluanched job could not be initiated. Is this because of the problem 1.
How does workflow resolves the users from the role to send the tasks to? Does it talk to LDAP and finds the assignments? Or it expects the assignments to be local on MDM repository.
After LDAP connection and restart of the MDM server, I lost all my users in the assignment list when I try to assign the user to the step instead of role. Any comments / solution.
Thanks,
Amber

Hi,
I think your issue is item visibility in Search UI. What can you see in search UI? Can you see Category and Supplier?
If approval is not required, you do not need to create any workflow.
I have done 3 customer projects but none of them use item approval because items are validated by Excel Macro when they get data from supplier.

WORKFLOW IN WEBDYNPRO

Hello Experts ,
how to call / trigger workflow in web dynpro application ? if possible provide some example ?
Thanks ,
Rushikesh

Hi,
Starting a workflow from WebDynpro is no different than starting it from anywhere else.
Best practice is to raise a triggering event for your workflow via the function module SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT (or SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT_EXTENDED for OO events)
good luck
