Use Multiline Container Element in User Decision

Hi Gurus,
I have a Multiline Container in my User Decision Task. I am able to pull the data in a Standard Text to the Multi Line Container Element if type RSTXT-TXLINE. But how do I display the total data in all the lines in that element to the User Decision Workitem Text.
Thanx & regards,
Kan

You cannot insert all the table entries in the Decision step workitem Text. it wont allow you to display, one of the possible ways to fix it is please check this [blog|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3417500)ID1574174750DB11406479040085832269End?blog=/pub/wlg/15666]

Using Multiline Container element in sending mail

Hi,
I am sending mail with Multiline Container element APTEXT.
I put &APTEXT##& Is this right ?
But when I have 2 lines of data, its sending mail with only one line.
Thanks

It is my personal observation that if the line size is more than 132 charecters then it will display like that.
So do like this
1. First make the row size as 125.
2. and when you are selecting the multiline container element in the mail content, then it will ask you 3 options selct the option Print line by line then check the mail.
It worked in my case.

Need 2 Multiline elements for user decision step

We are on SAP R/3 Enterprise version.
I have this requirement to find agents based on the agent type and work center field. So I created a responsibility rule for each type of agent type. The responsibility rule is keyed on the work center, and HR positions are mapped to each responsibility rules work center field.
We have 50 agent types/responsibility rules, 60 work centers, and 1 or more positions for each agent type and work center combinations. Due to the total number of positions, I prefer to use 1 responsibility rule per agent type for ease of maintenance.
I have a FM that reads the responsibility rule based on the agent type and work center field and retrieve the agent_list. I used this FM/method/step prior to my user decision step and pass the agent_list to the UD step via container.
In my user decision step, the Other tab does not have Multiline element for me to enter my agent_list. So I cannot use &agent_list[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]& in my user decision agent assignment expression field.
In my last job, we have SAP ECC 5.0, the UD step has a Misc tab that has Multiline element, but our current SAP R/3 Enterprise version does not have Misc tab, it only has Other tab.
Question:
1. How do I use [&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&] without Multiline element for agent_list in UD step?
2. I have to use the same way to retrieve my LED_agent_list as well, so I need 2 Multiline elements in my UD step. But normally in Other tab, it allows you to define only 1 Multiline element. How do I get around this restriction?
3. My last resort is to use 1 responsibility rule, then I can use the rule in the agent assignment. If that is the case, is there any limit on the number of entries in the rule?
Thanks.

Sorry, I posted to the wrong forum.

Mail not send to multiple users even Multiline container element has value

Hi,
I have collected the AGENTS to send mail notification in a multiline container element using a background step. The method collect the agent and return in to a container. I use this container in the following mail step using expression. The type id is 'G'. The mail step fails .The address string is filled also with agents.
Please guide me if u have come across this situation early.
Regards,
Richard A

I think if you are passing SAP User Id then the SAP User Id should be concatenated with US in the front.
If this is maintained in the container element and if still send mail is failing then it might be that one of the USER Id does not exist in the system.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Multiline container element in workflow

Dear all,
I am using a multiline container element in workflow container. Can anybody suggest how I can see the values of that element? After workflow execution is COMPLETED and I go to SWI1, it shows only simple elements. It doesn't show any of my multiline elements.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Pranav.

Hi Pranav,
It does work in 6.20. I am not sure about 4.6C.
Display Technical Details from the Workflow log for your WF instance. You can examine the Container values for each of the steps. See if the values show up (are you certain your multiline container has been populated?). If you are populating the multiline container from an object method, verify by testing your object method that the parameter are correctly defined and it is getting populated.

Output of multiline container element in email not working

I'm trying to display a multiline container element in an e-mail from workflow. The element container contains 2 lines. I can see these have been populated in the log in SWIA. However, when using &ITAB##& to output these lines nothing is diplayed. I've also tried &ITAB[]& and &ITAB& all of which return no lines in the e-mail.
Does anyone know if this is something I'm doing wrong or is there an error in R/3. I'm on release 4.6c.
Thanks
Karen

This is getting annoying. This was sednging e-mails and printing the table in the e-mail fine. Then I had to add more fields to the table ITAB. After this the table wasn't showing again in the e-mail. I recreated the workflow, tasks and even the BOM, but still nothing.
As before I can see the ITAB entries in the details of the e-mail task. But, they don't get written into the e-mail even though I'm selecting &ITAB##& from the Expressions section to put into the e-mail.
Is there anything I haven't tried. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is this a SAP problem that can be fixed with a note. I've had a look, but can't find anything about it.
Thanks
Karen

Workflows : Multiline Container Element problem.

Hi,
I got a new problem. Well I got a requirement to collect COMMENTS from MULTI-LEVEL Supervisors and display them in the work item preview. So in these regards, I had declared a Multiline Container element in my Workflow and passed it to some method to get the comments. Well I had succeeded till this point. But there is a problem when I tried to display them in WORKITEM.
Well, all the lines are getting displayed continously in the Work Item preview.
Is there any solution for this ?
Like I want to display the Multiline Container element line wise. Not as a concatenated single line which is happening right now.
In the Work Item Text part I used it as ...
Comments from Supervisor : &COMMENTS&
This is FYI...
Please help me.
Regards,
Raja Sekhar.

Hi Vinod,
Well, I tried including the MULTI LINE Element in a Mail step. It gave me all the three options of printing.
First one is...
Only first line of Container element can be printed using
&COMMENT&
Second one is...
All the lines of Container element can be printed in a single line as &COMMENT[]&
Third one is...
All the lines of Container element can be printed in seperate lines as &COMMENT##&
I used the third one. It worked even the same in Work Item also.

Raja Sekhar

Dynamic parallel processing using a multiline container element

Hi All ,
I just wanted to how things work when we use "Dynamic parallel processing" for a decision step . I came across a situation wherein a Rule gets the approving user(s) and the work item should be sent to all those users . After getting an approval from all the users , the workflow should proceed or else it should terminate .
I was just wondering whether "Dynamic parallel processing" will do this job or not . I had also thought of using forks but as the number of approvers are decided at runtime , i dont think it is possible .
Any inputs ?
Edit : We are working on CRM 5.0
Thanks ,
Shounak M.

Hi Shounak,
Just do as Mike says:
use the multiline element for a subflow.
The subflow consists of your user decision, if someone rejects it, remember it (could be done by updating a small table using a method, or use an event, or what mike suggested, updating appending a table )
In the top flow, after the multiline element step determine if someone rejected it (wait for event, or reading the table).
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Container variables in User decision Step in BPM

Hello,
I am using User decision Step in BPM.
When i use only text in "Title for Display" the BPM is activated successfully and Status in SXI_CACHE also shows 0.
If I use container variables in "Title for Display" the BPM is activated successfully but status in SXI_CACHE shows 99.
It shows the below error
"Problem updating an integration process with object ID 073AF2C620F43E839B2903344DEE29BB. Symbol 'CE/KO' expected at position 1 in expression ''
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Shabari

Hi Shabari, did you follow the steps for declaration of variables as in [SAP help for user decisions|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/42/c2a19fb4511d65e10000000a1553f6/content.htm]? How did you define your variable?
Maybe discussion [in this thread|BPM activation Error in SXI_cache; can help, it is unanswered though.

BPM: How to return the total number of lines in Multiline Container Element

Hi all:
I am trying to follow the following blog to do message splitting:
/people/narendra.jain/blog/2005/12/30/various-multi-mappings-and-optimizing-their-implementation-in-integration-processes-bpm-in-xi
In the blog, total number of messages for Message1 was returned to Count in Message 2.
If I do not want to create message 2, if there any way to return total number lines in multiline elements ? Because this number need to be used to specify in loop condition:
While Indxe != TotalNumberOfLines
Thanks
Liang

Hi, Matias:
For the loop block option, your answer is passing message count in different message type is best option !
I really do not know why SAP does not deliver a build-in function to return the number of items in multiline element at run time ?
Now the question for the second option: ForEach block:
When I leave current line of block properties empty, the compile does not pass
I have to input a another element (Var_Cur) in current line
Inside my block, I have one send step, it will send Var_Dest[Index], followed by a container operation step to increment Index by 1.
With above setup, I compile it, compile passed, but it says:
"Container Element Var_Cur in Step Block1 is initialized but not used"
then I added another containter operation step in block:
Var_Cur = Var_Dest[Index]
I modified send step to send Var_Cur rather than Var_Dest.
Up to now, I can compile it without any warnings.
But when I send message to IE, the message pass pipe line, but it seems does not pass the BPE.
When I go to SXI_CACHE, to check the return code for my Integration process is 0, means no error.
But my message does not reach my target system.
Where do you think I made wrong ?
Thanks
Liang

Problem using multiline container in Alert Category

Hello, experts!
Could you please suggest me how to solve the following issue.
I have userdefined multiline container MY_CONTAINER with two elements FIELD (stores name of field) and VALUE (stores value of field). This container is filled in runtime by means of BADI extension. So in transaction ALRTDISP filled container looks like:
MY_CONTAINER
 MY_CONTAINER[1]
 FIELD SystemCode
 VALUE 42
 MY_CONTAINER[2]
 FIELD Key
 VALUE 0292383728232
 MY_CONTAINER[3]
 FIELD State
 VALUE 1
 ...and so on. Number of filled elements of container is unknown.
I need to add the contents of this container to Long text of Alert Category in form of:
 SystemCode: 42
 Key: 0292383728232
 State: 1
...and so on.
I added MY_CONTAINER on the Containers tab of my alert category. And in Long text included the following expression:
 &MY_CONTAINER[].FIELD[]&: &MY_CONTAINER[].VALUE[]&.
But in long text it looks like:
 SystemCode Key State ...: 42 0292383728232 1 ...
If the expression is like
 &MY_CONTAINER[].FIELD& - &MY_CONTAINER[].VALUE&
then long text contains only the first element:
 SystemCode: 42.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
I think I need to use expressions (something like FOR-loop) for filling Long Text in Alert Categories. Is it possible?
BR,
Vika

Hi Experts,
still trying to work out but couldn't understand the behaviour.
If the Long text :
Error: &SXMS_ERROR_CODE& of category &SXMS_ERROR_CAT& was found in a message &SXMS_MSG_GUID& from the service &SXMS_FROM_SERVICE& and Interface &SXMS_FROM_INTERFACE&
to test I am running the program RSALERTTEST
Msg got thru E-mail is 
Error: and category: &SXMS_ERROR_CAT& was found in a message from the service and Interface

And when I change the Long text
Error: &SXMS_ERROR_CODE& and &SXMS_ERROR_CAT& was found in a message &SXMS_MSG_GUID& from the service &SXMS_FROM_SERVICE& and Interface &SXMS_FROM_INTERFACE&
After running the program RSALERTTEST

E-mail msg
Error: and was found in a message from the service and Interface &SXMS_FROM_INTERFACE&
coudn't able to understand why it is displaying the container variable as is in the mail.
checked all the Alert Framework configuration, Everything looks good.
Thank you,
MK

Urgent - How to pass value to Multiline container element in workflow

Hi,
I hav a requirement as below...
1) In a Bus. Object, there is a method with a parameter which is Multiline.
2) When I execute it directly from Bus. Object, I am able to populate any no. of lines to the multiline parameter & execute it. It is working correctly.
3) Now I have created a task for the same Method & used it in my workflow.
4) I want to pass multiline values to the parameter from workflow.
5) I dont have any internal table being filled in the previous steps. I directly want to assign variables or constants to it.
How can I do it????
Thanks,
Sivagami

hi sivagami,
Please help me.

Workflow: check multiline container element for emptiness

Hi!
Please suggest how to check multiline workflow-container element for emptiness in condition block.
Regards,
Maxim.

Hi Max,
One way to do this is to add a process step which calls a function module passing the multiline container as the import parameter. In this function mod, you can check for emptiness and set a variable which will be the export parameter. Map this export parameter of the step to a workflow container field. Finally in the next step (control block) you can check the above workflow field.

Using Standard Container elements as Method Parameters

Hi
Seems that Methods doesnt accept standard Container Elements like '_WI_Result' etc as importing parameters.How to access such elements this within method/secondary methods?
Regards
Imman

Hi,
Usually the WIRESULT is an exporting parameter of a workitem that has a result parameter in the Object Method. When you finish the processing of that specific workitem you can capture the value of the WIRESULT.
For this you will have to:
1. Create a workflow container of the type WIRESULT.
2. In the binding of the method which has the result parameter define the binding from the task container to the workflow container. This is usually the second part in the binding screen. The first part is the binding from the workflow to the task and then the second which is below the first is the binding from the task to the workflow.
You can then acccess the parameter in the workflow.
Hope this helps,
Sudhi
