Webdynpro abap to workflow attachments

Hi gurus,
I have opened same meaasge in workflow forum also since I was not sure which will be more helpful.
I added the attachment to workflow using the following code from my webdynpro abap application:
DATA: lv_xstring TYPE xstring,
        att_id TYPE swr_att_id,
        ls_msg_ln TYPE TABLE OF swr_messag,
        ls_msg_str TYPE TABLE OF swr_mstruc,
        lv_objkey TYPE swr_att_doc_id,
         ls_header             TYPE swr_att_header.
lv_xstring = lv_file.
ls_header-file_type      = 'B'.
ls_header-file_name      = 'Attachment'.
ls_header-language       = sy-langu.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD'
    EXPORTING
      workitem_id          = lv_wi_id
      att_header           = ls_header
     att_bin              = lv_xstring
     do_commit            = 'X'
   IMPORTING
     return_code          = rc
     att_id               = att_id
TABLES
   message_lines        = ls_msg_ln
   message_struct       = ls_msg_str .
I see the attachments in the workitem but am unable to open the attachment.
Another question is how can I show the same documents in another webdynpro application as attachments.
Thanks,
ST

used the standard webdynpro component WDK_POWL_WF_DETAIL and it has whatever was needed for attachments.
Thanks,
St

Hello,
Try specifying file_extension = 'DOC' like in this thread (see Pavan's code about halfway down) :

Hyperlink to launch webdynpro abap from workflow

Hi Guys,
We have developed WORKFLOW where we need to send HYPERLINK along with WORKITEM to the AGENTS.
When ever the user(AGENT) clicks on the HYPERLINK we need to launch our WEBDYNPRO ABAP APPLIOCATION.
Please guide me to achieve this scenario.
Thanks&regards,
Harsha P

Hi
I think you have to check the below points as Karri has suggested you some good points, and still if you face some issues then
1. Make sure you have made the workitem ID as URL parameters.
2. You should be able to access the URL parameters from Default method of the Window.
3. Make sure the URL that you are generating is correct , by looking at URL I felt like some thing is missing, like if you have observed the url of any webdynpro applicaiotn it may be some thing like
https://<domain>.50000/sap/bc/webdynpro/.... and this is purely my guess so make sure th URL you are populating is correct.
@Rick
Why do you keep saying "kemp" when the sign-off is "Karri"?
May be you should concentrate on suggesting some thing useful regarding thread issue, rather than how the others signature is or suggesting something how to call or address the other forum participants. Its just a suggestion....
Don't mind its just a friendly advise.
Regards
Pavan

Attach Interactive Forum to Workflow from a Webdynpro ABAP application

I have a webdynpro ABAP application which has an Interactive form. After the user enters the form and clicks on 'Submit', I trigger a workflow for Approval. My requirement is to add this same form as an attachment to the workflow. I know I can do this by adding the Fileupload UI element and letting the user browse to the file after saving it. But I want to attach it directly without the user having to save the form to Desktop first.
I tried passing the pdf_source(XSTRING) to the container and it does attaches a pdf to the workflow but when I open it, the form is blank and user entered values are missing.
Please respond only if you know the solution and don't send me links to other forums on SDN, I have read them all.

sharing the solution always helps some or the other person seeking similar answers to their problems. It would be good to share your solution in this open community. It helps.

Launching webdynpro ABAP application from workflow task (without UWL)

Hello,
How can i start webdynpro ABAP application from workflow without portal?
Workflow and webdynpro ABAP are located on the same system.
I assume it must be possible without transaction SWFVISU.
thanks

First you need to define a external service then you have to generate a task from this external service and then you need to include this task id in you workflow for a ACTIVITY step then this step can be either background or can be assigned to any agent

WebDynpro ABAP vs WebDynpro JAVA for Adobe forms--PCRs--MSS

Hi Experts,
This might be a generic question :
I am modifying PCRs (MSS 1.0,EP 7,ECC 6.0) and now I have come to a point where I need to decide if I have to use Webdynpro JAVA or Webdynpro ABAP for modifying Adobe interactive forms which come with MSS 1.0 out of the box from SAP.
What does SAP suggest??
What do you suggest??
Quick answers appreciated

Hi Aditi,
Thanx for your suggestion but let me just detail what Iam looking for;
I will have to develop a custom PCR for Hire/Rehire (no workflow -- weird right),
now if I develop Adobe forms for this, my question is how am I going to bind these forms to the scenario (QISRSCENARIO).
Whatever is entered in this form is not going through workflow but is going to be directly updated in the database when the manager says SUBMIT.
Usually the HR developer goes to the scenario and selects input by Adobe form and clicks <b>generate</b>, but now if I develop the form using Webdynpro JAVA how am I going to integrate the generated form to that particular scenario.
Sorry if Iam not clear enough, but I really need help in this regard.
Thank you

UWL Integration with Webdynpro ABAP

Hello,
I am creating a Webdynpro ABAP Application in which I want to create a screen(form) with various Input fields which will be entered by the user and it will have a Submit button.
On the click of the Submit button I want to trigger a Workflow and send a workitem to the Approver. The Approver will be determined by the creator by selecting from a DropDown which will have the list of all the Approvers. How can I integrate this with UWL so that the Approver can logon to the Portal to Approve /Reject the workitem.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

you need to create the task entry in uwl xml file for your workflow task to call for an application.
you can check performance management worklfow ws12300122 that has task 12300110.
to execute a webdynpro abap application for task 12300110 below xml content in uwl configuration is required.

Webdynpro ABAP Travel and Expenses

Hi All,
         I have configured Webdynpro ABAP Travel and Expenses with ESS 1.41. I am able to submit an expense request and view the PDF form when I click on the Display form in the request. I am using the standard worklfow WS20000040 for trip approval. When I submit a trip it comes back to the employee for for the trip consistent check. In this step when I click on the "Display Form" button I am getting the error "Value null of URL parameter SAP_FITV_PERSNO has the wrong type".
I followed the steps mentioned in the migration guide attached to the note 1076144 and I have uploaded the XML file provided for EHP4 in the portal.
XML
===
    <Action name="com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra.action.DisplayExpenseForm" groupAction="" handler="SAPWebDynproABAPLauncher" referenceBundle="com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra.DisplayForm" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="toolbar=no,menubar=no">
      <Properties>
        <Property name="WebDynproApplication" value="FITV_TRIP_FORM"/>
        <Property name="SAP_FITV_TRIPCMP" value=""/>

        <Property name="SAP_FITV_PERSNO" value="${item.EmployeeNumber}"/>
      </Properties>
    </Action>
But if I hard code the TRIP number and Personnel number the PDF forms opens correctly.

The bindings in the workflow are correct, I am not sure why the values are not being passed from the UWL to the FITV_TRIP_FORM application.
If you have encountered this issue, can you please let me know how you fixed this.
Thanks,
Anand

Hello krupanand,
We are also facing the same issue.
But still we are facing the issue. we have implimented the note 1076144 but not 1239932.
Is it mandatory to impliment the second note.
The reason we didnt impliment note 1239932 is that, we are not using FITV_POWL_TRIPS application.
we are using the UWL iview for travel workitems
Kindly help in sorting this issue.
BR,
Harthi

Open Webdynpro ABAP application from UWL

Hello Experts,
The requirement is we need to open the Custom Webdynpro ABAP application when the user clicks on the UWL tasks instead of ITS based screen.
We have created a custom workflow task. Then we maintained the task entry with Webdynpro ABAP application name in SWFVISU transaction.
After re-registering the UWL connector in Portal I could not find the Task ID in UWL definition. In UWL the task item is visible but could not open the task because the UWL could not identify the task no for this.
Am I missing something in the above steps?
Kindly help.
Kind Regards,
Nirmal Sivakumar G

Start both Webdynpro JAVA and WebDynpro ABAP from UWL

Hi all:
We are facing a situation. We need to start both JAVA dynpro and ABAP dynpro applicaiton from uwl. The JAVA dynpro application is the ESS absense request. And we also developed other workflow which use ABAP dynpro as work item . The problem is when we regist our ECC system to UWL, the system can only provide WAS java information or WAS ABAP. So there are alway one type of our work items can't start correctlly. How can I modify the UWL configuration to meet our requirement?
Anyone knows please notify, thank you very much!
Wayne

Hi,
when you try to register backend system , you will choose system alias which was already existing in the portal which has WAS hostname and port.
that is sufficient. Based on visualzation parameters , you can launch webdynpro abap/java tasks.
check below article
