WorkFlow - Binding / Container Operation

Hi WF Gurus
I am creating a Sale Order Change Start Event & want to collect a field (KNVV-KLABC) i.e. Customer ABC Class of that Sold-to-party of that sales order.
Is it possible through binding or container operation.
please give steps in details.
Max. reward for right ans.

You can do it by automatic binding. The object of SO changing is under the element EvtObject of event container.

Container to Container binding in Workflow binding editor

Hi all,
I have an issue using Container --> Container binding in the Workflow binding editor (transaction SWF_BAM). What I want to do is to be able to extend the data provided by the event (i.e call a BAPI using values supplied) before assigning it to the target structure.
This is what I have done:
- Created an entry in Event Linkage: Application Object to Message Proxy, where the object type is BUS2005 (event RELEASED)
and proxy is a generated proxy.
- In the binding editor, I clicked in the Binding Instruction selection and chose Container --> Container as Binding Instruction.
Now I have created my own class that implements the interface IF_SWF_IFS_BIND_TRANSFORM_CONT, so this class shows up in the drop down list under a section called Enhancement.
- The class I created and implemented the interface, now contains three methods, where Transform is one. I have put a break point in this method and when I trigger the event (transaction SWUE) the debugger stops. So, the call to the method works fine.
My problem is, that I cannot access the values provided by the event (these are supplied in parameter SOURCE_CONTAINER).
Is there anyone who have used this technique and could supply some example code? Is there another technique that I can use to obtain the same result?
Best regards
Patrik Donaldson

Hi to the both of you!
Thanks for you answer. I will try to elaborate.
My scenario is as follows. I want to react on the event CHANGED, of business object BUS2032 (SalesOrder). The information (field values) supplied by the container under EVTOBJECT (in the binding editor) does not fully correspond to what I need to populate in the receiver interface. I would like to send out i.e SalesOrderNumber and PricingProcedure to the receiver interface.
Now, SalesOrderNumber is supplied by the container (_EVT_OBJECT-SalesDocument, as seen in the binding editor), but hte PricingProcedure would have to be looked up in table VBAK using SalesOrderNumber as a key.
Issue 1: How do I get hold of the value of field SalesDocument in my class? (as I mentioned earlier I have created a class which references interface IF_SWF_IFS_BIND_TRANSFORM_CONT, so I have the transform method and I can put code there. I have put a break point, so I know processing stops there).
I tried to following:
CALL METHOD source_container->if_swf_ifs_parameter_container~get(
        EXPORTING
          name = 'SALESDOCUMENT'
        IMPORTING
          value = l_vbeln ).
No, success (cx_swf_cnt_elem_not_found). Makes me think that SalesDocument is not a parameter of the event but something else.
Issue 2: Once I have solved issue 1 and also lookup up the PricingProcedure. How do I go about setting my values in the receiver interface. I know I also have a reference to TARGET_CONTAINER in the TRANSFORM method, but where to go from there?
Any clues would be grately appreciated. Being successful with this scenario, would open for many interesting possibilities.
Best regards

Workflow stop at container operation

Hi,
I have problem in workflow.
My workflow stop at container operation and i don't have any idea why it could happend.

Can you check the workflow log with technical details.
I think it would give you better idea what is happening?

Result element of Container Operation

Hi Guys,
When I was learning the workflow template of "Absence Notification", I have a question with the step 'Container Operation'. The result element 'Flag' can be selected from the workflow container when using F4,but I can't find the 'Flag' in the container of this work flow template.
Can anyone explain this to me? Thanks a lot.

I think you need to create the workflow container for paratmeter FLAG...
Please create it and do the neccesary binding....
Then try F4 in container operation

Container Operation not working properly

Hi,
In my workflow, container operation is not working properly sometime.
I am assigning agents from class attribute to workflow container . sometime the value is not correct.
scenario: class attribute - WFAGENT - value USABC
workflow container: WFAGENT_VAR.
assigning class attribute - WFAGENT to workflow container: WFAGENT_VAR.
instead of USABC, workflow container WFAGENT_VAR is having value as USWF-BATCH.
Please suggest.
Thank you.
Regards.
SG

Hi,
It is fairly logical to exclude the option that the container operation doesnt not only work but also that it passes on different information all of a sudden.
In your situation, either the class attribute has the incorrect information at the time of the containeroperation.
That, or your workflow container gets overwritten with another container operation,or with a binding from method-->container element in some step in your workflow.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Passing expression values to a container operation

hello,
I have a question about passing values to a expression in a container operation. we have a container operation that has a hard coded value for a expression value. we are using a result element of offset days and the expression value is 4. sometimes we want to have this value as a different number. when we do this we have to change the expression value, create a transport , then move thru quality and then prod. is there a way to have the the expression value passed as a variable to the workflow?
if the value could be in a custom table that could be changed when ever it was needed and the workflow would read the value from the table.
I am not fimilar with workflow so the suggestion that I have above might not be correct but I am looking for something on the order of this. if there is a way to accomplish this without having to change the workflow and move it through quality and then production that would be ideal.
thanks in advance for the help.

It is really a bad idea to use a Container operation step to get a variable value.
Why? I disagree, using a task has a far greater performance overhead with hardly any benefit, a functional method in a conainer operation is much more efficient. It also makes your workflow a little bit easier to follow.
Unless I misunderstood something?
Edit: For the benefit of the original question, there are examples of how to do exactly this (functional method to retrieve/assign values) in the second edition of "Practical Workflow for SAP". And since proceeds go to charity, getting a copy is doubly worthwhile.

Calling a WS from a servlet...EndpointPort does not contain operation meta.

Hi all,
I'm trying to call a service from a servlet but I get an error:
Error: Endpoint {http://com.susan/SusanWS}SusanWebServiceEndpointPort does not contain operation meta data for: LoginWebService
...the WS is up and running (of this I'm sure...cause I also tested it with soapui...and it works..)
The webservice is running on a local jboss (to which i can successfully connect, and see the wsdl...).
the servlet is running on a local tomcat (which is also ok...).
I'm trying to call the WS like this:
Service service = new Service();
Call call = (Call)service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new URL( wsEndpoint ) ); //http://localhost:8080/webservices/SusanWS (the same I used in soapui...so it should be right)
call.setOperationName( "LoginWebService"); //name of the method i want to use...
call.addParameter( "appCode", Constants.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN );
call.addParameter( "login", Constants.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN );
call.addParameter( "passwd", Constants.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN );
// call.setReturnType( Constants.XSD_INT ); //left this out...should be the cause...
Object retval = call.invoke( new String[] { appCode, login, passwd} ); //appCode,login,passwd contain the strings i want to forward as input.if I try to run it I get(in the jboss log...):

Files are not appended in the container operation step ?

Hi Guys,
I have a BPM scenario where i receive a single file with multiple transactions
1. Receive step receives the file and starts the process
2 Transformation Step - Splits the file into individual transactions
3. Block step --ForEach - Block has the follow 2 steps
        1. Send - Synchronus - sends the request of each individual transaction to a 3rd party system and receives the response.
       2. Container Operation: Appending all the responses into a single file.
    Properties of container operation:
Target: Multiline element (Block level element)
    Operation: Append
    Expression: Single element similar to structure above with out multiline.
4. Send Step: I am writing this file locally to a file and this always shows only the last transaction in case of ParForEachMode and first transaction in the case of ForEach mode.
can anybody explain why the messages are not appending into a single file. any help would be really appreciated
Thanks,
Srini

Hi Liang,
Check to see if the Sync Send step send every reply messages it received to container operation step:
You might need to remove the container operation to see if you receive each individual msgs.
> I have removed the container operation and i am able to see all the individual responses which i basically written to file just to cross check and every thing looks fine.
Another way to go to workflow log (Complete Process with all the steps) to get debug information:
SXMB_MONI -> Click "PE" under outbound queue -> Press "Display WorkFlow Log" button -> Click List with technical details -> Click Show Work item Container
Here you can see the container and XML message used in this process step.
You might have information on how message be processed in this step
> I have checked in the workflow log and workflow shows the container operation only in the case of ParForEach mode and when the block is in the ForEachMode i dont see any container operation step in the workflowlog and even in the ParForEach mode the container operation dosent have any details.
Your Container Element reference to response message should also defined in block level, since the response message only exist inside the block. However, using process level container element should not cause any problem
> I have defined the response messsage at block level in the container and the target i have defined it as multiline element defiend at process level. This multiline element is taken as input in the transformation step at prrocess level.
are there any other alternatives for this process, i dont understand why the container operation is not appending the elments.
any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
srini

Container Operation step in User Decision

Hi,
I have used one set container operation step in one of the user decision task. But it seems it is not working inside the user decision step.
I have checked the SWI1 log as well, but it is bypassing it.(screen shot attached from Workflow and SWI1).
Please sugegst that can we use container operation step inside the user decision task.
SWI1 log as well ( Not setting the variabl)e
Regads,
Priyanka

Hi,
check if in the workflow definition you mention if this step should be shown in the log or not. Also make sure using the technical details option in the workflow log that indeed the container operation was executed or not.
If everything seems correct, but still in execution it skips something, then your workflow definition might be corrupt, either fix it by deleting the step in development, saving it and then recreating it. Or if it was corrupted after transport you could try your luck with function module SWD_REPLICATE_FROM_9999.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Time Variable in Container Operation in BPM

hi,
how can we add a time variable in container operation in BPM?
Say i want to increment the time upto 5 hours and see if it has reached in my loop.
how can we achieve this?
Tiru

henrique -
I have a block with a timeout defined.
Within the block i have the deadline with control step which triggers the exception
I have the exception handler which has a send step which sends the actual error message.
I have a send step which polls the http receiver and is in a infinite loop.
Now the first time i receive an error message i get an email which is good and should work that way.
Next time if it errors out it should continue until a deadline of 8 hours and then should send out an error email.
What happens is i get the second error message immediately without the deadline getting exceeded.
When i look at the workflow log the exception handler gets executed but i don't see a sign of the deadline getting executed?
Any reasons why its behaving this way?
Thanks,
Tiru

Using Container operation step can i pass one table to another?

hi
i have 2 multiline container elements in the workflow.
in one of my step i am sending email using the receipents from the table LT_RECLIST which is a multiline container. Now before this step i am using a container operation step to pass LT_RECLIST_FINAL to LT_RECLIST. But guess this is not working? is this possible?
the condition in container operation step is like this
Result Element   LT_RECLIST
Assignment         =     Assign (contents of table are deleted first)
Expression          &LT_RECLIST_FINAL&
Operator
any idea where i am going wrong?

instead of
=     Assign (contents of table are deleted first)
try the followinng option.
<-    Add only to table (contents are extended)
or you can directly use the element LT_RECLIST_FINAL in your mail step instead of assigning it to LT_RECLIST and using this element. if both the elements are going to store the same values then there is no point in using a separate element.

Programmed Binding (Container IF)

Hello Everyone,
I was experimenting on Programmed Binding (Container IF) but I can't seem to make it work. I have had tried to refer the codes from the Programmed Binding (BOR Container) but to no avail.
Is there anyone who can guide me on this?

hi Liew
You can use programmed binding in a binding instruction. You can use programmed binding to create more complex assignments, such as:
·        Perform calculations or checks on container elements before assignment
·        Combine two or more container elements before assignment
You can implement a programmed binding as an ABAP class or a function module
You can use an ABAP class to implement the Container ® Container and Expression ® Expression bindings.
A binding that is implemented as an ABAP class is displayed in the list of binding statements as an enhancement and is visible in all Workflows. This type of ABAP class is therefore particularly suitable for making company-wide enhancements.
An enhancement such as this is completely integrated in the binding editor. You can implement you own checks for the class and choose the names and symbols to be used to display the enhancement in the binding editor.
Function module
You can use a function module to implement the Container ® Container binding.
A function module can use the BOR container interface or the container interface
The BOR container interface supports compatibility reasons. It is therefore advisable to use the container interface for new function modules for the following reasons:
·         The container interface has no restrictions with regard to data types. The BOR container does not support the following data types: REF TO, STRING, XSTRING, fields that are longer than 255 characters.
·         No data type conversions are required for the container interface. This improves performance.

Event binding (Programmed Binding (Container IF))

Hello WF gurus !
I am currenlty trying to trace and debug a WF run and I am having difficulty to understand the binding mechanism of a "Wait for event" step in my workflow. Here is the story: Through its execution run, the WF encountered two "Wait for event" step based on the same BOR-Event (ex: BOR = ZISPROCES1 - Event = ABANDON ). The first occurence is directly is the WF (we will call this WF: WF1) and the 2nd occurence is in a sub-workflow (WF2). The 2 work items for those 2 "wait for events" steps were created in March 2010, obviously waiting for the same event to occur. The ABANDON event occured in June 2010 trigerring the execution of both work items waiting for this event.
When I look at the binding configuration of these "Wait for event" step (Popup screen: Display Binding From Event), I see the following:
- Under "Workflow" column: Programmed Binding (Container IF)
- Under "Event 'ABANDON' column: ZCONTAINER_BINDING_MAIL_ISIS
When I click on the "Programmed Binding (Container IF)" buton, i get a popup screen titled: "Binding Instruction Display" with the following config:
> Binding Instruction: Container --> Container: Programmed Binding (Container IF)
> Exit Function Module: ZCONTAINER_BINDING_MAIL_ISIS
When I look ath the FM ZCONTAINER_BINDING_MAIL_ISIS, I see that it uses three (3) import parameters:
DATAFLOW_EVENT   TYPE SWA_DAFLOW
SOURCE_CONTAINER TYPE SWFPARACNT
TARGET_CONTAINER TYPE SWFPARACNT
Assumption: Currently, from what I understand, the "Wait for event" step adds an object called "DELETOR" in the container of the workflow it belongs meaning that when the event will occur, the work item associated to these "Wait for event" steps will process and I should expect to have an object called "DELETOR" in the conainer of WF1 and WF2.
The problem: When I look at my WF log using TCode SWI6, and I look at the container data for each step following the "Wait for event" step (SEND MAIL step), I notice that the WF1's "Send Mail" step container contains an instance of the object called "DELETOR" with data in it. WF2's "Send MaiL" step also contains an object called "DELETOR" but with mention <No Instance> and I don't understand why...
QUESTIONS:
- Where can I see what are the values passed to the FM import parameters ?
- Does anyone have an idea why in WF1's container, object "DELETOR" is instanciated and holds values and in WF2's container, there is an object "DELETOR" but is not instanciated.

BackingBean Method call from Task flow isnot getting the Binding Container

Hi All,
I am trying to call a backing bean method from a task flow using method call activity, where my page belongs to.
In this method I am trying to get the binding container,
      DCBindingContainer dcbindings = (DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
      OperationBinding operationCreate = dcbindings.getOperationBinding("CreateInsert"); but it is evaluating to null and throwing null pointer exception.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Arun,
In my task flow i am calling a jspx page as a popup,
through my jspx page I can do all these operations,
but the problem is when I am trying to call a method written in the Backing bean of that page, at that time only the method is not getting the bindings.
Create insert operation is there in the bindings....
