Workflow from abap program

I created one workflow with a zbusines object. I did not create any event for the business object. only key fields and method.
now my question is, how can I call or trigger the workflow from the abap program. please adive

Hi Mat,
u can use FM SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW.
Please find sample coding
data: z_bus2080 type swc_object.
data: begin of bus2080_key,
id like viqmel-qmnum,
end of bus2080_key.
data: wf_cont type SWR_CONT occurs 0 with header line.
parameters: qmnum like viqmel-qmnum.
bus2080_key-id = qmnum.
swc_create_object z_bus2080 'BUS2080' bus2080_key.
Populate first container element - object type BUS2080
clear wf_cont.
move: 'BUS2080' to wf_cont-element,
z_bus2080 to wf_cont-value.
append wf_cont.
Populate second container element - char variable USERNAME
clear wf_cont.
move: 'USERNAME' to wf_cont-element,
sy-uname to wf_cont-value.
append wf_cont.
Call WAPI function
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW'
EXPORTING
TASK = 'WS94600159' "<-- Your workflow ID
LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
IMPORTING
RETURN_CODE =
WORKITEM_ID =

Call workflow from ABAP program

created a zbusiness object (ZPRODH)with
one key field product hierarchy,
one attribute level number and
one method display.
I tested that zobject and using this object created workflow to display product hierarchy ,it is displaying it. now I have to call it from one abap program.
In the abap program I am calling the funcion module, I
CALL FUNCTION 'SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE'
EXPORTING
TASK = TASK
IMPORTING
WI_ID = WI_ID
TABLES
AGENTS = AGENTS
WI_CONTAINER = WI_CONTAINER.
It is calling the workflow and subrc is 0, but not passing the value to the workflow. Because of that the method is not working, any idea?
Thanks in advance

How to trigger workflow from abap program

Hi Experts,
i have a user developed screen in which there is an option to approve (not a std tcode)
for which there is no event created.
i am very new to workflow ,
now how to create an event and also how to trigger the workflow

Hi,
You can run a ABAP report or call a transaction from the BOR's Method directly.
Check this link for more info.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/80/9a3cb3971c11d194c60000e82dec10/frameset.htm.
In order to trigger an event programmatically, we would use the function module SWE_EVENT_CREATE.
BUS1001006 ( Standard Material )
here is the sample code.
DATA: key LIKE sweinstcou-objkey.
key = '68." Material Number (hard-coded)
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
EXPORTING
objtype = 'BUS1001006'
objkey = key
event = 'CREATED'
CREATOR = ' '
TAKE_WORKITEM_REQUESTER = ' '
START_WITH_DELAY = ' '
START_RECFB_SYNCHRON = ' '
NO_COMMIT_FOR_QUEUE = ' '
DEBUG_FLAG = ' '
NO_LOGGING = ' '
IDENT =
IMPORTING
EVENT_ID =
TABLES
EVENT_CONTAINER =
EXCEPTIONS
OBJTYPE_NOT_FOUND = 1
OTHERS = 2
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ELSE.
WRITE 'Event Triggered'.
ENDIF.
COMMIT WORK.
In order to test whether the event is getting triggered or not, we can make use of Event Trace. Switch on the event trace using the transaction SWELS.
Press Switch On.
Now execute the program developed earlier. Now switch-off the event trace using the same transaction SWELS.
Now go to transaction SWEL. Here you can list out the events triggered in the particular period of time. Here is the event-trace list:

How to trigger GP workflow through ABAP Program.

Hi All.
i have one scnerio , i want to create BOM through Custom Ztransaction that will be developed in ABAP Modulepool.
User will create BOM from this ztransaction through Transactional Iview in PORTAL,Once the user save transaction , i want to trigger a GP(Guided Procedure ) workflow,from ABAP Program.
is it possible to trigger GP workflow?
if yes how to do it , please suggest the way out.
Regards,
Shyam.

Hi lingana,
As u see in my requriment that, Workflow is not designed within SAP , But the Workflow will be designing
in SAP Netweaver, its a GP Workflow. And Ztransaction(Developed by ABAP) will be seen by user through portal and
he save transaction on PORTAL, In backend ABAP program will run , and after meeting certain condition, it should create
or(Initiate) GP workflow(process).
So my question is , how ABAP Program will call GP workflow, How the connection will be made in between ABAP Code and GP workflow framework.
If any doubt regarding requriment let me know,
Regards,
Shyam.

Procedure to Call Workflow Object from ABAP program in Se38

Hi All,
I have one scenario like i have to call one Workflow object from ABAP program in SE38.The scenario is like below.....

Please suggest me how to move forward with this scenario.
Regards
Manas Ranjan Panda

Hi,
So you want to start a workflow from an ABAP, if an event exists for that particular workflow then the best way is to use fm SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT,
to start a workflow from an ABAP you can use fm SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

XML files from ABAP programs

Hi everyone!
Is there a way in ABAP to output XML files? Pls. send code/ function module if any.
From ABAP programs, we are sure that we can output TEXT files, but how about XML files?
The significance of this question is related
Currently we are using XI to interface SAP and AMS, this question for ABAP to produce XML file arose, if for example, the XI server is down and we have to still send data from one system to another. IDocs can also produce XML files, pls confirm. Earlier however, we have preferred XI rather than IDocs to do this. Anyway, any idea regarding this scenario will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and God bless!

SECURITY_RISK
Either:
· The command contains impermissible characters. These are characters with potentially dangerous properties, such as ; under UNIX.
· The command definition specifies that an extra-check function module be run. This function module has rejected execution of the command.
WRONG_CHECK_CALL_
INTERFACE
The command definition specifies that an extra-check function module is to be run. Either this function module is missing, or the interface defined for this function module does not match that of the standard R/3 function module SXPG_DUMMY_COMMAND_CHECK. For more information, please see SXPG_DUMMY_COMMAND_CHECK: Interface for Extra-Check Function Modules.
TOO_MANY_PARAMETERS
The command definition specifies that user-specified arguments for the external command are not allowed. However, an additional string of command arguments was specified.
PARAMETER_EXPECTED
The command definition includes the placeholder character ?, which signifies that additional user-defined arguments are required. However, no additional arguments string was supplied.
PROGRAM_START_ERROR
An error occurred while starting the external command. The R/3 system field SY-MSGV1 contains additional information on the problem.
PROGRAM_TERMINATION_
ERROR
An error occurred while trying to obtain the return code of the external program. The R/3 system field SY-MSGV1 contains additional information on the problem.

HOW TO TRIGGER AN WORKFLOW FROM A PROGRAM ?

HELLO THERE ,
CAN ANYBODY PLZ TELL ME HOW TO TRIGGER AN WORKFLOW FROM AN PROGRAM AND TO PAS THE VALUE TO THE CONTAINER ?

Hello Neon,
If you want to trigger the workflow directly, use the FM, SWU_START_WORKFLOW
CALL FUNCTION 'SWU_START_WORKFLOW'
EXPORTING
    task                  =
*   LANGUAGE              = SY-LANGU
    user                  =
*   SENDER_ID             =

tables
*   CONTAINER             =
*   MESSAGE_LINES         =
    attachment_list       =
A workflow can also be triggered by and event which is in turn triggered by a program.

Execute webdynpro from abap program and return to the caller program

Guys,
I have a question here.
I know there is a way to call an abap webdynpro application from normal abap program by either using a class method, or use a function module WDY_EXECUTE_IN_PLACE by providing
the webdynpro application or using CALL TRANSACTION statement.
But, is there anyways that we can call the webdynpro application from abap program by supplying data to the webdynpro and display to the user from the portal, and then
once the user do some manipulation on the data, can we transfer back the data to the caller abap program?

hey ,
you can pack any web-dynpro program in tranasaction code and run it from R/3 and not via portal :
search in " SAPTECHNICAL" how to do so - for some reason i cant post a link here
than you can use call transaction .

ASA

Passing data from abap-program to mssql database table thro native sql

Hi,
To pass the data from abap-program to mssql server,i have created database connection through dbco t.code.
now i am trying to get connection thro native sql but am not able to get it .Am working in ECC 5.0.
Could anyone help me on this.Did i miss anything?
i have tried Native-sql like this.
DATA: CON_NAME LIKE DBCON-CON_NAME VALUE 'BIW'.
EXEC SQL.
  CONNECT TO :con_name AS 'C1'
ENDEXEC.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Trying to do the same here, only using Oracle DB.
DATA:     dbc TYPE DBCON_NAME VALUE 'BI'
TRY.
EXEC SQL.
    CONNECT TO :dbc
ENDEXEC.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE cx_sy_native_sql_error.
ENDIF.
CATCH cx_sy_native_sql_error INTO oref_native_sql_error.
sql_emsg = oref_native_sql_error->get_text( ).
MESSAGE sql_emsg TYPE 'I'.
ENDTRY.
I keep getting the message 'Native SQL exception has occured' (because of the RAISE statement, I wonder how we can get a meaningfull error description).
Of course this can be a result of a number of network issues, so I'm trying to resolve this together with my BC admin.
I suggest the same to you..
In the meantime, if anyone can help out, it will be appreciated.
