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

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.

Reg: MDM workflow in webdynpro

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.
Thanks,
Prasanthi.

Binding Structure/Internal Table to Workflow from Webdynpro

Hi Gurus,
I have to trigger workflow from WEBDYNPRO application. For now I have two ways they are:
1. Triggering WFLow using SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW (Successfull):
How could I bind Structure/Internal Table (DDIC referred structure) to workflow directly. Presently I am mapping indvidual fields which makes my code complex using FM SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW.
2. Triggering WFLow using SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT (Bindind issues):
Also When I try to submit using BOR event with SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT workflow triggers successfully But I cannot able to bind the values. So are there any specific configuration need to be made.( like making task as General while triggering workflow using SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW).
<<text removed>>

Hi
Please make use of the below code
INCLUDE cntn01_swc.
DATA lt_kna1    TYPE TABLE OF kna1.
DATA lt_cont    TYPE TABLE OF swcont.
DATA lv_wiid    TYPE          sww_wiid.
swc0_create_container lt_cont.
SELECT * FROM kna1 INTO TABLE lt_kna1 UP TO 10 ROWS.
swc0_set_table lt_cont 'CUST' lt_kna1.
CALL FUNCTION 'SWW_WI_START'
EXPORTING
    creator                      = sy-uname
    task                         = 'WSXXXXXXXX'
    do_commit                    = 'X'
IMPORTING
    wi_id                        = lv_wiid
TABLES
    wi_container                 = lt_cont
EXCEPTIONS
    id_not_created               = 1
    read_failed                  = 2
    immediate_start_not_possible = 3
    execution_failed             = 4
    invalid_status               = 5
    OTHERS                       = 6.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
          WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.
The other way to do is you can also make use of OO ABAP classes to trigger the workflow. If you want to create a rfc function module then create a wrapper function module .
SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW cannot transfer structures or tables which are more thatn 255 characters. So the work around is either make use of OO container or SWCONT container.
The above code snippet should be included in the assistance class of the webdynpro application and you need to include the define the include cntn01_swc in the class local types under macros.
and then you create a method ....... and include the above code in that method.   excluding the include statement.

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.

Kicking off workflow from webdynpro using events?

I have abap experience but no workflow. Any advice will be appreciated.
I have to kick off a workflow from webdynpro. I assume that I have to set up a business object (eg. ZOBJECT), create an event therein (eg. ZEVENT).
Then when webdynpro runs I use a rfc function module to trigger this event.
The questions I have are:
1. How do I set up the workflow to be triggered by this event?
2. Do I set up an event in Business object builder or in SM62?
3. How do I trigger an event in a function module. I have found SWE_EVENT_CREATE but don't want to create an event just want to trigger the event and in turn set off the workflow?
Thank you,
Warren.

try this below parameters are passed or not
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT'
           EXPORTING
             object_type    = 'BUS2105'
             object_key     = lv_objkey
             event          = 'CREATED'
             commit_work    = 'X'
             event_language = sy-langu
             language       = sy-langu
             user           = sy-uname.

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
Pawan

How to trigger a workflow in webdynpro programs

Hi Experts,
I am new to SRM Workflow, and I need to trigger a workflow in my webdynpro programs.
But I don't know how to achieve it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Hi, thank you for the attention, and my requirement is as below.
1. Creating a web dynpro program
2. User can execute the program and input data on it. Such as Expense application, Leave application...
3. When the user click the "Apply" button on the form, the application should be sent to the boss for approval.
*** I want to trigger a workflow when the user click the "apply" button.***
I have achieved the similar functions in SAP ERP systems, by generating Events in my custom programs.
But I don't konw how to do it in SRM 7.0.
Or it is impossible to achieve it, under Process Controlled workflow architecture.

Integrating ABAP workflow in WebDynpro java

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement from the client where I need to add some additional services (Functionalities) to the existing ESS application.
1. The ESS package already contains many standard DC's such as for "Address","Who is Who" etc.Now I am adding a new functionality "Allowances" to that.
2. I am not using FPM based development architecture to acheive the same.Instead the ABAP team has created a workflow ,so that the approvers in this "Allowance" service can get their approval in their UWL.
3. Please help me in finding a sample code or let me know how do I do the same using webdynpro java and integrate it as a service in the standard ESS package.
If anyone has got some documents pls share the same : meet.raj34ATgmail.com
Regards,
Ranjan

Hello Giang,
You will need at least a placeholder object. Have a look at ESS Leave request - WS12300111 - it functions exactly as per your scenario.
Cheers,
Mike

Integration of SAP Business Workflow and Webdynpro

Hello colleague,
Could you pls. provide any pointers in configuring the following scenario:
There is a SAP workflow configured in R/3. When one of the steps of the workflow is executed I have to trigger a Web Dynpro (for ABAP) screen.
Say its an approval workflow and when the manager clicks on the workitem in the inbox a webdynpro screen will pop up indicating the requisite information. The manager can approve or reject the based on information on the screen. The user action will be taken and the workflow will proceed based on that.
Any pointers in this will be of great help.
Regards,
Gajendra.

I would like to know as well about this, did you get an answer?
Thanks for any pointers.

Integrating Workflow with WebDynpro

Hi Guys,
I am making some altrations to the Workflow integrated with WebDynpro ABAP.
Once we maintain the Task and WebDynpro application in SWFVISU and Register in UWL,
Is that the context has been genarated automatically in component controller with structures in task container and an Interface with the name of the application.
If its not, how to interface Task container data structure with component controller and how to create interface to access task container data.
Thanks

HI Geek,
We are trying to retrieve the workitem id from the web dynpro abap application.
We have the similar issue and we have done the all things but some where, some things is missing.
1. When we debug the application, from within the R/3, it directly goes to the init method of the main view.
We are trying to debug the window - handle default method code, but the control is not able to reach that part. Plz suggest.
2. Also, can u plz send the steps, to be in place, to retrieving the workitem id from the workflow in the web dynpro application.
Thanks and Regards,
Anil.
