Workflow vs Abap Program

Hello Frienz,
There is a typical business scenario with one of our client, I would like to get inputs from all of u..........
Could u guys tells me is it possible to Call a Abap Program through a Workflow mail which has come to the supervisor's Lotus Notes Inbox for his/her action????????????????????
Which means When supervisor opens the mail in LN is it possible to run a abap program when a radio button or any weblink is incorporated he or she clicks in the mail???????
Requesting all of u to provide their valuable inputs.
Regards
Pavani G

Hello Frienz,
Thanks for all your valuable inputs................
Sheeta / Manikya Raju: We had already tried the insertion of HTTP link but when we click on the link we r not able to run the program.......
SAP HCM:
1. S email received by supervisor is trigerred through Workflow only...........
2. Unfortunately our LN Guy has not got any idea abt this..........
Will very much appreciate for your quick response
Regards
Pavani G

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

ttpa,
Please check this thread:
Re: Workflow from abap program
Also check that your Fm do requires any explicit commit or not?
Hope it will help u

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.

Call purchase requisition approval workflow in abap program

Hello,
I copied the standard workflow for the approvaI of a purchase requisition WS00000038 and i tested it. I create a purchase requisition in me51n. This is triggering the event releasestepcreated which starts my workflow. Everything goes ok.
Now, i want to call this workflow in ABAP. I do not know exactly how to do it. Here is the code I tried.
data: ls_objkey type SWR_STRUCT-OBJECT_KEY,
lt_mesage type table of SWR_MESSAG,
gt_container type table of swr_cont,
gs_container type swr_cont.
gs_container-element = 'ReleaseCode'.
gs_container-value = '01'.
append gs_container to gt_container.
gs_container-element = 'requisition'.
gs_container-value = '0010000362'.
append gs_container to gt_container.
gs_container-element = 'RequisitionHeader '.
gs_container-value = '0010000362'.
append gs_container to gt_container.
ls_objkey = '0010000362'.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT'
EXPORTING
object_type = 'BUS2009'
object_key = ls_objkey
event = 'RELEASESTEPCREATED'
TABLES
input_container = gt_container
MESSAGE_LINES = lt_mesage.
As you can see i filled he RequisitionHeader, requisition and release code. I saw in the workflow that i copied, that these are import parameters. Requisition and release code are mandatory. 0010000362 is a purchase requisition that i created.
After i run the program i receive a work item in SBWP but it has the status error.
Can you help me?Perhaps anyone has done this. I think that i am not filling the correct data or something like that. Maybe you can look in the standard workflow WS00000038 and tell me what I should pass and how.
Thank you,
Efren

Hi Efren,
The Problem is, for the purchase requisition there is two key fields.
So when you pass the keyfiled to workflow it should be the concatenation of Purchanse requisition number and the item number.
You have to pass the object key as below.
ls_objkey = '00100003620010'.
Then only your business object will getting insatanciated.
Thanks,
Viji.

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'

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'

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:

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.....
I have to select some records from database table.For example there are 100 records in the internal table.
For all that records i have to invoke Workflow for getting approval from the authorized persons. Once Approval has come to program, It will post one document in SAP and process ends.
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

PASS DATA FROM ABAP PROGRAM TO WORKFLOW CONTAINER

Hello Everybody,
I am a workflow beginner and I want to pass a data from my ABAP code to a workflow container. This workflow container is used in the Send Mail step.
The ABAP Program is:
REPORT zdb_work_flow.
tables : vbak.
DATA : k TYPE sweinstcou-objkey,
            e TYPE swetypecou-event.
DATA : st TYPE swcont,
            itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF swcont.
PARAMETERS : vbeln TYPE vbak-vbeln.
start-of-selection.
st-element = 'VBELN'.   "This is my WORKFLOW CONTAINER
st-tab_index = 1.
st-elemlength = 10.
st-type = 'C'.
st-value = vbeln.
append st to itab.
k = vbeln.
e = 'TRIGGER'               "This is an event in my BUS OBJ ZDB_WFLOW
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
    EXPORTING
      objtype                               = 'ZDB_WFLOW'   "My BUS OBJ
      objkey                                 = k
      event                                  = e    "Event TRIGGER in ZDB_WFLOW
    tables
      event_container               = itab
    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.
ENDIF.         .
COMMIT WORK.
Now I have created a workflow in SWDD as ZDB_WF_SW.
In this WF I have created a container as VBELN.
In the SEND MAIL I have given a header as "Worflow Triggered for &VBELN&"
PROBLEM.
The Workflow is getting triggered. I am also getting a mail "Workflow Triggered for" in my mailbox but the &VBELN& is missing from the header.
I have set the IMPORT EXPORT flag of the WF CONTAINER "VBELN"
Please Help.

You wouldn't use a SMA as an assistance class - but refer to one within it.
I would use Shared Memory Area classes - but I'd also build a SMA that could talk across multiple application servers.
Thomas Jung proposed this in a forum reply some time ago.
It shouldn't be too difficult to use RFC's to access the content of SMA's in multiple app servers - ensuring synchronisation across multi app servers. I've not yet had the need, so haven't attempted.
The long polling in 7.02 apparently uses this approach, so in a 7.02 system there may even be standard components/ SMAs that you could use.
I do not think global areas in FM's are available across sessions - I don't think you could use that as a data transport.

Workflow and ABAP OO

Hi,
I have read the excellent blogs on Workflow and ABAP OO by Joycelyn Dart (/people/jocelyn.dart/blog/2007/07/16/referencing-bor-objects-in-abap-oo-classes). I have sucessfully created a BO (of type SIBFLPORB) in my class. However, I cannot figure out how to retrieve the workitem container that holds the BO. I have used macros before in workflow programming exists, but there I get the container from a workitem context. I can't find the workitem context in my class. Please provide me with some code samples of how I can retrieve the workitem container that holds the BO.
I am considering passing the workitem id to the method and reading the container via SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER. If this is a good solution, then I see no point in having the BO as an attribute of the classe. Is it a good solution?
Thanks!
Elvez

I am probably missing something obvious here (or we are not even speaking about a same thing), but I still try to clarify my point.
>I could of course just pass the necessary data as parameters to the class
This is the part that I don't really understand. If you already have an instance of a class existing (=there is an object instantiated), which has the BO as an attribute, there shouldn't be any need to change a signature of any method(?). The only thing you need to enhance is the constructor of your class.
Currently you create the BO instance as an attribute in your constructor method (isn't this correct?). Just create the attributes you need from the BO into your class, and "populate" them in your constructor. Or if it is an method that you need, just create a similar method (=you can copy the code) into your class.
This all might be much easier than using the WF macros, which shouldn't be that difficult either - as Jocelyn says:
"You will still need to use BOR macros in your ABAP OO classes if and only if you want to call BOR attributes and methods in your ABAP OO methods.
If you need to do this then make sure you include the BOR macro definitions in your class by putting the special include program <cntn02> in the "Macros" section of your ABAP OO class."

Karri

How to get the decision key in abap program

Hi guys.
I have a user decision workflow that have two options: Accept or Reject. This options has some type of id, right? Like '0001', '0002', right?
How i get this ids decisions through a abap program.
I need to know this because i have to pass this id to a Z Function Model.
Thanks!

The result is found in the workitem container in the '_RESULT' or '_WI_RESULT' elements, you can use the SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER function module to read the data (read the element from the simple container returned table).
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER'
EXPORTING
workitem_id = im_wi_id
TABLES
simple_container = lt_container
READ TABLE lt_container WITH KEY element = '_WI_RESULT' into ls_container.
If you what to get the possible decisions description you can use the SAP_WAPI_DECISION_READ function module,
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_DECISION_READ'
EXPORTING
workitem_id = im_wi_id
TABLES
alternatives = lt_alts.
