<font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

<font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

but liveable). </span></font><br>
<br>
<font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:
Arial;color:blue'>1. Always add a CREATEINSTANCE static method to your ABAP OO
object. This method should accept in your object key, do a create object
step, and catch any exceptions (e.g. object does not exist) and return the
object in a returning parameter. You can then call the CREATEINSTANCE step in a
task. Double check your binding - I often find it easier to bind
directly to the returning parameter rather than use the _WI_Object element. </span></font><br>
<br>
<font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:
Arial;color:blue'>Note: You are not permitted to call the Constructor method
directly in a task, and likewise leave all the LPOR stuff alone -that's for
internal use by the workflow engine only. In NW04s you don't even get to
choose those methods when you create a task so best not to touch them at all. </span></font><br>
<br>
<font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:
Arial;color:blue'>2. Absolutely use ABAP OO Events. You should only use
BOR events if you have an SAP provided BOR object and no way of raising an OO
event due to the way that applications config works. </span></font> <br>
<br>
<font size=2 color=blue face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Hello
all,</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>i am
currently implementing Workflows baseing on ABAP OO in a 6.20 System (yes i
know there are some restrictions, just dont know much about these restrictions,
as i havent yet found any valuable infos).</span></font> <br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I do
facing some problems and need some ideas:</span></font> <br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>1. How
do i get a handle of a ABAP OO class (included the IF_WORKFLOW as well as
implementation of the respective Methods (find~by~lpor etc)) in my workflow container
at runtime?. I do start the workflow with the WAPI-FB to start a workflow. So
far i have tried to wrapp the find~by~lpor method in another static method
which is called from my workflow. I do pass a key to the task which implements
the wrapper method. The task passes the key to the method and the method should
return a handle which will then passed back to the workflow. Everthing on the
data-level is fine, meaning the key is a valid key (did run the class in
testmode and called the wrapper method with that key and i do get a valied
handle back) . Unfortuantelly the container element of the workflow which
should hold the returned handle is always empty.</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>2. Is
it recommend to use EVENTS as part of ABAP OO to control workflows or should i
better go with a BOR implementation for that matter?</span></font> <br>
