writing your own start transactions if you just need the creating user

<br>
I'm looking for a way to display a username in the wi_creator-field of
a workflow.<br>
Let me try to explain, I'll apologize already if it becomes fuzzy :)<br>
<br>
At this client, approvals are don on the portal. So they have a nice task
list there, with the field 'From' as a column. In this column, they want
to see the 'sender' of the workitem.<br>
For my workflow (approval of PO) it says 'workflowsystem'. <br>
Other consultants (who implemented EHR )launch also a flow, and they solved
this problem by launching the flow from a job. So I'm trying to odo the
same. If there's someone out there who has a better idea to solve this
problem, please tell me :)<br>
I'll send you a Duvel (famous beer from Belgium)... :)<br>
<br>
kr<br>

Hi Bjorn,<br>
<br>
<br>
I just have to ask, why are you trying to use SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW and
filling in release strategies ? <br>
<br>
The concept of release strategies is so that events get raised, and workflows
get started without you needing to write your own SAP_WAPI* calls. If
you are doing this as an exercise to get familiar with that function, then
kudos. But you should probably use SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT, as managing
the start of your workflows via events is far better than starting them
directing (IMHO).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
If I were testing out SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW (or even SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT)
I would try using a business object that was not linked to release strategies
because I think they just muddy the waters.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Hope this is somewhat helpful.<br>
<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm testing the FM sap_wapi_start_workflow, but I'm having some trouble
filling in the container.<br>
<br>
The object is BUS2012, I created a new object ZBUS2012.<br>
<br>
When I look into the start event, The system transfers the purchaseorder
(which is the object), releasecode and wf_initiator.<br>
<br>
When I try the FM, the sy-subrc returns 0, but I don't see an item in the
inbox where I expect the item to appear.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
This is my code : <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
REPORT TEST.<br>
<br>
data : l_obj type swotobjid.<br>
<br>
data : l_tab type table of swr_cont.<br>
<br>
data : lw_tab type swr_cont.<br>
<br>
l_obj-objkey = '4500003943'.<br>
<br>
l_obj-objtype = 'BUS2012'.<br>
<br>
l_obj-describe = 'BUS2012'.<br>
<br>
lw_tab-element = 'BUS2012'.<br>
<br>
lw_tab-value = l_obj.<br>
<br>
append lw_tab to l_tab.<br>
<br>
lw_tab-element = 'releasecode'.<br>
<br>
lw_tab-value = 'E4'.<br>
<br>
append lw_tab to l_tab.<br>
<br>
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW'<br>
<br>
EXPORTING<br>
<br>
task = 'WS20000075'<br>
<br>
LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU<br>
<br>
DO_COMMIT = 'X'<br>
<br>
USER = SY-UNAME<br>
<br>
* START_ASYNCHRONOUS = ' '<br>
<br>
* DESIRED_START_DATE =<br>
<br>
* DESIRED_START_TIME =<br>
<br>
* DESIRED_START_ZONLO = SY-ZONLO<br>
<br>
* IFS_XML_CONTAINER =<br>
<br>
* IMPORTING<br>
<br>
* RETURN_CODE =<br>
<br>
* WORKITEM_ID =<br>
<br>
* NEW_STATUS =<br>
<br>
TABLES<br>
<br>
INPUT_CONTAINER = l_tab<br>
<br>
* MESSAGE_LINES =<br>
<br>
* MESSAGE_STRUCT =<br>
<br>
* AGENTS =<br>
<br>
.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong ?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
thanks !<br>
