<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Hi Matthan,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Have you tried triggering the WF
by using the native SAPGUI transactions? This will give you a more accurate
picture than using SWUE or SWUS, since the timing of database updates cannot be
the issue using these transactions (you’ve already created the Leave data,
right?)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>A long time ago, FIPP workflows
used to bomb out because the workflow would be triggered and begin processing
before the FIPP document had been committed to the database. This issue with
dates sounds similar to me. Although, playing with dates in HR data is a trick
unto itself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>I would try to generate the leave
request via SAPGUI and see what happens. If you still get the issue – then I
would start my debugging engine </span><span style='font-family:Wingdings;

<b>Subject:</b> Container element not created in the WI description<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hope anyone had already encountered this problem of mine
regarding the generation of container element in the WI description in the
task. This quite a simple problem but i cannot find the solution to the
problem.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Im using a date attributes in the WI description for leave
request approval task :<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> e.g. Leave request for Approval &<a
href="http://emp.name">emp.name</a>& &emp.date_from& -
&emp.date_to&<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>The workflow is started thru a start event triggered by a
RFC call from the SAP portal.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Somehow, when the WI is generated in the task, a syntax
error occurs in the error log and the date attributes are not generated
successfully:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>e.g sample WI description result : Leave request for
Approval Employee Name -<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>(the emp.date_from and to are not displayed).<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>To make it more complicated, when it i started the workflow
in SWUE or SWUS, all the attributes are generated successfully, no syntax
errors in the logs.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>e.g sample WI description result : Leave request for
Approval Employee name 06/01/2010 - 06/02/2010<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>All bindings are correct from Workflow to task. I
cannot find a problem in the RFC call that triggers the event since the
workflow is started successfully (previous tasks prior to the task with
erroneous description, like background task are completed). When i looked
at the BOR container in the task, the from and to dates attributes have values.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Appreciate any help on this. BTW, we are on 4.7 r/3.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
