Do you have a requirement to display different Info Type and/or subtypes?<br>
You should be able to achieve this with a bit of tweaking, can you let us know
where in the workflow you decide on the into type/subtype to be displayed? and
under what conditions? Like if an Absence then show 2001?<br>

Yes. You understand it correctly.<br>
Bottom line, does not look like I can get these parms via container from an
attached object.<br>
Not the answer I wanted to hear, but at least I now know. Too bad this didn't
work. It seemed so simple, but just didn't work.<br>
<br>
I will have to redesign and create another step to pop the PA30 and place the
user on the IT and record I want to take them to.<br>

We also have HR workflows which uses EMPLOYEET, but mostly BO BUS1065. If I
understand correctly, you want to use the display method to display specific
info type through PA20. But you are passing EMPLOYEET object to the decision
task only as an attachment and the default method for that task is
DECISION-PROCESS. So, you are passing the container values(Info type/subtype)
only to DECISION method but not to EMPLOYEET-Display method. You can confirm
this by setting a breakpoint PROCESS method, where you will see those container
values. I don't think you can pass workflow container values to the objects
attached to the decision task.The same method will work if its a standard task
tied directly to the display method.<br>
<br>
Other standard display method like PO\ME23n mostly use object-Key to display
the transaction, but in EMPLOYEET-DISPLAY, PA20 is default and you want to send
parameters which are not object attributes if you want to see specific info
type.<br>
<br>
Let us know your findings...<br>

Container values - Anything passed from task -> method via WF Container.<br>
<br>
Examples:<br>
<br>
EMPLOYEET-Display<br>
Defined parms on method: Infotype, Subtype, ValidityBegin, and ValidityEnd.<br>
The display method is using:<br>
swc_get_element container 'Infotype' infotype, to get the container values from
the task to the method.<br>
<br>
I am currently working on a WF in HR right now.<br>
I have a Descision task, with EMPLOYEET object passed in to descision task for
Display as link.<br>
I am attempting to pass container values into the method so I can execute the
default SAP Display method<br>
from the "Objects and Attachments" links.<br>
<br>
I set break in this Display method. So, from SAP Inbox, click on "Emplyee:
Rick Sample' and you are in the Display method.<br>
I have no values in container for any of the container values it is looking for
via the swc_get_element.<br>
<br>
All binding are there with data in task. But not being passed to method.<br>
<br>
Note, this is all standard SAP functionality.<br>

Hi Rick,<br>
<br>
I have bound an object to the Decision Task. It shows up on the right under
Objects and Attachments.<br>
If I click on it, it runs its Display method. I put a breakpoint in the Display
method, all is as expected.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure what you mean by "container values". You're passing
parameters to the method?<br>
How do you do that?<br>
<br>
If I pass a container element, say XTEST, from the workflow to the decision
task, I expect it to be available to the Decision task. I don't expect it to be
passed to the Display method of an object in the workitem. I'm not even sure
how to do that. Maybe I'm missing something.<br>
<br>

Hi Rick,<br>
<br>
Just so I am clear on what you are saying.<br>
You have bound an object to the Decision Task. This will show in the
"objects and attachments" pane like below.<br>
Meaning, this object when selected, will open the default 'Display' method of
<whatever> BO.<br>
Objects and attachments<br>
<br>
<br>
* Employee: Mr Rick L Sample<br>
<br>
<br>
Now, if you go into (whatever BO) you are using and put a break point and
execute, you are saying that you have container values? I step into my Display
method and I got zip! Even though all data is in the task itself.<br>
<br>
Don't know when it stopped. But I checked every WF I have in ECC6 and I see no
data passed into them via container. All I have is the object-key. Period!<br>
Some of my tasks just pop a session on the object-key and open
<whatever>, but no setting parms, other container values from task make
it into the method.<br>

Hi Rick,<br>
<br>
I can confirm. Just have an object in the wf container and instantiate it, and
it will appear on the Decision task, and it works.<br>
I ran into a (different) problem with the Display method myself recently.
Haven't tried passing parameters to it though.<br>
Did it suddenly stop working?<br>
<br>

Hey folks,<br>
<br>
I checked and this is occurring across the board on all WFs. I have no access
to container values in any workflow in ECC6.<br>
I really recall ever doing much more than place the object on the Decision Task
and have the Default Display method execute when user clicks on link. Always
taken then to a display t-code like pa20, men23n, etc.<br>
<br>
Can anyone confirm this for me please?<br>

I have a decision step with EMPLOYEE object.<br>
<br>
This object has a default Display method and accepts some parms.<br>
<br>
I have the binding in place, the data is making it to the task in runtime, but<br>
<br>
stepping through the Display method, I have no CONTAINER values.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Any ideas as to why no container values being passed from Task to Display
method?<br>
