Antwort: Triggering WF from ABAP

[michael.klika@de.pwcglobal.com]

hi karsten!
 
im sure there is a solution for your problem, but you should think at first
about the technique you dont wanted to use...
 
pro's of event-triggered workflow:
 
- process is analog to usually started wf's
- you can analyse the logfile for the event and get messages about possible
errors
- you see exactly what information is handed to the workflow itself and whether
its started correctly
- it follows the idea of modularity
 
hope this helps a bit :-)
regards, michael
 
ps: here's an example for event-raising: (sorry, comments are german),
     dank und gruss an willigerd ;-)
 
*   Objekttyp vereinbaren
  D_OBJTYP = 'BUS1001'.
 
*   Container-Datenstruktur anlegen
swc_container d_container.
 
*   Container-Datenstruktur initialisieren
swc_create_container d_container.
 
*   definitions for event-call
    D_EREIGNIS = 'Mat1stCreWithPlant'.
 
*   Werte in Container schreiben
    SWC_SET_ELEMENT D_CONTAINER 'Werk' WMARC-WERKS.
    SWC_SET_ELEMENT D_CONTAINER 'Sparte' WMARA-ZZMSPART.
    SWC_SET_ELEMENT D_CONTAINER 'Ekgrp' WMARA-ZZMEKGRP.
 
*   Schluessel definieren
    D_OBJKEY = WMARA-MATNR.
 
*   raise event
    CALL FUNCTION 'EVENT_CREATE_IN_UPDATE_TASK'
       EXPORTING
            OBJTYPE       =  D_OBJTYP
            OBJKEY        =  D_OBJKEY
            EVENT         =  D_EREIGNIS
*         CREATOR                 = ' '
*         TAKE_WORKITEM_REQUESTER = ' '
*         start_with_delay        = 'X'
*         start_recfb_synchron    = ' '
*         debug_flag              = 'X'
*    importing
*         EVENT_ID                =
       TABLES
            EVENT_CONTAINER         = D_CONTAINER
*    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.
