How to kick of a stuck runtime dialog workitem through a prog ram in order to continue the workflow

[Patrick Pant - USA]

Thank you Mark, but the problem is, i do want to do this from a report
rather than manually one by one. i have extensively researched the available
function modules (31H) and tried to debug the menu item 'change manually' in
the change screen for the workitem, but i seem to find no such answer.
the workitem itself is not in an error status but in status 'ready'.
If i do the whole process manually, i.e. select 'change manually (F8)' in
the workitem change screen, change the container and fill it with the new
values and then select the right terminating event for execution, the
workflow continues correctly. The next step though, which is a background
step, stays in ready status, and does not get executed by the system
automatically.
 
i guess this is to deep in the system to really make it work smoothly :O(
 
thanks for your help!

Try going into the work item (try both the single step and the multi-step
parent workflow) in technical view, then Edit/Change and you should have a
restart after error button.

Hello Coflowers,
 
i need to continue a workflow  that got stuck in a dialog step (status
ready), because the transaction was executed outside of the workflow (posted
a document). the workflow should be kicked of through a program.
does any one of you know, what to do, in order to set this workitem to
status completed (other than just change the table entry in swwwihead), so
the workflow continues (!) with my newly set container elements?
 
thanks!
