Object Services for Custom Object?

[Gavin West]

Hi Jim,
 
You need to call the SWU_OBJECT_PUBLISH at the beginning of the custom
transaction you have created to display or change the document that your
workflow is linked to. Also remember to call SWU_OBJECT_RESTORE when exiting
the transaction otherwise when you display a different document it will come
up with the previous documents workflow information as well.
 
The SWU_OBJECT_PUBLISH requires the key of the object if I remember
correctly. Usually I put it in the PAI module after the initial screen once
the user has typed in the document number and then you have the key.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Regards
Gavin West

Subject: Object Services for Custom Object?
 
 
We created a custom business object and a workflow for it that works very
well. However, there is an additional feature we would like to activate.
For most workflow-enabled documents, one can click on
System-->Workflow-->Workflow overview and see the associated Workflow Log
for a document. This feature appears to fall under the category of "Generic
Object Services". I found documentation that said we need to "publish the
application document" by calling function module SWU_OBJECT_PUBLISH. We do
this immediately after the document's CREATE Event is raised. Debug shows
that we successfully call this routine and it inserts a record into a
table. For some reason, the Workflow overview feature still does not work
for these documents.
 
Has anyone developed a custom business object and implemented this feature?
Does anyone have any hints or suggestions?
 
Thank you in advance,
