Background method error Access 'C' is not valid for verb type 'A'

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi David,
Use the macros to fill the role container.
Do not attempt to fill the role container manually.
 
Instead of
refresh container1.
container1-element = 'COMPANYCODE'.
container1-tab_index = '000000'.
container1-elemlength = '004'.
container1-type = 'C'.
container1-value = bukrs.
 
You should be using something like
 
swc_refresh container1.
swc_set_element container1 'COMPANYCODE' bukrs.
 
All in the book of course - example code for calling rules and all.

Subject: Background method error Access 'C' is not valid for verb type
'A'
 
 
Hi folks
 
I have created a synchronous method to run as a background task in a workflow to
retrieve the result (position) of a workflow role resolution based on responsibilities and
am getting the following error:
 
Access 'C' is not valid for verb type 'A'.
 
If i use the restart workflow function in SWI2_DIAG the method completes correctly.
I have one import parameter for company code based on LFB1-BUKRS and an export parameter that
returns the position based on WFSYST-ACT_AGENT.
 
The method code looks as follows:
 
BEGIN_METHOD FINDMAILUSERSFORCC CHANGING CONTAINER.
data: bukrs type lfb1-bukrs.
data: actors like swhactor occurs 0 with header line.
data: positions like wfsyst-act_agent.
data: container1 like swcont occurs 0 with header line.
data: ad_appl type flag.
data: i77aw like t77aw occurs 0 with header line.
data: wegid type wegid.
data: results like swhactor occurs 0 with header line.
data: begin of actor_test occurs 0.
        include structure swhactor.
data: short like objec-short,
      stext like objec-stext,
      end of actor_test.
data: user_tab like actor_test occurs 0 with header line.
 
SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'CompanyCode' bukrs.
 
refresh container1.
container1-element = 'COMPANYCODE'.
container1-tab_index = '000000'.
container1-elemlength = '004'.
container1-type = 'C'.
container1-value = bukrs.
 
call function 'RH_GET_ACTORS'
     EXPORTING
          act_object      = 'AC98000012'
          search_date     = sy-datum
     TABLES
          actor_container = container1
          actor_tab       = actors
     EXCEPTIONS
          others          = 0.
 
sort actors by otype objid.
delete adjacent duplicates from actors comparing otype objid.
read table actors index 1.
positions = actors.
swc_set_element CONTAINER 'Positions' positions.
 
END_METHOD.
 
Has anyone experienced anything like this before ? If so I'd appreciate
any feedback
 
Cheers
Dave
