How do you get an object to appear as an attachement to tasks /use r decisions?

Tue Nov 12 03:09:47 EST 2002

Roger,

This should not matter -- but is worth checking anyway: does your object
have the a display method? To check this in SWO1 you need to "Go to -->
Basic Data", and check the "Defaults" tab.

Without this method the system would not know what to do if a user click on
the item in the user dialog. I could imagine that without it there's no
point in displaying the object link. But that's simply a lead to be checked.

Kind regards,
Tomasz

Thanks for your suggestion Parag.

Have added the object to the task container (with input/output set, but not
mandatory or multiline) and entered the object in the binding between the
task container and the workflow container, but still it doesn't appear in
the list of objects/attachments when you execute the user decision.  Am
obviously missing something, but don't know what.

The object is definitely available in the workflow container since I use it
elsewhere for determining roles.

Don't know if it makes any difference but am using SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT
(with the basic parameters of object/event/object key) to create the
triggering event, rather than SWE_EVENT_CREATE which seems to be used
elsewhere.  Do you need to add something or set some parameter at the
triggering event stage in order for it to appear in the tasks within the
workflow?

Roger.

Hi Roger,

Create the container for the object in the decision task (custom task).
Bind object in WF definition with the workflow container.

Default method of the object will be executed when clicked.

Cheers!
