How can I check if a workflow instance for a particular objec t is already in process?

Hi Torsten,

You could use FM SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECT supplying the object type and the object key.  If there is a running flow(s), the flow number will be in table WORKLIST.  If WORKLIST is empty, there are no running flows.

Hope this Helps,
Scott

Hi guys,

here's the questions: I need to figure out if a certain instance of a workflow with a particular object key is already running. I checked the work item header table, but it didn't help much. Does anybody know the name of the table where all the values of a workflow container are stored during
runtime? This would give me the capability to check on this table.

OR: Does anybody have another idea how to achieve my purpose?

THX!

Cheers,

Torsten
