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

[Soady, Phil]

Did you try swi6.
This requires the Object to have implemented IFFIND.
But many have, and this may work.
 
good luck

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
