Using SAP_WAPI_RAISE_EVENT in WAS 6.2QUEST

[Venkat S Raman]

Hi Jocelyn:
Thanks for your response.
BC610 has one example on SAP_WAPI_GET_OBJECTS but none on
SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT.
 
The question I have is for the SAP example, I can use the following code
and it works:
DATA TRAVELREQUEST TYPE swc_object.
DATA: REQKEY like SWXTRAREQUEST-FORMNUMBER.
REQKEY = '0000000036'.
SWC_CREATE_OBJECT TRAVELREQUEST 'Travelreq' reqkey.
 
SWC_SET_ELEMENT EV_CONTAINER '_EV_OBJECT' TRAVELREQUEST.
 
*
*APPEND EVENT_CONTAINER.
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
  EXPORTING
    OBJTYPE                       = 'TRAVELREQ'
    OBJKEY                        = '0000000036'
    EVENT                         = 'CREATED'
    CREATOR                       = ls_Creator
 TABLES
   EVENT_CONTAINER               = EV_CONTAINER
          .
 
But with SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT how do we populate the Travelrequest Object
Instance.
There are no examples in OSS or in help.sap.com.
I understand the population of simple name and value, but how do we enter
object instances !!!!!
 
Thanks for your help.

Hi Venkat,
Containers for WAPIs are simple containers.  Just name and value.
For lists you just enter the name and value multiple times.
 
For SWE_EVENT_CREATE you need to create the container using the
workflow macros such as swc_set_element.
 
See a BC610/BIT610 manual for examples.

Subject: Using SAP_WAPI_RAISE_EVENT in WAS 6.2QUEST
 
 
Hi All:
 
We are running CRM 4.0 on WAS 6.2 and trying out Webflow.
 
SAP has delivered sample programs and Workflow objects to demonstrate
this(Package SWX).
The BSP request.html lets the user enters the flight reservation and once
the request is created
through the FM SWX_TRAVELREQ_CREATE, it calls the FM SWE_EVENT_CREATE to
raise the event
through the following code:
l_objtype  = 'TRAVELREQ'.
    l_objkey   = ls_formdata-formnumber.
 
    IF i_wf_xml = 'X'.
      l_event    = 'CREATED_FOR_WFXML'.
    ELSE.
      l_event    = 'CREATED'.
    ENDIF.
 
    ls_creator-otype = 'US'.
    ls_creator-objid = i_uname.
    CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
      EXPORTING
        objtype = l_objtype
        objkey  = l_objkey
        event   = l_event
        creator = ls_creator
      EXCEPTIONS
        OTHERS  = 0.
    e_formdata = ls_formdata.
    COMMIT WORK.
 
Scenario:
 
1. Use of the SAP RFC SAP_WAPI_RAISE_EVENT  to trigger the event from R/3
into CRM 4.0.
     In the above code there is no population of the Container data. When
we try to trigger this through
    the WAPI function we get the following error :
Source (expression '&travelrequest.Issuer&') of binding assignment is not
available
Error in the evaluation of expression '&travelrequest<???>.Issuer&' for
item '14'  .
 
But in the request.html (above code) the workflow gets triggered correctly
with just the objtype, objkey, event and creator, but
when we populate the same fields via the RFC WAPI we get the error!!!!
 
Question:
  Here is the binging for the workflow
    Binding Event -> Workflow
    &_EVT_CREATOR&   ----->  &_WF_INITIATOR&
   &_EVT_OBJECT& ------> &TRAVELREQUEST&
 
 
I am looking for examples of how to populate the event container through
ABAP code while using SWE_EVENT_CREATE and SAP_WAPI function modules.
Any help is appreciated
