Thanks Werner,
I have tried with this one.
"swr_object" - is not going to work.
I need in the attachment table with type "SOFM".
1) SAP_WAPI_GET_ATTACHMENTS
2) SWL_WI_ATTACHMENTS_READ
3) SWW_WI_CONTAINER_READ_OBJECTS

All the above FMs gives the Error while i m trying to display the
attachment.
See the attached file to look on dump.

Thanks,
- Vinod.

Hi Vinod,

you can read the attachments of a workflow with FM
"SAP_WAPI_GET_ATTACHMENTS":

  Attachments TYPE TABLE OF swr_object.
  CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_GET_ATTACHMENTS'
       EXPORTING
            workitem_id =3D Workflow_ID
       IMPORTING
            return_code =3D sy_retcode
       TABLES
            attachments =3D Attachments.

Regards,
Werner.

Betreff: Re: Attachments

Hi..
Is there any Function Module, which will reads the attachments of workite=
ms
and returns the table of attachment in the form of SOFM??

OR ---->
I have read the attachments using the FM SWL_WI_ATTACHMENTS_READ, and for=
mat
the SOFM type of table using available information (Structures: swotobjid=
 &
swlnotetab).
Attachments have been seen in the Inbox but I am not able to display
it.Display Command gives me the runtime "type" exception (See attached .b=
mp
file).I think that is due to i have missed some information to place in S=
OFM
object.

Anybody have any suggestions?
I have filled the following fields of SOFM.
1) sofm-mandt
2) sofm-foltp
3) sofm-folyr
4) sofm-folno
5) sofm-doctp
6) sofm-docyr
7) sofm-docno
8) sofm-fortp
9) sofm-foryr
10) sofm-forno

Is there any other field is required to be filled in, to remove the
exception while display command?
Kindly suggest if you have some idea.I really appericiate any kind of inp=
ut.

Thanks,
- Vinod.

No, I don't know. Trial error is the best recipe I can suggest. (Optional=
ly
you can also learn from those trials that were unsuccessful.)

Thanks Kjetil,

Ok ! Now I have only one option to go. That is, Write one method and
execute
it in first step.
Is It?
would you please eloberate difference between _adhoc_objects and
_attach_objects?
The Only difference which i think is the TYPE.
_adhoc_objects  -- No Type, that is abstract type can be used for any kin=
d
of attachments.
_attach_objects -- SOFM type, that is only with Office attachments.

Do you know when _adhoc_objects being used in Workflow Circuit?

Thanks.
- Vinod.

Ahhhh.. good point. The only event container element I can think of right
here and now is the adhoc objects.
Unless you can pass _adhoc_objects to _attach_objects it is probably bett=
er
to do the copying at the beginning of the flow as you suggest.

Modifying SAP standard is never a good idea. It is sometimes necessary, b=
ut
it is never a good idea. I've only encountered SPAU briefly, but it was
enough.

Thanks Kjetil,

I have found two FM's which can probalbly make my work easy.
1) SWI_WORKITEMS_OF_OBJTYPE_GET
2) SWL_WI_ATTACHMENTS_READ

But How should I encapsulate this functionality in my logic.
I was thinking in the following direction.
- Write one Static(Instance Independent) Method in the according Business
Object,
And call this method in first step of the flow and passing this attachmen=
t
table to the workflow container parameter - _attach_objects.

But your suggestion is seems to be quite efficient (using check function
module).
But Check Function has the similar interface like event container.
How can I pass the the value to the _attachment_objects from check funtio=
n
module?
would you have any idea?
Should i modify the event, to change the event container parameters...or
anything else?

Thanks once again for your help.

- Vinod.

Write a check function which finds the previous instance of the same
workflow for the requisition object (SWW_WI_TO_OBJECT_FIND) and copies th=
e
attachment object(s).

 Hi Workflowers,
 I want to configure Standard Purchase Requisition Release Workflow.
 I want to carry the attachments on workitem to the next release iteratio=
n.
 - Workflow has simply two step execution.
 - Workflow is triggered on "releasestepcreated" event.
 - At every iteration of the release procedure of the same requisition, I=
n
new Workflow instance, I need the attachments of the previous workflow
instance which is in  "completed" - status.
 can anybody have any suggestion or Idea?

Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Vinod.
