AW: Executing a dialog transaction in background from a workflow

Mon Oct 13 05:01:42 EDT 2003

Fred,

The canonical way of handling this is to

  call transaction .... messages into i_messages

in your ABAP code, then analyze i_messages and react within the workflow
accordingly.

Best regards,
Tomasz

Betreff: Executing a dialog transaction in background from a workflow

Hi,

I have a requirement for executing a dialog transaction (that calls a
report) in the background after a change document (MATERIAL) has been
created.

Calling the transaction with a parameter ID is no problem: the report
runs. But during processing the report results in a message, normally
being displayed to the user. Due to this the status of the background
task (and workflow) remains 'In process'. When I execute the transaction
in dialog and in debug mode I see that the report continues to execute
after I display the message (by double clicking it). This explains the
behaviour of my workflow: the report doesn't finish after the message is
raised (cannot be displayed in background).

Is there a way to ignore the message, let the report run/end and
complete the workflow no matter what occurs during processing of the
report? Do I have to change the report to be able to be called in
background from a workflow?

Regards,

Fred Kouw
