Using SWI6 Workload Analysis in 4.6C

[Bradshaw-Long, Kathleen]

Hi Raveen,
 
I agree with you that the object would give the end users more than they
need.  I'm sure they only want to look at a particular purchase
requisition.  Thank you very much for your suggestion, and I will share
the idea of creating a customized report based on RSWIOINS with our
project team.

Kathleen Hi,
 
SWI6 is a good option when looking into reporting of workflow against a
business object however I've found that it's not very easy for end users
to understand  and requires lots of training. Aside from the object key,
the users would have to know the business object as well to run this
transaction. Further, SWI6  gives the users more info than they require,
from experience most users only want to know with whom their workitem is
currently sitting with.
 
 We have implemented a program "Trace Workflow" based on report RSWIOINS
which seems to solve this problem. Created a program with predefined
button eg "Purchase Requisition" , "Material" ...., then call method
"Find" bases on the button press and submit this to the report.
 
You will find that it's much more user-friendly as it only displays the
workflow header and all it's dialog activities.
 
Many Thanks,

Hi Kathleen,
 
This is what we do when we want ti add the IFFIND interface so that we
can use the object with SWI6:
 
1) If you don't already have it, create a customer version (subtype) of
the object - eg ZBUS2105.
2) Using SWO1, add interface IFFIND.
3) A new method can now be found in the methods called "Find".
 
SWI6 should now work with the object.  If it doesn't or if you are
unhappy about the popup that asks for the object number, you can
re-define the Find method to be friendlier.  There is a help topic on
how to do this in the R/3 library (http://help.sap.com) - select your
release and then use the search tool on "IFFIND".
 
Let me know if you require any further info.
 
Cheers
 
Peter.

Hello all,
 
I am trying to run a workload analysis using transaction SWI6.
 
I am interested in this transaction as a general reporting tool to
export to some workflow users that will not have access to the detailed
log in the SAP inbox----only the IAC in-box, where the log information
is not as detailed.
 
However, when I enter business object 2105 in the initial screen of
SWI6, I get the message "Selected object type must support interface
type 'IFFIND'.
 
We are on basis release 4.6C.  I checked our BUS2105 object type
interfaces and we have an IFSAP and an IF2105, but no IFFIND.
 
I also found a reference in the Practical Workflow for SAP book that
says "to use this report in release prior to 6.10, the business object
must have interface IFFIND implemented."
 
I tried to find a note in OSS under workflows searching under
transaction SWI6 but I didn't find anything that would help me implement
this functionality in 4.6C.  Is it possible to add this function in my
release or should I look to use a different workflow log report?  The
report should show the user the status of his or her purchase
requistion(s).
 
 
Any help on this?
