modify container elements of running work items

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Sheldon,
Please make the attempt to use the SAP_WAPI_CONTAINER_WRITE as the internal function modules
Alon mentions are not released for customer.
 
A couple of tips for the WAPIs - they don't use the macros but a simplified form of the container
so just treat the WAPI container as you would any other table parameter.
Also you need to first read the contents of the container using SAP_WAPI_CONTAINER_READ, then update
the container, then use SAP_WAPI_CONTAINER_WRITE.

Hi Sheldon,
 
You can use Function Modules SWW_WI_CONTAINER_READ and SWW_WI_CONTAINER_MODIFY.
There are WAPIs that can be used too but I tried them and got some strange error messages so I used the FMs above.
 
Good luck,
 
Alon

Hello Fellow Workflowers,
 
Recently we went live with a new workflow process.  Unfortunately we did not
create all of the needed bindings.  While this is not causing an ERROR in the
workitem, it is causing significant slow-downs in the process.  We have
corrected the binding, but would like to try and clean-up the existing workflow
items.
 
Can we modify the value for the container element for those existing workitems?
It's an instance of the IMAGE business object, and so far I have tried manually
changing the value of the container element without success (always receive an
SAP ArchiveLink error message).  Is there perhaps an SAP function module I can
use?  I am on 4.5B.
 
Thanks,
Sheldon Skidmore
