Container Operation-Programming

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Maorriyan,
You won't be able to get the material type back in the same step - the transaction doesn't pass out information as such.
 
Instead, wait for the event that tells you the data has updated to the database.
Then add after your MM11 step add a step to your workflow to get the data from the database .

Jocelyn

Hi Jocelyn sorry for unclear reply.
User type material type thru transaction MM11. There's
no material type in previous step.
Please allow me to clarify my question.
 
I have requirement to maintain material master
creation workflow via scheduling (MM11) instead of
MM01.
The process actually start from ECM process. I'm Using
object type ECM as my triggering event. Then next
level of task the workflow should inform the
respective user to create basic material view (MM11)
including the material type.
 
All of the scenario is end up with my question:
- How to get the fields value (especially material
type) that user has typed in from MM11 and store it in
my workflow container. Then later on I need to pass
back the value from container to my SAP screen.
 
Several approach and action already taken:
- I had tried to activate event trace when running
MM11 but nothing traced.
- I already create an additional method
'SCHEDULEMATERIALCREATION' (subtype of BUS1001006)
where this method is executing MM11.
- I check in MARA table, the data is not in there but
it stores in PCDPOS table. I guess this is the main
problem why I can't get the data since the BUS1001006
is refer to MARA table.
Or perhaps my code is not right:
 
BEGIN_METHOD SCHEDULEMATERIALCREATION CHANGING
CONTAINER.
  SET PARAMETER ID 'MAT' FIELD
  OBJECT-KEY-MATERIAL.
  CALL TRANSACTION 'MM11' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.
 
  data:
  materialtype1 like RMMG1-MTART.
 
  swc_get_element container
 '_WI_OBJECT_ID.MATERIAL'
 materialtype1.  => Not working
 
END_METHOD.
 
Then I try to use other alternative to get the user
data that :
I'm going to user wait event step where the new event
will kick off the data into my workflow container.
I was trying to create an event under BUS1001006 using
SWUE transaction but it's not working. It said that
"Event 'materialscreationscheduled' is not defined for
object ype 'BUS1001006'. This message is weird for me.
Since the create event button is in grey while I'm in
the create mode.
Also I was trying to create an event based on workflow
for change document using wizard. Again I can't
continue since it's asking me to provide object type.
 
Hopefully this will make more clear or worst..ha..ha..
By the way, we're in 4.7, SAP GUI 6.4
