Automating a Decision Task

[Alon Raskin]

Hi Bert,
=20
I was just looking at SWW_WI_ADMIN_COMPLETE and I noticed that there is =
an importing flag called AUTHORIZATION_CHECKED . If you set this to 'X' =
then no auth check is executed. It would have saved you having to give =
WF Auths to the User ID used in Logon. I guess overall it doesnt really =
matter.

Just thought you should know....

Alon,
 
In fact, indeed, we did that; but those users here are non-communicating
users, it means that you can not use them like a normal SAP user, and
you can not login into the system with it, as the password is unknown.
(though called via the web)
 
But I understand your worry of manually changing the status, as it is
like reinventing the wheel.
 
I am looking forward to the other reactions.
 
Bert

Hi Bert,
 
 
That's an excellent suggestion.
 
 
The only problem with this approach is that since this code will be
executing under the user's User ID (I did not make that clear in my
previous emails), it would mean that every user has to be set up with WF
Admin.
 
 
Regardless, an excellent suggestions.
 
 
Thanks,
 
Alon

Alon,
You can use
 
 
CALL FUNCTION 'SWW_WI_ADMIN_COMPLETE'
       EXPORTING
            WI_ID                       =3D WI_ID
            RETURN_CODE                 =3D RETURN_CODE
       EXCEPTIONS
            UPDATE_FAILED               =3D 1
            NO_AUTHORIZATION            =3D 2
            INFEASIBLE_STATE_TRANSITION =3D 3
            OTHERS                      =3D 4.

Subject: Automating a Decision Task
 
Here is what I am trying to do. I am trying to programmatically simulate
a user selecting a particular outcome in a decision task. Its actually
quite simple but the problem is that once I have done that I need the
work item to be removed from the Inbox. Of course the item remains in
READY status as it has not been executed. What I really want to do is
change the status to COMPLETED but I can not do this using the WAPI
because it says it cannot go from status READY to COMPLETED (Fair
enough).
 
 
What I did then is programtically reserve the work item and then chagne
its status to COMMITED using FM SWW_WI_STATUS_CHANGE_NEW. After doing
that the item changed its status to Completed. While this works, I am a
little nervous manually changing the status of a work item. I was just
wondering if anyone knew a better way?
 
Regards,
 
Alon
