How to get workitem id of webflow task to call terminating event?

[Baunach, Natasha R]

Hi Mike,

Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are saying but I don't think this
is what I am looking for.  Let me clarify the question:

I have a BSP approval page.  I created a service and generated a webflow
task via WF_EXTSRV transaction.  It created a task with object type
webservice and method processdialog.  In the terminating event tab, now
there is an entry: element=_wi_object_id, object type=webservice,
event=completed.  So, it expects workitem id of this task as the key to
trigger terminating event.

I can pass parameters to the BSP application, but when I tried to pass
&WEBSERVICE.WI_ID& from workflow to the container I defined at the task
level and then at the service level, I get an error that it hasn't been
filled because workitem id hasn't been generated.

So, I am wondering how would BSP page know for what workitem id to
trigger terminating event?

I can easily pass overall workitem id for the whole workflow and then
use function module SWI_GET_DEPENDENT_WORKITEMS to get all child
workitem id and look the latest one with a particular task number.  This
approach would only work if there is only one branch.  If there are
parallel branches, I might get a wrong workitem id.

I would think that there are must be a way for BSP to capture that
workitem.  Maybe there is a standard attribute name that is declared on
the BSP page itself that workflow automatically populates but I can't
find any documentation.

I've searched this forum as well as SDN without any success.

With this said, will your solution work and am I just not getting it?

Thanks,
Natasha

Hi Natasha,
The task->method binding is normally implicit, but you can override it
and
should be able to add the task ID in manually. Just click on the binding
icon in the task definition screen.
HTH,
Cheers
