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

[Baunach, Natasha R]

All,

In case you are interested, here is the solution on how to terminate
dialog webflow task that calls BSP application via terminating event:

1. Declare sapwfcburl attribute on your BSP page.  Be sure to check Auto
box.  This parameter will be automatically filled with the URL

2. In the OnInputProcessing event handler (that is where you usually
process your user's response or anywhere else) add the following code:

DATA: l_wi_id TYPE sww_wiid.

CALL METHOD cl_swf_ifs_ws_export=>get_callback_ctx_params
  EXPORTING
    callback_url = sapwfcburl
  IMPORTING
    wi_id        = l_wi_id.

This will return your workitem id.  The all you need to do is raise an
event for business object type WEBSERVICES, event COMPLETED, object key
=  l_wi_id.  You will also be able to pass back data into the
containers.

Regards,
Natasha

Hi Natasha,
I'm not that familiar with the BSP side of things, and I'm almost
surprised that this isn't bound automatically.
However, what I'm talking about will still work. I think you did
misunderstand: In PFTC, on the basic data tab there's a binding button
by
the object method. That lets you define the - normally automatic -
binding
from *task* to *method*, thus if you bind the ID from there you'll get
the
task ID not the WF ID.

Cheers
Mike
