Reading worflow container element

[Adao-Cruz, Miguel]

Hi David,

Thanks it worked fine!

Why I had to do it (cf MARK mail)
I had object1 with attributes 1, 2 , 3 and 4
Attributes 2, 3, 4 are based on attribute 4.
This object is used in different workflows.

Then I realised that for one of the workflows, attribute 1 is empty (PO
number in case of parked invoice because no GR has bee done yet ;-)
So no attributes 2, 3, and 4.
The solution was to get attribute1 in the workflow container (import
parameter of the workflow container) by another way(... too long to
explain), and when calculating attribute1 do a check: if attribute1 is
initial then read the one from workflow container.
So now, in all cases I have my attribute 1, 2, 3 and 4 without having to
develop new verions of attributes 2, 3, 4 to handle this specific case.

Hope it is clear   ;-)


Cheers


Miguel.

Try using FM "SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER".  To use it you must know the
workitem id from which you intend to read the container.



In order to get the workitem ID, a suggestion is to use FM
"SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECT", this will give you all the workflows related
to the object.



Cheers

David

Hello,



Did someone already tried to read a workflow container from a virtual
attribute?

I tried the standard way:

SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'element' object-attribute.

but in this case the container is empty.



Any idea?



Cheers
