AW: Material Master Workflow

[Timo Robens]

Hi Anna,

thx a lot for your quick response. I want to generate the workitems
sequentially. Therefore I have created a new activity based on BO 1001006.
The method is viewcreated. In the data flow i bind the viewlistline to the
workflow. But here I´m not able to influence this element in the way i like.
It seems to be impossible to transfer the items (purchasing org., plant
etc.)in the viewlistline. Do you have any idea? So, if i understood your
answer right, first I have do program a multiline container element based an
the MOFF? Then i have to go into the method createviews and add programming
code into the loop? But in which way can I create a iteration and read each
line from my multiline container element and put the necassary view by
coding into a single container view? Sorry for asking again but I haven´t
learned workflow programming till yet and it´s very difficult for me to
understand or changing the coding.

Thanks for your effort.
Timo

Hi Timo

Probably the most efficient way of doing this would be to use dynamic
parallel processing, but it depends on whether the steps needs to be
performed sequentially or in parallel. For parallel processing, you will
need a multiline container element with a list of all the views you want to
create. You then enter this on the 'Other' tab in the activity step in the
workflow. If you then bind the container element into the task with index,
it will read each value of the multiline view container one at a time and
generate a work item for each of the views. The task in the activity step
must have the view as an import parameter. This will only work if you want
all the work items generated at the same time. You will probably also need a
rule which uses the view as the container and has each department/position
maintained against the responsibility for each value the view container can
take. You will also need to bind into this rule with index.

If you want to generate the work items sequentially, you could build the
functionality into a loop and with each iteration, increment a counter and
read each line from your multiline container element containing the list of
views into a single container element and pass this into the task.

You may be able to combine each technique so that those views which can be
created independently from each other are done using dynamic parallel
processing, and those which are sequential are done within the loop.

Hope this helps
Good luck

Hi everybody,

I´m very new to the topic workflow but i think i´ve got a old problem with
creating a workflow. Here is my problem. I want to create a workflow which
is able to control the creation of a new material. After creating a new
material a workitem is sent to somebody. While executing this workitem i´m
able to go directly to the view i want to. (see the dataflow in the
attachment). But to do so, I have uncomment the parameters in the method
creatviews.(see attachment) So, is anybody there, which can solve this
problem? I want to create a workitem - executing this workitem will show the
special view i want - after maintaining the view a new workitem should be
created to the following views an departments. Please help.
