Checking for duplicate WFs for an Applicant object

[Sue Doughty]

I did this (clicking the debug tools), but don't know how to debug.  It
just shows me the event trace.  Is there a way to see it going through
the check module code?

I implemented this as a Check function module.  When I test the actual
function module, it raises an exception when it should.  But, after I
update SWETYPV with the check function module and then I create the
event, the check function module does not have any errors and the
workflow is started.

 

Any one have any advice?

Hi Sue,

 

Use Function Module SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECT. I haven't used it but
I think it will do the trick.

 

To prevent superfluous triggering, you should implement this in a Check
Function Module rather then the workflow itself.

We are on 4.7, 620.

 

We have a workflow that begins when an Applicant/application is created
(via an event).  Our users have a tendency of creating additional
applications (which creates additional workflows) when they don't see
the first workflow right away.  I want to add a step to the beginning of
the Applicant workflow that checks to see if a workflow has already been
started (and is active) for an applicant.  If there is already an active
workflow, then I'll complete the current workflow.

 

I need to create a method that reads all workflows for the applicant
object (like SWI6).  Is there a function module that does this?  What is
the best way to determine if a duplicate workflow has been started for
an applicant?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
