Object attachments

[Kjetil Kilhavn]

Sorry I haven't replied earlier, it's been busy (still is... but sometimes a coder needs a break!)
 
To get the work item ID, you can use the following code (at least in 4.6C):
* Started from work item?
DATA: t_requester TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF swotobjid,
      l_workitem  TYPE swwwihead-wi_id.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <requester> LIKE LINE OF t_requester.
 
CALL FUNCTION 'SWO_QUERY_REQUESTER'
     TABLES
          requester = t_requester
     EXCEPTIONS
          not_found = 1
          OTHERS    = 99.
IF syst-subrc = 0.
  LOOP AT t_requester
       ASSIGNING <requester>
       WHERE objtype = 'WORKITEM'.
    l_workitem = <requester>-objkey.
  ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
 
I use this when I want to determine if a method is being executed from a workitem or in some other way (typically to test a method), but you should be able to then either look the task up directly in SWWWIHEAD (this is of course NOT recommended) or by using a WAPI method or the object type workitem (... actually not). If you just want the task type the WAPI function SAP_WAPI_GET_HEADER is probably your easiest solution. There you get SWR_WIHDR-WI_RH_TASK which answers your question.
 
The problem with the other suggested solution (binding) may be that the binding occurs before the work item has been formed (committed to the database). I had that problem when I wanted to set a latest end deadline depending on work item creation time.

	Hi Teage,

	I made those connections (import parameter in my custom method, binding in the standard task, etc) but I still can't get the task id, if I use my method as a default method for my business object. 

	Double clicking on the attachment, the mentioned container element is not filled. I can't get any information about the task container.

	What I'm doing wrong?

	Thanks, zsolt

	Inside of your workflow, you should have the element _Workitem.  The _Workitem element is a business object of type flowitem.  It has a wealth of information.  To access it inside of your task, you need to bind it from the workflow into the standard task...  The import parameter of business object method must be set up to accept the attribute from the standard task.  You will need to create an import parameter of type business object Flowitem. 
	
	After you make these connections, then you should be able to get object inside of your method from the task container, instantiate it, and access its attributes.

	Hi all, 
	  
	We are in 5.0. 
	I'm using a custom method as a default method for a business object. I have to use the workflow id (or the task id ) in my method. Is this possible, to get this information (WS.....) ? 
	I tried the following abap code 
	  
	swc_get_element container '_Workitem' workingwi.         
	swc_get_property workingwi 'WorkitemTask' task.          
	  
	but, the task is empty. 
	Thanks 
	Zsolt
