GOS - Start Workflow only if not already started?

[workflow99@aol.com]

Sorry Mike, not in this case. SWETYPV comes in only when the workflow is started by an event. In my case I need to start the workflow directly.

Not if you invoke the function module as part of the SWETYPV configuration and use it to decide whether to start a workflow or not !

Thanks Kjetil! I am aware of the FM. Even with the FM, I would need a background step and end up with a workflow instance that starts and then ends. And as you mention no feedback to the user other than a mail notification.

Of course. Function module SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECT is always one of your best friends.
Your main problem will be feedback to the user, who should be told why a workflow is not started.

Hello friends,
 
Have a workflow that is started by an event. Now, there is a need to allow the users to start the same Workflow from GOS as well. Is there any way to prevent the GOS from starting the Workflow if an incomplete workflow instance exists for the object? User training is not an option ;)
 
TIA.
 
Best Regards,
Ramki Maley.
