Fri Jun 29 06:10:47 EDT 2007

Is this a background or foreground task?

       HI Alon,

            The characteristic of Programming exit is already available
in the workflow.  Programming Exit is a tabstrip in a workflow step.
The ABAP class name has to 

       be provided under this tab strip.  The same class and its
relevant method that is provided in the Standard Task.

            I am not sure where the problem lies.  Irrespective of which
programming exit is used, the same error is displayed i.e. "Method XYZ
could not be executed".

    Thanks in advance,

    Vinod

	Is it possible that the problem is in the programming exit?

	Hi all,

		I have tried posting this query in sdn.sap in several
places many times. But I have been continuously unsuccessful in
obtaining a solution.

		Also tried sending personal mails to several friends of
mine, they donot know the solution.  

		Then I saw this group and thought, this is the best to
post my query.

		I would be extremely grateful if anyone could help me
with the same:-

		1. I am using Programming exits in my workflow step.

		2. This step is linked to a Standard task that calls an
OO method(courtesy: Jocelyn's blog on sdn:- IF_WORKFLOW interface)

		3. My ABAP method fetches the workflow container values
directly as the container data is too huge to be bound.

		4. WF container data is fetched and required master
tables are updated successfully(MM in this case).

		5. But my workflow errors displaying the message "the OO
Method XYZ could not be executed". 

		6. The most interesting thing is:- The error persists
even if i comment the whole code in the OO Method. 

		7. Am i going wrong anywhere??? Please help...

		This is a problem that is lingering around me for a
month now... I need the solution very badly...

		Thanks a million in advance,

		Best Regards,

		Vinod Viswanathan

			Well Cristina, If you are on ECC 6.0  how
about... ditching the BOR altogether and creating ABAP OO classess
instead of BOR object types.  You can then call HR_READ_INFOTYPE or the
equivalent BAPI where available (e.g. BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA,
BAPI_EMPLCOMM_GETDETAILEDLIST) from your class, completely control
whether HR Structural authorisation is used or not, and not have to deal
with a whole heap of historical red herrings from EMPLOYEET and BUS1065.

			Cristina I know you are an ABAP-er - read my
blogs on ABAP OO for Workflow and you will find it is very simple to put
a class together quickly. 

			Regards,

			Jocelyn

			Hello Jocelyn, 

			I changed it as you suggested, logged out,
logged on again and still get the message 'Object does not exist'. 

			We are on ECC 6.0 

			Any other ideas? My new object was created by
copying from EMPLOYEESU (just like we did at Dept of Housing - gee that
was sooooo long ago!) - I generated the object, saved, refreshed
buffers, the works. 

			Cheers,

			Cristiana

			Cristina, Check HR structural authorizations
aren't killing you.  Put yourself in table T77UA with profile ALL.

			Hi all, 

			i am sure this is something silly that I might
be forgetting to do... 

			Several of the HR Objects have the following
key: 
			Personnel number 
			Subtype 
			Object ID 
			Lock indicator 
			To 
			>From 
			Record number 

			I have created a new object type to represent
Infotype 0019 and set the key as above. I checked table PA0019 and
entered the appropriated values in the attributes when I tried to Create
Instance via SWO1. 

			I am in SWO1 and trying to 'test' the new object
type but not getting anywhere. I then tried to instantiate the SAP
delivered ones (i.e. EMPLOYEEI, EMPLOYEESU, ABSENCE) and getting nowhere
as well. 

			Any ideas on what I might be missing? 

			Sorry if this is a silly question & thanks for
any help! 

			Cheers

			Cristiana
