WAPI SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE

Wed Oct 10 14:52:24 EDT 2007

Thanks Rick. You're suggestion is a good one but (and this is something I didn't mention in my original post) the code must work with WFs that the customer already has in place. The WFs themselves cannot be changed. Therefore not possible to change the decision to activity or using before/after methods.

As far as the error message, I don't recall. But some thoughts on a design change. (Since you are 'testing')

Change from a decision step to Activity Step with popup for Approve, Reject, Cancel and "Terminating event"?
Catch the event creator and pass it through.

I tried to create a decision to catch the actions after choice but was far too painful. (In 4.6c)

Have you tried using BEFORE / AFTER methods? A method call (after decision action) will run. And run as same user in task. 

More than happy to share some thoughts...

It's a custom workflow which I put together for this test. It's a simple decision task followed up by a simple dialog step (which does not popup any screens). What I want to achieve is to complete the task programmatically and then have the subsequent step executed under the agent's user ID. This is what happens when I execute the decision task from the Inbox and I am trying to get the WAPI's to play nice too. I have logged an OSS.

Alon,

What exactly is the step that you are using to complete work item doing? I recall having the same problem when the step had some functionality involved with it. My process used a web front-end by user to process the work items. I ended up making  the work item a dummy step just to be able to assign the item to a user and to provide the ability to reserve, replace, cancel and complete the work item under that user id. I no longer received that error once I did that.

Thanks Ravi,

I am not sure your analysis is right. The Workflow works fine if you execute the work item from the inbox. It only errors if you call the WAPI SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE   with the do_callback_in_background = space.

HI Alon

Most likely it seems to be a problem with the definition of the next step. Check the outcome of the current step and mandatory parameters for the next. Also, you can user Error Analysis (Ctrl+F11) to dig further. 

Cheers

Ravi

	I am just wondering if anyone has seen this issue before:

	I am calling Function Module   to complete a work item. The FM has a parameter  do_callback_in_background . I am setting this to SPACE because I want the subsequent work item to be executed under the same User ID. However when I do this the workflow errors with the following error Error when defining successor for node 0000000004 

	Does do anyone know a way around this issue or whether this is a likely candidate for an OSS message?
