sap_wapi_start_workflow

[Keohan, Susan]

Hi Bjorn,


I just have to ask, why are you trying to use SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW
and filling in release strategies  ? 

The concept of release strategies is so that events get raised, and
workflows get started without you needing to write your own SAP_WAPI*
calls.  If you are doing this as an exercise to get familiar with that
function, then kudos.  But you should probably use
SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT, as managing the start of your workflows via
events is far better than starting them directing (IMHO).

 

If I were testing out SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW (or even
SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT) I would try using a business object that was not
linked to release strategies because I think they just muddy the waters.

 

Hope this is somewhat helpful.

Sue

Hi,

 

I'm testing the FM sap_wapi_start_workflow, but I'm having some trouble
filling in the container.

The object is BUS2012, I created a new object ZBUS2012.

When I look into the start event, The system transfers the purchaseorder
(which is the object), releasecode and wf_initiator.

When I try the FM, the sy-subrc returns 0, but I don't see an item in
the inbox where I expect the item to appear.

 

This is my code : 

 

REPORT TEST.

data : l_obj type swotobjid.

data : l_tab type table of swr_cont.

data : lw_tab type swr_cont.

l_obj-objkey = '4500003943'.

l_obj-objtype = 'BUS2012'.

l_obj-describe = 'BUS2012'.

lw_tab-element = 'BUS2012'.

lw_tab-value = l_obj.

append lw_tab to l_tab.

lw_tab-element = 'releasecode'.

lw_tab-value = 'E4'.

append lw_tab to l_tab.

CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW'

EXPORTING

task = 'WS20000075'

LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU

DO_COMMIT = 'X'

USER = SY-UNAME

* START_ASYNCHRONOUS = ' '

* DESIRED_START_DATE =

* DESIRED_START_TIME =

* DESIRED_START_ZONLO = SY-ZONLO

* IFS_XML_CONTAINER =

* IMPORTING

* RETURN_CODE =

* WORKITEM_ID =

* NEW_STATUS =

TABLES

INPUT_CONTAINER = l_tab

* MESSAGE_LINES =

* MESSAGE_STRUCT =

* AGENTS =

.

 

Anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

 

thanks !
