Attachment on SWU_START_WORKFLOW

[Sandy]

Hi Jocelyn, Ramki and others.
I just want to follow up this attachment issue.

As per my investigation below my steps to create ABAP report layout/internal
table as a work item attachment
1. Convert ABAP internal table/ report with FM SWL_SOFM_CREATE_WITH_TABLE.
The result is in SOFM format

2. Issue that I found with SWU_START_WORKFLOW is, user could not see
attachment in SAP Business Workplace neither in UWL.
When I check the workflow log, I can see _ATTACH_OBJECT contain value in
SOFM format.

3. Then I decided to replace SWU_START_WORKFLOW with SWW_WI_CREATE and use
SWL_WI_NOTE_CREATE to make sure attachment is created. Then execute the work
item with SWW_WI_WITHOUT_WLC_EXECUTE
Unfortunatelly I am facing exactly same issue where attachment could not be
found from user point of view (SAP Business Workplace and UWL).
_ATTACH_OBJECT has no issue

Will you be able to let me know what is the missing step in this issue?

Many thanks

Fyi. we're in SAP ECC 6.0 with EP 7
