Attachment on SWU_START_WORKFLOW

Sandy, 
You need to ***explicity*** bind _ATTACH_OBJECTS to the ATTACHMENTS parameter of your SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION work item.
Regards,
Jocelyn

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

	Hi Jocelyn & Ramki.
	Glad finally there's an answer for my question even not tested yet :p
	I've been searching detail solution for attachment in the internet. Unfortunately can't get the exact answer.

	I downloaded that OSS and search SO*API* that can translate my ABAP report result or internal table into SOFM format.
	I will have have a look and investigate it.

	Have a good week end

		Sandy, 
		You'd need to put your attachment in Business Object SOFM format.   You'll need to use some of the SAP Office APIs for this - search for function modules with the pattern SO*API*
		You might find it easier to create a import container element for your workflow in the appropriate table format.

		Hi all.
		I've been searching in this forum and SDN as well. Unfortunately I can't get answer for my question below.

		Our ABAP program need to send the result of ABAP report or their internal table format to user.
		Their approach is want to utilise workflow task. 

		By executing function module SWU_START_WORKFLOW and put my single task in TASK parameter.
		There is parameter name ATTACHMENT_LIST in this function module. I believe this is for attachment purposes.
		Task that I created is single background task that based on SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION.

		Will someone give me an answer how to pass ABAP internal table/ ABAP report into this container element?

		Many thanks in advance
