Sandy,
A SOFM object needs to have the key specified in business objec type SOFM in transaction SWO1. Take a look - you are missing some fields.

Jocelyn

Thanks Jocelyn.
I solved binding issue with our Security user id.
OK.
Today I continue my investigation.
FM SWU_START_WORKFLOW truncated _Attach_Objects content.
Original attachment/ document id that I passed in table ATTACHMENT_LIST was in FOL31000000000004RAW33000000000521 then truncated into RAW33000000000521
I can see SWU_START_WORKFLOW calling SO_CONVERT_API1_SOFM. This function module is the one who truncated the original document id format.
I suspect this is the reason user could not see the attachment in their SAP Business Workplace or UWL
What done is I created ABAP program similar to SWU_START_WORKFLOW but without SO_CONVERT_API1_SOFM.
For unit test purposes I hardcoded document id 'FOL31000000000004RAW33000000000521' that I created from SWL_SOFM_CREATE_WITH_TABLE.
In my code I am using SWW_WI_START to start SENDTASKDESCRIPTION task and I put recipient type, recipient adressstrings, etc. into WI_CONTAINER in tables section.
This work item is in error. Error message that I can see from workflow log 'Object SELFITEM method SENDTASKDESCRIPTION cannot be executed. Executed action:EXECUTE_METHOD_OBJECT_SYNC have error message 'Object with runtime number' 2' not defined
Executed action:EXECUTE_METHOD_BOR have error message 'Object with runtime number' 2' not defined
I check every container element that I am concern about including _Attach_Objects is in correct format 'FOL...RAW....'
Apparently I did something wrong.
Will you be able to help me again?
Any input welcomed
Many thanks

Hi Sandy,
Yes definitely - perhaps you need to press enter or something before you save.

Jocelyn

Jocelyn,
Yes, I did it.
But somehow binding between task and method (&_ATTACH_OBJECTS& -> &ATTACHMENTS&, &ADDRESSSTRINGS& -> &ADDRESSSTRINGS&, etc. ) always disappear upon save button.
Definitely this is not authorisation issue since I got successful message from SU53.
Do you think this is the root cause?

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
