How to get Workflow ID Number

Tue Apr 15 14:36:20 EDT 2008

Dear Khatawate,

First I'd advise using SAPI_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT since it is a released FM while the one you specified is not.
Afterwards you may use SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECT to resolve workitems per object. Then you can look for workitems by type and status to found the started WF.

I do not think you'll be able to get the workitem ID during run-time because the event is published and the workflow subscribes using RFC so it is all in separate task.

Good luck,

Hi,

Am triggering a workflow from an event using function Module
SWE_EVENT_CREATE in my program. Once the FM triggers the event i need to
capture the workflow ID number/workitem number of the workflow
triggered.
I tried to search for function module with no luck.

System: 4.6C

Regards,
Deepak N K

Hi WFers,

Really at wit's end here (which is not too far to go).  I've read all the posts related to raising events using SWEHR1, SWEHR2, and SWEHR3...

R/3 4.6c...

I need to raise an event, preferably PDOTYPE_SH POSTRANSFER, when a position is transferred out of one org unit into another.  Our HR friends want us to do this based on the creation of a new relationship A003 between position and org, or the delimiting of previous relationship.  They are not comfortable with using HR Actions to raise the event.

Entry in SWEHR1:  Relationship between Position and object type PDOTYPE_SH
[cid:image001.png at 01C89EE7.F110C060]

Entry in SWEHR2: (HR-CA Event Linkage) - I have a custom FM in the FM field which calls SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT to raise the event.

[cid:image002.png at 01C89EE7.F110C060]

Entry in SWEHR3- Event Linkage for Customer -

[cid:image003.png at 01C89EE8.E88794E0]

1)      Can it be done ? Raise an event for PDOTYPE_SH POSTRANSFER based on a PO13 (copy relationship, enter new begin date and org, delimit old org relationship)?

2)      Do I need to use a custom FM, or is it enough to specify the EVENT in SWEHR2/SWEHR3... The entries seem to be mutually exclusive.

3)      Do you need to wait for a day or should the event get raised (if ever) immediately, regardless of start date on new org assignment ?

4)      I've tried debugging through, but no SWE_EVENT_CREATE, HR_EVENT_CREATE, SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT gets called.

5)      Are the entries in SWEHR2 and SWEHR3 redundant ?

6)      Any other tips ?

Thanks for any help on this issue.
