ABAP-OO Workflow for PO-release

[Griffiths, Mark]

One thing to watch out for is that as of December (it could have changed
since) enhancements made to ABAP OO classes with the enhancment
framework were not picked up in the workflow environment.  e.g. I added
some attributes to the Leave Request class but these were not picked up
in the workflow runtime.  I raised this with OSS and it was a known
issue on the development 'to do' list.
 
If anyone has had success getting this to work since December then
please let the group know which note or Support pack this came in with!
 
Regards,
 
 
Mark

Hi All,
 
   It is quiet possible to redefine the standard methods of the class or
you can add new methods to the standard class using the New Enhacement
Framework.
 
  To add the new methods in the standard class just follow the menu path
as below Class->Enhance. Create an enhancem implementation then the
screen will be changed so that you can add new methods.We also have
options like Pre-Exit, Post-Exit and Over Write Exit against the
standard methods to incorporate custom logic.
 
 
 So, I feel it is quiet simple and easy when compared to BOR. But it
will take some time as SAP has to redesign the existing BOR objects into
Classes. So, I like working on classes compared to BOR. I hope you too
once you are used to it for a litte time.
 
Thanks

	Hi Mike,
	
	Haven't had an opportunity to dabble in the OO stuff yet but
hoping to do so soon. My question is probably is very basic OO. How do I
go about extending a standard SAP class for additional events,
attributes and methods. For instance some standard xRPM workflows are
class based.

		Yes, and yes. Actually in many cases I've done away with
the BORs because 
		 it's a 10 minute job to add the two or three BOR
components I actually  need into my class. The icing on the cake is
being able to bind  _WI_ACTUAL_AGENT via functional method straight into
an instance of  ZCL_WF_USER.

			the need for crossing from one object type to
the other.      

		Unfortunately it only works one way - BORs can't have
class attributes.  Usually I end up working with both, which
		 is not really a big issue.
