Connections between Workflow definition tables (HRS1*)

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Baerbel, 
 
Reading tables directly is always dubious, as there are many relationships and they can change from release to release and sometimes even from support pack to support pack. 
 
In general, you are better off using the Workflow APIs - i.e. function modules with the prefix SAP_WAPI
 
Also if you are new to workflow I would VERY VERY STRONGLY suggest that you get used to the graphical environment - as this is the fastest and easiest way to access all of the workflow information.  Going directly to tables or infotypes will only slow you down.  You may also find transaction SWDM is helpful to you to get information on a number of workflows at once or to target specific information such as agent assignment of particular tasks.
 
Hope this helps.

Subject: Connections between Workflow definition tables (HRS1*)



Hi Folks, 

I'm relatively new to Workflow and would like to be able to check out workflow information as stored on tables like HRS1201 and HRS1205 instead of always having to search around via transaction SWDD (having worked in other SAP-areas like ABAP-development, I'm much more familiar with this than the visual approach) . I've tried to find out how these tables are interconnected, but haven't for example found out where there is a link from Workflow-definition to the standard tasks included (I'm just guessing that it has to be stored on some table or other!). 

I'm also thinking about writing a small local program to query the available information once I know how its interconnected. This might come in handy for all kinds of searches (on WF-title, on task-title....). Or does something like this already exist and I don't have to do that? 

Thanks and Cheers 
Baerbel
