Result Processing not working in Workflow

Tue Feb 26 14:48:11 EST 2008

Thank you for response.

I've tried refreshing the buffers and logging off and back on.  

I should know how to search SAP-WUG, but I don't know how.  Would you
please point me in the right direction?

Hi Sue,

I had several issues that sounds like that. I can guess you work with
ECC6 BASIS level 9 or 11.

Please try the buffer refresh. Even log off and login again and try.

If you still can't get it working run search of SAP-WUG ; I posted
message with OSS note describing ECC 6.0 "surprises".

BTW, pay attention that you don't have case-sensitive problem.

Eventually it'll work - good luck,

Hi Sandy,

    My pleasure.  Then the only solution I have for this is by
triggering events unless of course some standard transactions allow a
standard task id to be mentioned.  

    If you agree to link your standard task to triggered events, just go
to SWETYPV, give the Task ID instead of the workflow id and enable the
type linkage flag 
    manually.
    OR
    In the task that you create, mention the particular event as one of
the triggering event of the task.

    Hope this answer is relevant to your question.

Hi Vinod.
Thanks for your answer.
I knew that FM SAP_WAPI_START* or others.
I just want to know the best approach to execute single workflow task.

    Hi Sandy,

    There are some functionalities where the workflow or its task
can
    directly be specified and need not be triggered using
    an event.

    A workflow or task can explicitly be called using a standard FM
also.

    If the single step is a custom step, it is possible to execute
it
    using a background job too.

    Hope this answers your question.

    Hi All.
    I need your opinion on whether we need triggering event for
workflow
    single task. Especially if this single task is called within
ABAP
    program.
    I agree we need a trigerring event if we use workflow but I'm
not so
    sure the best approach for single workflow task.

    Thanks in advance

Hi Sandy,

if you start a task using f.m. SAP_WAPI_start-* or you fire an Event
using SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT, the result will be the same at least.

In my opinion you get more flexibility into your coding if you fire an
event.

In this case you can easy change the started Task only by customizing
the Event-Binding.

Regards

Heinz

Hi Bill,

Your workflow has an endless loop somewhere. What's causing the
confusion
is that the workflow system treats this as a transaction error and rolls
back the state to the last successfully completed step before the
sequence
that resulted in the loop.

A way around this is to re-execute the current step of the WF and have a
look at the log straight away to see the subsequent steps before they
are
rolled back again.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Shrinivas,

  Please check the following in this order:-

  1.  Were you able to check the event linkages(SWETYPV) etc.?  Please
check the same if it the type linkage flag is 
      activated.  
  2.  Also try testing the workflow independently using SWUS.  for all u
know it may be getting stuck in the first step 
      because of some error in the first step.
  3.  Try triggering the event by executing FM SWE_EVENT_CREATE and
check if the error persists.

  Please check the same and see if it helps.

Cheers,
vinod

We are on 4.7, ECC 6.0

I have a sub-workflow that executes a loop until a result flag is set to
T.  It executes a method that reads a table with some information.  If
the record is found, the result is set to T, if not it is set to F and
the result container is set in the method.  The next step is a condition
to check the result.  If T, the loop and sub-workflow are completed, if
F, it waits and tries again after five minutes.

My problem:  If the method executes and the result is T, the workflow
works as designed.  If the method returns a result of F, the workflow
stops at that step and does not move to the condition step to check the
result.

I can see that the method is returning the result container.  If the
Result = T, I can see that the Result container is sent back to the
sub-workflow.  When I look at the step in the log, it says that the
background item was created, started, work item processing is complete
and the result processing is done with no errors.

If the Result is F, I can see that the method is returning the result
container, but the workflow container does NOT get set to the Result.
When I look at the step in the log, it says that the background item was
created; started and work item processing is complete with no errors,
BUT the Result Processing is NOT done.

What am I missing?  Why is the Result processing being done for one
result but not the other?
