Change an existing workflow

Wed Jan 2 16:46:17 EST 2008

Hi there David,

I was just going on the assumption that you are trying to introduce a new 
business object into you workflow based on the statement "This condition 
requires a TRUE/FALSE decision to be made on the basis of new business 
object."   The examples below show you how to instantiate a business 
object, which means that you will have access to its attributes from the 
workflow.

The method "GenericInstantiate" found in BOR SYSTEM allows you to 
instantiate a BOR, but you still have to bind the key and the type to this 
method in order for it to generate (instantiate) the BOR, which is being 
done in the examples below.

Do you know if the "new business object" is of the type as the business 
object being used within your workflow?   Why do you feel you need to have 
a "new business object?" 

Perhaps you could clarify your requirement a bit further.   Sounds like 
maybe we're caught up in terminology.

RE: Change an existing workflow

Hello Joe,
Please clarify the statement ‘not one of the existing defined BORs in your 
WF’ . I have used a sub-type of the BOR for the object type as an import 
parameter. If I understand your statement correctly this would mean that 
the BOR is already known to the WF and there would be no need to 
instantiate it, right.

Thanks for your contribution.

David

Hi there David, 

If the BOR you are trying to include in your WF is not one of the existing 
defined BORs in your WF, you will need to create logic to instantiate it. 
Below is a sample code of how to "instantiate a business object" and 
assign it to a WF container element, which is being called from a method 
or from an attribute of an existing BOR available in the WF. 

Below is an example of how to do either. 

Good luck! 

======================================================== 

 begin_method zcreateuserobj changing container. 
 DATA: 
       actualprocessor TYPE wfsyst-act_agent, 
       usr01object TYPE swc_object, 
       usr01key LIKE usr01-bname. 

 swc_get_element container 'ActualProcessor' actualprocessor. 
 usr01key = actualprocessor+2(12). 
 swc_create_object usr01object 'USR01' usr01key. 
 swc_set_element container 'USR01Object' usr01object. 
 end_method. 

========================================================= 

GET_PROPERTY ZESSREQUESTOROBJ CHANGING CONTAINER. 

DATA: l_requser LIKE sy-uname,                             
      lv_object         TYPE swc_object,                   
      lv_objkey         LIKE swotobjid-objkey,             
      lv_objtype        LIKE swotobjid-objtype.           

* 
*  Any logic to define Object Key 
* 

 lv_objkey = sy-uname. 

swc_create_object lv_object 'USR01' lv_objkey.   

* 
*  May want to include logic is object is non-existant here 
*             

SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'ZESSRequestorObj' lv_object. 
END_PROPERTY.

RE: Change an existing workflow

Hello, 
All this has been done but the issue is that a new business object is not 
being read by the workflow. >From reading this website it is called the 
instantiation of the new business object. Please advise how is the best 
way to do this. 

Thank you 

David.

Hello workflow gurus, 
I am new to workflow and have been asked to change an existing workflow by 
adding a condition. This condition requires a TRUE/FALSE decision to be 
made on the basis of new business object. Please advise if it is necessary 
to instantiate this new business object using business object SYSTEM or 
can one just reference the new business object in the workflow container 
as an import. I have researched some SAP designed workflows and they 
follow the approach of adding a new business object to the workflow 
container as an import but I need confirmation. Thanks __.____._ 

David.
