Removing BO attachment from work item

Tue Jan 22 10:39:31 EST 2008

Hi Ed,

I had made the change from Florin's email below but was not starting the
workflow with the delegated object.  When I did that, I got what I
needed.

Thank you both for your help.

Sue, 
If you use a delegated business object (ZBUS1065) and use that object to
trigger your workflow, then you can put whatever attribute of ZBUS1065
as the "name" (default attribute).  In the past I have created a virtual
attribute 'Title'  and used that as the default attribute. 

 Go to Basic Data (the hat) for the business object to the Defaults tab.
There you can specify the default method (usually Display) and the
default attribute (Title).

Hope that helps,
Ed

Florin,

Thank you for your response.  I did what you suggested, but the issue is
with the word "Employee" (the name of the Business Object).  Below is
what it looked like before #:

With HiringType = BUS1065, below is what it looks like now:

It changes the key of the record, not the name of the BO.

Does anyone know how to either delete the object from the attachment or
to change the name of the BO that displays in the work item?  BUS1065 is
an SAP object, so changes are not allowed.  We are not using UWL.

Hello Sue,

the attachment list with the business objects links is created from two
sources:

1. Objects, used as leading objects during the workflow

2. Objects, that are in the list _ATTACH_OBJECTS

You can only remove references to business objects, that you have
attached yourself in the second list, where for the first one, the
workflow runtime system uses (at least) the current leading object (i.e.
the one under _WI_OBJECT in the work item's task).

So the way to remove this object link is kinda blocked, where the way to
fully replace all occurences of BUS1065 with two different one's (and
therefor not using a system wide delegation) is quite too complicated.

SOLUTION:

1. Create a subtype of BUS1065 -> ZBUS1065.

2. Create+Implement+set status to implemented of a new virtual text
attribute 'HiringType' that either says "Employee" or "Hired", depending
on the information you hopefully have somewhere stored which is
accessible through the object's key. 

3. In the object editor use the menu  Goto-->Basic Data, choose tab
"Defaults". Under the edit field "Attribute" select the new 'HiringType'
attribute.

4. Enable system wide delegation from BUS2065 to ZBUS1065

Now instead of a general "Employee", which was the text of the object's
type when there's no default maintained, you'll see that this behaviour
has changed now. You'll have to re-start the workplace' transaction and
mayhaps also to use transaction SWU_OBUF to refresh.

To check, if you have implemented this correctly, you could start by
setting the attribute 'HiringType' to a fixed text, e.g. "Hello, World".

That's what came up to my mind and hopefully you'll can get any further
with this information.

Best wishes,

Florin
