[LIKELY JUNK]RE: SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Good advice Mike, 
Folks you should also look out for Classes that do things similar to the WAPIs as in some cases you are meant to use the class and not the WAPI.  The classic case being raising OO events which is not supported in SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT but is available via CL_SWF_EVT_EVENT.  
So look around the CL_SWF classes.  
I generally dig into the code of the wapis to see what classes they are calling too. 
Regards
Jocelyn

Andy, 

 

You should also be able to use a structure of type SIBFLPORB. Regarding your question of being able to start a WF using OO, the quick way is to have a look in the code of SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW. Given all the stuff needed to do I'd say it's not worth the effort unless you have a good reason to.

 

Cheers, 

Mike

I got it working today.  I had to change it a little though to get it to recognise BUS2121 as a Business Object, so needed to redefine lv_object_instance

 

DATA: BEGIN OF lw_object_instance,

  c_1 TYPE char1 VALUE '[',

  catid TYPE sibfcatid VALUE 'BO',

  c_2 TYPE char1 VALUE '.',

  typeid TYPE sibftypeid,

  c_3 TYPE char1 VALUE '.',

  instid TYPE sibfboriid,

  c_4 TYPE char1 VALUE ']',

END OF lw_object_instance.

CL_SWF_IO_SERVICES=>CHECK_ALL needed this
