AW: workflow classes: IF_WORKFLOW interface

Mon Mar 23 17:24:07 EDT 2009

That was a great tip. I found about 70 classes (implementing IF_WORKFLOW)
via SE80, and it took but a second.

Vielen dank, you guys!

Hi,

It's not a problem, it's an intended behaviour - the where-used index for
all SAP standard objects is huge, and generating it can easily nuke your
database. There's an official note on generating the full where-used index,
and though I don't remember the number, I do remember there were some
warnings about the amount of disk space and runtime this job will consume.

You might want to use the SE80 to find the implementing interfaces of
IF_WORKFLOW instead of using SE16(N) and some internal views - should be
about the same result. Note that this is NOT equal to the where-used index
- the latter also finds references to that interface in the ABAP code (e.
g. as local variables) whereas both the SE80 and VSEOIMPLEM only list
implementing classes.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards
Volker Wegert

Florin,

  Ja, there seems to be a problem with the 'where-used' functionality for
interfaces.
Using this method, I can only find 2 classes that use IF_WORKFLOW - and
we're on ECC 6 Basis 7.01

I know that there are many more.

I've been caught out with this already: building a custom class, then
finding a perfectly good standard one later!

cheers
Paul

Hi Jocelyn,

what is Enhancement Pack 4? We're on ECC 6.0 Basis 7.00 HP13. SAP R/3.
