Easy way to get object (database) attribute in to workflow

[Rick Bakker]

Hello,

"I have copied a business object in swo1 and added some new database
attributes in to it."
Was that really necessary? With subtypes and delegation you could just
add attributes to the existing BO.

"Please can you give me an idea of how I would now get these
attributes in to my workflow."
Is it an existing workflow? Is it the main object of that workflow? If
so, you don't have to do much, just reference the new attributes - if
you use delegation.

Otherwise, you would have to create a task to instantiate the object
(using SYSTEM method GENERICINSTANTIATE) call that task in a workflow
step and pass the object instance to the workflow. That's more
flexible than passing separate attributes.
