Hey Alex,
(1) There are other ways of starting workflows directly, besides
SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW
Try searching for function modules with the pattern SW*START*. For example,
SWW_WI_START.
But are you sure this workflow was started directly?
(2) RFKK_MASS_ACT_SINGLE_JOBis a generic program for executing mass
activities in the background (such as clearing, dunning etc)
So it will always call another program, which then triggers the workflow.
(if applicable, have a look in transaction FKJOXTR to see which mass
activities are scheduled at 2am).
(3) If you look at what your workflow does, and what data it uses, you can
probably work out what kind of mass activity started it (e.g., clearing,
correspondence,)
(4) Finally, if this is a custom workflow being triggered from a SAP
program, you should probably look through BADis, enhancements, and perhaps
even
FI-CA events (if applicable - see transaction FQEVENTS)
hope this helps

Hello Jimmy!
Hello Keith!
Thank both of you for the good advices.
I ve tried the Jimmy's advice - namely to search for the where used list of
the fucntion module SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW, but I found only results from
standard SAP programs or classes. (See the attached file
SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW-where-used-list.HTM)
I have meanwhile noticed that the workflow item I am interested in has been
created on 2 October 2010 at 02:50:08 by the user UC4BASIS, as shown below:

As Keith Gardiner suggested, I have sought for all background jobs active
at the time my work item has been created ( using the transaction SM37),
and found out only 10 relevant background jobs:
(Embedded image moved to file: pic20577.gif)
All these backgorund jobs actually execute one and the same program -
RFKK_MASS_ACT_SINGLE_JOB - using different variants. The stupid thing is
that the program RFKK_MASS_ACT_SINGLE_JOB is not presented in the attached
file SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW-where-used-list.HTM, which means, that it does
not direclty start my workflow. Or am I wrong?
Do you have any ideas how to proceed?
Thank you!
Kind regards: Alexander

Alexander,
In you case, I'd suggest you do a where used search of function module
SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW. and hope a Z* report will come up. If so check if
the Z* report is scheduled in any JOB.
Hope this helps.

Hello Keith!
Thank you very much for your prompt and relevant reply.
I already talked to your BASIS team - it is difficult for them to locate
the right background job, cause we have many such jobs started by the
same user UC4BASIS.
You are right - we have many "bespoke" FS-CM workflows that are
triggered by BRF events.
However, the particular workflow I am concerned in is not triggered by an
event (see the attached pictire). How can I find out which program starts
it? Poinitng on the "Workflow Started" step from its SWDD definition and
then clicking on the "Basic data" button just delivers me an emtpy "Start
events" tab, an empty "Start forms" tab, everything (apart from
tehcnical information tab and abbreviation) is empty.
Thank you very much once again!
Kind regards: Alexander

Hi Alexander,
If you look at the workflow definition WS90000049, you should be able to
find the event that started the workflow. This may have been created from
BRF or from FM’s SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT or less likely
SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT.
As the workflow seems to be bespoke, you could look through the BRF
actions to find a bespoke BRF Action that starts this workflow or if
started by program, then look in bespoke programs for the above FM’s and
see if you can find the one that uses this event.
Another alternative is to look at jobs in SM37 for user UC4BASIS if this
is a background job, and see if they set the workflow going. Or just
speak to your Basis team to see what user UC4BASIS is used for.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
