Backgorund job that generated a workflow item withaparticularuser-how can I determine the job's name?

Thu Oct 7 04:20:20 EDT 2010

Hi Alexander,

Another option is to go into the workflow builder.

Open up the basic data (Top Hat icon or Ctrl + F8)

Click the Version overview tab and look at the Created By or Changed By columns to see who has worked on the workflow and ask them.

Regards,

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:

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. 

Jimmy

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,

The job has created a workflow item with ID                                                                     4072344
