Hi there Hari,
I had exactly the same requirement at my previous employer.
Let me describe the scenario:
We had a workflow process to create invoices, and during the processing of
the invoices via the workflow there were several "rounds" of attachments
notes made by different people during the "life" of the workflow. We
were also archiving workflows and discovered (and it was confirmed by SAP,
at the time) that attachments created during the workflow process were not
archived along with the workflow tables (swwwihead, swwloghist, etc...)
These notes were deemed very important to the business since most of note
attachments were very relevant to the process (why was it being held,
internal notes, need for info, etc... etc...) and were often reviewed for
audit purposes.
The way I got around it was by "moving" or "relating" those attachments
created in the workflow to another object using GOS (Generic Object
Service) techniques. I actually gave a presentation on this at ASUG a
few years ago (around 2005-6 or so.) In our case this worked very well
because every workflow had a business object created that we could
"attach" these notes to, which is usually how they got to the archived
workflow log anyway.
Let me know if this sounds like it may work for you and I'll see if can
dig up the presentation on that.

Dear WUG Team,
Need your advice!
We have a requirement where the client wishes to see the attachments from
archived workflows. Is this possible?
I have been through the link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_di46c2/helpdata/EN/8d/3e704c462a11d189000000e8323d3a/content.htm
and got the following information.
?The objects in the container of a work item are archived as references
only. The same applies to the work item attachments.
The attachments themselves are not archived because attachments can be
objects outside R/3, such as Microsoft Word files.
Archiving is not currently supported for such data.?
BR,
Hari

Dear Joe,
Thanks for your response!!!
Will you please forward the PPT to my mail address harikranth.b at gmail.com<
mailto:harikranth.b at gmail.com>?
I shall be obliged if you can also explain the process of moving/relating
the attachments to GOS in detail - so that I too try and check if the
client is OK with it.
Br,
Hari
