Workflow changes in EHP6

[Sample, Rick]

I recall a conversation on this years ago. The gist was that no matter what you define them as they are passed as char 255 in the bindings. No?
So if questions or in doubt just define as swcont-value pass to BOR and define in method. Works for me and fewer issues with binding issues on upgrades. NEVER had issues doing it this way. Not elegant, but works for me.

Hi George,

Can you check tables SWDSBINDEF (UI) and SWD_BINDEF (runtime) and compare the entries for your binding...are they different?

If so then please create a message for SAP support and include it for my attention (Eddie Morris).

Regards,
Eddie

Hi,
I checked and all container elements have valid data elements, in fact some container elements have values, so there is nothing wrong with the data definition. Pfiu... crappy error message...

George,

We noticed that SAP withdrew (i.e. deleted) a few of their own structures without warning and that tripped us up at the time.

My advice would be to revisit your binding and adjust the definitions. You may find you have to find or create alternative data types to support the changes.

Any runtime instances that have been affected that you want to keep rather than kill you'll have to perform surgery on in tables like SWDSWFCONT and repoint the bindings to valid types supported by the data dictionary post-upgrade.

Hi,

We already have this note applied. Anyway, we have the same error also for simple container elements (structures), not only for BOR objects.
If I use the check bindings function in the workflow builder I do not have any error. This is strange.

Hi George,

In relation to binding issue please apply note 1696315 if not already in the system. It is a BOR related note.

Hello,

We are currently testing the upgrade to EHP6 and we have some problems with our already developed workflows.
it seems that there are significant changes in workflow runtime classes, a lot of our enhancements are failing because standard attributes were deleted and we have to change the code. Now we found other problems in WF execution and errors during binding ("Source expression & invalid" when passing an empty object).

Can anyone provide a document/link with the changes done by EHP6 in workflow area? I was not able to find it.

Thank you,
George Caramaliu
