WF Error - Method cannot be executed

Wed Jun 24 19:41:26 EDT 2015

Hi Sue
Problem may be that it creates the PDF but struggles to figure out where to add the attachment.

Where the attachment is placed depends on it working out the sapoffice folder for the executing user - that can be a bit tricky with batch users if they aren't set up in sapoffice.

Perhaps you could get your abaper to add some checks & workflow exceptions if the pdf doesn't get created & if the document isn't attached.  That would narrow down the problem for you

Hi,

What do you see in SOST/SOSG? Is the attachment present with the email?

Hi,

Nothing in ST22.  The email and PDF attachment are created and attached in the function module and sent from the FM….why would the workflow have a problem with that?

Hi Sue,

I'm afraid it means the workflow fails to create the PDF.

Anything in ST22?

Hi,

It?s me again.

We are so close!!

As a recap?.the function module being called in the method creates a PDF from a smartform, attaches it to an email and sends an email to an internal email address within our company (SAP.Workflow at odfl.com<mailto:SAP.Workflow at odfl.com>)

When we run it via SWO1, the email gets sent with the PDF attached.

When my ABAPer executes the FM in a background job, it sends the email with the PDF attached.

When we have the workflow call the method, it executes without any errors BUT the email gets sent with NO attachment.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you everyone for your response.

The function module contained code to do the process in the foreground and in the background based on how it was called.  So, we made a copy of the FM and with only the background processing in it , ran another test from the workflow and we got passed the error!

Thanks again for your help!

Hi Sue
Ok I'm guessing somewhere its looking for a gui custom control (which requires a dialog user).

If I were you I would go back to your ABAP programmer & get them to run the program in background (ie set up a little batch job) using a userid of the same type as WF-BATCH.  I'm betting their background test might have been done using their own userid as the executing user ...which isn't a true test of backgroundicity ;)

Also a good time to double check the task method is passing all the right parameters.
Good luck

Greetings Wuggers!

We are on ECC 6.0 Rel 731 SP-Level 0013

I am at the end of my rope.  ?  Please help!

I created a BOR background method that calls a Z Function module that creates a smart form, converts it to a PDF and then emails it.

<image007.png>

<image002.png>

<image005.png>

When I test it in SWO1, it works.  When my ABAPer runs the function module in background outside the workflow, it works.

When it is executed in the Workflow it fails with the messages below:

<image001.png>
<image006.png>

<image003.png>

The error message indicates an error in the Control Framework
<image004.png>

We have searched notes, Google?.everything we can think of and cannot figure this out.

We found one place that said to delete the task to method binding?.we did that.

We can tell that the method is not being executed because we put a set container statement to 99 at the front of it and this never gets set.  We get this error too?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
