Leave Request application of the ESS

[Sharathmg]

Dear All,

We are facing an issue with Leave Request application of the ESS.

Even though we trigger the workflow template WS12300111(before we used WS20000081) from the ESS, Leave Request there is not data being passed to the workflow.

We confirm the workflow trigger using transaction SWIA, we notice log creation for the transaction in ESS, but with null data(from and to data: 00:00:0000).

Are we missing any configuration?

Also, in the UWL config wizard we updated the configuration.xml by registering the webflow connector system connector.

Appreciate your inputs.

Regards,

Sharath

Hi Sharath,

i) See in the XML file whether the Work Flow ID is there or not. Else add the item type and again upload the new XML configuration file.

ii) Check in tcode SWFVISU whether WF task is added.

The configuration XML has our workflow ID(12300111).

What item type needs to be added to the XML file? updateLaunchHandler?

In SWFVISU, we have 'ws' task and 'ts' tasks related to the workflow.

Maybe you require, But to trigger WF above customisation is sufficient, You dont need Abaper but a HR consultant

Out of context to this issue,

Is UWL configuration necessary to trigger the Business workflow?

[siddharthrajora]

No custom badi is required to Start a WF

Process using WF in the table should checked, You need to double click the absence !!

WF ID of New Request 12300111

WF ID of Cancellation Request 12300111

WF ID of Change Request 12300111

This is what you ll enter the WF

[Sharathmg]

The WF ID for New Request, Cancellation, Change is configured as 12300111 for Annual Leave and not for other leave types. However, for soem types, it is configured for WD ID for creation.

There has been a suggestion from the ABAP team to create custom code to handle the values instead of the BADI.

Have you configured the absence type with the WF in table

V_t554s_Web? Also do the customisation as in 779075.

Check your customisation in PTARQ

[Sharathmg]

I have performed the necessary entries as per the note 779075.

In the table V_T544S_WEB table, there are 5 entries related to type of leave. But, no mention of WF?

Meanwhile, there is a breakthrough as using the external brkpoint we ascertain that data is moved into the Workflow BADIs but for some reason its not reflected in execution of workflow.

Can you throw some light on it? Should we write custom code for part of leave functionality i.e., write custom BADIs?

Thanks.
