Hello,

For the manual triggering of workflow, we make use of the function modules like SWE_EVENT_CREATE and SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW. As you want to trigger the workflow when a particular button is pressed, you can use the function module SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW in which the only parameter to be passed is the number of the task or the workflow template that you want to start.

Hope this will help.

Hi

Thanks for the quick response ,but my doubt is from which end do we need to define this function module .If it is R/3 side then

And how to instantiate this FM from the portal

any links and documents which gives me a clear idea from both the end (R/3 and from Portal side is helpful)

TIA

Hello,

I am not sure but as far as I know, what you can do is to create a RFC in R/3 in which internally this function module is executed. Then you can call this RFC from the portal.

Hope this will help.

Actually that is bit of double work as all the SAP_WAPI FM's are already RFC enabled.
