Why does SAP "reset" values assigned in a binding?

[Stephen3]

Hi All;

I have a Dispute workflow that is working but I am facing an issue that I don't know how to resolve. I have created a binding for a task to map values returned from a class (CL_WF_CONTAINER_COMPLETE-->COMPLETE_OBJECTS to be specific) and it is sort of working. I want to take the values resturned from this task and feed them into a follow on task that e-mails the values returned in the variables (&BUPA_ID& and &BUPA_NAME&).

I have turned on the worlkflow trace and can see the values in set in the "Target_Cont_After_Image" line in the "SWF_BIND AFTER_EXEC" step, but then SAP adds a "SWF_WFM SYNC" step and then does another "SWF_BND AFTER_EXEC" step that resets the value to "< Not Set >". I can't figure out why SAP is doing this.

Also, is there any documentation that explains how to interpret the data returned in the workflow trace and is it possible to use a Debugger to step through the code being executed in a Workflow?

Thanks

Stephen

Hi,

You have to bind the values from method container to task container and afterwards from Task container to workflow container.

This was the problem. The Standard Delivered SAP solution had the method to Task binding set up incorrectly.
