how to trigger a workflow from custom button added to standard webUI application.

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

We have custom workflow developed behind the menu exit button of a standard SAP tcode and it is working fine in SAP GUI. Now we want to use the same workflow template to trigger it from a WebUI platform, we have added a custom toolbar button in the Webdynpro application and on the button event we have to execute the same workflow template. Any idea how to do it?

Hi,

This is one of the F.M which can used to trigger Workflow,whether its in Webdynpro or ABAP.

CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
   EXPORTING
     objtype                       = BUSINESS OBJECT NAME
     objkey                        = Pass B.O KEY value
     EVENT                         = B.O EVENT NAME
*   CREATOR                       = ' '
*   TAKE_WORKITEM_REQUESTER       = ' '
*   START_WITH_DELAY              = ' '
*   START_RECFB_SYNCHRON          = ' '
*   NO_COMMIT_FOR_QUEUE           = ' '
*   DEBUG_FLAG                    = ' '
*   NO_LOGGING                    = ' '
*   IDENT                         =
* IMPORTING
*   EVENT_ID                      =
*   RECEIVER_COUNT                =
* TABLES
*   EVENT_CONTAINER               =
* EXCEPTIONS
*   OBJTYPE_NOT_FOUND             = 1
*   OTHERS                        = 2
           .

Hi Parin,

You can trigger workflow at the button pressed event by using:

 try.
       call method cl_swf_evt_event=>raise
         exporting
           im_objcateg = ls_sibflpord-catid  "Workflow: Object Type 'BO', 'CL' ...
           im_objtype  = ls_sibflpord-typeid "Object Type, Class
           im_event    = iv_event                 "Event Name
           im_objkey   = ls_sibflpord-instid. "Object Key
     catch cx_swf_evt_invalid_objtype into lr_oref.
       lv_msg = lr_oref->get_text( ).
     catch cx_swf_evt_invalid_event into lr_oref.
       lv_msg = lr_oref->get_text( ).
   endtry.
