Start Event in workflow not working using CL_SWF_EVT_EVENT=>RAISE

[juliusku]

Hello Everybody,

I have been working on this for a couple of days and this is my first time doing WF. I think I have gone far but now I am struggling here.

The problem is that I cannot run the workflow raising an event. I don't get any message on debugg, but when I use SWUE It works perfectly and I see it on SWI1.

I don't even get any error during debugg:

I appreciate the help

Thanks,

I created a WF with a START EVENT that should trigger from the class:

This is how the WF START Event looks like with the bindings:

This is how my class looks like and I already added the code for all the IF_WORKFLOW methods:

Here is the code for the program i created to call my class TRIGGER_START_WF:

SPAN {
font-family: "Courier New";
font-size: 10pt;
color: #000000;
background: #FFFFFF;
}
.L0S33 {
color: #4DA619;
}
.L0S52 {
color: #0000FF;
}
.L0S55 {
color: #800080;
}
.L0S70 {
color: #808080;
}

REPORT zwftestjkl.


DATA: lr_wf TYPE REF TO zcl_plant2.

DATA: lv_werks TYPE werks.

lv_werks = '0010'.

CREATE OBJECT lr_wf

  EXPORTING

    plant = lv_werks.


CALL METHOD lr_wf->trigger_start_wf

    .

Here is the code for the TRIGGER_START_WF method:

SPAN {
font-family: "Courier New";
font-size: 10pt;
color: #000000;
background: #FFFFFF;
}
.L0S31 {
font-style: italic;

Hello Julius,

Have you done linkage in Tcode SWE2 for your class and workflow template . And also on event trace and run tcode SWEL to check your workflow triggered or not .

Hi,

Some where in your binding definitions I see that there is no binding definiton between WFID event container element to any of the workflow container element. I assume it could be because of the missing binding definitions.

Thanks,Pavan

hi,

Also you check the parameter WFID and I_CL_PLANT is same name or not?

Humm

May be you should start the event trace in SWELS and try then check in SWEL if something was raised

Cheers

Hello Julius

Check the methods lpor & find_by_lpor are working correctly

In particular check your class attribute that persists the lpor value is formulated correctly & contains the correct content at runtime ... ie with class, class id, and object key - not just plant number

Make sure you have read and applied all of the ABAP OO for workflow blogs.

If you skipped anything take another look.

Also check also in Txn SM58 & ST22 in case something else is going on

Good luck

Rgds
