How to access workflow container instance?

[Former Member]

Hi,

    I'm new to workflow. i have created a instance called user_name. i want to change the value of it from outside workflow. There any fm or any classes?

Thanks

Paul's answer is technically correct, but really changing workflow containers is not how workflow should normally work and using WAPIs should be reserved for specific scenarios where standard techniques are insufficient.

Usually changing a value is done by a container operation or event. Better still, the value is part of an object, and the object will change it and Workflow will automatically use the updated value.

There is a step for container operation in the workflow builder, why do you want to change it from outside the workflow template? oh, and Paul already told you the API...
