Add attachment to decision step?

[former_member193107]

Hi,

Is there a simple way to create an attachment to the workdecision task ?

Scenario

I have a workflow that was triggered by a Requested event of ADDRESSEMP object model.

This event is trigger whenever user change an address in the ESS system.

But now I need to send the the approval a workflow decision with an attachment that contains

the new address information.

What I've done.

1. I create a new method in ADDRESSEMP object that called AttachDoc, with the code below

include <cntn01>.

DATA:
       it_solix_tab TYPE solix-line OCCURS 0,
       v_wa_solix      TYPE solix,
       v_att_id        TYPE swr_att_id,
       v_att_header    TYPE swr_att_header,
       v_xstring       TYPE xstring,
       v_workitemid    TYPE swr_struct-workitemid,
       v_input_length  TYPE wsrm_error-wsrm_direction,
       v_filename      TYPE swr_att_header-file_name,
       v_docname_only  TYPE swr_att_header-file_name,
       v_doc_extension TYPE swr_att_header-file_extension,
       v_reltyp        TYPE breltyp-reltype VALUE 'ATTA',
       v_msgtyp        TYPE sofm-doctp VALUE 'EXT',
       v_swc_object    TYPE swc_object.

TYPES: BEGIN OF t_message_key,
       foltp TYPE so_fol_tp,
       folyr TYPE so_fol_yr,
       folno TYPE so_fol_no,
       doctp TYPE so_doc_tp,
       docyr TYPE so_doc_yr,
       docno TYPE so_doc_no,
       fortp TYPE so_for_tp,
       foryr TYPE so_for_yr,
       forno TYPE so_for_no,
      END OF t_message_key.

DATA: v_message_key TYPE t_message_key,
       v_doc_size TYPE i,
* Changes for Excel
       v_bytes_read TYPE i,
       v_temp_bytes_read TYPE i,
* End of Changes for Excel
       v_tab_lines TYPE i,
       v_offset TYPE i,
       i_split LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF soli WITH HEADER LINE,
       v_length TYPE i.

CONSTANTS: c_slash VALUE '/'.

swc_get_table container 'IT_SOLIX_TAB' it_solix_tab.

* get the input values
swc_get_element container 'V_WORKITEMID' v_workitemid.
swc_get_element container 'V_INPUT_LENGTH' v_input_length.

   CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING'
     EXPORTING
       input_length = v_input_length
     IMPORTING
       buffer       = v_xstring
     TABLES
       binary_tab   = it_solix_tab.

   v_att_header-file_type      = 'B'.
   v_att_header-file_name      = 'Address'.
   v_att_header-file_extension = 'PDF'.
   v_att_header-language       = sy-langu.

   CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD'
     EXPORTING
       workitem_id = v_workitemid
       att_header  = v_att_header
       att_bin     = v_xstring
     IMPORTING
       att_id      = v_att_id.
* pass attachment id and internal document number for SOFM
   swc_set_element container 'ATT_ID' v_att_id.
   swc_set_element container 'SOFM'   v_att_id-doc_id.

The parameter of this function is Table.

2. I created a simple workflow

3. I created a new container for ADDRESSEMP

But I'm lost with the data binding. Could somebody please help? I just need a simple ways to create attachment in the user decision

Thanks,

Sammy

Hi Sam

Are you adding first the attachment to the workflow container ?

What I have for instance done in one example is used TS48907979 to wonvert an office document into an SOFM document then add it to an GO_SOFM container element of the workflow

Then you create your own copy of the decision task and add the container IO_SOFM

and you do the binding from workflow container GO_SOFM to IO_SOFM

So as soon as you have your workflow container element in the form of SOFM it is quite straight forward

Cheers

Hi,

  Can you please directly try to bind to task container &adhoc_objects&
