how to instantiate a business object in workflow ?

[Former Member]

reference thread -

Hello Martin,

If we use the first method - of creating the deadline object, how to instantiate the deadline object whenver we want in the workflow ?

As I have included the deadline object in the workflow container, it is already instantiated when the workflow triggers. But I want to instantiate it again later in one of the loops of my workflow template. I dont know how should I do that .

Could you kindly provide guidance for it ?

I have created a new thread for the question.

thank you very much in advance.

Do I have to use the method genericinstantiate of object system ?

Use Macro SWC_CREATE_OBJECT.

Thanks

Hello Rita,

I know the thread is closed but I thought I might add one other way: to save you creating an additional workflow step, you can always assign an initial value to your container element (Initial Values tab). This way it is instantiated automatically when the WF starts.

Obviously this will only work for a key that's always the same. If your deadline object has a key that specifies the amount of days (as per the example in the WF book) then this would work nicely.

Cheers,

Mike

Hi Mike,

I am already using this method for the first time.

But I need to do it again further in the workflow.

So I cannot avoid an additional step.

thank you
