Trigger a workflow when ABAP program get execute

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I want to know how may i trigger a workflow when abap program get execute & output the result. Using the results ( duplicates found / not) the workflow should trigger the mail according to the results.

How do i implement this using a workflow. Or is there any workflow to do this job done?

ur kind replies highly appreciated.

Note : Excel file sent via lotus mail and validation part done by the abap program to check for the duplicates. Now the requirement is how to trigger a workflow when the abap get executed? If there's any duplicates need to send email notifications. Else have to create material by using BDC program.

It is very much useful if u can guide me step by step.

Regards,

Rashika.

Hi Rashika,

You can use FM SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW to make a call to your workflow in an ABAP program.

In your Abap Program before outputting the results, try to find out if there are any duplicates or not.

If so, set variable flag to "X".

If flag = X,

call the function module SAP_START_WAPI_WORKFLOW where you can pass the workflow template number and the workflow gets triggered.

else

workflow will not triggered.

Try this out.

You can use FM SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT to create an event.

You have to include this in your program though.

this FM has online documentation, or use a where-used on that FM to see how to use it.
