Work item not executable

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

In my work flow I have a requirement where in I need to add an existing smart form as an attachment to my workitem. For this I have a created a BOR method which will convert smart form otf data to xstring via CONVERT_OTF function module and then pass the return XSTRING file to the function module SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD. I could see the workitem in SBWP but when I try to execute the work item is going error status (Workitem not executable) and when I click on attachment I am getting a pop-up message "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.create an association in the set associations control panel " .Below is my BOR method code and please let me know where I am doing wrong.

begin_method attachment changing container.

Hi,

I also see in SWI2_DIAG the following error messages.

Work item 000001042120: Object DECISION method PROCESS cannot be executed

Method container for work item cannot be created

Method container for work item cannot be created

Unable to instantiate object '_ATTACH_OBJECTS'

Error handling for work item 000001042120

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Srinivas,

Please check the below things.

1. Is the workflow was working fine before the attachment added?

2. If so, then check the Return value of FM, 'SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD'.

3. If it is fine, then in workflow log check whether the workflow container '_ATTACH_OBJECTS' populated corrcetly?

4. Also check the Binding in the Particular Approver Task - ATTACHOBJECTS Binding.

Thanks,

Viji.

Hello,

Try running function 'CONVERT_OTF' separately, it sounds like it doesn't know what to do with PDF files.

Try to get that working first.

Hi Rick,

When I click on the attachment I am getting the error "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing the action.Create an association in the Set associations control panel." But when I check the SAPWORKDIR I could see the attachment saved here if I click on the file and choose a program example pdf. I could see the attachment as desired.

What could be possible reasons for the following errors.

1) Why the attached file is showing an error,when tried to open from a workitem?? While the same file when opened from SAPWORKDIR is showing as desired after selecting a program from the list.

2) Why the workitem is going to the error status 'Not executable'. When a document is attached??

Thanks and Regars,

Srini..

Hi Srinivas,

The way to attaching os incorrect. ATTACHOBJECTS container is the type of SOFM. You need to find the Exact data.

Please follow the below link.

Thanks,

When you display the file, does it have the ".pdf" extension?

[Former Member]

No the file does not have '.pdf' extension.

Hello,

What is that CONVERT_OTF supposed to be doing - converting to PDF or from PDF to what?

to me, it sounds like the file does not have an extension and so the system does not know what program to use. try adding the extension to the file name and see if it works.
