Hi,

BO USER has a method UNLOCK.

It uses BAPI BAPI_USER_UNLOCK .

Thanks. Found the BO.

But how can I change the USER in the Container of the WF because all parameters inside the container are greyed out

About which dataflow are you talking?

Method to task or task to workflow ?

Could you please provide a screenshot?

Hi,

how you want to do that depends on that. You can create a workflow with container element USER, where USER is input enabled. Make the workflow as a general task. Give the workfLow no to user. He can run from SWUI passing userid which one he want to unlocked.

To input enable USER elemnet. Double click on the element. go to property tab. Select Input.

After I created a wf with BO USER a container element USER is automatically created. But this element is input disabled.

And when I create a USER container element manually I can´t create a data flow with this element.

Hi,

share screenshot of binding in workflow and task.

Hi,

Hi,

Hi,

Try it.

Yes that´s the problem. I can´t write a user inside. And when I want to search there comes nothing

Hi,

In properties tab input is checked. Just check it.

Yes, in the properties tab input is checked but all objects are not changeable

Hello,

If you want a workflow to unlock a user then generally it would be started with an event which would provide the username to the workflow (as a user object) in the event -> workflow binding.

The step to unlock the user would be a background step, your is not. I would change the Task to be set as a background task.

Or did you want something different?

Hi,

why you require workflow to unlock userid. Do you have any special requirement after certain process user should be unlock. Share exactly what you want.

Hi,

the requirement is to create a workflow that a User can request a "emergency user" and the predefined emergency user should be unlocked and a password for the user should be generated and send to the requester

Hello,

Sure, it can be done.

First you'll need to know how to unlock a user programmatically. Is there a method or function that you have in mind?

Hi,

you can create a workflow with activity step, where you add custom task using custom BO method. In the method you use FM BAPI_USER_UNLOCK to unlock the user and reset the password.

That meens that it must be set a custom BO.

Is there anything with standard?

Unlikely that there's a custom BO. You may be able to find one based on User that you could sub-delegate and add a method to.

Hi,

You need to find out. I don't think there is any Standard BO.

Is there a possibilty to implement the bapi BAPI_USER_UNLOCK in a workflow without programming?

Use the standard BO USER, there are both methods that you need, Lock and Unlock.
