HI,

   You can start debugging with putting the breakpoint at the following FMs suggested by Paul from new debugger from menu.

BREAKPOINTS -> BREAKPOINT AT -> BREAKPOINT AT FUNCTION MODULE

You can set a break-point in the function modules Paul mentioned above. Then, perform the action that starts the workflow and see whether either one of those function modules is called. you should also turn the event trace on just in case there was an event that you didn't know about.

If i want to find the source of trigger than by using where used list on above FMs will give lot of unnecessary hits, is there any easy way to pin point the source...................... nyway thanks for your suggestion

Hi,

But did you actually try it? I thought you would be able to narrow down the hit list pretty quickly - especially if it's a custom workflow / custom Z program.

If not, your other option is to use the code inspector (transaction SCI) to search for your workflow template id (eg WS90000010).

Hi,

  If you can't find any triggering events, the it's possible that the workflow is started directly from a program (yuk), or perhaps from a form.

Try doing a where-used search on the function modules SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW, SWU_START_WORKFLOW, SWW_WI_START and so on.
