 How to debug Workflow background steps

o 1782731 - Instructions for debugging background steps


 Generally use “SAP_WAPI_*” FMs for programming purpose

 Start workflow programmatically

FM SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW can be used to start the workflows in general. But when you
need to start event based workflows use FM SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE.

Reason for use SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE Its not possible to initialize container elements
referring to BO or of type SWC_OBJECT

 To create object

Include <CNTN01>

<objRef> of type SWC_OBJECT

<BusinessObject> like BUS2032 for SalesOrder

<BOKey>  Business object key like Sales Order Number

SWC_CREATE_OBJECT <objRef> <BusinessObject> <BOKey>


 Set Element container Element
<Container>  of type TABLE OF SWCONT

swc_set_element <Container> <ElementName> <ElementValue>.

Eg.
swc_set_element wi_container 'ZMARA' object.

 Get Container Element container Element


swc_set_element wi_container 'ZMARA' object.

 Instantiate Container / Call Method of BO

< ContainerName>  of type TABLE OF SWCONT

SWC_CONTAINER <ContainerName>
