How do the Program exits in Workflow work?

hi all,

there is a Program Exit available in Workflow tasks...and it says

You can execute additional methods that you have programmed when predefined events occur. Add the ABAP classes that contain these methods. The ABAP classes added must support the IF_SWF_IFS_WORKITEM_EXIT interface.

now i want to use this program exits in my workflow...so that this program exit(which is basically a class) will take input from Workflow container and gives back processed data <b>back to workflow</b>.

so how to go about with these Program exits.

thanks,

subba

Hi Subba,

To my knowledge these are like User exits which helps you to add certain features to the activity which is already been created. This would require if you are doing changes to already created Activity or step whatever.

In your case instead of creating a method you could create a task to which you can pass values and get the processed datas from them instead of creating a class and a method which makes your process complicated.

Hope this should have helped you.

Thanks,

Prashanth
