BEFORE_ADD2_WF

This user exit can be used to integrate individual checks before a request is inserted into the TM Workflow Monitor. In addition this exit is often used to force users to provide mandatory attributes before they insert a request manually into TM. By default customers force the users to provide that data before the export of a request by using exit BADI_CHECK_BEFORE_RELEASE. As this exit does not help for manually iserted requests, it needs the BEFORE_ADD2_WF here …

Example

Requests of a specific 3^rd party provider may only be inserted, if there is no other request of that provider still waiting to be imported into at least 1 system (To keep things easy, we only check wether there are requests of that provider in the workflow monitor)…

Step 1

Copy the function module /RTC/TM_TMPL_ADD_TO_WORKFLOW
to a new function module

Add the following code:

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <lw_trkorr>.
DATA: lt_req TYPE TABLE OF /RTC/TM_REQ.
* lt_trkorr can only contain 1 record here
LOOP AT lt_trkorr  ASSIGNING <lw_trkorr>.
	IF <lw_trkorr>-trkorr(3) = ‘EXT’.   “SID of the third party dev system
        SELECT * FROM /RTC/TM_REQ INTO TABLE lt_req
		WHERE trkorr LIKE ‘EXT%’.

	IF sy-subrc = 0.
		Lv_retcode = 8.
		Lv_msgtext = ‘Sorry, at least 1 request is still waiting for import”.
	ENDIF.
	ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
