SAP Workflow Agent Determination Tables
When working with SAP Workflow a common requirement is to determine the list of agents used in the workflow.
There is a 3 ways to do it. The first one is to create a custom table and we don’t recommend.
The second way is to join between 4 SAP Workflow Tables based on Work id as there is no direct Sap Workflow Agent Table
| WF Agent Table | Description |
|---|---|
| SWWLOGHIST | History of a work item |
| SWWWIHEAD | Header Table for all Work Item Types |
| SWW_WI2OBJ | Workflow Runtime: Relation of Work Item to Object |
| SWW_CONT | Container Contents for Work Item Data Container |
The third one is based on SAP FMSAP_WAPI_GET_WORKITEM_DETAILS.
