  • SAP ABAP Workflow / CAF - GP Workflow ?

    Hi All,
    Has anyone evaluated SAP ABAP Workflow and CAF GP Workflow?  When would you choose to go the SAP ABAP Workflow?
    Thanks,
    Uma.

    Thanks Pavan.
    The thread that you have linked is about GP getting replaced with BPM over a period of time etc. This is really going to take a while and moreover, in case we want take the route of BPM , we need CE 7.1 EHP1 . We see customer cases where they have NW 7.0 and dont want to invest in CE server for now.
    In such scenarios where you can build workflow solutions in GP in 7.0 version , in what scenarios ABAP Workflow is to be chosen.
    My Question is around - disadvantages and advtages of ABAP workflow.
    Thanks,

    ABAP mapping
    ABAP mappings run on ABAP Stack and are developed in the ABAP workbench of the Integration Server.
    You normally do not need to use the ABAP mappings and is preferable for someone with ABAP programming background. I should say JAVA functions would suffice any complex scenarios.
    refer step by step guides for ABAP Mapping

    Steps required for developing XSLT Mapping
    u2022 Create a source data type and a target data type
    u2022 Create Message types for the source and target data types.
    u2022 Create Message Interfaces includes Inbound Message interface and Outbound Message interface.
    u2022 XSLT Mapping does not require creation of Message mapping, so donu2019t create any Message mapping.
    u2022 Create an .XSL file which converts source data type into target data type.
    u2022 Zip that .xsl file and import it into Integration Repository under Imported Archives.
    u2022 In Interface Mapping choose mapping program as XSL and specify this zip program. (Through search help you will get XSL Mapping programs that you imported under Imported Archives, select your corresponding XSL Program)
    u2022 Test this mapping program by navigating to Test tab.
    By having look at above steps you can easily find out that this mapping is no where different from other mapping programs, here the challenging lies in creating an XSLT file. If you spend couple of minutes in studying XPATH tutorial you would be in ideal position to create an XSL Transformation (.xsl extension).
    If you still find difficulties in generating XSL Transformation, then you can make use of a tool u201CAltova MapForceu201D which will create XSL file for you.
    Steps for creating XSL file using this tool:
    1. Open the Alto MapForce, import the source .xml and .xsd file in it
    2. Similarly import the target .xml and .xsd in MapForce.
    3. These two data files should match with source and target data types in Integration Repository.
    4. Complete the graphical mapping using extensive list of XSLT functions available there.
    5. Save the mapping file.
    6. Click the XSLT tab. You will have the entire xslt logic there.
    7. Copy that content and save it as .xsl file.
    8. Zip above .xsl file and import the same into IR under Imported Archives.
    Hope this clears your doubts

  • ABAP & Workflow for CRM

    Hello  Buddies,
            I have seen so mail threads somewhat near to my doubt but could you please tell me some good link for learning ABAP & Workflow for CRM. Also please advise me, being ABAP-Workflow Consultant which section of CRM is best suitable for me.
    Thanks in advance. Your guidance is appreciated.
    Warm Regards,
    N. Singh

    Hi,
    ABAP    and Workflow for CRM is nothing different and specific to CRM. They are same and at least all the basic concepts are present. There might be some implementation and conceptual differences but they are more of functionality driven.
    You start learning SAP CRM Fucntionality which will help you to understand SAP CRM much better. And then you can have a feel of the CRM feature and where and how it's been used to drive the ABAP and Workflow functionality.
    Hope this helps. You can scan the forum for good links and resources.
    Best Regards,
    Samantak

  • About ABAP Object

    Hello All,
    i have some question about ABAP Object.
    What is the meaning of friend class and singleton?
    Regards,
    Luke

    Hi,
    The addition Friends makes class class a friend of classes classi and or interfaces ifaci.At the sam time, all subclasses of classes classi, all classes that implement one of the interfaces ifaci and all interfaces that have one of the interfaces ifaci as a component interface become friends of class. you have to specify at least one class or interface.
    The friends of a class have unrestricted access to the protected and private components of that class, and can generate unrestricted instances of the class.
    The friends of class are not automatically friends of subclasses of class. the addition Friends does not make class a friend of its friends.
    Thea ddition global is allowed only when you use the addition public for the global class of a class pool at the same time.You can list other global classes and interfaces from the class library after global friends.This addition is generated when the Class Builder creates a global class and you specified friends at the corresponding tab page of the class Builder.
    `
    In the example , classs c2 is a friend of interface i1, and therefore also of the implementing class c1. It can instantiate these objects and access their private component a1.
    interface i1.
    endinterface.
    class c1 definition create private friends i1.
    private section.
    data a1(10) type c value 'Class 1'.
    endclass.
    class c2 definition.
    public section.
    interfaces i1.
    methods m2.
    endclass.
    class c2 implementation.
    method m2.
    data oref type ref to c1.
    create object oref.
    write oref->a1.
    endmethod.
    enclass.

  • Security considerations wrt the ABAP Workflow implementation

    Maybe somebody can comment on this:
    I am an SAP auditor and doing SAP audits. Me and my colleagues always struggle with the security risks imposed by WF-BATCH and the related RFC-destination.
    The question I am interested in is: Why did SAP go for this construction ? Why does Workflow Management require the WF-BATCH user ?
    I do have an assumption here: The user is required as the Workflow Management functionality requires some authorization objects (e.g. S_USER_GRP/02/*) that you wouldn't like to hand out to the users directly. By calling this part of the functionality via the RFC-destination, those authorization objects have to be "handed out" only to WF-BATCH.
    Well - nice assumption, but I have no evidence that this was actually the reason. My knowledge of the Workflow Management functionality is limited and the example I mentioned above (S_USER_GRP) is most probably wrong and not complete anyway as it doesn't state a reason why S_USER_GRP would be necessary.
    Nevertheless it would be important to understand the in's and out's here a bit better in order to arrive at a better understanding of the risk and to trim WF-BATCH authorizations to the unavoidable.
    So if anybody can shed some light on this, please do so ...
    BTW: I am also asking because although I can't believe that S_USER_GRP/02/* is necessary, so far I always found it in real-live WF-BATCH users
    Thanks and regards,
    Ralf Nellessen

    Hi,
    "The calling of the object method for the work item ended with a return value for which no handling is modeled in the workflow." in the workflow log
    This kind of Error comes due to the following reasons:-
    1> There is a problem in the Binding, in which step this Error is Coming. You have Binded the element for which there is no Target Defined. Source is there but no Target is there, so it is unable to catch the data that you want to send through Binding.
    2> It also could be because of Binding Mismatch. The Container elements would not be having the same Data Type.
    "The workflow runtime system has called an application method in a tRFC or background context. A message was processed in this application method. This causes the execution of the workitem to be cancelled in this context."
    This Error can be because of the RFC Settings that are not propoerly configured in SWU3. All the ticks should be green in Colour. Check the same for the Server on which you are trying to trigger the WF.
    For more on WF: Kindly check theses:-

  • BPM or Abap Workflow

    Hi Experts
    I have to implement a Sales Order process for my client.
    Overview of the process which needs to be implemented:
    A company sells xyz product. So the customer places an offer for abc product at some price. The request goes to the sales department's manager who checks the customer demands and accepts/rejects/edits the request according to some rules like mkt price. If he accepts the offer, it becomes the contract for which sales order is created and invoicing is done.
    Company can edit the request, updated the price and sends back to customer. If customer is happy it becomes a contract again for which sales order can be created.
    I need to implement the scenario using webdynpro for abap or java.
    My Question:
    I have implemented such scenarios using UWL and SAP Abap workflows. I am new to CE 7.3 version and BPM concept.
    Experts please guide me which would be the best way to implement such scenario. Should I stick to normal abap workflow method or can I do it through BPM? What would be the challenges if I go by BPM approach.
    Thanks and Regards
    Sonal

    Hi Sonal,
      You didn't specify all the systems involved in this process - i.e. is it one central ERP, multiple SAP and non-SAP? The primary use case for SAP NetWeaver BPM is to orchestrate processes across multiples systems, presenting the user with one central location to conduct their work (UWL) and a consistent user intercace (Web Dynpro).
      If your process only uses one central ERP system for all backend tasks I would (not knowing more details) probably favor a WDA and business workflow based solution. Going outside of the ERP system to implement it wouldn't gain you very much if anything could make your landscape more complicated and create more work. On the other hand, if multiple backend systems are involved this would probably be a good candidate for a SAP NetWeaver BPM based process. Rough generalities, for sure, but you asked :-).

  • Integration of ABAP workflow with portal

    Hello Experts,
    Need urgent help on UWL configuration.
    We have integrated our ABAP workflow with portal through UWL.
    We have a Ad Hoc link in the ABAP workflow which takes us to some transaction. For some reason we are not able to view that link when we see this workflow through portal.
    1. Is is possible to show any Ad hoc links from ABAP workflow into portals?
    2. If yes, what is the process for the same? We did not get any relevant documents.
    Any inputs/sugessions are most welcome.

  • Anything new about abap web dynpro?

    Hi out there!
    (First, I'm sorry: I know, this question is related to Web AS General-forum, but I think, I wouldn't get any answer there.)
    Is there anything new about abap web dynpro? Just saying wait for nw05? No nice preview/minisap/promotion? Perhaps documents in service.sap.com? I read, it is used in some ramp-ups for ecc 05 (neither knowing, what it is). Is there nothing to say about? Is it drag&drop deployment like java webdynpro or more coding like mvc-"Basteln" in abap/bsp? Are BSP-Extensions used there? Something exiting new?
    That are enougth questions for starting.

    Brian McKellar is gonna lock this thread:-)
    Anyway you can find some info about WebDynpro for ABAP in the Teched 2003 presentations in SDN and there is a quite detailed overview with examples in the Online help.
    For the linux version of NW'04 MiniSAP the non-supported version ABAP Dynpro is available....anyway for MiniSAP you don't get support;-)

  • Simple question about Portal Workflow

    Is possible use Portal Workflow in order to use the UWL to inform a task for KM document for Approval process, without a backend connection with a SAP business workflow ??
    thanks in advance.

    thanks Deepa. I solved it.
    the problem was that the iview for "my task" I am using, is different the "my task" iview in eu_role role, and the approval workflow tasks not appear in my iview, and I confuse about de workflow without backend for this cause.
