Sneak preview of Guided procedures ( CAF ) on EP 6.0 and higher

Hi
I am looking to build some prototype workflows on CAF- GP ( Guided procedures ) . I understand that GP runs on enterprise portal 6.0 and higher. Could anyone please forward me the correct link to a sneak preview download of enterprise portal - that comes along with GP ? I tried many links given in weblogs on EPs - but none of them take me to a location wherein I can download the sneak preview of EP 6.0 or higher ...
Please help...

Is there no location on SDN where in I can get a working - sneak preview ( trial version ) download of Enterprise Portal - seems very strange.

  • I need Your Help for CAF/EU/GP/API Guided Procedures

    Hi everyone, I need your help about Guided procedures CAF API, I am developing an WEB DYNPRO Callable Object for Guided Procedures, but I need to get the task name of the running proceess on Guided Procedure once time a user initiated it, if is possible? Do you have an examples?
    Thenk you very much

    Hi,
    Yes you can retrieve the task name of the running process. Here is what you need to do.
    1. Get the process instance - IGPRuntimeManager - > getInstance()
    2. Get the IGPActivityInstance(s) from the process instance - processInstance.getChildrenInformation().
    3. Optionaly check if these child activities are Blocks or Actions. If Block drill further to get the Actions using getChildrenInformation().
    4. Retreive the IGPActionInstance(s) from the Block Activities.
    5. Get the IGPActivity object for these Actions using IGPActionInstance.getTemplate() method.
    6.  This object will have a method getTitle() which will retrive you the activity name.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • Difference b/w various blocks in Guided Procedures?

    Hi experts,
    I am new to Guided Procedures and want to know a few things.
    Can anyone of you tell the difference between the various blocks in GP.
    Or
    Can you give a brief idea about when will we use the different types of blocks in GP?
    1.Sequential
    2.Parallel Dynamic
    3.Precondition Loop
    4.Alternatives
    5.Parallel Block
    6.Post condition loop
    Also, can any one tell me the diff between a Process and a Simple Process.
    Thank You.
    Regards,
    Murthy J N.

    Hi Murthy,
    As we know that CAF Guided Procedures (CAF GP) is a framework for modeling and managing workflows using simple and user-friendly tools. As a part of the Composite Application Framework (CAF), GP enables access to multiple backend systems, consistently combining different types of services and applications into processes.GP supports collaboration, ad-hoc items, and offline task management using interactive forms. It provides role-based access to tools and resources and guidance through the workflows at runtime, thereby helping end users to easily identify and complete their tasks.
    CAF GP enables you to re-use existing services and applications, such as SAP system transactions, remote-enabled function modules (RFCs), CAF Core applications.
    Please check the below links for the different tyoes of blocks available at GP:

  • Guided procedures & WebDynpro (SAP-EU software component)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to develop a Webdynpro component that is going to be used in Guided Procedure (CAF) in 2004s SPS08.
    This snippet is in the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/de/8976417f2d5558e10000000a1550b0/content.htm">tutorial</a>:
    The software component SAP-EU must be imported in your development configuration. In particular, you need the following development components (DCs):
    - caf/eu/gp/api
    - caf/eu/gp/api/wd
    In addition, you need the following DC from the software component SAP-JEE_1:
    - com.sap.security.api.sda
    I do know how to use DC's but where do I get this component SAP-EU from ? I could not find these caf/eu/gp/api etc. components in anywhere in the DC's I have on the local development.

  • Guided Procedures vs ISR

    Hi
    We are trying to automate our internal form processes using SAP adobe interactive forms. These forms must be available online and must be routed to the relevant approvers and processors on submission.
    Can anyone tell the difference between ISR and Guided Procedures and which one is the best to use.
    Regards,
    Michael Mayisana

    Hi Micheal,
    Please check the answers for your queries. I have adding all the info i have.
    1. It doesnt exactly mean that the GP are only for Offline Interactive forms., they r for online too. but better suited for CAF appl. For this case we need, we will take the help of CAF GP i.e. Composite appplication framework GP. CAF GP is a framework for modeling and managing workflows using simple and user-friendly tools. As a part of the Composite Application Framework (CAF), GP enables access to multiple backend systems, consistently combining different types of services and applications into processes. In addition, GP supports collaboration, ad-hoc items, and offline task management using interactive forms. It provides role-based access to tools and resources and guidance through the workflows at runtime, thereby helping end users to easily identify and complete their tasks
    2. As to my implementation the form cannot be rendered on the front-end without any extra web-dynpro development when using GP. Like ABAP Webdynpro iviews can than be integrated with portal. and hence portal is used as front end.
    Pls chk the below link
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0957cb6-5103-2a10-6d9d-a0a4d68c8bf1

    I was seeing this error after upgrading to SP16.  In my case, I was able to fix by the following:
    1.  Login to the portal and navigate to System Administration --> Support --> Portal Runtime --> Application Console
    2.  Select com.sap.km.application and click "Show"
    3.  Refresh the application and restart the two services.
    Hope that helps.

  • UWL Guided Procedures and Substitution Rules functionality -  how possible?

    We are using Guided Procedures with Custom Web Dynpro objects and need to utilize user/role substitution that is easily enabled in other AdHoc tasks using 'Manage Substitution Rules.  Unfortunately when creating and turning ON a substitution rule in the UWL all Guided Procedure Tasks are excluded and do not show up in the substituting person's UWL.
    Does anyone have any ideas of how we can utilize Substitution Rules in UWL for all Guided Procedure tasks/steps?
    Thanks in advance
    -SteveW

    Hi SteveW!
    The situation you're facing is the normal behavior from GP in relation with substitution feature of UWL.
    Unfortunately GP doesn't support substitution as the other UWL connectors do.

  • How to use JCo Provider Service w/Sneak Preview and Test Drive

    I have both SAP Web AS Sneak Preview (6.40) and MiniWas 6.20 Test Drive installed on a single system.  I have implemented a Java server program which can be RFC called from an ABAP program using JCO.
    The only disadvantage to this process is that I must manually run the server program each time I bring up the J2EE system.
    I would like to set things up so that when I start the WebAS 6.40 J2EE system, the server function can be automatically registered (if I'm using the correct terminology - not at all sure about that...).  It looks to me that I should be able to use JCo Provider Service to do what I want to do, but I don't know how to do any of the session bean creation and I esp. can't seem to find out how to run the  J2EE Visual Administrator, which the documentation I've found leads me to believe needs to be used.
    Is there a tutorial, or example, that will lead me through this entire process?  I have the ABAP calling program working OK, and I have the Java JCo server program working ok - I just want to create something in Java that will operate like a good old C Language function installed as an RFM.
    Can anyone help? Is it possible?

    Stefan:
    Well, I guess I'm stuck at the first step.
    As I understand it, I have to use the Visual Administrtor to register the Web AS 6.40 Sneak Preview system as an RFC destination.  When I bring up the Visual Administrator, it has essentially two tabs showing: Dispatcher and Server.  It's inviting me to define a connection and Login.  So, Q1: Is it inviting me to login to the J2EE or the Web AS?  Either way, I am never able to login - I get this error:
    com.sap.engine.services.security.exceptions.BaseLoginException: Cannot create new RemoteLoginContext
    I used all of the NetWeaver sneak preview defaults when installing, and I recorded these:
    Type               Account
    OS User            Compaq-laptop/J2EAdm
    OS User            Compaq-laptop/SAPServiceJ2E
    DB User            SAPJ2EDB
    J2EE Engine User   Administrator
    J2EE Engine User   Guest
    Q2:  Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do with the Sneak Preview system? 
    Or am I trying to connect and logon to the Web AS 6.20 Test Drive (I don't think so...)?  I used the defaults when installing the Test Drive, and have these users:
    BCUSER
    DDIC
    Is it one of these I should be logging onto?
    Also, Visual Administrator wants a port specified on the J2EE Engine connection paramters - what port should I be specifiying?
    Can you get me past this dilemma, Stefan?  Thanks...

  • Web AS 6.40 Sneak Preview: Problems with monitoring Database with SQL Studi

    Hello!
    I'm new with SAP and SAP Web AS, and I installed the SAP Web AS 6.40 Sneak Preview recently. I'm exercizing with the tutorials, and in the Tutorial "Car rental Application", a "QCR_RESERVATION" database is created and deployed.
    The deployment worked fine, but I'm having problems accessing the SAP DB with SQL Studio.
    At first, I didn't find SQL studio in my SAP installation, so I installed it afterwards. I now tried to log on with the data mentioned in the tutorial (localhost, C11, SAPC11DB and "sap"), and got the error "Database not running (-709)". Looking at the SAP Management Console, I found a database with the name "J2E", so I tried this one.
    But now the problem is, that with user SAPJ2EDB and password "sap", I get the error "(-4008) Unknown username and password", and the same error with the combination "control", "control".
    What is my mistake? Could anybody give me a hint? Maybe there is something wrong with my Web AS 6.40 Sneak Preview Installation? I don't remember having changed any settings during installation ...
    Thank you in advance
    Bärbel Wolf

    Dale, thank you very much.
    Your hint really is useful, I know myself, I'd most probably need unlocking my admin user soon. )
    But nevertheless, I'm still looking for the right password for the database user "SAPJ2EDB".
    As I'm encountering problems with the "Quick Car Reservation" tutorial (the entity bean seems unable to access the database, too), I'd like to check the QCR_RESERVATION database with my SQL Studio. Maybe there's something wrong with it.
    Greetings

  • Deleting Process Instances in Guided Procedures of NW CE 7.1

    Hi,
    I would like to ask is there a way to delete initiated process instances in Guided Procedures? I am facing this problem that in my Runtime there are so many outdates process instances (for previous test purpose) remaining, for example:
    - Alerts & Warnings (24)
    - Processes which I own (20)
    - Processes which I oversee (20)
    - Tasks that require my action (17)
    I have found the following article regarding the problem ([Guided Procedures - New and Enhanced Features in SAP NW CE 7.1 EHP1|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/en/87/563934e3f34114901ff69cd041ba38/content.htm]). But it seems that it is only available in EhP1.
    When I navigate to Administration -> Manage Processes -> Find Processes.
    I only can see these 3 buttons: "Change Authorization", "Terminate Instances" & "Complete Step". But without the "Delete Instances".
    Using the "Terminate Instances" did not solve my problem too.
    So I resort to this:
    Guided Procedures Runtime -> Administration -> Maintain processes -> Archiving and Deleting -> Maintain Process Templates -> Global Settings -> Global Settings for Process Instances:
    Completed:
    - Delete (After 1 day)
    Erroneous:
    - Delete (After 1 day)
    Terminated:
    - Delete (After 1 day)
    Still, this did not help me deleting the process instances.
    Could anyone provide me a solution?
    Regards,

  • Back-Navigation in Guided Procedures

    Hello,
    i have got a very large guided procedure. There are loops, sequences and alternatives.
    In each step the user performs an input in a Visual Composer created UI. After each step the data is forwared to an SAP System with a webservice call.
    At the end of the guided procedure the final service is called, which performs checks the input data on the SAP System.
    If it fails, the user has to correct some of the input data he made in the guided procedure.
    But it seems to be impossible to go to a past step in the guided procedure. Everytime i click on one of the past steps it just reports "Action has been completed".
    Is it possible to make the steps back-navigatable? So that the user can re-input the data?
    Greetings

    Hi,
    as per my knowledge, you can,t open the completed action.What you have to do is that you have to send the control to that action again.
    As per My understanding, your process will be like this:
    1) UI page
    2) Web service
    the standered is that The web service will return GDT Log structure in case on any exception. That strucyutre will include the severity of the error. By checking this severity property, you can know whether any exception occured in the backend.
    After Web service action, include one decision action that checks this serveirty. If exception occures, you set the Result state of decision action to the UI page again so that the user again go to the UI page and enters the Data.
    you can go throuh the following Arcitechtechtural documents to understand this.
