WD ABAP + Workflow ?

Hi pple,
Is there any standard SAP ABAP Web Dynpro Application which is integrated with Workflows?
I mean, is there any Standard Workflow that calls ABAP Web Dynpro Application?
Actually, I am able to call the ABAP WD Application using SWFVISU application, but the only problem is...HOW CAN I SEND DATA FROM WORKFLOW CONTAINER TO WD ABAP ?
Did anyone get to work in this area? If so, can you help me in giving me an idea of how to do this.
I am trying to get the Workitem number from UWL inside my WD Application, but I am unsuccessful...Did any one tried doing this...???
I achieved the same in JAVA WD Applications using
Str_WI_ID = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("WI_ID").
This WDProtocolAdapter extracts the WI number from UWL inside my JAVA WD Application.
Is there any such class in ABAP also which does the same?
Regards,
Raja Sekhar

You can try the following:
* Started from work item?
DATA: t_requester TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF swotobjid,
 l_workitem TYPE swwwihead-wi_id.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <requester> LIKE LINE OF t_requester.
CALL FUNCTION 'SWO_QUERY_REQUESTER'
 TABLES
 requester = t_requester
 EXCEPTIONS
 not_found = 1
 OTHERS = 99.
IF syst-subrc = 0.
LOOP AT t_requester
 ASSIGNING <requester>
 WHERE objtype = 'WORKITEM'.
 l_workitem = <requester>-objkey.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.

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.

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.

Hi Ashutosh,
Can you please send me the documents how did you resolve this issue?

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,
Uma

ABAP Workflow

I am working on Adobe Interactive Forms calling from Webdynpro ABAP.
   I developed a webdynpro based interactive adobe form with a table and 2 other fields displayed in the form. It has various buttons to increase the rows dynamically, save as draft, submit changes. I have a requirement for which I need to trigger workflow when user clicks on submit for approval button.
Here is my requirement details briefly.
1) User will click on Submit for approval button of the form, We will need to capture the form data and trigger the workflow
2)Manager and VP both has to get the e-mail and workitem to his outlook and SAP inbox for approval
    (Here Manager Decision is optional approves or not never mind)
3)After VP's decision , an email notification has to send to the submitter with his decision (like approved or rejected)
4)Status field has to be updated in the custom table with approve or reject status.
It will be great help if you can provide some inputs on how to achieve this functionality.
Moderator message: things haven't changed since yesterday, this forum is for ABAP development (without Web Dynpro), please have a look in the dedicated Web Dynpro ABAP and/or Adobe Forms forums.

Web Dynpro ABAP Workflow Attachment Problem in UWL

Hi,
I am writing a custom application.
A workflow is supposed to start by a Web Dynpro ABAP Application.
The user can attach files to it.
A superior is supposed to review the files and either approve or reject the request.
I tried the following in Web Ddynpro ABAP:
CALL FUNCTION 'EWW_WORKFLOW_START'
    EXPORTING
      X_TASK                       = 'WS90000074'
    IMPORTING
      Y_WORKFLOW_ID       = lv_WF_ID
    TABLES
      X_CONTAINER               = lv_IT_CONTAINER
    EXCEPTIONS
then followed by:
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD'
EXPORTING
    WORKITEM_ID                 = lv_wf_id
    ATT_HEADER                   = lv_swr_att_header
    ATT_BIN                           = Item_FILENAMEATTACHED
    DOCUMENT_OWNER       = SY-UNAME
    LANGUAGE                     = SY-LANGU
IMPORTING
    ATT_ID                              = lv_swr_att_id
The Workflow has onlay one user decision step and one notification Step.
In the user decision step, there is a binding from ATTACHOBJECTS to the task.
But, in the log, you can see the attachment in the Workflow Container of the workflow instance, but you don't see it in the task (neither Inbox nor UWL)
Anyone has a suggestion?

You need to update all task items one by one with the attachment - you need to identify all tasks and attach it to each one

Integrating ABAP workflow in WebDynpro java

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement from the client where I need to add some additional services (Functionalities) to the existing ESS application.
1. The ESS package already contains many standard DC's such as for "Address","Who is Who" etc.Now I am adding a new functionality "Allowances" to that.
2. I am not using FPM based development architecture to acheive the same.Instead the ABAP team has created a workflow ,so that the approvers in this "Allowance" service can get their approval in their UWL.
3. Please help me in finding a sample code or let me know how do I do the same using webdynpro java and integrate it as a service in the standard ESS package.
If anyone has got some documents pls share the same : meet.raj34ATgmail.com
Regards,
Ranjan

Hello Giang,
You will need at least a placeholder object. Have a look at ESS Leave request - WS12300111 - it functions exactly as per your scenario.

Integrating Web Dynpro for ABAP into ABAP Workflow

We have a requirement to create a User Interface via Web Dynpro for ABAP, and use that information to start off a workflow, transferring the data from the Web Dynpro application into the container of the Workflow.
Also later in the workflow, we would like an approval step to invoke a Web Dynpro that displayes the data, and an approve/reject button to be pressed that feeds that data back to the Workflow.
Has anybody done this, or does anybody know how to do this? We do not have the possibilities to use CAF in this project yet.
Kind Regards,
Tony.

Hi,
This is of course possible. Starting the workflow with Web Dynpro or from classic ABAP dynpro doesn't really differ. Just build your web dynpro as you would build a transaction, and from the submitting/execution phase, you just launch the workflow. Launching the workflow can be done with couple of different techniques (=function modules) and it has been discussed many times here.
Also the approval part shouldn't cause any problems. Just build an application which takes as a parameter for example the work item ID (or any other relevant parameter that you can imagine, which you can use to retrieve the needed data that you want to display). Then from the web dynpro application you can call for example a function module, which can complete the work item. Or another option is that you will raise an event (again with a function module), which your approval task is waiting for.
Once again, it isn't really that different from classic dynpro (or any other technique) - the same approaches can be utilized.

Karri
