WebDynPro and Workflow Link

Hi,
I need to know how are WebDynPro applications linked with SAP Workflows.
Configurations settings involved, Main tables, Components, Batch jobs, Class and the method etc...
Basically, I want to understand, say I have Workflow and want it to be run thru a Web Dynpro Application what all things would be involved from Workflow and WebDynPro side.
I have seen tasks in Workflow which uses class CL_HRASR00_WF_COMPONENTS and has method WI_EXECUTION_VIA_R3_INBOX.
When I checked this method, there's no code written except an error exception where if user tries to open workitem thru SAP instead it would throw an error saying that it should be opend from portal.

Hi Aditya,
When we talk about workflow for webdynpro application, workflow event should trigger from webdynpro application ( I mean from some button action ..)
In my webdynpro application our workflow consultant written only piece of code to trigger the workflow event. no more settings like assigning wrkflow id to Standarad transactions( regular workflow ).
call function 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
    exporting
      objtype           = objtype
      objkey            = objkey
      event             = event
      creator           = creator
    importing
      event_id          = evtid
    tables
      event_container   = lt_cont
    exceptions
      objtype_not_found = 1
      others            = 2.
  if sy-subrc = 0.
    commit work and wait.
  endif.
I have shared the information which I have,It may help u.
Thanks and Regards

  • Webdynpro and workflow

    HI ,
    developed one webdynpro component it seems like claim form.
    When the employee save that entries in that form and submit it . it has to go to manager approval and he has to enter the some values like registration no etc.... How to send the webdynpro application in a mail to the manager. And there is one more issue. if the manager reject's that form it has to go to employee. Can you please guide in this issue? How to configure in portal to view the in ESS.
    *Thanks in Advance.*

    Hi Sapabap229,
    I think it would be the best if you can develop a model class which handle business logic including workflow handling and test it first. In web dynpro component, use this class as an assistant class and call to trigger workflow. By doing this you can test each parts of your code separately.
    For workflow handling you can use FM  as suggested or [ABAP class for workflow |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/e038cc2d-0cde-2a10-e28e-f50025578112]

  • Linking between organizational unit and workflow

    Hi
    I have created my organizational unit and workflow.
    Can anyone tell me how to link workflow with organizational unit?

    Hi Azra,,,
             You can link oraganisational unit and workflow by specifying the  organization unit name in the task screen.....
               Assgin values:
             Recipient type = organisational object.
             Then Select Position from Drop down list and then select the
             organisational number with f4 help.
    Simillarly assing the abbrevation of the task of workflow to the Oranisational
    plan position.
    If answer is suitable do give points.

  • Send Workflow email to User SAP Inbox with a Popup and cproject link

    Hi,
    I am working SAP portfolio and project management workflow.
    Requirement: Trigger workflow when Portfolio Execution Decision Point status changes,
    We have to send two email notifications as part of the requirement;
    First notification should go to user’s (Only one user) SAP Inbox, Containing two links
    Popup link (It will contain list of question which the user has to confirm) if he
    confirms we have to send second  email notification. (Pop-up layout is attached)
    Link for the user to navigate to SAP PPM cProject to upload the documents. (NWBC)
    The second notification should go to Outlook of the users (via group email) with Link for the user to navigate to SAP PPM cProject.
    We can trigger the workflow using event DECISION_POINT_STATUS_CHG in Class CL_RPM_DECISION. My question is how should design the pop-up and incorporate the Pop-up and cproject link in first notification email sent to user SAP Inbox.
    Please let me know if you need more details.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Amit Singh

    We use transaction NWBC to login to netweaver business client. Then from there we navigate to Project management view and double click to select the project. It opens project element --> Collaborations tab. There we select the folder link. (screenshot attached)
    Regarding addition of multiline container element (Table) let's say 'A'; I create multiline container element A in Workflow element list, Populated  element A using a utility class/method assigned to a background task.
    Then, I created a user decision task, inside the task container another multiline container element 'B' with same type and I did binding b/w workflow container element 'A' and task container element 'B'.
    Now, I am passing &B& in the decision task description. If I execute the workflow, The user decision task description is blank.
    Secondly, I did not get any pop-up asking how to display it (all lines with line break).
    PS: My internal table also has only one field.
    Am I doing something wrong here?

  • Displaying both ABAP webdynpro and Java Webdynpro tasks in the UWL

    Hi,
    We have two an issue when trying to get the UWL to process two different types of workflow tasks : ABAP webdynpro and Java webdynpro. 
    Examples of these tasks are:
    TS12300097 u2013 LeaveRequestApprover u2013 Java Webdynpro
    TS17900100 - ASR_PROCESS_EXECUTE u2013 ABAP webdynpro
    We have two backend systems configured
    SAP_ECC_Financials u2013 This has the WAS host pointing to the java stack (xxx:50000)
    SAP_ECC_Workflow u2013 This has the WAS host pointing to the ABAP stack (xxx.80xx)
    In transaction SWFVISU all the tasks which use Java webdynpro have been configured to use the u2018Javau2019system (SAP_ECC_Financials) using the SYSTEM_ALIAS parameter
    In the UWL configuration the system SAP_ECC_Workflow has been registered
    In addition to this all u2018Javau2019 tasks have had an extra UWl config XML created to ensure that the SYSTEM_ALIAS is set to SAP_ECC_Financials
    The system SAP_ECC_Workflow has been re-registered
    The UWL cache has been cleared
    However when we try to launch the java webdynpro tasks the system is trying to access the ABAP stack (It is still trying to access the Web AS location for the system SAP_ECC_Workflow even though the system alias was specified as SAP_ECC_Financials )
    The ABAP webdynpro tasks (in this case a HCM process and form) are launched correctly
    If we try the reverse (i.e  register the Java system SAP_ECC_Financials and change the SYSTEM_ALIAS parameter for the ABAP webdynpro tasks to system SAP_ECC_Workflow)  then the reverse happens.  The java tasks can be launched and the ABAP tasks cannot.
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem.  Surely other people have implemented both ABAP and Java webdynpro workflows?
    Any help much appreciated
    Andrew

    Thanks  a lot for all your replies..
    The workitem type registration has been done already, but still it doesn't work..
    But here is the actual problem...
    There is a link 'Execute Workitem' in the inbox of the approver, or the second level manager...
    In the leave application, when we click on this link it is taking to the portal as the task is the Webdynpro Java application task. Whereas, when using ABAP webdynpro application task, it is taking to R/3 - which means that the user cannot access this link without R/3 access. The users are given only portal access, they don't have access to backend R/3.
    The requirement is that the link has to take the user to portal directly instead of R/3 - i.e it should ask only for the portal id and password.
    Since it was working fine with leave application, I changed the task to Java webdynpro task, but I think the Java Webdynpro application is not deployed in the server.
    Please can anybody suggest.
    Best Regards,
    Sushmitha

  • Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

    Dear Community Friends,
    We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
    We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
    Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
    I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
    I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
    Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
    Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
    For Custom Forms,
    Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
    Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
    ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
    Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
    For custom workflow upgradation,
    Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
    Workflow Upgrade
    Workflow Upgrade
    For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
    Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
    Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
    Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
    Please correct me,if i am wrong.
    1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
    2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
    3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
    4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
    5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
    this will generate the .fmx's.
    frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
    Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
    6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
    As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
    Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
    As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
    Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
    So,i am not clear on this.

    So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
    For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).

  • Document Upload into Webdynpro and transfer to SAP R/3?

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a requirement to offer a Document uploading option through Java webdynpro screen.
    I have referred the below link
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00062266-3aa9-2910-d485-f1088c3a4d71
    which has the steps till uploading the document into Webdynpro
    And also I need to offer an option of listing the attachments(that have been attached by the end user into to the JAVA webdynpro form) with the DELETE option ,How to do that?
    Now my requirement is to pass the document into SAP R/3? is there any RFC for that?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Dharani

    Hi Dharani,
    If we want to add Excel into Java webdynpro screen, then we are trying to create a table with invidual cells. This can be easily possible at Java Portal Perspective using Jakarta HSSF POI API.
    But we require at Webdynpro so , we can use the Context  feature available at Webdynpro to load the table. now we can load the table data into an excel and we can display it to end users in the form of Excel..
    to achieve this functionality pls use the below link
    Exporting table data to MS-Excel Sheet(enhanced Web Dynpro Binary Cache)
    Just in case if u need to achive through Portal Perspcetive in NWDS pls use this.
    Create an excel file from JAVA using HSSF api
    the advantage of these two methods is we can create mutable tables i.e. each cell of the table is accessable and can be modifed with using the code.
    Hope this will be helpful.

  • Queries related to DMS and Archive link

    Hi Experts,
    1. Is it possible to link documents in MIGO or FB03 through Archive link with documents already stored via OAWD or CV01N.
    2. Can we use any single transaction code for reporting purpose where we can find all the documents stored via DMS and Archive link.
    Kind Regards,
    Vikas

    Hi,
    Christoph already answered that question in regard to document info records.
    Regarding documents from OAWD, your question is a bit surprising. The main idea of OAWD is to trigger a workflow for linking an external document to a SAP object (document in FB03 or whatever). This is done via ArchiveLink, so all documents linked via OAWD will appear in transactions like MIGO or FB03. Once more, please refer to the documentation:

  • Importing Development Component - Webdynpro and Guided Procedures

    Hi All,
    I created a development component project of type  "Webdynpro". I created callable Object in guided procedures and the Process is working fine. I want to import the same project into another Nwds (another workspace).
    I tried the following steps.
    1. File - import - Multiple Existing project into workspace.
    2. Imported the DC.
    I have already added all the Gp jarfiles. But after importing, and rebuilding the project, it gives me only webdynpro and components,views.. It is not showing me as a normal webdynpro project. It is not showing me the GP Api's, the "USED DC's". which i created in the other project.
    When i am creating a new project, it is working fine.Can anyone please help me in resolving this issue? How can i import a DC (gp) into webdynpro?

  • ABAP with Webdynpro or Workflow

    Hi ALL,
    I am a fresher to SAP working from past 8months. Till now I did only one project that is a Upgrade project from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 and I wonder how will my career goes if it is like this. Please suggest me to move into some other technology Like WebDynpro or ABAP Workflow. How will be the future for these two things.
    Please advice your valuable comments.
    Thanks In Advance.
    Manasi.

    ABAP is very good plaftorm which SAP gifted to US.
    Try to learn cross platform technologies that are Wokflow.  Webdynpro. I would say Both are good and very Insteresting.
    Since you are already in ABAP try to do coding for all your objects in Object Oriented ABAP. So that once you are familiar with OOABAP it will be very easy to you to learn WebDynpro. Workflow is nothing but a automated process for the activity that a person or bussiness needs to do. it is just a automatic process like sending mails when a PO is created... etc
    It is very easy to learn and you can always learn multiple things at a time.
    Hope this helps

  • Logical flow between User forms and workflows

    Hi,
    I want to know the logical flow among jsps,UserForms and workflows in IDM.
    This may appear as a silly quest. But I want to know how exctly the workflows are getting excuted when we click the buttons on the forms....
    For eg While creating the user after gving the user details in Tabbed User form when we click on save how it is calling Create User Workflow....
    where is the link and how its happening.....
    If any one know this please reply me....this a quest remaining in my mind since so many days....
    Thanks in advance....

    I dont think, there is any xml codes in any of the forms for calling workflow. One needs to render a form for any workflow. Whenever you hit new User , the create user workflow gets initiated and the form and the default form for create user is Tabbed User Form. activities and forms are mapped according to the authorisation level. If you create any Admin role, then we need to specify a form for the admin's capabilities. I guess for configurator , to create a a new user, the form has to be Tabbed User Form by default. For a custom Lanch user process, one needs to include a form along with the workflow. We can do that. Thats what I know till date.
    Thanks,
    Manila

  • RPE-02083 again with OWB and Workflow

    Hi,
    We're having this problem once again. The last time we had to completely delete all our mappings, process flows, etc. and rebuilt them. This is very annoying ! And we don't have time to do this everytime we modify our OWB mappings. I opened a SR for OWB, but it seems that the problem is with the workflows. Any idea how we can find a decent solution...

    Hello
    Its sad I can't find this thread searching here with "RPE-02083". Keywords to webmaster: Fulltext search, "LIKE", ... But luckily we have Google... ;)
    Concerning your problem we were experiencing the same for about a week:
    RPE-02083: Process WF_DMTRZ_BILANZD_DIGIS has errored Activities. Dependent objects may not have been deployed. You can use Oracle Workflow Monitor to retry the activities or abort the process.
    If you are working with more than one Design Repository and deploying the same Processflow or Mapping with different UOIDs you will run into this error message. Tough deployment was fine and all objects are valid in the DB, OWB checks on starting the workflow all dependencies by UOID, as I assume, and not by object name. So in situations where a started Processflow expects a mapping to be started and the UOID is different than expected you get the RPE-02083.
    A SQL script accessing the runtime/WF repository showing missing links (by UOID) would be helpfull here, but I guess it needs a lot of experience to create such a script.
    Hope this information can help your problem.

    Workflow is a more basis related component. This component allows you to configure SAP system to trigger the mail straight to the Inbox of the manager. It can be related to approval of PR or PO or it can be of anyother purpose. The main purpose is the manager need not to login GUI screen for approval. He could select the approval button in his outlook mail(This mail will contain complete details of purchase order), it will automaticall update in SAP back end.
    Workflow will be per Business object. BO can be PR, PO etc.It is possible to set the event by when the workflow should trigger. For example it should trigger when the purchaser creates a PO and saves it . The saving action is called event. After the event is triggerred system will check for the starting conditions. It is possible to define starting condition per workflow. It is like your release strategy. If the value of PO is less than 1000 then it should be approved by one manager, if values >1000 then it should undergo approval from 2 managers.
    There are plenty of predefined workflows which could be used straigt according to the purpose expected.However workflow is delicate and has to be configured with utmost care in proper sequence to avoid in consistencies.

  • MSS and workflow integration--Adobe forms

    Hi ,
    Can anyone send me some links on Workflow integrartion with MSS . I am looking out for MSS integration with Adobe forms ..
    Regards

    Hi Peter
    This is probably more of a Forms question than workflow. At a very high level, in Apps, the workflow browser session is actually launched from a Forms session, some kind of socket connection is actually passed to the workflow session, so that when opening the new Form, it is opened in the existing applet.
    Cheers

    Hi,
    we are building an application with web-enabled Forms 9i and Workflow 2.6.2 on Oracle 9i - and have an integration issue.
    We want to include a link to Oracle Forms within a workflow notification so that the user can go directly to a particular screen in our Forms application. Including a URL to our forms application will invoke a new Forms applet on the client, but can we go to a new form in a Forms applet that is already running?
    I've seen others ask the question in the forums but haven't seen any definitive responses. Oracle eBusiness Suite seems to have something like this - does anyone know how it was done and is it possible in stand-alone Workflow?
    Any info. would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Peter
