BPEL workflow and ECM Workflow

Hi,
I am wondering about a way to integrate BPEL workflow with ECM Workflow!!
Regards,
BISO

It is possible.
At the oracle open world, there was a presentation about it.
At that presentation they used a component where you could define a BPEL process and by one little line of code,you could call that proccess from within a stellent workflow.
I don't know if that component will be released or where you can download it. If you wish, i could send you an e-mail with the component and the doc so you could try it out

Oracle ADF and ECM workflow

Hi,
I'm looking for ideas on how to implement this which will involve using Oracle ADF and ECM Workflow.
1. Oracle ADF App that will check-in an item into ECM.
2. Using Oracle ECM workflow, an email is sent to the manager that a item has been checked in and is ready for review. The manager access the ADF app , clicks on a "Awaiting approval" and reviews the doc(in an iframe), makes comments(if possible) and then approves it in which case it is published or rejects it in which case it sent back to the employee.
3. I found a similar posting to this Re: Custom pages at each workflow step in UCM
Thoughts, ideas?
Thanks.

Everything, from checking in, to get a list of approvals, is available by services. You can call the service from an ADF and use the result of that service as a dataset to use in a table. In the administration menu, there are WSDL descriptors for each part for example the check in service, the search service, the workflow service,...

Difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow

Hello guys,
Is there any difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow?
Are there others workflows types in SAP?
In all SAP Workflow Courses (BIT600, BIT601, BIT603, BIT610) only was talked about SAP Business Workflow, and nothing about CRM Workflow.
Thanks a lot!
Kleber

Hello Kleber,
There is not much of the differance between CRM workflows and SAP Business workflows..
Workflows are esentially part of Basis (BC) components and hence its the same across all SAP products as all these products have components of Basis(BC) in them...
To Conclude, SAP Busines workflows and CRM workflows are the same things... However when you work on CRM, the BOR objects would be belonging to CRM and not to ECC... However conceptwise , there in no change at all.. If you learn BIT100......, you can also work on CRM workflows..

SAP Business Workflow and The Workflow Reference Model

Hi Experts,
I try to map the Business Workflow with the Workflow Reference Model of WfMC.
Interface 3 represents the communication of SAP's Workflow Engine with "Invoked (external) Applications".
My Questions are:
- which applications, tools can be invoked (Webservices, Group Ware Products)
- and which component realizes Interface 3?
(can I say that interface 3 is realized with different steps like web-activity,
or the normal activity-step (WebFlow Service Handler) ? )
Or is there a certain technology that is representative for realization of interface 3 ? e.g. WfXML or SOAP?
Thanks in advance

CRM Workflow and ERP Workflow integration

Hi,
I need to get workflow to work across several modules. One example is that I have some actions that needs to be completed in CRM, and when that has finished I need to trigger a workflow in ERP to continue the processing. How can I send information from the CRM workflow to the ERP workflow, and status message back to CRM? I have been looking at Wf-XML options, but that seems to be across http communication only.. these systems can be on the same server. Can anyone give me some tips on how this can be done? Help is greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Thomas

Hello,
My suggestion is to trigger the events with a RFC of a Function module.
Program the Function module in the ERP system and enable it as RCF function. In this module program the trigger for the prefered object.
In the CRM workflow call a background method of the corresponding object which triggers the Function Module in the ERP system.
Another solution could be that the action which was taken in CRM leads to a replication in the ERP which already triggers a standard event.
Hopefully above guides you to a solution.
Kind regards,
Peter

Adobe livecycle workflow and SAP workflow

dear all,
              i am working in a new development project which is yet to be started.according to my client's description,the project deals with adobe forms with SAP as backend.
              i have studied and worked for one month on adobe livecycle forms and i have some knowledge about its products.but i didnt work on any SAP system.my doubt is that
      "WE HAVE ADOBE LIVECYCLE WORKFLOW IN THE WHOLE SUITE OF LIVECYCLE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS,WHICH CAN BE USEFUL TO BUILD WORKFLOWS AND IMPROVE BUSINESS PROCESSES WITH THE HELP OF BAM.BUT WHEN ADOBE FORMS AND ADOBE FORMS MANAGER ARE INTEGRATED IN SAP..WILL THE ADOBE WORKFLOW BE PRESENT AGAIN?OR IS IT GOING TO BE THE SAP WORKFLOW WHICH DEFINES THE BUSINESS PROCESSES AND INITIATES THE PROCESSES?? ALSO IF IT IS SAP WORKFLOW THEN WHAT IS THE NEED OF INTEGRATING ADOBE WITH SAP WITHOUT ADOBE LIVECYLE WORKFLOW.??
        i am looking forward for any answers from ppl.plzz help me out from this doubt.
                      regards..
                                                               raghava kumar v.s.s.

Hi Raghava,
correct, there are currently no plans to integrate Forms Manager into SAP although we have no alternative solution within SAP, i.e. you'd have to build something like Forms Manager for your purposes.
To get a general overview on the SAP integration, start here: <a href="http://sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms">http://sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms</a>
You need NetWeaver, because the Adobe functions are part of it. Web Dynpro is one of the environments that have Adobe forms functions integrated, it is the most suitable one for interactive scenarios.
We may have a different idea of what SAP is. To me, SAP comprises the business data in the ERP/CRM/etc. system and the technology components such as NetWeaver etc. Perhaps that's the misunderstanding.
Best,
Markus

SAP Workflow and GRC 10.1 Workflow

Hi all,
We are in the midst of upgrading our GRC system up to 10.1 and some questions are coming up about the workflows. In short are GRC workflows and SAP workflows the "same thing", i.e. if someone outside of the upgrade project were to learn how to create/maintain workflows within GRC 10.1 would they be able to turn around and run the same transactions within an ECC 6.0 environment and create SAP Business workflows? From what I have seen so far in my searching is that, they have the same basic principle but very different implementation/maintenance.
Any documentation that you are aware of from SAP showing this would be helpful as well.
Thanks

The basic mechanism is the same, but the GRC workflows are more fixed (they leave less room for the workflow to be changed) have build in screens, and relay on the BRF engine to determine approvers etc.
Workflows in the ECC give you a lot more room for implanting the workflow however you wish (use a decision task, asynchronous tasks, develop your own custom approval screen etc.) and some time required you to implement changes to the workflow object (set a user status, release a document etc.) and don't usually use the BRF.
So I would have to say that the answer is no, someone who learned how to implement the GRC workflows will not be able to turn around and immediately create workflows in the ECC.

EHp4 NEw ECM Workflows not trigerring from portal

CL_HRECM00_WORKFLOW_EVENT This is the class used to trigger the workflow and the workflow templates are
WS04000022
WS04000023
WS04000024
WS04000025 and these are having only notification steps and wait for events.
When we do the test Run in R/3 events gets triggered and workflow is running sucessfully but from the portal Event is not trigerring to start the Workflow.
please guide.
Thanks,
Amar

Hi
Please provide the steps taken in Portal to reproduce the issue
I think the problem could be missing configuration in UWL configuration file which is uploaded via
System Administration -> System Configuration -> Universal Worklist
and Workflow -> Universal Worklist Administration.
I am not sure how UWL team delivers this code for new work items - its possible a CSS message is needed to investigate this
Thanks

Differences in Oracle Service Bus, BPEL and human workflow

Hi Everyone,
I am newbie, don't know if its the right place to post this thread.
I want to prepare paper on differences in Oracle Service Bus, BPEL and human workflow, can anybody help me.
Till now i came to know all these things are very different, no poit comparing them but still need differences
Thanks in advance:
Vikas

Basic difference:
BPEL : It is used for orchastrating different processes. Its heavyweight and stores instances (stateful)
OSB : It is used for routing data between the applications
Human Workflow : It is used to handle scenarios where manual intervention is necessary.
Refer for more on Oracle BPEL

Custom BPEL Workflow and Content DB

Hi,
I am trying to register my custom BPEL workflow and trying to run from ContentDB default site, I can see that request in my request report but I can not see that process in BPEL Console.
1) Is there any place I can see logs?
2) Any good documentation apart from B31268-02 Admin Guide?
It just opens my worklist application

Jigar

Hi Anand,

Aging BPEL PM to force workflow tasks to expire

I need to be able to age the BPEL PM server in order to force tasks to expire in minutes/hours rather than the waiting 90 calendar day period. 1) Does BPEL PM use the system time as a reference? ie Could I age the server with a java time machine environment? 2)Can anyone point me to an "approved" method of aging workflows for system and end to end test purposes?
Thanks,
Kelaman

You could cancel a outstanding workflow. This means you could write your own code in BPEL, that cancels the workflow depending on your rules. Cancelling can be down by accesing the HumanTask Enging with a different operation. See the WSDL of your HUmanTask which operation you could use.
Cancellation is done based on the TaskID that is returned after human task is created.

Difference between Guided Procedures and Business Workflow?

Hi,
I'm new to workflows, so this question could be easy or absurd.
Is there a difference between Guided Procedures and Business Workflows? Or is this
the same thing with two names?
If it is different, when do I use which of them?
Could both use UWL?
Thanks a lot

Workflow is a technology used to support business processes. You can make workflows without thinking/doing business processes. When you do business processes you will always wind up using workflow technology. All business process execution tools should by principle use a workflow engine at least SAP ones do. Not sure about others like Oracle BPEL tools for example.
SAP tools like GP and BPM/XI use either Netweaver Java or Abap workflow embedding the technical aspects of workflow design and runtime into the Netweaver stack simplifying the business user experience as it relates to designing and running business processes. But designing and running workflows using workflow tools directly still is very muc an IT challenge.

FM to read the different steps in workflow and the status at each step

Hi All,
Is there any FM in SAP which gives the detail roadmap of the steps taken in a workflow and the diffrent status or decision at each step.
I am looking for something like what you see when you click on the "STARTED WORKFLOW" in the business workplace outbox.
Which shows up the "steps in the process so far " and the decision and the agents for each of them.
Thanks,
Charan.

Hi,
You can get the status according to the task. please check with FM "SAP_WAPI_GET_WI_DELTA".

Report for outstanding workflows and the agents responsible

I need a report that shows all leave request workflows , with userid who created them and approver (agent), and approver's org unit and personnel number.
is there a standard SAP report that can show that? or I need to develop one?
I was looking at the SWI2_FREQ, this report shows the leave request workflows and userid who created them, but it does not report on the agent.
Regards,
Tiberiu

Hi
I think by making use of SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECTS you can get all the workitems who created the leave wokritems.

Siebel & "BIP Report Generation" Workflow and Bookmark Syntax

IHAC that wants to schedule the generation of a BIP report to run every weeknight and include a list of activities for the next day. We've utilized an OOTB IO and can successfully render the report using Sample XML in MS Word. Additionally, since they are only on 8.1.1, they do not currently have access to the latest scheduling capabilities. Therefore, we're trying to implement a repeating component to call a workflow to generate the report using the 'BIP Report Generation' workflow and the associated objects (from support posting 823360.1).
Now to the questions:
One of the parameters for the workflow is a 'Bookmark'. This parameter does not appear to handle various 'Siebel' querying functions like 'Today()' as part of the criteria. Can someone confirm this statement?
Currently, I can imagine one high-level possible workarounds. This would entail a revised WF and that includes a prior step to generate the 'Bookmark' by retrieving a string representation of tomorrow's date and concatenating it with the rest of the criteria.
Next question:
Does anyone have any other possible alternatives? Maybe a calculated field in the BC/IC for 'Today() + 1' - but this could have performance implications.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Suggestions/comments?
Bump.
