Calling WLI 8.1 Workshop Workflows

Hi - we have some workflows implemented using Workshop 8.1 which are going to be
deployed as controls and called by multiple clients from a web service. The problem
I am facing is to decide how we can make sure that the state maintained by the
workflow is managed correctly when multiple clients are calling it at the same
time. The interface to these workflow controls will be a web service which will
call a workflow based on an XML tag passed to the service.
Any ideas are appreciated
Thanks

Henry,
You can always only get the username using any context object such as
JpdContext or JwsContext. The password will not be accesssible.
Could you please advise what else are you looking for in security
credentials.
Regards,
Anurag

Hi,
I am using Weblogic 8.1 Workshop business process to track the life cycleof
a business process and execute certain actions in a J2EE applicationhosted
on the on the Weblogic 8.1 App Server. However, to invoke business methods
on the application, the method signature requires me
to pass as one of the parameters, the caller security credentials, i.e.
caller subject. I have looked into the JpdContext and it apparent thatthere
exists an API method to retrieve caller principal. However callerprincipal
only contains the caller's user name. I tried using getCallbackusernameand
getCallbackpassword on the JpdContext, but these return null. Do you know
how I can retrieve caller security credentials for a business process(jpd)?

Calling Adobe form in a Workflow Step for approval

Hello,
There are some ISR forms and workflows in MSS which use Workflow tasks configured as JavaWebDynpro to call Adobe form from the Workflow Step.
Is it possible to achieve the same using ABAP Web Dynpro and creating a new task and configuring to use it as an ABAP Web Dynpro (which can in turn call the Adobe form from the WD)?
Thanks.

Hi Anjali,
1)You can develop an RFC that collects required basic data from R/3 and display them in ABAP WD - Adobe Form. The End user can change/fill the remaining contents of the Adobe Form and submits it for approval. The RFC again handles the triggering part of the Workflow and passes the form data to the workflow containers.And for approvals, you can use the SWFVISU to call a ABAP WD application from Workflow. And in turn the control again goes back to RFC and so...
2)I dont have much idea in ECC 60 if there is a similar ABAP WD application like Standard Java WD IsrFormApprove.
3)No idea.

Raja Sekhar

Call an RFC as a Workflow step

Hi,
I need to integrate inside a workflow (designed via Process Composer) a call to a backend RFC.
In detail, I need to make a callback to the backend when a process is created to register the successful creation of the process itself.
So it should be something like this:
START --> AUTOMATED RFC CALLBACK --> Workflow tasks --> END
I'm trying adding an EJB and linking it to the workflow with a Mapping Activity, but I'm not sure that I'm doing the right thing.
I've found a SAP guide that shows how to call an EJB from a workflow with a Mapping Activity but I'm having problems making things work.
Can someone suggest me if this is the right way to get the things done?
As a side note:
I work in a multi-track development environment. Every track has inside a project representing a specific workflow. Could it be possible to have a single EJB, placed in a track, to handle all the callback request from all the workflows from different tracks?
Thank you,
Pietro

Hi,
a little update...
I've made the EJB work! This is an excerpt of the code:
@Stateless
public class ActivationCallbackBean implements ActivationCallbackLocal {
     // FUNCTION NAMESPACE
     private static final String NAMESPACE_FUNCTION_PARAMETER = "mycompany.com/mctfc_invoice_approve";
     // PARAMETER NAMES
     private static final String P_ID = "ID";
     // PARAMETER LOOKUP NAME
     private static final String NAME_PROPERTY_INPUT_ID = SdoRenamingHelper
     .renameXsdElementToSdoProperty(new QName(
               NAMESPACE_FUNCTION_PARAMETER, P_ID), false);
     public DataObject invokeSdo(DataObject input, InvocationContext invContext) {
          boolean isBackendCallSuccessful = true;
          Type typeInput = input.getType();
          String id = input.getString(typeInput
                    .getProperty(NAME_PROPERTY_INPUT_ID));
Now, as I said I have multiple workflows and I'd like to have only one EJB to handle all the calls. In order to do that I've added a special input parameter to discriminate which workflow is the "caller". But I've got a problem. When I define in Process Composer an EJB Function under "Rules and functions" in order to point to the EJB, i got a fixed value for the namespace.
Since the namespace is mandatory to retrieve the input values in the EJB and the namespace is based on the workflow I'm working with:
NAMESPACE_FUNCTION_PARAMETER = "mycompany.com/mctfc_invoice_approve";
(mctfc_invoice_approve is the name of one of the workflows) what can I do to have only one EJB and overcome this limitation? Is this possible?
Thank you,
Pietro

Urgetn - Can you call a url from a workflow?

Hey,
Does anyone know if you can call a url from a workflow?
Your urgent attention would be grateful.

I have done this in a form. You could put a manual action to call the form then display the url (Technical Reference 3-14)
<Field>
<Display class='Link'>
<Property name='name' value='Request
Group Access'/>
<Property name='URL'
value='user/processLaunch.jsp?newView=true'>

Call business event from oracle workflow

Hi,
how to call business event from oracle workflow ?
if possible, could you give any sample code.
Thanks.

In short terms: assign values to the attributes that compose the payload of the event. Then raise it. Here a simple example of raising the Flex Field compilation event:
declare
l_application_id fnd_application.application_id%TYPE := &1;
l_descriptive_flexfield_name varchar2(200) := '&2';
l_application_short_name fnd_application.application_short_name%TYPE;
l_parameters wf_parameter_list_t := wf_parameter_list_t();
begin
SELECT application_short_name
INTO l_application_short_name
FROM fnd_application
WHERE application_id = l_application_id;
wf_event.addparametertolist(p_name => 'APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME',
p_value => l_application_short_name,
p_parameterlist => l_parameters);
wf_event.addparametertolist(p_name => 'APPLICATION_ID',
p_value => l_application_id,
p_parameterlist => l_parameters);
wf_event.addparametertolist(p_name => 'DESCRIPTIVE_FLEXFIELD_NAME',
p_value => l_descriptive_flexfield_name,
p_parameterlist => l_parameters);
wf_event.raise(p_event_name => 'oracle.apps.fnd.flex.dff.compiled',
p_event_key => (l_application_short_name || '.' ||l_descriptive_flexfield_name),
p_event_data => NULL,
p_parameters => l_parameters,
p_send_date => Sysdate);
end;

Calling Shell Scripts in Business Workflow and Guided Procedures

Hi *,
is it possible to call shell scripts in business workflow and guided procedures? would need further documentation (how to, blog,...) about this issue.
Thx in advance,
Rene.

Hello,
Workflows consist of tasks.
A task executed an object's method.
Methods are written in ABAP.
In the method you can code whatever you like, including code to execute shellscripts.
How to do this is not really a workflow question, I would suggest asking in an ABAP forum on how to write a function module to do this in a pure ABAP context. Then it's just a matter of inserting it into a method for use in your WF.
Cheers,
Mike

Calling WLI Workflows from JSP/servlets

Hello,
I'm looking for some help with WLI workflows.
I want to create a JSP/Servlet that starts a workflow to request some
data.
I understand how to start a workflow by placing a message on a JMS
queue, but I am unsure of how to get a response back from the workflow.
How does a work flow return a result to a client?
Does the workflow place the result onto a JMS queue? If so, how does the
result message get associated with the request message? Is there any
mechanisms to do this, or do I need to write this on my own?
Would the servlet/JSP block until the response is returned, or does it
need to poll some other queue?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Alan

Alan
Currently you do not need JMS to return a result. Here is a sample jsp
based worklist, you can use this to see how to start one using the worklist
api, however, what exactly do you want to return. ?

Call external RFC in a workflow

Hi!
I'm going through the tutorials at
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/fb/1359c4457311d189440000e829fbbd/frameset.htm.
I had a question - as one of the steps in the workflow, is it possible to call an RFC on an external system (a destination defined via SM 59), get the response back, and use that response in the next step in the workflow, which again calls another RFC on an external system?
Thanks,
Mustansir

Yes, you can achieve that by using the corresponding methods of the activity defined.

Calling BD87 transaction in a workflow

Hi expert,
I have to send a mail into sap inbox from my workflow when user accept the mail it will call BD87 transaction.can anyone tell me how can I do this? because I am new in workflow? One more thing is there any satandard event or change document availabe for transaction BD87.

Hello,
You could send an email that has a URL link to run transaction BD87.
This is not really a workflow question per se.... unless you want to send ths mail from a workitem.
By the way, it may not be necessary for a user to manually run BD87. Have you considered scheduling
various programs (eg RBDMANI2 and RBDAPP01) to process stalled idocs automatically, on a regular basis?

In the current release, we do not support calling stored procedures from a

stored procedures.

You can use a database control to obtain a connection from any JDBC

could be connecting to any database, the database control is
independent

Problem calling PL/SQL procedure from Workflow function activity.

Hi,
I am trying to call a PL/SQL procedure from within my workflow activity.
While I am able to execute the procedure through SQLDeveloper, the workflow function does not seem to call it.
It seems that custom PL/SQL procedures have to conform to certain standards to be called within workflow applications. I have written my procedure to conform to those standards (referred to the example workflows).
Could someone please help me with it?
Thanks and regards.

How to call Java Validations from MDM Workflow

We have some Java Validations which have to be triggerd from the Workflow.
We do NOT want to use the Enrichment Framework for doing this.
How can we call these Java Validations from the Workflow?

Hi Adhappan,
As I see, these kinds of validations are not possible as of now. I'm not very sure if VISIO internally can refer to the JAVA validations, but otherwise this is not possible with current version of the product.
