Can SAP BPM address progressive approvals?

Hello,
We are looking to build a mobile approvals app based on SAP ERP. The requirement is as follows.
Amount < 100K - A approves
100K < Amount < 1MN - A approves first and then B Approves (B reviews A's comments)
1 MN < Amount < 10 MN - C approves after A and B successively approve (each one comemnts which can be seen by successive approvers).
10MN <Amount - D approves after A, B and C successively approve.
I am considering SAP BPM as one of the possible workflow solutions and need to know if SAP BPM can address this requirement.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Soujanya. A follow-up question regarding the same. Can we expose the BPM approval task as a web service so that the actual approval can be done on a mobile device (without the need for SUP or Gateway)? Someone mentioned about a RESTful service for the approval task. Any idea if it's can be done?
Thanks for the help.

Can we prioritise in SAP BPM

In SAP BPM, can we priotirize the process at runtime to hold one process and allow my critical process to run first and the other next.
Thanks

Here is the API link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/24/6a325944854629adcfd73c2cc0fa60/frameset.htm
But we can only read the current priority using the API, we cannot change the priority.
TaskInstanceManager taskInstanceManager = BPMFactory.getTaskInstanceManager();
Set<TaskAbstract> myTasks = taskInstanceManager.getMyTaskAbstracts(statuses);
Priority taskPrio = myTasks.getPriority()

Notes and Attachment in SAP BPM

Hi,
In SAP BPM, the users that are completing a task can add some notes or attachment. These items will be visible by the other users who will execute the next tasks. However, when the process is complete, I'm not able via the SAP NWA to retrieve the attachment or view the notes that have been inputted during the execution of the process.
Does somebody know how to view this information once the process is completed?
Thanks
Martin

Hi Martin,
You might have some access issues.
In a nutshell:
Prerequisites
You have administrator rights for the portal content, that is, the content administrator portal role is assigned to you.
Procedure
       1.      Log in your portal as a content administrator.
       2.      Choose the Content Administration tab page.
The portal content catalogue is displayed.
       3.      In the portal content catalogue, choose Portal Content ® Content Provided by SAP ® End User Content ® Standard Portal Users ® Pages ® Universal Worklist ® Universal Worklist.
Alternatively you can search for pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/general/pages/com.sap.km.pages/com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.uwl_page.
       4.      In the context menu of Process List Viewer, choose Open ® Related Links.
       5.      In the portal content catalogue, choose Portal Content ® Content Provided by SAP ® End User Content ® BPEM ® Pages ® Process List Viewer.
Alternatively, you can search for pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.bpem/com.sap.bpem.pages/com.sap.bpem.ProcessListViewer.
       6.      In the context menu of Process List Viewer, choose Open ® Related Links.
       7.      Confirm the Add Related Link dialog box with OK.
       8.      Save your settings.
Next time when you open your universal worklist (Home ® Work), in the left hand panel under Related Links the Process List Viewer is displayed.
Hope this helps,
David

Integrate UIBB in SAP BPM Process

Hi there,
i'd like to integrate a Form UIBB into a SAP BPM Process.
I created already a WD-Chip for the UIBB as described in: Creating a CHIP for a Single UIBB
For the usage of the chip in BPM i need to create at least one inport ("WD ABAP Chip X-SAP-WDY-CHIP/Z_MYCHIP is not supported because it must have exactly one inport (list of inports: [])"). At the Inport Tab in the created WD-Chip i can only select Inport "Resume".
As mentioned in FPM Chip Integration i implemented then the interface "IF_FPM_CHIP_FEEDER" in my feeder class of the Form-UIBB. I read that i have to implement method "IF_FPM_CHIP_FEEDER~CHIP_INIT" and add the inports dynamically.
But my problems are: -1) The method never gets called?
-2) BPM shows that i have to create at least one inport?
Is it correct, that the integration of FPM Screens into BPM is currently not supported, as mentioned in: WD-FPM integration with BPM : View Idea?
Do i have to create separate WDA(non FPM)-Screens to get it into BPM?
Hope you can help me out.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Michael

Heavy performance issues using Adobe Interactive Form PDFs generated by SAP BPM

Dear experts,
we use Adobe Interactive Form PDFs (generated with LiveCycle Designer) as Human Tasks within SAP BPM processes. The PDFs are generated and transmitted correctly, but when they are opened at the receivers PC, Windows freezes for 2-3 minutes, then the PDF opens and can be filled out and sent back. The next PDFs can be opened much faster, but when the PC is restarted, we get the same problem again. We use Adobe Reader XI (11.0.2) on our clients; is their any know performance issue?
Please note, that we have this problem with EVERY Adobe Interactive Form PDF... I created a simple PDF containing just a field and the client PC still freezes. So it can't be in the form or the scripting. Normal static PDFs can be opend without any problems.
Best regards,
David

They haven't really announced it, because there is no product to announce. Rather the opposite.
There are no conversion tools, so far as I know.
XFA forms are a non-starter if you want portability.
AcroForms are a nightmare in themselves, because the functionality is limited in Adobe Reader and varies between absent and weird in other products. No idea about Blackberry support.
You will not find a simple recommendation. Rather, you need to use Acroforms and carefully test everything (EVERYTHING: no assumptions) on every platform you intend to support.
Yes, rather unsatisfactory, but until Adobe realise that the future is platform equivalence or irrelevance, this is where we are.

Mitigation control: Sending failed No valid SAP sender address

GRC 5.3 SP10 RAR
In mitigation control: I have created a new control ID. When I am trying to assign it to a user getting error
"Sending failed No valid SAP sender address"
Please advise to resolve the issue. I need to mitigate user.

Hello Pal,
Please go to RAR configuration -> Risk Analysis -> Additional Options. Here check if you have the parameter Enable Monitor Notification set to YES. If you do then set this one to NO. Also, kindly check and make sure that you have a valid email address maintained for each of the mitigation control monitor in Mitigation tab.
If you wish to have the parameter set to yes only then you need to do the JAVA mail settings in Visual Admin. Check configuration of the JAVA mail client, which can be done using Visual Administrator, to send the Email Notification.
(Configuration > Java Mail Client > Properties > Smtp).

ARIS - SAP BPM Integration

Hi Experts,
I am new to SAP BPM and ARIS, and was wondering if anyone can help answer this.
If processes are designed using ARIS, how would you import them in NWDS (BPM Process)? Is this the right way to do it? What is the best practice regarding this?
I know there is integration between ARIS and SolMan, but this is with SAP BPM. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rahim.

From the wiki posted by Ann Rosenberg
Link: [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ModHandbook/ProcessModelingNotations]
It seems there is no way to import BPMN diagram from ARIS to NW BPM. One will have to redraw the models.

Sap email address to receive PDF attached

Hello,
I read that you can send an interactive form (in xml or pdf) back to SAP and integrate it directly into SAP.
I saw that you can get the attached file :
[Sample Code for processing Inbound Mail with Adobe Interactive Forms|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Sample%20Code%20for%20processing%20Inbound%20Mail%20with%20Adobe%20Interactive%20Forms]
But what I don't understand is to what email address it is supposed to be sent, and how check if it is well received in sap.
Is there a "generic" address for sap inbox, and a transaction where I can check this inbox. And how do I write in the program that I want to get email from this address.
Thank you,

Hello,
you will have to set up inbound mail in your SAP system. The SAP System will have an own subdomain or own addresses that you mail server will recognize and send it to your SAP system. About setting up inbound mail please read SAP note:
#455140
After the mail arrives into the SAP system you can define which addresses will need special inbound processing. >> This is what you already found.
The inbound mails can be found in Tr. SOIN in the new releases.

Dezso

Issues with CAL Free Solution - SAP BPM and Operational Process Intelligence on SAP HANA [developer edition]

Hi,
When I want to suscribe to the CAL Free Solution - SAP BPM and Operational Process Intelligence on SAP HANA, on the Terms and conditions page, even if I scroll down, the button "I accept" is not available.
Do you have any tips ?

I am trying to download the SAP BPM and Operational Process Intelligence on SAP HANA [trial edition] - AWS version and get a security error.
Any ideas where we can get a 90 demo version of SAP PO/PI that will work with AWS? I am trying to refresh myself on PI7.4?

How can I print address labels from numbers spread sheet

How can I print address labels from numbers spread sheet

CAB,
The 5163 template has the following dimensional specs:
Dimensions & Info
Length: 4.00000"          Height: 2.00000"
Top Margin: 0.50000"          Bottom Margin: 0.50000"
Left Margin: 0.18000"          Right Margin: 0.18000"
Hor. Spacing (gutter): 0.14000"          Vert. Spacing (gutter): 0.00000"
Intended Use: Mailing Labels, Shipping Labels, Address Labels
There's a great vendor site with this data readily available, better than the Avery site in my opinion. But, you can get the same info in the Contacts Print dialog pane.
You can grab a template matching these dimensions from that vendor site, Copy the table after opening the Word Template in Pages and drop the into a blank Numbers Sheet.
I found that Sheet side margins of 0.15" worked better than 0.18. For some reason the table wanted to flow to the next page to the right with 0.18". Turning off the Headers and Footers and setting Top and Bottom Margins to 0.5" worked well. These adjustments are made in the Sheets Inspector.
So, that will put the template you specified into a Numbers document and you can print labels properly aligned from there. Since your problem statement is a bit lacking in detail, that's all I can offer you at this point.
