EHP1 and Guided Procedure

Hi all,
In EHP1, the Guided Procedure was fully replaced by Galaxy? I've saw that only Web Dynpro GUI can be used. Does anybody know if have plan to support Visual Composer too?
Best regards

Hello Isias,
please note that it depends on your selection before downloading the preview version to have GP available:
In [Download selection|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/20877bcc-bb51-2b10-aa8b-8308ed488199] selct the first Option "Composition Environment (contains Java EE).
The GP roles are available in the UME but you have to assign them to the respective User via [user admin|http://localhost:50000/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcsecumewdumeadmin/UmeAdminApp].
Enter your user, mark it and select modify in the left down "Details of User...". In available roles, select "all Data Sources" as search criteria, enter gp and select go. Mark all the roles you will need and press add. Don't forget to save this assignment.
Let me know if this solves your problem, as with the check of the original installation, the preview version in SDN is based on, the roles are available.
Kind regards
Berndt

Callable object and Guided procedures

Hi all,
Where we use callable objects? i want to know about the basic of callable object and guided procedure?
sorry if my question is very silly

Hi again
Callable objects can be many types, including applications (like web dynpro), services (e.g. web services), remote function modules, intercative and composite forms, etc.
The GP framework comes with a set of ready-to-use COs that you can see when you open the Create Callable Object wizard. Here is a list of the so-called predefined COs in GP:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0f/619fd378a641b29386063019c24fc4/content.htm
Since applications and services themselves are of various types, here is a link for creating COs of those types in GP design time:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/da/a680415dc6050de10000000a1550b0/content.htm
You can also implement your own callable object type, but here you have to use the NW Developer Studio, apart from the GP worksets. Here is a link to give an overview:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/e74cb156b60a29e10000000a11466f/content.htm
Finally, here is a document that gives general info about exposing applications as COs and links to various areas, connected to CO implementation and usage in GP:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/08/d88041a17e060de10000000a1550b0/content.htm

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

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?
Thanx and Regards,
Divya

Regd UWL and Guided Procedure

Hi All,
i am trying to implement one simple work flow in the GP, where two steps are there:-
1>Create Request
2>Approve Request.
I haev created collable obect, Action, block and process. I have configure the UWL for the GP fo the 2nd step as approval. I am gettign the created Item respective to the GP in the UWL.
When i am trying to click the Subject from the Table in the UWL for approving the created request i am not gettign the respective page in place of that i am getting error message like- Could not retrieve process instance: contact your system administrator.
If any one have solution or input for this please share the same.
Regards,
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
        For bringing the task to UWL you need to create a GPconnector first.I think you have created that already,though your GP is coming on UWL.Now you need to modify the .xml for UWL.
To modify the .xml file go to system admin->system config->universal worklist & workflow->UWL administration->select GP connector->select UWL GP Config->click on download config.
download the .xml file and add your GP connector coding there.Below I am giving the modified .xml file.Please do the changes.

Life work events and Guided Procedure

Hi,
We have installed ESS business package on EP7 portal and connected to ECC 6.0. We want to configure Life and Work Events (LWE). When a user clicks on Life and Work Events Tab > First Day, Marriage, Benefit for that matter any link on that page, It takes users to Folder selection page of guided procedure to select the process.
The question is that is it suppose take a user to respective guided procedure as First Day or etc. rather than asking user to select the guided procedure process from folder.
Thanks,
Guest user
Edited by: on Mar 21, 2008 12:40 AM

If default configuration takes to actual process that make us feel we are missing something in configuration.
Lakshmi, Do you have any clue as what is missing to be configured since it is taking us to folder selection page?
Thanks for your help,

Using FLEX Visual Composer iViews in Guided Procedures and the UWL

Hello Experts,
I am trying to display a GP workitem and I am getting this error
"The portal page builder required to execute this callable object is not available."
I have a GP Process and it haves FLEX Visual Composer iView, it runs fine un the Runtime workbench from Guided procedures Role, but when I configure de GP UWL Connector and try to open a GP workitem with a VC FLEX iView i got the error "The portal page builder required to execute this callable object is not available." Guided procedures with webdynpro iView works fine.
I have a NW 7.0 SP10
Could you please help me undertand what configuration I am missing??

SAP Workflow vs. Guided Procedures

Hello experts,
could anyone explain the differences between SAP workflow and Guided Procedures???
I know that workflows are just compatibel with a ABAP Stack. Is there a document which compares both process technologies???
Can I use CAF for SAP workflow???
Can I use the Visual Composer to create the UI for a workflow???
Thank you very much
Regards
Marco
Edited by: Marco Gennari on Aug 28, 2008 4:25 PM

Hi Martin!
Because my tutor and my professor want to know, if it's possible to start a GP-process from SAP WebFlow automatically if a certain step is reached in WebFlow.
I have a process as an example and in that process company A works with Workflow and company B, who is responsible for maintenance of a machine works with Guided Procedures.
When a machine is damaged a Guided Procedure process of company B should be started and after reparing and end of GP the SAPWorkflow should continue.
The normal way via iporting a WSDL file isn't possible because SAP WebFlow doesn't support SOAP Binding which is necessary for Guided Procedures.
However in Guided Procedure it's possible to create an URL of a process instantiation. And if you call that URL in your Browser with parameters "process.template.id = xxxxx" and "process.autostart=t" the process will be started automatically.
So for the first, I just want to call the URL from SAP WebFlow to trigger the GP process. (the handler customizing is done correctly) So I thought with transaction "wf_extsrv" it's possible if you refer to the URL of the process instantiation with process.template.id and process.autostart=t.
Then generate a task and start the GP-process with the activity referring to the task. That would be a first step to show if it's possible.
If yes.
Then I can attend to pay attention to the export and import parameters.
Can you follow me?
I hope so.
I think that post is much too long.
If you want I can write you my ideas exactly via email.

Guided Procedures vs ISR

Hi
We are trying to automate our internal form processes using SAP adobe interactive forms. These forms must be available online and must be routed to the relevant approvers and processors on submission.
Can anyone tell the difference between ISR and Guided Procedures and which one is the best to use.
Regards,
Michael Mayisana

Hi Micheal,
Please check the answers for your queries. I have adding all the info i have.
1. It doesnt exactly mean that the GP are only for Offline Interactive forms., they r for online too. but better suited for CAF appl. For this case we need, we will take the help of CAF GP i.e. Composite appplication framework GP. CAF GP is a framework for modeling and managing workflows using simple and user-friendly tools. As a part of the Composite Application Framework (CAF), GP enables access to multiple backend systems, consistently combining different types of services and applications into processes. In addition, GP supports collaboration, ad-hoc items, and offline task management using interactive forms. It provides role-based access to tools and resources and guidance through the workflows at runtime, thereby helping end users to easily identify and complete their tasks
2. As to my implementation the form cannot be rendered on the front-end without any extra web-dynpro development when using GP. Like ABAP Webdynpro iviews can than be integrated with portal. and hence portal is used as front end.
Pls chk the below link
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0957cb6-5103-2a10-6d9d-a0a4d68c8bf1
3.Example as such , might be a general MSS/ ESS implementation but check out this blog for such scenario

Hope this helps you and hope i was clear .
GoodLuck!

Question to Guided Procedures

Hello,
in our company I'm evaluating WFM-Tools.
I have two questions about Guided Procedures:
(1) Is it possible to delete entities of a running process in the CAF Guided Procedures? To stop a process is no problem, but I didn't solve to delete them completely.
(2)Is it possible to escalate dates in a process?
I would be very glad, when someone give me some links, informations, documents e.g. for implementing Composite Applications and Guided Procedures.
Thanks a lot
Steve Mussdorf

Hi Steve,
In addition to the link that Srini gave, you can check the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/39/198141f906040de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">GP documentation</a>.
To your questions - the functionality to delete process instances is not yet available but will come soon.
Changing the process due date is possible using the so-called process control items. See the following <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/42/cec68872c56baee10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm">docu</a>.

UWL Guided Procedures and Substitution Rules functionality - how possible?

We are using Guided Procedures with Custom Web Dynpro objects and need to utilize user/role substitution that is easily enabled in other AdHoc tasks using 'Manage Substitution Rules. Unfortunately when creating and turning ON a substitution rule in the UWL all Guided Procedure Tasks are excluded and do not show up in the substituting person's UWL.
Does anyone have any ideas of how we can utilize Substitution Rules in UWL for all Guided Procedure tasks/steps?
Thanks in advance
-SteveW

Hi SteveW!
The situation you're facing is the normal behavior from GP in relation with substitution feature of UWL.
Unfortunately GP doesn't support substitution as the other UWL connectors do.

Interactive form, guided procedure and R3 system

Hi experts,
I am working on a project where i am required to create a interactive form (pdf) using SAP NetWeaver. The user is allow to fill up their form before they finally call the SAP guided procedure upon hitting the submit button.
I have go through some tutorial on guided procedure to perform process control.
However, the problem now is, after the guided procedure had completed all the different stages of approval, i need it to send the pdf form to the SAP R3 system and insert data to the database.
So far, i have created an interactive form.
I need to acquire knowledge on how i could allow the guided procedure to interface with the r3 system after the form is approved.
Very much appreciated if someone can help me in this area.

Sneak preview of Guided procedures ( CAF ) on EP 6.0 and higher

Hi
I am looking to build some prototype workflows on CAF- GP ( Guided procedures ) . I understand that GP runs on enterprise portal 6.0 and higher. Could anyone please forward me the correct link to a sneak preview download of enterprise portal - that comes along with GP ? I tried many links given in weblogs on EPs - but none of them take me to a location wherein I can download the sneak preview of EP 6.0 or higher ...
Please help...

Is there no location on SDN where in I can get a working - sneak preview ( trial version ) download of Enterprise Portal - seems very strange.

Guided Procedures and online interactive adobe forms.

Hi Experts,
Scenario : User have to log into GP runtime, When he clicks the first action it should display the adobe form. He has to fill the details and submit the form. This form is routed for Approver 1 for review. The first approver will log into portal,view it (UWL),approve it and sent for second approver.The same process happens with the second approver.After both approvals, a BAPI updates the data in the interactive form in R/3
All the process have to be done in Guided Procedures, then integrated with Portal at the end.
We have tried creating an Wdynpro Java app with online adobe form and executed successfuly in NWDS and also in Webdynpro content administrator.
issue:-
When we create a callable object(webdynpro app(gp interface CO)) in GP and test, we were unable to view the form.
Now our question is : what are we mising ?
Is it possible to integrate online interactive adobe form with guided procedures?
Is our approach to solve the scenario right?
any links or tutorials will be greatly appreciated
TIA,
