Guided Procedure based on NetWeaver 7.0

Hello experts,
could you please let me know if there are any tutorials to implement a GP based on the NetWeaver Version 7.0. The best would be if I had an overview about all Layers. Servce, User Interface and Process Layer.
Thanks a lot.

Guided Procedures in ESS/MSS

Could somebody let me know what exactly is the use of Guided Procedures in ESS/MSS packages.
Points will be awarded for brief answers.

Hi Lina,
Guided procedures are basically for enabling access to multiple backend systems, consistently combining different types of services and applications into processes.
CAF Guided Procedures (CAF GP) is a framework for modeling and managing workflows using simple and user-friendly tools.
Also, 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.
The following links will help you
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/fb/5e6f4169e25858e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]
Also we can know how you integrate existing applications and services into the GP framework
The below link tells about GP to ESS

Guided procedures performance

I'm evaluating the performance of Guided procedures, in SAP Netweaver version 7.05 SP1. It runs over a machine with Intel Xeon @ 2.13 Ghz, 3.37 GB RAM, 2046 MB swap size, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, Service Pack 1, JRE version 1.5.0_11. The maximum JVM heap size is 1024 MB, using a parallel young garbage collection policy (-XX:+UseParNewGC), I'm using the parameter -XX
:+HandlePromotionFailure in order to work around the bug 6226790 related to the UseParNewGC garbage collection option (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6226790).
The test target is a "dummy" process, with one sequential block and three actions. The load is generated with JMeter, the test script creates a process instance, issuing a HTTP request to the corresponding URL. The load test consists in a increasing load of 1 to 20 concurrent virtual users, with a ramp-up time of 20 minutes (one new user every minute). The virtual users start process instances until the test is stopped (there is no defined iteration number), with a think time of 10 seconds.
Till a load of 10 concurrent users the behavior is normal: constant response time about 500 ms and increasing throughput (considering the throughput as process instances started per second), until that moment about 300 process instances are created. However, as the test continues, the response time suddenly increases, the throughput falls and eventually the netweaver instance gets stuck. What is curious is that, although the netweaver instance is stuck, the utilization of the processor is low (less than 10%), as well as the memory (the heap just grows till 610 MB, its limit is 1024 MB). There are no sign of exhaustion of other resources, according to the corresponding performance counters (disk read and write queues, network utilization, context switches per second).
The GP runtime is using the local workflow engine, the test has been repeated with 2, 4 and 8 threads in the workflow engine. In all the cases the above described results were almost the same.
Does anybody know why the netweaver instance gets stuck under such conditions, and is there a way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

The problem seems to be fixed in SP3.

Task based UI (Guided Procedure) in SAP CRM 7.0

I am trying to build a Task Based UI in SAP CRM 7.0. I followed the steps which SAP mentions but unfortunately i can't get it work.I am a functional consultant and so its quite possible that might have missed something critical
This is the sequence of steps i followed
Step 1 - Create new BSP component
2 - Created 3 custom views
3 - Created a "Guided Maintenance Page"
4 - According to SAP documentation/material - when i open the view/page created in step 3 i would be able to see the views i created in Step 2 and i can choose the views ( and the sequence) i want to use in the guided procedure.
But unfortunately in Step 3 - i don't see any of the views i created in "Step 2" .
So just wondering what i have missed and why the guided procedure is not working.
thanks in advance!
Cheers
SS

Hi Ruby,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
In your reply you have mentioned that - "As far as I know , if you use the guided maintainence procedure , at the top you can see the number of custom views added in the component , in your case you will be able to see them as 1, 2 and 3"
The issue I am encountering is that I don't see the (any) custom view in my guided procedure.
I don't see any of the the custom views 1,2 or 3 listed in the top half of the page. All i see is a table with no entries in it.
So i am wondering if i have missed out any important step in guided procedure( task based UI) creation process.
thanks in advance!
Cheers

Default email subject for Adobe Form from Netweaver Guided Procedure

Hi everyone.
When we generate an Adobe form from a Netweaver Guided Procedure, a default subject of "Interactive Form {xxxxxxxx}" is used where xxxxxxxx is the Process ID of the Guided Procedure. Is this default subject configurable? Where can I change it?
If we define a custom email template for the form, the subject of the email becomes our custom subject concatenated with the Process ID. Where is it defined that the Process ID must be included in the email subject?
Thanks,
.. Craig

Hello,
I have no experience regarding the table of pictures, but you could try a workaround if you don´t insist of displaying the images. You could attach the pictures as attachments (you know, the little attachments icon on the left in your Reader). The ABAP coding for this can be found in SE38 FP_* and when you check the descriptions you should be able to find the one working with the attachments.
Would be better than nothing I guess,

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.

Cannot Open An Instantiate Application in Guided Procedures

Hi,
I an new to Guided Procedures and SAP NW CE. I have created a composite application following a tutorial example from the SAP Press book "The Developers Guide to the SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment" which is based on a project management process.
After I am finished with the modeling of process in GP (Callable Objects, Roles, Parameter consolidation), I tried to run the application by generating the Instantiate URL and subsequently opening it with the "Open Instanitiate Application" button in the "Instantiate" tabstrip. Unfortunately nothing has happened, and there was not even a single error message.
So I would like to know how can I diagnose this problem in GP? Where can I find the log trace?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Joon Meng

Hi,
In GP you can also run your application using "Start Process" on GP home (I don't remember exact word for menu). To monitor process goto Netweaver Administrator (http://<yourhost>:<port>/nwa) and goto Availability and Performance Management->Process Monitoring
Here you can see option for GP monitoring. Goto Process instance and look for your process (Hint: provide correct initiator and check all type of status).
Here you can also see steps and error details if any.

Error while executing Guided Procedures Action

Hello,
We are getting the following error when a user is trying to execute an Action in the Guided Procedures Process:
"Cannot complete Action: Activity could not be read".
What can be causing this?
Any help would be highly Appreciated.

Hello,
This is more than likely due to an inconsistency of a GP object at database level. I suggest opening an OSS ticket as this would require detailed analysis.
Thanks and best regards,

How to use WebDynpro Applications in Guided Procedure?

Hello,
i want to use a WebDynpro application as a part of a guided procedure. Therefor i developed a simple WebDynpro application as described in the NetWeaver Developer Studio Help. The Application consists of only two views. The first view is to enter data, the second displays them. So far so good....
In the next step i wanted to integrate this application as a CallableObject for execution in my guided procedures process. The wizard asks in step 2 for the "Development component" and WebDynpro Application. But where do it get this information? Indifferently what path i enter, it only returns an error the the object is not available on the server.
EDIT: The path to the webdynpro application is something like this: http://host:port/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/WebDynproUITest/UITest
kind regards,
Matthias

Hello Dipankar,
thx for the blog! This really helped a lot!
The problem is, that you cant test the WebDynpro as a stand-alone application. What would be the best way to develop a WebDynpro Application for GP?
Is there a way to start with a 'normal' WebDynpro Application and convert this when finished in a "guided procedure ready WebDynpro for CE Application"?
I think i will contact you next week with more questions, for now on its weekend
regards,
Matthias

Regardless of whether this bar is displayed or not, you should be able to access what is in the "Favourites" folder in a few ways.
Firstly via the Bookmarks link in Safari. This is the first icon directly to the right of the address bar. Pressing this will open your Bookmarks menu. If you see the word Bookmarks in blue select this and it will take you to the main bookmarks page, and the word Bookmarks will appear in black bold text. If you see Bookmarks in black bold text when first clicking Bookmarks you are where you need to be. The first link on here will be Favourites and have a star icon right next to it, click on Favourites and you will see what has been added to your Favourites folder - if anything. Also there is an Edit button in the bottom right of this screen, if you aren't going where you expected when selecting a URL in here press Edit, press the > arrow to the right of the favourite name, is the URL correct? If not change it, and click DONE on the keyboard - appears where Return key normally shows on the right-hand side.
If you are opening Safari and have no tabs already open or have already closed pages so none are open you will see icons that represent the contents of your Favourites folder displayed at the top of the page.
Also with a page loaded if you click in to the URL field then you will see these icons appear again, together with the keyboard at the bottom of the page.
Hope this helps.

Integration process communicating with guided procedure

Hi everybody,
I read that it is possible to exchange messages between Integration Processes and SAP Business Workflow. Is it also possible to trigger and communicate to a guided procedure in a Integration process?
Thanks,
Mane

Integration processes can integrate with anything which uses one of the protocols supported by XI adapters (and you could even enhance this, by creating your own custom adapters).
E.g., to integrate with SAP Workflow, you could call a standard BAPI or a Z RFC that executes the desired workflow (or feed some step of a already in-process workflow).
For Guided Procedures, you could basically use anything that the UI frameworks within SAP portfolio support. For example, if you develop a WebDynpro-based GP, you could make the WebDynpro consume a Web Service that, for instance, triggers a BPM execution (you expose the 1st receiver step of the BPM, which should be a open sync/async bridge, as a web service through a sender soap adapter).
That's just one example.
Regards,
Henrique.

Guided Procedures Output Parameter and ABAP Web Dynpro

How to enable disable result status of callable object in Guided Procedures

hi,
Currently we are using guided procedures to handle Life Event changes in ESS. Each process has sequential block with Respective actions and callable object assigned to each action.
Most of the callable objects we are using are either standard Java Webdynpro screens that came with ESS business package or custom ABAP Webdynpro's. When we created callable objects with these web dynpro's there is tab that sets result status like "Complete", "Exit" etc.
The issue we are currently facing with result status is, there is no way that control is passed to result status enabled for specific step of guided procedure from the callable object. For example we created callable object for Benefits enrollment screen with result status "Complete". When user initiated guided procedure to make changes to Benefits enrollment, make changes to plans and click save. Once User click Save we want to send control to result status to get enable, till then we don't want the "Complete" button to be enabled on the Guided procedure step.
Is there way to control the result status button based on the action performed by user in respective screen/step of Guided Procedure?
Could someone suggest is there better replacement for guided procedures where I can use some other framework/process to achieve better functionality than GP's.
Thanks
Ravi.
