Help on:SAP Workflow mass or batch approval

Dear Experts,
In my current project, I got a requirement that client want to approve training course registration requests in batch.
e.g. Person A created a request and one workitem created, person B created another request and another worktime created.
And two workitems are sent to one manager,and the manager wants to approve all the requests at one time.
I want to approve using Java WD from UWL. And I know a soultion: write program to collect all the workitems sent to this manager and complete all the items by program.
And belows are my questions:
1. The solution I mentioned above, is it possible? If someboby done it before, give me some hint please.
2. Is there any other better soultion or best solution for mass / batch workflow items approve? If If someboby done it before, also give me some hint please.
I appreciate any of your replys.
Thanks and regards,
Chen Jian

Hi,
I agree with Rick. Altought I am not sure where the workitems_to_object function is needed.
I would probably first get all the work items that the user has. So, when the WD application opens, you should get all the work items with the function X (X=probably the same function that the UWL itself uses to get the work items of the user (I don't remember it, but you can find it easily with RFC trace when openin UWL)). Then just filter all the course registration items. Get the course details based on the items, and then use the decision_complete function for the work items. And remember to take care of substitutes items too (if needed).
And if you still want to use the standard decision functionality (that you are probably curently using?), that is OK - you can add a new action (=button to the UWL) to the course registration task - for example "Mass approval" - and with this you can launch your new custom WD application.
In general you might want to check how the course registrations are approved currently and use the same function/method to do it from your application, but on the other hand if you are using the standard decision spep, you might not want to change anything.

Karri

SAP Workflow Scenarios

Dear all,
We are planning to implement SAP workflow, for the creation of material master and info record of the materials. We are using SAP 4.7 version. Can you give me any idea or hint about how we can configure these cases. Is there any standard workflow on SAP? If you can also send me documents or web address would be appreciate.
Thank you for your help
Melih

Yes there is and you might not need any help from a workflow professional if you are trying to keep it simple

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.

How to route the information to approver with out involving sap workflows.

Hi Developers,
i have a doubt regarding how the requester filled form information will be send to approver with out involving SAP workflows in the portal.
Normally i know the procedure where users fills the form with the approver details, the filled information is routed to approver UWL by trigerring a function module thru webdynpro.
But i need to know is there any procedure to route the information without involving any backends.
Thanks in Advance.

Michele is correct - sneep will help you get the serial from the running domain on the M3000 ,
and it is a good idea to install STB on your machines.
If that isn't possible for you, then sneep can be downloaded directly from [http://www.sun.com/sneep]
I believe that on this platform, sneep gets the serial from the output of prtconf.
There is a minor correction to be made :
After installed SNEEP use "man sneep" for all technical details.The sneep man page is not linked into the shared man pages, so you need to use
man -M /opt/SUNWsneep/man sneep
with out going to OK prompt (Banner)It is worth noting that the serial shown in the OBP banner is not the product serial
that you will find on the physical serial tag.
The banner "serial" is the decimal equivalent of the host ID, which you normally get in hexadecimal from the "hostid" command.

SAP Workflow: how to integrate html forms

Hello.
I have to built up a workflow, which starts with an ABAP report. This ABAP Report selects a number of persons and then an email is sent to these persons. A hyperlink should be in this email and the person should click at the hyperlink, which opens an html-form. In this html-form some data is filled in and then is sent to our SAP HR system where we start again an apab report.
My questions:
1) is this a typical process for SAP Workflow?
2) What pre-conditions regarding our SAP HR system do we have (do we need ITS)? Where can I find an example for such a workflow with html-form?
3) Is this state of the art? Please tell me some SAP keywords that I can continue my investigation.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Then, you should activate Workflow Extended Notification component.

SAP Workflow as Enterprise BPM tool?

Howdy,
     This doesn't seem to fit in BPM Methodology Forum.... nor is it a purely technical question of SAP Workflow.
Another part of our company is starting vendor evaluation process for possible purchase of BPM tool (IBM Lombardi, Appian, Tibco, etc) after ruling out open source options.   Should I suggest they look at SAP Workflow & UWL as "existing/free" option we own?   Will it cleanly manage events from non-SAP applications?
Background:
1) We've never adopted SAP Workflow (expertise limited); maybe have three to five in Production.
2) Enterprise BPM requirements are to integrated various applications/events from various platforms worldwide (75% of events would not be SAP centric).
3) We've discontinued our XI server... all we had from SAP was SUS Interface (in 6 yrs). We have Tibco EMS & BW for middleware connectivity.   Will SAP Workflow/UWL function without SAP XI - will it integrate with Tibco?
4) Large population without SAPGUI., use UWL now from some actions... would need to use UWL for Enterprise access - or should consider BWSP?
Anything else that would help to answer the general question of using SAP Workflow for non-SAP events/data?
Thanks,

I was hoping for a better answer.... a work-around to use our Tibco infrastructure (repl XI) and "hooks" into SAP.   Darn....
I wasn't finding very many articles, etc. that were encouraging SAP Workflow as an Enterprise BPM.
But thanks for your experience and reply....

No mail is sent from SAP Workflow

Hi
We are sending mail from SAP Workflow to Lotus notes email. We have made the correct configuration in su01d for users whom we are sending by mentioning email address and communication method as email. We have also checked that program RSCONN01 is running periodically. We checked the SCOT transaction and no entries has been registered from SAP Workflow. we have defined SMTP node as required but still nothing happens.
I have also tried to send mail from SBWP but no entries is registered. Can you tell me what is the problem. I think it might be the issue between linkage between SAP and mail server. Can anyone tell me what needs to be checked here. I have done config for SICF Tcode also.
Thanks
Arghadip

> I have also tried to send mail from SBWP but no entries is registered.
Are you still not able to send mail from SBWP? You need to fix this problem first, then you can start worrying about the workflow mail-sending capability.The user which sends e-mail needs to have an e-mail address defined in the user record.
Try defining an e-mail address for your own user and send an e-mail from SBWP. This should show up in SCOT, either as waiting in the queue, or (if you have bad luck with your timing) as sent e-mail. If the e-mail doesn't even show up in SCOT, ask Basis to help you figure out what is wrong.

Polling for files using SAP workflow

Hi all. First of all, I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this question.. Please let me know if it needs to be moved.
I need to know if it is possible to use SAP Workflow to keep looking (polling) for files in a certain directory? I know I can do this in XI, but need to know if the same capability is available within Workflow? If it is possible, can anyone tell me how / where to find the information on how to do it?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Thomas

Hi- Both the ways are possible
1. Extended Notification (you need to configure and schedule prog.) which will send email automatically to outlook (based on user's mail id in SU01D) whenever the approver receives new approval task and the email will have link to Approve/Reject (based on the underlying WF step). When approver clicks on the link, it will ask for user id/pwd and approver can take decision
2. You can also send plain email notification in WF using mail step to outlook and based on the mail, approver can take action from inbox

Exception when running CO11N by BDC in SAP Workflow

Hi all,
We have designed a SAP workflow and all is OK.
But in a step of this workflow, we have run CO11N with BDC and we got a RAISE_EXCEPTION (message type: A, message ID: 00, message number: 342, message text: Runtime error & has occurred). So we can not successfully run CO11N.
We have tested this BDC (by running this BDC in a ABAP program) and the result of BDC is all OK.
If anyone know this problem, could you please help us?
How can we correct this EXCEPTION?
Thanks a lot,
Vinh Vo

Hello
See the following note for a workaround to this issue:
