Launching webdynpro ABAP application from workflow task (without UWL)

Hello,
How can i start webdynpro ABAP application from workflow without portal?
Workflow and webdynpro ABAP are located on the same system.
I assume it must be possible without transaction SWFVISU.
thanks
Regards
Paul

First you need to define a external service then you have to generate a task from this external service and then you need to include this task id in you workflow for a ACTIVITY step then this step can be either background or can be assigned to any agent
you have to make use the below two Txn
WF_HANDCUST and WF_EXTSRV

How to access SQL tables from WebDynPro ABAP application ?

Hi,
I am trying a scenario, where I need to send an user ID to SQL server table (update/modify/delete) from webDynpro ABAP application.
Basically ,I am trying to know:---
a>How to write a SQL Connection from ABAP code within webdynpro ABAP application
b>What are the ways to do it.(by code or any other API/mechanism)
I appreciate if anybody knows this.
Thanks
Praveen

Hi,
The EXEC CONNECT ... is usually used in the procedural ABAP code. For this you can refer to the ABAPDOCU.
I dont have any sample code on the classes I listed try to check out them for the parameters and the methods they have.
In WD for Java, we have these connection classes to connect to any databsae server.
Or try to create an RFC with DESTINATION for this
Pls check out this link for this -

Integrating WebDynpro ABAP applications with UWL for workflow in Portal

Dear
We want to integrate an abap webdynpro application as task in the workflow with UWL.
More information was found in /people/ginger.gatling/blog/2005/12/14/create-new-uis-for-existing-workflow-tasks-with-abap-web-dynpro-and-universal-worklist
But no answer on the following issue:
We use the transaction SWFVISU to prepare standard setting for our task. This defines how a task is executed, once you select the task subject line on the worklist.
Task                           TS91700001
Visualization Type             ABAP Web Dynpro
APPLICATION     z_wd_pas
DYNPARAM     IV_WIID=${item.externalId}&period=${item.PERIOD}
NAMESPACE     SAP
SYSTEM_ALIAS     SAP_BSP_EREC
But we want to start the abap webdynpro application with a dynamic parameter: period 07.2010 or 08.2010 or MM.YYYY. This parameter is a container element of the task, filled when the task is created. Also other parameters are available in the abap webdynpro application.

PERIOD                              SPMON
PERNR     00000000     PERSNO
Can we set the dynamic parameter list DYNPARAM from the task
or should we read the container in our abap webdynpro application described in http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/IntegratingWebDynproABAPapplicationswithUWLforworkflowin+Portal?

Before calling the function SWF_WSC_START_LH_DIALOG the parameters for the abap webdynpro should be defined. Is this possible ?
Thanks for your suggestions.

Attach Interactive Forum to Workflow from a Webdynpro ABAP application

I have a webdynpro ABAP application which has an Interactive form. After the user enters the form and clicks on 'Submit', I trigger a workflow for Approval. My requirement is to add this same form as an attachment to the workflow. I know I can do this by adding the Fileupload UI element and letting the user browse to the file after saving it. But I want to attach it directly without the user having to save the form to Desktop first.
I tried passing the pdf_source(XSTRING) to the container and it does attaches a pdf to the workflow but when I open it, the form is blank and user entered values are missing.
Please respond only if you know the solution and don't send me links to other forums on SDN, I have read them all.

sharing the solution always helps some or the other person seeking similar answers to their problems. It would be good to share your solution in this open community. It helps.

Debugging ABAP Code From Within WebDynpro

Hi experts,
I would like to check whether i can debug ABAP code from within webdynpro if i m using a remote J2EE server.
So netweaver development studio is on my machine
J2ee server is on a remote machine
R/3 is also on another remote machine
Thanks.
Rgds,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
One thing note here is
"You have debugging authorization in the ABAP Workbench in the relevant system.
Since debugging in the ABAP system via load balancing is not supported, you must reconfigure your JCO destinations so that the calls take place on a dedicated ABAP application server. For Web Dynpro, this is done in the Web Dynpro Content Administrator. In the destination maintenance, specify Single Server Connection as the Destination Type ".
Other than that ideally it works with j2ee and abap on diff systems.

Webdynpro abap to workflow attachments

Hi gurus,
I have opened same meaasge in workflow forum also since I was not sure which will be more helpful.
I added the attachment to workflow using the following code from my webdynpro abap application:
DATA: lv_xstring TYPE xstring,
        att_id TYPE swr_att_id,
        ls_msg_ln TYPE TABLE OF swr_messag,
        ls_msg_str TYPE TABLE OF swr_mstruc,
        lv_objkey TYPE swr_att_doc_id,
         ls_header             TYPE swr_att_header.
lv_xstring = lv_file.
ls_header-file_type      = 'B'.
ls_header-file_name      = 'Attachment'.
ls_header-language       = sy-langu.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD'
    EXPORTING
      workitem_id          = lv_wi_id
      att_header           = ls_header
     att_bin              = lv_xstring
     do_commit            = 'X'
   IMPORTING
     return_code          = rc
     att_id               = att_id
TABLES
   message_lines        = ls_msg_ln
   message_struct       = ls_msg_str .
I see the attachments in the workitem but am unable to open the attachment.
Another question is how can I show the same documents in another webdynpro application as attachments.
Thanks,

Hyperlink to launch webdynpro abap from workflow

Hi Guys,
We have developed WORKFLOW where we need to send HYPERLINK along with WORKITEM to the AGENTS.
When ever the user(AGENT) clicks on the HYPERLINK we need to launch our WEBDYNPRO ABAP APPLIOCATION.
Please guide me to achieve this scenario.
Thanks&regards,
Harsha P

Hi
I think you have to check the below points as Karri has suggested you some good points, and still if you face some issues then
1. Make sure you have made the workitem ID as URL parameters.
2. You should be able to access the URL parameters from Default method of the Window.
3. Make sure the URL that you are generating is correct , by looking at URL I felt like some thing is missing, like if you have observed the url of any webdynpro applicaiotn it may be some thing like
https://<domain>.50000/sap/bc/webdynpro/.... and this is purely my guess so make sure th URL you are populating is correct.
@Rick
Why do you keep saying "kemp" when the sign-off is "Karri"?
May be you should concentrate on suggesting some thing useful regarding thread issue, rather than how the others signature is or suggesting something how to call or address the other forum participants. Its just a suggestion....
Don't mind its just a friendly advise.

Once we maintain the Task and WebDynpro application in SWFVISU and Register in UWL,
Is that the context has been genarated automatically in component controller with structures in task container and an Interface with the name of the application.
If its not, how to interface Task container data structure with component controller and how to create interface to access task container data.

HI Geek,
We are trying to retrieve the workitem id from the web dynpro abap application.
We have the similar issue and we have done the all things but some where, some things is missing.
1. When we debug the application, from within the R/3, it directly goes to the init method of the main view.
We are trying to debug the window - handle default method code, but the control is not able to reach that part. Plz suggest.
2. Also, can u plz send the steps, to be in place, to retrieving the workitem id from the workflow in the web dynpro application.

Debugging is not working in R/3 from WebDynpro-ABAP developed webpage input

Dear Friends,
We are facing a serious problem for debugging. Expecting valuable input for the same.
Debugging is not working in R/3 from WebDynpro-ABAP developed webpage input in Production Server.
The debugging (for WebDynpro-ABAP application) is working in Dev. Server for
1st ] Within R/3
Ex. debug for bapi within R/3. i.e. value enter as input in R/3 only.
2nd ] From webpage to R/3
Ex. Some input given on the internet web page developed through WebDynpro and external breakpoint set in R/3 it works. It directs to R/3 code through debugging.
In Prod. Server the 1st case above is working but the 2nd case is not working.
In Prod. Server the WebDynpro developed applications are running successfully through internet explorer webpage inputs. So running the application is not a problem in prod. Server but debugging of the same is the problem.
The setting which are done in Prod. server are,
1] RZ10 in parameters are set for port and host name.
2.1] In SMICM check for ICM.
2.2] Host file updated in Windows-System 32.
3] In SICF following services are active,
3.1] default_host/sap/bc/webdynpro
3.2] default_host/sap/public/bc
3.3] default_host/sap/public/bc/webdynpro/viewdesigner

3.5] default_host/sap/public/icman
3.6] default_host/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui
3.7] default_host/sap/public/ping
3.8] default_host/sap/bc/error
3.9] default_host/sap/bc/echo
4] In SE80
4.1] Internet services-System-are published
4.2] Internet services-WEBGUI-are published
4.3] Utilities-Setting-ABAP Editor-Debugging-Username & New Debugger set.
4.4] Utilities-Setting-ABAP Editor-Editor-Front-End Editor(New) set.
5] In Su01 for user profiles sap_all & sap_new is assigned and role SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_DEBUGGER is assigned.
6] The support packages are also updated to latest level.
7] Gone through following links but not getting any clues.

Create PMD (Clinical Document) Document from Webdynpro ABAP

Greetings everyone,
I have developed two PMD document category(Tcode :N2T6 ) for Clinical documents in SAP R/3 and somehow with the limitation of R/3 in terms of developing user friendly screens like Auto fill and image processing etc...,Users do not satisfy with it.So we are planning to develop in Webdynpro ABAP.But i am not sure how do we integrate the webdynpro development with IS-H PMD (clinical documents) documents ,also I am looking for BAPI's to create our customized parameterized documents.Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Vignesh

Hi Vignesh,
You are right that certain features, such as auto-completion, are not supported in the PMD toolset. But as most of the data captured in those documents have a high importance for treatment process, you need to elobarate whether such a feature has any impact on patient safety. Just a quick one - user types An ... and the system determines matching diagnoses such Anorexia or Angina. In case the user picks the wrong one by accident the patient safety is an issue.
Other features such as image management can be used. For that you need to use a PMD link module which does provide the image integration. Siemens will ship in the next release EhP6 such a link module for a third party imaging software. Beforehand the link module use with custom development.
In general Siemens has started a product redesign program named "Smart UI". It's major aim is to provide an up-to-date user interface for all major application within i.s.h.med. The very first application we plan to ship is a web-based electronical medical record.
In case you still want to develop your application, I'm sorry to say, but there are no BAPIs or Web services in the standard delivery. For changes to existing documents you can utilize the PMD API of generator version 2. But be aware that document creation is not supported by the API. You need to have a document. Also certain user exit developments may brake a change without having the GUI running. For instance a popup in the save routine will cause a dump if no SAP GUI is available.
Hope this help.
