Integrating email with guided procedures

Hi GP Experts,
I want to be able to send/receive emails form guided procedures. When I try to configure adapters there are only 2 types available, POP3 and IMAP4. I am unable to use these because of security issues. How else can I integrate email into guided procedures? We have Lotus Notes with a Domino server and we can use Groupware services to integrate this into the portal. Can we somehow use this for getting GP's to email? What alternatives do I have?
All suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks
Kunal.

Hi,
Thanks, yes I have already set up SMTP for sending emails. I want to receive emails in Guided Procedures, for example if someone fills in an offline pdf form and then clicks submit, it should be delivered to the GP inbox ie '[email protected]'.
What do I need to do this, my understanding was I needed to setup a pop3 or imap4 adapter, then I can use the email templates within GP correct?
If this cannot be achieved without pop3 or imap4 what are my alternatives?
Thanks again,
Kunal.

Wf-XML with Guided Procedures to start other workflows e.g BusinessWorkflow

HI!
Is it possible with Guided Procedures to create a Wf-XML file and send it to an other Workflow engine, to start a process with the parameter defined in the XML file ? This would be required to start an webflow in R/3 Business Workflow. This Webflow accepts 3 different kinds of Wf-XML standards or SOAP. But i cannot find this in GP. Are there callable object that are able to create this XML files and sent it over HTTP or are there any work-around? Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I hope this link will use for SAP Workflows in defferent systems but nothing about connecting Workflow with GP.

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.

Henrique.

Integrating Lotus Notes with Guided Procedure Task

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to see Guided Procedure Tasks in Lotus Notes. Is this integration possible?
We have UWL in portal to check the tasks.
Instead of going to the portal to open Actions, can we get the task link in Lotus Notes Inbox?
Thanks,
Runal

Thanks George
Using GP APIs we can check tasks for processes through Lotus Notes, instead of going to the netweaver portal's UWL list.
But GP APIs does not support WD ABAP.
So integration of lotus notes with GP is only possible using WD JAVA.
Thanks,

WDA with GP - Web dyn pro Abap intergration with Guided procedure

Hi All,
I tried integrating a WDA - Webdynpro ABAP application in Guided procedure. Though I was able to create a CO - Callable object out of the WDA , I am not able to access the WDA input and output parameters, I just want to know, where am I going wrong?
Does anybody have any leads? Thanks in advance.

hii prab
if u want integrate Webdynpro ABAP applications ....
by using Webdynpro IVIEW Template....we can do it..
u should create Technical system under SLD and configure SSO
& u should create sytem object and system alias..
this is the procedure for integrate the Webdynpro ABAP applications

Interactive Form with Guided Procedure Error

Hi,
I have a guided procedure with a callable object defined to send an email with an attached interactive form. When I execute the guided procedure I keep getting the following error. I have setup the smtp setting under caf/eu/gp/model according to the Configuring GP for Interactive Forms guide.
The mail communication for client application id:0768334F5EF53307986C90435843D119 is not registered. Please contact Bounced Mails administrator:<>
Also note if I have a guided procedure just to send a email notification without an adobe interactive form it works fine.
We are using adobe 8.0 and netweaver 7.0 sp12.
Any help would be appricated.

Hi,
I also have a similar issue where i have to validate whether the user submitting the offline form is an user who has authorisation ( a table storing user credentails) .
Were you able to solve this issue of security in offline form.
Appreciate if you can throw some light.

Problem with Guided Procedure

Hello,
using the Guided Procedures I have modeled an approval workflow.
After a requester submits a request, the request should be delegated to an approver.
However, when the requester actually submit the request, I get an error message which reads "Activity could not be read" and the workflow does not continue with the approver.
Does anyone has an idea, what could be wrong?
Best regards

Hi Fazal,
Check the Callable object in GP design time , whether it is giving u the expected output.
The callable objects work just fine and provide the expected outputs.
Nwa--> Problem management --> Logs and Traces --> Log Viewer.
in the log viewer, u will find the root cause for the error message.
Unfortunately, I cannot find (see below) any other root cause. It seems that the problem occurs either when completing the first or starting the second action. However, both callable objects work fine when tested in the design time.
Edit: It seems that the problem occurs when completing the first action. What could be the reason for that?

Sending email from guided procedure (Outgoing Email)

Hi all, i have a technical question over here.
In visual administrator,
I go to the server->services->caf/eu/gp/model to configure my
SMTP.SERVER and SMTP.SERVICE_USER_MAIL atttribute.
for the smtp server, i am using a gmail server, smtp.gmail.com.
However, the problem is when i do testing in my interactive form callable object. I encounter problem stating i need to issue a STARTLS.
I am wondering if i need to enable SSL in visual administrator to use gmail's smtp server? If so, can some one advise me how can i do it.
many tks..

Colin,
Have a look at section "Setting up Mail templates & Creating an Approval Callable object" in this [help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/4a/d78041a17e060de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]

Guided Procedures - Integration of Webdynpro Java with Adobe Interactive fo

Hi All,
We have created Webdynpro java application with Adobe interactive forms.It works fine in NWDS and also in Webdynpro Content Administrator.
When we have called this component in Guided Procedures (callable object - Webdynpro (GP Interface)), the form screen has not displayed.
Plz help us..

Hi,
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,

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

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 - mail notification keeps sending

Hi,
I created a process with Guided Procedures using a Sent Notification Callable Object. Unfortunately GP keeps sending the same email over and over again even if I cancel all running GP processes. How can I stop this and why is it doing this?
Best regards,
Kevin

Hi Chandana,
I was able to locate the running process responsible for the notifications and stop it. The problem was that I assigned a non-existing user to the process step that followed the send notification callable object. I can imagine that the system ran in some kind of error state when the process reached the step assigned to an unkown user and then repeated the previous step which was the mail notification. Although the process itself was modelled incorrectly, the GP engine should not repeat sending notifications.
Regards,
Kevin

Guided Procedures: Initiate a new Process

Hi All!!
I'm working with IP (Integration Planning) for a forecast of sales. In Portal 7 and BW 7. I want to organize all the steps involved in this process creating a Guided Procedure, so that the user can assign roles per every task, could review the status of this process all time, and receive and send alerts, etc.
My problem is that with Guided Procedures It's necessary to "initiate a new process" and assign roles per task every time that we need to start the process again. It's very difficult to do because we have n versions per month and the permissions in tasks are always the same.
Is there a way to "keep" the permissions per task in every new process??
And another question, We'd like to give a more nice interface to the users, and that they do not have to enter to the role "Guided Procedures" every time.
Is there a way to access this functionality from other tool like Visual Comoser ?
Thnks a lot!
Yolanda.

I must stress that I have very limited experience with the guided procedures, and never created anything that I saw going into production.
However, as far as I recall, if it really is as you say you can then hardcode the roles in the solution. There should also be possibilities for a sort of role concept, but nothing as advanced as in Business Workflow from what I could gather (which is one of several issues explaining why nothing went into production).
With regards to the second question I don't have a clue.
