Offline SAP Workflow Approvals

Hi,
We're looking into implement the capability to allow users to approval SAP workflow via outlook email without having to login to SAP client. Our users do not want to have SAP client installed on their desktop at all.
So far, I found off-the-shelf software DESKTOPWORKPLACE and DUET (Microsft & SAP joint product). Does anyone know of other released comparable products out there available?
Thank you.
Jennifer Tran

Hi Jennifer,
We can use RSWUWFML or RSWUWFML2 programs to set in background to send an email to external address from SAP Inbox open work items. For ex. if there is an Approval/Reject workitem is there, an email will be sent to the responsible agents via email. A hyperlink will be provided in email using which the users can reply back to the SAP system without even logging to SAP system.
SAP will process the incoming email and perform the action on the workitem. I worked on such feature in EBP 3.5 standard workflows.
Reward points if useful.
Rgds,
Kumar

ALternatives for simplified Workflow approvals in SAP

Are there any clients that do sap workflow approval from a web by using an SAP middleware (connector). NO EP Please !.
Basically a web based SAP workflow approval that would give a simplified and unified look and feel. We are using a 4.6C R/3 system with a 4.6D Basis layer.

Hi,
you can install and use SAP ITS (Internet Transaction Server).
There is a standard EWTs (Easy Web Transaction) for Workflow Inbox there.
You can approve your Wf workitems from the standard transaction in WebGUI, from your own generated EWT (standard function of the ABAP Worflow Modeller) or you can create you own EWT.
The optimal solution is to use e-mail notification for each new Wf workitem with URL to approval EWT in message body and Wf Inbox EWT on Intranet.
I can send you some screenshots.

Offline approval workflow not working - SRM 5.0

Hi Team,
Suddenly we have an issue in SRM production server with Offline approval workflow, inbound mails are not getting processed in SOIN and workitems are not getting cleared. So document status is not getting changed.
There is no problem in receiving the mail, we have all configurations setup as per below link,
Offline approval - general configuration - Supplier Relationship Management - SCN Wiki
Incoming mails are received to system user and then auto-forwarded to dialog user. Dialog user is used to schedule the batch job - RBBP_OFFLINE_EVAL.
Please help to resolve this issue,
Thanks

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.

What's the work can we do for the position SAP-Workflow developer live link

Hi,
I got the requirement as a workflow developer.
The requirement is to work as a SAP-Workflow live link open text developer.
What does the live link open text means?
Early reply is highely appriciable.
Regards,
Chow.

Hi,
OpenText is a company providing different document management and archiving solutions. LiveLink is one of their archiving solutions. (Just use Google for more reference.)
My guess is that you need to work with a workflow process that involves archiving of scanned invoices.

Hi,
1. BIT600, SAP WebFlow
2. BIT601, SAP Webflow - Build and Use

How to triger SAP workflow after save in t-code RMWB

Dear friends,
After execute t-code RMWB, I could click save button to save it. but my requirement is to triger the SAP workflow to send an email.
My question is, how to triger this SAP workflow after clicking save in t-code RMWB?
Thanks a lot!

Use this function module in a Exit or BADI or Enhancement spot during SAVE
SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW
I THINK IT CAN BE DONE BY CREATING A SPOT IN "CALL METHOD GO_APPL->MO_RMWB->SAVE" IN PROGRAM OF RMWB

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 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

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.

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.
