Outlook Express Integration with SAP Business workflow

Hi,
There is a user requirement for Outlook Express Integration with SAP Business workflow for PR approvals.
They want a link to be put in there outlook inbox so that the approvers can directly release the PR's worklist without seperately login into the SAP system. We are using 4.7 version.
I went through some ABAP material where i came across T-Code SCOT and Program RSWUWFML to schedule a job to pull worklists. But Iam not sure about this.
I want to know that whether this is possible in first place and if it is then how can we do it.
Regards
Vivek Nair

Hi ,
Thanks for the link..
but its not the one I have been looking for ragarding the mentioned scenario.
!)A User will be present in both outlook express and SAP system ,when we add a security group (SG *) in outlook expressthe user will get authorization on Portal screen.
2) After assigning a role in R/3 ,we should add the security group to that use for some access permission.
Could u pls explain me how the concept could be and Integration method.
Thanks in advance
I appreciate all your help.

IFbA capabilities for integration with sap business workflow

Hi Everybody,
Here I have some questions concerning to IFbA needing your kind help ASAP:
1, Adobe compatibility with 46C
Any sample of solution on this, better with Business workflow running in 4.6C
2, Content management
How to manage a IFBA big file and attachment in workflow environment?
3, Portal integration
If IFBA could be integrated into IBM portal and how?
4, Partialy data input and authorization control
As to the IFbA used in a workflow，is it possible to set form properties and rights so that only permited users at some stage can see/change some specific fields. Here it should have some dynamic adaptability to different users, that is different users will have different experience to the same form.
Thanks in advance!

Outlook 2003 Integration with SAP

Hi there,
I am currently looking at various email management systems for an enterprise implementation and would like to enquire of all the ubiquitous Outlook Integration software packages out there, which of them are fully supported by SAP and which from your past experiences would you recommend based on reliability, integrity and accuracy.
The packages would need to support Outlook 2003. Ideally the integration into Outlook must enable the user to store and retrieve emails from DMS or any other SAP repository. SAP will not be intended to be used as a content repository for the storage of ALL emails, but emails will be filtered according to business value by the user, before it is decided to be stored in SAP.
Kind Regards
Tanesh Naidoo

Hi Tanesh,
generally it is possible to store your mail in the SAP DMS system. The only thing you have to maintain is a new workstation application for file format *.msg. Then you can save your emails, add it to a document info record and check them in.
In transaction DC30 where you maintain the new workstation application you can also define how these originals will be opened if you display it in DMS transaction CV02N or CV03N. I would recommend you to set the parameter %AUTO% for all application types under 'Define Workstation Application in Network'.
Further it would be possible to use EasyDMS application for storing emails and originals easily. EasyDMS is installed separatly on your PC and connects to the R/3 system by using RFC connections. With this DMS 'light' application you can also add new originals into your backend system very easy because EasyDMS is integrated in the Windows Explorer. You can navigate in a folder structure very similar as in the Windows explorer. For further information please see the WIKI pages for EasyDMS under https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/plm/sapDocumentManagement+%28CA-DMS%29.
Best regards,
Christoph
P.S.: Please reward points for useful information.

Integration of SAP Business Workflow and Webdynpro

Hello colleague,
Could you pls. provide any pointers in configuring the following scenario:
There is a SAP workflow configured in R/3. When one of the steps of the workflow is executed I have to trigger a Web Dynpro (for ABAP) screen.
Say its an approval workflow and when the manager clicks on the workitem in the inbox a webdynpro screen will pop up indicating the requisite information. The manager can approve or reject the based on information on the screen. The user action will be taken and the workflow will proceed based on that.
Any pointers in this will be of great help.

Gajendra.

Rename "BPM and Workflow" forum to "SAP Business Workflow"

G'Day,
99% of posts in the [BPM and Workflow|SAP Business Workflow; forum deal with SAP Business Workflow. It was originally intended for ccBPM which - though they share some underlying architecture - is basically XI / PI.
A few ccBPM posts occasionally appear in the WF forum, but they are generally not answered and more appropriate in XI. These days I usually move them to XI when it's clear that the 'local' population won't answer it.
So to avoid confusion for people I propose to rename the forum to SAP Business Workflow or at least something that doesn't confuse it with XI.
Any input welcome.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Well, you probably already know what I think ;).
If there is little to no traffic for BPM, then let's call the forum what it is, SAP Business Workflow - Or Workflow and Guided Procedures?
Sidebar: I posted a question to various forums a few weeks ago, regarding 'How can SAP, and ASUG WF/BPM serve you better'. I am summarizing the responses I got below, in hopes that it helps guide you in your quest. The names have been excluded to protect the identities, but I think there is some very valuable info in here. Particularly the final point - which I will follow up on with the respondent.
Anyway, you didn't ask for it, but here it is.
> 1. Have you attended any webcasts related to SAP lately?
No. Not lately, and not ever. (I suppose I am old-fashioned...)
> 2. Are there any topics related to Workflow and BPM that you think are
> important for the 'community'?
Integrating workflows and guided procedures - e.g. enhancing existing workflows to use browser interfaces.
> 3. Looking ahead a year, what do you see as challenges in this area?
Processes that can be executed either in R/3 or in browsers, with information about the process progress etc, as in Guided Procedures. This will probably be the developers nightmare for the next few years.
1. Have you attended any webcasts related to SAP lately?
-yes I did - quite a few, but mostly on web related stuff and XI.
2. Are there any topics related to Workflow and BPM that you think are important for the 'community'?
- personally for me, I still find the guided procedure in Portals not so user friendly and limited. I think more education and influence around GP will be great. I think the community will also appreciate it.
3. Looking ahead a year, what do you see as challenges in this area?
- GP and UWL. I think the concept of "IT doing the first time and the business managing their rules" would be challenging. I have not yet seen this happen, especially on the logistics side. There is a session this year on the same topic at TechEd and I look forward to this session. Hopefully it will help us get some insight.
Right now I am struggling with even getting Workflow off the ground and getting the business to understand what Workflow is and trying to have them budget for it. Workflow is still new to the functional group and even getting them to consider Workflow verse alternatives is somewhat of a challenge. I really have had a great consultant that has taken me under his wing and taken the time to teach me. I think we would be a great story for a presentation.
My challenges for the next year, is how to get over the hump of selling workflow to the business and actually getting projects planned out. I don't know if anyone has an anwer to that one. My other challege is how to handle transfer of knowledge and maintaining workflow that has been built by consultants.
1) I have not attended many SAP webcasts (just one on Solution Manager in the past few months) I'm planning on attending one this comming Monday on BPM.
2) I think understanding UWL / SBWP differences, advantages, limitations on one vs the other, would be an important topic.   Also more information on Extended Notiications
3) Challenges: Upgrades and impact on WF, Unicode and WF and having more WF ABAP OO objects delivered by SAP, other than the "Absence Notification" sample.
1.       I havenu2019t personally attended but as a company we give a webinar once a week and weu2019ve had some great attendance
2.       Technically I think weu2019re OK. We see the need to tell C-level execs where workflow / BPM can help them in businessu2026.
_3.       Workflow is becoming more and more obscure in the SAP landscapeu2026

How to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form

Hi Experts,
I am working on SAP Business Workflow since last couple of years.
Now i have got a new Project where client wants to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form.
I am new to Interactive Adobe Form and Portal thing and i really dont know from where to start.
We have one central system and 2 local systems. when we do create a Material document using adobe form workflow should trigger and notification should go to group of users who can approve or reject it, once they approve it document gets created in central system and replicated to 2 local system through ALE.
In the Local system they do extend the document to different plants, again workflow triggers and notification will go to Managers inbox for the approval.
Once the final approval done data should go and store in SAP.
Now here i have couple of Questions.
1. In SAP R3 Business workflow when i execute the workitem from the inbox i do get the application screen ( i.e. MM01 MRP View ) , what is going to happen if the same case i have with Adobe form?? is it possible or do we have to design a adobe form and we will have to map the fields with backend application??
2. Do i have to maintained 3 separate Org Structure for 3 different system or using UWL i can manage the show
3. Untill final submit is not done, where the application data is going to be, is there any kind of buffer that we will have to keep it or its there with XML file??
Please help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
Welcome to ADOBE Forms related Workflow Development. Well, here are my answers.
1) You can go for either go for ISR based development or WD development with Adobe form. In both the cases you can achieve your requirement. Yes, you will have to design the Adobe form and bind the fields to backend.
2) Am not clear or your System landscape to advice you in these regards.
3) Until final Submit/Approval is done, the data can be stored in WORKFLOW CONTAINERS or XML FORM(If you go for ISR based Development).
Hope this helps.

Can SOA replace SAP Business Workflow?

I finished BIT600 and covered the practicals on 300 pages of the 500 pages of BIT601. Now I hear that the company I work for will replace workflow with SOA? I not that informed on SOA, but would it be possible for this to replace SAP Business Workflow? It doesn't make sense.
SAP Business Workflow is fully integrated to SAP Business Processes with events/triggers through Business Objects and classes. It manages business processes and error handling. Also, it has the background jobs set up to monitor deadlines. From what I gather SOA is middleware? How is it supposed to replace Workflow?
Thanks,
Adrian

I agree with you.
SOA is a Service Oriente Architecture... a set of principles and methodologies for designing and developing software in the form of interoperable services. BPM is a SAP component that helps you model, execute, and monitor your business processes based on a common process model.
These are 2 concepts completely different each other in my opinion... it doesn't have any sense.

Extended Notifications for SAP Business Workflow

Hi expert,
i need your help!!
i have configured the "Extended Notifications for SAP Business Workflow" with the tnx SWNADMIN and this was successful. I can write emails, but i can read this only on SAP GUI with the tnx SOST. I don't receive email on my email-address.
can you say me, where is the problem?
Thank you in advance
marcel

Hi Marcel
Rope in your Basis Guy!
Basically, your Extended notif part is working fine..... emails reaching SOST is proof. Going out of SAP may need basis config.
What do you see, a yellow triangle or a red light in SOST?

Brief discussion on SAP XI and its' Integration with SAP MDM.

Hi,
I have never worked on SAP XI.
I am discussing it on brief, please give your valuable replies.
SAP XI consists of System Landascape Directory(SLD).
SLD Consists of Business System and Techinical System.
Technical System contains all information about the software
component. The Business System consists of Inbound and Outbound Business
System which are used as logical names for data transfer.
There is communication Channel for Receiver and Sender Business System and n agreement
is signed between Sender and Receiver.
Outbound Interface defined for Business System Outbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System,
Inbound Interface defined for Business System Inbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System.
In SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Directory, we have defined the Integration Scenarios,
Actions, Interface Objects, Mapping Objects, Adapters Objects.
Mapping Object defines the Structure and Value Mapping.
Adapter Objects defines the Adapter program which implements RFC Adapter, FTP Adapter logic.
FTP Adapter is used for XI-MDM Communication.
RFC Adapter is used for XI-ECC Communication.
Integration Repository: Both Outbound and Inbound Interfaces are Mapped with Value mapping and
Structure Mapping inside Integration Repository.
The File Adapter takes the File from the Outbound port of MDM System
and sends it as IDOC to Receiver Business System.
Value Mapping must be done between Sender and Receiver interfaces.
Value Mapping is done by XSLT or Java based program.
SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Server at runtime:
Message Split, Interface Determination, Receiver Identifaction, Mapping, Techincal Routing
and Call Adapter Proccess are done.
In SAP XI 3.0 and MDM 5.5:
Step 1: Create busines system as service.
Step 2: Create communication channel for each business service. If the system can communicate
through different channels, then create all possible channel types if necessary.
Step 3: Create receiver agreement between the systems.
Step 4: Interface determination:
- Here you see for the first time the software component mentioned;
there are some special requirements regarding this software component in relation to the customizing ID mapping.
- To modify this software component, the customer needs to copy the SAP standard delivered software component
into its own namespace. The customer is able to modify to create archives
for the customized ID mapping.
Receiver determination.
Configure an FTP Server on the MDS.
Create a send folder for outbound messages using outbound port(s) for
remote systems(s).
Create receive folder inbound messages using inbound port(s) for remote systems.
This ia all about concept of SAP XI Infractsture and its' Integration with SAP MDM 5.5.
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

Hi Kaushik,
You must be aware of File types that MDM Import Manager can Import i.e. we have XML, Excel etc. Now there are two transactions to extract data from R3
1. MDMGX -
         - For lookup table extraction
         - Output in XML format which MDM can import without using XI.
          - FTP can be configured to put the file in the desired folder which will be then picked by Import Server.
2. MDM_CLNT_EXTR -
          - For Main table records.
          - Output is in Idoc format which MDM doesn't understand hence we need XI in between which converts Idoc file received from R3 into XML which can then be imported using Import Manager or Import Server. For this we need to implement XI Scenario that consists of Source System, Receiver System, Type of Data etc.
Just a basic understanding...

Jitesh Talreja

Difference SAP Business Workflow and ccBPM

Hi,
well both mentioned are for connecting Applications. In my point of view there is only a difference in...
SAP Business Workflow:
connects Applications via Tasks across SAP-Systems
ccBPM:
with help of PI it should connect Applications via Adapter and is only message-driven!
am I right?!
Can someone please explain how to implement Business Workflow in SAP-Systems?! I am only aware of ccBPM!
