Portal and Workflow

How can workflow be integrated with Portal. Can anyone point me
to some good documentation or samples? Thanks in advance.

Hi Manisha
Oracle Workflow Release 2.6.2, which will ship with iAS v2 (there
will be some annoucements on release schedule in the next few
weeks, will support Single Sign On and LDAP integration.
In the meantime, you could look into whether your version of
Portal/Login Server supports Basic Authentication, if it does,
then you could set this up so users do not have to login.

Error in SSO between Portal and IDM

Hi All,
In my scenario i need to configure the IDM workflow in portal and do SSO between them. I followed the steps given in IDM-Workflow installation document and did following things.
1. Uploaded the par file available in IDM installation kit in to portal.
2. Imported the Portal Content package (epa file) in to portal.I got the role Identity Center in my masthead.
3. Created System as said in the document.
4. Completed the necessary steps for transporting certificate between them.
But when click on the role 'Identy Center' or do preview of any iViews of IDM i am getting the following error.
Portal runtime error.
An exception occurred while processing your request. Send the exception ID to your portal administrator.

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

Workflow is a more basis related component. This component allows you to configure SAP system to trigger the mail straight to the Inbox of the manager. It can be related to approval of PR or PO or it can be of anyother purpose. The main purpose is the manager need not to login GUI screen for approval. He could select the approval button in his outlook mail(This mail will contain complete details of purchase order), it will automaticall update in SAP back end.
Workflow will be per Business object. BO can be PR, PO etc.It is possible to set the event by when the workflow should trigger. For example it should trigger when the purchaser creates a PO and saves it . The saving action is called event. After the event is triggerred system will check for the starting conditions. It is possible to define starting condition per workflow. It is like your release strategy. If the value of PO is less than 1000 then it should be approved by one manager, if values >1000 then it should undergo approval from 2 managers.
There are plenty of predefined workflows which could be used straigt according to the purpose expected.However workflow is delicate and has to be configured with utmost care in proper sequence to avoid in consistencies.

Portal content workflow

Hi all,
Does the Oracle Portal support workflow in updating the portal content, i.e. when a portal user tries to update the content, then the Portal will not apply the content until this update is approved by a reviewer of the content.
Regards,
Ayman Alashquar

Hi Jiri, Thank you for your reply.
I don't have access to unix box so I can't verify 'CollectionreleasedOnly' property. Is there any way to verify it from UCM UI.
I see everything is working fine in UCM. If contributor check in a new document, approver can see that in 'My workflow assignment'. Problem is only with content presenter. Content presenter does not show new document if its in workflow. Content presenter only shows document if atleast one revision is in released status.
If we follow these steps:
1. Contribute checks in a new document --> Document goes in workflow successfully and approver can see document from 'My workflow assignment'. BUT same document is not visible to approver in webcenter portal if content presenter is used to show document. This is the actual problem.
2. Let say approver approves the document from UCM 'My workflow assignment' --> Now everyone can see the document as its in released status.
3. Now if contributor checks out and check in a new version --> Document goes in workflow successfully and approver can see document from 'My workflow assignment'. Approver can also see document from content presenter. By default content presenter will show published version of document. If Approver goes in edit mode (ctrl+shift+c), he can approve/reject/preview workflow version of same document. Its working perfectly as expected.
So question is why content presenter is not showing workflow document when its checked in first time?
Thanks
Sanjeev

Validations and workflows

hi.....can any one tell me wat is meant by validations and workflows and the difference between them. And plz explain me the functions and there syntax .....

Hi,
Validations are used in MDM data manager for the data compliance i.e to check the structure of data if it is according to the business standards or not.Validations are written in data manager and applied and the result(True /False) are used for further actions.
Ex like a record Emailid is there.A validation is written to check if there is @,.com,.in etc are there or not.If not then email-id is not proper so we will make that email-id value blank by calling a assignments on the basis of the result of validations .
Have a look at the following links.They will help you to understand them better.
Validations:
MDM Validations
New Webinar About Validations with MDM 5.5
Workflow as the word suggest ,is to make the business solution to be in working format by including all the process of data add/update/import/ Validating/De-duplication/merging etc(as per business req.)
Workflow is used to automate the whole process.

How to transport the validations, assignments, named searches, and workflow

Hi Experts
How to transport the validations, assignments, named searches, and workflow
between two repositories.
Thanks
Vickey.

Hi Vickey,
In MDM 5.5 you can use the Archive /Unarchive option for it
You can refer the below link:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20751e78-f81f-2a10-228f-eb3a16421b4d(Export/Import Schema)
Note:Export/Import schema can also be used for Transportation in MDM however as of MDM 5.5 the maps,validations and workflows cannot be transported.
From MDM 7.1 version onwards you can use the Export/Import Schema as well
You can refer the below link:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0dd1ae0-36e5-2b10-f8b4-e6365e643c0b
Hope It Helped

Book on Weblogic Portal and beehive page flow portal integration

I request oracle press to write a book on Weblogic Portal as well as Creating pageflow based portlets with weblogic portal and workshop.
The old edocs.bea.com documentation sucks and does not meet the oracle press standard.
Thanks
Biren

The Beta 9.2 Team,
9.2 features sounds good and interesting. We are using BEA's Content management system(8.1) extensively.
Our requirement is to create a portlet for Content Owner/Users to create HTML documents with images and upload it into BEA Repository. Upon uploading, Content Admin needs to be notified through email and they will either approve or reject the document. The content status again needs to be notified to the content owner/user via email.
1. As known to everyone 8.1 doesn't have WYSIWYG editor and is included in 9.2. Can i reuse the 9.2 WYSIWYG functionality into 8.1 as a portlet??
2. The following thread(http://forums.bea.com/bea/message.jspa?messageID=400001479&tstart=0) says
- workflow ==> We have limited workflow support. We plan to enhance this in our next major release.
Does this limited workflow support include email notification?
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
-Nach.

Hi All,
I am a new to webcenter portal and got a problem when trying to configure internal workflow.
According to the oracle document, "http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29542_01/doc.1111/e27603/cont_workflow.htm#WCPAA11225"
it should have an "Workflow Settings" menu item in the folder details page.
But my webcenter portal don't have it.

Any comments, suggestion or information are welcome.

I just spoke to the Oracle App server admins, the two servers in question are clustered.
So my question changes slightly to:
What is the best way to install and configure a webgate for clustered Oracle App servers with mulitple virtual hosts, that are residing behind a load balancer (Traffic Manager)?
Thanks,

External access to Portal and CRM B2B

Hi,
We have the sap portal and also CRM Java ..we have deployed the CRM Business package on the portal and used the portal IView to call the CRM java application. What is the best way to expose both the portal and CRM java to the external users?
I know we can achieve this using sap webdisatcher, but there are certain limitation in sap webdispatcher when dealing with two separte host name..so please let me know how expose both portal and crm to the external users.
Thanks

First of all you need to have your network infrastructure in terms of Security Zones, SAP has a standard recommendation that I have always use when possible for growing your landscape and exposing your Solutions to either internal or external users:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/9d/44d7bc73ddce4f96f09de874350e78/content.htm
Depending on your security needs you can have 2 portals 1 external facing portal and one internal facing portal, or just 1 portal installed in the Inner DMZ , there is no formula is what your Architects prefer and there are pros and cons in any scenario.
Now answering your question you do not need to expose both instances (CRM and Portal) you only need to expose SAP Portal because the purpose of Portal is to provide a single point of access to your u201Cbackendu201D solutions in your case. So Sap Web Dispatcher will be good choice or you can use a Hardware Load Balancing, if this is for external users then you need HA.
Hope this helps.

NetWeaver Portal and ERP 6.0: BI, ESS/MSS and full Portal on one machine

Hello,
with ERP 6.0 you need a EP Core Portal for BI Java. An other EP Core Portal for HCM ECC/MSS. The iViews from this portal you integrate in the main portal via federated portal. But in this scenario i need to much portals and have a lot of maintenance costs (administration overhead for evry portal). For a small Customer i will build one Portal for all. It is possible e.g. to use the BI Portal with ESS/MSS and as full portal?
Best regards,
Patrick

Hi,
So you would like one BI installation with both the ABAP and the Java-stack with the full BI-functionallity and additionally the XSS-component and set it up to work against the ECC ABAP-only system ?
I think the scenario would actually work, but:
1) You might get future problems if you want to upgrade your BI-system and not the ECC-system.
Is it possible to run the old XSS-components in the new java-stack ?
2) You might get future problems if you want to upgrade your ECC-system and not the BI-system.
What if the new version of the XSS-component demands certain java-components which the BI-system do not have.
So my recommendation is still to run the java-stack on both systems.
ECC with the XSS-java-components and BI with the Bi-java-components.
This way you do not lock yourself into a corner and each system can be upgrade independent of the other.

SSO between Portal and Nakia.....problem with SSO... library not found..

Hi Sdn's and Nakisa tehnical experts,
We have a Portal environment 7.02 , a Nakisa environment 3.0 (CE) and and HR backend environment 701 (604).
We are busy setting up SSO between Portal and Nakisa via the, URL iview for the Org chart (http://<host>:<port>OrgChart/default.jsp).
We have done as indicated in wiki:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/SAPSSOAuthenticationwithverify.pseusingSAPSSOEXT
We are however stil having issues with the SSO and in the cds.log the following is being displayed:
++01 Aug 2011 13:11:42 ERROR com.nakisa.Logger - com.mysap.sso.SSO2Ticket : Could not load library: sapsecu.dll - java.lang.Exception: MySapInitialize failed: rc= 14null++

++01 Aug 2011 13:11:42 ERROR com.nakisa.Logger - com.nakisa.framework.login.Credentials_SapSso : Internal error (9) - No SSF error (0)++
Can someone indicate what I am doing wrong?
Regards Dries

Hi Luke,
thanks a lot for your help so far.
I have created a root/XML folder under the diretory, and the path is now as follows:
K:\usr\sap\NKP\J14\j2ee\cluster\apps\Nakisa\OrgChart\servlet_jsp\OrgChart\root\.system\Admin_Config\__000__Sasol_DEV_LIVE\.delta\root\XML
It seems like it finds the verify.pse, but not the library, sapsecu.dll.
My credentials.xml file is as follows:
<credentials>
<assembly name="SapSso"/>
<info>
    <item name="PseFilePath">XML\verify.pse</item>
    <item name="SsfLibFilePath">XML\sapsecu.dll</item>
    <item name="PsePassword"></item>
    <item name="WindowsPlatform">64</item>
    <item name="TicketFile"></item>
    <item name="Base64decode">true</item>
   </info>
</credentials>
I however stilll get the following in the cds.log

Any ideas? Should I maybe hardcode the location in the credentials.xml?

SSO between Portal and Java WD application

Hi Experts,
I am using CE 7.2 on localhost and I am very new to SAP.
I need to know how can I get SSO between Portal and Java WD. I have a WD application that displays the logged in user using "IUser currentUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser()", as well I can use "IUser user = UMFactory.getAuthenticator().getLoggedInUser()". Both work.
Q1. What is the difference in the 2 above?
Q2. My WD application is set to authenticate user. The WD application is in URL iView. I need SSO between Portal and WD application. Is there a way to get this SSO without SAP Backend (ECC), for now I just need SSO between Portal and Java WD appl.
Everything is in localhost.
Please advice. Thanks.

> need to know how can I get SSO between Portal and Java WD.
Then I suggest you ask your question in the Web Dynpro Java forum instead of the Web Dynpro ABAP one.
