R/3 workflow information

Question

Is it possible to store "workflow" information in BW?  We currently use a customised program in R/3 to retrieve this information, but would prefer to access it via BW if possible.

Hi Niharika,
I think you have a typo in your code. You can retrieve the work item id by using [code]<Property name="DynamicParameter" value="wi_id=${item.<b>externalId</b>}" />[/code] instead of [code]<Property name="DynamicParameter" value="wi_id=${item.<b>externaId</b>}"/>[/code]
In addition, you can get values from the work item container by extracting them as custom attributes:
[code]<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS90000001.<system id>" connector="WebFlowConnector" ...>
  <ItemTypeCriteria ... />
  <CustomAttributes>
  <CustomAttributeSource id="WEBFLOW_CONTAINER" objectIdHolder="<element name>" ...>
  <Attribute name="<element name>" type="string" displayName="<element description>" />
  </CustomAttributeSource>
  </CustomAttributes>
  <Actions>
    <Action name="launchWebDynPro" handler="SAPWebDynproLauncher">
      <Properties>
        <Property name="DynamicParameter" value="<custom param>=${item.<element name>}" />
      </Properties>
      <Descriptions default="" />
    </Action>
  </Actions>
</ItemType>[/code]
Hope this helps,
Mikko
