SAP Business Workflow and The Workflow Reference Model

Hi Experts,
I try to map the Business Workflow with the Workflow Reference Model of WfMC.
Interface 3 represents the communication of SAP's Workflow Engine with "Invoked (external) Applications".
My Questions are:
- which applications, tools can be invoked (Webservices, Group Ware Products)
- and which component realizes Interface 3?
(can I say that interface 3 is realized with different steps like web-activity,
or the normal activity-step (WebFlow Service Handler) ? )
Or is there a certain technology that is representative for realization of interface 3 ? e.g. WfXML or SOAP?
Thanks in advance

Difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow

Hello guys,
Is there any difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow?
Are there others workflows types in SAP?
In all SAP Workflow Courses (BIT600, BIT601, BIT603, BIT610) only was talked about SAP Business Workflow, and nothing about CRM Workflow.
Thanks a lot!
Kleber

Hello Kleber,
There is not much of the differance between CRM workflows and SAP Business workflows..
Workflows are esentially part of Basis (BC) components and hence its the same across all SAP products as all these products have components of Basis(BC) in them...
To Conclude, SAP Busines workflows and CRM workflows are the same things... However when you work on CRM, the BOR objects would be belonging to CRM and not to ECC... However conceptwise , there in no change at all.. If you learn BIT100......, you can also work on CRM workflows..

FM to read the different steps in workflow and the status at each step

Hi All,
Is there any FM in SAP which gives the detail roadmap of the steps taken in a workflow and the diffrent status or decision at each step.
I am looking for something like what you see when you click on the "STARTED WORKFLOW" in the business workplace outbox.
Which shows up the "steps in the process so far " and the decision and the agents for each of them.
Thanks,
Charan.

Hi,
You can get the status according to the task. please check with FM "SAP_WAPI_GET_WI_DELTA".

(Video) LightSwitch Cloud Business Apps and SharePoint Workflows

You can create advanced enterprise applications when you incorporate Visual Studio LightSwitch Cloud Business Apps and SharePoint Workflows into your solutions. Microsoft SharePoint workflows are powerful, but the non-code version created with the SharePoint
Designer do not allow you to implement complex data bound business rules without making web service HTTP calls. You can make these calls to Visual Studio LightSwitch Cloud Business Apps.

Protocal between ADF Business Service (ADF -AM) and the ADF Faces Model.

Hi,
Anyone knows how the communication is happening between ADF-AM and the ADF Faces model ? I mean the protocol? Is it handling by the application server container with the help of ADF libraries?
I knew in ADF Faces and EJB the communication is hap[ping via RMI/IIOP (standard EJB call). But in the ADF BC and application module i am bit confused about the access. I knew we can expose the AM as state full session bean. But by default how that is happening. Experts please help me to understand the architectural concept of this.

Hi,
the question is not basic and valid too. Just wanted to understand the motivation behind it
For bc4j i am not sure. can we full fill the above deployment scenario?
Yes, you can. ADF BC allows you to deploy the business service as an EJB 2.1 model and then have the Data Control hooking up to it (JNDI).
Apart from this i would like to know the communication protocol (by default) between ADF BC application module and the view model which is the data control. In ejb when we create the data control we can specify that is Local or remote ( Some people said the EJB binding is not full supported in some cases but for ADF-bc it is). But how this is happening in the ADF-BC.
It would work like a normal EJB client. The ADF BC client interface would reside on the web tier and access the remote business service. So there is nothing different here than when using EJB. However, not that it uses EJB 2.1 still and that we don't see customers using this approach in a web deployment. It made lots of sense (performance) in desktop application development with ADF BC, but in web application development a remote business service access doesn't seem to be state of the art (and even using straight EJB you would use the local interface and have the business service model reside on the same machine as the web module)

SAP Business One and Moving Database Issue

We are in the process of moving our PROD system to a new server. The server runs MS SQL 2005. We installed SAP Business One and by default the demo databases went to the C Drive (C:/Program Files/MS SQL Server/..../Data). The SQL Server that exists has data on D partition and logs on E partition. We therefore dettach the database, copy the files to the correct locations, and reattach.
Now, however, the SAP Business One application no longer finds the Company or Demo databases. Is there any way to fix this?
Cheers John

you should post your question in the Business One section at SAP Business One Application

Errors were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot be run.

Greetings All,
I am having issues with a SharePoint Designer workflow. This is a SharePoint 2013 environment, I'm using SharePoint Designer 2013 and working on a SharePoint 2010 workflow. I'm developing this as a SharePoint 2010 workflow because I need to do
impersonation.
The environment and workflow have been running, in the past week, without issue. I went to add a couple steps and now I cannot publish the workflow. While in SharePoint Designer, I receive the error:
"Errors were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot be run." When I click the Advanced button on the error dialog, the message is "Unexpected error on server associating the workflow."
That is all the error information I have available; nothing is in the log files.
I have investigated this error and tried the following:
Cleared the SharePoint Designer cache.
The WebApp.UserDefinedWorkflowMaximumComplexity was at 7000 so I increased it to 10000. Restarted the servers (which may not have been necessary) and tried again receiving the same error. I then increased it to 30000 with the same error result.
Since this is a large workflow, I tried created a workflow with a single action, write to workflow log, with the same error results.
I reboot the servers and try again and now I can publish the small test workflow but not the original. However, neither will run. When I attempt to manually run the small test workflow on an item, I get an error: "Sorry something went wrong.
An unexpected error occurs. I checked the log files for the correlation id and nothing, nothing was logged for the error. ~arg~
Also, now no workflows can be published in this web app. Not just the one I was working on but none of them!
Does anyone have a clue what has happened to the SharePoint 2010 workflow service? Or some suggestions for me to try?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Sagar,
I appreciate it but if you see my original post, this is a SharePoint 2010 workflow that cannot be published; which has now caused all SharePoint 2010 workflows in the same web app to error.
Your first link is specific to SharePoint 2013 workflows.
Your second link refers to the UserDefinedWorkflowMaximumComplexity. If you read my original post, I've already tried this and I've tried to publish a small (single activity) workflow.
Your third link also refers to large workflows with many approval activities. My workflow doesn't contain any approval activities.
And you fourth link refers to 2013 workflows not 2010.
My issue is with publishing and running a SharePoint 2010 workflow in SharePoint 2013.
Thank you...

Query on SAP Business Object and Content shipment..

I know about SAP Business Suite... & SAP Business One... But what is :
1. SAP Business Object and
2. Content Shipment
The definitions on the SAP Release & Maintenance Strategy and other docs on SDN were not too clear for my understanding. I want to know why are they used / where are they applied ? E.g: if you have a SAP BW system.. why would you need SAP BW Content ? where does it fit in the picture and what purpose does it serve...
(PS: it would be great if someone can share the product / functionality details of their landscape where these systems are used, how does it benefit the business operations and any other purpose of having them... )
Thanks,

Hi Ashim,
If your client want it to be done in one database, then the answer is no if you do not have any add-on or SDK codes. Most difficult part is authorization since I believe what you mean project here is not the same as project center in B1,
If your client allow more than one database, then the configuration will be easy.
Thanks,
Gordon

Reg: Diff between SAP business suite and Business One

Hi Guru,
We are planning to implement SAP in our industry.
Now we are planning to implement SAP Business one. After three years we will bring in complete SAP implementation.
1.Can you please tell the difference between complete SAP Implementation and SAP B1.
2.Could you please explain, if we implement SAP B1 right now. will there be any problem if we go for complete implementation.
3.If the business grows above one billion,will B1 hold good?
4.What is the business suite?
Thanks & Regards,
S.Nehru

Nehru,
thank you for considering SAP solutions.
W regards to question 1 and 4, in short:
SAP Business Suite on traditional relational databases or on HANA is the most extensive SAP set of SAP Business application and includes the SAP applications ERP, CRM, SCM (Supply Chain) SRM (Supplier Relationship) and PLM (Product Lifecycle)
A1 is based on SAP Business Suite and tailored by SAP partners.
B1 is a separate product, so is Business by Design.
All solutions are integrated and used by the largest global enterprises and their subsidiaries as well as by SME small and midsize enterprises, depending on their requirements.
Please see Solution overview of SME solution for more details on A1, B1 and Business by Design.
In addition to the Business Applications, SAP also offers Business Networks Solutions like ARIBA and Concur.
The majority of SAP customers are SME customers: At the end of the third quarter of 2014, SAP has more than 263,000 customers, of which more than 80 percent, or 212,500, are SME's.
Without knowing more details, it would be not professional from my site to provide an answer to your question 2 and 3. Please work with your local SAP partner or SAP Account Executive to validate your approach.
Thank you
