SAP Business Workflow and Webservice Integration

I have scenario in which I need to Integrate SAP Workflow with a Inhouse UI Application through Webservice.
Design:
I want to use the Workflow for Task management. However whenever user has to perform a event I want to push the work item into another inhouse application which has capability to invoke/receive webservice. The inhouse application should only perform user events and publish the message back to workflow. Work Item management will be done in SAP Workflow. I need to send the data container to and from SAP Workflow.
Is there any problem in the above design?
How can I achieve the same in SAP Workflow?
Can any one share the experience?

I would like to know as well about this, did you get an answer?
Thanks for any pointers.

  • 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..

  • SAP Business Workflow and SAP Netweaver Gateway - Missing extensible elements

    Hello,
    For a mobile project we use SAP Netweaver Gateway in order to retrieve information from workflows stored into SAP Business Workflow.
    We are able to retrieve standard informations for a workflow but custom fields added into "Extensible Elements" section are lost when exit SAP NG.
    We have checked the configuration of SAP NG (by 4 differents person) and it seems to be OK.
    Do you have an idea why the custom fields are lost during SAP NG processing ?
    Thanks in advance

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Hi,
    Org structure needs to be setup by HR, but you can set up org structure yourself. Its not a big deal. 601 will go thorough this process. Also you can have workflows without org structure.
    Go through this link
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70b074ac-fa1b-2a10-1587-bd084347fc56
    On help.sap.com, there is a demo for an absence request workflow. If you go through them, it should give you an idea of all the basic tcodes including the creation of a HR org structure, workflow build etc.

  • 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

    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?
