SAP Workflow and GRC 10.1 Workflow

Hi all,
We are in the midst of upgrading our GRC system up to 10.1 and some questions are coming up about the workflows. In short are GRC workflows and SAP workflows the "same thing", i.e. if someone outside of the upgrade project were to learn how to create/maintain workflows within GRC 10.1 would they be able to turn around and run the same transactions within an ECC 6.0 environment and create SAP Business workflows? From what I have seen so far in my searching is that, they have the same basic principle but very different implementation/maintenance.
Any documentation that you are aware of from SAP showing this would be helpful as well.
Thanks

The basic mechanism is the same, but the GRC workflows are more fixed (they leave less room for the workflow to be changed) have build in screens, and relay on the BRF engine to determine approvers etc.
Workflows in the ECC give you a lot more room for implanting the workflow however you wish (use a decision task, asynchronous tasks, develop your own custom approval screen etc.) and some time required you to implement changes to the workflow object (set a user status, release a document etc.) and don't usually use the BRF.
So I would have to say that the answer is no, someone who learned how to implement the GRC workflows will not be able to turn around and immediately create workflows in the ECC.

Reading user input from a form within a workflow and perform actions in workflow based on the input

Sharepoint 2013
Need to get input from a user based on some condition within a workflow and based on the input received continue with the workflow. It can be a form with a text box and button to which i can redirect and when user enters a value and clicks on the button
,I should come back to the workflow and perform other processing. I should also be able to manually start this workflow from VS.
Tried different approaches like initiation forms ,user input action of SP2010 etc all of these approaches either add some tasks to task list or force me to click on the workflow link to get input from a user.
Any suggestions on this?

Hello
Thanks for the code, but I don't need an array of beans. By the way this code make a bean and an arraylist everytime it's called?
I was looking for something like this:
<form action="myjsp.jsp" method="post">
...so after submitting the result will go to the myjsp.jsp file and in the myjsp.jsp file
<jsp:useBean id="value" class"myBean">
<jsp:setpropertiy name"value" ....>so everytime I click the add button the values will go the mysjp.jsp file and that will set them in the javabean file. this method uses two files but I was looking for doing this in the same jsp file and not sending it to another file.

SAP IDM and GRC 5.3

Hi all,
I'm running SAP IDM 7.0 with GRC Provisioning Framework 5.3 and GRC 5.3 with AE/CC/...
When I test web task from the GRC Provisioning Framework "Sample WF Create GRC User" the process launched works but I'm facing the following problem:
If I put on the previous request 2 SAP Roles (with no conflict one first time), I see 2 requests created as "NEW" with 1 role each time. If I add 3 SAP Roles, I got 3 requests, ....
You understand so I never got conflict detected by Compliance Calibrator.
How should I proceed to get only 1 request with all SAP Role requested from SAP Identity Management?
I tried as well to change Priority, Type and Employee Type request attributes directly on the task "GRC - create account user with a single privilege", but sounds like SAP Identity Management does not send the correct value to SAP GRC 5.3
Thanks for your help,
Benjamin

Hi all,
Due to following notes
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1318053
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1168508
I upgrade SAP GRC 5.3 to SP7 Patch 1.
But now, when the SUMIT REQUEST is send to GRC from VDS, I'm facing an error that I did not get with SP5 or SP6 :
Exception from Add operation:javax.naming.NamingException: [LDAP: error code 1 - (GRC Submit Request:1:[msgcode=2010;msgdescription=SqlException occured while getting Global DueDate;msgtype=JAVA ERROR])]; remaining name 'cn=ZTEST0001,ou=submitrequest,o=grc'
I looked at VDS log files and VDS sounds to send a correct request :

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..

MDM workflows and UWL

Hello,
We have recently upgraded ourselves to MDM 5.5 SP4 Patch pack 4. This patch pack was intended to solve an earlier problem we faced when integrating Universal Worklist (UWL) with MDM.
Earlier the UWL would return error in case the MDM workflows had worklfow jobs which the user had to not "Accepted". If the user "Accepts" it using MDM Data Manager, then the record would appear on the UWL.
I wish to know how we can configure the "Accept" button on the UWL, so that the user sees all the "Available" workflows and can "Accept" the workflow job which he plans to work upon.
Thanks in advance,
PKS.

Hi Yogita,
Here is a document for you.l It shows how to configure MDM & BPM. From within this there is information in regards to the Universal Worklist:

You may also want to raise a post for this in MDM forum.

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.
Regards,
Gajendra.

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

Diffrences Between SAP HR workflow and SAP Logistics workflow

List of SAP workflows and objects

Hi,
Is there a easier or more general way to browse for SAP provided workflows and objects? I used SWUD as well as the Object Repository SW03. These seem quite bulky and you basically have to know what you are looking for before you look. I want to be able to see a listing of what is provided so I can browse workflows and objects that we may want to use.
Thanks

Try the Business Workflow Explorer, transaction SWDM.
Experiment with the different Criteria Tabs in the Selection pop-up window.
I mostly use the "Application components" tab or the "Object" tab.
Good luck!

Importing workflows from GRC 5.3 to GRC 10 and then changing them

Hello Experts,
We are migrating our SPM,RAR and CUP data from GRC 5.3 to GRC 10.1.At present in our CUP we have user access request workflow as 2 stage workflow.Now in GRC 10.1 we require a 1 stage workflow.
I wanted an advise if it would be feasable to import the GRC 5.3 workflows and then make changes into it and remove 1 stage.
Or create new workflows using BRF+.
we are not sure as to what changes can be performed in the GRC 5.3 imported workflows in GRC 10.
Please advise
Regards,
Apeksha

Hello Steve,
Migration you deploy Java component and extract data form 5.3 and import in 10.
still lots of work to be done like and implementation as there are pre-requisite.
second approach does not need to extract all data from 5.3 system(apart from Ruleset,if at all its required)
I never migrate workflows better to create new one identical and faster i believe .
Second approach is little time consuming but good from my point of view.
In java stack people normally go with 2 system landscape .
there has been client where in ABAP people go with 3 system landscape.
now where tricky consulting part play and which data to be imported where.
and few other points needed to be looked like when you use tools and import data.
you actually import all transaction data which contain all active and inactive
expired.
in you go with 2nd option you will have only valid data to start with.

Adobe livecycle workflow and SAP workflow

dear all,
              i am working in a new development project which is yet to be started.according to my client's description,the project deals with adobe forms with SAP as backend.
              i have studied and worked for one month on adobe livecycle forms and i have some knowledge about its products.but i didnt work on any SAP system.my doubt is that
      "WE HAVE ADOBE LIVECYCLE WORKFLOW IN THE WHOLE SUITE OF LIVECYCLE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS,WHICH CAN BE USEFUL TO BUILD WORKFLOWS AND IMPROVE BUSINESS PROCESSES WITH THE HELP OF BAM.BUT WHEN ADOBE FORMS AND ADOBE FORMS MANAGER ARE INTEGRATED IN SAP..WILL THE ADOBE WORKFLOW BE PRESENT AGAIN?OR IS IT GOING TO BE THE SAP WORKFLOW WHICH DEFINES THE BUSINESS PROCESSES AND INITIATES THE PROCESSES?? ALSO IF IT IS SAP WORKFLOW THEN WHAT IS THE NEED OF INTEGRATING ADOBE WITH SAP WITHOUT ADOBE LIVECYLE WORKFLOW.??
        i am looking forward for any answers from ppl.plzz help me out from this doubt.
                      regards..
                                                               raghava kumar v.s.s.

Hi Raghava,
correct, there are currently no plans to integrate Forms Manager into SAP although we have no alternative solution within SAP, i.e. you'd have to build something like Forms Manager for your purposes.
To get a general overview on the SAP integration, start here: <a href="http://sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms">http://sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms</a>
You need NetWeaver, because the Adobe functions are part of it. Web Dynpro is one of the environments that have Adobe forms functions integrated, it is the most suitable one for interactive scenarios.
We may have a different idea of what SAP is. To me, SAP comprises the business data in the ERP/CRM/etc. system and the technology components such as NetWeaver etc. Perhaps that's the misunderstanding.
Best,
Markus

GRC 10.0 Workflow customizing problem

Hi experts,
We are working with GRC Access Control 10.0 and when doing the customizing tasks related with workflows we have an issue that doesnt let us continue.
Here is the background information.
We are in the "IMG/Governance Risk and Compliance/General Settings/Workflow/Perform Automatic Workflow Customizing" or easiest, we are in transaction code SWU3.
Here we have: Maintain Runtime Environment, all green, Maintain Definition Environment, all green, Maintain Additional Settings and Services, a red cross :(.
So, when opening the tree of our red cross task, we find that the only task that is with a red cross is "Maintain Web Server".
So, we execute the task, and here we have the following information:
Service = Webflow (Internet)
Address web server = http://<our web server>:8000/
Protocol Address = HTTP
Path of service = sap/bc/workflow_xml/?
URL = http://<our web server>:8000/sap/bc/workflow_xml/?
And here is something that kept our attention. When we push the button to test the URL, our IE opens a page but it is in blank (it doesnt show anything).
As we saw that, we thought that the service was not active and so went to transaction SICF and checked it, and yes, when you test the service, it doesnt work.
We finally, checked support packages upgrades and went to SP5 in our GRC server and SP5 in both plugins in our SAP ERP server.
And, here we are. Have no idea what else to do or check.
Any suggestion?
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi,
I have just checked my SICF settings and found that we have not actually activated those services at all and our NWBC sessions work fine now.
Have you activated the sap/bc/nwbc and sap/bc/webdynpro services?
Also, have you activated the required BC sets for the standard content on Access Controls? This removes the need to do a lot of the basic setups but you still need to follow through the event linkages to check the successful generation etc.

Can approval workflow in GRC be avoided

Hi All
i have following query
Following are the steps
1) I am using Oracles Identity Management .
2) User data iam fetching from OIM
3) Iam using SAP GRC 5.3 ( CUP )
4) I am using SAPGRC_AC_IDM_SUBMITREQUEST web service for request Type ( eg ) say New ACCOUNT
5) A request id is generated
6) Now can i provision the user into the SAP backend system without the approval process
7) if yes then let us know how it is done
In short can we bypass the approval workflow in GRC ( as approval has to be done at Oracles Identity Management ) and directly provision the user into the SAP backend system
Thanks
Jagan

That's an easy one:
- go to the stage configuration of your provisioning workflow
- chose "No Stage" as the approver determinator
Done.
Frank.
