SAP workflow process integration

Can i access SAP-workflow through portals/websites??
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can execute the work items in your sap inbox from a portal. Its called as UNIVERSAL WORKLIST. Check for UWL documents at hel.sap.com, you have to do a small user mapping followed by some configuration settings in your portal server to make it work.

Hi,
This was one of the good session...
Especially the features such as;
-- TCP/IP connection control with JMS adapters
-- Empty file Handling
-- Set the various Attributes for Mail attachments via dynamic configuration (intially only subject line was possible)
-- Message Prioritization
-- single IDOC Ack for IDOC Packaging
-- IDOC packaging
-- and many more........................
Even the future indicatioon of IDOC J2EE based adapter will provide new direction to the existion IDOC related scenarios..
One thing that was changed in IDOC packaging is to control it via Sender Communication channel...intially we were doing it either via ECC system or with t-code "idxpw"
Its almost in same way...but from J2EE based adapter perceptive IDOC packaging will be available with Java stack...and will no need to depend only ABAp stack for this feature.
Thanks

System Copy SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1 documentation incorrect

I am trying to a Homogeneous System Copy on PI 7.1 SP07. I don't want to do a
Copying the Primary Application Server Instance Only
Because (as the documentation says) "As of SAP NetWeaver based on kernel 7.1, you can copy a primary application server instance only. With this procedure you can move a primary application server instance to a different host within your system."
I don't want to move my system to another system. I just want to do a Database refresh. That option is not available when I run SAPINST.
I see the option for database refresh in the manual, but it's not a sapinst selection
6.3Copying the Database Only u2013 Refresh
With this procedure you can refresh the content of an existing database without having to copy the primary application server instance and to reinstall additional applications servers.
I'm using the latest SAPINST and I have the correct DVD from Service Marketplace.
This database refresh option appears in both the "distributed system" selection under system copy --> target --> distribute system.
"SAP NetWeaver Process Integration -> Software Life-Cycle Options --> System Copy --> Target System --> Distributed System --> Based on AS ABAP and AS Java --> Database Refresh or Move".
Is that the correct choice? Why is the documentation wrong?
"SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1 including Enhancement Package" and "System Copy for SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1". So it must be correct (I think).
I do see the database refresh option under the "

Thanks for the reply. So I would do this:
"Copying the Primary Application Server Instance Only
Because (as the documentation says) "As of SAP NetWeaver based on kernel 7.1, you can copy a primary application server instance only. With this procedure you can move a primary application server instance to a different host within your system."
and then do the "database refresh" option under "distributed systems"?
Is that correct?

Difference between SAP PI ( Process Integration ) and SAP PO ( Process Orchestration )

Hi,
What is SAP PO ( Process Orchestration ) ? How SAP PO is different from SAP PI.
Regards
Ravi Grover

Hi Ravi,
You can refer above helpful links, shared by hareesh and Harish
Here is one heirarchy for better understanding of NW PO
PI is straight forward : either Single Stack(AEX) or DS
In SAP NW PO(bundle of PI + BPM + BRM) we have 3 options:
1. We have Single stack option , on one System i.e. All together, BRM(Java) + BPM(Java) + PI(AEX)
2. We have Single stack option, on Seperate Systems i.e. {BRM(Java) + BPM(Java)} on one system + PI(AEX) on seperate
3. BPM(Java) + BRM(Java) on one system and PI(DS) on one system
However PI 7.31 can also be installed individually(i.e. without NW BPM and BRM)
Thanks,
Aman

SAP Workflow integrated with Microsoft Outlook

Hello All,
I have the following question. When an work item comes in the SBWP inbox, as soon as the work item is executed by the user
the workitem disappears from the SBWP. Now my question is if SAP Workflow is integrated with Microsoft Outlook (so that email containing the work item as a link reaches Outlook), is there a way to make the email disappear from the Outlook as soon as the SAP work item is completed.
Can someone throw some light on the same.
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi,
Duet workflow scenario is available. SAP Application sends workitem to Duet Server and Outlook client has Duet add-in. You need Duet Server and user license.
Also SAP MAPI Service Provider is available. You can access SAP Inbox items from your outlook client. I think SAP MAPI Service provider is free.

Difference between Workflow and Integration Process

Hi Experts,
Can someone please explain, what is the difference between the workflow and integration process(BPM).
Thanks
Sree

Hi Sree,
Integration Processes are :-
--Message based
--Interface focused
--Cross component
--Have no support for human interaction
--Enabled with SAP XI
Workflows are:-
--Object based
--Human focused
--Intra-application
--Have no support for mapping, routing or message transformations
--Enabled with the SAP Web AS
However, most automated business processes involve a combination of the two.
I hope this clear your doubt.

Upgrade SAP 7.1 Process Integration

Hello to All.
I have a question about Process Integration .Recently I upgrade to SAP PI 7.1 so I need test all components
When I clicking in a BPM. I cannot edit because show a message :"Objects in commponent cannot be changed because the original it's no defined"
Can you help me.?
Thanks and regards.

Hi,
If you import the Software Component you cannot modify be default.Enable the Objects are Modifiable option for SWC
Use these two attributes to define the properties for all objects of the software component version:
a. Objects Are Original Objects:
The objects of the software component version are the original objects in the repository belonging to the Integration Builder, and should only be modified in this repository. There can only be one original object, in other words, you must not set this attribute for multiple software component versions of other repositories simultaneously.
b. Objects Are Modifiable:
When set, this attribute enables you to change objects in the software component version. Use this attribute to lock all objects against changes, if required.
regards
Ganga

Integrating Workflow Process and Business Events

Hi,
Im trying to use events in oracle workflow process..im trying to run the demo
process named 'Workflow Agent Ping / Acknowledge'. I have scheduled the listeners for local inbound agent WF_IN and propagations for local outbound agents WF_OUT. The master ping process begins executing and calls the detail ping process. The detail ping process begins execution but the process gets stuck on the receive event node.The process is not receiving the acknowledge event in return to the ping event. It does not move further,not allowing the detail ping process to complete, which as a result doesnot allow the master ping process to complete its execution.
How do i make it move?
Thankyou
Saadia

After launching the master process, check for the state of the message in WF_OUT queue. It could be that the message stays in READY state in WF_OUT and has not propagated to WF_IN queue.
Check if DB init parameters aq_tm_processes is set to 1 and it is running. If the message is not found in WF_OUT even after launching the proces, check if the queue is enabled for enqueue. Also check if the Business Event System is ENABLED.
SELECT text
FROM wf_resources
WHERE name = 'WF_SYSTEM_STATUS';

SAP Workflow as Enterprise BPM tool?

Howdy,
     This doesn't seem to fit in BPM Methodology Forum.... nor is it a purely technical question of SAP Workflow.
Another part of our company is starting vendor evaluation process for possible purchase of BPM tool (IBM Lombardi, Appian, Tibco, etc) after ruling out open source options.   Should I suggest they look at SAP Workflow & UWL as "existing/free" option we own?   Will it cleanly manage events from non-SAP applications?
Background:
1) We've never adopted SAP Workflow (expertise limited); maybe have three to five in Production.
2) Enterprise BPM requirements are to integrated various applications/events from various platforms worldwide (75% of events would not be SAP centric).
3) We've discontinued our XI server... all we had from SAP was SUS Interface (in 6 yrs). We have Tibco EMS & BW for middleware connectivity.   Will SAP Workflow/UWL function without SAP XI - will it integrate with Tibco?
4) Large population without SAPGUI., use UWL now from some actions... would need to use UWL for Enterprise access - or should consider BWSP?
Anything else that would help to answer the general question of using SAP Workflow for non-SAP events/data?
Thanks,

I was hoping for a better answer.... a work-around to use our Tibco infrastructure (repl XI) and "hooks" into SAP.   Darn....
I wasn't finding very many articles, etc. that were encouraging SAP Workflow as an Enterprise BPM.
But thanks for your experience and reply....

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

Difference between Process integration scenario and configuration scenario.

Hi,
Please tell me what is difference between Process integration scenarion and configuration scenarion in SAP PI.
Is Process integration scenario is BPM concept? also what is the advantages over configuration scenario.
Regards,
Manigandan

Hi Manigandan,
Speaking widely:
Process integration scenario: there is a ccBPM, like the workflow in ABAP, even when you one inside the PI it's generated a workflow in the ABAP stuck
Configuration scenario: it is object to link the integration directory and the esr/IR when you define the logic of your implementation. It isnt mandatory, but you can organize better you develoments if you make an scenario for a "real scenario" like a file to soap integration, you can define it like a configuration scenario.

Questions on SAP/SF PO Integration & SF BizX RBP

Dear Experts,
We are implementing SAP HCM and SF. SF goes live before SAP. We'll have a transition period from Flat File upload to SAP PO integration.
Would anyone have any recommendation on how to ensure a smooth seamless transition? We have tested in the test instance, and noticed some issues when SAP PO is turned on, i.e. User Name upper and lower cases, certain derived fields generated duplicate records, default locale was not passed from SAP and therefore overrides SF provisioning config, and users are not always in sync (bizX vs LMS). We will be using SOAP (Axis) Adapter for integration between SF and SAP.
A few questions:
1. Below are some of our data mapping, would appreciate if anyone has any recommendations/better suggestions or tips on these fields?
SAP Pers ID = SF User ID
SAP SSO ID (0105) = SF User Name (did anyone have issues with User ID - unique identifier and User Name - unique name for each user id?)
Manager field: we are using A002, if no value use B012, if no value use one up manager (by using one up manager, would this cause any issues?)
Time zone will be defaulted based on the employee's SAP ID (has anyone experienced issues with Timezone? especially for companies in Australia?)
Hire Date: is it true Hire Date must be in US format? When default locale is Eng_GB and timezone is Australia?
Initially we do not use Job code as it's not configured in SAP. We mapped Tilte = SAP Position Title. Is it possible to map SF LMS Job Title to Position Title in BizX?
Default Locale: we hard coded to "Eng_GB"
2. We would like to set up a filter to select certain population of employees to be passed to SF. In our case we would like to pass only employees with an ESS user role. Does anyone know if there is a way of identifying and picking up only ESS users to be sent to SF?
3. With Flat File integration, you recieve on screen error for pre import errors/warnings and an email notification after import. For SAP PO integration, we will have a nightly job to transfer employee data to SuccessFactors. Errors that occurred during the interface are stored in auto logs which are provided through the background job log. Is it true that the only way to check if there are failed/errored employees is by going into Webdypro and check the job log? Or would it be possible for SAP to send notifications of the pre PO errors and SF to send post PO errors? With Flat File load, the person whom imported the file will receive import status notification. With SAP PO since it is a batch job, how do we configure for a centralised email inbox to be the recipient?
4. BizX security question: we do not want to show employee MI to users. RBP is set up not to display MI, BizX displays correctly except for under Company Info -> Directory, employees' MI is still showing. Is there a way to hide MI completely from users?
5. We have experienced some User Connector issues, i.e. BizX and LMS are not always in sync, employees can be found in BizX but not always showing up in LMS. Does anyone have any tip or know the root cause for this issue?
6. Lastly, is it true you are not able to delete records EVER in SF? Even if the record was created by error and no learning history attached?
Thank you so much in advance. Any feedback is highly appreciated!!
Vera

Hi Vera,
What version and Support Package of the add-on are using?
1. These are some of my recommendations:
Manager field: we are using A002, if no value use B012, if no value use one up manager (by using one up manager, would this cause any issues?) >For this you need to ensure if there is no manager that the value is NO_MANAGER
Time zone will be defaulted based on the employee's SAP ID (has anyone experienced issues with Timezone? especially for companies in Australia?) >You need to ensure you have the exact correct Timezone text - ask your implementation partner for the text
Hire Date: is it true Hire Date must be in US format? When default locale is Eng_GB and timezone is Australia? >All date formats must be in US format (MM/DD/YYYY)
Default Locale: we hard coded to "Eng_GB" >It should be "EN_GB", not "Eng_GB"
2. You can do this with a report variant, but you'll need to ensure that users can be identified by the available criteria.
3. The WebDynpro is only for the Compensation process integration. I would post this specific question in the SAP NetWeaver Technical Integration with ERP
6. This is not true. You can use the Purge Data option.
Regarding questions 4 and 5, I need to put my SCN moderator hat on. Please can you create new posts as they are not related to integration and it is best practice to keep one topic to one post.
Best regards,
Luke

Whats the difference between PROCESS INTEGRATION & INTEGARTION PROCESS

hey All
I was just going through one of the tutorials provided in
http://www.help.sap.com , its related to Process Integartion Scenario and i also came across one more tutorial related to Integration Process.
For * Process Integration* it was there like *A Process Integration scenario is a design object of the Enterprise Services Builder, is uniquely identified by a name and a namespace, and is subject to versioning.*
url : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/ec/21ee117a909f44a8b69794b9ed6221/content.htm
for Integration Process it was +*An integration process is an executable cross-system process for processing messages. In an integration process you define all the process steps to be executed and the parameters relevant for controlling the process.
You apply integration processes when you want to define, control, and monitor complex business processes that extend across enterprise and application boundaries. The design and processing of integration processes is also known as cross-component Business Process Management (cross-component BPM, ccBPM), or service orchestration.

url :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/3c/831620a4f1044dba38b370f77835cc/content.htm
So my question is , whether both are same or different , as far my view it different , i think integration processes is one of term inside Process integration as told in URL , please guys see to this

Hi Abhishek,
Integration process (IP) refers to BPM. you will find the IP in the ccBPM, Business Process Management.
An integration process is an executable, cross-system process for processing messages.
Process Integration(PI), Now Xi is known as Process Integration PI is a term that is used to in the Integration Broker of the NetWeaver Architecture.

Mass Maintenance will recognize any customer record in workflow process

Hi gurus,
Please help me on the Workflow process, how to handle below workflow scenario, is there any logic be hand this.
please see in BOLD workflow issue.
1.2     As-Is Business Process
Currently Data Maintenance teams use standard SAP transaction XD07 to change Customer Account Groups. The standard transaction XD07 allows only one Customer Account Group to be changed at a time. The process is to be manually repeated for every customer. After the Account Group is changes in the request client (X07(10)), an RFC call is made to the BOR client (X07(20)) and then to the transaction client (X08(10)) to change the Customer Account Group as the SAP ALE process does not support Account Group Changesu2026
1.3     To-Be Business Process
From time to time, bulk customer data updates will be needed. This can be the result of business situations that cause multiple updates to be performed for given customer fields such as Customer Account Group field. A new program must be developed to let the user mass update the Customer Account Group field (KNA1-KTOKD). The Program should be accessed on demand using a new T.Code (YMDM_ACCTGRP_CHG).
Business users will submit a spreadsheet in the appropriate upload format to CDM along with written approval from the Food Service data owner to execute the upload in P07. CDM will execute the upload, record all documentation for the audit change log and notify the submitter when complete
1.4     To-Be Business Process Flow Diagram
1.5     Enhancement Functionality
The following are the requirements:
u2022     This tool will enable a user to perform bulk update to the customer account group field.
u2022     The utility should let the user upload a u201CTab delimitedu201D file to mass update the Account Group field.
u2022     The Load File will have 3 columns, Customer Number (KNA1-KUNNR), Current Account Group (KNA1-KTOKD) and New Account Group (KNA1-KTOKD).
u2022     The Program must utilize the process behind the standard SAP transaction XD07 to change customer Account Groups in X07(10).
u2022     The standard customer ALE (DEBMAS) process does not support Customer Account Group changes, so the mass change program must use the RFC functionality to change he Account Groups in the BOR (X07(20)) and Transaction system (X08(10)).
u2022     Workflows for all updates performed using this T.Code are automatically approved. No manual approval steps will be needed after data load.
u2022     Mass Maintenance will recognize any customer record that has an open workflow. If a customer record is already in the request queue, it is u201Coff limitsu201D for any bulk update. That update request to that particular customer record must be rejected.
u2022     Provide the option to run the process in validation mode and update mode.
u2022     Report all hard and soft legacy field errors on a validation report. All u201Chardu201D legacy field validations should be passed before allowing update mode to run.
u2022     The upload process will produce an error log for all records not loaded into the system.
