Showing SAP workflows on portal

Hi All,
We have a SAP workflow running on our ECC server. After every step mail is trigerred to the concerned person with an icon in that mail, when user clicks on the icon SAP GUI opens with the business inbox where he can select the task and execute it.
Now my requirement is i need to execute this process through Portal, that is in the mail that is triggered from backend there should be a portal link and when clicked on that link portal screen should open up with the assigned SAP task in it.
Any pointers will he very helpful.
Thanks,
Namrata

Hello Namrata,
You can use the UWL (Universal Work List) concept of SAP, which connects the workflow tasks to portal. The hyper link that is passed to the users inbox can direct them to execute the workflow task.

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 Mahendran ,
Thanks for the details.
The host is hanatrial.ondemand.com
I checked your account configurations on Cloud Portal and it looks correct.
Did you change your trust settings on your account cockpit?
Please go to: https://account.hanatrial.ondemand.com/cockpit >> Trust and make sure that the settings there are default ones.

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.

How to route the information to approver with out involving sap workflows.

Hi Developers,
i have a doubt regarding how the requester filled form information will be send to approver with out involving SAP workflows in the portal.
Normally i know the procedure where users fills the form with the approver details, the filled information is routed to approver UWL by trigerring a function module thru webdynpro.
But i need to know is there any procedure to route the information without involving any backends.
Thanks in Advance.

Michele is correct - sneep will help you get the serial from the running domain on the M3000 ,
and it is a good idea to install STB on your machines.
If that isn't possible for you, then sneep can be downloaded directly from [http://www.sun.com/sneep]
I believe that on this platform, sneep gets the serial from the output of prtconf.
There is a minor correction to be made :
After installed SNEEP use "man sneep" for all technical details.The sneep man page is not linked into the shared man pages, so you need to use
man -M /opt/SUNWsneep/man sneep
with out going to OK prompt (Banner)It is worth noting that the serial shown in the OBP banner is not the product serial
that you will find on the physical serial tag.
The banner "serial" is the decimal equivalent of the host ID, which you normally get in hexadecimal from the "hostid" command.

SAP Workflow vs. Guided Procedures

Hello experts,
could anyone explain the differences between SAP workflow and Guided Procedures???
I know that workflows are just compatibel with a ABAP Stack. Is there a document which compares both process technologies???
Can I use CAF for SAP workflow???
Can I use the Visual Composer to create the UI for a workflow???
Thank you very much
Regards
Marco

Hi Martin!
Because my tutor and my professor want to know, if it's possible to start a GP-process from SAP WebFlow automatically if a certain step is reached in WebFlow.
I have a process as an example and in that process company A works with Workflow and company B, who is responsible for maintenance of a machine works with Guided Procedures.
When a machine is damaged a Guided Procedure process of company B should be started and after reparing and end of GP the SAPWorkflow should continue.
The normal way via iporting a WSDL file isn't possible because SAP WebFlow doesn't support SOAP Binding which is necessary for Guided Procedures.
However in Guided Procedure it's possible to create an URL of a process instantiation. And if you call that URL in your Browser with parameters "process.template.id = xxxxx" and "process.autostart=t" the process will be started automatically.
So for the first, I just want to call the URL from SAP WebFlow to trigger the GP process. (the handler customizing is done correctly) So I thought with transaction "wf_extsrv" it's possible if you refer to the URL of the process instantiation with process.template.id and process.autostart=t.
Then generate a task and start the GP-process with the activity referring to the task. That would be a first step to show if it's possible.
If yes.
Then I can attend to pay attention to the export and import parameters.
Can you follow me?
I hope so.
I think that post is much too long.
If you want I can write you my ideas exactly via email.

No mail is sent from SAP Workflow

Hi
We are sending mail from SAP Workflow to Lotus notes email. We have made the correct configuration in su01d for users whom we are sending by mentioning email address and communication method as email. We have also checked that program RSCONN01 is running periodically. We checked the SCOT transaction and no entries has been registered from SAP Workflow. we have defined SMTP node as required but still nothing happens.
I have also tried to send mail from SBWP but no entries is registered. Can you tell me what is the problem. I think it might be the issue between linkage between SAP and mail server. Can anyone tell me what needs to be checked here. I have done config for SICF Tcode also.
Thanks
Arghadip

> I have also tried to send mail from SBWP but no entries is registered.
Are you still not able to send mail from SBWP? You need to fix this problem first, then you can start worrying about the workflow mail-sending capability.The user which sends e-mail needs to have an e-mail address defined in the user record.
Try defining an e-mail address for your own user and send an e-mail from SBWP. This should show up in SCOT, either as waiting in the queue, or (if you have bad luck with your timing) as sent e-mail. If the e-mail doesn't even show up in SCOT, ask Basis to help you figure out what is wrong.

Integration of ABAP workflow with portal

Hello Experts,
Need urgent help on UWL configuration.
We have integrated our ABAP workflow with portal through UWL.
We have a Ad Hoc link in the ABAP workflow which takes us to some transaction. For some reason we are not able to view that link when we see this workflow through portal.
1. Is is possible to show any Ad hoc links from ABAP workflow into portals?
2. If yes, what is the process for the same? We did not get any relevant documents.
Any inputs/sugessions are most welcome.
Ashutosh

Hi Ashutosh,
Can you please send me the documents how did you resolve this issue?

Status of R/3 Workflow in Portal

Hi,
Is it possible to display the request number and status of the R/3 workflow in Portal? Do we need any custom development or we can call a transaction for it?

> 1. How to web enable a standard transaction?
You need to have your SMICM and SICF settings in place and running.
> 1. Is web enabling for a standard transaction and
> custom transaction done in the same way? If not, how

In ITS you need to develop and publish an Internet service which is roughly an equivalent to r/3 transaction.

I'm not entirely familiar with the SAP portal solution, but once the service is published through ITS it is accessible through any browser, so any portal not just from SAP should be able to display it.
One big benefit of having 640 over earlier versions is to have one sap instance serve the web pages to your browser.
The actual human interface of "web-enabled" transactions is very similar to standard sapgui, so it looks like the old transaction, but is often slower and more clunky.

CAF Java-Based COs with SAP Workflows as Runtime Environment?

Hi Folks,
we have a big CAF project hitting us at the moment.
Due to the heavy load we expect we do want to have the traditional SAP workflows as the runtime environment for our GPs.
As far as I know we can transfer WFs designed with CAF GP to the R/3 WF system, right?
My question is know: Can we still develop in Java our CAF objects and use them as we would do that in a portal based GP??
If this should be possible - is this creating an overhead killing the benefit we gain by shifting from portal to the ABAP stack?
Any hint is appreciated!
helge

Hi Helge,
Technically, there is no transfer from Guided Procedures to the R/3 Workflow since the process definitions still stay in the GP Design Time. The business logic still takes place on the Java Stack. Only the low-level workflow operations are delegated to the r/3 Workflow.
That's a difficult dilemma that you are facing right now. As far as I know, the configuration to get Guided Procedures running against the Business Workflow (R/3 Workflow) is quite complex and time consuming. Main pain points are callbacks registrations for background steps, user mapping and endpoints configuration. These are the main tasks. But to reach the right configuration, you will have to be tricky and patient.
Furthermore, there will be an overhead due the RFC Roundtrips between the Java Stack and the ABAP Stack.
Hope this helps you.
Best regards,
David

Vendors for e-workflow and Portal

Hi All,
I would like to know SAP partner vendors for e-Workflow and Portal.
Thanks.

I can't get the short URL to work within a workflow. There is something with the combination of letters and numbers and other characters that when the link gets created, it fails.
Short URL just comes from the Portal.
Refer to this link

View my saprouter config from SAP support web portal ?

Hello,
We're planning to change our saprouter IP address, and I just thinking - is it possible to view current registered saprouter config (IP address and etc) using SAP support web portal ? I mean to view it changes after SAP receives saprouter network config change message.
Or it's just secure info not available on SAP support portal ?
thanks
Vilius

If you go to the SAP Support Portal -> Data Administration and edit any of the system you'll be able to see and choose between the registered SAP Routers and it will show the IP Address and other details
