Start Guided procedure from VC

Hi
I have one visual composer interface with one button "create". I want to start a Guided procedure(GP) in a new window when user click this button. I have GP url. I can do this using html view. But i don't want "html view" icon on my interface. If i make html view visibility condition false, i am not able to open new window on user click.
anyone has any idea please reply...it is urgent

Hi,
create a new button and define system action "Hyperlink".
Maybe this will help.

Start Guided Procedures from WebFlow

Hi again!
Now we maybe found a way to start a Guided Procedures Process from SAP WebFlow. But then we encountered another problem.
To transfer parameters from SAP WebFlow via container-elements to the GP the SAP WebFlow parameters have to be equal with the technical parameters of Guided Procedures.
The problem is that Guided Procedures assigns the technical parameters automatically and adds a point and the number of the parameter.
The idea behind should be to differ parameters with the same name.
For example:
AUFNR = AUFNR.1
another parameter with the same name gets the technical name
AUFNR = AUFNR.2
But SAP WebFlow, especially ABAP, interprets a point as the end of a statement.
So you can not use elements in your container with a point (AUFNR.1)
My question.
Is it possible to affect the automatic allocation of a technical name of a parameter in Guided Procedures to avoid the point in that parameter?
I hope that there is someone who can help me.
It would be absurd if the parameter passing would fail solely because the technical names of GP-parameters contain a point.
Thanks for answers of every description

API for access of guided procedure from ABAP / WebDyn: change/read status

Hallo together,
I'm very new to guided procedure and have some questions about possible interaction between WebDynpro ABAP and Portal guided procedures (UWL ?)
is it possible to access a guided procedure or their attributes from WebDynpro ABAP? What are the relevant key attributes (ID's) to do so?
Is is possible to change the status of a guided procedures f.e. from "completed" to "ready" from outside, let say WebDynpro ABAP? for the purpose of a monitor for mgrs.
- possible szenario is a manager says: "no, not well done" go back to start and do it again !
- another szenario: guided procedure is "running" and should be set to "completed"
Any hint will be helpfull
Thanx very much in advance
regards Hans

Hi Hans,
There is a good and a bad news regarding APIs for GP and ABAP Web Dynpro and GP:
The good news is that you can find [here|http://help.sap.com/javadocs/nwce/current/gp/index.html] the APIs for GP.
The bad news is that the cooperation capabilities between GP and ABAP Web Dynpro are restricted in a certain way. One can use a ABAP Web Dynpro in GP as callable object, but GP is only capable to transport parameter values from GP to the UI but not vice versa. In many cases one needs a solution where the ABAP Web Dynpro UI accepts user inputs and forwards them to the GP context. This is not supported.

Jan

How to pass tables in Guided Procedures from VC

Hi experts!
I'am working in a workflow scenario, more precisely an approve-reject workflow scenario.
I've defined all the start and the end points belonging to the respective iviews (I mean the sender and the approver iviews), following the [Modeling Visual Composer iViews for Guided Procedures|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/44/429bbd709914bce10000000a155369/frameset.htm]
and everything works ok if I pass input fields, data fields, or boolean fields.
But I need to pass tables (In fact, I need to pass MORE THAN ONE table).... Is that possible?
How do I make it?
Any help will be apprecieated and point-rewarded.
Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Marcelo
P.S. I'm working on EP7 VC SP15

Hi,
If you'll create 2 iViews:
1. Table connected to end point (all the fields are mapped and table selection mode is multiple)
2. Table connected to start point with same fields.
and create GP process for it, you'll find that selecting all the fields and passing them will result with all the selected fields appear in the 2nd iView.
But, i don't know if you can pass the entire table automatically (without the user selecting all the records).
Hope I helped,
Shay

WebFlow to Guided Procedures

To all who feel addressed.
Since some days i'm trying to figure it out to start a Guided Procedures from SAP WebFlow.
The way to import a webservice (created with SAP Netweaver Developer Studio) as a wsdl-file in transaction "WFWS" is not possible because the WebFlow engine doesn't support SOAP BINDING and complex datatypes.
In Guided Procedures it's possible to create an URL for an instantiation-porcess (Initiation-URL) and so it is possible to start the GP-process automatically with that URL.
Does anyone know if it's possible to call this URL in a SAP Workflow and what is necessary to start this GP-process from SAP WebFlow?
Is it possible to use the transaction "wf_extsrv" to register that URL as a kind of Webservice and fill into the path field the URL and then generate a task that you can use in the Workflow Builder? (prerequistes are that the SAP WebFlow Handler is customized correctly)
I am quite new in that field and hope that someone has some experiences.
Thanks a lot in advance
Kind regards

How to enable disable result status of callable object in Guided Procedures

hi,
Currently we are using guided procedures to handle Life Event changes in ESS. Each process has sequential block with Respective actions and callable object assigned to each action.
Most of the callable objects we are using are either standard Java Webdynpro screens that came with ESS business package or custom ABAP Webdynpro's. When we created callable objects with these web dynpro's there is tab that sets result status like "Complete", "Exit" etc.
The issue we are currently facing with result status is, there is no way that control is passed to result status enabled for specific step of guided procedure from the callable object. For example we created callable object for Benefits enrollment screen with result status "Complete". When user initiated guided procedure to make changes to Benefits enrollment, make changes to plans and click save. Once User click Save we want to send control to result status to get enable, till then we don't want the "Complete" button to be enabled on the Guided procedure step.
Is there way to control the result status button based on the action performed by user in respective screen/step of Guided Procedure?
Could someone suggest is there better replacement for guided procedures where I can use some other framework/process to achieve better functionality than GP's.
Thanks
Ravi.

Guided procedures scenario, don't know where too start.

Hi all,
I am totally new to the CAF framework.
I've done a lot of reading and also did the tutorial "My first process".
The scenario:
I need to have a scenario where a user fills out an interactive form and submits this form. The data is also submitted in a SQL database.
His manager (a dynamic user) has to approve this form.
After the approval the form has to go to the inbox of a department where they can fill in additional information.
After filling in this information a feedback has to be sent to the user that filled in the form.
Problems:
- After doing the first tutorial i wanted to do some more turorials to learn more about guided procedures. All tutorials that I have found requires some beginning point like a Web Dynpro CO or something else. Are there more tutorials that guide you trough a process from scratch?
- The tutorials that I have found with Interactive forms are designed with the Adobe Designer, not with the NWDS designer. So if you want to add a CO Interactive form you can't use this one because you don't have a .XDP file.
- Is there a clear tutorial how to add a user dynamicly? For example in the tutorial "My first process" you have to add users while initiate the process. I also read the blog "Passing email address for Interactive Form step". But here the user still have to define to wich email address the form has to be sent. In my scenario the right email address is already in the Adobe form so I want to sent it to that email address.
- Does a user always has to go to Guided Procedures > Runtime in the portal or can you make your own menu items for starting a process, approve a process etc.
I know it are a lot of questions but I hope that you can help me out with at least some of them because it is really dazzeling right now.

The scenario you mentioned should be possible using GP. In response to your questions,
> The tutorials that I have found with Interactive forms are designed with the Adobe
> Designer, not with the NWDS designer. So if you want to add a CO Interactive form
> you can't use this one because you don't have a .XDP file.
Adobe LiveCycle designer comes packaged with NWDS. You can download it from service marketplace and run it standalone:

No, the runtime doesn't have to be used. Check out this thread for more details:

How to get app.processId from Guided Procedures? Please I need You help

Hi everyone, I need your help, I need to recover the processId once time the Procees was started in Guided Procedures
I found this link from maintenance process in Guided Porcedures administration
http://host:port/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/cafeugpui~rt/Runtime?app.processId=IDnumber
the parameter I need is IDnumber, I dont know if it is possible with web dynpros or with web services please I need you help
How Can I do this?
Thank you very much my friends
Regards from Mexico
Atte Israel

Hi,
I am not sure about the version. But you can follow the steps below.
1. Create a Web Dynpro Poroject (Ideally create a DC , but if you don't have NWDI setup a project will do).
2. Add reference to com.sap.security.api.jar and sap.comcafeugpapi.jar
3. Under WebDynpro References -> Library References add sap.com/cafeugp~api
4. Put following code in wdDoInit()
public void wdDoInit()
    //@@begin wdDoInit()
     IGPRuntimeManager rtm = GPProcessFactory.getRuntimeManager();
     IWDMessageManager msgMgr= wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
     try{
     IWDClientUser wdUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
     IUser user = wdUser.getSAPUser();
     IGPUserContext userContext = GPContextFactory.getContextManager().createUserContext(user);
     Date startDate = new Date(110,1,1); // Start date as 01-Jan-2010
     Date endDate= new Date(111,12,31); // End date as 31-Dec-2011
     IGPProcessInstanceInfo[] array = rtm.getRunningInstances(GPSearchRole.SEARCH_ROLE_OWNER, startDate, endDate, userContext);
     for (int i=0; i<array.length; i++){
     String instanceId = array<i>.getProcessInstanceID();
//        Write logic to pass the instance ID to the RFC
msgMgr.reportSuccess("Instance id =" + instanceId);
     catch(Exception ex)
     msgMgr.reportException(ex.getLocalizedMessage(),false);
    //@@end
Let me know if you face any issues.
Thanks

Guided Procedures, retrieving data from services

Hi,
I'm making a Guided Procedure that starts from an Adobe Form, goes to a Visual Composer component and then to a final Web Dynpro component.
VC will give two values, MATNR and KUNNR and use these two to retrieve information from the ERP to fill in the information for the Web Dynpro "Visual Approval" Callable Object.
I've got two Actions that go to our ERP to retrieve data, but it doesn't seem to do anything ...
In the block I've got the parameters set so that VC will give the two parameters. In result states, VC points to the Web Dynpro for the decision. If I let it point to a service the flow just stops ...
Now when I run, and click the button, my Web Dynpro won't be filled with information ... (which is the problem).
Cheers
Frederik-Jan

I tested both services and both return data. I've tried adding all the information as defaults, but still doesn't work. I think I'm missing something to connect the two actions that call the service. Are there extra settings I need to configure to make sure the fourth AC calls the former two (both are services).
I'm not calling them anywhere now ... Here's a screenshot to clarify:

Wf-XML with Guided Procedures to start other workflows e.g BusinessWorkflow

HI!
Is it possible with Guided Procedures to create a Wf-XML file and send it to an other Workflow engine, to start a process with the parameter defined in the XML file ? This would be required to start an webflow in R/3 Business Workflow. This Webflow accepts 3 different kinds of Wf-XML standards or SOAP. But i cannot find this in GP. Are there callable object that are able to create this XML files and sent it over HTTP or are there any work-around? Thanks a lot.

Dominik Vogelbacher

Hi,
I hope this link will use for SAP Workflows in defferent systems but nothing about connecting Workflow with GP.

Method execute from the Guided Procedure

Hi All:
I have a web dynpro application that has a view Evaluation and this one has a embed view from another component. I´m using guided procedures and setting in the execute method a parameter that is linked to the embed view.
The problem is that in the view Evaluation, when calls DoInit() I´m sending these parameter to the embed view but I´m not getting any value at that moment. These means that the execute method occurs after the DoInit().
Someone knows in what sequence the methods are call, execute and Doinit(). Where can I set the parameter for the embed view so the execute method had been already call and the parameter set before it call the DoInit method.?
Thanks, regards

Hi
I have two components component A with wiewA and component B with ViewB. The view B is embed in view A.
The view A has the call to the GP. I import the view B and I bind the interface from that componentB with the component Controller of the component A and this one to the view A.
and the view is linked to the Inerface Controller where is the execute method.
In the wdDoinit of the view A I´m setting the context values of the parameters I want to send to the view B. And in the wdDoInit of the view B, I´m calling a method that fills a table according to the parameter.
Thanks for the help

Default email subject for Adobe Form from Netweaver Guided Procedure

Hi everyone.
When we generate an Adobe form from a Netweaver Guided Procedure, a default subject of "Interactive Form {xxxxxxxx}" is used where xxxxxxxx is the Process ID of the Guided Procedure. Is this default subject configurable? Where can I change it?
If we define a custom email template for the form, the subject of the email becomes our custom subject concatenated with the Process ID. Where is it defined that the Process ID must be included in the email subject?
Thanks,
.. Craig

Hello,
I have no experience regarding the table of pictures, but you could try a workaround if you don´t insist of displaying the images. You could attach the pictures as attachments (you know, the little attachments icon on the left in your Reader). The ABAP coding for this can be found in SE38 FP_* and when you check the descriptions you should be able to find the one working with the attachments.
Would be better than nothing I guess,
