Steps To Integrate/ Comuunicate Workflow and MS Outlook?

I want to Make Integration between SAP Workflow and MS Outlook.
Can any one Please tell me how to do it?

Hello,
"Is it Possible to add our own code into workflow for sending this email?"
Sure. If it's a standard workflow then copy it first, then change and use the copy.
Please open a new thead for a new question. This one is already marked as answered.

Hi,
In order to integrate SRM system with portal system download two business packages for SRM BP for SRM and BP for Supplier Collaboration from SDN Content Portfolio:
(https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/contentportfolio) and then deploy these on EP 7.0 server with the help of software deployment manager onto the enterprise portal server. When download these business packages you get online documentation which explains detailed steps.
Hope it helps.

FM to read the different steps in workflow and the status at each step

Hi All,
Is there any FM in SAP which gives the detail roadmap of the steps taken in a workflow and the diffrent status or decision at each step.
I am looking for something like what you see when you click on the "STARTED WORKFLOW" in the business workplace outbox.
Which shows up the "steps in the process so far " and the decision and the agents for each of them.
Thanks,
Charan.

Hi,
You can get the status according to the task. please check with FM "SAP_WAPI_GET_WI_DELTA".

Workflow and Files Integration

Hello all,
I have sucessfully configured my files domain, run through the steps for integration with workflow and files. All seems to be ok except there are no review processes showing up within files.
I know in release 1 the demo workflows were loaded and tied into files.
Anyone know how to get these into the files screens so I can demo the workflow portion of files?
Thanks,
Dennis

Hello Archana !
         After user decision step, you have maintained the step that updates database as immediate step.
         Have you tested this step separately ? If it have yielded successful results, check the binding for the immediate step after user decision.
         Also, check the workflow log whether the containers for the step that updates the database are populated with required values.
         Is the method that updates the database is custom method ?

Hi Johny,
which Workflow are you planning to use, Netweaver BPM or WF from ERP? If you use the ERP Workflow, first of all you have to configure the connection to an Exchange Server via SAPconnect (transaction SCOT, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1b/b8e93a2876a81ae10000000a11402f/frameset.htm for details). Then you create a Workflow which sends a message to the responsible. The easiest way could be to include an URL which takes you to an approval page on your Enterprise Portal.

Workflow and MS Exchange Integration

Hi All!
This is very urgent!
Could anyone tell me if there is such a thing as integration between MS Exchange and SAP Business Workflow?
I know that there exists an integration between SAP Business Workflow and Lotus Notes/Outlook. Is it also possible for MS Exchange?
If this is possible, please tell me how to make this thing work.
If possible, please send me files or links for this.
This is my email ad: [email protected]
Thank you very much guys!
Please help me. (--,)
I will reward points for helpful answers.
Regards,
Reymar Ellazo

Hi Kjetil!
I was surprised when Aditya replied that the RSWUWFML2 report cannot be used for Lotus Notes email client. (--,)
Could you share notes or resource about Extended Notifications? We are using ECC6.
About the kind of integration, the supposed scenario is to have a two-way communication between SAP Business Workflow and Lotus Notes where a workitem recieved in the Lotus Notes can be executed and can perform the approval steps by just using the email link.
However, there is this chance that the client will only have a 1-way communication between SAP worlkflow and Lotus Notes where the sent message only contains the information of the workitem which would tell the recipient that there are workitems present in his/her inbox and needs to be executed through SAPinbox.
Regardless of the decision of the client, are these 2-way and 1-way communication scenario possible using Lotus Notes?
Thank you very much!
Best,
Reymar

Siebel & "BIP Report Generation" Workflow and Bookmark Syntax

IHAC that wants to schedule the generation of a BIP report to run every weeknight and include a list of activities for the next day. We've utilized an OOTB IO and can successfully render the report using Sample XML in MS Word. Additionally, since they are only on 8.1.1, they do not currently have access to the latest scheduling capabilities. Therefore, we're trying to implement a repeating component to call a workflow to generate the report using the 'BIP Report Generation' workflow and the associated objects (from support posting 823360.1).
Now to the questions:
One of the parameters for the workflow is a 'Bookmark'. This parameter does not appear to handle various 'Siebel' querying functions like 'Today()' as part of the criteria. Can someone confirm this statement?
Currently, I can imagine one high-level possible workarounds. This would entail a revised WF and that includes a prior step to generate the 'Bookmark' by retrieving a string representation of tomorrow's date and concatenating it with the rest of the criteria.
Next question:
Does anyone have any other possible alternatives? Maybe a calculated field in the BC/IC for 'Today() + 1' - but this could have performance implications.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Suggestions/comments?
Bump.

Workflow and General Use Questions

Hello,
I'll apologize right off the bat for these novice question because I'm sure the information is probably somewhere in the forum, I just haven't been able to find it. I just purchased Aperture after completing the demo as my library is getting too large to manage using standard file folders. I'm now trying to figure out the best practices for workflow and general use before I invest some serious time into importing and keywording all my pictures.
1) Store files in the there current location, or in the Aperture Library? It seems to me that once they are moved to the Aperture library, you can only access them from within Aperture. I'm thinking I would be better off leaving them in their current location. For one, if I want to quickly grab a picture as an attachment to an email or something it seems easier to grab it from the standard folders. Second (and more important) I do not have room to keep all my pictures on my Macbook, thus most of them are stored on the Time Capsule.
So... Keeping photos in their current location appears to be the best choice for me even though it adds an additional step every time I bring in new photos from my camera. Does this sound right?
2) Is there a way to mark the photos that I have uploaded to my website (Smugmug)? Ideally, I would like to badge photos that have already been uploaded so I can quickly recognize them and ensure I'm not duplicating. I've considered using the rating, or keywords to indicate that a photo has been uploaded but both methods have disadvantages.
3) Any suggestions for general workflow and organization resources (tutorials, books, websites, etc.)? I've looked at the videos on Apple's site but they obviously didn't get that detailed.
Thanks for the help, sorry for the length.

I recommend to Manage by Reference with Master image files stored on external hard drives (note that Aperture defaults to a Managed-Library configuration rather than a Referenced-Masters Library). Especially important for iMacs and laptops with a single internal drive. The workflow as described below in an earlier post of mine uses a Referenced-Masters Library.
I feel pretty strongly that card-to-Aperture or camera-to-Aperture handling of original images puts originals at unnecessary risk. I suggest this workflow, first using the Finder (not Aperture) to copy images from CF card to computer hard drive:
• Remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into a memory card reader. Faster readers and faster cards are preferable.
• Finder-copy images from memory card to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive.
• Eject memory card.
• Burn backup hard drive or DVD copies of the original images (optional strongly recommended recommended backup step).
• Eject backup hard drive(s) or DVDs.
• From within Aperture, import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location." This is called "referenced images." During import is the best time to also add keywords, but that is another discussion.
• Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing in Aperture).
• Reformat memory card in camera, and archive originals off site on hard drives and/or on DVDs.
Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media/backups.
Also note with a Referenced-Masters Library that use of the "Vault" backup routine backs up the Library only, not the Masters. Masters should be separately backed up, IMO a good thing from a workflow and data security standpoint.
Max out RAM in your MB and keep the internal drive less than 70% full.
Good luck!

Help with Mobileme, iCloud, iPad, iPhone and MS Outlook 2010

Hello,
WHAT I HAVE NOW
I'm in a bit of mess and don't want to proceed until I can get some answers. I have an iPad, iPhone and a PC (Windows 7). I have a mobileme account also. I also have iCloud Control Panel installed on my PC and recently bought MS Outlook 2010 to migrate from mobileme to iCloud and get this whole synching thing under control. Everything has been updated to the latest versions for iCloud.
I have an att.net email account (ran by Yahoo Pop3), live.com account, hotmail account, gmail account, mobileme account. I have contacts in my most of these email accounts but there are many duplicates and info needs to be updated. With iCloud and mobileme running, I have numerous calendars and can't get any of them synched.
WHAT I WANT
I would like to migrate from mobileme to iCloud and use the iCloud Control Panel and MS Outlook 2010 to synch my mail, contacts and calendars from my PC, iPhone 4s and iPad (version). I only want ONE calendar and ONE contact list. Can there be a MASTER contact list within Outlook 2010 instead of all of these contacts from various email accounts? If so, would I create a master contact list within Outlook 2010 and then go to the various web email programs and delete their contacts? How to I get these calendars under control with one Home calendar?
WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR
I started to migrate from mobileme to iCloud but stopped to install MS Outlook 2010 first. I installed MS Outlook 2010 and got all of my email accounts imported even having to manually move the att.net (Yahoo Pop3) messages because the folders and emails within would not transfer from Windows Live Email to Outlook. Currently having problems trying to get the contacts unduplicated and corrected but when I save a newly corrected contact, it disappears. Are these contacts synching as I insert them and then disappearing? Should I go offline to create correct this contact list? What will happen when I add iCloud to the mix? Will I have to go back and correct all duplicates again? Can someone provide the order of these steps to take the least amount of time?
I know this is a lot but it's fairly complicated to me and I also have another person in my house that has a PC, iPad and iPhone for whom I have to do the same thing. Trying to not waste time and do this the right way first. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I backed up everything and finally took the leap to migrate from mobileme to iCloud. With a few glitches all seems to be working except that iCloud did not grab the updated and current Contact list from MS Outlook 2010 and seems to have an outdated contact list with only half the number of contacts.
Can someone help me get iCloud to grab the correct contact list out of MS Outlook 2010 so that it can be distributed to my iPad and iPhone also? Thanks!

How to get the Asset's current step under a specific workflow process via API?

Everyone,
Is there a way to get the asset's current step for a specific workflow process by the WebCenter Sites API? We are showing out the asset created within the WebCenter Sites in another application via its API. We would like some actions get to be done once determined assets went into a specific step of a workflow process. Any suggestions are welcomed.
Regards!

Here is some information from the FDK Programmer's guide page 115:
IMPORTANT: A valid text range can span multiple paragraphs, subcolumns, or text frames.
It cant span multiple flows, footnotes, table cells, or text lines.
It is possible for a document to have no text selection or insertion point at all. This can occur in
the following circumstances:
● One or more graphic objects in the document are selected
● One or more entire table cells in the document are selected
● There is no selection of any type in the document
So, I did select one or more entire table cells in the document in my first test. It's logical that the result was not like expected.
But selecting one or more entire table cells is a crucial requirement for my plugin, is there anyway to get things straight?
Simply put, I want to enable users to select one or more table cells in the document, and I want to get the object handles of the first cell and the last cell through Framemaker API calls. How?
Many thanks in advance!

Ellen N. Zhao

Workflow and WD integration

Hi,
We are implementing Workflow and Webdynpro ABAP integration.Employee submits competences from portal, this triggers an approval task to the manager .Manager will approve the task from worklist and when he clicks on task, Web dynpro application opens up where he has to approve or reject accordingly.
We have approve and reject buttons in Web dynpro and we have used User Decision Step type in Workflow to open the Web dynpro application.User decision step decisions are mapped to Web Dynpro approve/reject actions.
So we are able to successfully launch the Web dynpro and perform the actions.But problem is the rest of Wrokflow after User Decision step is not getting executed. Workflow is getting stopped at this point.
We have tried using FM's SAPI_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE and SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE.
Both these FM.s complete the User Decision step but does not execute rest of Workflow.
Please help me if you have come across this scenario.

Hello Archana !
         After user decision step, you have maintained the step that updates database as immediate step.
         Have you tested this step separately ? If it have yielded successful results, check the binding for the immediate step after user decision.
         Also, check the workflow log whether the containers for the step that updates the database are populated with required values.
         Is the method that updates the database is custom method ?

Step type 'condition' in workflow

hai all.....
I have got a problem while working with the step type 'condition' in workflow,i.e i want to check the values in internal table in my step type for example,whether the internal table is initial....please someone help me ..its very urgent...

Hi Kiran,
For the Operator 'NX' u need not enter any comparison value. U click on the condition in the condition step type . A window appears and u click on the internal table in expression 1 and the operator as 'NX' . It doesnt need a comparison value.
Now u check this with the test data in the same window . U will have an icon in the bottom of window to enter test data and another icon to evalutate it . U check it with data and without data. It will work .
In ur reply to Kasi , Ur answer is not at all related with what kasi asked for .U can check the initial property while the data is in workflow container itself . Instead u r passing the data from workflow container to task container and then to method container and then the processing has to take place in BO and again the reverse should take place .Which is Unnecessary .

Scobby.

How to go back to previous step in a sub workflow?

We are calling a sub workflow upon approval action from a main workflow. In the child workflow we have 9 steps. If at any step in the child workflow (other than first) user does reject action, the workflow control should go back to previous step in the child workflow itself.
We added a custom action in the exit events of all the child workflow steps. Following is the logic of exit event of Step4 of child workflow. Similar logic is there for all steps in the child workflow.
<$if wfAction and wfAction like "REJECT"$>
 <$wfSet("wfJumpTargetStep", "Step3@childWF")$>
 <$wfSet("wfJumpEntryNotifyOff", "0")$>
<$endif$>
With this code when the user is doing reject action from child workflow, it is taking us back to the main workflow and not to the previous step of child workflow.
Is this approach correct?
-Pratap

1. The 3 events are Entry, Update, and Exit.
2. Rejects happen in the Update area but you can not reliably react to it there because upon reject it immediately leaves (not going through the exit event).
3. The rejected content goes backwards in the Workflow step by step (even going back to the main workflow from a sub workflow) until it finds a Step that has valid Editors (not just reviewers).
4. If it does not find an Editor step it goes all the way back to the automatic Contribution step at the beginning of the Workflow and sits there in a kind of no mans land until the contributor (or an admin) goes and approves it again.
5. To check if something has been rejected the Entry Event of an editor Step BEFORE the step where it is rejected needs to have code to check for the Reject status.
The sub workflow should be able to capture the Reject as you desire. Are all of the steps in the child workflow (sub workflow) Review only steps? Or maybe the people in the steps do not have RW access to the document? This is what I would predict with your described symptoms.

The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook

Hi
We have 2 separate Exchange 2013 organisations in Our Company. All mail comes in on the first server registered With domain1.com and if it is mail Connected to the second server it is forwarded to server 2 which is registered With domain2.com.
When the users Connected to server 2 sends out mail they have default mail address firstname.lastnameATdomain1.com so the default address policy points to an email address registered on server 1. We have added a GPO for the domain2 users so that
Autodiscovery updates with the right domain name.
The problem is that every time a user With Outlook 2013 starts Outlook he gets an error saying "The Exchange administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart outlook". This Message shows about every 10 minutes in Outlook. I think
this has to do With the autodiscover settings, but I'm not sure.
Any Idea how to remove this Message?
Regards
Anders

Hi,
From your description, I recommend you follow the steps below to repair the Exchange email account and check the result.
1. Start Outlook. Click File, Account Settings, and then click Account Settings.
2. With the Exchange email account selected, click Repair. In the Repair Account dialog box, click Next.
3. After the configuration finishes, restart Outlook.
After you restart Outlook, the status bar may show your status as Working Offline. To connect it, click the Send/Receive tab, and then click Work Offline to turn off this feature.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook. plus more!!!!

We just migrated our 2010 exchange running off a sbs to exchange 2013 running on server 2012 standard. The issues we are having is if you shutdown the old sbs server mail flow stops completly. The other issues is that clients using outlook 2013 get the
popup message "The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook." We have remade their profiles on the local computer, uninstsalled Office and reinstalled it... tried almost everything. The exchagne
server is on CU5 and no changes have been made in the last two months.

... if you shutdown the old sbs server mail flow stops completely.
If the inbound flow is affected, check the firewall (or antispam/andivirus device/server) configuration. Most probably, it is still forwarding the inbound email to the SBS.
In case the outbound email stops, check the Internet Send connectors. It's quite possible that you don't have an Internet Send connector with the Exchange 2013 specified as a source server. If this is not the case, check again the firewall - it might be
blocking outbound traffic on port 25 from the Exchange 2013 internal IP address.
... clients using outlook 2013 get the popup message "The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook."
Are the clients fully updated, or at least, running
