Task based UI (Guided Procedure) in SAP CRM 7.0

I am trying to build a Task Based UI in SAP CRM 7.0. I followed the steps which SAP mentions but unfortunately i can't get it work.I am a functional consultant and so its quite possible that might have missed something critical
This is the sequence of steps i followed
Step 1 - Create new BSP component
2 - Created 3 custom views
3 - Created a "Guided Maintenance Page"
4 - According to SAP documentation/material - when i open the view/page created in step 3 i would be able to see the views i created in Step 2 and i can choose the views ( and the sequence) i want to use in the guided procedure.
But unfortunately in Step 3 - i don't see any of the views i created in "Step 2" .
So just wondering what i have missed and why the guided procedure is not working.
thanks in advance!
Cheers

Hi Ruby,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
In your reply you have mentioned that - "As far as I know , if you use the guided  maintainence  procedure , at the top you can see the number of custom views added in the component , in your case you will be able to see them as 1, 2 and 3"
The issue I am encountering is that  I don't see the (any) custom view in my guided procedure.
I don't see any of the the custom views 1,2 or 3 listed in the top half of the page. All i see is a table with no entries in it.
So i am wondering if i have missed out any important step in guided procedure( task based UI) creation process.
thanks in advance!
Cheers

  • Guided procedures & WebDynpro (SAP-EU software component)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to develop a Webdynpro component that is going to be used in Guided Procedure (CAF) in 2004s SPS08.
    This snippet is in the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/de/8976417f2d5558e10000000a1550b0/content.htm">tutorial</a>:
    The software component SAP-EU must be imported in your development configuration. In particular, you need the following development components (DCs):
    - caf/eu/gp/api
    - caf/eu/gp/api/wd
    In addition, you need the following DC from the software component SAP-JEE_1:
    - com.sap.security.api.sda
    I do know how to use DC's but where do I get this component SAP-EU from ? I could not find these caf/eu/gp/api etc. components in anywhere in the DC's I have on the local development.

  • Getting Action Task Id of Guided Procedure Process

    Hi,
        The scenario is i have three actions with web dynpro GP Interface Callable Object in GP Process.This GP Process is initiated from web dynpro application.Once i initiate the process the first action start and display the action in the uwl.Once i click the uwl link and process it and complete the action it will start the second action.Its working fine.Here i want the second action Task Id in the first action web dynpro component.But iam only getting the previous action Task Id.Any solution to getting the Task Id by using the GP API.Provide me any solution to solve this scenario.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi Sathesh,
    I did not really understand the following line by you:
    Here i want the second action Task Id in the first action web dynpro component.But iam only getting the previous action Task Id.
    Why do you want the second action task id in the first action? Isn't the first action completed it's execution? And why do you need the task id at all? Please explain your requirement a little more clearly.
    To your question:
    Any solution to getting the Task Id by using the GP API.
    In the execute() method of the Interface controller of your web dynpro application, you can use the following code to get the current task id.
    this.executionContext = executionContext;
    String currentTaskId = executionContext.getTaskId();
    But I am still not sure how this code is going to help you. Kindly elaborate so that I can provide any more help.

  • Guided Procedure Tasks don´t appear in "completed tasks"

    Hello! I´ve integrated guided procedures into the UWL. It works fine, except that once i complete a task depending on guided procedures, i click in "completed tasks" and it is empty.
    I´ve noticed that the only kind of tasks that appear in "completed tasks" are the ones which are related to Collaboration.
    Is there a way i can show the completed tasks related to Guided Procedures or R/3 ?
    Thanks in advance!.

  • Guided Procedures in ESS/MSS

    Could somebody let me know what exactly is the use of Guided Procedures in ESS/MSS packages.
    Points will be awarded for brief answers.

    Hi Lina,
    Guided procedures are basically for enabling access to multiple backend systems, consistently combining different types of services and applications into processes.
    CAF Guided Procedures (CAF GP) is a framework for modeling and managing workflows using simple and user-friendly tools.
    Also, GP supports collaboration, ad-hoc items, and offline task management using interactive forms. It provides role-based access to tools and resources and guidance through the workflows at runtime, thereby helping end users to easily identify and complete their tasks.
    The following links will help you

  • Cannot Open An Instantiate Application in Guided Procedures

    Hi,
    I an new to Guided Procedures and SAP NW CE. I have created a composite application following a tutorial example from the SAP Press book "The Developers Guide to the SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment" which is based on a project management process.
    After I am finished with the modeling of process in GP (Callable Objects, Roles, Parameter consolidation), I tried to run the application by generating the Instantiate URL and subsequently opening it with the "Open Instanitiate Application" button in the "Instantiate" tabstrip. Unfortunately nothing has happened, and there was not even a single error message.
    So I would like to know how can I diagnose this problem in GP? Where can I find the log trace?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Joon Meng

    Hi,
    In GP you can also run your application using "Start Process" on GP home (I don't remember exact word for menu). To monitor process goto Netweaver Administrator (http://<yourhost>:<port>/nwa) and goto Availability and Performance Management->Process Monitoring
    Here you can see option for GP monitoring. Goto Process instance and look for your process (Hint: provide correct initiator and check all type of status).
    Here you can also see steps and error details if any.

  • Error when testing a Guided Procedure that use a Visual Composer UI

    Hello!
    Trying to develop my first Guided Procedure in SAP NW CE 7.1 SR3.
    I follow instructions that I earlier have used with CE 7.1 SP1 (in TechEd07), assuming no major changes from SP1 to SR3...
    I have defined a Callable Object that is based on a Visual Composer UI.
    The Visual Composer UI itself works fine when I test it in Visual Composer but when I try to test the Callable Object I get the following error message:
    "Could not load execution container: Did not find active instance for component com.sap.caf.eu.gp.ui.co.wd4vc.exec.COExecWD4VC in running application."
    When I click on the error message I get a lot of details of the underlying Java exception:
    "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot find view element with ID 9NEfbfuapOdP8O4KnmM19Q in application com.sap.caf.eu.gp.dt.workset.AppWorkset with namespace null"
    (skipped all details...)
    Have I missed some step (development or configuration) that is new in CE 7.1 SR3 compared to CE 7.1 SP1?
    I have tried to read through the available on-line help but can't find anything that seems to differ...
    Are there any examples/tutorials available for CE 7.1 SP3?
    Thanks for your help,
    Magnus.

    Hello Dipankar!
    Thanks for trying to help me out!
    I'm unfortunately having problem with finding the choice "Add Guided Procedure Information" in the options menu in VC.
    I have looked in the menu "Tools --> Options" but failed to find this choice.
    Is this choice maybe changed in SAP NW CE 7.1 SR3?
    Regarding running the VC component as a stand-alone application I can launch the component from VC after deployment and it works fine both as HTML and Flex (I really like the Flex - version :-)!
    But if you mean something else with running it stand alone please direct me to some doc-url so I can learn how to do that!
    Best Regards,
    Magnus.

  • 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

  • Configuring Guided Procedures with the Universal Worklist

    hi experts,
    Pls give me the steps to Configure Guided Procedures with the Universal Worklist....
    I have the help file with me but it doesn't work ... and my configuration is NWDS 7.0 sp9.
    pls help me
    with regards,
    sriram

    Hi,
    You can configure your system so that the tasks generated in Guided Procedures (GP) workflows, both on local and remote systems, are displayed in the Universal Worklist (UWL) together with the tasks pertaining to other SAP NetWeaver Portal work areas.
    You perform the configuration steps on the consumer side:
           1.      Create a portal system, specifying the host name, HTTP port of the GP tasks provider and, if available, the WSDL of the relevant service.
           2.      Register the system as the item provider for UWL and configure it for remote access.
    You establish the connection between GP and the UWL by assigning a system alias.
           3.      In UWL, browse all pending GP tasks assigned to your user.
    You can only view tasks assigned to your user, that is, the logon ID of the user on both systems must match.
    Prerequisites:-
    a)  You have been assigned the System Admin portal role to be able to create portal systems and aliases. For more information, see Administration Roles.
    b) You have been assigned the Standard User role to be able to access UWL in the portal. For more information, see Default Portal Content for Standard Users.
    c) You know the host name of the system from which you want to retrieve GP tasks
    Step by Step Procedure guide can be found out at
    [Step by Step Procedure for COnfiguring GP with UWL|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/ef06a7860c7061e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm]

  • Clarification about SAP CRM 5.0, SAPPHONE

    Hi Buddies,
    Long time no see.
    Curently we are considering integrating SAP with our telephony system  AVAYA. According to our vendor, there are 2 approaches: SAPPHONE or ICI connectors.
    It is clear that ICI connector will be based on latest version of SAP CRM 7.0 which we do not install at the moment, thus we are more probally to use the SAPPHONE connection acting as interaction center middle ware.
    However, it is somehow confusing about SAPPHONE approach. It is said to be neccesary to apply CRM 5.0 as system enviroment.
    As I know, CRM 5.0, not like CRM 5.1 and later web application versions, is a component inside R3 system.
    Is it neccessary to install CRM 5.0 first before activating the TCI via SAPPHONE?
    Is CRM a middleware between SAPPHONE and telephony system or SAPPHONE itself is a component of CRM 5.0?
    Is SAP CRM a mandatory component of ECC 6.0? In fact, I do not find it in 'Component version' inside our system.
    Is SAPPHONE quite out-of-date and with limited support?
    Do we need install new hardware for SAPPHONE?
    Sorry for asking so many questions at the same time. We really need to clarify all misunderstandings before evaluating the approaches.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Jonnie

    Hi Anrei,
    Thanks, I read through the help document besides trying find other documents in help.sap.com.
    I guess I got it. SAPphone is a component inside CRM server as indicated by below help document:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm40/helpdata/en/28/797b14a9cf4296b02742f641c18971/content.htm
    The CRM Server includes the IC WinClient framework and the following SAP applications:
    ·        SAPphone
    SAPphone provides a telephony function to the interaction center. It allows data to be exchanged between the CRM Server and the telephony component.
    ·        SAPconnect
    SAPconnect provides an integrated e-mail function to the interaction center. It enables communication management software to connect to the SAP system (for example, an e-mail server or SMTP server).
    Although it is a help document for CRM 4.0, I think CRM 5.0 should have the similar archtechture.
    I would score you as helpful, however, I still would like to see whether I could get answers for below points:
    Is SAP CRM a mandatory component of ECC 6.0? In fact, I do not find it in 'Component version' inside our system.
    Is SAPPHONE quite out-of-date and with limited support?
    Do we need install new hardware for SAPPHONE?
    Thanks.

  • Guided procedures performance

    I'm evaluating the performance of Guided procedures, in SAP Netweaver version 7.05 SP1. It runs over a machine with Intel Xeon @ 2.13 Ghz, 3.37 GB RAM, 2046 MB swap size, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, Service Pack 1, JRE version 1.5.0_11. The maximum JVM heap size is 1024 MB, using a parallel young garbage collection policy (-XX:+UseParNewGC), I'm using the parameter -XX
    :+HandlePromotionFailure in order to work around the bug 6226790 related to the UseParNewGC garbage collection option (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6226790).
    The test target is a "dummy" process, with one sequential block and three actions. The load is generated with JMeter, the test script creates a process instance, issuing a HTTP request to the corresponding URL. The load test consists in a increasing load of 1 to 20 concurrent virtual users, with a ramp-up time of 20 minutes (one new user every minute). The virtual users start process instances until the test is stopped (there is no defined iteration number), with a think time of 10 seconds.
    Till a load of 10 concurrent users the behavior is normal: constant response time about 500 ms and increasing throughput (considering the throughput as process instances started per second), until that moment about 300 process instances are created. However, as the test continues, the response time suddenly increases, the throughput falls and eventually the netweaver instance gets stuck. What is curious is that, although the netweaver instance is stuck, the utilization of the processor is low (less than 10%), as well as the memory (the heap just grows till 610 MB, its limit is 1024 MB). There are no sign of exhaustion of other resources, according to the corresponding performance counters (disk read and write queues, network utilization, context switches per second).
    The GP runtime is using the local workflow engine, the test has been repeated with 2, 4 and 8 threads in the workflow engine. In all the cases the above described results were almost the same.
    Does anybody know why the netweaver instance gets stuck under such conditions, and is there a way to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance

  • Filtering My Open Task in SAP CRM based on Status, Transaction & Partner Function

    Hello
    Whenever i create a Task in SAP CRM, it displays that transaction in the My Open Task of all Business Partners involved in that Transaction.
    I want to restrict the My Open Tasks based on Transaction Type, Status and Partner Function.
    1) The system should work as it is for all other Tasks but for my Custom Transaction Type the logic should be based on status of the Transaction
    2) When My Open Task component is prepared the system should consider the Status and Partner Function as well i.e. if the status is Approval of Manager, the system should show the Open Task only to the Manager and not other parties.
    3) if the status of the Transaction is Open, the system should only display this Transaction / Task only to Employee Responsible and not to Manager and other people involved in their My Open Tasks.
    I have gone through the following post in SCN:
    https://scn.sap.com/thread/2056959
    I have implemented the method DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT as per the post but it does not do anything. When i redefine the method GET_QUERY_RESULT and remove everything,it does not prepare any list.
    If possible please specify which method needs to be redefined in the component/view CRMCMP_GS_WC/TodaysTasks & if possible please share the code that needs to be maintained in that method.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Method DO_INIT_CONTEXT should be redefined
    This should be redifined to get the collections with your required filter criteria.
    * get the collection of entities for the tasks
       lr_col      = get_query_result( gc_status-open ).
    If this does not help, Delete the collections which are not required after above selection but before this code.
       me->typed_context->resultnew->collection_wrapper->set_collection( lr_col ).

  • SAP Workflow vs. Guided Procedures

    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.
