Trigger an ABAP webdynpro from a R/3 workflow?

Can we trigger a webdynpro (for ABAP) component from a step in a R/3 workflow?
Regards,
Gajendra.

Hi Raja,
I split the thread as you suggested.
Yes - this subject would make an interesting blog and I hope to get round to it soon if no-one beats me to it - that's a dare :-).
We offered this at the US Teched (BEM250) and it was very popular with good feedback. We're repeating it in Japan, Amsterdam and Bangalore.
I'm not realy sure what is meant by R/3 workflow. Workflow has always been part of the basis and since SAP NetWeaver it has been part of that. It's not a 'product' (the name SAP Business Workflow is a bit misleading in this respect) so there's no separate licensing involved. ABAP Web Dynpro came in SAP NetWeaver 2004s, which is after the R/3 era.
So Gajendra is asking about either
1. workflow and WebDynpro executing in a NetWeaver 2004s system in tandem with an R/3 (say Release 4.6C) or
2. workflow embedded in R/3 4.6C calling a NetWeaver 2004s Web Dynpro or
3. workflow and Web Dynpro in a Business Suite application which is build on NetWeaver 2004s (i.e. ERP 2005).
Phew...
Anyway composition 1 is best done using XI. Composition 2 and 3 are both recommended but 3 is the easiest.
The simplest solution:
a) Use the Universal Worklist (UWL) as the inbox.
b) Use table SWFVISU to generate a configuration for the UWL for an ABAP Web Dynpro application (described by Sandy).
c) The Web Dynpro application must expect a parameter called WI_ID. This is the work item ID and is the 'handle' to the process. Within the Web Dynpro you can use this handle to view the process/task context (workitem container) and even modify it. You can also use this to signal that the work item is completed. All of this is done using the SAP_WAPI function modules. (the answer to Raja's question).
I wrote an article which you can access online called 'New Workflow Paradigm ...' in SAP Insider (<a href="http://www.SAPinsideronline.com">www.SAPinsider.com</a>.)

How to trigger Outbound ABAP proxy from PI

Hi Guru's,
We have one scenario in which we want interface to be run at 5 minute interval in PI but it has to get data from R/3 via RFC or ABAP Proxy (No file interface). Is there any way to trigger PI interface to get data from R/3 and after mapping send it via AS2.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Gyaneshwar,
What Phani said is correct. Better you go with ABAP proxy, where you can validate the data with the condition, if fails you can raise an alert mail.
The code something looks like:
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_UTL_SENDMAIL'
        EXPORTING
          i_email       = gv_sender
          i_toemail     = ''
          i_subject     = gv_subject
        IMPORTING
          e_return_code = gv_subrc
        TABLES
          it_text       = git_text
          it_emails     = git_emails.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
There is no option to do it from PI.
Thanks,

Login pop-up when launching Webdynpro ABAP application from SAP Inbox

Hello All,
We have configured our workflow to trigger WD ABAP application from SAP Inbox.
However when we launch the workitem from SAP Inbox, we are getting a login pop-up screen in IE which prompts us to enter SAP password.
Can you please help how can we avoid getting that login screen and how the WD ABAP application can single sign on from SAP GUI to IE for that user-id.
Appreciate all your help.
Regards,
Samta.

Hi Samta,
You can configure User(RFC) and password for your webdynpro appl'n using SICF tcode.
Path : /default_host/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/(your wdp appln)

How to Trigger a Workflow from ABAP Webdynpro

Hi All Gurus,
I have the following urgent requirement, my client is implementing HR and there is a requirement, where is a ABAP Webdynpro component in which we have integrated a Adobe Interactive Form. When the user calls this from through Portal and fills out the relevant data and submits it, a Workflow in the backend ECC system should lauch,
I am not familiar with, this concept although I have worked in Workflow this is the first time I am interfacind with ABAP Webdynpro and Adobe Interactive From.
Can you please let me know in steps what needs to be done to make the workflow trigger for my scenario and also the specific settings to be done in the bacckend.
Regards,
Pratima Jain

Hi,
If you are using HCM Processes and Forms, the Workflow and form are not directly related, thats true.
But the method in the task calls the corresponding webdynpro application which responds to the action triggered by the user in turn to trigger the workflow and update the data in the HR Master Data.
There are 3 layers 1. UI (webdynpro which launches Adobe Interactive form based on ISR Framework)
2. Workflow
3. Backend framework (used for retrieving F4 helps, default values, save data in the infotypes).
for more documentation, please refer it on help.sap.com.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/82/b6b94278560c31e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
hope this helps.

Trigger workflow from ABAP webdynpro and attach an Adobe interactive form

I have a need to create an ABAP Webdynpro that will upload a completed Adobe interactive form and then route the form to multiple approvers thru workflow. I am having trouble finding any documentation or examples of passing the Adobe form in the workflow. Do I have to save the content of every field on the form to an internal table and then have every workitem call an ABAP webdynpro to render the form? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Joyce,

Hi,
You can call the iView directly by using NavigationTarget..
http://myServer:50000/irj/portal?
NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/myFolder/myRole/myIview
Plz note that the iView you are calling should be part of a Role.
And the PCD location of the iView in the Role must be given for Navigation Target.

SOFM: Dsiplay method is not working when called from ABAP Webdynpro

Hi All,
I want to open an attachment from ABAP Webdynpro.
I have approached in this fashion:
1) Get the attachments as SOFM object key
2) On Click of a link on Webdynpro, I am calling a function module within which I am creating an instance of the SOFM object
3) Then I am calling the DISPLAY method
It is not opening.
But, if it opens when I driectly execute the function module. It open when I directly test the business object.
Any Idea ?
Thanks & Regards,
Deb

Display Method uses the Dialogue Module, You should not access such methods in web dynpro which are SAPGUI specific.
Web Dynpro Applications are run in Browser environment which cannot understand Dialog, it can understand only HTML.
Read the attachments and get the content and use FileDownload UI element to show it to user.

How to call a RFC of a remote system from an ABAP webdynpro component

Dear Experts,
I am a newbie in ABAP Webdynpro.
I am working on a requirement where I have a webdynpro component on ECC system.I need to call a RFC located on CRM system from my webdynpro component on the ECC system.
How do I do that ?? Please help.
Regards,
Mamai.

Calling RFC from some other system is same as local except the difference is that you have to give destination name while calling.
And the regarding the method of calling it depends on your FM.
if it is big RFC with complex structure, you can create the service call for it with destination given as RFC desitination.
if it is simple straight forward RFC you can directly call it.
for creating RFC service call call use this method
1. Starting the Wizard
To start the wizard, position the cursor on the Web Dynpro component to be edited in the object list at the left margin of the
workbench window. Open its context menu and choose the entry Create->Service Call. The wizard is started and leads you
through the creation process.
Press Continue.
2. Choice of Controller
On the second dialog window of the wizard, you can choose whether the service call is to be embedded in an existing
controller or whether a new controller is to be created for this purpose. Service calls can only always be embedded in
global controllers u2013 that is, in the component controller or in additionally created custom controllers. It is not possible, to
embed service calls in view controllers.
a. Select radio button Use Existent Controller
b. Do not change the default entry for component: <CC name>
c. Enter for controller COMPONENTCONTROLLER
d. Press Continue.
3. Service Type and Service Selection
a. You now select, which service type should be used for this service call. Select radio button Function Module. Fill the
destination here. Press Continue.
b. Select the service: for Function Module enter <RFC name>. Press Continue.
4. The Required Methods and Context Elements
On the two subsequent dialog windows, default values are listed for giving names to the context nodes and attributes
required by the service call as well as to the required methods. The proposed names are based on the names of the
embedded service, but you can change them as required. However, heed the respective notes in the corresponding dialog
box.
a. Adapt Context: Select from Nodes/Attributes . Press Continue.
b. Specify Method Name: leave all entries as provided: Component: Controller: COMPONENTCONTROLLER Method: EXCUTE_ Press Continue.
5. Completing the Choice
When you have confirmed the last dialog box, the generation is triggered. Afterwards you now have the required methods
and contexts at your disposal for using them within your Web Dynpro component.
or if you want to call directly the use the call statement with destination

PR05 Transaction Iview from Abap Webdynpro

Hi,
From abap webdynpro, on action of one button, i'm calling PR05(Travel Expense Manager) screen by passing the parameters as follows and calling NAVIGATION_ABSOLUTE method:
BUS_PARAMETER-KEY = 'PTP00-PERNR'.
BUS_PARAMETER-VALUE = LS_EMPLOYEE_NODE-PERNR.
Insert BUS_PARAMETER into table BUS_PARAMETER_LIST.
CLEAR BUS_PARAMETER.
BUS_PARAMETER-KEY = 'PTP1000-REINR'.
BUS_PARAMETER-VALUE = LS_HEADER_NODE-REINR.
Insert BUS_PARAMETER into table BUS_PARAMETER_LIST.
It opens PR05 screen, with the correct employee list, but it does not populate the tripnumber and also it should skip the first screen.
In the IView, i have already given OKCODE='MOD' for change of the trip and also PROCESS_FIRST_SCREEN=YES.
In the business parameter i try to add for selecting the particular line in the table control of the PR05 screen, but that doesn't work.
BUS_PARAMETER-KEY = 'PTP1000-MARKER(01)'.
BUS_PARAMETER-VALUE = 'X'.
Insert BUS_PARAMETER into table BUS_PARAMETER_LIST.
CLEAR BUS_PARAMETER.
BUS_PARAMETER-KEY = 'TRIPCHANGEINTERACTIV'.
BUS_PARAMETER-VALUE = 'X'.
Insert BUS_PARAMETER into table BUS_PARAMETER_LIST.
So any inputs on how to auto select the line based on the trip number and go directly to particular change trip.

Hi Alex,
is there no possibility to open the transaction by calling a link? For example like this way:
host, port, system, mandant, user, password, tcode (e.g.: 192.168.100.2:6000:xi?mand=300&user=xyz&passwd=xxx&tcode=se16).
Do anybody other know if there is a possibility doing like this?
Greetings, Alexander

Hi,
The FM might be calling a dialog or bringing a GUI screen up. This would cause the Webdynpro session to disconnect abruptly.
Any conversion exit, GUI screen,dialog popup, transaction handling..etc would cause the webdynpro to disconnect. So you cannot use all FM's as it is.

Calling an ABAP WebDynpro Popup from a BSP view

I need to know if the following is possible.
I have a requirement to call an ABAP WebDynpro Popup from a BSP view.
When the Popup is triggered (eg via pushbutton) the BSP will pass data to the Popup, before the Popup is closed the Popup will pass data back to the BSP to be displayed in the BSP view.
I do not want to rely on Portal Events as Portals may not be used, would really appreciate a clean simple solution.

Hi,
any webdynpro application has a URL behind it. Haven´t you tried to call that URL with Javascript code ??
script language="Javascript"
url = "test_page.htm" + "?field=" + param;
window.open(url, "F4window", "width=400, height=400");
/script
You can pass data to the WD application using parameters as I show you after the "?".
