Triggering Guided Procedure Process in portal Automatically.(urgent)

Hi Experts,
I need to trigger the GP process automatically without going into the runtime work center of GP. Is it possible? If so, then please guide. Its urgent.
My requirement is:
One application to fill the details of two persons on whose UWL the task has to be sent. In that form I need a button to start the GP process automatically. Let the third person fills the deatils for First and Second. Then The requesting form will be sent to the UWL of the first person. After he/ she submits it the task for approval will be sent to the UWL of the second person. Then again the second person ahs to approve it and sent the result to the first person. But in this whole process I do not want to enter in to the runtime work certer of the GP. Whether its possible? If so then please guide.
Regards
Nutan

Hi,
Open your process, select your block and click on parameters tab.
Uncheck the option Exposed in Input.
Best regards

I Have a Guided Procedure Process...now what?

Obviously I'm a newbie with GP's. I created a real simple Guided Procedure Process which I can execute in the GP runtime. So how do I create and iView or a Portal page with it so I can assign it to a Portal role?

Roles are handled as following ways
                  Role
Action A --    R
Action B ---   R
defined the role to be user defined, runtime defined or initator. So if you are doing the user defined you will be prompted to assign user which are the portal users.

Where are stored attachments in guided procedures process??

Any one knows?

Hi Julio,
The history of the process is not lost after the process is finished. You can see the process instances at NWA->Availability and Performance Management->Process Monitoring->Guided Procedures->Process Instances Tab.
Here you can Search the Process running/completed/terminated/erroneous/archived Instances based on Initiator/Administrator/Owner/Overrseer userid forlast week/last month/last year/At any Time etc. In the result that you get after search, you can see all the data for each process task. You can see Input Context,Output Context, Processor,Attachment etc.
Also on the main page for this screen, there are few other tabs which can give you other information about the Process/Process templated and other GP objects.

Archive guided procedure process and maintain history attributes

Hi All,
We have the need for a workflow through portal with several approval steps.
We want to use guided procedures but cannot find whether it answers to our following requirements:
- When a process is completed, we want to be able to see some detailed data of each activity.
          -ID of the object created after approval    (which we display in the last step of the procedure).
          -Comments from the requestor               (upon which the approver decided to approve).
          -Date and time of approval
This so we can track back from the object id why it has been created and who approved it. (also when the process is already archived, we would still like to see this).
-Does anyone know if there are limitations to the archiving process?
-The exact approver of the process is important to retain as well. In the archive monitor I now only see Initiator, Owner, Overseeer and Adminstrator kept in history. But we need to know who did our approval (which is not amongst these roles).
Thanks for your help
Jurjen

Hello,
Even we have similar kindda requirement. I don't know how well is the standard archive monitor will suit this need. As you have said there might be some vital information that may not be possible to be archived in the standard Archive for GP.
So I'm planning to build my own Ztable in SAP R/3 for the archival of all the processing details, agents involved,date and time etc so that this table can be updated as and when the particular step in the GP has been completed.
This way, I guess i can decide what all details to be archieved and hence code accordingly. Also, this doesn't have any limitation as its a Transparent table in R/3.
Hope you can do something similar to this.
Cheers,

Guided Procedure SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 vs. Guided Procedure Portal 7.1

Hello experts,
I have a general question regarding Guided Procedures implemented in different Portal-Versions.
What is the the main advantage of GP's implemented in 7.1 Portal?
What are the main improvements????
Thanks a lot!
Regards
Marco

Hi,
Those are the enhancements for CE 7.1 SP03 version.
CE 7.1 SP06 is the latest one. But SP04, SP05 and SP06 provide only corrections to the SP03.
You can get this info [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/46/65695eec515de4e10000000a1553f6/content.htm].

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,
SatheshKumar R

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.
Bye

Problem with a transport Guided Procedures process - INVALID_LANGUAGE

Good day. I have a process created in GP. It contains many objects where Original Language is not English. Also the folders, where the process lays, have the Original Language - not English.
When we try to create a request we get an error: Cannot export transport request;
com.sap.caf.eu.gp.base.exception.EngineException: Function module
EUP_TSP_EXPORT produced ABAP exception at SAP system: INVALID_LANGUAGE
How we can fix it?
Also we tried to create a dummy folder with the Original Language - English and there weren't any troubles. So the problem in the Original Language... If we only could to change it for the existing objects, but the field is disabled. May be there is some workaround to change a language for the existing objects?

Hi Kirill,
As a workaround you can export this process in .sda file and than deploy it on the backend system.

Yordan

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

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.

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

Life work events and Guided Procedure

Hi,
We have installed ESS business package on EP7 portal and connected to ECC 6.0. We want to configure Life and Work Events (LWE). When a user clicks on Life and Work Events Tab > First Day, Marriage, Benefit for that matter any link on that page, It takes users to Folder selection page of guided procedure to select the process.
The question is that is it suppose take a user to respective guided procedure as First Day or etc. rather than asking user to select the guided procedure process from folder.
Thanks,
Guest user
Edited by: on Mar 21, 2008 12:40 AM

If default configuration takes to actual process that make us feel we are missing something in configuration.
Lakshmi, Do you have any clue as what is missing to be configured since it is taking us to folder selection page?
Thanks for your help,

Identify Guided Procedures Task ID dynamically

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me if there is a way to idynamically dentify the id of the task (not the process) that is asigned to the user in Guided Procedures process?
Say for ex: I have two parallel tasks assigned to one user. Action1 and Action2. For each action a email is sent to the user with a link (like below) to the task so he/she can directly launch the task from email.
To view this task href="http://`{write(ctxt.DataSource.Host);}`/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.caf.eu.gp.folders.gp/com.sap.caf.eu.gp.roles.runtime/com.sap.caf.eu.gp.worksets.runtime/com.sap.caf.eu.gp.pages.procinstance&DynamicParameter=processId%3D`{write(sy.processid);}`%26taskId%3D">Click here
With the above link, the user is only getting the url to the process but not directly to the task. i.e., when the user clicks on the email link of Action2, the browser opens up with the Action1 selected by default. He will then have to manually click on Action2 to complete that task. I want the user be able to directly go to Action2.
Please advice.
Regards,
Kumar.

Guided Procedures - set mail smtp host

Hi,
I want to set the smtp host to use email notifications in a Guided Procedures process. So I go in the portal to:
Guided Procedures -> Administration -> GP Configuration Tool -> Interactive Forms -> SMTP Server
When I click on the Save button I get

Hi Kevin,
I didn't get which release of CE you are using, so I am giving you the procedure for SP3. You set the smtp through the Mail Sending tab page. Here's the procedure:
1. Go to Guided procedure ->
Administration-> Administer BMF->Clients
->select iForms Processor -> press Settings button
-> Mail Sending tab.
2. Set your smtp server in SMTP Server field.
3. Press Save button.
You can test mail sending by pressing Test button
but first you should
configure the mail of the administrator of BMF and
the mail of the administrator of the client
(iForms Processor). Please follow instruction below
BMF Administrator's mail:
1.Go to Guided procedure ->
Administration-> Administer BMF->Settings.
2.Input the mail in Administrator Mail files.
3.Press Save button.
iForms client Administrator's mail:
1. Go to Guided procedure ->
Administration-> Administer BMF->Clients
->select iForms Processor
2. Press Edit button.
3. Input the mail in Administrator Mail files.
4. Press Save button.
Hope this works out
Greets,
Petra
