  • Workflow Upgrade 4.6C to ECC6 - manual settings during Cutover

    Hello Guys,
    We are upgrading to ECC 6 from 4.6C  and we are on release 701 & support pack SAPKB70106.
    I would like to know which are the "Manual activities" that needs to done during cutover and WHEN should these should be done (eg. before ECC6 upgade, or after ECC6 upgrade but before config/dev transports, or after config/dev transports).
    I have looked on few SDN threads and found the following info. Please correct me or add extra info if i have missed something:
    1. Configure RFC destination & WF user info in Transaction SWU3.
    2. Run Transaction SWU_OBUF to clear the runtime buffers before users start Testing.
    I assume rest of changes would be imported with transports, but i have read through lot of SDN threads that all custom Workflow definitions needs to be ACTIVATED in each system (DEV - QAS-  PRD)  and custom BOR objects needs be REGENERATED in each system (DEV - QAS-  PRD). Also, do I have manually set the agent assignement for Customer Task as GENERAL TASK in each system?  Are above stated 3 steps needs to be manually done in each system or transports take care of them ? I am bit confused. Could anybody please advise me regarding the Manual Task/activities that needs to done in each system during cutover during WF upgrade from 4.6 C to ECC6.
    Thanks for posting excellent stuff regarding the Workflow Upgrades on SDN. It really helped me in resolving most of my issues.
    Thanks in advance
    Kind Regards
    Sam

    Helli Viji,
    Thanks for the information. I still have some doubts.
    Yes , as you have mentioned there are many other mandatory settings in Transaction SWU3 that needs to be maintained in each system. I hope these settings are imported with the Customizing tranport request created in DEV or Do we have to maintain these manually just in case of Upgrade.
    For transporting the Agent assignment from one system to another, can we use Transaction RE_RHMOVE30 ? Or this functionality do not works when upgrading to ECC 6 from 4.6 C.
    Is there any other activity I am missing that needs to done during Cutover when upgrading from 4.6C to ECC 6 with regard to Workflows.
    Thanks
    Regards
    Sam.

  • In CUP create Initiator.... Workflow Type etc

    Hi there,
    In Create Initiator Workflow, Can anyone please let me know what is the difference between different types like ERM, CUP etc etc. We are implimenting RAR, CUP,RE and SPM. Is there any defalut settings there.
    What is the reason behind each, any document or sap help link will be apprecited please.
    Best Regards:
    Priya

    Priya,
    every workflow type selection will lead to different attributes being available.
    Have a look at this guide for examples - you can see how a risk change workflow has totally different attributes from a CUP workflow:

  • Reuse as existing smartform to display as PDF in workflow

    Hi gurus,
    The requirment is that, I need to display a PO as a PDF link under "objects and attachments". We already have a smart form in place for the PO. I need to display this as a PDF in the link.
    I know that a customized method can be added in defaults section of the business object. But to develop this functionality, I need inputs.
    Thanks.

  • Workflow giving error at execution

    Hi all,
    I am referring Ginger Gatling blog to create simple workflow

    i did basic configuration to set up number range (via SWU3) for workflow also i ensured each and every step is same as mention in blog also all objects are activated ,
    i am doing this activity in Development Server and my system is SAP ECC 5.0
    So i am not getting, where is the problem?

  • Webdynpro and workflow

    HI ,
    developed one webdynpro component it seems like claim form.
    When the employee save that entries in that form and submit it . it has to go to manager approval and he has to enter the some values like registration no etc.... How to send the webdynpro application in a mail to the manager. And there is one more issue. if the manager reject's that form it has to go to employee. Can you please guide in this issue? How to configure in portal to view the in ESS.
    *Thanks in Advance.*

    Hi Sapabap229,
    I think it would be the best if you can develop a model class which handle business logic including workflow handling and test it first. In web dynpro component, use this class as an assistant class and call to trigger workflow. By doing this you can test each parts of your code separately.
    For workflow handling you can use FM  as suggested or [ABAP class for workflow |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/e038cc2d-0cde-2a10-e28e-f50025578112]

  • Update main workflow container from In-Progress Subworkflow

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where I need to update a main workflow container element from a sub-workflow, while the sub-workflow is still running. (In-Progress)
    I have tried using the FM SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER in sub-workflow, but it returns an error saying "Cannot call WAPI interface 'SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER' in this context".
    I have also tried FM SWW_WI_CONTAINER_MODIFY, but it does not update at all.
    I have also tried triggering an even in sub-workflow, which in turn triggers a class method, but it gives an errors saying "WF locked"
    Please let me know if you have any other strategies.
    Thanks
    Krishna

    Hi,
    what I can suggest you is try to create a program exit in the subworkflow  and in the program exit you can access the main workflow F wotkitem ID, by using thie main workflow workitem ID try to create the instance of the container. and from there in the program exit class you can set and get the values of the workflow container elements.
    but here you have to make sure that you have to create the instance of the parent workitem ID  container, but  not the subworkflow workitem ID container.
