What to install for guided procedure?

Hi All
I don't know anything about guided procedure. I learned from CAF-GP: Configuration Guide of help.sap.com the I need to edit some parameters in Global Configuration> Server <ID> > Services > caf/eu/gp/model.
I could not find the service caf/eu/gp/model. Do I need to install something?
I am using WEBAS 6.4 SP 15.
Please help
Thanks

Hi Raktim,
You need to be in a NW04s environment to use Guided Procedures. They are not available before NW04s.
This means you need a EP 7.0 Portal and (preferably for production) also a WebAs 7.0 backend.

Mail settings for Guided Procedures

Hi,
I'm having problems having GP send mails.
The settings in the GP Administration are correct. I can send test mails to myself without problems, and did the setup that is described here: [Re: Guided Procedures - set mail smtp host]
Also, I'm sure that my user has an e-Mailaddress and the like, I've set it up properly on R3. Also, when trying to send a mail to a static address (just give it as a value) it still generates problems.
Now when I go to the log, I get these errors, which are odd, considering mail.sap.org is NOT the SMTP server I set up!!
Unknown SMTP host: mail.sap.corp
javax.mail.MessagingException: Unknown SMTP host: mail.sap.corp;
nested exception is:
java.net.UnknownHostException: mail.sap.corp
The question is fairly simple: Where does it say that the SMTP server is that? It's certainly not in Administration > Administer BMF > Clients as it's set correctly there!
Help would be, as always, greatly appreciated!

Hi,
So, to start the Config Tool, double click the configtool script file from <SAP_install_dir>/<system_name>/<instance_name>/j2ee/configtool directory.
When you open it, navigate to cluster-data -> template <name of template> -> instance <name of instance> -> services -> caf/eu/gp/model.
The template represents the usage type installed on your server (for example, EP). It consists of one or more instances that can be configured in a different way.
Next, modify the required system parameters (in your case smtp.server and smtp.service_user_mail) :
a. On the Service properties screen, select a parameter from the table.
b. In the Custom value field, enter a value for the parameter.
c. Choose Set.
The new value appears in the Value column.
In the Template value field, you can see the default value (if any) for the parameter you have selected. You can restore the default template value for any parameter by choosing Restore to Template.
So here is the documentation regarding the Config tool as a whole:

Naming Conventions for Guided Procedures

Hi Experts,
Is there any naming conventions followed in Guided Procedures, please send it if yes.
Thanks & Regards,
Runal

Hi Runal,
Basically, you can check all defined terminoly in the SAPterm Web Access database with a display user.
For starters, you can also go through the GP "Concepts" section in the documentation - it gives quite a good idea of the terms used and helps it easier to understand what term stands for what in GP
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/c7/984942da51690de10000000a155106/content.htm

Use of Aris models for Guided Procedures or VC possible

Hi,
I know that Aris can export BPEL for importing to XI.
What are the capabilities of using Aris for NetWeaver to model for more UI-oriented processes. Is it possible to use ARIS models for GP or Visual Composer?
Thanks.
Dick

Hi David,
The answer to your 1st question is NO. Till NW 7.1, there is no clue on this.
To your 2nd question, there is no noticable enhancement on the GP side in NW 7.1. You can refer to the Developers Guide -> Developing and Composing Applications -> Designing Composite Processes with Guided Procedures section in <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/44/D958673EF05F4DE10000000A11466F/frameset.htm">SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment Library</a> for further reference.
Hope this helps.
Finally I fully agree with you regarding XI and GP.

Nilay

Configure End Point for Guided Procedures

Hello experts,
I am creating a Guided Procedure that needs to retrieve data from the Backend system (ECC 6.0). The portal is installed as a JAVA plugin on the same machine (7.0).
When I choose Connection Defined by System Landscape Directory (SLD), the SLD Connection Name is asked for. Where can I find this property?
The SLD is not setup on the portal but is centralized on the SAP Solution Manager machine.

Hi Eduard,
Do you have an SLD configured? If not you need to do this in Visual Administrator first.
But you can also specify an endpoint without an SLD, you can select Connection Defined by User, and enter the details of the backend system, which I assume you know.
For more info look at: <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/aa/4a52421477b330e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">Configuring Endpoint Aliases</a>.
If you need to know how to setup SLD go to: <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ea/cd2e807e0e45bf9da67354f452fc05/frameset.htm">Setting Up the SLD Data Supplier for J2EE-Based Systems</a>.
Hope this helps!

What to install for a "secure" computer

Hi,
I was recently reading something online that made me quite paranoid...I always have used FF with adblockplus, but that's about it. So I went ahead and installed noscript, and privoxy + tor. What else can I install to ensure a super secure machine? Which firewall is recommended?

In all seriousness, Fedora is probably a good bet for a secure distro because it's package manager has package signing (Arch does not yet), meaning it would be harder for someone to "trick" your computer into installing a malicious package. Obviously, there are still plenty of people using Arch, so this is not a huge threat. Fedora also has SELinux installed and configured by default, I think. SELinux gives each app a more finely tuned set of permissions. Theoretically, I could run App A and it could change the setting for App B just because it has access to my whole home directory. SELinux fixes that and much more advanced stuff.
If you are only afraid of the scary internet corporations (Google, Your ISP, Your Government), like I am, you can also look into installing Ghostery Firefox extension or setting NoScript to block "Web Bugs" (it's in the advanced tab, I believe).
Also make sure that all cookies are deleted when Firefox closes.
Also make sure to block "flash cookies." Do a search for LSO's or install BetterPrivacy Firefox extension.
Use Ixquick or Scroogle for your web searches instead of Google.
Software firewalls are redundant if you are behind a router, so that shouldn't help you sleep at night.

I need Your Help for CAF/EU/GP/API Guided Procedures

Hi everyone, I need your help about Guided procedures CAF API, I am developing an WEB DYNPRO Callable Object for Guided Procedures, but I need to get the task name of the running proceess on Guided Procedure once time a user initiated it, if is possible? Do you have an examples?
Thenk you very much

Hi,
Yes you can retrieve the task name of the running process. Here is what you need to do.
1. Get the process instance - IGPRuntimeManager - > getInstance()
2. Get the IGPActivityInstance(s) from the process instance - processInstance.getChildrenInformation().
3. Optionaly check if these child activities are Blocks or Actions. If Block drill further to get the Actions using getChildrenInformation().
4. Retreive the IGPActionInstance(s) from the Block Activities.
5. Get the IGPActivity object for these Actions using IGPActionInstance.getTemplate() method.
6. This object will have a method getTitle() which will retrive you the activity name.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Guided Procedures roles

Hello all,
We are currently using ERP 2005 and SAP EP 7.0 and I have the Life and work events working in the system. I am also aware of where they are configured and how you can add/delete any section in the process.
What i would like to know is:
When i click on a 'My First Days' Process link, it asks me to define an administrator and an overseer. I was wondering if there is a way i can bring the end user directly to the screen where he/she starts entering the details instead of being asked to specify an administrator/overseer.
In other words, i want to get rid of the step where the user is asked to specify who the administrator is.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Bhushan.

Integration process communicating with guided procedure

Hi everybody,
I read that it is possible to exchange messages between Integration Processes and SAP Business Workflow. Is it also possible to trigger and communicate to a guided procedure in a Integration process?
Thanks,
Mane

Integration processes can integrate with anything which uses one of the protocols supported by XI adapters (and you could even enhance this, by creating your own custom adapters).
E.g., to integrate with SAP Workflow, you could call a standard BAPI or a Z RFC that executes the desired workflow (or feed some step of a already in-process workflow).
For Guided Procedures, you could basically use anything that the UI frameworks within SAP portfolio support. For example, if you develop a WebDynpro-based GP, you could make the WebDynpro consume a Web Service that, for instance, triggers a BPM execution (you expose the 1st receiver step of the BPM, which should be a open sync/async bridge, as a web service through a sender soap adapter).
That's just one example.

Henrique.

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
Regards
Marco

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.
