Workflow and WD integration

Hi,
We are implementing Workflow and Webdynpro ABAP integration.Employee submits competences from portal, this triggers an approval task to the manager .Manager will approve the task from worklist and when he clicks on task, Web dynpro application opens up where he has to approve or reject accordingly.
We have approve and reject buttons in Web dynpro and we have used User Decision Step type in Workflow to open the Web dynpro application.User decision step decisions are mapped to Web Dynpro approve/reject actions.
So we are able to successfully launch the Web dynpro and perform the actions.But problem is the rest of Wrokflow after User Decision step is not getting executed. Workflow is getting stopped at this point.
We have tried using FM's SAPI_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE and SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE.
Both these FM.s complete the User Decision step but does not execute rest of Workflow.
Please help me if you have come across this scenario.

Hello Archana !
         After user decision step, you have maintained the step that updates database as immediate step.
         Have you tested this step separately ? If it have yielded successful results, check the binding for the immediate step after user decision.
         Also, check the workflow log whether the containers for the step that updates the database are populated with required values.
         Is the method that updates the database is custom method ?

Workflow and Files Integration

Hello all,
I have sucessfully configured my files domain, run through the steps for integration with workflow and files. All seems to be ok except there are no review processes showing up within files.
I know in release 1 the demo workflows were loaded and tied into files.
Anyone know how to get these into the files screens so I can demo the workflow portion of files?
Thanks,
Dennis

Workflow and POWL integration for Travel Request / Approval

HI,
We are on EHP7 and using POWL for different kind of Approvals.
POWL is working good for Leave Approval and we have used Workflow Task ID as : TS12300097 / TS12300116, and all leave request appearing in POWL for manager and approving them.
Now we have to use POWL for Travel Request / Travel Expense approval and need to know what Task IDs I should use to configure this under SPRO.
Few tabs / links created like Travel Req Approval / Expense Approval / Claim Approval in POWL and need to show entries in respective tabs.
Thanks

HI
Is it required to run FPB_MAINTAIN_PERS_S / FPB_MAINTAIN_PERS_M to display Travel entries in POWL screen.
2) Is it required to keep entries under "Assign Task IDs to POWL Types" in SPRO ???
ex : MANAGER_MSS_INBOX MSS_POWL_LEA_APPROVAL TS12300097
I don;t see any difference in terms of functionality even If i delete above entry, may i know the necessity of having those entries ?
Thanks

SAP Business Workflow and Webservice Integration

I have scenario in which I need to Integrate SAP Workflow with a Inhouse UI Application through Webservice.
Design:
I want to use the Workflow for Task management. However whenever user has to perform a event I want to push the work item into another inhouse application which has capability to invoke/receive webservice. The inhouse application should only perform user events and publish the message back to workflow. Work Item management will be done in SAP Workflow. I need to send the data container to and from SAP Workflow.
Is there any problem in the above design?
How can I achieve the same in SAP Workflow?
Can any one share the experience?

I would like to know as well about this, did you get an answer?
Thanks for any pointers.

Workflow and MS Exchange Integration

Hi All!
This is very urgent!
Could anyone tell me if there is such a thing as integration between MS Exchange and SAP Business Workflow?
I know that there exists an integration between SAP Business Workflow and Lotus Notes/Outlook. Is it also possible for MS Exchange?
If this is possible, please tell me how to make this thing work.
If possible, please send me files or links for this.
This is my email ad: [email protected]
Thank you very much guys!
Please help me. (--,)
I will reward points for helpful answers.

Reymar Ellazo

Hi Kjetil!
I was surprised when Aditya replied that the RSWUWFML2 report cannot be used for Lotus Notes email client. (--,)
Could you share notes or resource about Extended Notifications? We are using ECC6.
About the kind of integration, the supposed scenario is to have a two-way communication between SAP Business Workflow and Lotus Notes where a workitem recieved in the Lotus Notes can be executed and can perform the approval steps by just using the email link.
However, there is this chance that the client will only have a 1-way communication between SAP worlkflow and Lotus Notes where the sent message only contains the information of the workitem which would tell the recipient that there are workitems present in his/her inbox and needs to be executed through SAPinbox.
Regardless of the decision of the client, are these 2-way and 1-way communication scenario possible using Lotus Notes?
Thank you very much!
Best,
Reymar

Difference between Workflow and Integration Process

Hi Experts,
Can someone please explain, what is the difference between the workflow and integration process(BPM).
Thanks
Sree

Hi Sree,
Integration Processes are :-
--Message based
--Interface focused
--Cross component
--Have no support for human interaction
--Enabled with SAP XI
Workflows are:-
--Object based
--Human focused
--Intra-application
--Have no support for mapping, routing or message transformations
--Enabled with the SAP Web AS
However, most automated business processes involve a combination of the two.
I hope this clear your doubt.

Integration of SAP Business Workflow and Webdynpro

Hello colleague,
Could you pls. provide any pointers in configuring the following scenario:
There is a SAP workflow configured in R/3. When one of the steps of the workflow is executed I have to trigger a Web Dynpro (for ABAP) screen.
Say its an approval workflow and when the manager clicks on the workitem in the inbox a webdynpro screen will pop up indicating the requisite information. The manager can approve or reject the based on information on the screen. The user action will be taken and the workflow will proceed based on that.
Any pointers in this will be of great help.

CRM Workflow and ERP Workflow integration

Hi,
I need to get workflow to work across several modules. One example is that I have some actions that needs to be completed in CRM, and when that has finished I need to trigger a workflow in ERP to continue the processing. How can I send information from the CRM workflow to the ERP workflow, and status message back to CRM? I have been looking at Wf-XML options, but that seems to be across http communication only.. these systems can be on the same server. Can anyone give me some tips on how this can be done? Help is greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Thomas

Hello,
My suggestion is to trigger the events with a RFC of a Function module.
Program the Function module in the ERP system and enable it as RCF function. In this module program the trigger for the prefered object.
In the CRM workflow call a background method of the corresponding object which triggers the Function Module in the ERP system.
Another solution could be that the action which was taken in CRM leads to a replication in the ERP which already triggers a standard event.
Hopefully above guides you to a solution.
Kind regards,
Peter

Tapeless workflows and Sandy Bridge or other PC's: KISS or LOVE?

Tapeless workflows and Sandy Bridge or other PC's: KISS or LOVE?
Life used to be so simple when shooting video on a tape based camera. You shot your material, captured it for editing and stored your precious original footage on tape in a safe and dry place. Sure, it took time to capture, but the big advantage was that if you had a computer or drive failure, you would still have the original tape so everything could be recreated.
Now with tapeless workflows we have the significant advantage of much faster import of the original footage. Connect the flash card or disk drive to the computer over USB and copy the data to a HDD on the computer, ready for editing. The data on the flash card or disk drive can then be erased, so you can reuse it for more shots. But, like Johan Cruyff has said repeatedly, every advantage has its drawback. In this case it simply means that you no longer have the original material to fall back on, in case of computer or drive failures. That is a very unpleasant and insecure feeling.
The easy anwser to that problem is backups. Backup of the original media, backup of projects and backup of exports. This often means a bundle of externals for backup or NAS configurations. One thing is clear, it requires discipline to make regular backups and it costs time, as well as a number of disks. Four as a minimum: 1 for media, 1 for exports and at least 2 for projects. Note: This is excluding a backup drive for OS & programs.
There are different backup strategies in use. Some say backup daily and use one disk for monday, one for tuesday, and so on. Others say one disk for the first backup, the second for the second backup, then the first again for an incremental backup, etc. and once weekly a complete backup on a third disk. Whatever you choose, be aware that shelf live of a disk is far less than tape. There are horror stories everywhere about ball-bearings getting stuck after some time and without original tapes, you better be safe than sorry, so don't skimp on backups.
What is the relevancy of all this? I thought this was about Sandy Bridge and other PC's.
It is and let me try to explain.
Card based cameras are for the most part DSLR and AVCHD type cameras, and we all know how much muscle is required to edit that in a convenient way. Adobe suggests in the system requirements to use raid configurations for HD editing and practice has shown that raid arrays do give a significant performance boost and improve responsiveness, making for a nicer editing experience. The larger the project and the longer the time-line, the more a raid array will help maintain the responsiveness.
One thing you would not do is using a raid0 for projects, media and exports, even if you have backups. The simple reason is that the chance of disk failure multiplies by the number of disks in the raid0. Two disks double the chance of disk failure, three disks triple the chance, four disks quadruples the chance, etc.
Remember: Disaster always strikes when it is most inconvenient.
Imagine you have been working all day on a project, you decide to call it a day and to make your daily backup, but then the raid fails, before you made your backup. Gone is all of today's work. Then take into consideration the time and effort it takes to restore your backups to the state it was in yesterday. That does not make you happy.
Another thing to avoid is using a software or mobo based parity raid, for the simple reason that it is slooowww and puts a burden on the CPU, that you want to use for editing, not house keeping.
For temporary or easily recreated files, like the page-file, media cache, media cache database and preview files, it is very much advised to use a raid0. It makes everything a lot snappier and if disaster strikes, so what? These are easily recreated in a short time.
This was a general overview of what is required with tapeless workflows. Now let's get down to what this means in terms of system design.
Two approaches or train of thoughts
KISS: Keep it stupidly simple or LOVE: Laughing over video editing
The first one, the most economic one, is to use a system with 3 or 4 disks internally and 4 or more backup disks.
A typical disk setup can look like this:
This is a perfectly sensible approach if one does not have large or complex projects, long time-lines and is willing to take the risk of occasionally losing a whole days work, between backups. Many hobbyists and consumers fall in this category.
The KISS approach keeps it stupidly simple. The drawback is that there is no logical way to add more disks or storage. The discipline, diligence and effort required for regular backups make it far from a laughing matter. In fact it can quickly become a bore. Add to that the fact that the disk setup is simple but not very fast, so less suited for situations where lots of clips are involved, multi-cam is a regularly recurring situation or lots of video tracks are involved.
A number of video editors want more from their system than the occasional platonic KISS, they want to really LOVE their system, which lead to the other train of thought.
This is more costly than the KISS approach, but you all know a fiancée or wife is more costly and dear than the occasional kiss on the cheek by an old friend.
Let's start with a typical disk setup. It may look like this:
Two striking differences in comparison to the KISS approach:
1. Much easier disk organization and more disks and thus more space.
2. It requires a hardware raid controller, causing a higher investment cost. It is like an engagement ring. You don't get LOVE for free, one of the guiding principles of the oldest trade in the world.
These are easy statements to make, but what are the benefits or advantages, that you would fall in LOVE with such a system, and what are the drawbacks? Think back to Johan Cruyff's adage.
The only drawback is cost. The advantages are multiple, easier organization, more speed, more storage, snappier editing, no jerkiness, lesser requirements for regular backups and - this is the major benefit - hardly a chance of losing a day's work in case of a drive failure. Keep in mind that a parity raid keeps all your data intact in case of a drive failure, so lessens the need for up-to-date backups.
We all know, we get what we pay for: "If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. OTOH, if you pay money to monkeys, you get rich monkeys". But in this case you get what you pay for, a much better editing experience with a much easier workflow.
Using a parity raid (be it raid 3/5/6/30/50/60) you get security, ease of mind that you are protected against losing precious media, that you need not worry about the last time you made a backup, that the editing you did today may be lost and you save valuable time editing and a lot of aggravation because of a much more responsive system.
How does this all relate to Sandy Bridge and other PC's?
First of all, the price difference between a Sandy Bridge / P67 platform and an i7-950+ / X58 platform is very small. Of course the new architecture is slightly more expensive than the older one, but the differences are small, almost not worth talking about.
So what are the differences? Look below:
The first thing to keep in mind is that the Sandy Bridge is the successor of the i7-8xx CPU and as such it is much more evolutionary than revolutionary. The CPU power has increased significantly over the i7-8xx due to new architecture and a smaller production process (32 nm), but in essence all the capabilities have remained unchanged. Same memory, same PCI-e lanes, same version, same L3 cache and no support for dedicated raid controllers.
It is great that the processor performs much better than the older i7-8xx CPU's, almost achieving the level of the i7-9xx range of processors, but is still limited:
The Sandy Bridge is unsuitable for anything more than a KISS system.
Why? Because it lacks the required PCI-e lanes to accomodate more than a 16 x PCI-e nVidia card with CUDA support to enable hardware MPE acceleration and the integrated graphics are not supported by CS5.
You may wonder if that is a bad thing. The plain and simple anser is NO. It is a great processor, it delivers great value for money, is a solid performer, but it has its limitations. Intel had a reason to position this CPU as a mid-level CPU, because that is what it is, a mid-level performer in comparison to what is to come.
The term mid-level performer may seem strange when compared to the old generation of i7-9xx CPU's, because they perform almost equally well, but keep in mind that there is a generation difference between them.
So what about the i7-9xx and X58 platform?
It still is going strong. About the same performance as a Sandy Bridge, with only the much more expensive hexa-cores clearly in the lead, both performance and price wise. The quad cores deliver about the same value for money. The main difference however is the platform that allows a dedicated raid controller to be installed, thus making it the platform of choice for those who want to go from a passing KISS to true LOVE.
And what lies ahead?
Sandy Bridge E on the Waimea platform (X68). Now that is revolutionary. More than double almost everything a processor can offer: double the cores, double the PCI-e lanes, triple the memory, more than double the L3 cache, increase the PCI-e support from 2.0 to 3.0, etc...
This is why Intel calls this a high-end CPU / platform.
So what now?
If you prefer a KISS approach, choose either a Sandy Bridge/P67 or an i7-950+/X58 platform.
If you wonder whether in the future you may need multi-cam more frequently, edit more complex projects and longer timelines or even progress to RED, look at KISS/LOVE solutions, meaning the i7-950+/X58.
If you can't have downtime, time pressure is high, delivery dates to clients are critical or you edit highly complex projects, lots of multi-cam situations or lengthy time-lines, choose a LOVE solution, an i7-950+/X58 platform.
If you have the time to wait till Q4/2011, Sandy Bridge E/Waimea looks to be worth the wait.
Hope this gives you some more insight into recent and future developments and helps you make wise investment decisions.

I'm upgrading from an AMD 3800+, cutting with Vegas 7 Pro. Usually shoot DSLR or HDV, sometimes P2, EX or RED. I have ridiculously cheap access to Macs, FCP/FCS, all kinds of software.
I've been agonizing over this for the last month, was originally hoping the UD7 mobo was the solution, read the read about the NF200/PCIe issue a few days ago, http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/non-linear-editing-pc/489424-i7-980x-now-wait-sandybridge-2.ht ml- and still decided to go for a 2600k.
My preference is to treat my video footage the same way as my digital imagery: I make (at least) duplicate back ups of everything before reformatting the cards, never delete the back ups, and only worry about the day-to-day stuff at night. Unless I'm rendering or involved in other long processes, in which case I'll back up the work in process the next day. If I am under a really really tight deadline I might back up as I go.
Yes, a RAID might make it easier, but I'm paranoid enough to prefer a slower, safer backup. You can always duplicate, and usually improve upon, a days work, but you can never get back original footage you lost. I have only ever had one hard drive die on me (a few enclosures crapped out, though)- it took a couple of (mostly unattended) hours to rectify. As a matter of act, I've had far more loss/damage from tapes than from hard drives.
I ordered the UD7, 2 F4s and 4 F3Rs, understanding I will probably want to upgrade to SBE when it comes out, or maybe next year. The 2600k/mobo/RAM will likely hold its value better than a 950/X58, likely because of the marketplace as much as merit.
The UD7 / RAID card issue is in it's early days, there may be a solution/mitigation. Probably not. But if I really really need a RAID card, then I probably really really need a 980, NAS, etc etc.
But Harm still rocks!

Export and Import Integration Profile - Demantra

Hi All,
I am working on demantra workflow in export and import integration profiles through workflow.
I want to avoid a customization to integrate the export profile data created from series A and import the data into other import profile created from series B.
I have done the following:
1. Create an export integration profile from series A and when launch the workflow found the below:
1. view_name BIEO_view_name and table_name BIIO_table_name got created in transfer_query table.
when i did
select * from BIIO_view_name got records and when i did select * from BIIO_table_name, no data found.
2. I want to populate data into the BIIO_table_name created from export profile. Is there any standard process to populate the data into the biio_table_name from bieo_view_name without writing the custom pl/sql.
I need this data to populate into a import profile which got created through series B.
I want to avoid the customization of wriring a custom pl/sql and want to know is there any seeded process of integrating the export profile from series A to import profile from Series B.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Before to import your BS, did you import the Technical System?
Before to import your Technical System, did you import the SWCV ?
Before to import your SWCV, did you import the Product?
if no, you have to respect a sequence for the import: from highest to lowest level
if answer is yes. then In your BS defined in Dev, do you have a transport Group which says "BS_dev -> BS_Qua"?
If yes, both BS have to be defined in Qua SLD, else your transport link... has no link.
Moreover, when you import something, normally you have a detailed error message which explain you what is missing.
>> Question: How many business system should i maintain in SLD?
no limit I think.
>> Question: Should i do any config at the Transport Group?
Only if you want that your BS_dev becomes automatically a BS_Qua after the transport.... so for me, it's yes

MDM workflows and UWL

Hello,
We have recently upgraded ourselves to MDM 5.5 SP4 Patch pack 4. This patch pack was intended to solve an earlier problem we faced when integrating Universal Worklist (UWL) with MDM.
Earlier the UWL would return error in case the MDM workflows had worklfow jobs which the user had to not "Accepted". If the user "Accepts" it using MDM Data Manager, then the record would appear on the UWL.
I wish to know how we can configure the "Accept" button on the UWL, so that the user sees all the "Available" workflows and can "Accept" the workflow job which he plans to work upon.
Thanks in advance,
PKS.

Hi Yogita,
Here is a document for you.l It shows how to configure MDM & BPM. From within this there is information in regards to the Universal Worklist:

OWB, Oracle WorkFlow, and OEM

I am a DBA who has been charged with the task of integrating Oracle Warehouse Builder, Oracle Workflow and OEM. Our source database is 9i but our Intelligence Team would like to use 10G. Does anyone know how I might install this? Should I install 10G, then create a database for OWB and Oracle Workflow? Any direction would be helpful.

Hi,
Have you found an answer? If not read on.
We are also having the same combination.
1. Identify a target server (datawarehouse server).
2. Install 10G database on it (create a seed database with DWH option).
3. Install OWB
4. Install workflow server.
Then , make OWB setups :
1. Install a design repository, through which the team can carry out ETL in the OWB client.
2. Install a runtime repository which creates 2 users - a runtime repository owner and a runtime access user('connect as') user when deploying the ETL mappings.
3. Install a target schema using the runtime where the target objects - tables, dimensions and cubes will be created.
Then, in OWB, the team have to configure the source modules as 9i and the target modules as 10g.
Hope this helps.

Usha
