Workflow to UWL to ABAP WebDynpro ( Binding not happening)

Hi All,
I have created Workflow which need to be executed from UWL.
The workitem in UWL will call a ABAP Web Dynpro application for approval Process.
I have registered the my Task in SWFVISU and Maintained the necessary settings (Even Re-registered the new task in UWL ).
When I click the workitem in UWL it successfully calls the ABAP webDynpro application.
But the Parameter WORKITEM id is not transfered from workflow to Web Dynpro Application.
I have created a parameter WORKITEMID in the Workflow and populating it at runtime. But the same is not being passed to WebDynpro Import Parameter.
I see that WORKITEMID is initial at runtime while debugging in WebDynpro Application.
Can you please help me to bind the WORKITEMID from Workflow to WeBsynpro or from UWL to WebDynpro??
Thanks
Praveen

Hi,
You have bind the work item id to the task?
You have added the work item id parameter in SWFVISU?
Can you show us the UWL XML code for your task?

Configuration of UWL with Abap webdynpro

Hi,
We are doing configuration of UWL with Abap webdynpro. Our purpose to launch Abap webdynpro application , once clicked to a worlitem in UWL iView. we are unable to do due to following errors.
We have done in this way.
1.Created ECC system in EP
2.register the uwl.webflow
3.create ABAP iview(for test purpose still getting error when preview) (N/A)
4.clear cache
4.import xml file
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS91000006.UWLECCCLNT530" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="urliview" defaultAction="viewDetail" executionMode="pessimistic">

        </Action>
      </Actions>
    </ItemType>
5.Getting error,when I click task to perform dynpro abap screen.
6.WI_ID not been received.
Plz let me know the solution.
Thanks,

Hello,
I think you have to import the xml-file before clearing the cache again. Your new xml-file needs a higher priority then the default view.
You have just defined a new ItemType in your new xml-file. I am not sure, but I think that you will have to define in this file also a new view for this ItemType. Because otherwise it is not defined how this new ItemType should be shown.

Problem in retriving workitem id from uwl in abap webdynpro

Hello,
Curently, I've a problem similar with this post : Problem in retriving workitem id from uwl in abap webdynpro

So ... how is it possible ?
And the next question, how can I get the full url so I can parse it myself ?

ABAP webdynpro app not redirecting using Outbound plug in portal

Scenario-
There is one Abap webdynpro application APP1 calling another abap webdynpro component Comp 2 through outbound plug on a button click. This is working fine if service is tested independantly.
SAP ECC system is having a webispatcher and the application should be accessed using webdipatcher only i.e. ECC should not be called directly.
SSL has been configured b/w ECC and webdipatcher.
The Abap webdynpro application APP1 is integrated into portal using Abap webdynpro iview.
Setting in Portal system are reffering to Webdipatcher for ECC system instead of ECC system directly.
Issue-
App1 is loading successfully into portal and all the data is coming properly but when trying to navigate to second component on button click it is not navigating. iview is getting refreshed but not redirecting to required component and is still on the same application.
Please suggest the reasons and solutions if anyone has clue about it.

Deepak

ABAP webdynpro CO not showing input parameters

Folks,
I know this is strange. But might be that I'm missing something in the ABAP webdynpro creation/configuration.
Here it is./.
I have created an ABAP webdynpro application in SE80 with the context declared in COMPONENTCONTROLLER and a view with the context mapped to the COMPONENTCONTROLLER's context.
The webdynpro application per se is working fine.
When i created a CO in GP with type ABAP WD Application, and choose this application, all is fine until i reach the Define input screen. Here, i dont see any of those inout fields that are present in my WD COMPONENTCONTROLLER context. Should i do something to make it visible here?
Cheers,
Mandrake

Good question. I'm surprised why this question never came up till now.
I had a requirement where I had to use WD for ABAP in GP. I did a lot of research on this and found out with the following inferences.
Pros
1) It is easier to build and use when compared to WD for JAVA
2) No deploying needed
3) ABAP coding can be done in this so as to utilize the power of SAP to the fullest.
4) No Java knowledge is required
5) Can embedd any Adobe forms to make it interactive Adobe in GP
Cons
1) It can only import values from GP context and cannot export parameters like any other CO.
2) Not very flexible as WD Java
3) Comes up with an additional submit button on the GP Process which can supercede all the other checking and data validation functionalities that are built in the other webdynpro buttons in the Actual ABAP WD.
4) The context visibility is one way from GP and not to GP.
Steps:
1) Create the WDA in SE80 and test it.
2) Create a CO of type WD for ABAP
3) Map the parameters with the process context parameters
4) Test the CO and Process
Hope this clarifies your doubts.
Cheers,
Mandrake!

SAP SRM Workflow Options: Winshuttle or ABAP WebDynpro

We are implementing SRM. Our considerations for SAP Workflow are Winshuttle with an MS Sharepoint Site,or,ABAP WebDynpro. Does anyone have any experiences or suggestions that they could share that could help us to make a desicion. Or, another method that is cost efficient and easily supportable?
Thank-You.

Hi Tom,
Workflow component is in built in SRM. You donu2019t need any external component for it.
There are 2 types of workflow supported by SAP SRM.
1. Application Controlled Workflow
2. Process Controlled Workflow (BRF)
You can use BRF if you are implementing SRM 5.0 & above.
I think you should explore more on SRM workflows; it will certainly give you insight on workflow implementation.

Automatic cache for ABAP Cache( SXI_CACHE not happening)

Hi All
I have installed the PI 7.0, configuation went well, have developed the sample ineterfacess and these interfacess are working fine...
The problem i am facing is the ABAP runtime cache is not getting updated automatically, after say10 min of each interface run, when i check SXI_CACHE it shows error (unable to perform Cache, Integreation_directory_HMI error) when i run the delta cache it works and the interfaces works fine....
i have done the following things to check for solution.
1. Made sure all the Namespacess in the IR are consistent.
2. INTEGREATION_DIRECTORY_HIM rfc dest is working fine..
i have checked no time out option uder special option...
3. all the servicess releated to the cache under SICF are perfect.
when i run the cache it works fine, but it is not supporting automatic refresh..
Kindly let me know the report name which will take care of running the cache in background...
Any suggestions.
regards
Nisar Khan
Edited by: Nisar Khan on Feb 12, 2008 1:37 PM

Prateek,
The user for this RFC dest HMI is PIISUSER, and this user has the role of the IS_Service_User and IS_Service_User_main this roles has the authorization of S_rfc_adm....
To make sure this is causing the problem when i get the error again i will check the authorization to run the RFC dest: HMI and let you know.....
i think since i am using the user PIISUSER i should not have this problem but i will confirm it in sometime now..
there is some program whihc can be scheduld to do this refresh from ABAP side right?
any other inputs?

Java Portal Event not received correctly by ABAP Webdynpro

We have a page that contains 2 iviews.
iView 1 contains the MSS Employee Search that raises portal event:
Namespace: "urn:com.sap.mss.employeesearch"
Name: "selection_changed"
The second iview contains an ABAP Webdynpro program that subscribes to the Portal event.
The issue is that the event in the ABAP webdynpro is not being triggered. It does get triggered if we first fire the event from the Java program, unsubscribe the event in the ABAP program them subscribe to the event in the ABAP program. The event gets triggered at this time and the parameter can be retrieved.
If the event is fired a second time, nothing happens in the ABAP program.
The abap program works fine when another abap program triggers the same portal event.
Also, the portal event is being picked up correctly by other SAP delivered JAVA programs. I just cannot get a custom ABAP Webdynpro program to work...
Any ideas, comments?
Glenn

Hi Glenn,
Are you using https? Is your j2ee stack and abap stack in the same domain? In the past I have found that https can cause issues in the event communication between different applications.

Dion

Pass pernr from employee search iView to abap webDynpro in Related Activity

Hi All,
I have seen many threads explaining how to pass pernr from employee search iView to custom ABAP webDynpro application in the "Employee profile" page. Also seen sap note 1112733.
I am trying to launch custom ABAP webDynpro application from "Related Activities" view found in the employee information page in MSS. I want to pass pernr selected from Employee Search iView to the ABAP webDynpro application in "Related Activities" view.
In the ABAP webDynpro application, I am listening to the portal event (as per note 1112733) but the ABAP webDynpro can not catch the event.
Anyone has passed pernr from employee search iView to the ABAP webDynpro application launched from "related activities" view?

Hi Ashutosh,
can you tell me exactly what you did? I have the same issue.

Attachments from Workflow to ABAP Webdynpro launched from UWL

Hi All,
You might have seen a recent post from me for sending attachments from ABAP Webdynpro to Workflow.
I could do that by just calling SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD. I didnt have to create an instance of the SOFM object
by passing the ATT_ID from this function module.
Now the next task of the workflow which is sent to UWL, automatically carries the attachements in the Workitem.
I didnt do binding from workflow container to Task container. (I dont know how!!)
But I need to get those attachments on my ABAP Webdynpro after it is launched from UWL.
For this I am using SAP_WAPI_GET_ATTACHEMENTS. But this FM is giving me the BOR reference.
How do use this to get the attachments displayed on my Webdynpro as links?
Thanks
Deb

Hi Debabra,
I have similar requirement where I want to add new attachment from Webdynpro abap to workflow and again next level want to view it in UWL in another Webdynpro abap from workflow.
I am trying to attach the document from Webdynpro to Workflow I used FM SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD and looks like it attached in workflow.
Can you please tell how the second part was solved where I want to attach document from workflow to Webdynpro abap
Thanks,

Whether Workflow Program Exit works in ABAP WebDynpro

Hi,
I have the custom workflow in which in each task i have given a program exit to update the status into my custom tables.
Now i'm in doing the change in workflow, that it should call the abap webdynpro screen, where the user decisions has to be made.
I'm getting the Workitem id from the UWL and then it lauches the Web Dynpro to choose either Approve, Reject or Change etc along with some other travel expense information.
Now once i complete the web dynpro by calling the method 'SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE', the particular work item is completed.
I want to ask whether before this FM is called,whether the Program Exit which i have written in the Class method and which is called in the Workflow, whether it triggers or not?
Regards,

It is calling the workflow program exit before the SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE function module.
So closing the thread.

Need to open an ABAP WebDynpro application from Portal UWL work item

Hi All
I need some suggessions on how to navigate to an ABAP WebDynpo application iview from a mail(Work Item) in portal UWL.
Requirement in detail:
Agreements will be created from portal( Agreement Creation Application is developed in ABAP webDynpro and iview has been created with in the portal for this WD application). as and when the agreement is created a mail (ECC Workitem) should trigger to the approver, who has access to portal and check the mail(Work Item) from the portal UWL.
The mail body should consist the link to the Agreement created in portal ( Link to navigate to the Agreement Creation ivew).
So, the main requirement is user should navigate to the Agreement creation iview when he open the mail from UWL.
Mail can be sent from ECC by using ABAP Function modules or by creating a workflow
Please advice me on how can we achieve this requirement.
Thanks & regards
Vijay Bedamsetty

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.

Displaying both ABAP webdynpro and Java Webdynpro tasks in the UWL

Hi,
We have two an issue when trying to get the UWL to process two different types of workflow tasks : ABAP webdynpro and Java webdynpro.
Examples of these tasks are:
TS12300097 u2013 LeaveRequestApprover u2013 Java Webdynpro
TS17900100 - ASR_PROCESS_EXECUTE u2013 ABAP webdynpro
We have two backend systems configured
SAP_ECC_Financials u2013 This has the WAS host pointing to the java stack (xxx:50000)
SAP_ECC_Workflow u2013 This has the WAS host pointing to the ABAP stack (xxx.80xx)
In transaction SWFVISU all the tasks which use Java webdynpro have been configured to use the u2018Javau2019system (SAP_ECC_Financials) using the SYSTEM_ALIAS parameter
In the UWL configuration the system SAP_ECC_Workflow has been registered
In addition to this all u2018Javau2019 tasks have had an extra UWl config XML created to ensure that the SYSTEM_ALIAS is set to SAP_ECC_Financials
The system SAP_ECC_Workflow has been re-registered
The UWL cache has been cleared
However when we try to launch the java webdynpro tasks the system is trying to access the ABAP stack (It is still trying to access the Web AS location for the system SAP_ECC_Workflow even though the system alias was specified as SAP_ECC_Financials )
The ABAP webdynpro tasks (in this case a HCM process and form) are launched correctly
If we try the reverse (i.e register the Java system SAP_ECC_Financials and change the SYSTEM_ALIAS parameter for the ABAP webdynpro tasks to system SAP_ECC_Workflow) then the reverse happens. The java tasks can be launched and the ABAP tasks cannot.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem. Surely other people have implemented both ABAP and Java webdynpro workflows?
Any help much appreciated
Andrew

Thanks a lot for all your replies..
The workitem type registration has been done already, but still it doesn't work..
But here is the actual problem...
There is a link 'Execute Workitem' in the inbox of the approver, or the second level manager...
In the leave application, when we click on this link it is taking to the portal as the task is the Webdynpro Java application task. Whereas, when using ABAP webdynpro application task, it is taking to R/3 - which means that the user cannot access this link without R/3 access. The users are given only portal access, they don't have access to backend R/3.
The requirement is that the link has to take the user to portal directly instead of R/3 - i.e it should ask only for the portal id and password.
Since it was working fine with leave application, I changed the task to Java webdynpro task, but I think the Java Webdynpro application is not deployed in the server.
Please can anybody suggest.
Best Regards,
Sushmitha

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.
