XI BPM and SAP R3 Workflow

Hi.
I have a doubt. I have a BPM that has a part that is a loop. Inside the loop i make some checks in R3 vía RFC.
I want to know if it's possible to get into this BPM while doing the loop and get the values of a container.
I thought about a SAP R3 workflow.
Thanks.

Hi Inigo,
Check this link, if it gives the reqd info

NetWeaver BPM and NetWeaver Business Workflow?

What is the difference between NetWeaver BPM and NetWeaver Business Workflow?

Hi
BPM
The new tools from SAP are aimed to provide the business process flexibility needed to enable customers to turn strategic business insight into real-world execution," stated SAP's announcement. "The addition of the planned capabilities will enable business process experts to design, model and immediately execute new or adapted business processes without having to develop code."
Business Workflow
SAP Business Workflow can be used to define business processes that are not yet mapped in the R/3 System. These may be simple release or approval procedures, or more complex business processes such as creating a material master and the associated coordination of the departments involved. SAP Business Workflow is particularly suitable for situations in which work processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence.
You can also use SAP Business Workflow to respond to errors and exceptions in other, existing business processes. You can start a workflow when predefined events occur, for example an event can be triggered if particular errors are found during an automatic check

Lotus Notes 7.0.1/7.0.2 and SAP Business Workflow

Hi Everyone!
Please help me on this.
My client has received an email from IBM that they could have their SAP Connector free of charge if they are to upgrade their current Lotus connector ver5 to version 7.0.2. This version has included Workflow Integration as part of IBM's integration points with SAP.
Does anyone have an experience on integrating the two? Please share documents or procedures on how to integrate them.
My current configuration is intended for a 1-way communication integration.
I used the report RSWUWFML2 for sending notifications (though in my case, it only sends a message that there were workitems present in the recipient's SAP inbox). The SMTP configuration works fine. The client has not yet purchased the SAP connector.
If the SAP Connector is now available, the 2-way communication will be imposed.
I am planning to configure a 1-way communication integration where it could work either on a 1-way or 2-way communication. Is this possible?
Can I have a configuration (for sending of workitems to Lotus mail or internet mail) which could have a link that connects the recipient to the transaction for approval or workitem execution?
Thank you very much experts!!!
Best regards,
Reymar

Hi,
IBM Lotus Connector for SAP Solutions is a set of two technologies that can be used to integrate IBM Lotus Domino and SAP enterprise resource planning software.
Lotus Connector for SAP Solutions facilitates data transfer and access to SAP software from Lotus Domino.
Lotus Connector for SAP Solutions enables Lotus Notes mail users to receive summaries of SAP workflow items in their Lotus Notes in-boxes, from which the open work item can be launched with the click of a button.
The difference between IBM Lotus Connector for SAP Solutions and IBM Lotus Connector for SAP R/3 with MTA and Workflow is revision 1.7.2 of IBM Lotus Connector for SAP R/3 with MTA and Workflow.
Operating system platforms are supported by Lotus Connector for SAP Solutions with Lotus Domino 7 are supported on the following Lotus Domino 7 server platforms:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Advanced Server
Microsoft Windows 2003 Server and Server Enterprise Edition
IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3
Sun Solaris 9.0
Novell SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 and 9
IBM i5/OS V5R3 and V5R4
Releases of Lotus Domino are supported with Lotus Connector for SAP Solutions are Lotus Domino 6.x and higher and Lotus Enterprise Integrator 6.x and higher are supported
Releases of SAP software are supported with Lotus Connector for SAP Solutions
is version 1.7.2 supports SAP R/3 4.6 and higher, including SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise and SAP ERP Central Component (ECC) 5.0.

Lotus Notes and SAP Business Workflow

Hi Experts!
If you have an experience or if you have SPECIFIC notes on Lotus Notes/SAP Workflow integration, please share some views on these following questions:
1. The SAP version we are using is ECC6. The client wants to upgrade their Lotus Notes client to V7.0.1 which caters Workflow integration. Do we need to have the Lotus Connector for this? (Workitem should be processed using the Lotus Notes client and there is a link where the apporover can process the workitem.)
2. What are the essential technical specifications for this this integration?
 a. Domino Server Platform
 b. Client Platform
 c. Domino Release
 d. Lotus Notes Client version
 e. Product/connector for the link.
3. What should I use for configuring the notification scenario?
 a. Extended Notifications
 b. RSWUWFML2
 c. SWN_SELSEN
Please provide answers on these.
Thank you very much. I'm generous in giving points.
Regards,
Reymar

Hi Akshay!
Am I right to affirm that according to what you've said, there is no Lotus Notes Connector needed for Lotus Notes and SAP Workflow integration?
I actually haven't tested yet the Extended Notification, but from your reply, I think you are confident enough to tell me that it is possible to have a link in the Lotus Notes mail and then this link could bring you to the Document and process it using,of course, the Extended Notification.
I'm very thankful. Have a nice day. And also, please share some notes on how too use the Extended Notification. (--,)

Difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow

Hello guys,
Is there any difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow?
Are there others workflows types in SAP?
In all SAP Workflow Courses (BIT600, BIT601, BIT603, BIT610) only was talked about SAP Business Workflow, and nothing about CRM Workflow.
Thanks a lot!
Kleber

Hello Kleber,
There is not much of the differance between CRM workflows and SAP Business workflows..
Workflows are esentially part of Basis (BC) components and hence its the same across all SAP products as all these products have components of Basis(BC) in them...
To Conclude, SAP Busines workflows and CRM workflows are the same things... However when you work on CRM, the BOR objects would be belonging to CRM and not to ECC... However conceptwise , there in no change at all.. If you learn BIT100......, you can also work on CRM workflows..

Rename "BPM and Workflow" forum to "SAP Business Workflow"

G'Day,
99% of posts in the [BPM and Workflow|SAP Business Workflow; forum deal with SAP Business Workflow. It was originally intended for ccBPM which - though they share some underlying architecture - is basically XI / PI.
A few ccBPM posts occasionally appear in the WF forum, but they are generally not answered and more appropriate in XI. These days I usually move them to XI when it's clear that the 'local' population won't answer it.
So to avoid confusion for people I propose to rename the forum to SAP Business Workflow or at least something that doesn't confuse it with XI.
Any input welcome.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Well, you probably already know what I think ;).
If there is little to no traffic for BPM, then let's call the forum what it is, SAP Business Workflow - Or Workflow and Guided Procedures?
Sidebar: I posted a question to various forums a few weeks ago, regarding 'How can SAP, and ASUG WF/BPM serve you better'. I am summarizing the responses I got below, in hopes that it helps guide you in your quest. The names have been excluded to protect the identities, but I think there is some very valuable info in here. Particularly the final point - which I will follow up on with the respondent.
Anyway, you didn't ask for it, but here it is.
> 1. Have you attended any webcasts related to SAP lately?
No. Not lately, and not ever. (I suppose I am old-fashioned...)
> 2. Are there any topics related to Workflow and BPM that you think are
> important for the 'community'?
Integrating workflows and guided procedures - e.g. enhancing existing workflows to use browser interfaces.
> 3. Looking ahead a year, what do you see as challenges in this area?
Processes that can be executed either in R/3 or in browsers, with information about the process progress etc, as in Guided Procedures. This will probably be the developers nightmare for the next few years.
1. Have you attended any webcasts related to SAP lately?
-yes I did - quite a few, but mostly on web related stuff and XI.
2. Are there any topics related to Workflow and BPM that you think are important for the 'community'?
- personally for me, I still find the guided procedure in Portals not so user friendly and limited. I think more education and influence around GP will be great. I think the community will also appreciate it.
3. Looking ahead a year, what do you see as challenges in this area?
- GP and UWL. I think the concept of "IT doing the first time and the business managing their rules" would be challenging. I have not yet seen this happen, especially on the logistics side. There is a session this year on the same topic at TechEd and I look forward to this session. Hopefully it will help us get some insight.
Right now I am struggling with even getting Workflow off the ground and getting the business to understand what Workflow is and trying to have them budget for it. Workflow is still new to the functional group and even getting them to consider Workflow verse alternatives is somewhat of a challenge. I really have had a great consultant that has taken me under his wing and taken the time to teach me. I think we would be a great story for a presentation.
My challenges for the next year, is how to get over the hump of selling workflow to the business and actually getting projects planned out. I don't know if anyone has an anwer to that one. My other challege is how to handle transfer of knowledge and maintaining workflow that has been built by consultants.
1) I have not attended many SAP webcasts (just one on Solution Manager in the past few months) I'm planning on attending one this comming Monday on BPM.
2) I think understanding UWL / SBWP differences, advantages, limitations on one vs the other, would be an important topic.   Also more information on Extended Notiications
3) Challenges: Upgrades and impact on WF, Unicode and WF and having more WF ABAP OO objects delivered by SAP, other than the "Absence Notification" sample.
1.       I havenu2019t personally attended but as a company we give a webinar once a week and weu2019ve had some great attendance
2.       Technically I think weu2019re OK. We see the need to tell C-level execs where workflow / BPM can help them in businessu2026.
_3.       Workflow is becoming more and more obscure in the SAP landscapeu2026

Integrating SAP BPM and existing workflows, does an interface exist?

Hallo all
I have to evaluate how to build a set of BPM Workflows which shold incorporate "exits" into existing workflows (basically combining BPM and Business Workflows). Do you know if there is a referenc on how such a thing could be acomplished or have some advices for a smart way of organising the interface between the two workflow engines?

Hi Minima,
You may want to post this in the [BPM|SAP Business Process Management; forum.

Statements to validate about BPM and WorkFlow

Hi is it possible for experts here to validate,
1. SAP Business Workflow is primarily used to develop workflow mechanisms for SAP based systems
2. Components of a Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) like the compensation handlers, exception handlers are not available out of the box in SAP Business Workflow and SAP XI BPM
Would appreciate a quick response.
Cheers

Hi NS,
I do not know much on BPEL,
but I had read a blog by Alan.

SAP NW BPM and NW CE in heterogeneous system landscape and SOX

Hi,
Does anybody have experience with implementation of SAP NW BPM in a heterogeneous system environment (SAP, non-SAP, Legacy) in regards to detailed audit requirements (SOX compliance)? SAP Business Workflow is well established regarding SOX compliancy. But, what about NW BPM?
Thanks for you replies in advance.
Shahram

Hi Shahram,
Not sure about the way you are implementing BPM in SAP/NonSAP scenario, but in BPM you can have detailed reporting and analytics for auditing purpose.
You can also create your own data source and pass data values from the process.

BPM and Workflow for SRM 7

Hi
Does anyone know if BPM (Business Process Management) supports SRM and specifically SRM 7.0?
Is it possible to create the workflow in BPM and then transfer it to SRM 7? Will that work flow be a "developed" workflow from SRM point of view?
Sincerely
Anders

Hi,
In that case, I would use BPM for MDM and SRM workflow for SRM document approval.
For SRM ESOA, please visit ES Workplace.

Help deciding between BPM and Business Workflow

Hi All,
We are in the phase of deciding which tool to use for SAP Application systems from Workflow and Business Rules Engine Point of view.
We recommended SAP Business Workflow + BRF+ for that.
But SAP Business Workflow is not having monitoring UI as good as SAP BPM.
So we are planning to propose the solution using SAP BPM instead of SAP Workflow.
Our main requirement is HR Org structure data fetching and it is achievable with SAP BPM what I have studied so far.
My question to the experts is whether SAP BPM can be integrated with SAP BRF+?
Thanks in advance
Message was edited by: Gareth Ryan - please don't use Urgent in your posts and try to use meaningful titles.

Check out the following article, which provides a good overview of both solutions and gives guidance when to use what:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a0bf9a3a-c607-2f10-3f82-cdeff15b7ce4?QuickLink=index&…
The biggest difference (besides the underlying technology stack) is that by modeling processes in BPMN, business users gain transparency and become more involved in BPM projects, leading to better results.
btw, SAP BPM is in the market for 5 years now and has more than one thousand productive customers.

SAP Business Workflow and SAP Netweaver Gateway - Missing extensible elements

Hello,
For a mobile project we use SAP Netweaver Gateway in order to retrieve information from workflows stored into SAP Business Workflow.
We are able to retrieve standard informations for a workflow but custom fields added into "Extensible Elements" section are lost when exit SAP NG.
We have checked the configuration of SAP NG (by 4 differents person) and it seems to be OK.
Do you have an idea why the custom fields are lost during SAP NG processing ?
Thanks in advance

Difference SAP Business Workflow and ccBPM

Hi,
well both mentioned are for connecting Applications. In my point of view there is only a difference in...
SAP Business Workflow:
connects Applications via Tasks across SAP-Systems
ccBPM:
with help of PI it should connect Applications via Adapter and is only message-driven!
am I right?!
Can someone please explain how to implement Business Workflow in SAP-Systems?! I am only aware of ccBPM!
