see that e.g. task TS40007901 (configured in SWFVISU) has some parameters, so
binding should also be possible. <SPAN class=356291908-14122006><FONT face=Arial

irrespective of "mode of engagement", i.e. no matter how you execute the work
item? Our idea is to use the notification (RSWUWFML2 *or* extended notifications
if we find the time to learn how this works) for work items and send
notifications with the attachment which lets you execute the work item
directly.</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Hi Kjetil,</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>If you're going to make a new workflow by calling a Web Dynpro
application, I think it's better to design in Guided Procedure.
The prerequisite is Netweaver Portal. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>It's lot easier to design a Guided Procedure which will give you
possiblility to call any webie program e.g. Webdynpro ABAP, WebDynpro Java,
iView, iView from Visual composer etc. </DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=229371717-13122006><FONT face=Arial size=2>However,
during my attempt in our sandbox system I have become quite

single-test of the step works, but not the workflow.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=229371717-13122006><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I try to
test it fails with error message SWP135 (Unable to determine work item

missed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

restricted it to area BC-BMT and got it reduced to 16 messages, of which
zero were relevant when we don't consider "Analysis for workflow problems"
