<DIV><SPAN class=319002122-14122006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>It's

generate the task. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

use SWFVISU or UWL XML configuration that overrides whatever object/method you

need is for your Workfow-task which calls a WebDynpro Application a dummy
method which does do anything. You could use a simple abap class which
implements the interface if_workflow. Very easy to design. Take the
standard task 12300097, which the absence request workflow uses for the

as Jocely already stated, with transaction swfvisu.</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>
