<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=716180119-15052007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Here is my previous summary to the
group:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=716180119-15052007>
<P><FONT size=2>* New WF-XML based functionalities from SAP WAS 6.2 - you might
want to search on this on SDN?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>* Changes in container technology</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><SPAN class=716180119-15052007> </SPAN>o One
of my personal favs... The "Properties" as well as "Initial Values" are on
separate tabs from your basic definition (which I often overlooked in those
early post-upgrade days)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><SPAN class=716180119-15052007> </SPAN>o Check
out the Header Basic data for the WS container (the hat icon within workflow
builder)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><SPAN
class=716180119-15052007> </SPAN>§
Under Version Dependant Tab => Control Tab, there is a "Persistence Profile".
In the Persistence Profile you can specify the normal tables or a new XML
table</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><SPAN
class=716180119-15052007> </SPAN>§ Our
old flows were set with "Compatibility" (which uses the old tables), but new
flows are set with "XML" as standard. (The "Structure" mode is outdated and not
recommended.)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><SPAN
class=716180119-15052007> </SPAN>§ The
new data types are allowed only with the new XML persistence</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><SPAN
class=716180119-15052007> </SPAN>§ The
XML persistence should save storage space and increase performance when running
flows</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>* There is a new binding editor </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><SPAN class=716180119-15052007> </SPAN>o
allows you to drag & drop (and it will remind you if you don't use it)
:o)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><SPAN class=716180119-15052007> </SPAN>o the
import and export are separate and they are tested separately (this one caught
me a few times)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><SPAN class=716180119-15052007> </SPAN>o you
can bind from a specified element to an unspecified element, but not the other
way around</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><SPAN class=716180119-15052007> </SPAN>o lots
of choices in the binding instructions, check out the icon between flow and step
columns in the binding editor</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>* Step Type activities, user decisions, wait steps, and web
activities have three possible conditions that can be bound.... check out the
tab "conditions" after "requested end"<SPAN class=716180119-15052007>
</SPAN>and "methods" on the step.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>* You'll have to ask the true programmers about this one, but I
know there is a new interface for the new container called
IF_SWF_IFS_PARAMETER_CONTAINER.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>* Lots of info around the Universal Worklist which we were
already using</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>*<SPAN class=716180119-15052007> </SPAN>There are start
options in SWUS</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>* Multiple conditions in workflows can now be CASE or SWITCH...
the SWITCH functionality really adds some cool flexibility</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>* Lots of info around ABAP Objects and ABAP Classes that was too
technical for me</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>* As we have heard from the Wuggers in previous messages...
RSWUWFML2 is replaced with extended notifications</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>* Also noted in recent Wugger messages.... correlations is a new
solution for when you might not have the object key at the time of the creation
of a wait step.</FONT></P></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Hope this helps,</FONT></DIV>
