Differences of transaction 'SWUG' and Webtransaction created from workflow template

[Rickayzen, Alan]

Hi Jocelyn,
 
Just to make it clear for everyone what "replacing" means. The 3.x start
transactions will still run properly in 6.10 but you cannot generate new
start transactions. Instead you can generate Start Forms, which looks a lot
tidyer.
 
In 6.10 the Start Form generation uses a wizard which asks whether your
Start Form should be an EWT (EasyWeb transaction) or a windows form. There's
nothing to stop you generating one of each.
 
In 4.6D there is no wizard. The start form is generated as a windows form.
However you can easily generate an EWT from this form. This should be useful
to those of you using mySAP EBP 2.0C or CRM. (correct me here if I'm wrong,
Jocelyn).
 
I suppose I should have tacked this on to the end of my long mail on user
interfaces.

Hi Deanna,
They have nothing whatsoever to do with each other.
 
Web transactions are SAP Easy Web transactions created to support
the execution of an HTML based form over the web.
 
Workflow Start Transactions are a way of creating a user friendly
transaction to allow users to kick off instances of a specific workflow on
an adhoc basis
rather than starting them via an event.  By the way, I wouldn't overuse
these as they are replaced with Workflow Start Forms in Basis 6.10
(Web app server).

Subject: Differences of transaction 'SWUG' and Webtransaction created
from workflow template
 
 
Hi there,
 
Could someone tell me the differences between the web transaction that is
created from the workflow template/definition screen under 'GOTO' menu
and from the transaction 'SWUG' - Workflow Start Transaction?
 
When I was testing out with transaction SWUG, I tried to click on the
'TEST' button to test the transaction that was created within my workflow
template.
It gave me an error message saying "The transaction  YREJECT920000061000
does not exist".
So I tried clicking on the 'CREATE' button. I realised that it i pops-up
similar screens to create a Web transaction from the Workflow Template.
 
I am curious now to know what's the differences in the functionality. Could
anyone advise me on this?
 
Your help here would be much appreciated!
 
Regards,
Deanna.
