Execute WF without using any GUI?

[Peter Lindlau]

Hi,
 
SAPforms is an option for windows platforms - it is a set of ActiveX
components.
The SAPforms runtime environment helps you to manipulate the workflow
container (e.g. to execute a workitem which results in an update of the
workflow container data - which is the internally used R3F format). This
also requires that your workflow has a SAPforms based implementation at the
R/3 end.
Finally you need to transfer the R3F container to R/3 by using the
appropriate RFC functions.
Alternatively I would probably look into RFC functions/BAPI's which may or
may not be available to process workitems (may be batch input is also an
option) - or you could implement an RFC function which processes the
workitem. You could then call the function remotely.
 
Cheers - Peter

Subject:  Execute WF without using any GUI?
 
 
Hi,
 
We are on 4.5.
 
Does anyone know if it is possbile to execute workflow without using any
form of GUI?
 
Currently, the user execute the workitem from the workflow miniapps in the
Workplace. When the user clicked on the workitem, it launched the HMTL GUI.
We don't want that. I know we can configure it to use Windows or Java GUI,
that's not an option either.
 
 
 
Is SAPForms a possible solution? I don't really understand how that works.
If anyone can explain or point me to a good documentation, that will be
great.
 
Our requirements are:
 
1. It must be a web interface or any other interface without any software
installed on the workstation.
 
2. HTML GUI has been ruled out because we have a URL in the workitem and
HTML GUI is preventing another browser session to be opened.
 
Any comments or idea will be greatly appreciated.
 
Thank you.
