Workflow with Hierarchies from LDAP?

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Lars,
If you can call your LDAP system via RFC then you could use a programmed
rule (standard role) to call the LDAP system and return the relevant agents.
 
This is probably the simplest option, but a lot depends on what LDAP system
you are using, how easily it supports remote procedural calls, whether you
have
or are able to create appropriate routines in your LDAP system to extract
the
data you need etc.  Suggest you talk to your LDAP and Basis Technology
groups/consultants.
 
If you really want to bring your LDAP hierarchies into HR that's a bigger
question
as to whether that's the right way to go long term and how that would impact
current HR org plans - suggest you talk this over with your HR
group/consultants.

Subject: Workflow with Hierarchies from LDAP?
 
 
Hello,
 
we are implementing a complex sap-landscape for a banking company which is
migrating from the host to mysap.com.
All Processes, except HR will be done by SAP-Systems in the near future (HR
stays on Peoplesoft).
 
When we talk about our workflow architecture, we would like to use the
Organizational Structures which we have
in our Corporate LDAP Server (Microsoft Active Directory Server).
 
Can i anyhow use the Structures and Hierarchies and Persons in our
LDAP-Server there to connect them to our
workflows.
 
We only found in sapnet, how to synchronize sap-office-addresses with ldap,
and hr-personel-data. But not Info about the Hierarchies. Would it be
possible to import them in SAP-PD-ORG or can we connect from Workflow
directly to our LDAP-Directory?
Any Help is appreciated
 
Thanks in advance
Lars Laegner
