Allowing work items to be started in MS Outlook

[Adrian Clarke]

Stephan,

I realize that now after getting it to work yesterday.  However, I =
would
like to know if anyone has been able to make the SAP MAPI client work =
within
a user's existing profile.  Is it necessary to create a separate SAP =
MAPI
profile in Outlook?  What are some workarounds if a user wants to see
notification of the workflow item in their profile (which is what they
normally would have up all day long).  I am working with Outlook '98.

Thanks
Adrian

Outlook just starts a SAP session in the background, otherwise it =
behaves
like the SAP inbox (in general terms).

What is involved in allowing work items (transactions) to be started =
from MS
Outlook? =20
=20
>From what I have read, it seems that that an attachment needs to be =
created
with the object that is being changed using object type SOFM and then =
sent
using method SendTaskDescription (or a variation of this). =20
=20
Do new subtypes and methods need to be created for both the SOFM and
SELFITEM object types or can this be accomplished without any =
additional
methods than what is provided (I am on 4.0B).
=20
Finally, how does this work if multiple users need to receive the same =
work
item.  Will the work item disappear from the other users inbox when =
someone
processes this work item from Outlook?

Thanks in advance.
