Openning workitems in SAP trough link from OUTLOOK

[Alon Raskin]

What I did (and there is probably a better way) was create a SAP shortcut to
transaction SBWP (Business Workplace) and then got the LAN guys to place the
shortcut in a directory which everyone had access to. Then when I sent the
notification email to the User's Outlook I included a shortcut to the SAP
Shortcut (\\Server\LanPath\etc\). So when they clicked on it they were
automatically taken to their Inbox. It worked quite nicely, because if the
user was already logged on then they were taken immediately to their Inbox
but if they were not then they were prompted for their password.

Subject: Openning workitems in SAP trough link from OUTLOOK
 
Hello all,
 
We've just installed SAP-Exchange Connector, and it works fine (sending
plain text emails from sap).
As I've understood, workitems cannot be processed in outlook (we don't use
SAP MAPI PROVIDER).
Is there a way to send a LINK to SAP inbox and to the workitem in it?
So when double clicking on it, the sap GUI will start (logging screen) and
after entering name & password, the workitem itself will open?
If it is possible, what will be the syntax?
We use Office XP, Sap4.6c, Exchange 5.5, Sxc connector V1.54
Any help will be much appreciated.
 
Thanks,
