Integrating SAP Workflow inbox with MS Outlook

[Lago, Daniel]

Hi Kim,
 
This topic was discussed in the mails subjected:"RSWUWFML - with =
attachment to launch user's SAP inbox". You only need to use the report =
RSWUWFML and read the documentation concerned to it. If you are in a =
4.6B version and only need what you have posted this report is perfect.
 
If you need/want to acces to a SAP transaction directly from the =
Outlook email, you could change that report (copying as Z... and so on) =
adding the following source code I developed some years ago in a 4.6B =
system:
 
...
DATA: LF(1) TYPE X VALUE '0A'.
DATA: CR(1) TYPE X VALUE '0D'.
DATA: CRLF(2) TYPE X VALUE '0A0D'.
...
 
* Transacci=F3n de acceso a SAP
selection-screen begin of block 3 with frame title text-t02.

Subject: Integrating SAP Workflow inbox with MS Outlook
 
 
I apologize for my confusion, because I know this topic has been =
discussed quite a bit lately.
 
I have been assigned a high priority project to Integrate the SAP =
Workflow inbox with MS Outlook, such that when a userid has one or many =
workitems, they will receive an Outlook email (one per day) with a link =
to their SAP Workflow inbox. Also need the flexibility to use this =
functionality only for specific workflow tasks. We are currently on =
4.6B.
 
What is the best way to accomplish this?
