Using workflow in BW

[Zmudzin,Tomasz,VEVEY,GL-IS/IT]

Abby,
 
you don't need to reinvent the wheel. The functionality requested by your
customer is implemented in BW as a standard.
 
Please check the BW documentation on the Reporting Agent (in the
"Administrator Workbench" section). It is available at least since BW 2.0A.
 
Kind regards,
Tomasz

Subject: Using workflow in BW
 
 
Hi all -
 
My client is asking about the possibility of running workflow in BW.  One of
the ways we're interested in using this is triggering a workflow to route
the report to a user when an exception occurs in BW.
 
While I've been looking at BW, it appears that you can use the data from the
alert raised from an exception in a report by exporting the data using a
BAdI.  However, I'm not sure what this BAdI is supposed to do - raise an
event to trigger the workflow? I know very little about BAdIs, so this has
been very confusing to me.
 
Any help/advice would be appreciated!
 
Thanks!
Abby  :)
