Linking Siebel Workflow to SAP Workflow

[Griffiths, Mark]

Hi Robert,
 
Method of integration will depend on how WfMC compliant Siebel is these days .... options would be:
 
> WF-XML integration if Siebel now supports this standard
> BAPIs etc. to create the necessary object in SAP and then trigger a workflow from this
> WAPIs etc. to trigger an event in SAP passing paramaters to an event container.
> Create a Web based workflow running in SAP and then write some interfaces to link out to Siebel
 
Someone like Alan may also be able to fill us in on new options such as using BPM which is a new workflow-type offering in NetWeaver / SAP XI which is less tied to the SAP applications and designed for cross-application processes ... have a look in service.sap.com in the NetWeaver section for more information

Subject: Linking Siebel Workflow to SAP Workflow
 
Dear All,
 
I would like to know if anyone has experience in linking a Workflow from
a
Siebel system to a SAP Workflow? The scenario for us would be: Siebel
Workflow starts a SAP Workflow and waits for feedback of the SAP
Workflow
before it continues(including data exchange both ways, of course).
I'am interessed in the high-level points of attention for this scenario.
F.e. prerequisites for Siebel which take a lot time to customize, or
other
problems encountered.
 
Thanks,
