Linking Siebel Workflow to SAP Workflow

[Norris, Susie]

JK=20
First option with XML might work, except for the whole security/firewall =
roadblock.  And we're not likely to get XI any time soon, but I attend a =
4-hour presentation on it Sudany.

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

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,
 
Robert Verlaat
