AW: XML documents

[Rickayzen, Alan]

Kris,
 
The two commonest problems are:
 
1) The business document navigator failing to display the xml documents =
in some releases (described by Nicholas): Solved by note 406295.
 
2) Incorrect configuration of the business document server in some =
releases. Solved by note 700838 (run the report RSWXML_REPAIR).
 
I'll make sure that both notes are easier to find in the workflow =
context.
 
Best regards,

Kris,
 
I've just read your emails on Wf-XML.
A coupe of years ago I set up a model to demonstrate this.
 
Wf-XML is a useful feature in SAP that is very rarely used - if at all.
 
I haven't got access to an SAP system at the moment so I can't check =
things
at the moment but from the documentation I made at the time I can tell =
you
the way I viewed the XML documents.
 
Transaction: SWXML - so you are in the right transaction
(Menu path: SAP menu > Tools > Business Workflow > Development > =
Reporting
> WebFlow > XML Document Selection.)
 
You may want to double-check your selection criteria in the report
selection screen.
 
Double-click on any of the line-items to drill-down to the XML object.
 
I found a bug that prevented some of the XML documents from being =
displayed
on the right hand side of the screen. One way I got around this was to =
use
the 'Export document' feature.
 
You will be prompted for a path. The document is stored in the chosen
location as:
=B7     'file.xml' - if it is a Wf-XML document from the remote SAP =
system,
or
=B7     'file.htm' - if it is an error message from one of the ITS =
virtual
instances.
 
This allowed me to view all the XML docs.
 
 
Kind regards,
Nicholas Brand

I am not getting the error message "Process instance Key not available"
anymore
as it seems to be an authentication issue.
As per the "Practical workflow for SAP" book I should be able to see
XML request and response documents in the container of the
web activity workitem. But I cannot see any XML documents in the =
container
for
some reason. Also I made a futile attempt from Business document =
navigator
to see XML docs.
Could anyone through some light here? Is there anything to turn on
the XML doc attachments .
 
Thanks in advance.
Kris.
