XML documents

[Kris WUG]

Alan and Nicholas
 
Thank you for the information. I have checked the following two notes in the
system.
I found that the first note is already applied and the second note I have
ran the program.
 
Currently I can view the XML documents. The source workflow(a) and the
target workflow(b)
are getting triggered and completed successfully. Actually I have three
steps in the source and
three steps in the target workflow.
 
But the export parameters of the source workflow are not being passed to the
import parameters of the
target. I have properly done the binding in the webactivity steps. Because
there were no errors and the xml
documents show the container data.
 
once again I appreciate your help.
 
Best regards,
Kris.

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.

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:
7     'file.xml' - if it is a Wf-XML document from the remote SAP system,
or
7     '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.
