Webtransactions and MAPI / Outlook

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Rob,
Definitely a trick question.
 
Web transaction = executed in a web browser
therefore accessed by a URL.
 
Work item has long text echoed to Outlook - put URL in long text.
Outlook will convert to hyperlink.
 
BUT web transaction still needs web environment.
Specifically FORM.HTMLPROCESS needs:
web server connected to ITS (SAP Internet Transaction Server) connected to R/3 system
+ custom built ITS service/templates based on your web transaction.
 
So ... if you're asking a question like this then I'm wondering if you have fully understood
how web transactions work.
 
You don't mention your release - might help you to know there are easier ways to build web transactions in SAP WAS systems (Basis 6.20 and above, such as R/3 Enterprise).

This is not a trick question. I made a webtransaction (FORM-HTMLPROCESS) and I want to be able to execute this in Outlook. I am wondering if this will/can work.
 
Situation: I have to make a workflow for Credit Management in SD where the agent can fill in Open Items which should be blocked and monitered.
AND they want to do it in Outlook. They have already the connection to SAP in Outlook for other workitems, so can they execute the new workitems.
 
Regards,
 
PS: sorry if this is a stupid question (if stupid questions exist)

Is this a trick question ?
 
Ok I will bite...
 
where Is the connection between the 2 ?
 
MAPI for Outlook does an rfc call to get information
and shows this in an Outlook form.
 
What is the connection to a webtransaction ?
 
Is there new functionality in MAPI for outlook I don't know ?
 
You have me very curious now
