Hi Collins,
The application parameter is additional parameter option to be passed to
the application or transaction.
I dont think that would be of much use here, I dont have much knowledege in
workflow as such and its transactions.
but why would you need a Launch Mini app? I mean there are 4 types of GUI
(SAP GUI for windows being common).
1) SAP GUI for Windows (Mostly Used)
2) SAP GUI for Java (for Non Windos OS)
3) SAP GUI for HTML (Used by ITS - Not many use these days except for few
specific applications like ESS)
4) SAP Launch MiniApp (ITS Specific Template based Control)
