Intergrating Workflow with SAP Web-Dynpro

[Darren Hague]

Collins,

 

As you probably already know, launching WebDynpro apps from UWL is
already documented at:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/59/d516690e854c7090ae15bf49
2a869f/frameset.htm

 

In terms of developing the WebDynpro app, there's nothing really to know
- the workitem ID is passed in as an application parameter wi_id.
Everything else is standard WebDynpro. You can learn WebDynpro by
attending course TJA311, or by following the tutorials at
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.doc
s/library/webas/Web%20Dynpro%20Sample%20Applications%20and%20Tutorials.h
tm.

 

If you've not used Web Dynpro before, then beware - it's a very powerful
and productive technology, but as an experienced Java developer I would
say that there's a steep learning curve to be gone through (expect 2-3
weeks of intensive learning).

 

As an example, having been through this learning curve, it's taken me
about a week to write my own version of Generic Decision Task. (Jocelyn
- I know the portal version is great ;-), but we wanted to launch our
own handler for viewing attachments - not possible in the UWL version).

 

Hope this helps,

Darren

Hello Sergaren,

 

What SAP system is the Portal inbox receiving its work items from?

 

Is there a document that describes how to develop custom Web
transactions using SAP WebDynpro?

 

Thanks.

 

Collins.

	Hi
	
	I have recently had to develop several custom Web Transactions
due to
	the fact that the Workitems had to be executed from the SAP
Portal Inbox
	and executing standard SAP Transactions on the WEB was a NO-NO
and also
	the user decision task does not work to well on the portal.
	We also had a SAP Web-Dynpro developer on the Project that
created
	custom 
	i-views on ESS/MSS which triggered my workflows. There were a
lot of
	duplication between the Web-Dynpro and Web Transactions I
developed
	catering for changes. 
	
	Is it possible call a Web-Dynpro Transaction from a Workitem
	passing/receiving variables?
	
	You assistance would be must appreciated.
