ERP2005: step type Web Activity and Web Dynpro

Thu Dec 14 03:23:05 EST 2006

Hello Kjetil,

actually you dont need a own business object. All you need is for your
Workfow-task which calls a WebDynpro Application a dummy method which
does do anything. You could use a simple abap class which implements the
interface if_workflow. Very easy to design. Take the standard task
12300097, which the absence request workflow uses for the Approveal
activity (its a WebDynpro application). The rest of config is done, as
Jocely already stated, with transaction swfvisu.

cheers,
Markus

Bijay, I forgot to inform about our reason for trying this approach: our
Guided Procedure system won't be available until it is too late for the
first release cycle. You know how managers sometimes like to brag about
things they don't have a clue about? This is one of these cases, where
someone high above us working ants has promised delivery in February.

And sometimes (workflow) developers like to brag that "anything can be
done" in workflow. That's me in this case :-(

Jocelyn, you just ruined my day... and probably next week. But thanks
anyway ;-)
Not good news at all, as it seems I will have to create my own business
object if we are going down this road. At least I can't seem to find
anything relevant in SWO1.

	Actually you don't need Guided Procedures to call a WebDynpro
application. 

	You can do that easily enough from transaction SWFVISU, UWL XML
configuration of the launch mechanism for that task, or transaction
WF_EXTSRV.

	The "web activity" step is to do with WF-XML - and is not
relevant to simply calling a WebDynpro application.

	Hi Kjetil,

	If you're going to make a new workflow by calling a Web Dynpro
application, I think it's better to design in Guided Procedure. The
prerequisite is Netweaver Portal. 

	It's lot easier to design a Guided Procedure which will give you
possiblility to call any webie program e.g. Webdynpro ABAP, WebDynpro
Java, iView, iView from Visual composer etc. 

	Bijay

		My intuition tells me it should be possible to call a
Web DynPro screen from a web activity step - and preferrably even a Web
DynPro for ABAP and not just the Java version.

		However, during my attempt in our sandbox system I have
become quite depressed. I can't even get a simple workflow where the URL
is fixed (http://www.google.com/) working. The single-test of the step
works, but not the workflow.

		When I try to test it fails with error message SWP135
(Unable to determine work item type for step at node 0000000004). That
message looks just plain stupid in my eyes, I thought I pretty much
defined the step type when I selected the "Web activity" icon, but
perhaps there is something I have missed.

		Our config seems OK, transaction SWU3 shows green lights
everywhere it should matter (definition environment and runtime
environment).

		The OSS search doesn't help me, nothing is returned for
<SWP135>, nothing was returned for <"determine work item type">. When
searching for <determine work item type> a lot of messages about other
items and types were found. So I restricted it to area BC-BMT and got it
reduced to 16 messages, of which zero were relevant when we don't
consider "Analysis for workflow problems" (322526) and other generic
notes relevant.

		I have also tried SWUD with the trace on. Unfortunately,
I can't really say I felt enlightened after looking at the trace.

		Anyone care to help a clueless beginner? Not that I
think this WWW thing is here to stay anyway...
