ERP2005: step type Web Activity and Web Dynpro

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi Kjetil,

You're on the right track. WF_EXTSRV does the job for you. Enter your URL
and all the details and hit 'Generate Task'. It will generate a task based
on e.g. WEBSERVICE.PROCESSDIALOG for a dialog call mode. Create a few and
test away.

The only annoying thing on my current system (620) is that it's
client-dependent, meaning the wizard creates some customising table
entries which need to be coppied manually to other clients (name slips my
mind at the mo, there's info in the archives). Not sure if that's changed
in NW04/s.

Cheers,
Mike
