ERP2005: step type Web Activity and Web Dynpro

Thu Dec 14 10:30:38 EST 2006

I'm currently working on a Guided Procedure project under high pressure. I have written an Webdynpro ABAP program for callable object which works and looks good. However I'm having difficulty to pass the parameters from WD ABAP UI to Guided Procedure because I could not have Output parameter in WD ABAP. Does anyone have any idea on this how should I pass the parameters? Input parameter in WD ABAP UI is not a problem for me anymore.

Jocelyn, do you have any good documentation on following SWFVISU, WF_EXTSRV setup. It might work for me if I design a Workflow calling same WD program  and interact from UWL.

Thanks.
Bijay

	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.

		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...
