You need to encode each mail AFTER you received it. There are 6 possibility for Chinese: Chinese Simplified (GB18030), Chinese Simplified (GB2312), Chinese Simplified (HZ), Chinese Traditional (Big5), Unicode (UTF-7), or Unicode (UTF-8). You have to possibly try all 6 to display it right.
I know this sounds crazy, but I do this all the time.
Good Luck,
Noriko

Would changing the user settings of WF-BATCH work? Changes includes:
1. Changing the Logon Language to ZH
2. Communication Language to ZH
3. Communication Method to "INT Email"
I changed my outlook settings to have encoding to "Chinese Simplified".
But when the email arrives from R/3, the encoding reverts back to
"Western European". I'm suspecting WF-BATCH's settings. Any
ramification/s for changing WF-BATCH's settings?

Did you check the PC settings as well to make sure Asian Languages are
installed?
Also did you check the codepage setting on the mail itself.
If the codepage is not appropriate or the PC can't handle asian
languages you will get pound signs or boxes in place
of non-Latin characters.

Thanks for the reply. But all the chinese characters in the outlook
email (sent by the Workflow) were all replaced by pound signs "#". Even
if you change the encoding to the correct language, the characters in
"#" will remain "#". I just tried it.

Correctly sent message in double bites languages do not always display
correctly at first. The reader has to encode each message, I think.
That's the way I read Asian languages in Outlook/Yahoo inbox.

Interesting problem. We also use multiple codepages in our 4.6C system -
but we haven't done much translation yet. If I remember correct Chinese
and Japanese are double-byte codepages. If you have everything correct
in SAP (including SCOT log of transmitted messages), could it be the
mail gateway that causes problems?
Are the message headers correct in Outlook, i.e. indicating the correct
encoding?

I think you precede the command with a * - at least I seem to remember
that that is what is done in RSWUWFML2. It's the same as "AND SKIP FIRST
SCREEN", which may or may not work depending on the transaction you
call.

Kjetil,
Thanks for the info. I didn't debug the code but I took a look
at it and saw that the parameter is the field name plus the command.
When using VA02, I ended up setting i_parameter to
'VBAK-VBELN=0000001714' to get the value to populate into the document
number field which was exactly what I needed. I didn't use the command
because I was receiving the command dialog. I know there's a way to shut
that off but letting the user hit the enter is good enough.
Richard...

Can't recall exactly how it is set up, but put a breakpoint in
there and run RSWUWFML2 with the options for individual messages and
execution attachment. Then there will be a shortcut attachment with work
item ID as parameter.

The create shortcut function module SWN_CREATE_SHORTCUT
has an import parameter call i_parameter that gets concatenated with the
either the transaction report or system command.
Does anyone know how to use this? What I'm looking to
find out is, can it be used to to fill a parameter id? I want see if I
can eliminate the user from having to type in an order number when they
get to VA02.
Thanks,

1) Can WF's be initiated from Portal or are mainly in R/3?
Yes of course. You just need an application that fires a workflow
event.
Most ESS/MSS applications work this way for instance.
2) Do you use any kind of form based tool like adobe document services,
infopath etc. to trigger WF? If yes, what kind of transactions / ESS /
MSS requests are these?
If you want to do this then use the ISR approach with Adobe - as that
gives
you pre-built WebDynpro apps that have the event handling and user
exits available.
3) Anybody aware of ISR's/Guided procedures? Advantage of one over
other? In which scenario would you use one over the other?
Guided Procedures are very very new... be prepared for the usual hassles
of being on the
bleeding edge... however by all means give them a go.
Note: They don't cater as yet for aysnchronous scenarios such as when
you need to listen to terminating events.
And by definition they have a limited complexity as they are intended to
be put together
by non-technical people.
Use GP for simple scenarios with no or light integration with the
backend.
For anything complex or with heavy integration use WF.

Que?
How did you manage to do that?!
A wait for event step is a background step by definition - it just waits
for an event to happen. When that event happens it completes and the
subsequent step is started. You should be able to see the waiting event
in the workflow log and in transaction SWEINST.
But how did you manage to get something from it into your inbox?? Is
there anything weird about your WF-BATCH setup or did you do something
unusual with your step.
