I have looked into this again today and the solution was indeed found in
SWU3. The RFC Connection had not been set up properly in that WF-BATCH
had not been given its correct password. Having changed this the
workflow is now triggering fine.
Many thanks for the help on this.

Angelo,
make sure you have all required container filled. I assume you are using
TS30001128 and not any home-grown transaction? Should be pretty straight
forward, even though it might be more a ArchiveLink question.
Ciao,
Torsten

Subject: Performance problem with image displaying
Hi all.
My problem of performance concerns the displaying of the images through
ArchiveLink.
If the displaying is performed through the transaction OAM1 there are
not
found particular problems.
If instead the displaying is performed by the link in the workitem, the
time
drastically increases.
Does anybody deal with the same problem?
Every your idea will be well pleasant.
Best regards.
Angelo.

We have utilized the 4.7 workflow engine in combination with our own
custom
SAP Business Server Pages application to automate a couple of approval
processes. The BSP's update custom z-tables in SAP and documents that
are
uploaded get stored in the SAP archives, but retrievable from our
Intranet.
Not sure if this is what you mean by "independent" or not. I will be
presenting at SAP TechEd on this topic if you are interested.

Hi Phil,
SAP is regarded one of the best (if not the best) workflow engines out
there, it's biggest drawback is that you need to run SAP apps to take
full
advantage. However I'd still see it as a perfectly useable tool. Amongst
the
biggest strengths are the organizational management and routing
capabilities. Naturally there will be processes which will cross over
into
your SAP systems, which means you're all set to go with minimum
interface
headaches.
You say 200 apps, are you talking separate applications?!?? Or 200
processes. The concept of business object is academic, every process
revolves around one or more objects. So if you want to define a
'MarketingEvent' object, go ahead. An object doesn't need a key, so you
don't even need anything in the database, just create your BO and add
your
methods to form your tasks. Or go one better - this is a perfet
opportunity
to go fully ABAP-Class based.
Other pros for SAP WF is the open architecture - XML, SOAP and various
other
TLAs which all make it (supposedly) interact nicely with other compliant
apps. With the latest NW, you can even mail out PDF forms, have people
fill
them in and receive them back into WF (might address the userid-question
Mark raised). I plan to check this one out at TechEd (See you there,
Sherie).
Concering your 'development effort' concerns... you're going to have
that if
you are replacing a WF system anyway, might as well make it a re-useable
effort.
In short, I say it's perfectly feasible but still depends on the exact
nature of the existing apps.
Cheers,
Mike

Henry,
I would suggest to first double check that workflow is properly
configured in the TEST/QA system (SWU3) in the appropriate client. Then
I would double check on the task itself (WS) that the triggering event
is indeed activated and items correctly bound (PFTC_DIS). The simplest
things sometimes trip us up. :o)

Subject: Workflow not kicking off in TEST system
I have changed an existing workflow in a DEV system, tested it there,
and have transported to TEST/QA for my client to test. With a problem
having been flagged up by them, I have run the required transaction to
trigger the start event in TEST. Strangely, this does not seem to be
creating any work items in SWI1. I initially thought this could be down
to the event linkage being faulty but I have checked in SWETYPV and all
appears to be fine in there. Moreover, I have run an event trace and the
event is appearing in there as having been raised, with everything
appearing to be in order as far as I can tell.
Have I missed something here?
I am still quite new to workflow so apologies if this is something
pretty obvious.

You can also use SWUE to check that your workflow is found by SAP as an
event receiver.
