SRM7 + UWL + Application Controlled WF

Thu Jan 16 09:04:50 EST 2014

Hi all,

I got an answer back from SAP.. Apparently it's a no-no to try to test tasks
from SWUS (sigh).

Anyway, I am posting their response here in hopes of saving someone the
pain.

Dear Susan,

Up from SRM 700, there are 2 workflow system types. The process
controlled workflow - PC - and the application controlled - AC -workflow
Up from 700 the system is looking for transactions for the tasks,
in case you use the AC.

But as you correctly recognized the old transacations are not used
anymore. This information are nevertheless neccessary , so that we
cannot delete the assigned transactions for the old tasks.

The system is applied correctly , old transactions we do not need
anymore are not there anymore.

Therefore SWUS cannot be used in this case, more or less from technical
reasosn specific with SRM.

Also we strongly recommend to complete the SRM workflow correctly,
this means , that you should trigger correct desicions or events
which are foreseen in SRM (up to SRM 7.0 is used only in portal/NWBC
noprocess can be done via GUI, there are only log transactions that can
be executed as before).

Therefore if you are testing the process in the Portal and is not
getting the DUMP, everything is fine

Hi Andy,

Of course, my Basis team did the upgrade,  and it doesn't look like any BC
Sets are relevant to this issue.

For example, if I look at /SAPSRM/T_SC_600_000_SP04 in detail, all of the
components look as though they are related to PCW.

Thanks,
Sue

aghhhhh I know this one.  we did this upgrade and I wandered how SAP managed
to make the old templates work with Web Dynpro.  They did not change the
Tasks as these are still called.  So I debugged and found the Task calls the
ITS transaction BBPSC07, then determines your an SRM7 system now and flips
it to call the web dynpro.  I guess it does this in the BBPSC07 PBO.  But I
never wrote it down and can't recall how it does it

I guess you have imported all the BC Sets and I guess it's a Config setting.

You could try sticking an external breakpoint in the BBPSC07 PBO then launch
the workitem.

Hi Arghadip,

There is no BBPSC* service in our SRM7 (upgraded from SRM5) system, and
there is no transaction BBPSC07 in SE93 either.

Perplexing.

Thanks!

Hi Arghadip,

Thanks, but that does not appear to be the problem.  The task launches from
UWL just fine (and I am testing against new Shopping Carts) and I've checked
the IMG settings and this standard task does indeed have EC_DECISION listed.
It's at the time that the task is created in the back end that the short
dump is generated.

Thanks again,
Sue

Hi all (and please do not mock me for being only about 10 years behind the
curve)

We've just upgraded our SRM5 system to SRM7.  And we are staying with the
Application Controlled Workflows (for now).  And we are implementing
Universal Worklist - for new!

So far, my question is simple - I have noticed that the creation of SAP
standard tasks such as TS14508044 will cause a short dump because they refer
to transaction BBPSC07 (the old SRM5 ITS based SC Approval transaction).

The task still launches in the UWL - but when the task is created, it
generates a short dump.
There are no notes on OSS about BBPSC07.  

I am wondering if we 'missed' something in the upgrade, where we would have
cleared out the entries in HRS1201 that refer to obsolete transactions.

Here's the short dump.I've looked all over SCN and am about blind from
having too many windows open, but nothing seems applicable here.

Thanks!
Sue
