Hello WF'ers

[Kjetil Kilhavn]

Maintenance of the workflow solutions I worked on 15 years ago are now 
handled by others.

I have primarily worked on other types of solutions (OData services and 
a web service based integration) since 2015, but there is little new WF 
development as far as I know.

However, once a workflow developer ... So when the project where the 
main delivery was an OData service we also had an ABAP WebDynpro 
application where a solution to send selected records to specific users 
for approval or handling was needed. Sounds like a work flow to me...

So, enter SAP Business Workflow :-)
That's the last time I created a new 'traditional workflow' and was 
around 4 years ago I believe.

However, the workflow runtime engine is also useful for things that 
don't include any standard tasks or workflow templates. In the latest 
project which was integration using web services the workflow event 
queue provided an easy way to delay the start of the export until all 
data have been committed and of course also to trigger the interface 
both after events we created ourselves and SAP standard events.


In my next project, in which I start working now, I will be looking at 
what we will do with the 15 to 20 thousand 'pieces' of customer code 
when the ECC system is upgraded to S/4. I imagine there will also be 
some workflows there, for instance invoice processing solution(s).

So who knows, perhaps I will acquire some up-to-date skills. After all, 
I created my first ABAP WebDynpro around 4 years ago (the project 
mentioned above), so perhaps this time I should try to learn something 
that others don't declare obsolete when I say I am learning it :-)

Give up on SAP Business Workflow? Never! :-D
