Hi ,

Here are the answers to your queries.

1.

i have read and check in system but i still do not clear what is workflow template (type WS).

may i know what is workflow template? can explain with simple example?

Ans : Workflow template is kind of a flowchat , but the active one. We can include processing blocks ( standard tasks which will call methods from class/BOR) , we can put conditions , we can put container operations etc etc in this. Basically it will be combination of multiple tasks.

2. what is the difference of workflow template and task? are they the same or difference?

Ans : Task in one single unit of code or logic , but workflow template build up with many of these tasks. Workflow template can contain other node also like condition , loop etc , but task can only contain a method of business object or class to perform and execute.

3.

why can a task is WS?

Ans : Sorry couldnt understand this one ? Workflow template starts with WS and task with TS , its a identifier SAP gave them. Nothing more.

Thanks

Hi ,

Now you are gripping it.

1 What you mean active one? : I mean to say that like we have flow chart in word or visio , but these are for descriptive purpose only. But in the workflow , we do something like that which really get executed at each node. Thats why i am saying active.
2. Correct.

3. Yes , you are very much right , a workflow template can have multiple workflow template also inside it.

Thanks

Hi Banniyan,

1.)Workflow is execution of work sequentially usings tasks.

2.)there is differences between workflow template and task.

    that is task is action where particulate operation takes place.

3.task is single action and ws is sequence of actions.

For example:Preparing of rice is workflow template.

                   steps:Washing,Boiling,Eating. these are the tasks.

I hope you got it.

Hi Hiriyappa,

Thanks for the explain.

1 May I ask in my workflow, I can have more than 1 workflow template, correct? Meaning in my workflow, besides "preparing rice", i also can have other workflow template like "activity" (task in this template like tidy house, movie). Correct?

2 all the task in prepaing rice already included together in the workflow template. Correct?

Thank you very much

Hi,

There are numerous blogs for workflow for starters and there is a lot explained in help.sap.com (including a tutorial).

Are these questions work related? If so, isn't there any helpful soul at the company you are working willing to help?

Kind regards, Rob Dielemans
