Calling a WebDynpro application from Workflow task without UWL?

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I have a requirement to call Webdynpro application from workflow task.

I have found few solutions for this using UWL, where the workitem can be read through portal.

As we are not using portal, i can't use this approach.

Is there any way that i can achieve this without UWL? How to move data between workflow container and Webdynpro application?

Please help.

Thanks,

Hi,

pls check this link Integrating WebDynpro ABAP applications with UWL for workflow in Portal - Web Dynpro ABAP - SCN Wiki

So, from where exactly do you want to open the web dynpro application?

If cannot use UWL, could you just use the Business Workplace (transaction SBWP) from the backend system? If yes, then just use method CL_WD_UTILITIES=>CONSTRUCT_WD_URL (plenty of examples in SCN). This will launch the web dynpro application into a browser window.

Hi Karri,

Thanks for the reply.  

Yes, using SBWP. Workitem will be transmitted to outlook.

So, when users click on the workitem , a Webdynpro screen need to appear in the browser.

Then, just call the method that I mentioned from the method of your class or business object that you are using in your workflow task. This should do the job.

If you want to open the application directly from Outlook, then this will be a bit longer story...

Hi Karri,

Thanks for the Reply. I have followed the approach and it is working.

But, when i transmitted the workitem from SBWP to outllook using program RSWUWFML2,

In addition to Webdynpro Screen,

a SAPGUI session is opening with a title Execute workitew and nothing in the screen.

How to avoid generating GUI Session?

Please help.

Unfortunately I don't have any experience of this issue.

You might want to consider using Extended Notifications instead of RSWUWFML2, which is the old workflow emailing solution. Extended Notifications solution has better configuration possibilities, although this makes it more complex too.
