How to know if Approval was done using Fiori App or SBWP

[Former Member]

Hello,

Is it possible to monitor and find out how many Approval or Rejections were done through Fiori.

Or for that matter is there a way to monitor if a Fiori App was used to perform an act (say creation of sales order etc.).

I came across this thread but apparently the suggestion given is incorrect as Approving through Fiori is also a dialog step.

Thanks in advance.

Did you ever find a solution for this?

Hi Sundeep,

Could you share the business background? What will happen after you know the workitem is approved by SBWP or Fiori?

Hi Masa,

Thanks for your reply.

It will certainly help the organization to know how many users have adopted Fiori and justify the investments made and this can be a driver for implementing more Fiori apps.

Also this information will certainly be useful in knowing the user preference and guiding the users who are not using Fiori to adopt it for their day to day business activities.

Hi Sundeep,

In that case you can take statics in Gateway level because the requirement is not which workitem is approved by which transaction.

There are several ways.

+ Logon log on Gateway level

+ OData statistics

Thanks Masa for your reply.

But if I want to know if a particular Workitem was approved through Fiori or through SBWP, is it possible?

Hi Sundeep,

You can do everything. I would use Programing Exit in the workflow template.

Thanks Masa for your response.

I wish there was a standard out of the box feature to know if a particular action (workflow approval, creation or update of objects etc.) has been done through Fiori or GUI.

Thanks again for providing your valuable inputs and clarifying my doubts.

Best Regards

Interesting Masa.  If the workitem program exit encapsulates a call to a function module that has a call screen statement in it, would you know if the Fiori framework and environment would call the Webgui service to have the dynpro displayed in an HTML popup ? I'd find that awfully cool but unfortunatly I think your reply will be no .

Hi Sundeep,

1. This information are available in ERP system. Try to use SAP T codes to retrieve your information.

2. If you have gw service, it is pretty much easier to see how many po are approved via browser or gw client

Thanks,

Hi Karthik,

Which SAP T code you are referring to? The tcode SWI2_FREQ and SWI5 give the total number of workflow instance and it is not possible to differentiate if a particular workflow was processed through Fiori or SBWP.

I want to know if an approval was done through fiori or SBWP and not if it was done via browser or gw client.

Thanks

Hi Sundeep,

I feel you can switch on the trace. I forgot the transaction name, Check with basis. I feel SM/ST. but you can take a record of this in Gateway system and see which classes/methods were called again n again to check the trace for PO approvals.

Thanks Tejas for your reply.

There should be a more simpler way of doing this rather than switching trace and analyzing the classes/methods etc.

We have around 8 approval apps and it is not practical to check the trace for each app.

I hope there is a better and direct way of finding this. Not sure though how!
