Develop new OData service for workflows

[Former Member]

Dear Gateway/Fiori experts,

Is it possible to develop new OData service for workflow approval apps.to integrate custom/standard workflows available in business suite.

Yes the Fiori MyInbox app or Approve Requests app can connect well with workflows , but the UI template of our app does nt fit well with requirements. we want to further integrate drill down approach to other apps and use a complete different template than master detail and extensibility points are limited.

So, developing a new app from scratch is the only way.

But how feasible is it to develop a new OData service for workflows? What are the considerations for it.

Appreciate your suggestions.

Hello Daniel,

Please have a look at the below once.

Based on our requirement once we know which part of the workflow logic to be called, we can consume those by implementing  appropriate CRUD methods in our data Provide Class.

Is WFSERVICE a standard service shipping with gateway for integrating workflows with OData.  Is it completely extensible / customised ?to add more entity sets and fields to it

Yes WFSERVICE is the standard service which can be used.

Looks like its not added and activated hence its not visible in /iwfnd/maint_service.

You can find it once you click on 'Add Service' button with System Alias as 'LOCAL' in /iwfnd/maint_service. Then add it and activate.

Yes, i have added the service now. But trying to figure out the customization part of it as per the above.

Any suggestions ?
