Workflow execution from Web

[Former Member]

Hi

I have not worked on forms part regarding workflow.

I have a scenario where in when a workflow is started, work items are required to be executed from Portal. Here underlying tasks when the work item is executed, will be a form ( which might be used to display or modify the data.)

Wanted to know what approach has to be taken so that workflow can be executed from web?

I understand in case of NW04s, we have Adobe forms.Also wanted to know how Adobe form technique can be used in case of Workflow?

Thanks in advance

Hi Akshay,

My reply for your last question must be helpful for this question also.

Hi Akshay,

Basically what you need to do to execute a workitem from the web is to install the Knowledge Management functionality of Netweaver which will give you the Universal Worklist.

The worklist is configured to recognize workitems from the R/3 system. That is all that is required. (The workitems will still be accessable in R/3 in addition)

The default visualization in the UWL is the SAP Gui for HTML which gives you a screen that pretty much duplicates what you see in R/3. If you want a more Web like screen you can use transation SWFVISU and associate a specific workflow task with another method of visualization like a WebDynpro or an Iview. This requires some additional configuration in the UWL for this and you also have to build the Iview or WebDynpro

If your users find the SAP gui for HTML acceptable it's just a matter of config.

Look for a document called "How to Configure the Universal Worklist" that should be available for download to get the details of the necessary configuration.

Hope this helps.
