Exceuting work items from the outlook

[Former Member]

Hello,

We use the MM release strategy triggering W item which are sent to outlook.

When we double click on the work item, we receive the pop up for the login (sapgui shortcut-logon(sys id, client, lang,*swnwiex)

the user id is defaulted but not the password.

We are in ECC-, sapgui 6.40.

In the previous version we used the sapmapi which is not anymore available and maintained and we had the possibility to get directly the sap screen (without entering the pwd).

Is that any solution to this?

Last question: is that possible to have the work item emails automatically deleted once the work item is executed? Indeed this deseapers from the SAP inbox but not from outlook.

Before asking I performed a search in this formum to avoid to ask the same question but in vain.

Thanking you in advance for any help

Kind regarrds

I have perfomed search in this forum before asking

Hi,

As you say the SAP Mapi is no longer supported by SAP. It has been replaced by RSWUWFML2 and this will be replaced by extended notification (see also an article here on SDN about extended notification). These give you the option to execute workitems which you get via a shortcut in your e-mail. The drawback with this is, as you mentioned, the e-mails will not be deleted. Which is logical because there is no direct link between the workitem and the e-mail in SAP.

Also for the login, you need to give password because of security reasons. If you want to connect directly, I think you would need single sign on.

If you want the functionality of the mapi replaced you need third party software as mentioned already before. I have seen it I can say it works, but it requires extra software implemented locally, local configuration and it is quite expensive.

Regards,

Most probably you have to install a 3rd party software. We sometimes use Desktop Workplace.

Mail deletion I feel takes place automatically. Most probably on installing desktop wplace this functionality will also be fulfilled.
