How to access UWL tasks from ABAP ?

[Johnny_B_]

Hello workflow experts!

We are using UWL adhoc workflows (java workflow) in connection with Portal collaboration rooms. The system creates the tasks in the java workflow with relation to the collaboration room - so far so good.

Now I would need to read adhoc tasks (or workflows) from ABAP. I have not found any API yet. Does someone know how to get Java workflow tasks from ABAP ?

Thank you in advance!

Hello Johannes,

Well if I had to do your job , I would create java webservices in the portal to manage items. There are java APIs for the UWL. Then call this webservices fom your ABAP program using proxy classes (very easy to create, you have a wizard).

Not sure it the best idea, but that the only one I have to perform such thing.

You would find threads of both topics in forums.

Hope it helps.

Hi Johannes ,Please see if this information helps.

WebFlow offers the open interface called Wf-XML.The Wf-XML interface is based on XML and allows workflows from different vendors to communicate with each other.Wf-XML is the only open interface for supporting interoperability of business processes.

Wf-XML comes from the Workflow Management Coalition, an independent body of workflow vendors.

The Actional control broker integrates directly into SAP WebFlow enabling proxy objects to be called directly from the workflow step. When called, the proxy method will make a call to the outside system either as a background task or as a dialogue step.

These proxy objects are generated in the SAP system using a converter which converts the objects interface to the SAP syntax.

A detailed description of the interface is available on the WfMCs web site at www.wfmc.org.

Hello,

mayby I was unclear in the descriptiion of my question.

I need to access JWF tasks from ABAP.

In the simplest form: I want to read all open tasks in the Java workflow from an ABAP program or function module.

This is easily possible with Standard SAP Business Workflow tasks, but I do not know how to read tasks from the JWF in the portal.

can you help on this issue ?
