Initiating process through Web Dynpro Application

[Former Member]

hi All ,

I am facing complex problem. We are develpoing application to help HR in handling queries posted by employees. As different processes(post query , sending reminder mail , escalation to higher level etc) are involved in we are planning to use guided procedures. This application is going to be accessed by users through portal which is not on production server on which application is going to be deployed. To make it simple i will put as our production server is PROD and we want to access this application from portal of server PORT. Thus we can not initiate processes invloved in application through runtime guided procedures in portal of production server.

I would like to know

1.is there any way to initiate this runtime process through web dynpro.

2.can we also show process which is initiated , or pending for action for current user though web dynpro application.

3. Also if i m having process e.g. Job Application which is checked from GP runtime . If i am initiating process from webdynpro using GP API how user interface is look like?

I tried using GP API and initiated process but i cnt see any UI which i can see from GP runtime while initiating process.

Hi Kavita,

Using the GP API will start a process bypassing all the UI steps ( filling users in roles, assigning values to parameters, etc). If you want the UI version of the instantiation functionality, you should use our Instantiation Application.

The link to it is:

http://<server_address>:<server_port>/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/caf_eugp_uiinst/AInstantiation?process.template.id=<process_template_id>(&process.autostart=t this is optional and can be used if you want to bypass all preset steps of the instantiation wizard).

Thnx forthe reply. But i want to assign roles and input parameters using API , but after that how to proceed? If i assign roles , i/p parameters and initiate process using GP API in webdynpro , how to make visible UI for different actions those r designed at design time?

If have web dynpro application having viewset(2 rows). row in row 1 i have embedded one view with two buttons. On click of one button i am firing plug to display viewDisp in row 2 of viewset . And on click on another button i want to initiate guided procedure(Job aplication) and aloow user to proceed through Same web dynpro application. is it possible?

Hi Kavita,

I think it is possible, but you have to use the portal navigation api to navigate to GP Process Instance page. Look for how to use the navigateAbsolute method and if it is exposed, I can provide you with the parameters for navigating to GP's page.
