Hi ,

Here are the answers to your queries.

1.

i have read and check in system but i still do not clear what is workflow template (type WS).

may i know what is workflow template? can explain with simple example?

Ans : Workflow template is kind of a flowchat , but the active one. We can include processing blocks ( standard tasks which will call methods from class/BOR) , we can put conditions , we can put container operations etc etc in this. Basically it will be combination of multiple tasks.

2. what is the difference of workflow template and task? are they the same or difference?

Ans : Task in one single unit of code or logic , but workflow template build up with many of these tasks. Workflow template can contain other node also like condition , loop etc , but task can only contain a method of business object or class to perform and execute.

3.

why can a task is WS?

Ans : Sorry couldnt understand this one ? Workflow template starts with WS and task with TS , its a identifier SAP gave them. Nothing more.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for sharing.

1 What you mean active one?

2 in short, workflow template is a combination of multiple task, correct?

3 can a workflow have more than 1 workflow template? because workflow template having many tasks so i just wonder possible to have more than 1 workflow template in a single workflow.

thanks again

Hi ,

Now you are gripping it.

1 What you mean active one? : I mean to say that like we have flow chart in word or visio , but these are for descriptive purpose only. But in the workflow , we do something like that which really get executed at each node. Thats why i am saying active.
2. Correct.

3. Yes , you are very much right , a workflow template can have multiple workflow template also inside it.

Thanks
