5 Added by Veena, last edited by Craig Cmehil on Dec 28, 2009 (view change)

This blog w ill help you understand how the SAP Enterprise Portal w orkflow integrates w ith WebDynpro for ABAP applications. Prerequisites You have access to Portal Universal Worklist iView You have access to the Universal Worklist Administration iView . You have implemented an alternative w ork item visualization and execution (for example, through a custom iView ). Portal UWL Adm inistration Each UWL iView can retrieve w ork items from multiple business w orkflow back-end systems. 1. On the portal, choose System Administration->System Configuration->UWL Administration 2. Choose UWL Systems Configuration Universal Worklist Systems To add a new entry, choose New . 3. Here you can define connectors and systems as item providers for the Universal Worklist. 4. Choose Register Item Types for All Systems to perform the registration for all configured systems. The w ork item registration process involves identifying each system by its alias, and then generating the XML description of how to process the w ork item types to be received by UWL from each system.

It defines how a task is executed, once you select the task subject line on the w orklist. The UWL connects to the registered system and generates item types from the Business Workflow task definitions. Each system defines a new WebFlow configuration namespace. When you successfully register a w ork item type, the XML text that defines the execution of the task is made available. The item type links the task definition w ith the item execution by UWL 1.Start Transaction SWFVISU, Choose New Entries 2.Enter your Task ID ex.
