Use

In this Customizing activity, you define SAP Business Workflow standard settings using "automatic Customizing".

Defining system settings and system activities is required for SAP Business Workflow. This must be done on a client-specific basis.

Automatic Customizing checks whether SAP Business Workflow Customizing is complete with respect to other important settings. An initial verification workflow can be started.

Note that automatic Customizing does not cover task-specific Customizing, that is, the assignment between tasks and possible agents.

Example

Requirements

Standard settings

The following standard settings are defined by carrying out the steps below:

  • Configure an RFC destination:

    If not yet specified, a user and password is requested for the logical destination "WORKFLOW_LOCAL_<Clt.>". Specify a user created in the current client with the user type "background" and with the authorizations "SAP_ALL" and "SAP_NEW".

    If a "WORKFLOW_LOCAL" RFC destination has already been configured, it is copied according to the new naming convention; user and password are not affected.

    Important : The user must have a valid e-mail address.

  • Schedule a background job for a missed deadline
  • Maintain an active plan version:

    The active plan version is set to 01 as long as an active plan variant has not been defined.

  • Classify decision tasks as general:

    The generic decision task (standard task for user decision) and the standard tasks used in the verification workflow and automatic Customizing for Message Control are classified as general tasks.

  • Define a workflow system administrator:

    If a workflow system administrator has not yet been defined, your user name (current SY-UNAME) is entered as the workflow system administrator.

All settings defined by automatic Customizing can also be performed in individual steps. However, this is generally not necessary. If required, you can find the individual activities in Customizing under Business Workflow.

Recommendation

Activities

Perform the Customizing activity as follows. This starts the check report.

  1. Choose Perform Automatic Workflow Customizing.

    You can see which activities were performed in the log.

  2. See whether the check results listed are all correct.

    All the settings which were made and checked should now be marked in the result list of the check report with a green checkmark. If this is not the case, review the relevant setting by double-clicking on the red cross.

  3. Choose RFC Destination Info.

    The system tries to log on to the logical destination with the user specified. (If there are password problems, logon is not successful despite the green checkmark in the result list). A dialog box to this effect is displayed.

    To set the RFC destination again, choose workflow RFC destination fully configured.

  4. Choose Start Verification Workflow.

    Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

Further notes

Repeat the steps described above in each client in which you are working with SAP Business Workflow.
