Creating an Instance of a BSP Callable Object

Use

To use the BSP application in a business process modeled with Guided Procedures (GP), you must register the application as a callable object. This creates an instance of the BSP callable object, which you can then activate and execute.

Prerequisites

  • To be able to work with the GP design time, you must be assigned to portal role GP Business Expert, or have the relevant permissions.
  • The logical destination and portal alias for the system where your BSP application resides must be configured. For more information about RFC connectivity, see Maintaining RFC Destinations . For more information about portal aliases, see Managing System Aliases .

Procedure

  1. Launch GP design time, as described in Launching Guided Procedures (GP) Design Time .
  2. Choose Create Callable Object from the contextual panel.

    The first screen Basic Data is displayed.

  3. Enter the following data as shown in the example:
    • Type - select User Interface → Business Server Page (BSP)
    • Name - for example, Display Pictogram

    • Original Language - selectEnglish
    • Location - select a folder to store the callable object
