Verifying Workflow Customizing

Use

This function can be used to check the current status of Workflow Customizing and start Automatic Customizing if applicable.

Integration

Automatic Customizing does not cover all areas of Workflow Customizing. For example, Auto-Customizing does not cover maintenance of the organizational plan or the Customizing of standard tasks and workflow templates.

Prerequisites

Authorization

You require appropriate authorization for the functions shown. This is the authorization (authorization object S_PROGRAM ) for executing a program for authorization group SWU_TRA1.

Features

The activities checked automatically upon calling are displayed. The result of the check is shown with a graphical symbol. The overall result of the check is also assessed.

If a Customizing activity is shown as having errors, execute Auto-Customizing (see below). You can also double-click on one of the entries displayed to go directly to maintenance of the respective Customizing activity. The description of the Customizing activity is also displayed when you double-click.

After Auto-Customizing, execute the functions listed below (which are located in the Edit menu).

Test RFC destination

Choose Edit ® Test RFC destination to test the configuration of the RFC destination. The workflow runtime system executes its tRFC (transactional RFC) calls on this destination for technical reasons.

Automatic Customizing

"Auto-Customizing" was developed to simplify SAP Business Workflow Customizing as far as possible. It is possible to perform all the necessary Customizing activities involving the basic technical settings in one operation.

The following standard settings are made, amongst others:

Configuring a client-specific RFC destination

If there is not one already, a user (including password) is created for the logical destination WORKFLOW_LOCAL_<client> . Specify a user that has been created in the current client with the user type "background" and that has the authorizations SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW.

Scheduling a background job for deadline monitoring

Scheduling a background job for repeated starting of background steps with temporary errors.

Setting an active plan version

The active plan version is set to "01" if no active plan version has been maintained yet.

Classifying single-step tasks as "general tasks"

The generic decision task (standard task for user decision) and other standard tasks that are used for the workflow scenarios supplied are classified as "general tasks".

Maintaining a workflow administrator

If no workflow administrator has been maintained yet, your user name (current SY-UNAME ) is entered as administrator.

Start verification workflow

Choose Edit ® Start verification workflow to start a workflow that tests some of the basic functions of the runtime system. Follow the instructions on the screen.
