Enter an expression that contains a URL.

Note

End of the note.
If the XML document is sent to an SAP System and a workflow is to be started there, you can enter a static URL. You also have to use the Generate SAP URL wizard. Choose . If the target system has the SAP Release 4.6C or 4.6D, the SAP Internet Transaction Server (SAP ITS) is called and the URL has the following structure:
Syntax
1. ```
http://<webserver>/cgi-bin/wgate/wf_handler/!?
~protocol=<protocol>&~localkey=<localkey>
```
End of the code.
If the target system has a SAP Release from 6.10, the SAP Web Application Server (SAP Web AS) is called and the URL has the following structure:
Syntax
1. ```
http://<webserver>/SAP/BC/WORKFLOW_XML/?

End of the code.
In <protocol> you specify the transfer format used in the form of a two-digit number. In <localkey> you specify the ID of the workflow to be started.

End of the note.

Example
You want to start workflow WS00000000 and use transfer format 01. The SAP System on which the workflow is to be started has Release 4.6D and the address of the server is WEBSERVER01. The entry required in Address (URL) is:
