Providing Process Context Details

1. Implement the BAdI

1. Log on to the SAP Business Suite Process Observer system.

2. Implement the BAdI POC_PROCESS_CONTEXT.

3. Implement the BAdIi methods, IF_POC_PROCESS_CONTEXT~PROCESS_DEFINITION_CONTEXT_GET (for metadata information) and IF_POC_PROCESS_CONTEXT~PROCESS_INSTANCE_CONTEXT_GET (for runtime information).

   Note

   You can only use the following XSD types in the IF_POC_PROCESS_CONTEXT~PROCESS_DEFINITION_CONTEXT_GET method:

   boolean	byte	date	dateTime
   decimal	double	float	int
   integer	long	short	string
   time	-	-	-

   Note

   You must use the POC_FAC_QUERY_SCOPE_OBJ_INS API to get business object instance ID related to your process. For example, if you want to provide the context–related details for a sales order, you need to know the sales order ID. You can get the sales order ID using the related business object instance ID, which exists as part of the POC_FAC_QUERY_SCOPE_OBJ_INS API result.

4. Save and activate the changes.

2. Register the Context Service

To register the context service for a process, use one of the following:

3. Activate the Context Service
