Subscribing to Notification Types

You can subscribe to the following notification types:

• Short notification, containing only text and a link to the specific work item sent.

• Full payload notification, containing the extended work item details.

To subscribe to the notification types:

1. Open a REST client or any other application that allows posting a request to the following exposed OData services:

   • To subscribe to a user decision type step, post a request to the following URL:

     http://<Host name:port>/sap/opu/sdata/sap/wfdecisiontaskprocessing/SubscriptionCollection

   • To subscribe to an activity type step, post a request to the following URL:

     http://<Host name:port>/sap/opu/sdata/sap/wfactivitytaskprocessing/SubscriptionCollection

2. Add a request header including the field name X-Requested-With with the value XMLHttpRequest.

3. Add login details.

4. Add the request body, using the following code as example:

   <atom:entry xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
   <atom:id></atom:id>
   <atom:title>Subscription for workflow</atom:title>
   <atom:author/>
   <atom:updated></atom:updated>
   <atom:content type="application/xml">
   <m:properties xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata" 
   xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices">
   <d:deliveryAddress>http://<server>:<port>/additional directory/</d:deliveryAddress>
   <d:collection>WorkflowTaskCollection</d:collection>
   <d:select>*</d:select>
   <d:filter></d:filter>
   </m:properties>
   </atom:content>
   </atom:entry>
    

   Note

   The main editable fields in the code are:

   • Delivery address

     Note

     The Delivery address must be the same address as that used in the creating a type G RFC destination process. If the address is different, the notification is not sent to the user.
