Process documentationWorkflow Set-Up

 

You use this process to define the mandatory Customizing settings that are needed to enable SAP Business Workflow for the change request process in Master Data Governance.

Prerequisites

You have defined the necessary settings for SAP Business Workflow and defined the organizational plan in Customizing under Start of the navigation path SAP NetWeaver Next navigation step Application Server Next navigation step Business Management Next navigation step SAP Business Workflow End of the navigation path.

Process

  1. The workflow system user (typically WF-BATCH) processes background tasks of MDG. Therefore, this user needs to have the required MDG authorizations. Assign the PFCG role SAP_MDG_WF_ADM to the workflow system user in transaction SU01. For more information, see SAP Note 1650993Information published on SAP site.

  2. Create event type linkages for the business object BUS2250 (MDG Change Request) as described in Customizing activity Activate Type Linkage under Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling Next navigation step Workflow End of the navigation path.

  3. To assign processors to change request types and change request steps, decide on the possible agents of the MDG workflow tasks in general. In Customizing activity Configure Workflow Tasks under Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling Next navigation step Workflow End of the navigation path assign specific agents from your organizational plan to each dialog task. In the attributes pop-up of each dialog task, select to whom processors may forward a respective work item. Instead of assigning specific possible agents to a dialog task, you can also classify a dialog task as general task, so that a work item can be executed by any user. All users in the list of possible agents that are also assigned as processors of a change request step, are selected as the agents at runtime and will receive the work item. Make the settings for all dialog tasks of the application component CA-MDG-AF and the respective components of the MDG application that you use.

    Note Note

    If you assign a processor to a change request step that is not assigned as possible agent, the workflow will end in an error at runtime unless you have classified the task as general task.

    End of the note.
