Procedure documentation Applying a Typical Voice-Development Workflow  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

A typical workflow for creating voice-enabled applications using the Visual Composer Voice Kit can help you organize your workflow procedures to increase productivity.

The functions and options of the Visual Composer support your workflow process.

More information: Modeling Composite Views with Visual Composer 

Prerequisites

Based on the requirements for the application, you have defined:

      What data services, such as BAPIs or Web services, you need

The procedures involved in calling data services use Visual Composer functions.

      What NetWeaver Voice models or Voice Components you want to use

Voice Components are reusable. It may be more efficient to integrate available components rather than to develop new ones. Also, it helps to plan the overall structure of your voice application before you start. This could be the case if you want to implement some functions as components rather than having to model these functions at the application level.

      What back-end systems you require

You must have an ID and password to access selected back-end systems.

For more information on these design aspects, refer to Voice Application Design.

Procedure

The sequence of the following steps is typical, not mandatory.

1. Configure Your Application

...

       1.      Using the Visual Composer Storyboard, make your first-time application settings.

This sets the values required for successful compilation and deployment, as well as the defaults that apply throughout the application.

       2.      Define entities that apply as defaults over the entire application.

A default set of such entities is defined when you create a voice application.

       3.      Maintain critical settings, such as the gateway driver and resource target default values.

2. Create a Model of Your Application

...

       1.      Locate the data services that you want to use.

       2.      Design and configure the logic and flow of the component elements.

3. Deploy and Debug Your Application

...

       1.      Compile the application to validate it (optional).

This function provides some quick compilation-error checking and validation without actual deployment.

       2.      Deploy the voice application.

This will perform a more thorough error checking process and will then deploy the model if no errors are found.

Note

Deployment is considered an administrative task. Therefore, you should coordinate the deployment process with your administrator.

       3.      Check for error messages and correct the errors found.

The activities of the last call can provide information to determine whether functions in the model are working properly.
