BPM OData Service for Accessing BPM Task Data
With the help of the BPM OData service you can easily implement a custom UI with remote access to BPM task data and operations on the task.
The BPM OData service enables you to do the following:
- Access the BPM task input, output, and fault data
- Complete a BPM task
- Complete a BPM task with fault data
The BPM Task Data OData service (taskdata.svc) can be used for all operations mentioned in the list.
In addition to the SAP_BPM_ODATA role, you need the necessary permissions for specific task operations. For example, a task can only be completed by its owner. Therefore, the task must be claimed before it can be completed, for example, with the OData service for accessing BPM tasks.
For more information about BPM roles and task owners, see Authorizations and Roles and Defining Task Owners.
In SAP NetWeaver 7.3 EHP1 SP10 and lower you must be assigned the following roles to be able to access task data with the BPM OData service:
- BPEM End User
- UnifiedInboxUserRole
