Defining the Web Server

You must define the Web server to enable your workflow to receive XML messages (for example, XML response documents).

The SAP Web Application Server (SAP Web AS) must be installed as well to enable your SAP System to react to XML documents and XML response documents appropriately.

1. Choose  Tools  Business Workflow  Development  Administration  Basic Settings  WebFlow  Customizing Web Server .

2. On the screen Customizing Web Server: Change, enter the address of your Web server and, if applicable, the port number.

3. Optionally, you can enter another service. As standard, the service is used when using the SAP Web AS.

If you want to test the WebFlow in your SAP System A and the starting of a Business Workflow in another SAP System B, you require the system architecture below:

To check the prerequisites for the test, execute the following steps:

1. Check whether the release of the ITS installed on SAP System B is 4.6C or higher.

2. If necessary, check if the service WF_HANDLER is available on the SAP ITS of the SAP System B. The WORKFLOW_XML service must be available on the SAP Web AS.

3. The user used for the service logon must exist in the SAP System.

   • When a SAP ITS is involved, this user is defined in the global service directory for the SAP ITS or in the service WF_HANDLER. You can display the service in the Object Navigator (transaction SE80).

   • This user is defined in the basic data of the WORKFLOW_XML service for the SAP Web AS. You can display these by calling the Maintenance of Services (transaction SICF) and by choosing the  default_host  sap  bc  workflow_xml  entry there by double-clicking.

4. The user defined must be authorized to store documents in the Business Document Service (BDS).

5. The user defined in SAP System B must be one of the possible agents of the workflow to be started.

The URL required in a Web activity is created with the Web server defined here, as soon as the indicator Wait for Feedback is set.
