Examples of Generated Wf-XML Documents (SAP Library - Embedded Processes (SAP Business Workflow))

Examples of Generated Wf-XML Documents

This example is based on the following scenario. The Workflow WS00000000 runs in SAP System A, starts workflow WS99999999 in SAP System B and waits for feedback. The text test WebFlow is written into the import parameter Question for the workflow to be started. Once workflow WS99999999 is successfully executed, the export parameter Answer contains the text test successful. Both SAP Systems have a release status from 6.10.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

The following XML documents are created by the system.
