There is a Business Workplace UI in WDA. The WDA Application is SWF_WORKPLACE. However it was only created for use in the NetWeaver Business Client when you use the PFCG backend. Otherwise you should continue to use the Universal Worklist from the Portal.

Hello,

You cannot put SAP GUI applications/transactions into a web dynpro component.

But you could build your own custom WD component. It isn't that hard to get the work items from your business workplace to be displayed in a custom application. Check the function modules GETINBOX (or there might be possibly something starting with SAP_WAPI* - SAP_WAPI-starting functions are the standard workflow API functions). Basically you just give for the function the user ID and it will return you the list of items the user is having in his business workplace. Then there are useful functions in SAP_WAPI* to for example display the work item description, etc.

I am not sure how you can get the notifications (="emails") from business workplace, but I would imagine that there is some function you can use similarly and it shouldn't be that hard.

Of course, if you have Portal, you should definately take UWL into account. With UWL you will already have a standard web-enabled workplace (it has basically all the same functionalitites as Business Workplace.) From UWL you can even launch the same SAP GUI transactions that you are currently launching from the tasks in workplace. It is purely an configuration issue.
