Hi Experts,
Want your suggestions and expertise for the possibility of using Duet Enterprise to integrate a SAP workflow with a lot of input fields other than the normal decisions and comment field we see in typical workflows. Can you please suggest if we can use Duet Enterprise workflow integration approach to integrate such workflows, wherein we can add additional fields in the task form and capture them back in the SAP workflow (possibly using inbound handlers).
As of now we have the decision buttons (Approve / Reject) and the comments field in the task form, can we create additional input fields (like comments) for the user to fill in and pass them back to SAP workflow with the task?
Appreciate your help on this.
Regards,
Avishek.
Hi Avishek,
the outgoing way can be achieved through usage of OutboundHandler; you have 2 options to expose the additional data: as XML data or as extended properties / XPROPS.
See my blog for more explanation on that.
Also for ingoing you can utilize a BAdI extension point / inbound handler. However, you are here limited to the available fields in the SAP workflow service invoked from SharePoint eventreceiver. Basically you only can use the comments field; and this has a restriction within the SAP side that it must fit in 255 chars. It is therefore not fit as placeholder for larger XML message; you must condense your additional workflow update details within this 255 string length.
