How to trigger a GP?

[Former Member]

Hello,

anyone an idea how to trigger a GuidedProcedure from VisualComposer?

The only requirement would be to pass the user-parameters for the GP: initiator, owner, etc...

Any hint?

Hi Kai,

It is possible to start a GP process from VC.

You should use GP API for starting and dealing with GP process. There is very detailed help here:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/index.htm

-->Starting and Terminating Processes Using the GP API

Once you implement the starting GP process you have to expose the implementation as Web service. Then you should create WS destination and call the service trough VC

I have done this several times and it works.

Wish you success.

Thanks Penka,

seems to work even with ApplicationServices built out of BusinessObjects.

You need to use the view "Component Properties" to add the specified dependencies,

and sync the DCs (generate -> build -> build yields to sync -> sync).

Thanks,

Kai
