Workflow for Utilities: Configuration Guide

1 PurposeThis configuration guide provides the information you need to set up the configuration of this building block manually.

If you do not want to configure manually and prefer an automated installation process using eCATTs and BC Sets, use the Building Block Installation Assistant.

2 Preparation

2.1 Prerequisites

2.1.1 Building BlocksBefore you start installing this building block, you must install prerequisite building blocks. For more information, see the building block prerequisite matrix (Prerequisites_Matrix_[xx]_EN_ZH.xls; the placeholder [xx] depends on the SAP Best Practices version you use, e.g. UTL refers to the SAP Best Practices Utilities Package: Prerequisites_Matrix_UTL_EN_ZH.xls). This document can be found on the SAP Best Practices documentation DVD in the folder ..\BBLibrary\General\:

3.1 Business Workflow Standard Settings

UseThe purpose of this activity is to maintain workflow standard settings automatically. Checks are also performed to establish whether Customizing is complete with regard to further important settings. You can start an initial verification workflow.

Automatic Workflow Customizing does not cover maintenance of the organizational plan nor task-specific Customizing (assignment between tasks and possible agents and activation of triggering events - - this has to be done at scenario level).

Procedure1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:

SAP ECC menu Tools Business Workflow Development Utilities Automatic Workflow Customizing

Transaction Code SWU3

2. Choose Maintain Runtime Environment and choose Perform Automatic Workflow Customizing Choose a transport request. You can see which activities were performed in the log.

3. See whether the checks listed were all completed correctly. All the settings which were made and checked should now be marked in the result list of the check report with a green checkmark. If this is not the case, carry out the relevant IMG activity manually.
