Hi,
I have just released a new BPM tutorial which describes how to develop a very very simple BPM process. The source code is published as well.
As a prerequisite you need:
- Sandbox/ Development System: SAP NetWeaver CE7.20 (incl. BPM usage type),
- SAP NWDS,
- administration user on the sandbox to create new users and to deploy a new dc,
The tutorial should be completed with approx. 60 minutes. At the end you will be able to run your first BPM process. In comparison to the tutorial in the SAP NWDS help you do not need any other system because the example process just uses pure CE features. Of course the tutorial is just a starting point but it should already give you an idea how to use/develop features like:
- Swim lanes
- Human activities
- Process repository
- Generating Web Dynpro UI's out of the BPM context
- Modeling a BPM process flow
- How to use the process composer
- How to do mapping between activities and the context
- How to create users and assign them to a swim lane
- How you build, deploy and execute a process
The demo process has just 2 swim lanes and 2 human activities. The following image gives you a overview of the process in BPMN:
At the end of the tutorial I give you some ideas how to enhance this example. The ideas are based on real life experience.
All the best
Steffen
