I've created a SAP Build Process Automation Process (i.e. a Workflow), with a Trigger of type 'API Call'. I need to figure out how to call it. I can't find SAP tutorials about exactly this, but I've pieced together some stuff from various blogs etc. including some 'official SAP blogs'. They all have a crucial step to find the Definition ID in the 'Monitor->Manage' section (the UIs in the blogs might look slightly different than my UI, but I believe that's due to version differences). All the blogs show the Definition ID being in a section 'Processes and Workflows' (screenshot below from one of these blogs). However, when I go to 'Monitoring' (in my version of BPA, this shows sections and tiles, screenshot below), under the 'Manage' section I don't have a 'Processes And Workflows' tile.
If I'm going to the wrong place, I'd appreciate that info. If the reason the tile isn't showing up is because I missed some step or some role or permission assignment or something like that, I'd appreciate that info. Really any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
