SAP Workflow improvements – at last!

Good news for all Workflowers out there.

/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/workflower_759507.jpg

Because of the massive support for the SAP Customer Influence program by our group (thanks to Sue Keohan), I got a flurry of emails today about Workflow improvements that have been delivered. There are probably more – I didn’t sign up for all of them – but I thought I’d share these. Let us know if you received notification of any others.

***Edited to add some more (thanks to Ronen Weisz ) :

Adding additional functions for _WFSYST – for example ‘concatenate’,  this is still a workaround but a nice effort.

      Rick, I can't wait to get to my work email to see what other improvements have been decided on.

      There were 89 requests submitted... a few were out of the scope of the team we worked with... last I recall, about 30 were up for the final decision/implementation.

      Let's hear it for the SAP Customer Connection, and the power of the customer!!!

      Oh and Ronen Weisz actually is the one who pushed (and pushed, and pushed) to get this Customer Connection started - so kudos to him!

      Hi

      what are the implications of applying the note: 2188631 especially in the portal level UWL..?

      Just recently applied this note on our system, but it had a lot of dependent notes which also got installed. I didt apply the '2186821' not as well.

      ECC 6.0 EhP6
      SAP_BASIS 7.31
      SP-Level – 0009
      SAP_HRRXX – 604

      Thanks
