SAP Dialog for Automation Engine

The SAP Dialog for AE is a graphical interface for SAP R/3 users and serves to trigger processing in the AE system. SAP-defined tasks are transferred to the AE system via the CallAPI for SAP.

The transaction "/sbb/uc4dc" shows the end user's interface. It contains an overview of tasks. Users see only tasks for which they have authorizations. Tasks can be grouped in classes and named accordingly. Click the list to select them. Depending on the specified settings, you can query variables and attributes or maintain variants. Each task activation is logged in the statistics.

Activation by entering freely definable attributes

Attributes are freely definable and can be transferred to AE using :PUT_READ_BUFFER .

Direct connection to standard variant maintenance

A direct connection to SAP's variant maintenance is provided if standard ABAPs are used. Only predefined variants can be maintained.

Mapping Workflows

Workflows can be mapped using variables. In doing so, you can decide which components of a predefined procedure should be processed. Communication to the AE workflow is exclusively made by setting variables.

Statistics and status tracing

Users have statistics in which all activations can be traced. Tasks can explicitly be canceled or current states be adjusted.

The SAP Dialog for AE cannot completely replace the UserInterface. It supports users who exclusively work with the SAP GUI and whose background tasks (jobs, JobPlans) should be controlled by AE from within SAP.

The SAP Dialog for AE is a consultant solution and not part of the product. Thus, it is not maintained.
