Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to develop the following scenario and I am not sure if it's possible achieve.
Scenario:
1 - This scenario should be started by a webservice that will be created, this webservice have to receive data that will be used in the whole process.
2 - Use the data from the webservice to pre-fill the off-line adobe form and the e-mail of the external destinations.
3 - Send adobe form through e-mail to some external destinations.
4 - Receive response from adobe form through a webservice (instead of e-mail attachment in a dedicated mailbox).
5 - Call some RFC to persist data.
6 - Send e-mail back to the receivers to notify that document has been received.
I have already created the sample Process Development DC, the XSD and the XDP files. I have also put the XSD and XDP files into portal drive. Although the only way I can get it working is through receiving the response from the external destination through an email response. This will send the filled adobe form as an attachment into a dedicated mailbox. But I want to receive the response back via a webservice.
I was going through this slide deck (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a00b0dd5-36c8-2c10-5188-fcb9e5900114?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&46076409558399) and it states that following features will be implemented with future releases on page 7.
„Offline Form to instantiate a new process – (will be delivered with future releases)
„- Form is published for download or sent to one or several individuals.
„- The form submit calls BPM and triggers a process
„- Form data is exposed to the process context
„- The form could be reused several times
Not sure if these features were ever include in the future release?
