Klappentext:

If you are an ABAP developer interested in the complex programming of SAP Business Workflow, this is the resource you need. You ll learn the aspects of the tools that are directly related to the developer s tasks, explaining when it is necessary to influence the behavior of SAP Business Workflow using custom code, and detailing how to write this code.
The author provides you with tutorials that grow increasingly detailed as the book progresses; they start off with a mix of both standard modeling using SAP Business Workflow and ABAP programming, and then graduate to pure programming. Having completed this book, you ll have learned all the exercises and tools you need to know.
Highlights:
- Workflow Engine
- Workflow runtime
- BOR and ABAP OO objects
- Containers, work conditions, and data flow
- Workflow patterns and tasks
- Methods, work items, and events
- Agent determination
- Event definition and implementation
- Workflow runtime system and log files
