Cannot open GP process task in universal worklist.

Question

Hi all,
    I cannot open GP process task in universal worklist.It says:"Could not retrieve process instance: contact your system administrator".But i can open the task in Runtime task.
i configure the universal worklist by following this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/ef06a7860c7061e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
I also create a simple GuidedProceduresConnector and doesn't change the xml file,but it doesn't work,either.
our portal is SP11.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you~!
Best regards

Hello Delma,
Check out SAP note  1104652.    It discusses some changes for the uwl configuration file.   I just did this on a local installation of CE and used the following XML for my GP actions.  I just uploaded a paper on this  - it should be on SDN within a couple of days and I can get you the link.  
The trick is that the name of your GP alias in UWL administration must be included in the XML.  The note explains this and there is an example to download.  Also, in my example the iView for the portal content to start the GP had to be changed - but that could be due to my local installation.
Check out this note and this XML and let me know if it helps.
Best regards
Ginger
