Changing Object Selection in Guided Procedures(ESS)

Hi SDN,
How can I change object selection for a callable Object that has its source form a webDynpro application?
eg.
Per_Address_US (from package: com.sap.xss.hr.per.us.address)  to
Per_Address_IN (from package: com.sap.xss.hr.per.in.address)
Thanks,
Vamshi

  • How to change the name of (Guided procedure) GP Runtime View?

    Hello all!
    At Design time in GP (Guided Procedure), I have added a runtime view at the tab "Runtime Views" named Additional Resources to a GP process.  At runtime, when the process is started,  at the left bar appears the button "Additional Resources". Is there a way to change this name? Any idea can be helpfull :).
    Kindly Regards,
    Luiza

    Hi,
    an other solution is change the block property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_TYPE from "Table" to "Sub-query" , than change at run time the property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME.
    First create block and add items
    The QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME will be for ex. "Select 'A' as col1, 'B' AS col2, 'C' as col3 from dual"
    Set into items the column name property to col1 , col2 ...
    At run time change the query to "Select 'Z' as col1, 'X' as col2 , 'Y' as col3 from dual"
    in this way you can change the source of column value.
    Caution because if you change value type from varchar2 to date you must cast date into varchar2.
    May be that this way is valid only for view data not for insert-update, i don't remember.
    bye

  • Life work events and Guided Procedure

    Hi,
    We have installed ESS business package on EP7 portal and connected to ECC 6.0. We want to configure Life and Work Events (LWE). When a user clicks on Life and Work Events Tab > First Day, Marriage, Benefit for that matter any link on that page, It takes users to Folder selection page of guided procedure to select the process.
    The question is that is it suppose take a user to respective guided procedure as First Day or etc. rather than asking user to select the guided procedure process from folder.
    Thanks,
    Guest user

    If default configuration takes to actual process that make us feel we are missing something in configuration.
    Lakshmi, Do you have any clue as what is missing to be configured since it is taking us to folder selection page?
    Thanks for your help,

    Hi Sharan,
    This is Ram, i have been watching this Thread, and tried to solve this problem in the Web to one of my query which i have created for testing purpose.
    See dont have much knowledge on WAD, but as the main owner was doing in his case , i am also doint the same way :
    Ex: i created the query in the query designer and there i know each and very property how to supress the repeated key etc etc, and i know it even in the Web browzer.
    However what i do is i open the query and click on change query and my query is displayed in the query designer and from there you click on the check mark in the top left for executing the query, but insteard of that click on the icon which takes you to the BROWZER.
    I usually do like that, but what you told in WAD i did not understand it at all, so can you give me more steps on how to open that in WAD and make the settings please...
    Regards,

  • WebDynpro ABAP & Guided Procedures

    Can WebDynpro ABAP components be included as callable objects in a Guided Procedure within a portal?

    Hi Ryan,
    Yes, it is possible starting from NW2004s.
    When I go to Guided procedures -> Design Time, I see an option for ABAP webdynpro application under th menu Type.
    Another option would be to put the ABAP webdynpro inside an iview and use that iview from guided procedures.

  • How to enable disable result status of callable object in Guided Procedures

    hi,
    Currently we are using guided procedures to handle Life Event changes in ESS. Each process has sequential block with Respective actions and callable object assigned to each action.
    Most of the callable objects we are using are either standard Java Webdynpro screens that came with ESS business package or custom ABAP Webdynpro's. When we created callable objects with these web dynpro's there is tab that sets result status like "Complete", "Exit" etc.
    The issue we are currently facing with result status is, there is no way that control is passed to result status enabled for specific step of guided procedure from the callable object. For example we created callable object for Benefits enrollment screen with result status "Complete". When user initiated guided procedure to make changes to Benefits enrollment, make changes to plans and click save. Once User click Save we want to send control to result status to get enable, till then we don't want the "Complete" button to be enabled on the Guided procedure step.
    Is there way to control the result status button based on the action performed by user in respective screen/step of Guided Procedure?
    Could someone suggest is there better replacement for guided procedures where I can use some other framework/process to achieve better functionality than GP's.
    Thanks
    Ravi.

  • API for access of guided procedure from ABAP / WebDyn: change/read status

    Hallo together,
    I'm very new to guided procedure and have some questions about possible interaction between WebDynpro ABAP and Portal guided procedures (UWL ?)
    is it possible to access a guided procedure or their attributes from WebDynpro ABAP? What are the relevant key attributes (ID's) to do so?
    Is is possible to change the status of a guided procedures f.e. from "completed" to "ready" from outside, let say WebDynpro ABAP? for the purpose of a monitor for mgrs.
    - possible szenario is a manager says: "no, not well done" go back to start and do it again !
    - another szenario: guided procedure is "running" and should be set to "completed"
    Any hint will be helpfull
    Thanx very much in advance
    regards Hans

    Hi Hans,
    There is a good and a bad news regarding APIs for GP and ABAP Web Dynpro and GP:
    The good news is that you can find [here|http://help.sap.com/javadocs/nwce/current/gp/index.html] the APIs for GP.
    The bad news is that the cooperation capabilities between GP and ABAP Web Dynpro are restricted in a certain way. One can use a ABAP Web Dynpro in GP as callable object, but GP is only capable to transport parameter values from GP to the UI but not vice versa. In many cases one needs a solution where the ABAP Web Dynpro UI accepts user inputs and forwards them to the GP context. This is not supported.

  • Clean Job: Guided Procedures - Locked Objects & Background Action Process Q

    I opened this thread also in Portal Content Development thread,
    but I think its more useful here:
    Hi Experts,
    We are running several Workflows on our Portal, they often lock objects and use the background action processor queue.
    You can unlock these objectes manually by selection 'Unlock Objects' (which is below Guided Procedures - Administration)
    And you can delete the successfull processed action queues (Guided Procedures - Administration - Maintain Queues).
    Is it possible to this in a weekly running job? All objects should be unlocked, the queue should only be deleted for actions which where processed successfully and are older then a date.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks for any help,
    Chris

    Hi Sitarama,
    <br/>
    <br/>Thanks very much for your fast reply. Yes, the smartforms are custom-built. Besides the deadlock error, there still has some errors in SP01 says "Could not pass request to host spool system". But it previews wonderfully in SP01. The detailed SP01 error log is like below:
    Print request processing log
    Errors occurred processing this print request
    Error during print request output. l_rc = 99
    There may be no printout
    Most important attributes of spool request

    What do you mean parallel processing on table level? The smartforms extract data from different SAP tables and then transfer to smartform interface, then they can added in form pages. Do you think this results parallel processing towards tables?
    <br/>
    Thank you and hope to hear more from you.

  • ESS Guided Procedures My Firs Days link, GRANT POINTS!!!!

    Hi All,
    I have created a custom GP for the First Days in ESS and I have to replace existing First Days GP
    Area Page for Life and work Events contains links (eg First Days , Benefits etc)  First Days link trigger execution of GP, calling it by Process ID
    Question: Where in IMG, I configure that relation
    My First Days Link --- Guided Procedure Process ID?

    In continuation of my question...
    In order to use Life and Work Events application (For Non US)..
    I updated the process template id in resource definition in SPRO transaction.
    Earlier it was :
    URL Parameter : process.template.id=CECE64A19C8F11DAA5C1000E7FA67AEB&process.autostart=true (for US)
    now I have changed it to
    URL Parameter : process.template.id=CE140F51C11711D9824C000BCD45EE55&process.autostart=true (for non US)
    So now I guess I am actually picking up non US application..
    But now when I try to access application :
    Personal Data in My first days
    Family/member dependent
    I am getting below error :
    The following ABAP Exception occurred: SERVICEKEY_INVALID:

  • Is it possible to make changes on object selection area???

    Hi friends,
    I wanna ask a question about portal.
    When we connect to portal we choose corporate documents , there are files of departmants like hr, it, corporate general ...
    We want some changes in object selection area of these files. For example when we get into object selection area of IT there are objects like favorites, others, personel documents, common document, common documents.
    My question is
    Can we deduct or hide some of these objects from object selection area? If we can, how can we do it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    We can hide those options by implementing the Layoutsets. If you need to hide those options for standard admin user itself, then you need to change the standard Layoutsets, which is not recommended. These options are defined in the "Command Group" of the Layoutsets.
    You can Navigate to Layoutsets thru below path.
    Sys Admin -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management ->Content Management -> User Interface -> Settings -> Layoutset
    Tweaking over the Layoutset Command group properties will hide the options which you mentioned.
    Thanks,

  • ESS Workplace - Change Default Selection Period

    Hi All,
    We are on 4.6C, using Workplace 2.1.1 on ESS.
    Through ESS, we want to display all items under "SAP Office -> Outbox -> Started Workflows" (and also "Work Items Executed by Me").
    The default seems to be 30days.
    Our SAP Office (Workplace) on ESS does not have any buttons or toolbar options for users to change the "Selection Period".
    My question: Where is this default period set? How can I change it for ESS (eg to be 90 days instead of 30days)?
    Is there a setting in the IMG (SPRO)?
    Please, I really hope you can help.
    Cheers,

    Hi Tom,
    unfortunatelly this function is hard coded in BWSP, there is no option to change the date in customizing or somewhere else, only in coding:
           l_seldate = sy-datum - 30.
                CALL FUNCTION 'SWI_OUTBOX_CREATE'
                     EXPORTING
                          seldate      = l_seldate
                          folrg        = w1_fol
                     TABLES
                          worklist     = worklist
                  STATUSFILTER =
                     EXCEPTIONS
                          READ_FAILED  = 1
                          OTHERS       = 2
    The problem that BWSP is not developed in the future, what you can do is to change the standard... SAP does not recommend to do thatof course.
    I hope I could help you!

  • Callable object and Guided procedures

    Hi all,
    Where we use callable objects? i want to know about the basic of callable object and guided procedure?
    sorry if my question is very silly

    Hi again
    Callable objects can be many types, including applications (like web dynpro), services (e.g. web services), remote function modules, intercative and composite forms, etc.
    The GP framework comes with a set of ready-to-use COs that you can see when you open the Create Callable Object wizard. Here is a list of the so-called predefined COs in GP:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0f/619fd378a641b29386063019c24fc4/content.htm
    Since applications and services themselves are of various types, here is a link for creating COs of those types in GP design time:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/da/a680415dc6050de10000000a1550b0/content.htm
    You can also implement your own callable object type, but here you have to use the NW Developer Studio, apart from the GP worksets. Here is a link to give an overview:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/e74cb156b60a29e10000000a11466f/content.htm
    Finally, here is a document that gives general info about exposing applications as COs and links to various areas, connected to CO implementation and usage in GP:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/08/d88041a17e060de10000000a1550b0/content.htm

  • ESS Guided Procedures EXIT

    Hi,
    we are using ESS Travel Management Scenario with EP70 and Web dynpro with a ERP2005 HR Backend. (Create Travel Request/Expense etc)
    We are using a layout with detailed navigation on the left side.
    Our Problem is: Once a WD Guided Procedure (like Create Travel request) is started by the user, he cannot exit anymore. There is no BACK option or EXIT button or so.
    If the user clicks on the left side in the detailed navigation link, the portal starts another screen in a separate new window, as long as the guided procedure is there and active. But in the new window, the personal number is locked, of course.
    The only way to exit a guided procedure that is not finished, is to log off or to close the window.
    How can I give the user the option to exit the guided procedure properly?

    Hi Holger,
      This is because the GP is not releasing locks properly. There was a work around suggested, where in the forced lockproperty  is set to true in the GP iview that is used in the ESS.
    Regards,
    Sharadha
