Execute Work Items with Outlook (WF)

Abapers, where i can find information about execute work items with outlook??
Can you suggest me some links?

Take a look at the documentation for report RSWUWFML or RSWUWFML2.
Or if you want a richer integration with Outlook, like e-mails disappearing when the work item is finished, then take a look at http://www.desktopworkplace.com.
Cheers,
Scott

Execute Work Item: Invalid Link (SWN155) for WD ABAP task ?

Dear all,
I have created a workflow task with WEBSERVICE object and configured task visualization with WD ABAP application.
When i am executing the work item through SAP Inbox , the application is triggering successfully.
But when the work item is transmitted to Outlook through Extended notifications configuration i am getting the error
Execute Work Item: Invalid Link (SWN155).
We have already implemented the 1381164 and 1164090 OSS notes.
We don't have UWL, the link need to be opened the WD application directly.
I am unable to find the error.
Please help to solve the issue.
Thanks,
Vamshi

Hi,
Have you checked OSS for possible fixes? It might that this was something that was clearly a bug, and not matter what you do, it will not work, unless you implement some fix.

In GP how to get work items in outlook inbox

Hi,
Any one can explain me how to send work items to Outlook Mail. This option is there in ABAP work flow. I need solution in GP.
Please give any sloution.
Thanks,
Sunil

Hi Jonathon,
in our last project, we faced the same problem and resolved it with a standard notification CO:
- we put a notification CO (+ action) in front of the action you mentioned (that one that generates the UWL's workitem and provides the CO for manual processing)
- the notification's addressee will be the current processor, who is also the guy to do the manual processing
- the notification email contains a link to the process' current workitem, which is the action you mentioned (e.g. a webdynpro form or whatever the manual processing is)
The result is, that there will be an automatically sent notification, followed by the normal manual processing. And our client was happy to be able to customize every single email.
See this link for email administration: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/f9097d1b607061e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm

Incorrect Link of Execute Work item in External Notification

Hello Experts,
I am working with the HCM Processes and Forms and used Standard Task TS17900101 in workflow, for Approve/Reject Forms.
Everything is working fine (form gets approved/rejected from UWL).
Now I configured, SWNCONFIG for sending the external notifications, and notifications are also being sent. But when pressing the "Execute Work Item" link from external inbox, I am getting the error:
===========================================================
"Service cannot be reached".
What has happened?
URL http://xyz.abc.com:1234/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/pa~asr~formstep/ApproveFormApp call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available.
===========================================================
Since, the task seems to be bound with Java web Dynpro application ApproveFormApp by looking at SWFVISU task visualization, Do I need to do any kind of addition in Services (SICF).
Or I am missing something in SWFCONFIG.
Kindly suggest asap.
Thanks & Regards,
Jimit Vadher

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the note number.
Let me tell you one more thing is, I have created customized Web Dynpro ABAP application, bound it with the newly created custom Task (for User decision), and used inside the Workflow.
So when I am sending the Notification of this custom task to External email, Correct link is being generated and working fine for agent.
But this is not working only for the standard task (TS17900101), I mentioned in my question above.
So still any service activation is pending? As per the Note, I checked ICF service and found it inactive.
Is activation required for ICF service, as custom notifications are already going & working fine.
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Jimit.

Execute Work Item: Invalid Link (SWN155)

Hi,
I am trying to configure Extended Notifications. I read and implemented the entries according to blog [/people/saujanya.gn/blog/2006/12/19/how-to-get-work-items-your-outlook-inbox|/people/saujanya.gn/blog/2006/12/19/how-to-get-work-items-your-outlook-inbox]. The problem is that I get a "Execute Work Item: Invalid Link (SWN155)" in my mails. My question is what I need to add to parameters INBOX_LINK_URL and WD_HOST to make this work. Please provide examples if you have a working scenario.
Thanks!

Hello Guys,
Can any one tell me how do I DEACTIVATE Schedule Background Job for Work Items with Errors in sap workflow SWU3.

Hello,
You could also just stop the job in tx SM37.
But why would you want to do this? As a test?

Repeats for work items with temporary errors for background WI

Hi!
I have a task that generates a temporary error method in order to activate the Repeats for work items with temporary errors. It currently has 5 repeats at intervals of 2 min. After running above the WI-status is 'Error'. When Restart by SWPR runs only once and sends the message 'Work item set to error following 05 failed attempts'.
Please can tell me any way that when run again relaunch fixed repetitions.
I welcome your comments.
Thanks.
Regards,
Raisme Wilhelm

Hi Raisme,
Please show me since it is the design of the workflow. It is probable that you are inside a repetitive sequence that send several work items.
Best Regards

FM to execute work items of non active substitutions.

Dear Experts
Greetings!
I have a requirement to execute work items for non active substitution from a report program.
I know the FM SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM or SWW_WI_EXECUTE to execute Workitems assign to me or my active substitutions.
I need to execute for non active substitution.
What is the way to do this, is there any FM?
Appreciate your help and valuable suggestions.
Many thanks and regards
Sandeep

You should use BADI
WF_BWP_SELECT_FILTER
To identify those workitem and then call the FM you have found to complete the workitem.
Thanks

Problem with executing work item from the inbox

Hello All,
I'm able to send mails from R/3 to Outlook along with the attachment to execute the work item directly from the outlook.
However upon clicking the Exectute work Item.sap file I get an sap gui popup with the description " Not all data for SAP GUI shortcut is available. System description and GUI start parameter are unknown. Entering the missing data."
Clicking on the OK button, leads to another window for SAP logon details. After I chose the right system and on Clicking OK, it opens up the logon prompt. Entering the logo info opens up the work item correctly.
We are on ECC 5.0 with SAP GUI 640 patch level 18 on it. Any suggestions about what am I missing to directly jump into an sap screen provided a session already is open in SAP.
Thanks and Regards
Uday

Hello Uday,
Sounds like something is wrong in the SAPLogon <i>on the client PC</i>. The system sends out a shortcut, and when it's opened it does not relate to a unique entry in the saplogon. Either it's called differently or you have two entries for the same system with different parameters.
Hope that helps,
Mike

Stop executing work item

Hi All,
When the work item is sent to substitute we need to check the level of substitute. if substitute is lower
level than original approver then substitute shouldn't execute the work item instead it should be forward to higher/same level of original approver. Please help me out with your suggestions.
Thanks,
Suman

Hello,
"but not able to stop executing the work item from deleted substitutee and his inbox is also not refershing immediately, if I close thebusiness work place and re open it again, I am not seeing the forwarded work item. This is working correctly but I want the work item to be deleted from substitute's inbox when I forward the work item to another substitute. Please help me with your suggestions."
This is just a problem with refreshing the inbox. It doesn't really matter because he won't be able to execute the workitem. The same thing would happen if he and someone else received a workitem and the other person executed it first. It's not a problem.
Is this UWL or SBWP?

Execute Work Item from CRM 5.0 IC Webclient

Hi all,
I'm using ICWebClient in CRM 5.0.
When I try to execute a work item in the ICWeb it displays a blank page in the work area (with a 0 on the upper left corner).
I've configured the transaction launcher ITS url as explained in the help (http://<server name and full domain>:<port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/CRM_CIC_RABOX/!)
I have activated all the ITS services and if I try to launch the webgui it works properly. Is there something missing? Has anybody any hints for me?
Thank you,
Daniele

I've found a solution.
I've been told that this problem is occuring
because the Work Item ID is not being passed correctly to the BOR basedtransaction.
The solution in my case is:
(1) Goto SPRO -> Customer Relationship Management -> IC Web Client ->
Basic Functions -> Transaction Launcher -> Configure Transaction
Launcher (wizard)
(2) Give the launch transaction id in the 'Entries' screen. The launch
transaction id is Z_ACTION_EXECUTE_WORKITEM in my case.
(3) Keep all the parameters same in the further screens until you reach
the 'Transaction Parameters' screen
(4) In this screen, the value currently being passed to Object Key is
//selectedAUI Workitem/WI_ID. Change this to
//selectedAUIWFWIAttachments/OBJECT_ID.
Goto last step and then say 'Complete'.
