Extended Notification; General Settings SAPLOGON_ID
Hi Everyone!
We are planning to administer the extended notifications just by using the view cluster. We want to define the SAP GUI for Windows as the SAP GUI to use to display or execute work items in the Subscription Settings view.
The SAP Library says that <b>'you should specify a cross-company, unique LOGON_ID for the parameter SAPLOGON_ID in the General Settings view: Otherwise the system displays a logon window when the user navigates from a message to an SAP System'</b>.
I think this is my error. I really don't know what to put in SAPLOGON_ID parameter. How will I get this unique ID.
Thanks in advance.

Reymar
Hi Reymar / Vhong,
You can check what the default client is by just starting SAP. A client is predefined. If you need to change it before logon then you could ask basis to set the correct one. I think it is a system parameter, but they should know.
I couldn't say if you could set anything in the extended notification, because I am not that familiar with it, but I would expect it sets the client it is run from in the short-cut. If not it could be bug and you should check OSS.

Martin

Extended Notifications - Filter Settings
Hi, could someone please teach me how I could include a list of tasks for the filters in filter settings? I noticed that there is a limitation of 14 characters only and I couldn't create more than one parameter "Task".
Thanks,
Yen LiHello,
You can add more task simply creating new entries and adding 1 to the index field. I mean you can have several task as follow:
Parameter-Index-Value
TASK-0000-TS90000001
TASK-0001-TS90000002
TASK-0002-TS90000003...
Hope it helps.

CheersHi Eric
I have the same problem. What did you enter for the parameter SAPLOGON_ID? What is the text designation of the system?
Much appreciate an answer!

How do I delete a notification of a Software Update from a 3G IPhone. It shows up in my General Settings and I do not know how to delete it. It is for the 3Gs IPHone.

Hi All,
I need to know what does the following mean? In extended notification we have category. One value in category is 'STANDARD' and other are 2 Zvalues. ZCONSOLIDATED and ZINSTANTLY. But when I double click on them, i can see no difference between zconsolitaed and zinstantly in categorie..
Description Standard Category
Requested Reliability Undefined.
Collective Message Description Standard Category
Requested Reliability
Collective Message grouping with other categorie permitted
Notification Priority medium
Description Zconsolidated
Requested Reliability Undefined
Collective Message grouping within same category permitted
Notification Priority high
Description zinstantly
Requested Reliability undefined
Collective Message grouping within same category permitted
Notification Priority high
Now my questions. What are these? And what is standard for? And why are Z made.
Thanks,
Manoj.Further to this what is general settings on notifications. Any links or documents for details on this?

Extended Notifications - Workflow Inbox link not working
Hi,
I have configured SWNCONFIG to send Extended Notifications. E-mails are being sent but the link for Workflow Inbox (configured in Subscription Settings - SHOW_INBOX_AS = LINK1) only takes to the enterprise portal home page not the inbox. I have search to have this fixed but with no luck. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.I have follow the configuration in this links:
Configuring Notifications (View Cluster) (SAP Library - Embedded Processes (SAP Business Workflow))
Subscription (SAP Library - Embedded Processes (SAP Business Workflow))
It does not refer any specific link to the inbox. Only to activate the service: default_host → sap → bc → workflow → shortcut
And to use SHOW_INBOX_AS = LINK1 and define the portal url in parameter WG_HOST in General Settings. In addition the url while navigating in the portal is always the same (e.g either on the home page or in the workflow inbox), so I guess its the system job to re-direct to the Workflow Inbox, but this does not seem to be happening for some reason. -
Extended Notifications: how to change the URL link
Hello,
We are on ECC6. We use Extended Notifications to alert users to the presence of new workitems, but when they click on the link to execute the workitem, they're presented with the login screen.
We have been able to send emails from workflow which contain a link that does not ask for a login so I know which URL to use. The problem is, how can you set the URL in Extended Notifications? How does it decide which URL to use? I've tried changing a few General Settings in SWNCONFIG, none of them made a difference.
Any hints, tips, suggestions would be appreciated.
regards
Rick Bakker
Hanabi TechnologyHi Rick,
I wrote my own notification handler to solved an link issue (wanted to point to a specific iView url). I changed the notification handler via Category and double clicking on the category:
Scenario WORKFLOW
Category ZCATEGORY
Description Adobe Administrator
Requested Reliability 0 Undefined
Collective Message A Grouping with Othe
Notification Priority 5 Medium
Delete After Send
Category Handler CL_SWN_CATEGORY
Notification Handler ZCL_SWN_NOTIF_WF
Handler for User CL_SWN_USER_STD
Have a look at some of the methods:
LOAD_INSTANCE_WA
ADD_LINKS_ACTION
ADD_LINK_ACTION_DISPLAY
ADD_LINK_ACTION_EXECUTE
ADD_LINK_ACTION_DECISION
CREATE_ACTION_ATTACHMENT
CREATE_INBOX_ATTACHMENT
Hope it helps you understand how the link is created. -
Extended Notifications for UWL
Hi gurus,
I am trying to configure extended notifications to work with UWL. Problem is the notifications are not saved or sent by SWN_SELSEN.
Our SAP system is Netweaver 7.0 EhP 1.
I followed instructions found here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/ad/d64842d59fb430e10000000a155106/content.htm
However, we already had configured the workflow to use extended notifications with SAPGUI. So when I ran SWN_SELSEN, the old notification still showed up, but not the UWL version. So I deleted the schedule for the old configuration, thinking there might be interference. Again I created a work item and ran SWN_SELSEN, this time no notifications saved or sent. I found that I could run RSWNUWLSEL and the notification is saved, but not sent.
Any idea what the problem might be?
Also I noticed that in the Worflow Book (2nd ed.) it shows to update the General Settings in SWNCONFIG with a url for the UWL. But I don't see that instruction in the SAP Help? Do I still need to do that? If so, is that url a portal quicklink to the UWL iView?
For what it's worth, here is what we are trying to accomplish:
1) the links in the email should take the user to the UWL, not SAPGUI
2) for a user decision, currently the user has to login with their backend system password, which may not be the same as their network password; I'm assuming that if the links now go to the UWL, it will require the user's portal id/password - which is synchronized with their network password, and that is what we want.
So if just putting the UWL url in the general settings will do the job, then why do I need all that stuff in the SAP Help (RSWNUWLSEL, etc.) anyway?
Any enlightenment would be appreciated!
Thanks,
MargaretHi ysr,
It sounds like you are asking two different questions ...
1) does using extended notifications necessarily require use of portal / UWL?
answer: No. In fact out of the box, (in our system which is 7.0 EhP1), extended notifications will generate links that go to webgui (SAPGUI for HTML) or SAPGUI. To make it work for portal is what my question is about.
2) you want to 'send the hyper link in the mails to clients'.
answer: if by clients, you mean users outside your system, you will have to do something other than out-of-the-box. Normally with workflow, execution of the links embedded n the email will require the person to have a logon to the SAP system. Perhaps if you have clients with access to the portal but not the backend, it might work if you configure extended notifications to work with UWL. The client would have to have the UWL role in the portal but obviously without backend access, they would not be executing anything on your SAP system, right? But for displaying information to them that might be useful.
of course another route would be to code completely custom methods to send the email which would include constructed links going wherever you want ... but that would be a lot of work! (and out of the realm of SAP Business Workflow)
Hope that helps!

Dear Expert,
I also have a question regarding to the Extended notifications link.
My customer want to use the Extended notifications link with subscription parameter email as HTML, one msg per category and including HTTP link to open SBWP in SAPGUI for windows.
The problem is, that if saplogon is configured with group/server selection instead of an ordinary user specific application server entry, the link to the inbox received in the mail does not work. We get
an error: "Logon to SAP System faild. The system description '1. RPR [ERP Production system]' cannot be found in the system list. Make sure that saplogon.ini exists and choose an existing system description in the system list.
My customer has changed the parameter "logon_id" in trx. SWNADMIN so now the
field "System Description" is correct filled when he accept the error message - but still the link does not end up in the small logon window.
Could you provide some suggestion?
Many thanks,
Perry SongHi,
Can you check the general settings in SWNCONFIG.
Please check the below entries for general settings.

Extended notifications and UWL
Hi Friends,
I am using Extended notifications for sending notifications to lotus notes. In the notification we can maintain shortcut to open the workitem in SAP GUI. But the users use only UWL to access work items.So Is there any way to maintain the link to be directed to the work item in UWL, is there a way of changing this email icon link to point at the portal rather than sap gui. Please clarify.
I heared that this can be maintained in General settings in SWNCONFIG, if so will this be a generic link to access the work list instead of specific workflow task?Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply. I tried to mention the UWL link in SWNCONFIG -> General Settings -> INBOX_LINK_URL and i am getting this is in notification. But i would like to know is there any way to dynamically generate the link along with the task id or work item id so that upon clicking the link the user can open the work item in UWL directly. Please let me know if this is possible or not. -
Hi,
We have implemented performance management and implemented extended notification using UWL to get outlook email. Every thing is working fine the only problem is - whenever we get an email the FROM person is the person who has configured the system. Ideally the FROM person in the email is the one who has generated the task.
Please let me know what kind of changes we need to make to fix this so that the person who has created the task will be used in the FROM of the emial
Thanks,Hi,
Check from the requestor if it just enough to schedule the SWN_SELSEN report (that is sending the emails) to be executed for example by the WF-BATCH user. This is a really common scenario what I've seen. Give some nice name (such as "SAP Workflow System" for this system user, and your emails will look already better with 5 minutes work.
If you really want the work item creator as the sender, I don't think that it will be straightforward. Maybe you can do something in SWNCONFIG General settings (SENDER_NAME_INT, SENDER_ADDR_INT, etc.), and doing some kind of custom handler? Not sure about this. Just one thing to pay attention: some of your work items might be technically created by the WF-BATCH user. Then your emails will have this sender in any case.

Extended Notification for UWL + Change the description of task/workitem
Hi,
I have implemented the Extended notification for UWL and I am getting the emails in outlook. Now the requirement is to customize the body of the email completely for the task '12300096'.
I have tried going to PFTC->Description but it does not have full text which I am getting in the email. I tried SE63 also. But in the email I am getting
The following work item requires processing in your SAP Workflow inbox in system xxx.
<Task description>
Log on to this system and process the work item.
If you have problems logging on to the system, contact your system administrator.
Now I want to remove the following lines;
The following work item requires processing in your SAP Workflow inbox in system xxx.
Log on to this system and process the work item.
If you have problems logging on to the system, contact your system administrator.
I don't find from where it's coming - please let me know how to remove these lines so that I can add my text in SE63.
Thanks,Hi,
Go to SWNCONFIG -> General settings.
There you have TEXT_GOTO_INBOX - DTSWN_MSG_GOTO_INBOX. (I am not sure if this was the correct one, but you should check all the texts in general settings, if this was not the correct one.)
Now open dialog text SWN_MSG_GOTO_INBOX in SE61 (you see that you need to remove the prefix DT from the name). Here is your text. You can make your own Z-version of a dialog text in SE61, and then use that in SWNCONFIG general settings.

Issue with Chinese Translations not picked up in Extended Notifications
All Gurus,
We are on ECC 6.0 with the below settings.
SAP_BASIS 700 0015 SAPKB70015 SAP Basis Component
SAP_ABA 700 0015 SAPKA70015 Cross-Application Component
We have been using Extended Notifications for quite some time and it's working fine in EN. We now are working on generating the Outlook mails in Chinese Language. In these, there are some std. SAP texts (as mentioned in "General Settings" in transaction SWNCONFIG) are not getting picked up even though the corresponding Chinese translation exists. Specifically, the EN text
"The following new work items require processing XXXXXXXX" corresponds to Dialog text "SWN_PROLOG_MULTI" maintained for parameter "TEXT_PROLOG_MULTI" in General settings.
When the Outlook mail is generated in Chinese, the corresponding Chinese text is not getting picked up and says "Text Not Found". Similar issue existed for some other Dialog texts maintained for parameters "TEXT_GOTO_WI" and "TEXT_CONTACT_ADMIN" for which SAP suggested new Notes 1661893 and 1661894. For these texts, once Chinese text is maintained in SE63, its getting picked up in the Outlook mail.
Has anybody faced similar issue with Chinese translations in Extend.Notif ? If yes, please let me know how to fix this issue.
Also, anybody knows the message / Dialog text # for the text "Execute Work item.SAP" in the Link that is attached to the Outlook mail ?. Please tell me how to maintain the Chinese text for this EN text.
Timely reply is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance & Regards,
venuAll,
SAP provided the translations in the Notes 1675156 & 1675157 and it resolved both the issues mentioned. Also, the "Execute Work Item.SAP" link is picked up from the Text Elements of the class "CL_SWN_NOTIF_WORKFLOW".
As the issue is resolved, i'm closing this thread.
Thanks

SWNCONFIG - Doubt in Extended Notifications
Hi Experts,
I followed this blog to send work items to the outlook.
/people/saujanya.gn/blog/2006/12/19/how-to-get-work-items-your-outlook-inbox
In SWNCONFIG -> General Settings -> WD_HOST, there is a option to embed the webdynpro application.
whats the use of that? so we can design the webdynpro application and this webdynpro screen will reflected in the
outlook?
Please give your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
Vijay.It depends on your scenario. Let's say that you have travel expense approval tasks to be approved. Then you also have a web dynpro application for approving those travel expenses. It is possible to configure extended notification in a way that when you click the link in the email, the approval application will be launched. I have never done this, and I am not sure, if it will work easily or not. You can find some discussions in SDN by searching with the key word "WD_HOST". Check for example this: Extended Notifcations not sent
BUT it is not possible to just build some kind of general WD application to execute any approval task (or well, of course it is , but it would be quite difficult).

Karri
