MDM 7,1 Portal Content

Question

I have configured MDM 7.1 Portal content and I am facing issuse that I do not have control on . For example if I edit an existing record and try saving the changes it saves and automatically creates a duplicate record.
If I try to duplicate a particular record , the result set and item detail iView keeps on refreshing ending up in a number of record getting created on the background. When I try to close a particular item details it just gets stuck and the item details and result set both start refreshing . The only option to get out of this situation is close the browser,
Now is this a bug that I will have to wait for SAP to fix or there is something we can do .

Hi,
Yes, I have configured UWL with MDM 7.1. The NextStep action button for triggering the workflow to next step is not displayed on its own. You have to change the UWL xml file in portal for displaying it.
Create a new action element in ItemType element( uwl.task.mdm.tasks.<SystemAliasName>), use the following code
        <Action name="WFNextStep" groupAction="no" handler="IViewLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="workflowTable" value="${item.workflowTable}"/>
            <Property name="iview" value="pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/specialist/com.sap.pct.mdm.appl.mdm_550/com.sap.pct.mdm.appl.iviews/com.sap.pct.mdm.appl.workflow.nextstep"/>
            <Property name="userId" value="${item.userNames}"/>
            <Property name="stepId" value="${item.stepId}"/>
            <Property name="systemId" value="${item.systemId}"/>
            <Property name="jobId" value="${item.jobId}"/>
          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default="Send to Next Step"/>
        </Action>
After this, the UWL iview will have a button named "Send to Next Step". On click of this button a page showing the next steps of workflow will open in new window. You can also configure it to open in the same window.
