Customising Universal Worklist

Hello All,
I am attempting to customize the Universal Worklist for MSS. There are various buttons such as 'Launch Web Dynpro' , 'Resubmit', 'Forward' and 'Assign to me' that appears for the manager when authorizing a leave request.
Any Ideas on how I remove these buttons?
Many Thanks,
Nick

hi,
If you want to customise the UWL then, first you have to make a copy of the UWL iviews from Content Administration >Portal Content > Content Provided by SAP >End User Content >
Standard Portal Users >iViews > Universal Worklist.
From there you have select the iviews, copy it to your own folder , say 'Custom'. Apply the changes over there. Now Create an workset, set the entry points of the ivews and workset to true. Now create a role. Assign the workset to the role. Add the role to the user. Hence you can personalise your universal worklist.The below given link will explain all in detail:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/57/c223be82104792a15c2df11377b9ed/frameset.htm]
However to customise, you have to make the changes in the folder Content Provided by SAP itself, and then apply it. However this is not desired, since all the users added to the Enduser and Standard user role will be affected. For further information look into the file:

Universal Work List for ESS

Hi Experts,
I cannot see UWL for Employee Self-Service role where as under Manager Self-Service I can see it. Do we have to add the page manually or it will be done from backend.
ESS/MSS Version is 1.41.
Please throw some light on this.

Universal Worklist task restrictions for ECC transactions

All,
We are on NW04 and have recently implemented the Universal Worklist (UWL) and have limited our tasks displayed to just two tasks as specified below as mentioned in thread: UWL restrict list of tasks to display .
supportedItemTypes="uwl.task.webflow.TS21300098, uwl.task.webflow.TS90700186"
These are both Web Dynpro java tasks (and configuerd in the Visualization SWFVISU) and this works as expected. We would now like to add a new task which is not web dynpro. It is a dailog task to an ECC transaction. If I add the task to the string of supported item types, it does not appear. If I remove the restrictions and change the supporteditemtypes parameter back to "uwl.task", then the new task appears and executes correctly.
Can anyone assist with getting the transaction task to be a supported item type? Do I need to add visualization for this task? If so, what is the visualization type? The options in the drop down in SWFVISU do not seem to apply.
By the way, the approval task I'm adding is delivered task TS40007901 for approval of the CATS Timesheet.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
-Jeff-

You can call also pages using the IViewLauncher.
        <Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction="" handler="IViewLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="iview" value="ROLES://portal_content/Fresenius/kabi_nl/Iviews/ESS/Zeitmanagement/com.fresenius.Abwesenheitsmitteilung"/>
            <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
            <Property name="DynamicParameter" value="wi_id=${item.externalId}"/>
            <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
            <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
          </Properties>
But why would you want to have the navigation too in a new window ?
That would confuse me as a user to have 2 navigations in 2 windows.
The problem with UWL in general (using a popup) is that after you are finished in the popup,
the task is still there. I get lots of complaints; waiting for EhP3 or 7.3. There should be a instant refresh UWL feature.....

Kai

Developing Third Party Connectors for the Universal Worklist

Hi,
We need to develop a third party connector for the Universal worklist.
In order to retrieve the workflow items we want to use a web service that will be developed according our needs.
The documentation that I found regarding the UWL states that in terms of connectivity we can use Web based protocols such as HTTP and Web Services, but i couldn't find any example for this, besides the SONIC.
Has someone already developed a third party connector? Examples?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
José

Universal Worklist items open in new window instead of existing frame

After our recent upgrade we noticed that workitems in Universal Worklist open in new window instead of existing frame. Do you know if there is a system or universal setting to make all the workitems open in existing frame? I know we can change the settings for parameters launchInNewWindow and openInNewWindow to "no" in XML files to fix this.   However, my concern is that I would need to do this for each and every task we use. (still doable but wondering if there is simpler solution)
Example:
    <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS12300097.SAP_R3_CUSTOM_DEV" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="default">
      <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_R3_CUSTOM_DEV" externalType="TS12300097" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
      <Actions>
        <Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction="" handler="SAPWebDynproLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="WebDynproApplication" value="LeaveRequestApprover"/>
            <Property name="WebDynproDeployableObject" value="sap.com/ess~lea"/>
            <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
            <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
            <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default=""/>
        </Action>
      </Actions>
    </ItemType>

We downloaded uwl.standard.xml from UWL admin. Made a copy and renamed file. Changed all "launchInNewWindow" from "yes" to "no". Uploaded new file in UWL admin. Re-registered systems, cleared cache. Not sure what exact line changed the behavior but the workitems no longer open in new window.
We are still experimenting with file in our sandbox environment.

UWL Customisation for ESS/MSS

Hi,
We are using ESS/MSS mySAP ERP 2005 on EP7.0, ECC6.0. I ma running into some issues.
1) By default the tabs displayed in the Portal UWL are Alerts, Tasks,Notifications, Tracking. I want the Tasks to come up before Alerts. For this I tried Navigating to System Admin -> System Configuration -> Universal Worklist & Workflow -> Click to Configure Item Types and Customize Views Using a Wizard -> Customize the look of the UWL main page -> Next -> But the page does not have any dropdown.
Is this change to be done directly in the XML itself??.
2) I would also like to remove the "You may also" section and "Resubmit" button which appears in Portal UWL. Is there a way to achive this??
[UWL Screenshot|http://img229.imageshack.us/my.php?image=uwlvc3.png]
Help/suggestions will be appreciated.
Chintan

Nikhil,
Yes I was able to do this by editing the XML configuration and reversing the order for Tasks and Alerts in the XML.

Business Workflow, CATS and Universal Worklist

Hi,
I've been searching the forums for answers, but haven't found any.. So here's a question.
We are going to implement worklow for approving time. We are using MSS/ESS, and the approval will occur in the universal worklist.
As far as we can see, we have to do the following settings (and please correct me if I'm wrong):
1) Add a workflow <b>standardtask</b> in the transaction CAC1.
Question to number 1)
- Is it correct that this has to be a standardtask? Multisteptask are not allowed?
- Is it correct that the standardtask has to be executed in the front (and not as a background task)?
2) Add the step in transaction SWFVISU
We have to make a two-step approval scenario (first approver is 2 people in the personelladministration department. The second approver is the line manager for the employee). As far as I can se there's no standard solution for this. And we are trying to figure out how to solve this. One scenario we though about was to execute a multisteptask <i>from</i> the standardtask in CAC1. But if the standardtask in CAC1 has to be executed in the front, we can't trigger a multisteptask in the background as we thought. So now we don't know how to trigger the next step in the flow after the first approval step.
anyone that has done this?

Hi Gene,
basically you have to create a UWL system. UWL systems are different from normal system objects in SAP NetWeaver Portal. Normal system objects are used to establish a connection to backend system that can be used by many iViews etc. UWL systems are based on normal system objects (you actually have to specify a system alias when creating a UWL systems). You use UWL systems to bind a UWL connector to a system object.
Find detailed information on the UWL configuration in the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a3461636-0301-0010-3787-978f5ac8bd45">UWL How to guide.</a>There you will find step-by-step instruction how to integrate SAP Business Workflow into the UWL.

Java Web DynPro and Universal Worklist Interaction

HI ESS/MSS Gurus,
Good day!
I am a workflow consultant who is working on an ESS/MSS project. I have already completed and tested (successfully) all of the workflows needed in the backend using the PTARQ and PTCOR applications. We are also successful in showing the work items in the universal worklist.
Now the question is, whenever we click on the work item, we encounter an error in the portal. Now, I need to determine the following:
1. How are we going to integrate the ESS/MSS portal with the execution of the work item in the universal worklist?
2. Do we need to develop custom Java web dynpro applications for the approval process of the leaves, or is there a standard offering from the ESS/MSS packages?
Your inputs are very much welcome.
Regards,

Hi Gurus,
Here is what we have done so far:
1. Implemented the details as indicated in note 779075 and changed the parameters defined in SWFVISU
2. Upon re-registering and clearing the cache from the UWL, we tested if the task will call the standard application for leave request approval. It returns the error Internal error. :
Item is null for action acknowledge, and for item type uwl
It seems that the xmls files are not being generated or read successfully. although when we check uwl.webflow.SAP_ECC_HumanResources, there is an updated xml file for the task
Questions are:
1. What checks do we need to execute between the back end, UWL and portal?
2. Whenever changes in SWFVISU are made, what items do we need to check to ensure that the changes are reflected in the UWL? I have read that SWFVISU helps the user do away with the tedious xml creation. How can we verify that the changes are implemented/updated in the xmls generated?
3. Any other items we need to look into?
Regards,
