Universal WorkList (UWL)

Hello all,
Wanted to verify a quick thing from you regarding the sub-views within the Tasks category in UWL. From my knowledge, if we want to have any particular sub-categories (sub-views) such as "Vacation Approvals", we have to code and define this category in XML and specify the Task IDs which go under this category. Please let me know if I am wrong.
Now, we have a situation where there is a completey new workflow created which involves a new Task ID. Say for example, "Training Approval". Since this Task ID is not defined yet in XML, where does the task item go? For this sub-category do we have to code the XML again, or is this sub-category created automatically in the UWL for the end-user.
Currently in the MDT and Business Workplace, sub-categories are created automatically and do not require any maintenance effort in terms of determining which tasks id go under which sub-category. Is it the same in UWL?
Really appreciate your assistance. Thanks!

hi
The Universal Worklist allows the administrators to override the standard task mappings to force a certain ITS template to be called for certain workflow tasks

SRM Integration in Universal Worklist (UWL)

Hi SRM freaks,
I've one question concerning SRM integration in Universal Worklist (UWL). Currently we have integrated our SAP SRM4.0(SRM_SERVER 500) solution in the SAP Enterprise Portal6.0, and after installation from an additional Business Package the system is working perfectly.
But we have one concern about UWL integration, the workitems which are send over eMail to the endusers are still containing ITS_DEST link which is defined in PPOMA. The following web link is pointing directly to SRM-EBP ITS link and not to the portal. Our idea would be to include a web link which is pointing to portal in order to access SRM-EBP content from there.
Can somebody help us on that topic !?
Thanks for your support.
Rafi

Rafi,
Hi. We are using SRM 5.5 and are intending on changing the ITS_DEST to run SRM through the portal.
That way any email links sent to the users always contain a link back to the Portal (which has our UWL configured).
I'm not too sure of the consequences of changing this attribute on release 500. Our system has an internal ITS - does yours?
Cheers
Rob

PO Approval Items Workitems are not removed from the Universal Worklist UWL

Hi,
Certain of our purchase orders require approval, they are sent to the relevant approver via workflow to their SAP inbox (SBWP) and universal worklist.
When the user executes the workitem (Approve or Reject) The workitem should be removed from the universal worklist and SBWP when refreshed.
The problem we experiencing is that the Workitems are not removed from the UWL after they have been executed. The SBWP is behaving correctly and the items are removed.
It is not all the workitems that have this problem, only certain ones - but there is no pattern.
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
The user B approved the PR accessing the transaction SBWP or via PR transaction directly?
If via PR transaction directly, then your workflow needs a Wait Event step.

Customizing of Universal Worklist (UWL) Preview

Hello,
i have to customize the UWL preview, that is shown in the portal for every work item below the list view.
The customization shall be done only for the current project, so there are only a few worksteps involved that should use the customized preview.
I already read the UWV configuration documentation, but i hav absolutely no clue how i can do the customization if it is possible at all.
What i have to achieve:
- remove Buttons from the workitem preview (e.g. forward)
- remove attributes from the workitem preview (e.g. priority)
- the configuration shall only be done for specific work items because other projects want to see the preview.
Can you please help or point me to some documentation/ guide?

Processing EIC follow up via the Universal Worklist (UWL)

Hi
We are implemented EIC (Employee Interationc Centre) ERP and have an issue whereby the follow up appears in both the agent inbox within EIC and the Universal Worklist. The workflow for follow up is WS61000086. How do we get the follow up to work from the UWL as well as the EIC agent inbox? At the moment if the user clicks on the work item in the UWL a blank window is opened 'Display Object' close window.
Many thanks
Julie

Hi,
You are most likely missing a proper configuration for the task in UWL. The UWL configurations are done in Portal in system admin -> system config -> UWL (->Manage item types). This will require some XML "coding" experience, since you would need to do a proper XML configuration for the task. Now I don't know that what should happen when the user clicks the task in UWL, since I don't know this workflow or this area. Is there some web application existing for this task, are you just supposed to open the SAP GUI for the task? In both cases it might also be possible to do the needed configuration in transaction SWFVISU. Basically you need to enter your task ID there and then configure what is the "visualization" for the task. After the SWFVISU has been done correctly, you need to re-register the workflow system (in system admin -> system config -> UWL), and this would create the XML configuration automatically.

Universal Worklist UWL not working in NW04s SPS9 after upgrade from NW04

Hello all,
this is just a hint in case anyone has the same problem with the UWL.
It happened to me in 2 cases, that in a Portal 7 SPS9 the UWL only showed a blank page after upgrade from NW04. In NW04 the UWL worked.
The reason for it was something like a corrupt deployment (but there were no according error messages in any log files). The SAP Support told me to redeploy the UWLJWF*.sca according to note 895523, that worked.
You can check whether the deployment is the reason of a non-working UWL setting the property "Launch Web Dynpro UI" to 'no'. Then the old HTMLB sources (that should work) are used (But it is not recommended to use the old sources anymore)
Kind regards
Andreas

Universal WorkList (UWL) items forward

Hi all.
When a user goes to forward a workflow to someone, you get the "Forward" button. When doing the search for a person, a list is returned. Where is this list created from? We want to limit the list to be only managers, but right now, we are retrieving the whole corporation, and this is unacceptable. How can someone control the people/employees that show up in the search list? Is there a certain authorization that goes with it, or an RFC that is called?
Thanks a lot.

I didn't want to chirp up without concrete example for you. For your request, I am not 100% sure. Your only option I can think off off hand is to look at the UWL Configuration (ie. the XML config) that is possible. I know you can config "how" a task/work item as viewed (the "view") as well as how it is launched. However, I am not so sure you could limit the "forward" list. I believe it is just simply looking at the users in the UME for the portal to determine what/who is possible. In any event....if I were in your shoes, I would look at the SAP Press "white book" on UWL Configuration.....get the author's name (I forget right off) and contact him (he is VERY open to contact via email and he knows the UWL inside out).....that's just how I would follow up. Hope it helps.

Universal Worklist Configuration

Hey guys
Please can someone tell me where I can find a universal wordlist config guide for EP7.0?
Many thanks in advance
Jo-lize

Hi
This are the steps need to be followed.please do give full points
The Universal Worklist (UWL) gives users unified and centralized way to access their work and the relevant information in the Enterprise Portal. It collects tasks and notifications from multiple provider systems SAP Business Workflow, Collaboration Task, Alert Framework and Knowledge Management Recent Notifications - in one list for one-stop access.
Administration and configuration for the Universal Worklist (UWL) is described.
General Prerequisites
1.     As an administrator, you have full administration rights for the Portal and the required business workflow rights in back end system (reference roles such as SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_UWL_ADMIN and SAP_BC_UWL_ADMIN_USER). Refer to SAP note 941589.
Summary
Symptom
UWL administrative and/or end users are not allowed to perform or look up business workflow functions or data in the backend system.
Reason and Prerequisites
Corresponding adminsitrative and end users in the backend systems are created from scratch and have zero initial authorization.
These roles are provided as an option to enable UWL administrative and end user authorization to readily utitlize the APIs of the SAP Business Workflow and relevant basis components remotely.
(Note: Usually these roles are not needed as backend user is already assigned with roles that have sufficient authorization.)
Also refer to BWF note 938717 for the corresponding roles required by business workflow.
SAP_BC_UWL_ADMIN_USER
For UWL administrative user who mainly deals with business workflow system registration.
SAP_BC_UWL_END_USER
For UWL end user to carry out all business workflow actions currently supported in UWL.
Solution
The roles can only be imported with a support package

Summary
Symptom
This note delivers two roles (PFCG) with the authorizations required to display and edit Business Workflow work items in the universal worklist.
SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_UWL_ADMIN
This role has the workflow authorizations required to perform the configuration for the Business Workflow connection in the universal worklist. These are authorizations for Business Workflow interfaces on the back-end system. The role does not have any authorizations for the portal or other interfaces used by the universal worklist.
SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_UWL_END_USER
This role has all workflow authorizations required by end users to be able to edit Business Workflow work items with the universal worklist. The role does not have any authorizations for the portal or other interfaces used by the universal worklist.
You can either use the two roles directly or as templates for your own roles.

Related Notes
941589 - UWL: administrative and end user roles
Attributes
1.     Make sure that each user is known to all connected SAP systems as per role requirement (make sure that there is one-to-one mapping between the portal user and the backend user)
If an iView is based on a system object defined in your system landscape, you must assign user permission for the relevant user, group, or role to the system object, as well. User permissions assigned to a system permits the iView to retrieve data from the respective back end application through the system object at runtime.
2.      Each connected SAP system for back end system (below release 7.0, WP-PI plug-in 6.0) has the connection to its respective SAP Internet Transaction Server (ITS)
Authorizations needed for working with Business Workflow
Normally, when the corresponding back end system user already has the correct authorization to work on the Business Workflow directly, no additional setup is required when working in UWL. However, manual configuration to assign RFC access authorization to the following function groups may be needed (Note: this is not common):
1.     ●      Function group and transaction SWK1 (for back end systems using WP-PI plug-in)
2.     ●      Function group SWN_UWL_WL (for back end system on release 6.40 and above, without the need of WP-PI plug-in)
3.     ●      Function group SWRC, SSCV (for all cases)
4.     ●      Authorization rights for SDTX
User Mapping:
1.      Navigate to User Administration ®identity Managementà User Mapping.
       2.      There are three scenarios:
○     Portal user ID is different than the back end SAP user ID and back end SAP user IDs are different in all back end SAP systems connected to the portal (UIDPW)
1.      Maintain the user mapping for each portal user corresponding to all the respective back end systems
2.      Portal user ID is different than the back end SAP user ID and backend SAP user ids are the same in all back end SAP systems connected to the portal (logon ticket)
Maintain the user mapping for each portal user to the reference system
3.     Portal user ID is the same as the back end SAP user and back end SAP user IDs are the same in all back end SAP systems connected to the portal (logon ticket)
1.       No user mapping is necessary
User Permissions
According to the prerequisites, if an iView is based on a system object defined in your system landscape, you must assign user permission for the relevant user, group, or role to the system object, as well.
User permissions assigned to a system permits the iView to retrieve data from the respective back end application through the system object at runtime.
     Procedure
       1.      Navigate to System Administration ® System Configuration ® Portal Content. Open the folder where the existing systems were created.
       2.      From the available system list, click with the secondary mouse button on the system name and choose Open ® Permissions.
       3.      Assign permissions. Make sure that under the Administrator column you assign Read permissions for the assigned role (for example for role eu_role). Also mark the check box End User.
       4.      Choose Save.
     Registering the Provider Systems
Each UWL iView can retrieve work items from multiple Business Workflow back end systems. Register each back-end connection to be used with the following procedure:
On the port...
       1.      On the portal, choose System Administration ® System Configuration ® Universal Worklist and Workflow ® Universal Worklist Administration.
The Universal Worklist Systems list appears. Here you can define connectors and systems as item providers for the Universal Worklist.
       2.      To add a new entry, choose New. To edit existing information, select (highlight) the row and choose Edit.
       3.      To save the current system registration, choose Ok.
       4.      Multiple system connections are defined by repeating the above steps 1 to 3.
Table describing the parameters
Parameter     Description and Use
Connector     This is the identifier with which the connector is registered. It indicates the type of items retrieved through the connection. For example: WebFlowConnector.For connector types WebFlowConnector or Alert Connector item types have to be registered with the UWL service after defining a new system connection.
Configuration Groups     Leave this blank, when working with the default UWL iView. You can add a number of configuration groups separated by commas but only one configuration group per iView. first installed, one UWL iView is defined. The System Configuration Group property for that iView is empty (blank). This means that no System Configuration Group is named, but in effect there is only a single group. The default behavior for the blank setting is this: when any user logs onto the UWL iView, UWL tries to log that user onto all registered back end systems. There is a limitation with the blank setting. When a large number of systems are accessed during log on, the overall portal load is increased. Also, the user receives error messages from those back end systems that have no user account for the particular UWL user. For large system landscapes do the following:...       1.      Partition back end systems into groups. This is accomplished by creating additional UWL iView instances, each of which refers to a specific group of backend systems. The group is defined, using the System Configuration Group iView property.       2.      Then use the value of the System Configuration Group property when registering back end systems by placing it in parameter Configuration Group, when you register the SAP system.
System alias     The name of the alias for the back end system, as defined in the system landscape. The length cannot exceed 25 characters.If Web Dynpro applications are configured on a SAP NetWeaver Application Server which is different from the SAP NetWeaver Application Server of the system alias, then specify that system alias as a Web Dynpro system
Web Dynpro Launch System     Enter the Web Dynpro system name if the SAP NetWeaver Application Server for the system is not the same as that running the Web Dynpro.Leave empty otherwise
User Roles     Restricts who can get work items via the user role. For example, you can assign a portal role here, such as buyer. Only users with the role buyer will see items from the provider system in UWL.You can have multiple user roles separated by semi-colon. By specifying user roles for the portal users, it can be restricted as to who gets the work items in UWL. For example, you can assign a portal role to a user, such as buyer. Only users with the role buyer will see items from a system, for example, B7QCLNT000 in UWL.
Pull Channel Delta Refresh Period (in Seconds)     Delta Pull mechanism of UWL enables new items to be fetched from the back end SAP systems every minute by default every 60 seconds, and every 30 seconds for alerts. However, this can be configured. The user does not need to use the refresh function to update the inbox. Once items are retrieved, timestamps are updated for the users whose items are successfully retrieved. These retrieved items are updated in the UWL cache. Setup necessary from Business Workflow to enable Delta Pull MechanismSome configuration settings are required if you use the UWL and the Extended Notifications for SAP Business Workflow. Define the following two batch jobs:...●      Background job (for example UWL_DELTA_PULL_1), consisting of a single step of ABAP report RSWNUWLSEL in FULL mode, using a report variant.Run the job once a day.1.     ●      A background job (for example UWL_DELTA_PULL_2), consisting of a single step of ABAP report RSWNUWLSEL in DELTA mode (default mode is delta, so report variant is optional).Run the job every one to three minutes (depending on the performance of the back end SAP system).Setup necessary from UWL to enable Delta Pull Mechanism The UWL service user in portal, with user id uwl_service, has to be granted access to the corresponding back end systems. This is a predefined service user provided by UWL. When the back end system is configured in the UWL administration page, an automated process is triggered to create a corresponding UWL service user in the back end system.Check role assignments and profiles status of this automated generated UWL service user and perform user comparison if necessary.●      If SAPLogon ticket is used (without using user mapping), you first create the system entry. A message about uwl_service user appears. Then in the back-end system give the uwl_service user an initial password. Now edit the system entry.●      If user mapping is used, you can first configure the back end system in the UWL administration page. Then access the respective back end system to initialize the password for the user uwl_service. Then, do user mapping in the portal as usual for service user uwl_service.In case uwl_service fails to be created in the back end and does not exist, you can manually create a back end user with the id uwl_service and assign the role SAP_BC_UWL_SERVICE and the rights as other end users.ORMap uwl_service to an existing back end user. Make sure that there is no multiple user mapping (there must not be two portal users mapped to the same back end user). This back end user must have the role SAP_BC_UWL_SERVICE.
Snapshot Refresh Period (in minutes)     All items at the current time are fetched from the backend (for example from the SAP Business Workflow). The cache is synchronized thereafter. New / modified / deleted / updated items are fetched every session (every log on) if you leave the field value empty or enter a negative number.To specify a particular time frame for which the refresh occurs, enter the number of minutes
The above registration procedure is usually sufficient to use a UWL iView. Item type retrieval and registration requires a connection to the systems and may take a couple of minutes.
For each system, they are generated as the configuration named uwl.webflow..
In Manager Self-Service (MSS), the Universal Worklist groups together in Workset: Work
Overview the various workflow tasks and alerts that are relevant for a manager.
The standard MSS delivery includes the configuration file com.sap.pct.erp.mss.001.xml for the universal worklist.
1. In the portal, choose System Administration →System Configuration →Universal
Worklist and Workflow →Universal Worklist →UWL Systems Configuration.
2. Create the following system connections:
If you have already registered a suitable connector to the system connected to
the system alias, the existing connector is sufficient and you do not have to
register an additional one.
○ System alias: SAP_ECC_Financials
Connection types:
■ WebFlowConnector
■ AlertConnector
○ System alias: SAP_ECC_HumanResources
Connection type WebFlowConnector
○ System alias: SAP_SRM
Connection type WebFlowConnector
Leave the Web Dynpro Launch System field blank for all system connections.

Configuring Guided Procedures with the Universal Worklist

hi experts,
Pls give me the steps to Configure Guided Procedures with the Universal Worklist....
I have the help file with me but it doesn't work ... and my configuration is NWDS 7.0 sp9.
pls help me
with regards,
sriram

Hi,
You can configure your system so that the tasks generated in Guided Procedures (GP) workflows, both on local and remote systems, are displayed in the Universal Worklist (UWL) together with the tasks pertaining to other SAP NetWeaver Portal work areas.
You perform the configuration steps on the consumer side:
       1.      Create a portal system, specifying the host name, HTTP port of the GP tasks provider and, if available, the WSDL of the relevant service.
       2.      Register the system as the item provider for UWL and configure it for remote access.
You establish the connection between GP and the UWL by assigning a system alias.
       3.      In UWL, browse all pending GP tasks assigned to your user.
You can only view tasks assigned to your user, that is, the logon ID of the user on both systems must match.
Prerequisites:-
a) You have been assigned the System Admin portal role to be able to create portal systems and aliases. For more information, see Administration Roles.
b) You have been assigned the Standard User role to be able to access UWL in the portal. For more information, see Default Portal Content for Standard Users.
c) You know the host name of the system from which you want to retrieve GP tasks
Step by Step Procedure guide can be found out at
[Step by Step Procedure for COnfiguring GP with UWL|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/ef06a7860c7061e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm]

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-

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.....

UWL/Universal Worklist/Substitution - Removing the "Rule Activation" column

Hi SDNers,
From the Universal Worklist, it is possible to access the "Manage Substitution Rules" screen, in which one can manager substitutions over its colleagues.
I would like to remove a column in the standard "My Substitution Rules" table : the "Rule Activation" column.
Is there a way to do it ?
Regards

Michael, you can do this in the UWL but only with a 6.40 backend (ex. ECC 5) with a specific patch level (can not remember that patch level).
Before this you need to set these substituion in the R/3 inbox.
This being said it is only for workflow task routing. If I read your message correctly you want a manager to assign his authorizations (roles in R/3 or the portal) to a secretary. This is not supported in any standard SAP (or portal) scenario as far as I am aware.
Cheers,
D.

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.
