Adding custom link to UWL

Hello Experts,
I want to add a custom link to the UWL screen (near the 'Refresh' button in the attached picture).
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/810/uwld.jpg/
I opened the xml file and added the following lines in 'Actions' part of the 'DefaultView' view
<Action name="help" handler="UrlLauncher">
<Properties>
<Property name="url" value="http://www.google.co.il"/>
</Properties>
</Action>
but I can't see the link.
My portal version is 7.01 SP7.
What do I need to do in order to see the link?
Thanks,
Omri

Hi Karri,
For refresh I'm using
<Action name="refresh" groupAction="" handler="UIActionHandler" referenceBundle="refresh" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="SHOW_HEADERLESS_PORTAL">
<Properties>
<Property name="type" value="button"/>
<Property name="onClick" value="onForceRefresh"/>
</Properties>
</Action>
and it's working.
But for a custom URL it doesn't...

Adding Custom Links to right side of Blog

How do you add your own custom links to the right side of your Blog?
Using Leopard Server 10.5.5

Well, you can edit the template files so all new users will have the same links in the Blogs/Sidebar above the Find By Date tag when that user is added to the wiki/blogs feature in Server Admin.
Just adjust this file with a text editor:
usr/share/wikid/lib/appletemplates/content_entrylisting.xsl
add your hrefs above this line:
<xsl:value-of select="../strings/Filter-by-Date"/>
Save the file and add a new user to the wiki/blog in Server Admin/Web settings. All new users will now have the links you added above the Filter by Date text in the sidebar.
I have not been able to figured out how to adjust current users but will let you know once I find something.

Adding custom link for CIM Agent Console

Hello all,
I have a received a request to add a new custom button in the Information pane of CIM Agent console.The agents want to use this to show a drop-down with skillgroup/queues and then transfer the activity to the selected skill-group.
Can anybody advise how this can be achieved?
Thanks much,
Dilip

Restating the question:
For the CIM agent desktop we want to add a new button in the “Information Pane” where we can get a window to transfer the activity . We want get a list of skillgroup and be able to transfer the activity to the selected skillgroup or queue.
I would like to get information on if there is a developer’s guide or a configuration guide that provides us any more information on how we can achieve it.
Currently, my information is limited to how a new button can be created and how an URL can be added as provided in the attached document (Tools user guide) and how the DataAdapter can be used.
Thanks for your time.

Adding custom columns to the tasks tab in UWL

Hi Experts,
We have UWL configured for GP in CE 7.1.
Currently we have standard columns like Subject, From, Sent Date etc. only
I need to add some columns like Project No., Customer No.(GP parameters) to the 'Tasks' tab in it.
These columns are required for all the Work items that appear in UWL.
I have read about adding custom view for a specific task , but not sure how it can be done in my case.
Kindly provide inputs for this.
Thanks and Regards
Aanchal

Hi Aanchal,
i have posted exactly the same problem a few months ago, and no one answered me.
I couldn't find any documentation on how to add custom GP parameters in the universal worklist, in the examples on customizing the UWL XML they always refer to parameters from the r/3 webflow, never GP.
I really can't believe that nobody ever tried to do this and faced this problem!
Please let me know if you find something..
Regards,
Marco.

Adding a custom link to an Application OAF page

I need to add a custom link to a standard OAF page, this link should launch an application which requires a log in.
Can I add this link through personalization.
If I add this link through personalization, how do I pass parameters to this application which allows us to implement the Single Sign on. We will have single sign on turned on for the eBusiness suite and the other application.

If your Single Sign On is configured, you should be able to navigate directly to the Page. Adding a link through personalization is not a problem. Parameters could be included in the URL itself(you might need to check on security).
But I am not sure how much would your third party application would integrate with Oracle. Kindly try passing information through URLs and check out the behaviour.

"You can also" link in UWL work item when using user decision step in workflow

Hi,
Just want to check if anybody has tried adding links to this section in the UWL when using user decision step? I need to pass some custom links which will be calling some webdynpro applications and backend transactions. I have read somewhere that Ineed to modify the XML file but don' t know how the next steps once I have defined (i.e. how to handle those links).
Thanks in advance.
Rammel

Hi Rammel
I hope you are keeping well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
Based upon your scenario you mentioned that:
You want to add links to the "You Can Also" section in the UWL with user decision steps
In an effort to pass custom links (calling web dynpro) applications.
You wish to know how to modify the XML
Ok now based upon the scenario there are two key points regarding XML files and efforts to change them.
Remember that XML in terms of the UWL follow the notion of precedence. Now that means that once you make a change to an XML file you need to re-upload it to realize changes. To re-upload an XML file and realized changes you need to do so with a "High" or "Very High" priority and also ensure that the UWL Cache has been cleared of the UWL Service restarted so changes can be realized.
The second key point is to ensure that you backup all current XML files before making any changes so you can easily revert those changes if required.
Now reverting back to your query, the XML files and the "You Can Also" section. Kindly see the documentation outlined below as here you are going to make changes to the I-View configuration:

Adding custom fields to Embedded Search

Hi All,
I have read the post [here|How to add custom fields to Embedded Search; about adding custom fields to Embedded Search. I am looking to add Employee Subgroup for use in Talent Management (specifically the STVN SuccessionPlanning component) and wanted to know if anyone can expand on the instructions in the link to add this field.
It appears to be part of the HRTMC_PERSON search object connector already and while I've done some IMG configuration the field is showing in SuccessionPlanning, but not displaying any data.
Additionally, I'd be interested in any tips to add information that is not from PA0002 should it be required in the future.
Many thanks,
Luke

Hi Luke,
I am assuming here that your search request fields are based on HRTCM_CENTRALPERSON search template. To enable your search to work on employee subgroup please do the following
1) Check if the HRTMC_PERSON Template extracts the data from Infotype 0001 via SPRO node 'Define Search Models and Change Pointer' Extraction Class is 'CL_HRTMC_SEARCH_READ_PA_INFTY'.
2) Via ESH_COCKPIT, goto Template Modeler and select your custom Software Component and press Edit. Goto roadmap step 5 - Define Requests - where all search request fields are defined. Its using these fields Talent search works.
3) Select the search request e.g. 'SAP_TALENT_NAKISA', it would then show list searchable attributes in below table. Using 'Add' button select path for PERSK so that it can searched.
It would look like this once selected
OBJID(REL_CP_P)->HRTMC_REL_CP_P_209.REL_CP_P(REL_CP)->HRTMC_PERSON.OBJID->HRTMC_PERSON.ORG_ASSIGNMENT
4) In step SPRO 'Define Search Requests and Search Field Names' , define Employee subgroup field with AliasSearchField = PERSK since thats what is defined in roadmap step 5.
Hope it helps!

In SharePoint 2013 navigation, is it possible to add a custom link only to the left-hand menu without getting it in to the top menu dropdown?

If I want to add a custom link to the left-hand navigation menu In a SharePoint 2013 sub-site, it can be done by visiting
Site Settings à Navigation section and adding the link under
Structural Navigation: Editing and Sorting section. However, this will automatically add a matching link to the top menu as a dropdown.
(Note that Global Navigation is set to “Display the same navigation items as the parent site” where “Parent is using Structural Navigation.” and Current Navigation is set to “Structural Navigation:
Display only the navigation items below the current site”)
Is there a way to just add a custom link only to the left-hand menu without getting it in to the top menu dropdown?

How to add custom link or button to task details page to open a different t

Dear All
In HumanTasks Workflow, On task details page, I want to add a custom link or button. Clicking on this link or button, should load a different task details page.
The exact business usecase is like this:
1. We have some human tasks with very detailed payload like about 100 attributes. When the task is submitted for Approval, we send notification emails. These emails shows the Task Details with all these 100 attributes along with standard Approve, Reject buttons etc. NOW in addition to this, we want to add extra custom button/link like Custom View. When we click on this buton or link, it should replace the task details page with the Custom task details page contents. The reason is most of the managers/approvers access their emails on smart phones like iphones. So in these phones, seeing full task details (100 attributes) is very tedious. So we want to provide a simplified view of same task with very minimum attributes like about 10 with Approve, Reject buttons. Now this compact view details will have a button called Detailed View on click on which it loads details page.
So we want to have 2 pages for a task:
taskDetails1.jspx -> Has all 100 attributes with a custom button/link called "Compact View". Click on Compact View switch to below page.
taskCompact1.jspx -> Has only 10 attributes with a custom button/link called "Detailed View". Click on Detailed View switch to above page.
1. I tried implementing this using the VacationRequest sample where the payload is like creator, startdate, enddate, reason. I already have taskDetails1.jspx page, which shows this information in the email body.
2. I want to add another button to taskDetails1.jspx so that when I click on it, I want to load a different page like taskCompact.jspx which has only say creator, reason.
I already added a link and gave the url with parameters like taskId, taskContext etc which I got from bindings, but nothing is displayed when I click on custom button. The taskId, context values are comming correctly in the url.
So bottom line, what is the URL that I can provide in the task details page, to load a different task details page contents. I want to pass other taskdetails jsp details.
Please let me know, if there is any other approach to implement this usecase.
Thanks in advance
Ravi Jegga

Hi,
I am not sure if you can add your own custom buttons to the application tool bar because your table control is in a sub screen area in a standard screen so the menu area would be controlled by the standard screen and not the subscreen , but along side the table control you can give buttons for scrolling and handle the same in the subscreen if you check the FM EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_002 it has a variable IM_UCOMM which would have the ucomm set in the subscreen so here you can handle your user command to scroll on the table control.

Himanshu

Adding Custom fields to SRM Item Data tab & Account Assignment Tab

Hi Everyone,
We have got a small requirement to add 2 custom fields in SRM Shopping cart.
Need to add a input field, which should act just like Requisitioner in ECC. ( F4 help ).This will allow to create shopping cart on behalf of some one.
Need to add input field, which resembles Goods Recipient in ECC ( Free text)
After adding custom fields, how do i ensure that, it's mapped to right field in ECC.I spent much browsing SRM forum, but couldn't gather much information. I understood that, this involves configuration in SPRO.
Any information or help in any kind would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.

CS5- Custom Links to EPS Files Don't Work?

I am building a plugin that allows a user to place graphic assets from our own external asset management system into their InDesign document. These assets need to maintain a "custom link" to the external assets.
Everything was working great for simple raster image formats (like JPEG) but the custom link information seems to get lost for EPS files.
After doing some deep debugging I decided to try building one of the sample plugins that ship with CS5 - 'customdatalink' and the accompanying 'customdatalinkui'. This sample does a similar type of thing with CSV files that reference external assets.
To make a long story short, the sample plugin exhibits the exact same behavior. If you edit one of the sample csv files to point to an EPS image and place that in a document, you'll see that the Link URI is replaced with a file:// style path instead of the custom csv:// URI. It works as expected for JPEG files.
Surely this is not expected behavior. Am I missing something obious here or is this a simple (but pretty major for my plugin) bug?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
p.s. this behavior is identical on both Mac and Windows.

Here's a bit more detail. Again the idea is to return an IPMStream that doesn't include a IID_IFILESTREAMDATA. So I make a proxy IPMStream that just forwards requests to a real IPMStream.
I've abbreviated a bit here for space reasons.
So I make my own IPMStream object adding the class to my .fr file:
class FileProxyWriteStream : public CPMUnknown<IPMStream>
public:
               FileProxyWriteStream(IPMUnknown* boss);
          virtual     ~FileProxyWriteStream();
          void SetRealStream(IPMStream *, AeInDesignGeo *);
          virtual uchar XferByte(uchar& chr) { return mRealStream->XferByte(chr); }
... all IPMStream methods
Create my proxy stream:
proxyStream = ::CreateObject2<IPMStream>(kFileProxyWriteStreamBoss, IID_IPMSTREAM);
And I create a IPMStream:
InterfacePtr<IPMStream>          realStream(StreamUtil::CreateFileStreamReadLazy(file, kOpenIn));
Tell my proxyStream about the realStream
proxyStream->SetRealStream(proxyStream);
and CreateResourceReadStream returns my proxyStream
Hope this helps
