Agent when approving through portal.

Hello All,
As the part of approval process in the workflow a mail is sent to the agents microsoft outlook inbox. The agent will click on the link and will go to the portal and set 'OK' or 'Rejected'. This is working fine. But in this case i need to know in SAP which agent has executed the workitem. Will there be any tables which i can refer?. Any solution.
Thanks,
Neslin.

How you are calculating agent ? If there are multiple agents then the one who will first take action will be accepted.
You can know the agent by taking the rule value , which is in the actor tab table .
or
in SWI1 we can have the log the all the workitems.
Let me know if i answer your question .

TableView LINEEDIT works differently when viewed through Portal

I have a simple table with a few columns of data that I display and allow the user to change a row using the selectionMode = "lineedit". The columns are all controlled using htmlb tableViewColumns.
When I test my application from the WebAs the table looks fine. If a user selects a row they can see the entire amount of text that appears in a column they want to change
However, when the BSP comes up in our SAP portal and the user selects a row only the first 20 (or so) characters can be seen and the user must use the arrows keys to get to the part of the text they wish to change. Is this a setting somewhere?

For the <htmlb:inputField> look at attributes maxlength, size and width.
width: Determines the text width for the input field. We recommend that you use the size attribute instead of width.
size: Determines the size of the input field.
maxLength: Maximum length of the user input.
I must admit that this documentation is not tell me enough. Will ask on Monday about this.
As for your remark "works differently when viewed through Portal": You keep in mind that once a BSP application is running with the portal, all stylesheets (*.CSS) files are loaded from the portal server, and not the webAS.
Now it could happen that you are running an EP and an older (or incompatible) patch level than your BSP stylesheets are at the moment. For EP6, starting from what I remember at SP11, there is planned a technique to install the latest stylesheets from service market place. You ask about this via OSS, queue EP-PIN-?-STY (something like this).

BSP YHAP_DOCUMENT-working in BSP but not through portals

Hi!
I am using the BSP HAP_DOCUMENT to get column access for columns in the appraisal document for 'further participant' role.
for this i changed the mode in ydocuments_where_participated.htm to 'X' and also used the BADI HRHAP00_COL_ACCESS. in this badi i have changed the availability of the columns to 'X' and in the portals i gave this custom BSP and this ypage for the iview.
when i test the page in SE80 it is working perfectly but in the portals the column access is not working.
In the debugging mode of the BADI i see that the mode which is set to "X' in the BSP page is blank when run through portals. But if i test in se80 the mode is still 'X" when the badi is hit.
did anyone phase the same scenario?
any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
thank you

When approving a PO through SRM inbox, the 'Back to Approval' link ismissin

When approving a PO through SRM inbox, the 'Back to Approval' link ismissing

The issue that you have reported is not a bug, but a strandard. Once the
application is integrated to the Portal, the navigation between screens/
transaction is handled differently and should not be compared to ITS.
In EP, you will have to use the Portal's 'Back' button to navigate back.
Please refer to note # 933450 as the correction is the same for this
issue also.
The link has been removed because navigation in EP is handled
differently as compared to ITS. In EP you use the EP's navigation and
not ITS links like ('Back to Sourcing') or ('Return to Change Version')

Calling portal screen from workflow and required two level approvals to approve in portal

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement that, I would trigger a process order approval workflow from SRM SUS portal. Agent when he clicks the link in the attached mail, it has to take him to the portal screen to approve and it has to go to next level manager for the approval. Once both the managers approves, the approved quantity should be reflected in the SRM SUS portal for the order.
I have good experience in SAP WORKFLOWS in ECC. However; I have never worked on workflows through webdynpro and never worked on SRM portals as well.
Please help me in completing this scenario. I have found the proper button in the portal to trigger the workflow. Please guide me the best approach to design and how should I pass webdynpro application link to agent mail with the parameter Order. and how can i bring the control back to my workflow.
Please help me in
Thanks in advance. Points will be rewarded.

When i run the above code in Se38, I get an email with a attachment that i am able to open. The problem seems to be with user WF_BATCH.
I have already checked all the existing threads on this. I did this coding as per one of the SDN threads itself.
I am able to open the PDF attachment even when i test the method. The problem is only when it is run through a task/workflow.
Please advice.

Hello,
You should see an "Edit" in the top right of your post, you can use that to edit it.
As I said, use before and after the coding, but without the spaces (after "{" and before "}" ).
Try it!

this is code

Error while approving time - Portal crashes or hangs up

Hello,
We have this one end user who approves time for a lot of people (>150). When trying to approve time as this user, portal crashes or hangs up. This user has approximately 5000 individual items combined that user needs to approve
Steps
1) Click on "Time to be approved" in MSS - PASS
2) A screen pops up and after about 7 minutes or so, user gets time to be approved for each employee by week. - PASS
3) User will then click on "Review" button at the bottom of the pop -up.
4) The individual item screen that shows time for each day where user can approve or reject is not coming up. Browser basically crashes or just hangs up.
Any ideas or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

It seems like this user may be approving time not as a supervisor but more as an HR payroll/personnel type of person. If this is the case and they are not really the supervisor of >150 people, I would recommend having the user run the report for approval in the backend (CAPS or CAT4 transaction).
If they insist on approving through MSS or if they really are a casual user/supervisor, then it seems they will need more PC memory to handle that much processing.
Also, we partitioned the CATSDB table and the approval reports runs in seconds now instead of minutes. We partitioned by year. This may help you also but doubtful since they are trying to approve so many employees at once.

Workflow should trigger through portal.

Hi Experts,
I am new to workflow.
I have a requirement to trigger workflow through portal.
This is basically to automate the reimbursement process.
When the user submits the form it should go for approval to the managers
depending on the claimed amount.
I want to know how we can do this, is there any standard workflow or we should customize the workflow. Can this be done only through portal alone .
Please give me a clear idea how to proceed.
Thanks
Chakri....

STMA workflow - approval through UWL

Hello All,
We have integrated the STMA workflow for transport management for ABAP TRs. It works perfectly fine.
However, I have the requirement to be able to let users approve transport requests through portal instead of logging into SAP inbox. How can I launch the same screen that user sees when launching approval workitem from R/3 and UWL.
Please assist.
Regards,
Samta.

Hello Vinoth,
We are using STMA standard transport workflow that SAP gives for approve/reject and automate movement of transports through R/3 landscape. Now when the manager has an approval item in the inbox, he double clicks to find a pop up window open in R/3 which lets him see the next system in the landscape and confirms to move the transport to the next system.
How can I get the same functionality to be available through portal. Is there a direct approach or should I write a custom BSP app for the same. Can the existing code be directly used in the custom BSP application.
Please assist.
