Attaching HTTP Links for User Decisions?

hi all,
how can we attach HTTP Links along with User Decisions. i have previously attached Business Objects as links along with approve/reject button but this time I need to attach a HTTP link.
Points will be awarded.

hi ravi,
the basic requirement for me is that the frontend is going to be Webdynpro Pages controlled with a workflow in the backend. say if a personnel submits a form, it has go to the person's manager for approval.
So while approving it, if incase he wants to see the approval information, he would click on the URL which comes with the User Decision. this is the precise requirement.
Regarding Javascript code, where can we write the java code for URL's. is there any standard template which follows the same requirement.

Url link in User Decision workflow step

Hi Experts,
I had created a workflow for "Employee transfer" process using SWDD tcode.
I had a created a workflow step with type as "User Decision".I had included "Approve" & "Reject" decision options.
Now i want to include URL link along with "Approve" & "Reject" in the user decision workflow step (i.e) The manager needs to see the URL link along with "Approve" & "Reject" in his SAP workflow inbox.
Can anyone guide me...

Hi Krishna,
I understand your issue. I have faced a similar issue in my project.
Here is the solution!
To add link of a URL you need to have the binding with the BO of the transaction your are refering to. To do this, you need to bind your BO event (triggering event) to the workflow container and then the workflow container to task container. This BO value should flow from event-> workflow -> task container to get the link in the User Decision.
To do the binding you need to follow the following steps:
1. Go to t-code SWDD and open your workflow template.
2. Go to Basic Data (cap sign button at the top of the screen) or click Ctrl + F8
3. Go to Start Events tab.
4. In the Object type enter your BO name (BO for the transaction you need to add as link), in Event of object enter the BO event. This would serve as the triggering event for your workflow.
5. Click on 'B' i.e. Binding Defined, click on generate automatic binding. It would automatically generate the appropriate binding for the workflow. You can also alter the binding as per requirement. This binding would ensure that the URL comes under 'objects and attachments' section.
6. Click on 'C' i.e. Start Condition. A dialog would open, select the appropriate start condition for the workflow. Check the condition before saving (recommended).
6. Click on 'A' to Activate the binding and start condition. All 'A', 'B' and 'C' would get green.
7. Save the changes made and activate your workflow.
8. Do the binding between the workflow and the user decision step. Select automatic binding (recommended).
You can also refer to the similar thread that I had provided solution to. This would help you resolve the issue!
Re: URL of site has to be attached along with the mail
Hope this helps!

Link in User Decision step not showing correctly in UWL

Hi SAP Experts,
I have a requirement to add a link in a user decision step, this link triggers a custom webdynpro for additional input. When I access the workitem from Business Workplace, the link is showing fine. But when I execute the workitem in UWL, the link is not displayed, instead the code is shown (<a>...</a>). Please advise on what I should do to have the link working. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This same thing was just recently discussed. I just cannot find the thread anymore (well, in that thread there was not really any solution). Basically the hyperlinks in work item do not seem to work in UWL as they should. I don't know if there are any way to make them work. My suggestion is to not use the hyperlink at all and replace that with an action (=button) to the task in the UWL. This can be achieve quite easily by simple XML configuration in portal. If you have worked with UWL this should be quite straightforward for you, or if there is a consultant at the site, who is familiar with UWL, this should be simple for him/her.

Step for User Decision

Hi All,
I have a scenario and two solutions for it.
Please give me the input for which is a better solution and why.
Scenario - Approver have to either Approve/ Reject a particular request made.
The user decision has to come from Java front end and the workitem created has to be executed externally
( not by opening sap inbox)
Soln 1 : Create an asynchronous task and custom terminating events for the workitem and trigger terminating event for any user decision Approve or Reject.
Soln 2 : Send an normal decision task and programatically execute one of the decision using the WAPI* FM when user clicks Approve/Reject.
Both of them I think uses the WAPI * FM.
Thanks
Chandran

Sorry I was not clear in my question before.
I still refered to the first solution which uses a Aysn Task and a method which does not have any code (just a placeholder)
IA is absolutely right but I dont have the flexibilty to use an ivew.
Thanks a lot for your reply. I would close up this thread.
Just some additional clarification if you can bring up
What additional code that would be required for the second solution (both uses a sap WAPI FM )
Both can be tracked by WF tools by finding out the agent and the person who have completed the Workitem so which tools you were mentioning about
Actually I did not get which is a better solution but realized both can be used atleast no worry on the performance load. My be this topic can go for a long time to figure out

Need 2 Multiline elements for user decision step

We are on SAP R/3 Enterprise version.
I have this requirement to find agents based on the agent type and work center field. So I created a responsibility rule for each type of agent type. The responsibility rule is keyed on the work center, and HR positions are mapped to each responsibility rules work center field.
We have 50 agent types/responsibility rules, 60 work centers, and 1 or more positions for each agent type and work center combinations. Due to the total number of positions, I prefer to use 1 responsibility rule per agent type for ease of maintenance.
I have a FM that reads the responsibility rule based on the agent type and work center field and retrieve the agent_list. I used this FM/method/step prior to my user decision step and pass the agent_list to the UD step via container.
In my user decision step, the Other tab does not have Multiline element for me to enter my agent_list. So I cannot use &agent_list[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]& in my user decision agent assignment expression field.
In my last job, we have SAP ECC 5.0, the UD step has a Misc tab that has Multiline element, but our current SAP R/3 Enterprise version does not have Misc tab, it only has Other tab.
Question:
1. How do I use [&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&] without Multiline element for agent_list in UD step?
2. I have to use the same way to retrieve my LED_agent_list as well, so I need 2 Multiline elements in my UD step. But normally in Other tab, it allows you to define only 1 Multiline element. How do I get around this restriction?
3. My last resort is to use 1 responsibility rule, then I can use the rule in the agent assignment. If that is the case, is there any limit on the number of entries in the rule?
Thanks.
Amy

Sorry, I posted to the wrong forum.

Solutions for User Decision step- Upon reject, auto-popup text for reason

Execute user Decision workitem, when user click reject button, open text for rejection reason within the workitem.
Ideally, for the auto-pop text , we need a descriptive header and user can enter reject reason. Text must be added before the workitem can be saved.
Any thoughts.
Thanks a lot.

yes, on the SOFM.Create-Task use a dataflow from the WIOBJECT_ID => (append table) ADHOCOBJECTS
This will popuplate this rejection to the hyperlink-section of the workflow.
You may also activate the outcome-even "user-cancelled" in the workflow definition (or by copying the coding to your own method that could do it) and loop around back to the user decision if he cancels the document create (which I found out is sometimes a problem for the users).
I also have made the experience that it is quite the same effort and more convenient if you design a complete user-driven screen. Then you have full control of that issue. I always use a small dialog box with a textEdit-Control where the users have to enter their rejection reason.
I then create my own ZWFNOTE-Object and append this to the ADHOCOBJECT. This usually works very fine.
with kind regards,
Florin

Body of text for User Decision

Hi Experts,
In my scenario while sending user decision mail for approve or cancel, here I need to send mail with body of text
Like :
Scheduling agreement number: &PURCHSCHEDAGREEMENT.PURCHASINGDOCUMENT&
Scheduling agreement date:
Material Description:
Rejected by:
Rejection reason:
Now I can include subject of mail using parameters (decision tab).
But here I am not able to include body of text.
Please any one can suggest solution for this.
Advance Thanks,
Regards,
BBC

Hi Suresh,
Thanks for your quick replay.
As suggested, yes I can see the container, here only it is showing few things like adhoc_objects, attach_objects, Wi_group_id, work_item, and note reference.
I need to get values from scheduling agreement relevant methods and all...
In work flow I can call the scheduling agreement methods relevant container parameters in other steps.
Please can you suggest how to see what ever available methods and all in workflow?

How do I set up an image / link for users to download a pdf form

I'm creating my first website through iweb. I need to have a place where my clients can download a pdf file. How do I do this? I have already made the pdf file a zip file. Then what?

Make a hyperlink to the file.
Inspector > second icon from the right.
iWeb takes care of the publishing.
And when you have a pdf why not provide a pdf instead of bothering your visitor with an exotic file they won't know what to do with.
Besides that, I hate it to download zipped pdf files on my iPad instead of reading them when I click such link.
Here's an alternative way that pleases all parties :

Test Links for Users OUTSIDE the Workflow

Hello,
In our company we have a process where updates are requested, then someone makes the updates and then a test link is sent to the requestor so they can review and approve. This is all pre-UCM, we have been working in another CMS and are moving to UCM now. The question that has arisen is how can users that are NOT in the workflow or dont even have users accounts view the content on the server?
Basically when we send test links to the requestor they often send to their coworkers etc... for further review and from what we are being told about workflows is that ONLY the users IN the workflow can see the updates on the site in the browser.
Is there a "work a round" to this? How can we allow anyone to see updated content on our test site?
Could we create a Generic Guest account that has read to all content and is in all workflows? What have you experenced in your implementations and how have you resolved?
Thank you
Brett.

WOW, no one has run into this type of situation. Amazing. well then... hmmmm.....

Hiee friends .
I am new to workflow .I was going through the workflow tutorial [building a workflow from scratch] available at the elearning section[ABAP eLearning Catalog].

Dynamic name for attachment in User Decision

Hi...
I have a requirement wherein the name of the attachment in the user decision has to be populated dynamically. I am using the same BO method for user decision but is triggering 2 different objects. Please advice on how to achieve this.
Scenario - I am using BUS2081 for Invoice and for Credit Memo. If the credit memo is created, the approver has to see the name of the attachment as Credit Memo xxxx and if an invoice is created, he has to see the attachment as Invoice xxxx. As standard, whatever object is created, the attachment name is Incoming Invoice xxxx (name of the BO Object Bus2081).
Warm Regards,
Jubish Jacob

The object name is static but the default attribute can be changed (use a z-subobject and delegate back) so you can do something like this: instead of: incoming invoice(object name) 12345(invoice number - default attribute) you will have document(new object name) incoming invoice/credit memo 12345(document type & number concatenated - a new default attribute)
Another option - I think credit memos have an object (BUS2094) or you can create one - in the task have both object types in the container, when its a credit memo transfer only the credit object when it's an invoice transfer only the invoice object.

Custom User Decision for Class Method in Task

Hi Expert,
I have a screen for user decision(Approve/Reject with some comments field). When i execute the process it works fine for all cases, but when i don't click any decision and come back from the screen, then also this task gets completed and workflow starts executing next step. Here in this case, i want workitem to remain in inbox same as what happen in case of user decision step.
Do i need to put this task in loop till i get a decision or some other way i can solve it? I have tried putting this method as Synchronous and non-Synchronous method. I am not sure if this issue is, because i am using Class method. Please help.
Regards,
Pritam
Edited by: Pritam Kunal on Feb 11, 2011 4:28 PM

Hi Mike,
I have got a solution for this. If we make the task as Asynchronous task with a terminating event. Till the time event is not triggered process workitem will remain in inbox. This event can we triggered at any user decision only.
Is there any flow in this logic? I have tried it for few cases and it worked, but not sure if there will be any case where it will not work? any suggestion?

Pritam
