Business Workplace - "Tips & Tricks"

I've just noticed a very, very cool feature in Business Workplace. When you go to your Inbox, and you hover over "Tips & Tricks," something appears, a bit like a Windows tooltip, except far more useful and far less annoying.
Does anyone know how I can get such a feature into an ABAP programme I write myself? It looks like it should be easy - probably something like set a property on an object and watch it happen. But I can't work it out, I think I must be looking in the wrong place...

Hi Robert,
The Preview Pane utilizes HTML controls. A new item for the "Tips & Tricks" is selected every time you click on a different workitem or deadline message. Function module SIN_WI_PREVIEW_TIPS gets the tip and builds the HTML.
Cheers,
Ramki Maley.

Tips & Tricks to manage time to contribute in SCN

Hi SCN Mates,
The question of managing time to contribute in SCN and be in the top list of contributors is always a challenge, I wonder how other guys are managing it along with project work and personal life.
Through this thread I would like to ask all top contributors to share few tips on how do you manage your time to contribute in SCN and be in top?
I know with dedication and knowledge, at same time everyone will have their office work at priority after family/personal time.
Also contributing for an hour daily is also not possible because you never know whether you get ideas within an hour ;-).
Anyway, share your tips & tricks...
Thanks,
Umashanakr

People who become Top Contributors fall into two main categories
Category 1 - There is no need to know anything about SAP at all, but since they are SAP professionals at the end of the day, they know enough to get points. They spend all their time on SCN, Must follow every single member of HCL. Must go to each blog and like it ,and write "thank you". They read every question posted on the forum, whether they know anything about it or not, and reply to it. They have excellent google skills, so they google the answer and post links in reply to every question. They could vary their approach by becoming active in Coffee Corner as well. Soon they will have million points and be a top contributor.
Unfortunately, this method is not for those who have family/work/other commitments which are more important.
Category 2 - These people have built up a tremendous amount of knowledge after years of practising in the business. They are genuine experts. They do not come into SCN with the sheer intent of accumulating points. However, when they do come in, and see fit to respond to a post, it is invariably the correct answer or very helpful, that they get marked accordingly. These people post thoughtful blogs or comments or documents or discussions, which are useful and appreciated by the community and they get marked accordingly. Sooner or later, without really trying, but by simply practising their profession, these people accumulate enough points to become Top Contributors.
These people do not have a set strategy intended to accumulate points, but they do have a set strategy of being good and knowledgeable at their job. They manage their work/life balance in a way that suits them to achive this goal.
I am afraid there is no fixed way to achieve lofty goals with little or no effort.
There is a 3rd category, who are pretty decent in their knowledge and sporadically answer questions when they feel like, and who randomly get points for their responses, and they will never become top contributors, however, they are not too worried about it, and they do get to spend time with their families/other interests. This is a technicality that need not detain us.
YMMV
Hope this helps.

ECC 6.0 Upgrade - Tips, Tricks, Lessons Learned needed (Esp. in SD, LO, MM)

Greetings Experts!
I am searching for information and/or documentation in regards to tips, tricks, lessons learned, and "steps to take" while upgrading to ECC 6.0 (from 4.6c, to be specific).
We have the install guides, and I'm currently looking at the ERP Solution browser to discern the differences between the two releases... however, we're in need of information on specific actions or things to look for after the technical upgrade. I am having trouble finding any SAP documentation of this kind.
Links to SAP documentation are highly desired. Personal documentation in this regard would be highly appreciated as well! My e-mail address is in my profile.
Many, many thanks in advance!
Cheryl

Did you know-? Animation Tips & Tricks

Did you know that you can animate any object you create in Project ROME – and that it's easy to do too? Just follow these quick steps (and be sure to have your timeline showing – View > Show Timeline):
1.Select the object you want to animate
2.Click on the stop watch in the upper left of the timeline
3.Drag the top arrow within the timeline to indicate how long you want the animation to talk place (e.g., 10 seconds)
4.Animate!
You can drag the selected object to create an animation path, change the object's color or even transparency. Check out this latest video on more about creating animation: http://bit.ly/9m4ug4. Let us know how this works for you and if you have any suggestions or questions along the way!
Thanks again for your feedback!

Business Workplace mail

I have a Workflow that sends a mail to an employee in some cases. The employee can see it at SAP Business Workplace, but he has to check it periodically to know if there are or aren't a new message for him.
Are there any way to tell him he has a message with a pop up a message or something like this?
I know on TX SO16 there is the parameter "No notification of unviewed mails at logon" wich is usefull, but only for logon. If the user is on the system and doesn't logout for whole day he will not know he has a new message until tomorrow, unless he check it explicitly.
Thanks!

Hi,
Have you thought about the option to send a mail to the outlook of the user? As Glauco mentioned you can either send the mail to the outlook user by sending the mail through the send mail step of the workflow or make use of the report RSWUWFML2 to send the workitem itself to outlook and he can execute it from there.
Hope this helps,
Sudhi

No Reply Function in ESS Business Workplace for SAP Mail

Hi ESS Experts,
We sent a short message using ESS Business Workplace. The receiver of the message was able to read the message but is not able to reply to it. We need to make sure this is not just a settings issue since replying to short message is allowed in R/3 Business Workplace. Is this expected behavior? Is there a way to enable a reply for ESS Business Workplace?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hyperlink in OO-ALV to Sap-Business- Workplace-Dokuments

Hello specialists,
I have implemented hyperlinks to an oo-based ALV-List
( please see sample code later ). Now we have the problem that these hyperlinks only work in a local network-area.
But we have also foreign-departments on our SAP-system, that have no access to our network.
Now the question: is it also possible to create hyperlinks
assigned to SAP-Business-Workplace-documents ?
Do you have a solution for this problem ?
Thank' s in advance !
Best regards !

UWL: The request cannot be started from the Business Workplace?

Hi All
Please assist I am currently trying to execute the standard leave request approval within the UWL.
This is the standard leave approval screen for workflow template WS12300111.
I get the below error in a SAP ECC easy web screen.
The request cannot be started from the Business Workplace
Message no. HRTIM_ABS_REQ066
Can anyone give me any insight to this as I have made multiple changes tothe UWL config.
Regards
Maahir

BY seeing the error message I think you might have not registered the task in the Portal, as you are have mentioned easy web screen
1. When ever you are trying to execute the workitem from the UWL and you are able to See the SBWP SAP inbox in the browser then it means that the task of the workflow is not registered in the portal.
2. Please ask your portal team to register the task in UWL with corresponding visualization parameters.
[check for the parameters that are to be configured|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/20/f0c82c9f6748c58d9ea14b3bbed93a/frameset.htm]
You cannot execute a leave workitem from the Inbox. if you try to execute then it prompts the error message that you have mentioned.
Try to do check all the below points.
1. Check whether the task TS12300097 is registered in the SWFVISU txn it should be using a Java Application. with the parameters
APPLICATION     LeaveRequestApprover
DYNPARAM     wi_id=${item.externalId}
PACKAGE     sap.com/ess~lea
2. Second thing is make the task as General Task from the PFTC txn. so that the agent can approve
3. Ask the portal guys to register this task in the XML file where all the application specific task's are registred. and then try to execute the workitem, this time it will show you the leave request application.

SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 and Business Workplace

Hello gurus,
I'm using the FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 to send emails (massively) with a pdf file as attachment. Unfortunately, I can't see the email in the outbox of my business workplace . Nevertheless all the recipients get the emails without problems. The sy-subrc after calling the FM is 0. Everything seems to go fine except for the missing entries in my outbox .
Any help will be appreciated.

Send spool to SAP Business workplace by a job

Hi All,
I have scheduled one job in sap for a report. I have to send the spool created to a SAP Business workplace's user.
I have made it by the botton 'Spool list recipient' in SM36. The job is running successfully and spool list is sending successfully too, the problem is that the user doesn't receive the complete list.
Nevertheless, if I access to spool order (SP01) and I try sending the list by menu: Spool request >Forward>Send using SAPoffice, the spool list is sending completly!!!!
Does anybody has any idea about this?
Thanks in advance

Hi.
I'll try it.
Thanks.

My i7 rig is with a socket 1156 board, an Asus P7P55D mobo, and an 860 CPU. I know the Corsair DDR3 memory @ its stock 1.65v simply doesn't run at 1600mhz like it says on its box - 1333mhz seems to be its stability wall.
I upgraded my Q6600 and Asus P5B deluxe rig because so many people said to never consider overclocking on an editing rig. Was that over-cautious advice?
