Controlling Substitute in UWL

Hello
Regarding the substitute functionality in MSS - UWL, the manager can set anybody as a substitute.
But we wanted to restrict the manager to be able to select the substitute only amongest his/her peers.
Is it possible and where?
Thanks & Regards
Raghu

Hi,
If you have such requirement i think you have to design the custom screen (WebDynpro) for that i guess.
And you can control the substitution using
The standard table for abap workflow where the substitution rules and users are stored is - HRUS_D2.
And the standart bapi is to define the substitution is: SWL_SUBSTITUTION_DEFINE.
Note: I have no idea of how much it is safe to touch these standard tables.

Substitute via UWL in SRM Portal

Hi gurus,
We have an requirement with the SRM portal
When a user tries to set up a substitute via UWL, if the user trying to create a substitute has an approval role in SRM, the portal will only allow it if the user they want to assign is also an approver in SRM.
Points will be awarded for helpful answers.

I don't think there is a std way.

Employee Search for substitute in UWL

Hello,
One of my customers would like to change the search function that is used when searching for a substitute in the UWL application in the Portal.
Standard, this is a regular search. What is the easiest way to manipulate this search function so the results shows only managers?
-Is it possible to customize this with the UWL customizing?
-Do I need to go in the source (I believe it's JSPDynpage) and change the search function that is used?
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Freek van de Griendt

Adding substitute in uwl

Hi all,
How to add a substitute in a workflow, PCWF in UWL/NWBC a part from business workplace, is there any specific configuration needed to achieve this feature. we are on SRM 7.0
thanks in advance

kiran

Every user should be able to add substitutes for himself from all inboxes. for example settings->workflow settings->maintain substitute in SBWP. or Substitution - Getting Started - Using SAP Software - SAP Library for the portal.
You can do so as admin using transaction RMPS_SET_SUBSTITUTE.

How SRM Substitute in UWL can be sc and Po seperatly insted of Standard ALL

we are using Universal work list in SRM 7.01
As per Requirement Manage Substitution need document wise like Shopping cart. .when we activated the shopping cart specific Substitution Rule only Shopping cart Tasks should be Shared to Nomine. Not other tasks PO,GR,invoice....etc .Standard supports All Tasks. How can this possible?

Hello,
put a break-point inside RH_INBOX_VIEW_CREATE function module.
Here, you will see WI for excluded agents are deleted for substitutes. You could here add your own logic to exclude substitute(s) for tasks not linked to business object BUS2121.
You will also have to manage to not send approval mail to substitutes. For these, use RECIPIENTS_GET method from BBP_OFFLINE_APP_BADI BAdI definition name.

UWL: Manage substitutes - iview pcd

Hi experts,
My client wants to have a new service on SAP ESS / MSS Portal that would link to "Manage Substitutes in UWL". Yes, it is available on the UWL, but it is quite difficult to users understand where they have to click to manage theirs' substitutions.
Is it possible to get this iview pcd (I didn't find it) and create a new service that would link to this application?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
AS

Hi,
yes, what you want to do is possible. As Siddarth mentioned, there is no Standard iView for this particular component, but you can simply make a custom iView.
Create a new iView from WebDynpro JAVA Template. Fill the following properties:
Namespace: sap.com/tckmcbc.uwl.ui~wd_ui
Application: UWLSubstitution
Then integrate it into a Portal Role, maintain Homepage Framework in case you use it, etc.
I had the same problem like you and did it this way, because the Substitutor button on the UWL really is a joke. "Accessibility", eh?
Cheers, Lukas

Substitution rules in UWL

Hi,
Can anyone explain the difference when you maintain substitute in UWL, when creating rule you can choose:
Assign tasks
Professional or disciplinary
what's the difference?

Hi,
The task type Professional covers functional tasks; Disciplinary is used for HR tasks.

UWL substitution

Hi all!
I know there have been some similar questions in this forum earlier, but I didn't find the answer I was looking for so here goes...
Is it possible to set up some kind of filter such that when a manager searches for a person to be set as substitute in UWL, only employees with manager-role will be shown in the search result in people-picker? Alternatively, is it possible to set some kind of restriction such that a person who is not a manager can't be set as substitute? (can BAdI WF_Substitute be used for this?)
Further, we are using Central User Administration to store the users for all our customers (we are using multiclient environment where each customer has it's own client, but all users are stored in CUA which runs on a separate client). As a result, a search for e.g "Jones" will return all the employees named "Jones" even if some of them belongs to a different customer/client than the one setting up the substitute. Are there way of getting passed these problems? We are on ECC6.0/EP7.0.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Geir

Whether an idea is good or bad usually does not depend on the number of "transactions". So what if it is 140 000 employees? As any large corporation it is really just a large collection of departments, not a single large department with 140 000 people. The question about whether they want to prevent regular employees from defining substitutes still apply. The question about whether not someone in the department may be just as relevant as substitute still applies.
I agree one should not necessarily be presented with a list of all employees - definitely not without being allowed to enter search criteria first, but perhaps it would then be more relevant to limit to users in the same company code, or the same country, or some other criteria. The user should in my opinion be allowed to search for any other (dialog) user though. I strongly dislike the Microsoftesque 'we know you don't really want to see all options' way of thinking.
It is possible to make solutions user friendly for both inexperienced and experienced users.

Workitems not showing up in UWL of Subsitute for approve working time

Hi All,
We have ECC 6.0, EP 7.0, ESS and MSS BP 1.0 and we have the following requirement.
We are using approve working time functionality to approve deviations for Employees.The approval is done in single step i.e by immediate Line manager .
The Workflow task used in the CATS profile is TS20000460.
The problem is that we cannot receive the substituted Manager's workitems in the substitute's UWL; we can also see the filters which allows us to filter off the workitems for "My Items" and "Items on Behalf Of.....".
Can anyone help me out with what needs to be done . Is there some customizing settings needed or some other workflow task which i need to use.
Thanks a lot,
Manish

Hi siddarth
Thanks for the reply ..
I understand the point and had already tried doing the Substitution from the UWL itself.But the problem is that after doing the sunstituion and making it active we are still not able to recieve the workitems in the substitute's UWL.
Cud this be problem with the Workflow task . If yes please let me know if there is one which i can use or if there is something to be done with the settings and activation of the UWL's .

Manish

UWL do not refresh correctly when leave request change status

hi
I implemented the standar workflow of "Leave Request"(succesfuly), and the leave request appareced in UWL in MSS, I approved the leave request, but Leave Request is not change the status. But The employee of the leave request watch the new "status" with approved in the ESS option (Leave Request).
I refresh the UWL but Leave request stills appears with status "new", I clicked in the Leave Request (it had already approved in the previous step) and the new window open with error "index 0,0".
My questions are:
1. How I can refresh my UWL? and that I displayed the request approved
2. Why not change your status to approve the leave, if I do not get any error?
thanks for your post and answers
Ivan

implement the note 1501377 which was created to clear the leave request workitems
ensure it is done
and then following settings, In SWU3 schedule background jobs
in uwl administration you can set these
Default Execution Mode: Optimistic
Webflow User Format: Full Name
Default Cache Validity Period, in Minutes: 2
Maximum Number of Threads Created in the Thread Pool: 10
Timeout Value for the Connected Systems, in Seconds: 60
Please check how frequent you refresh your cache
1.,,Open task in the same window in the portal - rather than opening in
a new window when approving and rejecting tasks. This is so that the
actions will be controlled through the UWL UI rather than an external
window.
2.You can configure an additional column on the UWL UI called
isLaunched to mark an item that were already executed and may have been
completed already. This is very similar to the marked as read
functionality contained in an email client. If a user opens a task the
item will be marked as launched. If refresh happens either manually or
automatically then the workitem may be completed (marked as launched)
and disappears from the inbox. If it has been opened but not completed
the launched icon disappears.
3. Is Delta Pull enabled in your system?
Steps to clear the UWL cache
please go to "System Administration" "System Configuration" ->
-> Universal Work list & Workflow
-> Universal Workflow Administration
-> Click on cache administration page
-> Click "Clear Cache" button.

Reg: UWL

Dear experts,
Please suggest me how to do this?
Universal worklist should display most recent Time & Leave workflow items without having to refresh the window.
Thanks.

always the latest workitem are shown by usage of filters or you can use descending order in the column, its more of a customisation of the UWL by the enduser!
now refresh rate

Solution
You can reduce the cache validity and verify
Also, there is something called UI refresh which can be set on the
UWL Iview so that workitems are refreshed.
I have attached more settings which should help you, Please refer it

Eth0 cold plug = ok but eth0 hotplug = no carrier

Hello,
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13, i3 380UM.
I have netcfg installed, but I only use it for wifi with wifi-select
in my rc.conf I have:
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
DAEMONS=( @microcode @syslog-ng @network @crond @dbus @slim @alsa @laptop-mode )
When I boot with plugged cable in eth0, the wired network work without any problem.
But, if I boot, THEN plug a cable, restarting /etc/rc.d/network fails, dhcpcd give a "no carrier" error, and manual addressing with route / ifconfig doesn't help either.
Please any idea?
I saw http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-741147.html but in my case, I have alway separate interface for wired (eth0) en wifi (wlan0)

Hello, this may be caused by PCI power management.
What is the output of
ip link show eth0
If the line contains "NO-CARRIER" even though there's a cable connected to your eth0 port, it is possible that the device was auto-suspended and the media sense feature doesn't work. To solve this, first you need to find your ethernet controllers PCI address by
lspci
in my case the output looks like this:
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06)
So the address is 00:19.0.
Now let's check the PM status of the device by issuing
cat "/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:19.0/power/control"
substituting 00:19.0 with the address obtained from lspci.
If the output reads "auto", you can try to bring the device out of suspend by
echo on > "/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:19.0/power/control"
Don't forget to substitute the address again.

Can the universal worklist refresh automatically?

When I open our universal worklist iview (EP 6), I need to click on refresh to get the most recent task list. Is there a way to force a refresh every time the UWL iview is opened?
Thank you.
Jeff

Hi all,
We faced simular problems. The UWL iview does not auto refresh at startup, only if you press the refresh button itself. Our problem was of course if someone approved an item an returned from the BXP to the iview he still saw the old item. The workaround is nifty an we got some SDN help as well. Thanks again Thorsten Bingmann! The clue is to make a hidden iview on the UWL iviews page. When you start the page or return to this page the hidden iview triggers the refresh button event. One remarkt though. In our BSP for approval we had to build in a 2 second delay at the end. If you approve an item it takes a second so if you return to the UWL page to fast the refresh comes to early.
I can provide the code for the iview if needed.
Deploy as par to portal an create an iview based on this par.
Enable EPCF Level to 1. Hide tray, heading and all other visible iview controls. Place UWL iview on top of page and hidden-refresh-iview to bottom of page to avoid ugly additional space on top of page. You will see solution working if after <waitduration-param> seconds mouse-cursor show working symbol and UWL will be refreshed.
Hope this helps

How do I use Perforce Source Control on a substituted drive

Hello all,
I am wrestling my way through using perforce as an integrated source control package in Labview.
The path has many potholes but seems possible.
My latest challenge:
Substituted Paths.
In a professional source control environment there are many users with many views/workspaces and it is good proactice for each one to have a unique name [user][machine][branchname][myprojectstructure]
Labview is notorious for requiring fixed, absolute paths due to the way .vi's remember their callers, my previous practice using IBM/Rational clearcase was to substitue ("subst B: ." ) the project root [myprojectstructure] to another drive, say B: for example. This makes Labview is happy as the paths are now fixed, the developer is happy as they don't have to check out a miriad of files.
This practice is widespread in the embedded software development world and isn't exactly innovative.
Perforce
Clearcase integrated into Labview works seamlessly, you just point the path to the substituted drive and all is well.
Perforce, not so much.
The setup options within labview whilst being intuitive and easy to use, don't appear allow this method.
Does anyone know how to do the equivalent in Perforce?
Thanks in advance,

Thanks John,
I will see if this works
I hadn't thought about substituting the drive first and then populating the workspace.
I can see that this implimentation requires discipline,
There is a significant danger of refreshing the wrong workspace and trashing modified files.
