Creating UWL tasks in 2004 Portal

Hi all,

Thanks a lot

What ideas are you looking for?
You can create a widget in any number of ways to display this information. The simplest to get started would be to create a widget based on the "Table Widget Template".
Did you need ideas on how to get the data?
If you wanted to get fancy, you might want to create a flex application to show the data and embed it into a widget. The flex app could then be reused elsewhere.

Error when launching GP UWL tasks from consumer portal

In our federated portal network we have configured the universal worklist in the consumer portal to display guided procedure tasks from a producer portal - both portals are NW 7.0 SP14.
All GP tasks from the producer portal are displayed in the consumer portal without issue.
When we attempt to launch one of the GP tasks in the consumer portal we recieve the following error - Could not retrieve process instance: contact your system administrator.
If we launch the GP tasks in the producer portal there are no issues.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

I worked through this issue with SAP support.
For the ItemType with name="uwl.task.gp.XXX", where XXX is the system alias of the remote GP system.
Changed attribute from defaultAction="launchGP" to defaultAction="editItem" because the name of the Action described for this itemType is "editItem".
The action handler that is used is "UrlLauncher" (handler="UrlLauncher") but this handler works only with attribute launchInNewWindow="yes". So in all actions with attribute handler="UrlLauncher" change the attribute launchInNewWindow from "no" to launchInNewWindow="yes".
Uploaded new uwl.gp.config.xml with high priority.

Creating UWL task without any action

Dear All
First of all Execuse me for the posting the uncorrect scenerio in last thread.
This is regarding the issue I am facing, the employee is going to view the Request form, but if he will not do any action ( will not click any button ) the UWL task is going to create in his (OWN) UWL.

Hi,
If the first view is the first callable object in your GP process then a task will get created whenever the user opens the view (i.e. a new process instance gets started). To overcome this issue I can think of three options :
1) you can have a cancel button in the view. On Action of the cancel button you can set a resultstate based on which you can call a Terminate process callable object and terminate the process instance.
2) on wdDoExit() method you can check if any button has been clicked (set a flag on valid user actions). If no user action has been done set the resultstate and cancel the process as above.
3) Don't add the first view as a callable object in GP. Instead make it a stand-alone Web Dynpro project and on button click(Submit) of that view start the GP process by passing the relevant parameters.
Thanks,
Dipankar

Transporting UWL Tasks between portals

Hello Gurus,
do you have any experiences with transporting AdHoc UWL Tasks between 2 portals?
Do you have any idea?
Copy of DB tables?
Use of UWL API?
Thanx
Regards
Ondrej

Hi,
I can help you with this ..these are the steps you need to follow:--
Process of Transport as EPA(Enterprise Portal Archieve)
EXPORT:--
Login to the the portal.
Navigate to System Administration.
Navigate to Transport-->Export.
Create a Folder inside the Portal Content say "TransDemo".
Right on the Folder and Select new Tranport Package and fill in the following properties.
Transport package name (required).
Transport package ID (required).
Transport package ID prefix (optional).
Master language (required).
Description (optional).
Select Objects for Export
Open the object (Transport Package) for editing.
Add all required iView, Page, Role, Workset in the object using right click.(Can directly add a folder also).
Click on to Export button.
After clicking Export Button file name is automatically generated (Unique name).
Export Selected Objects to .epa file.
Download Export File- It displayed how many files it exported.
Click on to "Download Export File" link for download.
Save .epa file in your hard drive.
IMPORT--
Login to the the portal.
Navigate to System Administration.
Navigate to Transport-->Import.
Select .epa file on Destination Server.
Import Editor Select "Client" as source for packages file
Select .epa file (Which is the back up file) Click on "Upload" button
Start Import and Check Status after uploading click on to "Import" button.
Display all imported objectAll iviews and roles are restored .
Just follow the above steps and ask if you have any doubts as i have used this method to transport many roles from one portal server to other.
Also one more thing can be done i.e:-->
If you want to create the same table, then just deploy the same dictionary project in the QA portal.
If you want to transport the datas of the table from current portal to QA, then use SQL to do Export/Import of datas at the database level.
So do some googling on export import db table for your DB and you will find lots of hints.
Please reward with points if you findit helpful.

          eWF.createTask("Title of the Task",creator,taskCtxt,null);
     catch (Exception e)

Work items are not visible UWL task are visible in tracking in portal

HI
Friends
i am new from sap Ess/Mss implementation project...
i am facing an Problem " Work items are not visible under UWL in portal overview page"
but i am configured all the ess/mss related things....and also Created for one user for Requester(send Leave Request)...and one more user for App-rover(Apporve an Leave)..
Requestor send an Leave through portal send it successfully......but i am facing a problem in uwl under work items are not showing in overview page...but in tracking work items are (Leave request)showing.....work items are not showing in uwl TASK(VERY PROBLEM)...
i am configured and also registered UWL IN PORTAL..it is good..

2.SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_UWL_END_USER
3.SAP_BC_ADMIN_USER
4.SAP_BC_UWL_SERVICE
PLEASE HELP ME.
Tanks
Shaik Rafi

Hi All,
In such cases, please try to check as below :
1) Create Leave request work item from Employee and check the same under the UWL Tracking tab of employee.
2) Log-in to swi5 transaction of the respective back end system and give "US" -> manager's UserID -> Choose Tasks to be completed from the drop down -> Remove any date if mentioned -> Execute.
3) Here if you can see the Leave request created, but not on the portal, it reflects some portal issue like sync.
4) If no leave request work item is seen here, then there is a problem in the employee manager mapping or the workflow setup.
5) In such cases, you can try to check the Swi1 and check the log of that workflow to understand the current status of the Leave request.
Revert if further help is needed with more info.

Configuring UWL tasks that are created by a GP process

Hello,
We need help with configuring UWL tasks that are created by a GP process.
In the portal (NW04s SP7), we went to System Admin > System Config > Universal Worklist Administration and then added a System called "GuidedProcedures" with the connector type "GuidedProceduresConnector". But when we goto "Click to Administrate Item Types and View Definitions", the only gp system that we see is "uwl.gp.config". So we have a few questions about this:
1) Should we be editing this XML file (uwl.gp.config)? We were thinking that we should get another config file named uwl.GuidedProceduresConnector.<systemalias>.
2) Does each GP process have a unique ID? If yes, then how do we find that ID?
Any help on this would be much appreciated
Thanks,
Harman

Hi Harman,
There is no button to start a process directly from the UWL for ths simple reason that it is impossible to see a process template in the UWL (but in the GP Design Time).
In the UWL, you can only display an overview of the Work Item. If you want display the form, I guess you use a Callable Object. There is unfortunetaly no possibility to do the thing differently. But, you could in the approval callable object display the input form (or a copie of it) as well as more information. For that, you could have a look at the time-off process delivered with the standard installation.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
David

UWL - Subsitution rules: create new tasks group

Hi all,
When creating new substitution rules in UWL, we can choose between three task groups (All, Disciplinary, Professional).
Is it possible to create new task grouping, and so, group task by task type/ID ? How can I define new grouping?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Cheers,
Olivier
Solved.
Edited by: Olivier Gaspard on Aug 26, 2009 12:35 PM

This can be achieved by maintaining task classes and assigning substitution profiles to task classes as per your needs.
Then you can assign the required tasks to the task classes.
There is a very well explained document on this scenario.
Check this document to achieve what you are looking for:

Creating the hidden iview for refreshing UWL Task

hi
i would like to create the hidden iview to refresh the UWL task automatically.
The event to refresh the task : refreshUwlBackend which is the same when manual refresh link is being called .
Pls suggest how to acomplish this.
Regards
Pravesh

Hi Pravesh,
You can try with KM scheduler as well.
1. You need to set the scheduler from System admin -> KM -> Content Mang ->Global Services-> Scheduler task.
    You can set here the time interval for scheduler.
2. Then create a Portal project from NWDS.
    Portal Simple project.Right click on project.New-Other-Rep framework-Scheduler task wizard.
    Create a java page where you will write the code mentioned by Raju
    portalFireEvent( 'urn:com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.ui','refreshUwlBackend');
I don know whole details.but this is the process you can follow.
Hope it helps you.

Possible to autocreate task from Technician Portal when creating SR?

I have this question:
Is it possible to automatically create a task (and assignment) when creatin a SR in Technician Portal (Field Service)? There is setup for creating automatically tasks and even assigning them to a resource when working in Service in the Create Service Request Form. Is it possible something like that in Field Service?? I think I have the correct setup but this is not happening in Field Service. Is it so it's supposed to be?
Thanks ,

Create BI system in NW 2004s Portal system

Hi,
We have BI 7.0 and NW 2004s Portal systems in place. We tried to integrate BI system in Portals. I followed the same exact steps provided in help.sap.com. I think they are not clearly mentioned for 2004s version.
while we try to create systems, we are seeing 4 types of connecters like
BI JDBC System
BI ODBO-Compliant OLAP System
BI SAP Query System
BI XMLA-Compliant OLAP System
Here our main intention is to enable SAP delivered BI reports in Portals.
Is it not like the previous versions, where we used to give path and WAS parameters and you are good to go.
Here I am not trying to use Visual composer, Microsoft products or any XML based systems. What we can do to enable reports, do we have to use BI SAP Query system? What parameters to include and info like that. Is there a document or while paper which provide these details??
Any help is highly appreciated.
Advanced Thanks to You all
Murthy

Goutam,
I am not looking for the type of connectors info on help, we are done with help.sap.com, You can see in my question, I already mentioned type of connectors.
My question is how you enable BW reports - lets say for example reports delivered in standard business packages.
for that You need to create system right??
How you create BI system in Portals
      - when I tried to create a system in portals, it is giving four type of connectors - which one to select to enable standard delivered content. I tried all 4 connectors, there is anywhere i was aksed to insert the path something like sap/bw/bex like that.
If somebody have some doc, please send it to me: [email protected]
If you have any document or any white paper that would be great.

Email notification when creating a task in UWL

Hi all,
I have email well configured for workflow notification and subscription, but I can't find out why when I create a new task in UWL the email is not send.
Where do I have to configure email notification for new tasks?
I realised that these 2 things are necessary, and also the email configuration (I have the one for subscription and workflow notification):
1.- In System Administration ® System Configuration ® Universal Worklist & Workflow ® Workflow ® Engine ® Engine:
Notify Assignees On Task Creation --> TRUE
2.- When creating the task: Notify On Updates, Completion, and if Overdue is selected.
What else do I need?
Thanks,
Regards.

Hi Iker,
Could you please check the following documentation on the KM side?
The channels need to be configured on the KMC side too, and the user has to have a valid email address set up in Identity Management. We also need to be clear when we are speaking about notfications these are KMC notifications and not the backend workflow SAP Office documents. There is a bit of confusion sometimes regarding this. On the KMC side please consult the following documentation, that my colleague Cathal was nice to provide us with
