Creation of new task in uwl

Hi experts,
We are trying to create new task in Universal worklist.(UWL). But we can't manage or attach the attachments here. It shows the system error. which configurations are needed other than uwl configuration?
Thanks
veeranji

,we would like you to redeploying the uwljwf.sca.
Usually there is no extra config required, check your KM config
The global attachments service is activated in
the KM standard configuration.???
So,we would like you to refer to the following help link to
make sure the service had been configurated firstly.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/ac/
671e405d21c442e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
The redeployment of the UWLJWF.SCA will not affect the configuration
and the user data.

No. of outstanding tasks/New tasks in UWL

Hi Experts,
I need your help in showing the number of outstanding tasks and number of new tasks that are coming in UWL in portal home page.
I need to develop one par file in achieving this. Can you please let me know what services I need to use to get those details.
I need only the number of outstanding tasks and number of new tasks , but not actual task details.
Thank you,

Creation of new task in a different TR

Hi All,
I have a modification to be made to a User exit. When I'm trying to change to editable mode, a new task in the default TR (already associated with the user exit) is being created. but I want to create the new task in a different TR.
is there any possibility of changing the TR (charm already associated with the user exit) associated with the user exit to a new TR (new charm)?
Please help...
Thanks & Regards,
SriLalitha

Hi Sri Latha,
There is option to create the TR for same modification.If you are changing the same modification it will create one sub task under main TR.
SO you can change your modification and under old old TR only.Before going to release the TR,
You can create one empty TR include those modifications in new TR.
Thanks for understanding.

Creation of new task list in CharM not possible

Hello!
I am using SOLMAN 4.0 (SP13 with the newest SP) and the problem to create the task list in Tcode: SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN --> System Landscape --> Change requests --"Create task list".
The following error occurs:
The project is not released. Hence cycle can not be created.
/TMWFLOW/CONFIG_UI017
How to solve this problem?
Any helpful information will be appreciated.
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

Hi!
Yes, the problem was wrong configuration of systems.
Please try the following:
- your systems in system landscape have the right roles
- your TMS configuration is mandant dependent
- you have delivery as well consolidation routes
You can also run the check for the consistency...
You can write back, if the problem still exist...

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
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/3d/b58436b8a911d5993900508b6b8b11/frameset.htm

Handle to a BPM task in UWL

Hello UWL Experts,
This is a follow up thread to the question that I have already posted in BPM forum [Handle to a Task in BPM;. The attempt here is to check if this issue could be simply solved in the context of UWL / rather than BPM.
Here goes the actual problem description.
1. There is a BPM process which parallely triggers the creation of a task (in UWL ) and creation + sending of a custom email form (HTML form containing the same task data) to a user at the same time.
2. If the user approves the task from Email (instead of logging into Portal / UWL), how to automatically close the task in UWL.
On capturing this event can I use any UWL API to close the UWL task? Will a custom UWL connector help in closing this task in UWL.?
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
BR,
Bala

CE 7.2 provides Adobe forms for this and that would solve the problem. Also, the close task event could be triggered in CE 7.3. But in CE 7.1, there is no solution for this.

UWL : New tasks are not getting populated in the UWL

Hi Experts,
I configured my uwl to my backend system , the completed tasks are getting populated in the UWL but the New tasks and in progress tasks are not getting populated in the UWL.(some thing strange).
When i am trying to configure the universal worklist system ,its givin me a caution message as System SHDCLNT012 does not support optimized delta pull . where SHDCLNT012 is the system alias name.
Is this the problem for not populating the new tasks in the UWL?
Please provide me the solution..
Thanks & Regards,
Sateesh

Hi Sateesh,
This message will appear if either the background jobs are not scheduled, or UWL cannot tell that the background jobs are scheduled. The message no longer appears once you ensure the background jobs are scheduled to run via the user id UWL_SERVICE and that user is mapped to my portal user ID UWL_SERVICE.

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:

MSS Approval Report Links to Busines Workflow Task in UWL

Hello All,
I have a scenario below that I'm hoping you can help.
I copied the standard business workflow task "TS31000007: CATS Approval by Supervisor" to create our own task (general task) and link the 'CatManagerApprove' application and 'sap.com/msscatapproval' package to this task in the Workflow Visualization Configuration.
We then assigned this new task to the time data entry profile for the portal. Once, employee released the working time, the task is created and send to the Universal Worklist.
The manager can then access the UWL and open this approve time workflow task. This task is open to the MSS Approval Report (similar to what appear under the MSS > Tasks > Approve Time by Manager).
However, I have copied the Approve Time by Manager to our own and changed some of the order of the column and header text and assigned to the MSS role.
I would like to have this CATS approval task open to the same approval report view/layout as in the MSS Approval Report.
I've tried to change the layout (column order) through portal contents of the standard MSS Approval Report because I thought it was reading from there, but it's not.
Does anyone know how this can be done or where to point to the MSS Approval Report on the portal.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Karri,
We were able to use the launch iview task to launch our specific iview but I cannot seem to get it to recognize the workitem. In other words, when I click on the task in the UWL, my approve working time iview appears but it does not have the data that is from the workflow task item. Attached is the XML code that I used:
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS93000001.SAP_ECC_Financials" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchIView" executionMode="default">
 <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_ECC_Financials" externalType="TS93000001" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
 <Actions>
 <Action name="launchIView" groupAction="" handler="IViewLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
 <Properties>
 <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
 <Property name="page" value="pcd:portal_content/net.saccounty.SacCounty/net.saccounty.approve_ts_data"/>
 <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
 <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
 <Property name="workitemId" value="${item.externalId}"/>
 </Properties>
 <Descriptions default=""/>
 </Action>
 </Actions>
 </ItemType>
I thought the line <Property name="workitemId" value="${item.externalId}"/> would pick up the work item ID, but it is not working. Any suggestions?
TS93000001 is our task. approve_ts_data is our iview. It opens in a new window correctly and goes to the correct iview, just is not the actual task data.
Thank you,
Mark.

Collaboration Room Task - Remove New Task button

Hi,
We have My Task iView on all our home pages which are available to internal and external users. We do not want to give "New Task" button for external users. Is there any way to hide New Task button based on Users or Roles, or remove New Task button from the My Task iView. Please let me know if you know any other solution.
Thanks
Som

Hello,
there is an update in the configuration documentation coming up shortly (In oct.) - it wil be available online on the Help portal.
But as of now, please follow the process as listed here:
also please let me know in case this is not working for you.
Removing Actions From the UWL Display
There are a couple of ways to remove actions.
· You can customize the Views and ItemType (which can remove the actions from all UWL pages, Collaboration, My Task, and so on)
· You can modify the iView and add the name of the actions under the Action to exclude from the UWL property.
See the list below for some of the common action names.
Note: For other actions not listed here, see the custom properties XML files.
in the list below you will see the "Display Text" for the action followed by the "Action Name"

Note:
If excluding more than one actions, the action names must be comma separated.
Note:
Do not add ALL of the above listed action names to Actions to Exclude iView property. Be selective in what actions you want to remove. To determine the action name you want to remove, you can turn on the support information page (see below) and a list of support action will be displayed per item displayed.
Example
Suppose you do not want the Personalize View function on the UWL view. You can remove it by adding personalize to the iView property List of UWL Actions to Exclude.
Turning on the Support Information Section
From the UWL iView configuration, select Yes for the parameter Display UWL Support Information.

Edit the 'New Task' iView

Hello!
I want to know if there's a way to edit the 'New Task' iView from the Universal Worklist iview (com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.ui.UWL).
I want to put a specific USER in the field 'Assigned to' and make it fixed, where the user could not change it.
Is it possible ? how can it be done ?
Thanks in advance,
Alessandro

Hello Alessandro,
New UWL Task iView is based on an WebDynpro application. There are two ways to accomplish your task:
1) Write your own, completely new, application
2) Use and modify existing standard one.
No doubt, second approach is easier.
You are interested in application
tckmcbc.uwl.ui~wd_ui/UWL
(WD Project : tckmcbc.uwl.ui~wd_ui ; Application : UWL)
Workaround is following:
1) download this app. from WEB AS
2) import it into your NWDS, the sources are built in
3) Modify UWL application (component)
4) ... the most challenging point, depends on the access point you want to use your modified app. at.
When deploying, you usually upload your application to "local" namespace. In this case, u have to modify the link of the command (button) that starts the wizard, to point it to your locally deployed app.
Or you can (manually) modify the MANIFEST.MF and SAP-MANIFEST.MF files in result package (ear for WD), to change the "local" key-vendor and key-location values to [sap.com]. Then your application will replace standard one and will be used as default (no need to customize noth.).
For example, we had a request to add "New UWL Task" button to Meeting detail iView (Collabotration). Another request was: automatically set the meeting Subject to UWL task name. To do so, we had do decompile standard MeetingOverview functionality and ad another button "Create Task" to meeting detail page. Then this button was linked to our custom application. If you are interested, i could send you that WD UWL project, we've have prepared (to avoid steps 1-2).

CUP - Issue regarding creation of New SAP ID in CUP.

System : SAP GRC 5.3 SP 12..
We have requirement where in we need to design a workflow for creation of New SAP ID.
The Naming convention followed for SAP ID is FIRST LETTER of FIRST NAME and LAST NAME with maximum 8 characters.
For Eg
JOHN SMITH would have SAP ID as JSMITH
JERRY SMITH would have SAP ID as JSMITH01
The requirement here is when user fill the REQUEST FORM for NEW User ID there is field where in the requestor need to put the desired SAP ID,
Can a validation be set OR Logic be written so that user can put the SAP ID as per the naming convention..?
Also , any other solution as to how the situtation can be handled in CUP...
Regards.
Ajit

Hi Ajit,
Yes, you can maintain the user ID in the Active Directory. User id will be now auto populated in the request form, from Active Directory when we data Source is LDAP -Actice directory. So when user login to end user form to create a request, It's all information( user details + manager details ) will fetched from Active Directory.
It is not possible to change userid in later stage of approval in the request.
You can have security as final stage and guide them to create user manually as per naming convention.
Make auto provisioning OFF in CUP
Kind Regards,
Srinivasan
