Decision task: editing layout

Hi,
Is it possible to have some influence over the layout of the decision task. For instance:
- I would like to change the color of the background
- or the color of the decision-buttons
- or deactivate a button in certain cases.
Any input will be appreciated.
regards,
Bert

Hello Bert,
Yes it is possible to have some influence. In your decision step, go to the "work item display" tab. There you can provide a function module in which you can do various stuff. There is also something about the tab page, which I have to admit I have not played with so am not sure what it does. What I do know is that in both cases you're able to use HTML, which means you can change quite a bit about the look and feel.
Have fun,
Mike

Object visualization to open attachment link in UWL decision task workitems

We are using Object Visualization (in t-code SWFVISU) to open an I-view when you click the attachment link in decision task workitems. I sort of have this working. My issue is that I need to pass parameters to the I-view. I'm not sure how to do that. I've seen some documentation on dynamic parms in SWFVISU (DYNPARM) but I don't see that option (maybe we are on an older version). Maybe we can via XML files? I've done Task visualization and edited xml files but I'm not sure if we can do similar code for object visualization. Does anyone know how to do this? Have any samples/documentation?
Thanks,
Matt

Generic decision Task and ABAP OO

I have implemented a workflow using ABAP OO, which has a couple of user decision steps.
Now I have made a copy of the generic decision task (8247) into my own custom task. I then copied over the code from the process method of the DECISION BO into my own custom BO. I then referenced the custom BO in my custom task. I tied this custom task to a user decision step in my workflow.
code
I had to this so that I could extend the functionality of the code to do something specific to my logic. This works fine.
However when I write the same code in a method of my ABAP class and tie it to the same custom task instead of the BO, the workflow complains while activating "TASK XXXXX cannot be used as a decision task".
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Amlan,
What I could figure out from your query is that, you want to use ABAP OO, functionality of classes in implementing a task. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I would suggest you that Let your Workflow work with the BO, because there are certain tasks for which only BO works, implementation of classes might give some problem.

Passing event parameters to copy of DECISION task TS20000118

Hi.
I have made a copy of the decision task TS20000118 which is the standard approve/reject user decision step.
In the decision step, i have a link to ME13 transaction which is done by passing object_id and giving the "display" method as default method for the ZBUS3003 object which takes Info record number as key.
My problem is users are restrcited by PORG auth object in ME13 also and along with Info record number, i have to pass porg, plant, vendor , material to ME13 link.
I have defined event parameters to capture this 4 fields but i dont know where to pass this parameters as TS20000118 where the link appears in using the DECISION object and not the DISPLAY method,.
I dont want to make this 4 fields as object key because it will mean altering many other things. Also, int he DISPLAY method based on info record number i cannot retrieve 4 fields bcos there mioght be multiple records for same info record number.
Appreciate if you can let me know how i can pass event parameters to ME12 link in DECISION step of Task TS20000118 .
Regards
PN.

Hello user12628! I have the same problem. Did you solve it? I have dynamically generated size of my Event Parameter String[] mass. And some times I have Error that URL string very long :). That is why I want to use POST method instead GET. if you has found solution,please let me know.

SRM 7.0 Generic decision task

Hi,
Is there an equivalent workflow task in SRM to the generic decision task in ECC? or, is it possible to use the standard deleivered task in SRM workflows?

Is it possible to disable the 'edit layout' link on the record detail page

Is it possible to disable the 'edit layout' link on the record detail page? Not the homepages, I know there is a switch for that, but I thought there was one for the detail pages?
I want to disable this as I dont want users saving their own layouts, they must stick to the related sections defined in the default layout. The problem is that if they are to have access to certain related lists when an opportunity is of a certain type but NOT other types. If they have saved the layout (using the 'Edit Layout' link), and change the record type, they will see related sections that have been set to 'Not available' in the default layout (ie step 4) for that 'type'.

Robbo, at this time it not possible to disable the Edit Layout on the record detail page.

HREF in user decision task not working in UWL?

Hi All,
We're on ECC6 and portal version 7.01 SP4.
My problem is that I have defined a link in the body of a user decision task like so..
<A HREF="http://www.google.ie/" target=_blank> GOOGLE </A>
and while in appears as a link in the task in the UWL, clicking it does nothing. When I check the properties of the link, I see that it's actually javascript:void(0);, so hence it doing nothing.
Can anyone give me any guidance on how to get a link working in a user decision task in the UWL?
Thanks in advance,
Liz.

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for the respnse, I've since figured out that what I was trying to do was not possible. I have impleneted a workaround myself, where I just added an extra button action in the UWL.
Many thanks,
Liz.

Decision task not appearing in UWL

Hi All,
I am not able to see my decision task TS12000025 in UWL however I could see in business inbox in backend. Does anybody have any idea ?
Appreciated.
-Bijay

Hi Bijay Kumar,
In SWFVISU transaction you have to add this things.
1. Task--Give the task id which has to be sent to the UWL
2. Visualization--How you are going to view the screen (using java web dynpro) so give as Java web dynpro.
3. Screen id--For which screen your are going to assign this task.
4. Application ID--While you activate a web dynpro screen it will be providing a application id this has to be done in dynpro side and give that number in this parameter. After that if your activate the dynpro it will be giving the new application id so you have change the old id to the new one in SWFVISU transaction.
Thanks and Regards

Need Help: Workflow Decision Task not visible in NWBC for customer Task

Hello All,
I am new to NWBC configuration , need ur expert knowledge for the below issue. I have checked the treat . Approve/Reject button for SRM Approval for RFx response ,but not able to get the exact steps for the configurations in NWBC.
Requirement.
     We are working on SLM/SRM module, where we have requirement to create a custom workflow with custom Task for which we have executed below actions.
Created the Custom Workflow.
Created the custom Task with custom ZCLASS and ZEVET.
Created   Event linkages in SWE2.
After doing this we are getting the workitem in the NWBC, currently we don’t have the Portal system in place, so we are using the NWBC for all our testing.
What is the issue?
     When we select the workitem in the NWBC (UML) inbox , the Decision Task ie “Approve” or “Reject” button are not visible , where as for SAP standard Task buttons are visible.
What help we need?
When we cross check the SCN/IBM portal, found that we need to do the XML file configurations. Can you any one kindly let us know the steps we need to follow to achieve our functionality.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Thanks and Regards
Channa

You need to share the details of what Inbox you are using, configuration steps depend on it. If you aren't using portal, you aren't using UWL and there is no UML inbox. You need to get your facts straight. Most likely you are using the Business Workflow Inbox (SWF_WORKPLACE) or the Lean Inbox (IBO_WDA_INBOX). Both are based on Web Dynpro ABAP and POWL but the configuration is different. Regardless, you posted this in the wrong space. Correct space is either SAP NetWeaver Business Client or Web Dynpro ABAP.

Not able to open "requested end" in user decision task.

Hi All,
In the user decision task, i have specified the value as +5 day in the "requested end" tab. When i executes the WF, and checks in the workflow log of work item, it shows that user decision step as logical deleted. I open that step on developement server, there value is fine as +5 day, then i tried to open that step on quality server where i am testing, when i clicks on that tab button it displays an error message at bottom of the screen "No Unit with the desired conversion factor is maintained", and with in 1 seconds it came out to initial screen of SAP.
I checked the TR, it is imported correctly.
where can be the issue then ? why i am not able to click on that tab in that user decision task, its very strange, i faced this kind of issue first time.
if you have any idea about that why it is happening then please reply.
Regards,
Raman.

Check SWU3 is properly maintained in your quality server.

How to display Material in decision task?

Hi Experts,
I want to display a material data in a WF decision task. In the spec they ask a "link".
I think the only way to do this - without process the workflow - is to create an attachment, with the Business Object: BUS1001, and with the material number as key. (Of course if you know something better, than it is also good for me)
I have a program which starts the WF, and I want to fill up the WF container from this program.
Please help me in, how should I write the code, if I know just the material number?
Please give me code sample if it is possible.
Thanks in advanced, Csaba.

Hi,
I am not sure how to the display method behaves in the BO BUS1001. You can try using that.
Or a work around solution would be create a custom method. In that
you set the material number field in the MM03 screen with the object-key.
Then use call transaction 'MM03' and skip first screen.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Raj

Discoverer viewer 10g without edit layout

Hello,
I'm using Discoverer 10. The old version I used when viewing the books at firefox the user could select a button of 'edit layout' so that he could change the table. In this new version I can not find that button. Any idea?

Hi,
You now have to use the Enterprise Manager to change the viewer look and feel. See here for details.

Regarding creation of generic user decision task in workfow

Hi,
Can any one please guide me how to create generic user decision task in workfow?

Hello,
Just go into the workflow builder and create a new step. Choose a Decision Step and it will make one with the generic decision task, TS00008267. Just fill in what the options are and who it should go to. The task text starts with the very generic:
Choose one of the decision options given. This completes the
processing of this step.

Remove optinos in user decision task dinamically

Hi all,
I have an user decision task wich have several options. I want to remove (or deactivate) some of these options dinamically or under some conditions...
Do you know how can i do it?
May be it's possible to do with a program exit but i don't find any method in the class for do that.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Finally, I had to do it. I put the steps in case anyone is interested:
- Create a Decision Task in workflow builder. Replace the Task used in Control tab by a custom one. You need to create a copy of the standard task 00008267. In my case I've created the task 99000001.
- The FM to get the options and texts is SWU_GET_DECISION_TEXT_TITLE. We need to create an enhancement point at the end of this FM. I've created a method in a custom class to embed all my code:
TRY.
CALL METHOD zcl_im_wf_dec_task=>zz_mod_decision_task
    EXPORTING
      wiid             = wiid
    changing
      ct_decision_text = decision_text[].
CATCH cx_root.
ENDTRY.
- This method has the following parameters:
WIID                     TYPE SWW_WIID
CT_DECISION_TEXT     TYPE ANY TABLE
With the following code you can change the description of the options you want or delete some options dinamically:
DATA: l_wi_handle TYPE REF TO if_swf_run_wim_internal,
      lo_wi_dialog TYPE REF TO cl_swf_run_wim_dialog,
      lo_container TYPE REF TO if_swf_cnt_container,
      ls_wi_head   TYPE sww_wihead,
      lv_key       TYPE sww_wi2obj-instid,
      lv_bstyp     TYPE ebstyp.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <ls> TYPE ANY.
* Obtain the header:
TRY.
    CALL METHOD cl_swf_run_wim_factory=>find_by_wiid
      EXPORTING
        im_wiid     = wiid
      RECEIVING
        re_instance = l_wi_handle.
    lo_wi_dialog ?= l_wi_handle.
    ls_wi_head = lo_wi_dialog->if_swf_run_wim_internal~m_sww_wihead.
CATCH cx_swf_run_wim .
CATCH cx_root.
ENDTRY.
* Read the container (if you want...):
TRY.
    CALL METHOD lo_wi_dialog->if_swf_run_wim_wfm~get_wi_container
      RECEIVING
        re_container = lo_container.
CATCH cx_swf_run_wim .
ENDTRY.
* Read the Key:
SELECT SINGLE instid INTO lv_key
FROM sww_wi2obj
WHERE top_wi_id EQ ls_wi_head-top_wi_id.
* In this example is a workflow for PO;
SELECT SINGLE bstyp INTO lv_bstyp
FROM ekko WHERE ebeln EQ lv_key.
* Depending on the Task;
CASE ls_wi_head-wi_rh_task.
* Authorize
WHEN 'TS99000001'.
    LOOP AT ct_decision_text ASSIGNING <ls>.
*       The first 4 characters are the number of the option.
*       The following characters are the description.
*       Delete an option;
      IF <ls>(4) EQ '0001' AND lv_bstyp EQ 'F'.
        DELETE ct_decision_text INDEX sy-tabix.
        CONTINUE.
      ENDIF.
*       Change the description:
      IF <ls>(4) EQ '0002'.
        IF lv_bstyp EQ 'K'.
          <ls>+4 = 'Authorize'.
        ELSE.
          <ls>+4 = 'Continue with the process'.
        ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
ENDCASE.
