Email notification and UWL

Hello Everyone,
We are currently implementing Universal Worklist. For a start we will connect it to several SAP back-ends (R/3, SRM, HR), and in a second stage we will connect it also to others -non SAP- systems having their own workflows.
Currently, each of these back-ends is sending out email notifications (one generic email per back-end each day, with a link to the back-end's inbox). This wouldn't make much sense with UWL, as the user would still receive every day one email from R/3, one email from SRM, etc., but they would all re-direct him to a central inbox (i.e. UWL).
Is there any functionality comparable to RSWUWFML2/Extended notifications running on the Netweaver Portal? Is there any other solution to this?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.
Cheers,
Patrick

Hi Kjetil,
Do you know how the problem was finally solved in your former company?
I already had a look to your post before, but for me the question is still opened. We have a corporate (non SAP) portal which users see by default when they open their browser and from where they can navigate to the SAP portal, in which we do not have single sign on.
So our users will definitely not login to the SAP Portal by themselves (nor to go to UWL, nor to display the homepage).
Maybe that an applet running on the corporate portal and doing RFC calls on the different back-ends would solve it, but I believe that might be quite a burden to develop, especially if we start talking to various non SAP systems as well. A better approach would probably be to query the portal db to look at what is in each user's UWL. But I have no idea of how the UWL data is structured in the portal and how it is updated (i.e. is the delta pull mechanism also running when a user is not logged in the portal?). I am also not sure whether there is an API in the portal to query this easily (i.e. similar to SAP_WAPI_COUT_WORKITEMS). Has anyone tried this approach before?
Cheers,
Patrick

Email notifications and the notifications to the application

Hi,
How to stop email notification so that when the notifications are released, the users doesn't get emails but they should be able to see when they log into the application.
The reason being to restrict the email notifications in the development instance.
thanks

There are several ways I can think of doing this -
1. Change the global email setting (for all users) to NOMAIL
Use Workflow Administrator Web Applications responsibility, navigate to Notifications, then click Administration tab, set Notification Style (in Global Preferences) to "Disabled" or "Do not send me mail"
2. Set a test email address so that all notifications are sent to this test address.
Use System Administration responsibility, navigate to Workflow, Service Components, click on Workflow Notification Mailer, "Set Override Address" button and follow the wizard instructions.
3. Turn off (disable) running of Notification Mailer.
Use System Administration responsibility, navigate to Workflow, Service Components, Workflow Notification Mailer radio button, select "suspend" on right, click Go
Option #2 is recommended

Email notifications and load balancing

We are load balancing 2 OMS's. The problem is email notifications have embedded links that have the OMS that sent the notification instead of the virtual hostname set-up for the load balancer. The OMS's have been set-up to use the load balancer per the OEM Advanced Configuration and from an agent/Web console perspective, everything is working fine and using the load balanced hostname. Does anyone know where to modify the email notifications so the links point to the load balanced URL rather then the individual OMS host that sent the notification?

Thanks, but I was actually asking about the links that OEM has in the email content sent out as part of a notification. (So you can click the link in the notification and it takes you to the appropriate spot in the Grid console). I've since heard from Oracle support that modifying these embedded links to use the load balanced hostname (rather than the individual OMS hostname) is not possible and is something they say they're working on for 11g.

Reminder email notification and task assignment notification from humantask

Hi All ,
We have developed a 3 level approval SOA composite which sends the 1st level approval to a Manager and once Manager approves the request, the approval task is assigned to a 2nd level approver role(Group) for approval and after the approval from 2nd level approver group , the approval task is assigned to a 3rd level approver group .
After the request is submitted and the task is assigned to Manager for approval. Manager receives a task assignment notification (defined in the notification tab of the .task) and a reminder notification is fired after X hours of the task assignment. The issue is, the assignment notification and reminder notification are same, is it possible to send different notification on task assignment and a different notification on reminder.
Appreciate your help on this !
Thanks
suren

The default email solutions in planning are using workflow or task lists, though the task lists are based on due dates.
If you wanted a solution where an email is sent out when a task list is complete, then one route could be to have a business rule attached to a task list and then the business rule uses a custom CDF to send out email notication.
If you are interested in sending emails from business rules then I did write a blog on the subject a while back.

Human Task email notification and IMS

Hi Chaps,
I have a requirement to enable the email notification functionality embedded in Human Tasks. This email functionality presumably emails everyone for that role based on their email information located in Enterprise Manager -> Security -> my relam (?), however when I log into Business Process WorkSpace and try to edit the email address - it states that "Do not use this channel for BPEL User Notification or Human Workflow; it is not stored in the identify management system and will not work"
Does this mean that I have to directly alter the LDAP Directory (somehow?) or will logging into Enterprise Manager and changing it manually suffice?
Any help you could provide would be most welcome!
Thanks..

To know the more details on email notification using human tasks, follow the below link
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/integration.1111/e10224/bp_hwfmodel.htm#BABICIAH
Also, if you are trying to send emails without using LDAP, then simply configure the email driver in */em and assign the roles to whom you want to send the email to.

Vonage email notifications and Apple Mail client

Vonage provides a very nice feature in which, as soon as someone leaves a voice mail message, Vonage sends out an email notification to up to five different email addresses, in addition to sending a text message to a cell phone alerting you that someone has left you a voice message on your Vonage phone. Besides getting just a text-based email notification, you can also opt to have Vonage attach a .WAV file to the email it sends to those email accounts you list in your account settings page on the Vonage web site. I think this is a great feature, because I have my iPhone set up to receive the text message, and I also configured my email accounts to receive the email notifications together with the attached .WAV file, so I can listen to the recorded voice mail messages right on the iPhone, without having to dial in to a Vonage number, or go to the Vonage web site to listen to the voice mail via a computer.
While the Vonage email notifications with the attached .WAV files arrive just fine in my mac.com and my aol.com email accounts, those same email messages are NOT being sent to my the roadrunner.com email account provided by Time-Warner cable, my Internet Service Provider.
When I brought this matter up the tech support people at Vonage, they theorized that the roadunner server might be blocking receipt of the emails sent by the Vonage server. However, the problem does not seem to be related to roadrunner.com, because those email messages actually do reside on the roadrunner server. I can see them all right, but only if I use a browser and check my messages via their Web Mail application. For some mysterious reason, my Apple Mail client is NOT receiving those messages, and I have no clue why that would be so.
Does anybody know what is going on here? Shouldn't Apple Mail be able to retrieve all the messages on the roadruner server? What could prevent Apple Mail from being able to do that? And, is there anything I can do to make those email notifications —with their attached .WAV files—show up in my Inbox in Apple Mail?
Since I thankfully receiving those email notifications at my mac.com and my aol.com accounts, this is not a mission-critical issue for me. It is merely one of one technical curiosity.

To close out this thread, about all I can say is that the issue does not seem to be related to Apple software or to my Internet Service Provider. It is a Vonage issue that can only be fixed by calling Vonage tech support and getting their programmer/technicians to do whatever it is that they to do on their end to configure their Vonage email notifications to function correctly. If something sneezes, as it did in regards to my account, then Vonage tech support is the first place to call.
I'll consider this issue "answered" now.

Email notification for uwl task recipient

Hi all,
there will be no email notification sent, when a user receives a new task from the adhoc workflow of the portal. At http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/89/a91f40337d436aba318fb4920437db/content.htm I read, that only the tracker of the task get a notification:
"...The Java Workflow can provide notifications using either the KM notification service or the JavaMail transport service. Notifications are sent to the tracker(s) of a task..."
Does anybody know, if there is a possibility to send a notification to the recipient, so that he knows that he got a task? without that, the notification is useless I think!
Best regards,
Andy

Hi Andy,
I think, what you are looking for can be done with the INotificationService API: https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/nw_kmc/javadoc/com/sapportals/wcm/service/notificator/package-summary.html
You can send notifications to a list of recipients.

Extended notifications and UWL

Hi Friends,
I am using Extended notifications for sending notifications to lotus notes. In the notification we can maintain shortcut to open the workitem in SAP GUI. But the users use only UWL to access work items.So Is there any way to maintain the link to be directed to the work item in UWL, is there a way of changing this email icon link to point at the portal rather than sap gui. Please clarify.
I heared that this can be maintained in General settings in SWNCONFIG, if so will this be a generic link to access the work list instead of specific workflow task?

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply. I tried to mention the UWL link in SWNCONFIG -> General Settings -> INBOX_LINK_URL and i am getting this is in notification. But i would like to know is there any way to dynamically generate the link along with the task id or work item id so that upon clicking the link the user can open the work item in UWL directly. Please let me know if this is possible or not.

Email problems with BB synched via BES. No email notifications and can't send replies.

This isn't a question, but more of a public service announcement for those like myself that manage to screw up their email settings. I recently had problems with my email in that I would not get audible or visual notifications of new email and I couldn't send replies although I could forward and create new emails. The problem is that I am using Desktop Manager on two PCs and only one is configured to access my corporate email account, the one that is redirected to the BB. The default settings of my Desktop Manager installation was to synchronize the device date and time automatically when connected to the PC. Connecting my BB to my home machine would cause the email problems. I had to wipe and reactivate to fix my problems.
So, if you want to use the BB on two PCs and one is not configured for the email account going to the phone... disable the auto synchronization option BEFORE connecting the device to that machine and launching Desktop Manager. It would also be nice if the Desktop Manager installer had an option to install on a PC that is used for backup/recovery and application loading only. The installer had two options IIRC and your choice was that the BB is used with BES or with a personal email account.

Internally, your invites are processed by the server.
If an outside sends a new invite to you, the server doesn't know about it until you add the event to your calendar app.
You'll find settings in Mail and Calendar apps (depending on client OS) to automatically add invites to the Calendar.
So to sum it up.
Internal users, processed in real-time directly by the server
External invites, must be processed by the client app, and depending on OS/Settings, could require manually adding or acknowleding. Also.. in 10.7/10.8 you will see an inbox tray in the Calendar app, your invites may show up there (and you'll need to click to ack)
Hope that helps.

Email notifications and links in Iphone

This only happens when I try to read a reply to a post using my iPhone. I get the notification that there has been a reply to a thread via a email in my iPhone. I tap on the libk to take me to the thread and when it opens the window, I get a message saying the discussion does not exist. I open the same message on my MBP and I get taken right to the discussion. What's up with that?

It seems to be a bug in the iPhone. Also reported here:

Email notification and SAP Script feature M0001

Hi All,
I have posted this questions in HCM forum but am posting again in ABAP forum since SAP script is related to ABAP development also. I will appreciate your help on this.
I am trying to send a notification to a distribution list whenever there is a specific Action (MASSN). I have two issues while trying to do so -
1 - I have defined the dynamic action and feature M0001 and a SAP script in SO10. I am getting the message in my inbox but with the variables from IT0000 only. In my sap script I have defined fields from IT0002/ IT0041 etc but those fields are coming as blank in my notification. Is this because I have configured dynamic action for IT0000 only. This is how my dynamic action looks like -
0000 06 1 P **SEND IF CHANGE IN MASSN -IT0000*****
0000 06 2 P T001P-MOLGA='10'
0000 06 4 P P0000-MASSN='UP'
0000 06 6 P P0000-MASSG='02'
0000 06 8 M M0001
Do I have to define these configurations for each and every infotype (that I have used in my SAP script) in table T588Z ?
2 - I want to include the position text instead of the Position no. in my notification. How can I do that? Since position text is stored in T582 table and not in P0000 or P0001.
Thank you for reading and I will appreciate your suggestions.

Email notifications for UWL items from the GP System

Hi,
How can I activate the notifications for tasks created in UWL, but by connector type?
I know that the notifications can be activated in System Administration » System Configuration » UWL » Workflow » Engine | Mail, the problem is this will be applied to all notifications from all connectors, and I only want to apply to connector of Guided Procedures, and not to tasks to connector of ECC system.
Thanks,
John

I'm not aware of any setting to prevent the Apple's receipt to be sent.
If you bought a mix of purchase item and free item, the will appears on the same receipt. Instead of considering them as spam, you can consider them as "a way to recall which apps you dowloaded in case something wrong happen".
Personally, I have created a folder called "receipts" and simply send these mails to this folder.
