EP7 UWL Substitution - Is it possible to Default to "All items"

We have just implemented EP7 and have a question on UWL Substitutions.
On the EP7 UWL iView a radio button selection box appears at the top if you have been set as a substitute by a colleague.
By default this selection is set to "My Items" with the other options available being "Items on Behalf of <colleague>" and "All Items".
My question is, can this be set to be "All Items" as default and if so how?
Any help you can provide will be greatly received and happily rewarded with points.
Regards,
Steve.

Hi Larry,
We did receive a response but it was passed on to another department post upgrade so I am not sure it has been tested/implemented yet:
<b><i>The view above does not contain customisation
with regards to the priority of 'Work on', 'My Items', ....'All Items'.
Therefore the priority of these will be the default as per the
uwl.standard.xml. This xml contains all of these views for example
<View name="AllItemsView" ........etc.
You will have to make a copy of these views associated with each
radio button and place them in the order you wish to have them displayedor assign the necessary priority to each.
However this is regarded as customization and is not supported
by SAP.</i></b>
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Steve.

UWL Substitution Changes

Hi,
I am working on portal version EP7 SP 10. We can navigate to Create Substituion Rule screen by
UWL iView -> select Manage substitution -> Click on create Rule button.
I need to incorporate following changes in this Screen(view):
1) Changes in "Assignee" (field with search functionality) and "Assign These Tasks" (it is a drop down box) order.
Under Standard Implementation, we have "Assignee" as 1st field and "Assign These Tasks" drop down is 2nd field.
According to requirement, we want "Assign These Tasks" drop down as 1st field and "Assignee" field as 2nd field.
2) Once user select a Task from "Assign These Tasks" drop down. We have search functionality to select Assignee. The search functionality should fetch the data, for selected task. for eg. If user selects HR Tasks(this is custom task), then in search functionality should search all possible users who are eligible for HR task should be displayed.
UWL substitution component is based on a Web Dynpro application(tckmcbc.uwl.ui~wd_ui/UWLSubstitution). I have downloaded source code for this component from portal server.
I am having following question :
1) Is is feasible to change this code? Does SAP recommend it ? Anyone have already changed some part of this Web Dynpro component?
2) For my 2nd requirement, one useful OSS note(977069) is available. I am unable to find documentation for function modules(SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUTE_MAINTAIN, SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUTE_DELETE, SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUTE_PROF_GET). Can you please help me in finding documentation?
Thanks in Advance!!!
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Shrikant,
I have never worked with Substitution an rules etc.
As far as ur first question is concerned I am almost sure that u can not change a .ear file( A WD appln).
Only .pars can be changed. i would suggest u not to waste ur time trying this. Its better to find another way around.

UWL Substitution People Picker

Hai,
I want to restrict the list of selected users depended of the user which uses the people picker within the UWL substitution functionality. I have asked this question to SAP and they said that it isnt possible. Does anyone now a workaround, because many customers find it not acceptable that an user can selected anyone he or she likes.
With kind regards,
Remco van de Looy

Hi,
The workaround that always worked for me is to explain to the customer why there is not really a need for this. Think about it, you're trusting someone to approve $$$s, but you don't trust them to assign a suitable sub.
From a legal and SOX point of view, the accountability still rests with the person who assigned the sub, SAP is very deliberately designed such that there is no substitution maintenance functionality in the standard system - ONLY the user themselves can assign a substitute.
For the few customers that insist, you will have to write your own which isn't that difficult. Use table HRUS_D2 - you can maintain that directly without a problem. The actual rules of who can be a substitute is where things get messy.... You may allow people to delegate po approvals down the chain but HR related approvals upwards only. How exactly are you going to implement these things? Or the sales rep who works for one manager and reports to another? It's far easier and sensible to trust people with a lesser responsibility (picking a suitabnle sub) than what you're already giving them with workflow (approving POs, leave requests etc.)
Hope that helps,
Mike

Is it possible to create a new tab in 'Default settings for items' option?

Hi everybody
I am Raghu working in EBP2.0 & I have come across a difficlty and that is of creating a new tab and also the fields 'GL a/c', 'cost centre' or 'internal order' in this new tab.
First of all please let me know whether is it possible to create a new tab for these fields.
The purpose of this new tab is to default the cost centre and GL account with reference to shopping cart.
As per current scenario, user has to enter the cost centre & the GL code as many times as the number of items in a shopping cart. I mean, if you have 10 items in your shopping cart then 10 times user has to input the cost centre & GL account. To avoid this we are required to add new tab so that per shopping cart we can enter the GL account & cost centre only once.
Your immediate response would be very much apprecited.
Regards
Raghu

hi Ram & Sreenivas
Thanks for your immediate response.
Ram, we can default GL a/c & cost centre in org structure since client wants to us to keep the option of entering these for every shopping cart.
Sreenivas, I checked the 'copy to clipboard' option & its not there in EBP2 and I feel what you meant as cost centre tab is account assignment tab.
Let me explain you more clearly about this requirement.
Current Scenario
1.Say a user has added 5 items to his SC.
2.User has to enter cost centre & GL code 5 times & then he can order
Required scenrio
1.Say a user has added 5 items to his SC.
2.As per the proposed functionality, user will click on 'Default settings for items' button. Three tabs will appear-->Basic data, Internal note & Delivery Address.
We have to provide a new tab here where in user will default his GL & cost centre for this shopping cart & then order. This will help user to avoid entering GL & cost centre 5 times.
For some reasons our client is not interested in defaulting this data.
Please help in this regard if time permits.
Thanks
Raghu

UWL Substitution not working

Dear all,
We have a problem with UWL Substitutions. We have a backend SRM 7.0 system and the users are trying to do substitutions with the option 'Receive my tasks'. When they do this, the substitutes do not receive all the tasks, but only 4 of them.
We check the SWWUSERWI table and we see 30 tasks assigned to the 'boss' and only 4 of them assigned to the 'delegate'.
We have also checked that HRUS_D2 table is correctly updated with the substitution.
Do you know why the tasks are not being updated with the UWL Substitution?
Is there a way to manually update SWWUSERWI with substitutions rules?
Thanks in advance and regards,
Sergio Martinez

Hi Manchari
I hope you are well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
In relation to the scenario that you have described you mentioned wanting to restrict the external users being displayed for Substitution in Internal Portal. You have setup the UME property and People Renderer Profile, Trusted Attributes settings as per the documentation.
Now in relation to the above could you kindly confirm that after making these changes did you perform the following:
Clear the UWL Cache
Restart the UWL Service
Now regarding the document you referenced this is the official way that we recommend customers to restrict the people picker. Unfortunately there really isn't another supported way to achieve this. We just read all users back from the UME/LDAP, etc. However, the solution in the blog was signed off by our development team as an achieveable way to restrict the people picker so long as KMC is running on the portal.
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BPX/Enhancements+to+the+Universal+Worklist+People+Picker
In NW 7.01 the people picker functionality is provided by a KM component that supports company related functionality. In NW 7.30 UWL no longer uses KM PP. Instead it uses native PP that lacks company related features.
Kindly ensure the configurations as per the documentation are configured and setup correctly as the smallest discrepancy may be causing this undesired behaviour:

Customizing UWL Substitution WD

Hi All,
We have a requirement to customize the delivered UWL Substitution funtionality. I have downloaded the ear file from the portal server and built a new custom DC project from it. In order to build the new UWL/Subst DC I had to add some external jars. I created an external library dc project to hold all the jars. This component is not a deployable component, so I built a J2EE server component of type external library and added the public parts from the external library DC as used DC and deployed to the server.
Then I added the public part of the J2EE server component DC to the UWL/Subt DC, and now the application builds successfully.
The problem is when I try to deploy the UWL/Subt DC , I get an error. I tried various ways of referencing the dependencies, but still get the same error. I have made sure from the visual admin, that the deployed libraries are available on the server. This is the error I get.
deployment aborted : file:/C:/DOCUME1/XXXXX/LOCALS1/Temp/temp33433XXXXXXXXXuwl~sub.ear

Hi Bala,
I tried what you have said, but that does not help. I have deleted all the unwanted applications and created a new application with a diff name and deployed, still get the same error. Any other places to check.

A problem about UWL substitution and GP

Hi, Guys.
Can UWL substitution mechanism also include gp task? I have some gp tasks in my uwl. When I set someone as my substitution, all of my tasks can be seen by my substitution(besides gp tasks). Is it a system restriction or just I need to do some configuration?
Thx.

UWL substitution and RMPS_SET_SUBSTITUTE in backend

Hello group,
I read a thread posted to this forum:
Re: UWL Substitution Rule- User Search
It states among others:
"If you are using the UWLfor workitems instead of the SBWP transaction, then you will need to maintain substitutions only through the portal.".
Does this mean that you cannot use tcode RMPS_SET_SUBSTITUTE from backend when using UWL?
From what I can see, they both update table hrus_d2. But there may be other implications that I do not see?
Br
Kirsten

Hi,
you cannot use tcode RMPS_SET_SUBSTITUTE from backend when using UWL?
From what I can see, they both update table hrus_d2. But there may be other implications that I do not see?
I think if you use tcode in backend for substituatiion,user should do in backend only and it may not be available in portal.If you do substitution directly in portal,it will reflect correctly in both portal and backend,
You can try both options with tes workflow and see difference.

UWL substitution with multiple systems

Hi all,
I need some help in understanding how an UWL substitution works with multiple systems.
We are using ESS, MSS and SRM workflows and use UWL for all workflow scenarios.
All users are using ESS, all managers are using ESS, MSS and SRM.
In the UWL configuration we defined a role base connection to the backend systems. ESS users can only make a UWL connection to R/3 and not to SRM, manager can make a connection to all systems.
The problem occurs when a manager assign an other user (not a manager) to manage his of her tasks in case of absence. Because the manager also has the rights to make a connection to the SRM system, the UWL tries now to make this connection with this delegated user. Because the user has no rights to make a connection to SRM an error is generated and no tasks at all are displayed in the users inbox.
If we grant the user right to make a connection to the SRM system, also an error is generated because this user has no user account on SRM.
Is this a normal behaviour, we only want the user to manage all the managers tasks on R/3 and not on SRM because he/she has no authorisation to do so.
Kind Regards,
Evert Schuiteman

I think this will require a separate development as I feel the forwardind table HRUs_D2 stores only user Id and if you need to set som Personnel number as substitution then the devt. should take care whether any user Id is attached to the the PERNR and then set the substitution.
Thanks

Is storing ALL Laserjet jobs possible (by default)?

I'm interested in storing ALL jobs printed to our new LaserJet P3015N to the on board memory.
I have an EIO drive on order too.
But, I'm not sure where the setting is to do this.
I **DO** see in the print dialog where I can tell it to store the job... But, I want to skip that and store EVERY job we print to this particular printer (for legal and liability reasons having to do with discovery... long story).
Is what I'm wanting to do possible? URLs or pointers to the "how to" will be VERY appreciated.

Not really. You can start Firefox in the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode?esab=a&s=Safe+Mode&r=1&as=s SafeMode], but you would need to restart Firefox to enable your addons.

Firefox often runs quite slowly but resetting appears to solve the problem. I tried to identify any problmatic addon but was unsuccessful

Set as default value the Item Category in the Maintenance Order

Hello everyone,
We are trying to find a user exit in order to set as default value the item category in the Maintenance Order once the Material has been introduced (Tag Components).
SAP Customizing let the user set the Item Category automatically per Material Type, but we need to set different Item Categories to materials belonging to the same material type.
We would really appreciate any help relating this issue.
Thank you very much,
Víctor Liedo

Dear Paul,
Thank you very much for your response.
I had already tried customizing mentioned by Pithan, but it did not work because we need to set different Item Categories for Materials with same Material Type.
We have been searching for exits which may let us set Item Category in the Maintenance Order, but it does not seem to be possible.
What you say about adding some custom validation through user exit, not to set item category as default value, but to check if the one entered is valid, sounds the best way of achieving our commitments.
I have tried to look for CNEX0037 & CNEX0038, by using transactions SE37 and SE38, search for programs and functions modules, but it did not work. Could you please tell us what kind of objects are?
Thank you very much in advance.

Make iPhone default to "All Inboxes"

This is really very annoying. After updating the OS on my phone it won't default to "All Inboxes". It defaults to the mail account at the top of the list of accounts. I've tried removing all the mailboxes but even then it doesn't default to the one I want anyway, doesn't matter the order I put them in at.
Apple please fix this, it's sooooooo flipping stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm at the latest release but this started happening somewhere aroung the 4.1 release.

Allan,
Yes, you are correct in everything you said. I should have been more detailed. My apologies.
I want my mail app to open to this screen, which it used to. I was referring to it by the incorrect name. Not all inboxes but to all my mailboxes screen (see image). Leaving the app open on this screen, moving to another app, and then returning to the mail app is fine. However, when I close mail and relaunch, it will open to the inbox of the first account listed, which is Gmail.
I'd like to add, Allan, that you acutally made me away of a possible solution to this issue if no true fix isn't available. I like this screen because I get to see how many messages are in which account and prioritize accordingly. However, I could do as you suggested and keep my mail open to "all inboxes". I see all my mail, but I can still decide which messages to prioritize without reading them. It isn't THE solution I was looking for, but is A solution until Apple fixes it. Thanks!

Set default for all controls

How do I set a default for all controls?
For example, I want the label to always appear on the left. Instead of setting the control attribute for each LED separately, I'd rather set a default to be applied to all LEDs.
I'd prefer to do this programmatically.
Thanks!!!

Hi,
one possibility is to use the function call SetAttributeForCtrls from the programmer's toolbox library.
Another, to generate the controls programmatically - if you are using your own functions to do so you can define the default as to your liking.
