I tried it but i am not able to do this...can anybody pls provide the hint for this requirement.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Pavan,
I am confused i your third point.
. In the Approved branch of the Decision step check for the condition , if it fails then raise the exception.that you have define in the Point 1. in the exception branch insert the logic so that the condition becomes true, after that step insert one more decision step.
how i 'll raise the raise the exception do i need to create and task or any other step.
also can you please explain below point in detail.
in the exception branch insert the logic so that the condition becomes true, after that step insert one more decision step.
also i am working into SAP CRM 2007 web UI environment.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Taran

Cancel and keep workitem in ready state in user decision step

Hi,
In a user decision step,there is a default option 'Cancel and keep the work item'.
Now clicking on this option, the workitem goes into "Inprogress state"
whereas i want to keep the workitem in "ready state" after i click on the option 'Cancel and keep the work item'.
I am trying to modify the Process method of Decision Object type to incorporate this funcationality by using FM "SAP_WAPI_PUT_BACK_WORKITEM.
but im getting the error that this FM cannot be used at runtime.
Place where im trying to call this FM:
After the FM'SWU_PROCESS_MANUEL_DECISION'
I am getting the value of RESULT.
If result is SPACE or sy-subrc is not 00 then i am calling this Fm which takes Wi_id of the userdecision as input.
Kindly help
Regards

Hi,
Let me ask you this. Why you need to have this in "Ready" state, Not in "IN PROCESS" state. Anyway, the witem is still there in the user's inbox, and if you have any deadline monitoring, then this is also taken care with "Cancel and keep xxxx". So, i think, functionally you'll still be better with the existing functionality.
And, with all this, if you are still trying to change, then i think it's NOT possible. If i understand correctly, you are trying to use the FM "SAP_WAPI_PUT_BACK_WORKITEM" within the PROCESS method. And, if you understood the functionality of how this works, you are trying to set the status of the SAME witem for which you are executing the PROCESS method.
THe way i understand the behind-the-scenes process, once you make a decision and save, this method is the one which in turn sets the witem status. And within that, you CANNOT capture the status as it is yet to be posted to the Witem tables.
Probably, after this decision step, use a different background task with the above FM to set the witem status to "Ready", BUT NOT IN THE SAME METHOD of PROCESS.
Also, it's not advisable to change this std. method.
Hope this helps you. Reply,if you need more info.

Container variables in User decision Step in BPM

Hello,
I am using User decision Step in BPM.
When i use only text in "Title for Display" the BPM is activated successfully and Status in SXI_CACHE also shows 0.
If I use container variables in "Title for Display" the BPM is activated successfully but status in SXI_CACHE shows 99.
It shows the below error
"Problem updating an integration process with object ID 073AF2C620F43E839B2903344DEE29BB. Symbol 'CE/KO' expected at position 1 in expression ''
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Shabari

Hi Shabari, did you follow the steps for declaration of variables as in [SAP help for user decisions|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/42/c2a19fb4511d65e10000000a1553f6/content.htm]? How did you define your variable?
Maybe discussion [in this thread|BPM activation Error in SXI_cache; can help, it is unanswered though.

Link in User Decision step not showing correctly in UWL

Hi SAP Experts,
I have a requirement to add a link in a user decision step, this link triggers a custom webdynpro for additional input. When I access the workitem from Business Workplace, the link is showing fine. But when I execute the workitem in UWL, the link is not displayed, instead the code is shown (<a>...</a>). Please advise on what I should do to have the link working. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This same thing was just recently discussed. I just cannot find the thread anymore (well, in that thread there was not really any solution). Basically the hyperlinks in work item do not seem to work in UWL as they should. I don't know if there are any way to make them work. My suggestion is to not use the hyperlink at all and replace that with an action (=button) to the task in the UWL. This can be achieve quite easily by simple XML configuration in portal. If you have worked with UWL this should be quite straightforward for you, or if there is a consultant at the site, who is familiar with UWL, this should be simple for him/her.

Looping a single branch in User Decision Step

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me is looping possible for a single branch in user decision step in a workflow?
If yes, How?
I want like to loop the step cancel and keep workitem inbox.
Whenever the user clicks cancel and keep workitem in inbox in a user decision and again executes the WI i would like the workflow to start execution from the step just above the user decision step, i.e; Display PR.
This is my requirement. Tell me how can i implement it?
Thanks,
Raj

Hi,
instead of doing so, you could try to enter that method as "secondary method" or "before method" within the tab-strip "Methods".
If you used your own coding for a decision, you could enable the exception 8015 of the method's result, which is the cancel-button. If you did so, you can enable that outcome in the workflow-activity's definition.
Best wishes,
Florin

User Decision step- Upon reject, auto-popup text for reason

In a user decision step, when the user clicks the reject button, open text for rejection reason within the workitem.
i have done the following
1) Create a new step
2) Create a task based on SOFM.CREATE
3) Binded WIOBJECT_ID => (append table) ADHOCOBJECTS
It works fine, when the user clicks the reject button a new work item with the reason for rejection lands in the user inbox, which when clicked brings up the doc.
I want to make it seamless for the user where as soon as the reject button is clicked, the document <b>should open right away</b> without a new work item in the inbox
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Hi
If you are using the portal/UWL then search the blogs for a solution otherwise give this a try, in your step definition for the 2 steps, go to the Details tab and tick 'Advance with dialog', this will work if you execute from the business workplace.
Good Luck!
Ravi

"You can also" link in UWL work item when using user decision step in workflow

Hi,
Just want to check if anybody has tried adding links to this section in the UWL when using user decision step? I need to pass some custom links which will be calling some webdynpro applications and backend transactions. I have read somewhere that Ineed to modify the XML file but don' t know how the next steps once I have defined (i.e. how to handle those links).
Thanks in advance.
Rammel

Hi Rammel
I hope you are keeping well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
Based upon your scenario you mentioned that:
You want to add links to the "You Can Also" section in the UWL with user decision steps
In an effort to pass custom links (calling web dynpro) applications.
You wish to know how to modify the XML
Ok now based upon the scenario there are two key points regarding XML files and efforts to change them.
Remember that XML in terms of the UWL follow the notion of precedence. Now that means that once you make a change to an XML file you need to re-upload it to realize changes. To re-upload an XML file and realized changes you need to do so with a "High" or "Very High" priority and also ensure that the UWL Cache has been cleared of the UWL Service restarted so changes can be realized.
The second key point is to ensure that you backup all current XML files before making any changes so you can easily revert those changes if required.
Now reverting back to your query, the XML files and the "You Can Also" section. Kindly see the documentation outlined below as here you are going to make changes to the I-View configuration:
Configuring the UWL
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a3461636-0301-0010-3787-978f5ac8bd45?overridelayout=t…

Problem in executing User Decision Step in Background

Hi Gurus,
I have written a method which is called in background activity step to execute a User decision step. I have used SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE fm and have given the value for parameters like Workitem ID , Decision Key.
So the problem is when it is being run in foreground its working fine.
But when it is in background there is no change in the status of user decision step.
Kindly give inputs.
Thanks & Regards
Narin Nandivada

Sorry Narin,
I didn`t get your solution. I`m having the same problem.
I`m trying to call the FM SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE in background and it doesn`t works, however, if I execute it as a foreground, the WI is executed fine.
I don`t have any deadline(time limit) in my WI, even that it doesn`t execute my WI.
Which FM are you calling before the MF SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE to get the DESTINATION string?
Do you do any commit in addition to the DO_COMMIT parameter?
I am grateful.

User decision step agent issue

Hi All
In my WF I get a user profile back from a method that check a ZTABLE for the correct user to receive mail and a user decision work item .
The mail step is working correctly and sending mail to the user (as per the parameter returned from the method)
The problem is that user decision step does not sent a workitem to the correct user .
Any ideas on what the problem might be ?
In the email step I bind to &ADDRESSSTRINGS&.Not sure what the correct binding is for the user decision step?
Many thks
Gerhard

Click workflow log (use any of the log transactions, swi1, swi2_freq swi6 etc)
click list with technical details, shift+F9
find the step, click on it and tick the tab container.
But if you could just answer my previous question about how you are sending the mail, because if you directly use email address then it is of course impossible to use that as agent assignment for the user decision.
A user decision is ultimately sent to a user id
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

User decision step execution from UWL

Hi,
     I copied the standard user decision step and added my own text in that task. My requirement is i have to execute that step from UWL . i need to configure this task in SWFVISU, so that it will appear in UWL. My question is what are the parameters i need to maintain in swfvisu TXn . because this is not a webdynpro application or Bsp Application.

Please check this SAP help [document|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/44/b7047434d91578e10000000a114a6b/content.htm]

User Decision step in UWL

Hi,
I have a 3 user decision steps in my Customised workflow which uses the task TS00008267. Each task has different decison text and outcome. When this is executed through UWl the outcome does not appear as they are in SBWP.
Does this need and Portal Configuration?
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
There are two thing you need to do.
First, you need to configure the SWFVISU.
Run Tcode SWFVISU.
here, select "Task Visualization' and maintain your standard task ( TS ) with ABAP web dynpro option.
Now selct your entry and click on Visualization Parameters as mentopn below.
APPLICATION ( WD application name )
DYNPARAM
NAMESPACE
SYSTEM_ALIAS
Second, ask Portal team to chagne the XML code for the above standard task and application ( i.e. WD appilcation which will be launced on clicking the task ).
From the next run of the workflow, WD applcitoon will be lauched from the protal.
for the old workitem this will not work.
Note : If u do not configure SWFVISU then WD application will not lauch but user will get SAP gui screen for processing it.
xlm code must be changed corresponding task for both case.
Thanks and ragards,
SNJY

Tcode in user decision step

Dear experts,
I have a user decision step. Before the approver can approve or reject the workitem i need to show a tocde screen to him. Say for example CN25. My workitem will be generated only after initiator makes changes in that tcode. I want approver who gets the workitem to see CN25 tcode screen and then only make decision. Is there any possibility to attach or bring a tcode screen in user decision step.

Dear Hemalatha,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
You can direct;y use the Object which is used to trigger the workflow. Then you can bind this object to get that tcode as
attachment in decision task.
This is exactly my requirement. In my BO i have a standard method "display" to display the Tcode. I want to know how should i do the binding from BO's method to user decision task so that i can display a link as attachment of user decision step, by clicking which user can see the display screen.
