Error in executing process from the UWL task list

Hi,
I have created a process and assigned different users to different steps. For administrator, Overseer and Owner, i have kept role as initiator only. For the actions of the process, set the value as Initiation defined and in Default Roles tab, have assigned different users to each of the actions. From the URL generated on instantiation, i created a web dynpro iview and assigned it to a role R.
The UWL has also been configured. The initiator of the process is assigned the role R.
Now the issues are:
1. When the process initiator opens this role R, an error is displayed " Page not found or not available", but the process gets initiated since an entry for the same is made in the UWL task list.
2. Even when I click on the task entry in the UWL task list, i get the same error message.
3. Presently if i click on the role R, then only entry is displayed in the UEL task list. Is there a way in which task may automatically appear in the task list of the initiator of the process without him/her having to click the role and then initiate?
I am not able to figure out why this is happening. Can anyone please help me in this regard.
Thanks & regards,
Anupreet

  • How to divide the UWL tasks listed in "Tasks" in different views ??

    Hello, i want to divide the tasks listed in the UWL in different iviews depening on whether they are tasks from the R3 workflow, tasks from the KM or tasks from the guided procedures ; in other words, i don´t wank one iview showing all the tasks together. I want to show just tasks from R3 workflow in one iview, task from the km in another and tasks from  guided procedures in another.
    How can achieve this?
    Thanks in advance!.

    Hi Themis,
    well, you could use the concept of configuration groups. You can assign every UWL system to none, one or multiple configuration groups (see <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/92/a88931f2dd4631b9e8d530697d89c9/frameset.htm">SAP Library</a>). The UWL iView can be limited to show only work items from systems in a given configuration group.
    I suggest that you assign your backend systems (KM, SAP Business Workflow, etc.) to different configuration groups (you can choose the names of the configuration groups arbitrary). Afterwards, create a few UWL iView instances and set the iView property "System Configuration Group" accordingy.
    Best regards,

  • Error while executing procedure from the web

    Hi,
    <p>
    I am developing some procedures that I want to execute from an html form. The problem is that when I am trying to execute it in SQL Developer I got the following error:<br>

    The procedure is the following:<br>

    Does anyone have any idea why I get this error?
    </p>
    <p>
    Thanks!
    <p/>

    Hi,
    <p>
    The function has the following parameters:<br>
    function insertj(jnum j.j#%type, jname j.jname%type, city j.city%type)<br>
    where j# is varchar2(5), jname is varchar2(35) and city is varchar2(35)<br>.
    I was trying to insert the following values:<br>
    j#:='J11', jname:='JobName' and city:='Paris'.<br>
    </p>
    <p>
    The procedure just calls this function with the same parameters. It is very strange because it is hard to see what the problem is. The line 10 is return 0 in the function where I believe the error comes from. It starts in the procedure and then goes in the function body, if I am interpreting this right.
    </p>
    <p>
    Any idea?

    Your SAP Internet Communication Framework Team
    I have check forum thread
    Service cannot be reached in UWL from the ESS tasks
    but I'm not able to find out the solution.
    Any help will be appriciated.
    Regards,
    Mahee.

    i said to you that it shouldnt point to ABAP system!
    read my solution again
    Please ensure system configuration-
    >system landscape->system(my system)->Web Application server settings
    please check is it pointing to ABAP Server, If yes then change to Java
    server then your Application will work.
    The two types want different WAS properties. Now if you set
    up the WAS so that the BSP works well. There is a possibility that you
    can modify the WAS settings when you use WebDynpro launcher. You have
    three possibilities to change this:
    1. In the UWL connector settings modify the "Web Dynpro Launch System"
    property to SAP_LocalSystem. This case the webdynpro uses the URL and
    the port of the portal.>> I think this can suit you.
    2. In the System Landscape create a new system with the same properties
    as the R3_TEST1 but the WAS properties are different. After that you use
    the name of the new system as "Web Dynpro Launch System" in the UWL
    connector settings. This solution should be used if the SAP_LocalSystem
    is different than the necessary WAS settings.
    3. You can modify this setting in the configuration also under the
    ItemType. You should add the system property and the UWL uses it instead
    of the default one.
    Here is the help documentation:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/92

    Hi All,
    we have a custom MDM repository, so I created the xml configuration file and uploaded into SAP system and clicked on "Register Item types" button and I am able to see that my items has been sucesfully registered.
    Now I am using the UWL iview and when I view the connection status, it says that it is sucessfull for the backend MDM system. but i couldnt get the task that i created in the backend system for my user id. I checked the Uwl Log file, The error in the log file is
    "com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.UWLException: (Item) Item is missing from the UWL persistent cache #"
    Also the views that I mentioned in the XML configuration are not appearing in the UWL.
    Could you please help me in resloving this issue.? any help?
    Thank You

  • Blank header appears when validating  leave request from the UWL

    Hello,
    We are using SAP Portal 7.3 and BP_ERP5MSS 1.51 SP06 according note oss 1618269 with a backend ECC6 EHP5 SPS06.
    We are facing the following issue :: "Leave Request Approval screen is poping with blank header".
    This  issue occurs when launching the task TS21500003 from the UWL of the manager trying to validate a leave request.
    See these screenshots,
    [http://s14.postimage.org/dponkbsoh/UWL_issue_1.jpg]
    [http://s9.postimage.org/7si0vfa7j/UWL_issue_2.jpg]
    From NWA and Log traces we can find, but it is not sure it is relevant (due to some other iview not set yet) :
    error : "Item with external id :<000000005010> and system id: <SAP_UWL >: Problem in performing action <markAsLaunched>: Unknown action: <markAsLaunched>-"
    warning : "com.sap.security.api.NoSuchUserException: The given id " "is not a unique id of a user!"
    We tried to follow some recommandations :
    - Tx SWFVISU / Task TS21500003
    - DYNPARAM = LRF_REQUEST_ID=${item.REQUESTID}
    - and from portal : "Universal Worklist - Administration" / "my system alias" / Re-Register
    - and clear cache
    => without success.
    we tried :
    - role : SAP_MANAGER_MSS_NWBC and SAP_ALL
    - we assigned this role or this profile at our user test
    => without success.
    we find :
    - Note 1600953 : Modifications to UWL configuration file in BP MSS Add-On 1.0
    => but we didn't setup this Add-On, so we think this note is not relevant for us.
    to investigate :
    We have also tried to copy and past the XML indicated in note 1600953 for task TS21500003 and it did not solve the issue. We then came back to our initial XML.
    We have configured the SAP_WebDynpro_XSS as indicated but we still face he same issue :
    - when trying to open the task in the UWL, a pop up with a blank header opens. 
    - when using the iview com.sap.pct.erp.mss.leave_request_approval, the system opens directly a leave request without showing the list of requests assigned to the manager.
    Find step by step in this word document and the UWL information trace :

  • Calling a BSP App from the UWL - What is required?

    Hello,
    We are trying to call a BSP application using workflow from the UWL. We are using ECC5.0(ERP2004) and EP6.0.
    I have setup a Std Task to call method EXTSRV:PROCESS and in the task container I have the parameters that the BSP is expecting.
    I have set the task as BSP_Standard is transaction SWFVISU. The visulisation parameters I have set as follows:
    APP_PATH:      sap/bc/bsp/sap/yfi_aa_b_req
    CONFIRM:      
    SYSTEM_ALIAS:  SAP_R3_Financials
    I could not find any documentation on what these parameters should be so I have taken an educated guess.
    The current configuration opens the HTML SAPGui with a generic screen stating that the workitem is in process, but there is no sign of the BSP application
    I need to confirm that there is no other Portal Content Directory configuration required with respect to the Launcher/Handler in the portal.
    Also that the setting for the visualisation parameters are correct:
    Eg.
    APP_PATH "Complete path to the BSP Application"
    CONFIRM "Flag to show a confirm end of step button"
    SYSTEM_ALIAS "The ECC System alias defined in the portal"
    Yor help would be appreciated.
    Regards
    Mark Rodrigues

    Sorry for the tardy reply, we were swamped by a deadline and I have only had a chance to re-surface in SDN.
    Here is an example of the UWL XML config:
        <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS90000117.SAP_R3_Financials" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchWSHanlder" executionMode="pessimistic">
          <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_R3_Financials" externalType="TS90000117" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
          <Actions>
            <Action name="launchWSHanlder" groupAction="" handler="XhandlerLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes">
              <Properties>
                <Property name="webservice_url" value="http://ssisapd3.app.govnet.qld.gov.au:8040/sap/bc/webflow/wshandler"/>
                <Property name="sap-client" value="110"/>
                <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
              </Properties>
              <Descriptions default=""/>
            </Action>
          </Actions>
        </ItemType>
    Hope this helps. As mentioned you have probably worked it out yourself now.
    That Callback URL was very important for sending the terminating event back to R/3.

  • Error occurred moving data from the transformation RECON_SEQ_GEN: to the transformation FILTRANS.

    Hi,
    Today one my task in the DAC Etl failed and when I opened the DAC log file of it. I saw the error description as below

  • DB Connect Load - "Unknow error while uploading data from the DB Table"

    Hi Experts,
    We have our BI7 system connected to Oracle DB based third party tool. The loads are performing quite well in DEV environment.
    I would like to know, how we transport DB Connect datasources to Quality systems? Any different process to be followed for DB Connect datasources?
    At present the connections between BI Quality and the third party quality systems are established. We transported the DataSource from BI DEV system to BI quality system, but on trigerring an infopackage we are not able to perform loads. It prompts - "Unknow error while uploading data from the DB Table".
    Also on comparing the DataSources in DEV system and Quality system there are no fields in "Proposal" tab of datasource in Quality system. Also I cannot change or activate Datasource in Quality system as we dont have change access in quality.
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Abhijit

    Hi,
    Sorry for bumping an old thread ....
    Did this issue get ever get resolved?
    I am facing the same one. The loads work successfully in Dev. The transport for DBConnect DS also moved in successfully.
    One strange this is that DB User for dev did not automatically change to db user from quality when I transported the DBConnect datasource. DBCon DS still shows me the DB User from Dev in Quality system
    I get "Unknown Error" whenever I trigger the data package.

  • How can I move a task from a Summary Task to another Summary Task in the same task list?

    Hey, I tried to move tasks through the SP UI from one Summary Task to other in the same task list, but I didn't find possibility for it.
    Then I spent time to learn the SP Client Object Model and now I can read tasks form the list. I see every task has a "FileRef" and a "FileDirRef" field. If I think right these fields show the relation between list elements for example between
    a Task and a Summary Task elements.
    I changed these fields' values and I tried to Update the ListItem but I got this error message: "Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only."
    I really need to move tasks what were created below a wrong Summary Task so please explain a method or pattern how I can do this. (I can create a new Task below to any Summary Task and I can set field values but I hope there is a way to really move tasks (I
    mean I should change the right field values somehow.).
    I can reach the Task List both on the server and client side so I'm very interested in every solution. PowerShell solution is also good for me.
    I'm using SharePoint 2010 SP2.
    Thank you for your answer and your time. :)

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to move a task from one summary task to another in the same task list.
    We can do it like this:
    We can create a Gantt View for this task list, then copy your tasks inside a summary task, then navigate back to the other summary and paste, then go back to original and delete.
    Here is another way for your reference:

  • How to invoke an other BPM asynchronous process from the BPM process

    Do anyone know how to invoke other asynchronous process from the BPM process without using the Web Service URL?

    Try using a Service task implemented as a Process Call. Then you select the process you want to call, set the associations or transformation and deploy it to test.

  • "An error occurred while restoring from the backup.Files can't be restored"

    My 4 month old MacBook Pro 15" running 10.6.2 lobotomized itself and I had to have a new HD put in it. I backed up the old one w/ TM on an external HD. I've tried (by the book, and with direct verbal guidance from the Help People at Apple) to restore the system and files but every time it gets to 10.2% in the restoration process and then I get this message: "An error occurred while restoring from the backup. Please restart." and under the frozen progress bar is the chilling line: "Files can't be restored." I've tried restoring from several dates on the TM backup list but it always stops at 10.2% completion. Help!

    Hi.
    Start by booting from your SL install disc, and selecting Utilities from the menubar, but before going on to +Restore System from Backups,+ instead select +Disk Utility.+
    Make +*absolutely certain+* that your internal HD has the GUID *Partition Map Scheme* and the +Mac OS Extended (Journaled)+ Format (unless you're sure it should be +Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, journaled).+
    Then do a +*Repair Disk+* (not permissions) on your Time Machine drive.
    If that succeeds, quit Disk Utility, then continue with the full restore (per #14 in the FAQ).
    But if that finds errors it can't fix, it's possible that +Disk Warrior+ can fix them. It's about $100, and is probably a good long-term investment, but there's no guarantee.
    If all else fails, go back to Disk Utility and erase your internal HD, then install OSX. When your Mac restarts, use +Setup Assistant+ to transfer your users, apps, settings, and data from your backups (see #19 in the FAQ).
    Then download and instal the "combo" update to get back to 10.6.2. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959 (or http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1017 for 10.6.3).
    Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility afterwards.

  • Error occurred while restoring from the TimeMachine backup

    I have an brand new HD that I want to restore from TimeMachine.
    Erased and partitioned this brand new drive.  Created 2 partitions and formatted as “OS Extended Journaled/ GUID.”
    Did a “Command R recovery boot” and went through the steps to backup from TM to my new HD.
             15 seconds into the restoration process Msg. reads: 
    “Error occurred while restoring from the backup.
    Restart your computer and then try restoring again.”
    Trouble shooting:
    Luckily my original files and initial boot drive that TM was backing up from remains fine and I performed some more TM back ups as well as a TM backup onto another drive as well.
    I even tried restoring to another empty drive with older backups and backups off of another HD and got the same error message.
    All my BU’s and BU attempts have been within 10.7.3 on the same MP.
    Thank you in advance for any help!!

    These are the four hard drives I am using for troubleshooting:
    1. Internal new 1TB drive
    2. External erased and reformatted 500GB firewire drive
    3. Internal original 500GB drive designated for TimeMachine with               
    ~200Gigs of successful backup (Including entire bootdrive)
    4. External erased and reformatted 300GB drive that I told              
    TimeMachine to back up to for testing purposes.
    I have only erased and reformatted the first 2 empty drives to use as a future boot drive once I can finally restore from my TimeMachine files to one of them successfully.
    My troubles all started when I couldn’t get my cpu to boot from my initial boot drive.  That’s what has put me on this track.  I have since repaired that boot drive with DiskWarrior to perfect order.
    Through a lot of my trouble shooting, I have left that initial boot drive in but have since taken it out.  I don’t have lion installed on any other drive.  Again, my 2 test drives are empty.
    I don’t know how long this old boot drive will remain in perfect order and am glad I have found that I cant use TimeMachine on this side of needing it desperately.
    Pondini- Thank you again for hangin' in there with me.  I think I understand your last recommendation: 
             Do I load a new copy of Lion from this location?:
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12&ls=1
    The suggestion of “coping the installer” is to have a hard copy like I used to in SnowLeopard etc. for a faster future install?
