Error in SAPLogon executing a Workitem from Outlook.

Hi everyone, I have set the communication between SAPWorkflow and Outlook, SAP send the workitems to the Internet account for each user without any problem. The situation that I got is when Iu2019m executing the Workitem from Outlook and It try to make the logon to SAP, this is what happened:
. In the Outlook message I make a click over the attachment to execute the Workitem.
. The interface shows up a pop up to type the password for the user which own the Workitemu2026..Itu2019s ok so far!!
. Once when I have type the password, thereu2019s a second window which correspond to the main and first SAP window to ask for the initial information (Client, User, Password) but in the bar below, thereu2019s an error telling me that the Client is not available on this system, and the field for the client is in blank; so I have to type the client and the password again(something wrong here!!), but the user still fine.
. After typed all those fields (client and password), the system make a logon and brings me the right transaction and the rest works perfectly.
I donu2019t think the error could be in field SAPLOGON_ID in the variant for the program RSWUWFML2 because I have set this variant several times in different SAP systems with the same information and works fine, for your information, this field goes in blank.
Thanks any help to avoid this error in the logon system and be able to enter directly to SAP system.

Hi Aditya, I really don't understand your comment, I sent you the version as I wrote you before on this forum in this topic (see *), additionally as I wrote here, I've found the solution and It wasn't related to Windows or Internet Explorer, The problem as the note that I attached says that the problem is because the standard SAP function to create the shortcut does not have the right parameter as We need (SY-MANDT).
I think this is very reasonable answer and good orientation for anyone.
Anyway, thanks a lot for all your help.
Regards
Felipe.

Hi Aditya, I'm using Internet Explorer 7, Winsdows Vista.
I really think Windows and my machine are not the problem because I have another Client in which It's working perfectly. So, all the fact point to the Client configuration in some place in SAP installation.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot. )

Approve workitems from outlook

Dear Experts,
I want to approve workitems from outlook. I learnt that we can use Microsoft Duet for this. Can you please tell me whether Duet can be used for approval from outlook for both standard workflows as well as custom workflows. Also please tell me whether irrespective of workflow being standard or custom the features, content and process of approving workitems from outlook, will it be the same for both the case. Or will there be any features or functionality that will be missing or can't be incorporated in case of custom workflows. Will only a link be displayed in outlook clicking on which it will open the workitem or will the workitem similar to that displayed in SBWP be displayed. In caseof link then it will a round about way of approving from SBWP.
I also learnt that this can be done by extended notifications. Can workitems be approved in case of using extended notifications or just notications can be sent using this. Please highlight me in this regard.

Hi bharath ,
You are asolutely right ,there are 2 appraoches -
1) Microsoft Duet
SAP provides Leave Management in Duet .
With duet , any SAP workflow approval step can be handled Through Microsoft outlook .
For this the prerequisites are
a) MS office client
b) MS windows server
c) SAP ERP
d) MS exchange
in Duet the user is logged on to windows and gets validated with SAP,
you can search more on leave management through duet .
2) extended notifications
In extended notification , workflow work item would be sent in MS outlook inbox .User will be asked to provide SAP login and id and password to access the workitem .This will open SBWP for them .
this can be checked using report RSWUWFML2.

you will find a lot on this in sdn .
hope this helps.

Workflow - Error starting workitem from Outlook

Hi,
We have an issue in the workflow wherein, the workitem when started from outlook gives an error"Page cannot be displayed" ( like the one we get in a net browser).
When the same workitem is started from SAP inbox it works fine.
This one seems to be a compatibility issue between MS and SAP, but we are not sure where.
Have anyone already faced an error like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Siva

It might be the SapConnect settings that need to be adjusted. There are number of OSS notes that might help:
3480 R/3 and MS Exchange linking
100232 SAPforms via Internet mail or MS Exchange Server
143640 Business Connector - overview
480685 SAP MAPI: Problems with Office XP
586150 SAP MAPI: Additional problems with Office XP

Hope these help. If they do, please reward as appropriate.

Open UWL workitem from outlook mail

Hello friends,
I have a requirement to execute/open workitem of UWL, which should open from outlook...
I have searched for the same in sdn forum and SAP-WUG, but was unsuccessful to find the exact solution...
I have used 3 technique to achive the requirement, but they are not working and also don't know it is a right approach or not..
1) Maintained the UWL url in SWNCONFIG-> General setting -> INBOX_LINK_URL
2) Configured setting as suggested for Extended notification and UWL in link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/de/ad/d64842d59fb430e10000000a155106/content.htm
3) Maintained link in SWNCONFIG-> General setting -> WD_HOST and WG_HOST
For getting the UWL workitem link in Outlook wich program needs to be executed --> 1) RSWUWFML2 OR 2) SWN_SELSEN ?
I am not sure the requirement is possible or not...
If it is possible then please suggest the right approach and the techniques I have tried are correct or not?
Thanks and Regards,

Dear Karri,
I am very new to workflow. So I don't know why and where webdynpro application is used in my senario... And I will be very obliged to bare with me if I don't understand any terminology of workflow.
I would like to share my complete senario with you.
I have a existing workflow on "COURSE BOOKING" which is already working on production perfectly. And the manager is approving it on UWL for it.
Now the requirement was given like this... I was told that manager has to search the workitem in UWL and had do refresh many time. So they asked me to provide a link or attachment of UWL's workitem directly in notification mail, so that he only needs to click on that link or attachment and required workitem in UWL will open and he/she could make decision.
The requirement is very similary to the notification mail generted by program RSWUWFML2, which has 3 attachements and among them 1 is of Execute Workitem, which open up SAP R/3 inbox's workitem directly. Means he doesn't need to search in SBWP...
So here in my case instead of SAP R/3 inbox workitem, he should open Portal UWL's workitem directly.
Now I come to your question about "webdynpro application launches workitem". I don't know where the webdynpro application comes into the picture...
Please guide...
Thanks & Regards,
Mihir

Error while running leave request Workitem from UWL

HI,
While running the workitem from UWL in MSS we are getting the following error
URL http://sapdev.rediffsap.net:8000/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/ess~lea/LeaveRequestApprover call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available
i.e its is not launching the Web Dynpro application.
As result I have checked the following :-
1) Maintained entries as per SAP note 779075.
2) Alias for the portal system has been set to SAP_WebDynpro_XSS and UWL has been registered with this alias.
3) check entried for Task - TS31000007 APPLICATION - CatManagerApprove and PACKAGE - sap.com/msscatapproval which are set in T-code SWFVISU.
Plus I have also tried the following changes.
1) All the services in SICF are activated.
2) I have tried setting the WEBASPATH to blank and set it to /webdynpro/dispatcher and /webdynpr/dispatcher/sap.com but it does not test the WAS connection as correct, but running the Workitem still results in the same error.
I am running out of ideas now to correct this. Please help.
Regards
Shakti

Rundll32 error when opening a PDF attachment from Outlook 2010

The computer is a 32 bit Win7. Outlook is 2010 for business. Everything was working fine until 4 days ago. Now have to save the pdf to the desktop and open it from there.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The rundll32 error seems to have disappeared. Until this morning I had both this error and the rundll32. All other types of docs open fine. This one will open if saved to the desktop first, but not from Outlook.

Execute SAP transaction from Outlook

Hi,
I want to know whether it is possible to open SAP transaction from out look or not. My scenario is when work item triggers from WF to Outlook, which carry a link to open SAP transaction directly from outlook. If it is possibli plz explain me in detail, what are the steps involved, if not what are the alternative solutions. We are working ECC5.0

Hi Shambu,
First, please remove your e-mail from your post as this is not according to forum guidelines.
It is possible to send a link to a transaction to outlook. It is similar to the executable attachments the extended notification and RSWUWFML2 create. You could check how they do it and reverse engineer for the transaction. But all the users need a SAPGui locally installed. This maybe a problem as the MAPI is used.
FYI the MAPI is no longer supported by SAP, it is not supported since release 4.7 I think. It has been replaced by RSWUWFML(2) which is being replaced by the extended notifications. I think there has been an article about it recently here on SDN.

Problem with opening Workitem from Outlook.

Hi Experts,
When I have have a workitem I receive a mail in my outlook with an SAP Icon. When I click the icon, it opens the SAP screen and I am unable to see my workitem and also cannot close my SAP. I have to close it from Task Manager by clicking End Process.
Could you please let me know, what could be the reason.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Sandipan

Hi,
The workitem is not completed, it can be viewed if logged on to the SAP system externally (not from the Icon in outlook mail).
The issue is it cannot be viewed and the SAP screen hangs when it is clicked from the Icon in the Outlook mail.
Thanks,
Sandipan

BB 8830 Error code 0x80040fb3 when downloading contacts from outlook to BB

I tried many times to replace all my bb contacts with outlook contacts and keep getting this error message. The blackberry support suggest to run a software update on the blackberry to version 4.6.0.244 but when running the "ckeck for updates" the version 4.5.0.175 is the latest. All my contacts have been deleted from my blackberry but none have been added because of the error. How do I solve this problem? Thank you.

Hello again,
Sorry for the delay...there was an event this week that consumed pretty much all free time for many who regularly volunteer on these forums.
I'm not sure I'm following you...when I navigate into the VZW download site (via the 2nd link I provided above), I find they are on 4.5.0.186, so I'm unsure where you are seeing that 4.5.0.175 is the latest from VZW nor am I sure how you are winding up back at the BB site...I can easily get, from the VZW site, a download of their latest OS package for your model device.
Nevertheless, if what you are otherwise seeing is telling you that you need to upgrade to 4.6.0.244, then using VZW is moot anyway since they are not supporting a version that high. Consequently, your choice is to move to another carriers OS package that is at the level you require for the fix you say you need. In which case you will need to research all carriers that provide your model BB and see who sells it -- and then use that 2nd link above to find the package you need from whatever carrier has it. Then, still use the instructions provided in the 3rd link, but insert, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion of a file named VENDOR.XML -- it should be at or close to the folders mentioned in step 2.
Good luck and let us know!

DMS workitem from outlook to portal

Hi,
I have a requirement for DMS.
Once the status is set to customer review in SAP, workflow should trigger and send the workitem to customer(he does not have SAP) outlook(external mail- this is already configured). Once he clicks in outlook,he needs to take to the portal(view of CV02N).Once he changes the status (like approve or reject), workflow should notify some couple of people.
My question is how can get the link in SAP which is used to send to customer's outlook or external system for him to review on the portal.
Thanks
Ashok

Hello,
Extended Notifications are not going to help if he doesn't have SAP. They are mostly used to inform
users that they have workitems waiting for them to execute.

To execute transaction ME55 from Outlook email for WS00000038.

We are using workflow template WS00000038 and task TS00007986 for purchase requisition release. And use program RSWUWFML2 to send collective messge for notifications for work items to Microsoft Outlook email, when the user received the email and double click on the executable attachement, the SAP workflow inbox is displayed.
When the user double click on the executable attachement, We want to execute the transaction ME55 (colective release of purchase requisition) instead of the SAP workflow inbox , is that possible and how to set it up??
Best regards,

Hi EH,
following things to be noted,
1) RSWUWFML2 with one work item option,
2) Presuming you have created a shortcut of ME55 in your log on pad (Desktop),
3) now since standard WF's generally takes you to ME54N, but since you wanted ME55, you need to create a task which would call a zmethod, which calls ME55.
Hope it helps,
any queries, reply back.

Workitem execution from outlook - via citrix

Hallo,
we access SAP via Citrix and we want to execute workitems from outlook (by a decision task).
I use the report RSWUWFML2, the user receives e-mail with corresponding attachments to execute the workitem, but I don't know, how to open them.
Do I have to set up anything special?
Thank you.
Petra

Hi PB,
Are you not able to open/execute the workitem ?
Does it give you error ?
I have built scenarios of executing the workitem from Outlook,
in order to do that, you need to run the report RSWUWFML2 in background, hence create a variant for the report with following checkboxes ticked,
X New workitems only.
X One message per workitem.
X Workitem Execution.
After you run this report in background, you need to create a shortcut of your transaction to which your workitem should lead you.
I mean, say on execution of workitem, you want the user to reach transaction ME54N, then create a shortcut for this transaction, by opening your client thru SAP, going to ME54N and clicking the shortcut button on the menu.
Now, add this shortcut to your SAP GUI LogOnPad.
Note* : you should have all the valid parameters in the shortcut.
Thats all I did.
Hope it helps.
Reward if helpful.
Citrix system wouldnt create an issue I suppose.
Aditya

Is it possible to send a Workitem to Outlook??

Hi,
I know we can send a notification mail to Microsoft Outlook.
I have this requirement for PO Release workflow. the user wants to have a workitem in Outlook inbox.
Can we send a workitem to Outlook inbox? I am working in ECC 6.0.
Thanks
Jayanthi.K

Hi Jayanthi,
If you found the solution well and good or else you can use the report RSWUWFML2 to save a variant and later schedule the report. The agents assigned to the tasks should have the email in the user master record.
The user will be able to execute the workitem from outlook.
Hope this helps!
