ESS Leave Request in UWL not launching

Hello,
We are trying to configure ESS\MSS, and currently stuck at the step of Leave Request\UWL configuration.
u2022 We have configured UWL with the backend system (WebFlow Connector). We can register the system successfully.
u2022 In IMG, we have set the u201CProcess Request Using Workflow: u201C: 12300111
Once a user fills out a leave request, We see the following in the UWL ([SEE IMAGE|http://www11.speedyshare.com/files/21590441/download/LeaveRequest.jpg])? We do not see any option to launch WebDynpro? And why does the item text states u201CGeneral Workflow for Documentsu201D instead of u201CLeave Requestu201D?
Thanks,
Rob

Hello,
I donu2019t see any items in the Tasks tab, the way Iu2019m testing is on the u201CTracking" Tab of the person that have made the Leave Request. When I click on the item in UWL, it does not open up any Web Dynpro. I've checked the Tasks in TCode SWFVISU, and WDynpro Java is defined.
Below is a part of my UWL definition file:
=================================================================
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS12300116.SBX" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="default">

ESS/MSS: Approve Leave Request in UWL - not working

Hi to all,
we are using web dynpro ESS/ MSS (SAPESS07_12/ SAPMSS07_4) in portal NW04s for mySAP ERP2005 and are using UWL in order to approve leave requests. If employees are creating leave requests, everything works fine. After that the manager opens the leave request in UWL, the web dynpro application is openening succesfully and after some clicks he reaches the buttons to approve or reject the leave request. But by pushing one of them the following messages occures :
Workitem 000000000000 Cannot be read
After pushing the button again, another message comes up:
No Customizing for status typ ARQ, Status approved...
By the way, the same errors also come up when the employee wants to delete his leave request which is not approved.
Any ideas, what can be the reason?
Regards,
Frank

Hi Ashutosh,
I have found the reason. The user WF - Batch in sap erp, which is using the RFC Destination for workflow, was locked. Well, it is a a little bit strange for a cummunication user that he becomes locked. Unlocked him, now all works.
Thanks for your support.

ESS Leave Request Approval Not working

Hi All,
We here have ESS1.0, ECC 6 and EP 7 on NW2004s.
Problem which i am facing is in Leave Request.
An employee enter his leave details and send it to its boss.
and the boss check the same in his UWL uptil this its working fine.
But when the boss click on the Leave request in UWL to approve or reject the same then error comes.
The error is "Application error occurred during request processing.
Details: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException: Wrong WebDynpro-URL: no application name specified
Exception id: [001125C556F8005400000500000B2052000432CAF4C7A0CF]"
Kindly help me out on how can i resolve this issue.
Regards,
Sidhartha Chatterjee

Hi Sidhartha,
proove, if you use the following things:
In the portal under "Universal Worklist - Administration" you must fill out the parameter "Web dynpro launch system" for the binded ECC system you use. Use a portal system (the alias name for the portal system you have created) which links to the Web Application Server where you have deployed(!) your application (if web application server and portal is the same you also must create a portal system with the local web application data). In general, you create and named a portal system like SAP_WebDynpro_XSS and bind it as parameter.
If you do not use this system the Web Dynpro for Approve/ Reject leave request generates a wrong URL with the Web application data from ECC, not for web dynpro.
More information:
Configuring The Business Package For Employee Self Service (ESS)-mySAP ERP 2004
(to create the system SAP_WebDynpro_XSS)
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/92/a88931f2dd4631b9e8d530697d89c9/content.htm
(to bind it into UWL)
Hope that helps,

ESS Leave Request - Customer fields default function not working

Hi,
a. SAP version being discussed
SAP ECC6.0
EP7.0
ESS/MSS
b. Here is the scenario
1. We are using ESS Leave Request application for employees to request leave. We are using the standard web dynpro java leave request application delivered by SAP.
2. Lately there has been a need to provide a customer field on the request form which will have a calculated value showing up when the employee opens the request
3.We used one customer field called customer01 as per configuration steps.
4. This field appears on the request form when it is opened.
5. Our need is to display a value in that field when the form is opened.
6. SAP/s documentation states that we can use BADI PT_ABS_ARQ to default a value to this field on the form. This value is calculated during runtime dynamically.
7. We have used the method IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ~SIMULATE_VIA_BLOP for this purpose
8. After activating and coding this implementation, the system does not default anything on the request form when it is opened up.
9. Once the employee hits the review button, this field gets its defaulted value but this is not what we want. We want the system to display this when the form is OPENED, that means at the prepare stage. For this field to appear after hitting the review button is meaningless as the employee needs to make a decision based on the value in this field before hitting the review button.
It almost seems like this BADI is called when the review button is hit and not when the form is opened up. We may be wrong and missing something obvious which one of you can immediately point out, Hence this post.
10. I did go thru the forum at great length and seen that there has been discusion surrounding the need to populate R3 from a value entered into this field. My problem is different wherein, I wish to populate this upfront as display information when the form is opened and then send it back to R3, once the employee submits the request.
Would be grateful if anybody on this forum could point me in the right direction.
Thank you,
Rajesh

Please, can I take this question a little further.
Is it possible to add more fields to the leave request form on the ESS portal. For example, our customer wants additional fields like reason for leave, contact residential and telephone number during leave, Require leave entitlements (Yes/No).
Would appreciate if a reply can be given on if it is possible or not and what to be done if it is possible.
Cheers

ESS leave request

Dear friends
in ESS leave request workflow , in approval process task i am maintaining 10 days deadline , after that by using process control i am making the workitem to be obselete , then same leave request is going to supervisor's supervisor . this is properly working, my problems are
when the first supervisor opens some other leave request still the escalated leave request is showning in the table , still system is allow him approve . and also in the supervisor's supervisor inbox then workitem remains if he opens the workitem there is no any leave for approval in that table , so deadline mointerting is not working propely for ess leave request , and also in supervisor's supervisor inbox workitem is not going out from uwl .
how to do deadline mointering for ESS leave request workflow ,
can any one help on this
reason which i could identify is details are picking from the document database based on the approver .

You should check the forum, I think I saw a thread in the last two days which stated that deadline monitoring is not working for the leave request. (it could be the HCM forum). So this would be why the handling is not working as expected.
The problem of no leave to be approved for the manager could be prevented if you set a terminating event on the task which will be triggered when the leave is approved.

Martin

Issue with ESS Leave request workflow - Deleting a leave request

Hi friends,
This is my scenario: An employee has created a leave request from ESS - Leave Request Workflow(Copy of WS12300111) gets triggered and work item gets created in manager's UWL. After that the employee realizes he has created a wrong leave request so he deletes that leave request from ESS. In this case the workflow instance which got triggered when he created the leave request is under process and the work item stays in the Manager's UWL( there is no terminating event or wait for event step in the approval step of workflow WS12300111), when the Manger opens that work item it shows a blank column, ideally speaking when the leave request is deleted by the employee the work item in the manger's UWL should be logically deleted and the workflow should complete, but this part is not handled in the standard workflow WS12300111as well. How to handle this case. I can put a wait for event or a condition to complete a work item at the approval step but i would like to know how the standard ESS leave request framework works in this case. Please advice.

Hi sapient
This is not handled in std. You have clear the next processor in your in method then only the work item will get vanished from the UWL. For clearting the next processor either you can create a method in your BOR and get the request id. For the request id get the max version and clear the next processor or in the BADI you have wirte your own logic when the change happens what you have to do. This logic has to be written in you BADI. I thing BADI will start with PT_ check with that name in se18
You cannot use wait for event or terminating event since its not R/3 workflow its ESS workflow you cannot use ternminating event or wait step.

Problem with ESS Leave Request Workflow

We had configured ESS Leave request, which is working fine with Leave request approval.
1)     Cancellation of Leave Request using the workflow WS12400005.
                              Workflow is not getting triggered when we try to delete the leave request.
2)     Quota Overview
While displaying the Casual Leaves (CL) I need to deduct the Paternity leaves (PL) also.
     Remaining CLu2019s = quota CLu2019s u2013 ( used CLu2019s + used PLu2019s).

hi kishore. how did you resolve the issue of workflow not being triggered?

Hi,
Your ABAPer will be the best person to let you know the table name or some experts here who have come across this situation will guide you. Also check where other types of leaves are populated in SAP and your new value is there or not.

Enhancement in ESS Leave Request

Hi Gurus,
I am new to webdynpro Java. I have a requirement to add a custom button in a Standard ESS leave request (Webdynpro Java) view. When i click the the button it has to call popview(not sure is it possible to call a webdynpro abap view). If possible explain me with step by step preocedures(with screen shots).
Thanks,
Mohammed

Hi,
          Good, you are now able to do modification in Standard ESS package. If you want to navigate to another WDABAP iView from your WDJAVA application, you can use the below code on some button or link action to navigate to another iView.
Check this link:-
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/navigation/api/WDPortalNavigation.html
public void onActionnavigateToToAbapiView(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionnavigateToAbapiView(ServerEvent)
     try
                    WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
                     "ROLES://portal_content/com.demo.DEMO_PCD/com.demo.ESS_SAP/com.demo.iview_ESS/demo.com.java_demo_com_demodc_demo_com_DemoApp",
                     WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,
                     "Window Title", WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_DUPLICATIONS,
                     "Title",
                     "",//ContextURL
                     "param1=10&param2=portalID");
     catch (Exception e)
          e.printStackTrace();
You will find your WDAbap PCD location in Content Admin, copy it and repace PCD: with ROLES at start.
also you can pass parameters between 2-iViews, in the above code snippet you can find that.
the above code needs to be written in your source iView so as to navigate to destination iView which is mentioned using its PCD location.
to retrieve the parameters you need to check ABAP syntax to retrieve URL parameters.
In java we retreive using below syntax:-
String param1 = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("param1");
String loginID = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("param2");
to show it as a Pop-Up you need to find some work-around to achieve it, If i get time will do it and let you know, but if you find something for that do share.

Error after second level approval in ESS leave request

Hi Experts
I am using custom workflow for Ess Leave request process which is copied from WS21500001.
I have added custom class methods to change status from approved to sent.
Then another method i have set next appovaer.
The problem i m facing is that I am getting an error on portal after second approval approves the request.
i.e Field syomol has not been assigned yet.
from st22 i found its generating from
Include LPT_ARQ_REQUEST_UIAF06 - Form   execute_approver_update
By debugging i found that Its not getting next approval with status T as there is only first approval with status 'A'
This results in unassigned field symbol. and then error.
Please help me resolve this issue.
Please confirm why next approver is not found in method.

Hi All
Thanks for your reply.
I checked why it was giving a dump.
This execute_approver_update subroutine takes approval data from table ptreq_approver .
I filled this with resp actor id after request is approved and status is changed to sent.
For every emp its unique actor id is saved in ptreq_actor table agaist his pernr.
   SELECT SINGLE actor_id FROM PTREQ_ACTOR INTO actor_id WHERE objid = nextApprover_pernr.
    wa_appr-mandt = sy-mandt.
    wa_appr-request_id = Request_ID. "Req.requestID ( from Workflow )
    wa_appr-version_no = version_no. "Req.Version ( from Workflow )
    wa_appr-seqnr = seqnr. "Same as version no but in char
    wa_appr-approver_ins = actor_id. "Employee actor id from ptreq_actor
    wa_appr-status = 'T'. "Manual
    append wa_appr to it_appr.
    INSERT PTREQ_APPROVER FROM TABLE it_appr .
    commit work and wait.
This resolved my issue.
Thanks
