Open Custom PCR forms (created using ISR framework) from UWL for approval

Hi,
I have made a custom JSP iview using the ISR framework .
The form can be submitted and a notification is created.
The Workflow is generating the workitem wihich appears in the
UWL worklist.
HOw can i open the custom JSP iview from the UWL for the workitem.
Helpful answers will be rewarded.
Thanks

Hi Phil,
Interesting - I have a similar issue. We want to use the Request for Transfer scenario in ERP 2005, but it has not been developed in Adobe forms by SAP yet (it isn't available in 2004 either)! So, we have decided to use the old JSP PCRs instead.
Your issue is probably because you're using the same 2005 iviews to create your PCRs. The 2005 PCR iviews are written in WebDynpro, and appear to assume that each one will be an Adobe form! If you assign the old PCR iviews to your manager (give them the old MSS role under Migrated Content->EP5.0... in the pcd if you have it installed), you will be able to create a PCR with the JSP forms (regardless of the "Entry in Web" setting in QISRSCENARIO).
The next issue is the approval. In 2005, transaction SWFVISU has task TS50000075 configured as Java Webdynpro. You'll need to change that to iView, and specify ID = com.sap.pct.hcm.isrdispatcher.default. I'm following the UWL item type guide for this at:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b1/cc1357eead454bb144face4a66be7d/content.htm
Having said this, my approval is not working! The item type has clearly changed, because the workitem name is no longer a hyperlink (rather annoying), but when I hit the "Launch Task Page" button (default name I think) I get the error:
"Unable to perform action because the system returned an invalid URL"
I can't see this "invalid url" anywhere in the logs, so I can't see where it is getting it from, or what path, etc I'm meant to put! In your old system, what did you have as the "Server for ISR call" under "Additional Data for Scenario" in QISRSCENARIO? Also, what did you have in the "URL" box that appears under the Additional Data for Scenario button when you change the Entry Type to JSP?
Many thanks,
Russell.

Error in opening Workitems from UWL

Hi All,
I am trying to open a transaction from the workflow using a dialog task.
when i execute the workitem from SAP business workplace the task gets execute properly.
but when i try to run the same task from UWL it opens the SAP easy access screen.
All my other workitem like leave request approver are getting opened properly from UWL.
This might be related to some UWL configuration. I searched all the forums there are many similar questions but could not get any answer.
Regards,
Umesh Chaudhari.

Hi ,
please find the following solution .it will definitely work .
If you leave configuration is done.
There was an incorrect data in your system. To do these please follow following process.
delete this request using
PTARQ> Delete documents (RPTARQDBDEl)
Please read the report documentation before
deleting the request but it should be safe as it is
a development system.
Please delete this with the above information or delete all
the records for the approver.
After this,, there will be some incorrect workitem in approver inbox.
You need to clear that also by Tcode - SWWL.
Also try following
Can you check if the Pernr used
has correct information like It0105 etc, also the rules are
correctly defined.
For the Employee, First of all check the Period Work Schedule also
the Quotas of the pernr needs to maintained in 2006, Please do
this customisation and it should solve the issue.
Maintain the absence quota in the IT2006 and then try once.
Also make sure that the Settings in Webmo and PTARQ etc all is done
The pernr belongs to the a Rule and have absences defined for him.

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

Provision for Approval process

Dear Experts,
I have a requirement "To be able to provision for Approval process by FInance, when role of business partner upgraded from prospect to customer"
I guess this is done through Workflow concept. but I don't have Idea in detail.
Looking forward for reply

About your questions...
1. According to my knowleadge there is no such standard functonality. But I implemented something similar in our company in the folowing way:
- prospect is created in CRM
- when prospect needs to be transformed to customer, salesman issues task with filled questionary
- finance departments receives this task and if it agrees transforms frospect to customer in ERP with VA07
2. If you mean that only certain data should be maintained by certain companies, then only via coding this could be achieved.
3. If you mean that in relatonship you define, to which organization contat person belongs, then I'm not sure. Never tried it. For employees I know it is possible so robably it could be done also for contact persons.
4. You can store documents. But if you want to have special access to this documents, then this would not be the case.
5. Yes. You can use account hierarchies for that.

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.

Felipe Uribe

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?

"Page not found or not available" error when accessing workitem from UWL

Hi SAP Gurus,
I encounter a perculiar problem in our portal system, was wondering if any of you guys encounter it before.
When one of the users accesses the UWL screen and click on a particular workitem(approve trips), he gets a portal error message "Page not found or not available".
Usually we get this message if the user does not have some form of authorization, but the things is I have setup the permissions of the UWL for "end-user" for "everyone" and all existing roles in the portal.
heres our systems setup:
-R/3 4.7
-ITS 6.2
-EP7
-Authentication through LDAP server, the roles in the server are tied to the groups that the LDAP ID is tied to.
The funny thing is, only this particular user has the problem, other users with the same roles didn't encounter such message. Also, the user do not have problem accessing to other UWL workitems, (eg, leave approval, claims, etc) only the Trips Approval have the problem.
Anyone have any ideas? Could it be some roles in the R/3 side. Any suggestions?
As usual, point will be awarded to useful answers.
Regards,
Jansen

Answered for myself. My situation related to the Credit/Dispute Management application. In my case, a standard task type was also defined for another application. I had re-prioritize the xml configuration for Credit Manager, and modify the xml to include a system alias within the item configuration. Now, my item is using the correct configuration and tasks are launching correctly from the UWL.
Thanks!

PS - Did not need to do back-end configuration.

Executing BW Workbooks from EP as background process

Hi all!
I need to execute BEX workbooks from Enterprise Portal with automatically predefined values of variables. Iu2019d like to do this in two ways: normal (ordinary way) and as background process (result: xls. file). Can you help me?

Hi Alzatula,
You can do this in information broadcasting.
You can configur broadcast settings for workbooks.
The prerequisite is you need a precalculation server.
Check on sdn, how to register a precalculation server.
You can execute it in foreground or you can schedule it in background.
Check this link, it may help you to set up the broadcast setting.

Post Write-off from Disputes with Approval Process

Hi,
we want to post write-offs using the dispute escalation process. before the write-offs are posted they need to go for approval. is there any functionality within dispute mgmt which can be leveraged to post write-off from the dispute with approval

Hi,
When you set up the escalation proces with reason code write off you can do it in two ways. Set up a Workflow for the approval process. Escalations are specifically meant for that. This is possible with the standard workflow.
If you want to work w/o workflow. Then you can have the responsible person go into UDM_disputes query all specific escalation reason and e.g. change status or maybe create a different escalation reason. (E.g. Write off request/ Write off granted)
You can check if you can change the roles that certain functions can only set certain reasons.

Template Folder for Approval Process in KM Repository

Hi,
I have the following scenario:
There is a Folder that has been set up with an approval step and approvers.
What i need to do is to copy this folder to another location in the same repository and the approval process.
For example:
In the folder /documents/Sales/ApprovalTemplate/ is defined the following step:
STEP: Content Validation
Approvers: salesApproverGroup
I create a new folder: /documents/Sales/Presentations
Inside that folder I want to copy the folder /documents/Sales/ApprovalTemplate/. That's no problem. But when the folder is copied here: /documents/Sales/Presentations/ApprovalTemplate/ it has no more approval steps neither approvers. Whatsmore, the approval process isn't enabled.
Is there any way to manage to copy folders and copy approval process?
Thanks in advance!

Single time receiving material from stores for diff process order.

Dear all,
I am creating 5 different process order for 5 different FG material.
But for all 5 fg material one bill of material is common to all.
While receiving material from stores that particular bom i need to get single time only from stores for all five process order.
Kindly please let me know how to process.

Rajasekaran

Hi Raja,
As replied to your earlier threads, unique reseration is created against each process order. Accordingly issue also takes place againt unique reservation/process order. Use MB1A/MIGO for individual issue or pick list COIK where issue an be done by stores for all process orders in on go.
In SAP Mill Products once DIMP is activated there is combination order functionallity available where if operations/ BOM of 5 orders are same then combination order (New order) can be created by combining the qty of 5 individual orders. Here Goods issue is done against the new combined order which is single order for total 5 orders qty. This functionality i used in Discrete Maufacturing.
Have a look.

Hi,
you can use tcode : SWWL to do that...
This is not the right fourm for asking this ???? it should be under BPM.

History for approval process

Hi out there,
Is it possible to see the approval history of a document?
For example:
File test.txt
- 05/10/08 file created by Mr.X
- 05/11/08 submit for approval by Mr.X
- 05/12/08 rejected by Mr.Y in step1
- 05/13/08 submit for approval by Mr.X
- 05/14/08 approved by Mr.Y in step 1
- 05/15/08 approved by Mr.Y in step 2
Best regards,
Manuel

Hi,
There is no standard tool to check this information.
I would suggest that you write your own portal component to achieve this.
Look into KM API's to do this:
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/km/index.html
Here you see how to access IStatemanagementUtilsResource object of each KM File (method createFolderStmgUtilsResource).
https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=839022
The IStatemanagementUtilsResource class has some helper methods to get infos on the state of the document.
The information "05/10/08 file created by Mr.X " is just a property on the document, so just read the property from km document (KM Property is createdby):
