Extended notification: Filter more Tasks

Hi,
I am using the extended notification. I have already a filter for one task and know how to add some entries. Is there also the possibility working to use wildcards like TS000*? Is it possible?
thanks, Vanessa

Did you (or has someone else?) tried to use task groups (object type TG)? If that worked, you could group your tasks into one task group, and use that group in SWNCONFIG, etc.
In general I would perhaps avoid using wildcards even if they worked (or at least be extra careful with them). Perhaps you could make it work now (=it selects only the tasks that you intended), but you will never know what happens in the future: someone (or SAP) creates new tasks, which fits into your wildcard criteria, and you users will be getting some notifications that they are not supposed to get (this is especially valid concern if you would be using the custom created tasks "TS9*" in your filter).
Kind regards,
Karri

  • Extended Notifications - Filter Settings

    Hi, could someone please teach me how I could include a list of tasks for the filters in filter settings? I noticed that there is a limitation of 14 characters only and I couldn't create more than one parameter "Task".
    Thanks,
    Yen Li

    Hello,
    You can add more task simply creating new entries and adding 1 to the index field. I mean you can have several task as follow:
    Parameter-Index-Value
    TASK-0000-TS90000001
    TASK-0001-TS90000002
    TASK-0002-TS90000003...
    Hope it helps.

  • Extended notifications: Missing tasks in SOST

    Hi!
    I've configured extended notifications via SWNCONFIG, including different task filters. When I execute the SWN_SELSEN report, a range of notifications is represented in SCOT. However, when I run SOST, I'm missing notifications on two tasks. Tasks that are used in decision steps in the workflows are represented, but the two tasks that are used in activity steps in the workflows are missing. Why is that?
    Best regards,

  • Extended Notification for UWL + Change the description of task/workitem

    Hi,
    I have implemented the Extended notification for UWL and I am getting the emails in outlook. Now the requirement is to customize the body of the email completely for the task '12300096'.
    I have tried going to PFTC->Description but it does not have full text which I am getting in the email. I tried SE63 also. But in the email I am getting
    The following work item requires processing in your SAP Workflow inbox in system xxx.
    <Task description>
    Log on to this system and process the work item.
    If you have problems logging on to the system, contact your system administrator.
    Now I want to remove the following lines;
    The following work item requires processing in your SAP Workflow inbox in system xxx.
    Log on to this system and process the work item.
    If you have problems logging on to the system, contact your system administrator.
    I don't find from where it's coming - please let me know how to remove these lines so that I can add my text in SE63.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Go to SWNCONFIG -> General settings.
    There you have TEXT_GOTO_INBOX - DTSWN_MSG_GOTO_INBOX. (I am not sure if this was the correct one, but you should check all the texts in general settings, if this was not the correct one.)
    Now open dialog text SWN_MSG_GOTO_INBOX in SE61 (you see that you need to remove the prefix DT from the name). Here is your text. You can make your own Z-version of a dialog text in SE61, and then use that in SWNCONFIG general settings.

  • Extended Notification not working for Dialog Task with agent assignment

    Hi Friends,
    I have an issue where I have a user decision step and a sub workflow contains a dialog task with agent assignment.
    Extended notification is configured properly and is working properly for user decision step but its not working for the dialog task created as an activity.
    Batch jobs are configured to run report SWN_SELSEN.
    I was checking SDN and found this discussion handy :
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73ehp1/helpdata/en/4f/3bed495cc018c8e10000000a42189e/content.htm
    One thing that wonders me is that notifications show up in SOST 4-5 seconds before the user decision step starts execution.
    See screenshot from SOST and WF log.
    SOST log :
    2 questions here: Why is notification not being sent for Dialog task?
                              Why is user decision notification being sent that early even before the User decision task starts execution?
    Please provide your valuable inputs.
    Regards,
    Sandip

    An activity step with agents is supported by the extended notifications if it is a decision task or not, I have used it many times and it works well just no approval/rejection links if it's not a decision task.
    From your screenshot you can see that a mail has been created and is found in SOST, usually this cases are problems with the mail server or connection to it, check the mail settings in the SMTP node in transaction SCOT, also check with mail server team if there is a block to/from the SAP server.

  • Extended notifications from multiple systems

    We're using Extended notifications now to send reminder e-mails about unfinished tasks. The problem now is that we have multiple (3) systems and we would like to set up Extended notifications to send one combined e-mail that has all the tasks from all the three systems. Is this possible with Extended notifications or do we have to cope with sending one e-mail per system?

    Hi Evan,
    I had the same requirement. My conclusion was that achieving this would mean modifying the standard extended notification mechanism to run in one of your three systems and retrieve workitems from all three systems via RFC calls. Surely quite a big change, with high complexity and high risk.
    I finally implemented another (relatively easy solution). The only prerequisite is to have UWL.
    1. Write a function module (rfc-enabled) that grabs all dialog and deadline workitems in a certain timeframe (passed as a parameter to the FM), with optional filter on task and agent. It returns a table with all the selected workitems + description + agent + agent's email address (if several agents for a workitem then the workitem appears several times in the table).
    Implement that FM in all our SAP prod systems where you have workflows.
    2. Write a report in one of the systems, which makes a call to that FM in all the other systems to retrieve the workitem and then sends an email to each agent. The report writes the time at which it runs in a db table. So next time you run it it knows when the email was sent last and thus knows which timeframe to select workitems on.
    The report sends one email to each agent with the list of workitems and a link to the UWL.
    If you do not have UWL then that might get much more complicated because you'll need to insert links in the email body to allow execution of the workitem from the mail directly. Not easy... In that case I would rather start from the standard extended notification mechanism and enhance it.
    Mmmh, maybe I should write a blog about this report of mine. Anyone interested? Worth the effort?
    Cheers,
    Patrick

  • Extended notifications problem

    Hi experts,
    I am trying to configure extended notifications for around 7 to 8 different taks
    pertaining to different workflows.
    I could successfully do it for 1 task.
    Then after successful testing I did add more filters to the same configuration
    under same subscription and delivery.
    I even created new schedules for the new filters. But unfortunately it is not working.
    I could debug the standard program SWN_SELSEN and found that the particular WAPI call to
    select the delta Work Items from SWWWIHEAD and SWWWIHIST is failing because of some
    timestamp mismatch.
    Can you please provide me some help regarding this ?
    Thanks,
    Deb

    Hi Purvesh,
    You can find the step by step procdure in the following blog.
    How to get Work items @ your Outlook Inbox
    You can find all the definitions and theories in the SAP Help link provided in the same blog.
    I initially followed the above and could successfully do it for 1 task.
    However, I was stuck in achieving the same for multiple task belonging to different workflows.
    Here is how I did it:
    1)  Do the configuration in SWNCONFIG as per the blog and SAP Help
         A)  Create your own delivery schdule
         B)  Create your own subscription using the above delivery schedule
         C)  Create your own filters
         D)  Create your own selection schedule
    2) Then run the report SWN_SELSEN to do the actual selection and delivery based on the schedules    you created.
    The key is creating the filters. Follow the SAP Help link closely and try it. If you face any problems
    the please let me know.
    Please award appropriate points.
    Thanks & Regards
    Deb

  • Extended Notification Workflow Problem

    Hi,
    I have configured Extended Notification by using SWNCONFIG transcation code for 3 scenorios. For the first 2 scenorios, it is working fine. ie. Users getting an e-mail to the outlook with 'Execute Work item' link.
    My problem is for the 3rd scenorio, configuration is not working for this. SWN_SELSEN report is not picking up the notification. I configured the 3rd scenorio same as the first 2 scenorios. I tried all the different ways. Still it is not working. i.e SWN_SELSEN is not at all picking up the 3rd notification.
    Please let me know if any one facing the same problem.

    Hi PR,
    Please find the steps below,
    1. Created new Category
    2. Assigned message templates to new Category
    3. Created new subscription:
         Delivery Sch: Every 15 minutes
         Delivery type: EMAIL_HTML
         Granularity: One message per Notification
         R Address: *
         R type: Internal SAP user
    4. Filter Basic:
        Copied standard ALL_DELTA & ALL_FULL filters and named it as Z*.
        Assinged main filter ALL_DELTA to ZALL_DELTA and ALL_FULL to ZALL_FULL.
        In the ZALL_DELTA, the parameters are ALL_DELTA: 'X' and TASK: My task number.
         For ZALL_FULL, i have assinged only TASK number.
    5. Created Schedule Selection and Delivery Selection within 15minutes interval.
    Everything i created for the same as scenorio 1 & 2.

  • SAP GUI for Windows - Extended Notification

    Hello All,
    I have set up the extended notifications for outlook integration with sap workitem.
    Subscription settings are as follows:
    SHOW_ACTION_DECISION_AS     - Link
    SHOW_ACTION_DISPLAY_AS      - Link2
    SHOW_ACTION_EXECUTE_AS      - Link2
    SHOW_INBOX_AS                         - Link2
    I am receiving the work item on outlook successfully.
    Now the thing is, when i click on display/execute/workflow inbox link; it is opening the SAP GUI for html & giving error "host not found". As per my subscription settings, it should open the work item in SAP GUI for windows.
    I am using the general task TS..8267 & not defined any SWFVISU config to overwrite SWNCONFIG.
    Do i have to make any other setting so that my http link "Workflow Inbox"/"Display Work Item"/"Execute Work Item" gets open in SAP GUI for windows and not in SAP GUI for html?
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Y Sharma

    Markus,
    with all respect, but this is nonsens, I mean not your answer, but SAP's policy.
    Today I can customize Windows, webpages (if implemented), my Android smartphone, with all colors, icons and much more.
    SAP is ages back in time, I would dare to say that SAP even made a huge step backwards with the new design and should re-think its policy.
    How many times customers have asked for a custom-colored GUI? Countless, I would say. Speaking from the point of a developer it is important to see at first glance which systems I've logged on, and believe me we have plenty of it.

  • Extended notifications & placing a link to the mail

    Hi,
    We have extended notifications running in our system with basically the following relevant settings:
    -one message contains multiple items
    -HTML message
    I have configured the text of the mail to meet our requirements and it works just fine, and now I would like to enhance the text even more. I would like to include a link to the UWL to the text. So for example the text would be:
    You have new work items in <u>universal worklist.</u> (where the phrase 'universal worklist' would be a link and by pressing it you could access the UWL).
    How to do this? I tried to make this by using "a href" tag, but then the result was that the the mail text just included the whole "a ref" thing - it didn't create a link from it.

    Sorry, I only found this one (btw very good) blog regarding extended notifications:
    /people/saujanya.gn/blog/2006/12/19/how-to-get-work-items-your-outlook-inbox
    ...and it doesn't really answer my question.
    It is clear for me about how to create a link for executing each individual item, but this is not required. I just wonder that how can I add a link to the custom dialog text that I have maintained with SE61.
    Or is there some other way to handle this? I would also be happy to some other solution. (The only thing that I would not be happy is that I would need to include the whole long URL address of the UWL to the mail in order that users could easily access UWL through the mail.)

  • Extended notifications - Shortcut

    Hi Friends,
      We have configure extended notifications for Workflow and it is working fine. The issue which we are currently facing is when the notification comes to Outlook inbox and when we try to open the attachment to execute the work item the SAP Screen is opening in a minimized state, Please let me know if you have face such a kind of issue before and what was the resolution for the same.
    Note : When I open the logon screen directly from SAP logon pad it is opening in maximized state.

    Hello,
    Are you planning on just using Delta, or also the Full?
    Some people do eg a Full every morning and then a Delta every hour or so.
    I choose to just do a Delta so that there are no multiple notifications.
    Could that be what is happening in your case?
    You say:
    "ZALL_DELTA- Delete old notifications flag is checked - Assigned main filter is ALL_FULL-STANDARD CATEGORY "
    That's a bit unusual, I would think ZALL_DELTA would be defined in terms of ZALL_FULL,
    not ALL_FULL.
    I also don't understand why you have, in Filter Settings, Delta set to X for ZALL_FULL,
    and to nothing for ZALL_DELTA. I have the opposite.
    I only have one schedule selection because I only use one filter; if you're
    using Full and Delta then I'm sure you need two.

  • Extended notifications and UWL

    Hi Friends,
      I am using Extended notifications for sending notifications to lotus notes. In the notification we can maintain shortcut to open the workitem in SAP GUI. But the users use only UWL to access work items.So Is there any way to maintain the link to be directed to the work item in UWL, is there a way of changing this email icon link to point at the portal rather than sap gui. Please clarify.
    I heared that this can be maintained in General settings in SWNCONFIG, if so will this be a generic link to access the work list instead of specific workflow task?

    Hi Mike,
      Thanks for your reply. I tried to mention the UWL link in SWNCONFIG -> General Settings -> INBOX_LINK_URL and i am getting this is in notification. But i would like to know is there any way to dynamically generate the link along with the task id or work item id so that upon clicking the link the user can open the work item in UWL directly. Please let me know if this is possible or not.

  • Extended Notification for Workitems

    Hi,
    we need to configure the SWNCONFIG for Extended  Notifications.
    We have already made some steps but the report  SWN_SELSEN does not work. He says there are 0 WorkItem to be sent.
    We should send an email with links to step inside the workitem (Approve, Reject ....)
    Regards

    >We have already made some steps
    And these steps are? Did you include the task IDs, for which you want to send the notifications, to the configuration? DO you have new work items in the system to test the report?
