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 for UWL

Hi,
We have implemented performance management and implemented extended notification using UWL to get outlook email. Every thing is working fine the only problem is - whenever we get an email the FROM person is the person who has configured the system. Ideally the FROM person in the email is the one who has generated the task.
Please let me know what kind of changes we need to make to fix this so that the person who has created the task will be used in the FROM of the emial
Thanks,

Hi,
Check from the requestor if it just enough to schedule the SWN_SELSEN report (that is sending the emails) to be executed for example by the WF-BATCH user. This is a really common scenario what I've seen. Give some nice name (such as "SAP Workflow System" for this system user, and your emails will look already better with 5 minutes work.
If you really want the work item creator as the sender, I don't think that it will be straightforward. Maybe you can do something in SWNCONFIG General settings (SENDER_NAME_INT, SENDER_ADDR_INT, etc.), and doing some kind of custom handler? Not sure about this. Just one thing to pay attention: some of your work items might be technically created by the WF-BATCH user. Then your emails will have this sender in any case.

Extended Notifications: how to change the URL link

Hello,
We are on ECC6. We use Extended Notifications to alert users to the presence of new workitems, but when they click on the link to execute the workitem, they're presented with the login screen.
We have been able to send emails from workflow which contain a link that does not ask for a login so I know which URL to use. The problem is, how can you set the URL in Extended Notifications? How does it decide which URL to use? I've tried changing a few General Settings in SWNCONFIG, none of them made a difference.
Any hints, tips, suggestions would be appreciated.
regards

Hi Rick,
I wrote my own notification handler to solved an link issue (wanted to point to a specific iView url). I changed the notification handler via Category and double clicking on the category:
Scenario                        WORKFLOW
Category                        ZCATEGORY
Description                    Adobe Administrator
Requested Reliability          0 Undefined
Collective Message             A Grouping with Othe
Notification Priority          5 Medium
                               Delete After Send
Category Handler               CL_SWN_CATEGORY
Notification Handler           ZCL_SWN_NOTIF_WF
Handler for User               CL_SWN_USER_STD
Have a look at some of the methods:
LOAD_INSTANCE_WA
ADD_LINKS_ACTION
ADD_LINK_ACTION_DISPLAY
ADD_LINK_ACTION_EXECUTE
ADD_LINK_ACTION_DECISION
CREATE_ACTION_ATTACHMENT
CREATE_INBOX_ATTACHMENT
Hope it helps you understand how the link is created.

Extended Notifications for UWL

Hi gurus,
I am trying to configure extended notifications to work with UWL. Problem is the notifications are not saved or sent by SWN_SELSEN.
Our SAP system is Netweaver 7.0 EhP 1.
I followed instructions found here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/ad/d64842d59fb430e10000000a155106/content.htm
However, we already had configured the workflow to use extended notifications with SAPGUI. So when I ran SWN_SELSEN, the old notification still showed up, but not the UWL version. So I deleted the schedule for the old configuration, thinking there might be interference. Again I created a work item and ran SWN_SELSEN, this time no notifications saved or sent. I found that I could run RSWNUWLSEL and the notification is saved, but not sent.
Any idea what the problem might be?
Also I noticed that in the Worflow Book (2nd ed.) it shows to update the General Settings in SWNCONFIG with a url for the UWL. But I don't see that instruction in the SAP Help? Do I still need to do that? If so, is that url a portal quicklink to the UWL iView?
For what it's worth, here is what we are trying to accomplish:
1) the links in the email should take the user to the UWL, not SAPGUI
2) for a user decision, currently the user has to login with their backend system password, which may not be the same as their network password; I'm assuming that if the links now go to the UWL, it will require the user's portal id/password - which is synchronized with their network password, and that is what we want.
So if just putting the UWL url in the general settings will do the job, then why do I need all that stuff in the SAP Help (RSWNUWLSEL, etc.) anyway?
Any enlightenment would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Margaret

Hi ysr,
It sounds like you are asking two different questions ...
1) does using extended notifications necessarily require use of portal / UWL?
answer: No. In fact out of the box, (in our system which is 7.0 EhP1), extended notifications will generate links that go to webgui (SAPGUI for HTML) or SAPGUI. To make it work for portal is what my question is about.
2) you want to 'send the hyper link in the mails to clients'.
answer: if by clients, you mean users outside your system, you will have to do something other than out-of-the-box. Normally with workflow, execution of the links embedded n the email will require the person to have a logon to the SAP system. Perhaps if you have clients with access to the portal but not the backend, it might work if you configure extended notifications to work with UWL. The client would have to have the UWL role in the portal but obviously without backend access, they would not be executing anything on your SAP system, right? But for displaying information to them that might be useful.
of course another route would be to code completely custom methods to send the email which would include constructed links going wherever you want ... but that would be a lot of work! (and out of the realm of SAP Business Workflow)
Hope that helps!

Change the description of workflow/task

Hi Workflow experts,
I am working on CATS workflow, where the requirement is to change the description of task. As in my case, as the workflow comes into the inbox of supervisor, the description it shows should contain the short-text which is maintained in CATSDB table for the respective entry. Is there any FM to change that. It is not displaying the vriable, which i am passing through binding from workflow to TASK.

Hi Santoshi,
I have a workflow, i have a task and rule and methods associated with that also. CATS workflow is created by me according to the requirement. Now a new requirement has come up where i have to display the value of CATSDB-LTXA1 also.
In task, there is a tab of task description. Here we write text which gets displayed when a workflow comes to the inbox. Along with the hard-coded text, i need to display value of CATSDB-LTXA1. I am paasing this variable through the event container to the task container (in triggering event tab of task). & i am giving it in task's description tab. But it is not getting displayed when the workflow comes to the inbox.
Please let me know if there is any FM to change the text of Task's description dynamically. I will use that in the method.

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 Notifications for SAP Business Workflow

Hi expert,
i need your help!!
i have configured the "Extended Notifications for SAP Business Workflow" with the tnx SWNADMIN and this was successful. I can write emails, but i can read this only on SAP GUI with the tnx SOST. I don't receive email on my email-address.
can you say me, where is the problem?
Thank you in advance
marcel

Hi Marcel
Rope in your Basis Guy!
Basically, your Extended notif part is working fine..... emails reaching SOST is proof. Going out of SAP may need basis config.
What do you see, a yellow triangle or a red light in SOST?

IOS 8: The textbox to change the description field of the iCloud email account no longer exists

The textbox to change the description of the iCloud email account that existed in all previous versions of iOS, and is available for all other types of email accounts under iOS 8, appears to have been removed. Without this textbox, it is not possible to change the default description of "iCould", or to change a description that was set with a previous version of iOS. The description field still exists, as the value that I set on a previous version of iOS is still being used by some of my iOS devices, but there is currently no way to change it via the current iOS 8 UI. The description field is available to change for all other kinds of email accounts.

Confimed. And I hope they put it back soon.
I used an iCloud backup to transfer everything on my iPhone 5s to my iPhone 6. The (modified) description for my iCloud account transferred and appears the way I want it to appear on my iPhone 6. However, it cannot be changed.
Alternatively, I also have a new iPad Air 2 that I set up as a completely new iPad (i.e. I did not transfer anything from an older iPad). The iPad shows the description for my iCloud account as the default: "iCloud." It, too, cannot be changed.
True, this is only a minor annoyance, but it would be less of an issue if Apple had not removed a feature that previously existed in iOS 7.
I'm not sure if the removal was intentional or unintentional, but, again, I hope this gets fixed soon. In the meantime, I would be interested in anyone can find a workaround.
