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.

  • Extended Notification authorization problem

    Hi All,
    We configured extended notification for all the workflow in ECC 6.0.
    We have been moved to production system. When users selecting the workitem link in the outlook, they are getting an authorization problem saying that 'You don't have an authorization to execute SWNWIEX'.
    However, with this transaction the user can execute the ANY workitem just by entering the Work item id.  The transaction does not check if the work item is actually in the users inbox, I would think this could be a security issue.
    could you anyone please help me out.
    -Steve

    Hello,
    I don't think giving access to tx SWNWIEX allows all users access to all workitems.
    Where did you read that? It could be the case for your account, but not everybody's.
    Test it out.

  • Extended Notifications - Workflow Inbox link not working

    Hi,
    I have configured SWNCONFIG to send Extended Notifications. E-mails are being sent but the link for Workflow Inbox (configured in Subscription Settings - SHOW_INBOX_AS = LINK1) only takes to the enterprise portal home page not the inbox. I have search to have this fixed but with no luck. Does anyone know how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have follow the configuration in this links:
    Configuring Notifications (View Cluster) (SAP Library - Embedded Processes (SAP Business Workflow))
    Subscription (SAP Library - Embedded Processes (SAP Business Workflow))
    It does not refer any specific link to the inbox. Only to activate the service: default_host  → sap  → bc  → workflow → shortcut
    And to use SHOW_INBOX_AS = LINK1 and define the portal url in parameter WG_HOST in General Settings. In addition the url while navigating in the portal is always the same (e.g either on the home page or in the workflow inbox), so I guess its the system job to re-direct to the Workflow Inbox, but this does not seem to be happening for some reason. 

  • 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 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?

  • Extended Notification for Workflow

    Hi,
    I need to know what are all configurations have to be done in tcode SWNCONFIG for sending the notification to e-mail or SMS.
    I need sample scenario.
    Can anyone send me step by step procedure ?

    Hi MB,
    The extended notification configuration is explained with details in SAP library. I have to admit that the documentation is not very clear, and there are even some small "mistakes", but you should just try to follow it.
    Anyhow, actually it is much easier to do the configuration with transaction SWNADMIN (if the WAS environment is properly configured and you are able to use BSP applications). It is really straightforward to use. Configure extended notifications first with SWNADMIN, and then if you have to achieve something special (for example if you want to change the texts of the notification, etc.) you can do the enhancements to your scenario with SWNCONFIG.

  • Extended Notification in Workflow issue

    I have used extended notifications to send user decision to Outlook, when PR is created user decision step shows as "Ready" under status in SWIA. When I run the report SWN_SELSEN with selected check box "No time check during send". Email is not triggering to my Outlook. When I created a simple work flow with only user decision email is triggered to my outlook.
    Please suggest me how to solve the issue.

    Hi Sriram,
    "The job for the SWN_SELSEN report checks whether there is a schedule that needs to be executed. If this is the case, the report selects work items or delivers notifications and sets a time stamp. If the schedule was not executed at the intended time, this is indicated in the time stamp. The schedule is executed the next time the job is started."
    Take a look at this link.

    sap extended notification for work items with URL

  • 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.

    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

    Notification Handler           ZCL_SWN_NOTIF_WF                          
    Handler for User               CL_SWN_USER_STD                                
    Have a look at some of the methods:

  • 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!

  • 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

  • PR - Extended Notification

    Hi,
    I have created a Workflow for Purchase Requisition ZBUSXXXXX and assigned it to the RELEASESTEPCREATED event, and in the workflow I have created a User Decision step and created a rule which will decide the approver for the Purchase Requisition and used in the User Decision Agents tab. When ever a PR is raised, work item is going to the correct approver's SAP Inbox (SBWP). 
    Now the issue is, I am using Extended Notifications to notify the user MS Office about the work item. I have configured the Extended Notification SWNCONFIG using the document available on the net. When I go the SWIA transaction the user decision step is "READY" under status. But when I run the report SWN_SELSEN it is selecting the work item, the message is not sent to the user. When I remove the rule in the workflow user decision and changed it to the Expression as WF_INITIATOR. Email is sending to the initiators MS Outlook. But when I changed Expression from WF_INITIATOR to rule work item is going to the approvers user SAP Inbox (SBWP) after I ran the report below is the output.
    Selection of Notifications
    00000000 notifications selected
    00000000 notifications deleted (logically)
    00000000 new notifications saved
    00000000 notifications saved
    Sending Messages
    00000001 notifications selected
    00000000 messages sent
    Unable to send 00000000 notifications due to errors
    Could you please let me know the possible reasons why the notification is not sent to approvers Outlook.
    Thanks,
    Sriram Ponna.
    Edited by: Sriram Ponna on Sep 7, 2011 7:20 PM

    Hi,
    After debugging the program SWN_SELSEN report i have found out that when I use WF_INITIATTOR in the user decision  SWN_NOTIF table RECIPIENT_ID field is getting updated, when ever I uses a rule or any other US (UserID hardcoded) this field is not getting updated. I do not really understand on what basis this table is getting updated, whenever i use a rule the work item is going the correct approver SAP Inbox, so i think there is no problem with the Workflow, correct if i am wrong.
    Could anyone please provide me any inputs in this regard.
    Thanks,
    Sriram.

  • 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 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.
