Extended notifications link
Dear Expert,
I also have a question regarding to the Extended notifications link.
My customer want to use the Extended notifications link with subscription parameter email as HTML, one msg per category and including HTTP link to open SBWP in SAPGUI for windows.
The problem is, that if saplogon is configured with group/server selection instead of an ordinary user specific application server entry, the link to the inbox received in the mail does not work. We get
an error: "Logon to SAP System faild. The system description '1. RPR [ERP Production system]' cannot be found in the system list. Make sure that saplogon.ini exists and choose an existing system description in the system list.
My customer has changed the parameter "logon_id" in trx. SWNADMIN so now the
field "System Description" is correct filled when he accept the error message - but still the link does not end up in the small logon window.
Could you provide some suggestion?
Many thanks,
Perry Song
Hi,
Can you check the general settings in SWNCONFIG.
Please check the below entries for general settings.

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: 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
Rick Bakker
Hanabi TechnologyHi 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 & 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 with Links while using Citrix to Access Hosted SAP
Hello,
I am working on a system which is hosted remotely where Citrix and Single signon are used to access the SAP instance. I need to be able to send email to their Outlook server with executable links back to the workitems. I had planned to use Extended Notifications to get this done. I am fine with everything except for the Citrix link. I am not sure whether the link in the email will be able to find its way through Citrix to the SAP instance. I also need to know the SSO is going to work - it seems at a minimum they would need to sign on to Citrix. Has anyone out there done this, or at least know whether it would/should/won't work?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer,
Jeff GrayAs far my knowledge, on Citrix it won't work. As far portal is concerned, it will work.

Extended Notifications with Desicion Comments
Hi all,
We have a requirement to have a prompt for user comments when ever user takes a decision in the Extended notifications.
The user will receive a mail to his outlook with the approve and reject links and we want to have some setup to ask the user to enter comments while he either approves or rejects the work item..
Is there any way to do this..
Appreciate your time..
Thanks,
SethuI think you can use the following method
DATA:
COMMENT TYPE TSYS1-DIFF OCCURS 0.
CALL FUNCTION 'CATSXT_SIMPLE_TEXT_EDITOR'
EXPORTING
im_title = 'Add Investigation Details'(002)
IM_DISPLAY_MODE = ' '
IM_START_COLUMN = 30
IM_START_ROW = 20
changing
ch_text = comment
SWC_SET_TABLE CONTAINER 'Comment' COMMENT.
Thanks

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,
MargaretHi 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 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,
DebHi 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: SWN_TEST_REMAP1
has anyone come across this program? in configuring extended notifications there is a whole list of test programs but i haven't seen any guidance on when and how to run them. this one results in...nothing. is this a true negative or a false negative and how can i get to a true positive here?
Hello experts,
Thanks for your answers, it helped me.
However, I still seem to have an issue:
1) I set in swnconfig that I wanted to send mail (one mail containing mulitple notifications) for ALL work items (including these which have already been sent before): I set in my settings that I wanted ALL_FULL notifications to be sent (instead of choosing ALL_DELTA).
However, if notifications have already been sent last time the job run, they are not part of the next mails (next job run).
Do you know how this is possible?
2) I chose the option "link2" to display the sap gui for windows. However when I receive an email, upon clicking on the "display link", internet explorer is trying to open a URL. Do you know how I can fix that problem?
I saw that I needed to enter a "company logon id" in the subscription settings but I didn't because I do not know what it is and what is will be used for. Can that be the reason for the issue or do you have another Idea?
Thanks for your help on this;
Kind regards,

Extended notifications - SAP screen opens in little format
Hi all,
we're using extended notifications to warn users that they have unprocessed items in their workflow inbox, with a link in the mail to execute the workitem.
Whenever a user clicks on the link, SAP asks for the password, and it opens, but with a very little screen. Is it possible that the screen which opens is in full format ?
thnx in advance !yeah, Martin, that's been a requirement from a customer, which I have solved by copying the RSWUWFML2 and set that option on the parameter for the function call that creates the shortcut (there are two of them in the coding).
BR Florin
P.S.: Still that window is somewhat opened in background (behind a current window). This <i>cannot</i> be solved.

Extended notifications: SWN_SELSEN
Hello SolMan experts,
I configured the extended notifications for work items in solman using TA SWNCONFIG (as suggested under sap library and in this forum).
I completed all steps successfully.
However, when I run the program SWN_SELSEN, notifications are collected but no "send job" is prepared.
TA SCOT is well configured, TA SWNCONFIG is well configured as well.
When I check SLG1, everything is green (including the selection job run and the delivery job); only one element appears as yellow "could not determine an agent for work item" - error swn156.
Does someone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks!

Extended Notifications: Message not sent
Hi Folks
I had configured the extended notifications in the development system and it was working perfactly. Then I transported the customizing request for the above config to Test system.
I have scheduled the job for SCOT and SWN_SELSEN.
SWN_SELSEN do select the notifications to be sent but it does not send any messages.
I have checked the application log and it displays a message SWN 032 ERROR while creating a message.
Waiting for your expert opinion on how to resolve this issue.

WazHi Folks
Thanx for sending me your answers. I found the solution to this.
The solution lies in the activation of some services in SICF.

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,

Extended notifications and the portal
Hi All,
I'm using extended notification ( SWNADMIN ) to send the workitems in SRM/ECC to MS outlook . The background jobs SWNSEL etc are run in the respective systems . Emails produced have links to logon to the respective systems and display/execute the workitem but I want the users to login via the portal . Is that possible ?
Regardshi,
then i would suggest, before the link opens the corresponding appl, pop up for the userid , create specific portal roles lik manager,hradmin etc, so that the workitems are executed.
But one thing i would like to mention is : extended notification is mainly useful for those who do not access portal often.
hope this helps.

Saujanya
