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!
Kind regards,
Alice

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,
Alice

Extended notification/swn_selsen - multiple languages

Hi all!
Our customer operates in four different countries and want their "new workitem"-notificiations in the language of the notification recipient. I've created two dialog texts in SE61 and translated them to the different languages via SE63. I've also created a message class (for the subject-field) in SE91 and translated this as well.
When I run swn_selsen the notification is created successfully with the subject-field in the correct language. But the two dialog texts are always displayed in the language in which swn_selsen is run.
Anyone else encountered this problem, or did I miss something in my configuration?
We're on ECC6.0.
Best regards

Issue with SWN_SELSEN report in Extended Notification - Re

All,
I am working on ECC 6.0 and am using Extended Notif for Outlook mail generation. It's been working fine except that recently we have noticed that when a user goes to his witem thru' outlook mail and does nothing and comes out, then the witem is in IN PROCESS state. Next time when SWN_SELSEN is run, this is picking up this IN PROCESS witems and generating another Outlook mail.
Is this the std. behavior or any control is there where we can control which witems are to be picked up.
Anybody had this issue and any solutions or ideas will be a great help for me. Thanks in advance..
Regards,
venu

Hello,
How do you have your Extended Notifications set up now - that it just tells a user once that they have a workitem and never again?
What is the status before they access it, READY?

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!
Margaret

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: 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,
Martin Aabo

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.

Waz

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

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 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?

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 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.

Extended notification languages

G'Day folks,
I'm using Extended Notifications in a multi-language environment on NW 7.0 SP11, and it appears to just get horribly confused when more than one language is involved.
We want to send one notification per workitem, containing the workitem text, in the recipient language.
I've set the following (and tried all kinds of combinations):
Job language for SWN_SELSEN: English
Work item language: English from WF-BATCH (or previous user language)
User logon language: French
User communication language: French
HR master record language: French
User "Workitems in logon language" switched on
Result:
Extended notification header/footer: English
Workitem text: French
Decision links: French
Work item/UWL links: English
What is even more bizarre is that I've set this all up from scratch on a TestDrive system (SP12) and gotten the opposite results with a German user:
Extended notification header/footer: German
Workitem text: German subject, English body
Decision links: not tested
Work item/UWL links: English
I've spent two days experimenting with various combinaitons of these to get a complete notification all in the same language. The only way is if everything is in another language - i.e. the WI is created by a French user, sent to a French user, SWN_SELSEN runs as a French user. Obviously this is not a solution.
Anyone had to deal with this before?
Cheers,
Mike
Cross-posted on SDN and WUG

Mike,
Dont know about this issue but some times I am also facing this kindaa situation, though not in extended notification transaction but in class builder transaction.
When I check any class having implemented any method, say it shows method description in german but when I check the same method descriptions in interface definition it is in english.
I think now I am used to live with it, perhaps there is an OSS note for this but couldnt searched till now (probably stuck with more urgent work)
I am in ECC 6.0 release 7.0 SP 11.
Did you tried to check any OSS note for this?
Cheers

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.

Karri

Extended Notification - Attachment issue

Hi Experts,
I configured Extended notification and its working is fine.
But the issue is attachment is not coming with the notification.
Actually the work item has the two attachments and in Portal UWL i can able to see the attachments.
But the notification triggered by Extended notification, there is no attachment.
The notification should have the attachments as like work item.
Can any one help me on this?
Thanks in Advance,
Nandini.

Extended notification and deadline monitoring

We are using extended notification to deliver new and changed workitem by email. Now we want to update some workflow approval tasks to add deadline notification. In SWU3 workflow customizing, we had setup "Schedule Background Job for Deadline Monitoring" to run job RSWFSLSDLEX (previous version is SWWDHEX).
My question: if there is some outstanding workflow task meet the deadline, will the notification email sent out by job RSWFSLSDLEX or extended notification report SWN_SELSEN? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Donald

Hi,
The deadline monitoring job only creates additional workitems if a deadline is met, the sending of an email job retrieves workitems and sends them as email.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans
