Free Text e-mail in Portal UWL

HI All,
I have a step in my workflow that allows a user to enter a free text message which can be sent to one or more other users. A decision task comes into the users inbox. If they click reject the next step of the workflow is the task which allows them to write an email and send the mail to the requestor.
This works perfectly in R/3, however we are using SAP 4.6c and we are trying to implement this in portal.
The main problem with implementing the workflow in portal is that the job to sync your R/3 workflow inbox with your UWL is only run every minute which means it can take up to a minute for the email task to arrive in the users inbox after they click the Reject button.
In short, we need the UWL to run the email task straight away when the user clicks reject.
Has anyone come across a similar issue? All suggestions are really appreciated
Many Thanks,
Colm

Colm,
I assume you are using the UWL Userdecision handler (which is the one you are getting by default for workflow user decisions, at least in NW2004s).
The "advance with dialog" functionality is not supported with decisions in UWL, and therefore your scenario won't work.
The alternative is:
- The UWL Userdecision handler offers a field to enter text in it at runtime. You can even customize whether that text should be mandatory or not depending on the decision taken by the user.
The only thing I am not sure about is how to retrieve the text in the workflow (I haven't practiced this myself) but I am sure it must hide somewhere in a standard container element.
- Use that text, retrieve it in a muiltiline container element, and then send that by mail with a background task.
Hope this helps,
Patrick

Hi Chittya,
You can crate a URL iview by selecting the URL Iview template while creating a new iview. Pass the URL of your internet address in the URL Iview wizard. For more information on how to create and use URL Iviews check <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/4c/eee2bedf3b4082b14a933e5ee63472/frameset.htm">this</a> helpful link.

Notifications in Portal UWL and external email Id

When we run the workflow, the Tasks showup in the Universal worklist but the notifications don't (even though they appear in R3 Business workplace). Is this correct? DO we need to do some settings to take care of this. We also need to send the notifications to the employee's external internet email Id. But this too is not working. I have checked SCOT. everything is fine.
Note: for the external email, I have not done any special task/setting in the workflow. The notification is being sent to an agent(position). and for the employee occupying this position I have specified the external email in infotype 105. Do I need to do any thing else?
For my client, I need the workflow FYI notifications to go to:
1. Their Universal worklist in the portal and
2. their external internet email Id.
Could anyone please guide me how to go about this?

You need to set up the forwarding email address in SO36 for every user and also tick the 'Also place in Inbox' box, to use in SendMail step, choose type as G and the user id with US prefix as the recipient, this will send it to both external email and UWL( to UWL only after step 2 below).
>
> 2. For the notifications to reach the Portal UWL (universal worklist) I need to get SONIC software installed? Is this free? Is it a plug-in? where to look for it? with SAP?
SONIC is short for SAP Office Notification Connector, you can search for it on scn itself.

Approval email and Portal UWL

Dear all
I want to configure SRM to send emails to the approvers and have a link to logon in SRM to approve in SRM (online approval). That is working perfectly if the user connects to SRM.
But what I need to put as ITS_DEST attribute or other info to be able to logon through the portal UWL address
PS: SRM 5.0 using the report RBBP_NOTIFICATION_OFFAPP to generate the email
Thanks in advance
RD

Hi RD,
You can use the ITS_DEST attribute or you can also use the DEF_URL1 and DEF_URL2 fields on the report RSWUWFMLEC (SRM 4.0). You can assign the UWL URL or anyother URL you wish to see in the notification on this report and save it as a variant.
If you are in SRM 5.0,
The input fields for standard notification texts and logon URLs that belonged to the old transmission report (RSWUWFMLEC) are no longer available because the notification contents can be specified more flexibly with the help of BAdI BBP_OFFLINE_APP_BADI. Similarly, you no longer have to specify the return address because this can be replaced by the recipient's address in the transaction for SAPconnect inbound processing (transaction SO50). (If SAPconnect inbound processing has not been activated, the response mail [decision mail] is sent by default to the WF-BATCH user, as was also the case prior to SRM 5.0. The return address in method SMTP_INBOUND_ADDR_GET of BAdI BBP_OFFLINE_APP_BADI can also be overwritten.)
Schedule the job with this variant and it can send out couple of URLs if needed. You can also customize further using the BADI mentioned above.
Pls assign points of answer is usefull !

Is there a Simple free Text Editor for Belle?

Symbian has been around for a very long time but I'm still struggling to find a
simple free text editor where I can create a *.txt file and write down information in it or perhaps I don't know about it, so I was wondering is anyone familiar in any free text editor compatible with Belle?
Thanking you in advance.
Bobak.

I use Notes. You know, standard notes. And easiest way to get this "file" out from the phone is to send it by e-mail.

Hi,
You can call the iView directly by using NavigationTarget..
http://myServer:50000/irj/portal?
NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/myFolder/myRole/myIview
Plz note that the iView you are calling should be part of a Role.
And the PCD location of the iView in the Role must be given for Navigation Target.

Free Text Search

We have an app that allows user to maintain a table of z-master data.
One of the fields provides the customer the opportunity to write notes into a type string field.
This is free text entry.
We would like to be able to search the table based on this field in a user-friendly and casual manor.
Think eBay or craigslist type searches.
perhaps
     honda black -red
     (accord,civic)
    "NC" | "SC" | "VA" | "GA"
I'm hoping there might be a fuction module, class/method, search help already set up
The key is it needs to be user-friendly and somewhat intuitive
Thanks...
...Mike

Wht exactly do you want Mr.Mike...are you expecting the Table Output to be like text-editor so user can enter what he want??
That can CL_GUI classes(From ABAP report we can create not sure your table can do this for you)
and what this search functionality...............Do you have knowledge of SAP netweaver In portal you can achieve this easily i Believe???

Automatic PO creation of free text PR

Hi!
We have all our PRs in free text since we are not yet using material master. One of our purchase organization will only order from one vendor and they will enter that vendor and price in the PR. Is it possible to create a PO automatically from that PR without a material or source list?
Sincerely
Anders

Hi
Thank you very much. Is it possible to restrict the automatic creation to a certain purchase organization?
If I understand you right:
1) Create PR with item category D Service
2) Activate automatic PO creation in ML91
That will create POs for all PRs created as a service?
Sincerely
Anders

Automatic PO from PR [free text base procurement ]

Hi SAP gurus ,
I have following question ,
I am not using material master , it is a free text base procurement .
even there are no contracts in place .
Purchasing is only PR - PO w.r.t. & without respect to PR - GR - IV . etc.
How can I create a Automatic PO w.r.t. PR ?
Can anybody please advice?
Thanks ,
Prasad

Hello,
1. Check auto PO tick in Vendor Master record.
2. Create Info record for material group which you are going to use in PR. This is important for net price, purchasing group and tax code which will be mandatory in PO.
3. Assign Source of supply as this info record in PR.
4. Create auto PO in ME59N t- code.

I have an iPhone 4S and my friend has two ipods with two Apple ID's. Why can't he receive messages on "Message" on one and he uses a free text app on the other which receives messages from my phone just fine.

My friend has two ipods. Two Apple ID's and on one ipod he has a free text app on it and only Message on the other. He cannot receive a message from my iphone 4S on the one with Message, but receives it fine on the one with the free text app.
He can also receive a message from my iPad on the one with Message.
My question is how can he recieve a text from my iPhone to the ipod which has a different Apple ID than the other but does not have a free text app?
Also on the ipod he has the free text app he has not upgraded to ios7 and won't.

Are the use the correct email address for the contact? Those are listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. When Messaging somene the iOS devices used the email address (or phone number if applicable) listed in the Contact app for that person.
Thus, it appears the you Contact apps only has that one email address listed for the person you are trying to Message.
If he can send you a Messages can you reply to it? If so save the sender to your Contact app.

Hi All,
I am using set_text_as_r3table of class cl_gui_textedit after creating a container .This is called from another screen.
Now if I am trying to read the text using either GET_SELECTED_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE and GET_SELECTED_TEXT_AS_STREAM, for the first time its reading fine but if I enter text and then press cancel ( I have save and cancel buttons in the screen ) and goes back to first screen and again come to the screen where there is Free text then it still shows the Text even though i use DELETE_TEXT ...Flush...buffer refresh etc etc....I tried clearing container objects as well b4 creating new objects.Still there is no help.
Is there any thing that I am missing ?
Any help is appreciated.
BR,
krishna.

Hi Guys...thanks for the interest .I already tried those but with no luck.I also tried Free method but it gives me a dump for someother reason.
Its really strange as if I read that text it shows the internal table is empty.So potentially it is deleting the text but some how the screen is holding that value.
any help is appreciated.
BR,
Krishna.
