From Value in Tasks Tab in UWL

Hi All,
We are using UWL for approving of requests in MSS.
Currently employees initiates a form and submits for the approval. Request comes and sits in the UWL.
Now in the UWL Tasks tab From Column is filled with Intiator of the form.
I want to know from where this column is filled can we change the value of this column?
im using Task TS17900100 for approving the request.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Santosh

Hi,
The From column is the user who created the work item. In your case it is the actual user who submitted the form. In some other cases it might be user WF-BATCH (the workflow system user). You cannot really change the value. If you want something else there, you are able to create your own from (or whatever) column and fill it according to your requirements - anyhow this might require some development/configuration both in portal (UWL configuration) and in backend (you might need to add a new container element (that would include the data) to the task.

Adding custom columns to the tasks tab in UWL

Hi Experts,
We have UWL configured for GP in CE 7.1.
Currently we have standard columns like Subject, From, Sent Date etc. only
I need to add some columns like Project No., Customer No.(GP parameters) to the 'Tasks' tab in it.
These columns are required for all the Work items that appear in UWL.
I have read about adding custom view for a specific task , but not sure how it can be done in my case.
Kindly provide inputs for this.
Thanks and Regards
Aanchal

Hi Aanchal,
i have posted exactly the same problem a few months ago, and no one answered me.
I couldn't find any documentation on how to add custom GP parameters in the universal worklist, in the examples on customizing the UWL XML they always refer to parameters from the r/3 webflow, never GP.
I really can't believe that nobody ever tried to do this and faced this problem!
Please let me know if you find something..
Regards,
Marco.

Can we create an Ad Hoc workflow from a GP task listed in UWL?

Dear All,
Can we create an Ad Hoc Work flow from tasks which are generated using Guided procedures? If UWL does not provide this information can we some how implement the concept of Ad Hoc work flow from each step? The advantage is that when a person gets a task in his plate, he can create an Ad Hoc Workflow to take care of the request within their respective department for reviews and sub reviews.
Thank You,
Mansoor.

Hi Mansoor,
In sub task, even itu2019s linked with main task you donu2019t have a link or any UI to interact with main process. For this reason, itu2019s not possible.
There are standard process roles like Overseer or Owner and custom roles, that is who will interact with each action/block. Assuming you have a manager and a team that will interact with a step in your process, you may define the manager as Overseer and the team group as processor of this step. In this case, you donu2019t have a specific forward feature, but you will treat that defining a group as processor and everyone inside this group may complete the task. The manager, as overseer, can track the process without need "hands on" with that.

Opening application from Tracking tab of UWL

Hi All,
I am editing XML to open WDA application from "Tracking" tab of UWL .
But when I click the link of tasks on "Tracking" tab , explanation of the task is displayed by popup .
I want to open WDA application which displayed data gotten from SAP by workitem ID .
On task tab , links of "Task" tab work collectly , display the WDA application and passed workitem ID .
My procedure is described below .
1. I added the entry at SWFVISU to output the WDA application from "Task" tab .
2. I downloaded uwl.webflow.UWLSETXXX.XML file .
3. On the XML file , I copied entries made by the first process , and I modified the source .
I update just name and defaultview .
- name
before :<ItemType name="uwl.request.webflow.TS91000005.UWLSETXXX"
after: <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.WS91000001"
I had seen UWL support Information of "Tracking" tab items .
Item type of "Tracking" tab is like "uwl.task.webflow.WS91000001" . It does not contain system ID ".UWLSETXXX" .
It is difference "Task" tab and "Tracking" tab .
- defaultview
before : defaultView="DefaultView"
after : defaultView="WorkItemRequestsView"
4. I upload the XML file as the new name "uwl.webflow.UWLSETXXX_new" .
5. Clear cashes .
I notified that there is not "Item type configration name" in UWL support information of "Tracking" tab .
But UWL support information of "Task" tab has the data : uwl.webflow.UWLSETXXX_new in "Item type configration name" .
Does it matter ?
Help me .
I saw the below documents , but I do not resolve the problem .

UWL : Tasks tab auto load

My UWL is customized to show up Tasks as my first tab however, I am having to click on the Tasks tab to pull all tasks from backend. The users shouldn't have to do this or click refresh. They expect to see Tasks when they go to this page. How is this achived?
Thanks,
Winston

Hi Winston,
You need to configure UWL Delta Pull Auto Refresh. This is an optional configuration to optimize the performance and user doesnt need to refresh every time. You can set up the Delta Job for 1-3 mins.
Define ECC Background jobs -
● Background job (for example UWL_DELTA_PULL_1), consisting of a single step of ABAP report RSWNUWLSEL in FULL mode, using a report variant. Run the job once a day.
● A background job (for example UWL_DELTA_PULL_2), consisting of a single step of ABAP report RSWNUWLSEL in DELTA mode (default mode is delta, so report variant is optional). Run the job every one to three minutes (depending on the performance of the back end SAP system).
See further details at -

i said to you that it shouldnt point to ABAP system!
read my solution again
Please ensure system configuration-
>system landscape->system(my system)->Web Application server settings
please check is it pointing to ABAP Server, If yes then change to Java
server then your Application will work.
The two types want different WAS properties. Now if you set
up the WAS so that the BSP works well. There is a possibility that you
can modify the WAS settings when you use WebDynpro launcher. You have
three possibilities to change this:
1. In the UWL connector settings modify the "Web Dynpro Launch System"
property to SAP_LocalSystem. This case the webdynpro uses the URL and
the port of the portal.>> I think this can suit you.
2. In the System Landscape create a new system with the same properties
as the R3_TEST1 but the WAS properties are different. After that you use
the name of the new system as "Web Dynpro Launch System" in the UWL
connector settings. This solution should be used if the SAP_LocalSystem
is different than the necessary WAS settings.
3. You can modify this setting in the configuration also under the
ItemType. You should add the system property and the UWL uses it instead
of the default one.

How can I adda new tab in UWL

Hi Frndz,
As per my requirement I need to a custom tab in UWL, how can I do this and how can I map this to back end .
For example we in plan to show the each task initiator in the new tab..so will create a new custom in back how the mapping will happen from that table to UWL custom tab which I create (work flow is the interface between portal and R/3).
Really appreciate the thoughts.
Regards
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
Have a look at the documentation here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/d6/eddef503944dc6bbe8d81a2cec44e8/content.htm
I am not sure what you mean though about linking this tab back to the R/3. What happens is that the customization is done in an xml file via a WebFlowConnector to the backend system. The information will be pulled to the correct tab if it is correctly defined in the xml file. If you would like to elaborate on your requirement feel free and one of us here in the forum will try to help.
But definitely have a read of that URL above as it will help to understand how the tabs work in the UWL.

Contents of Tracking tab in UWL

Hi experts,
In the tracking tab in UWL, I only see the workflows started by me.
But I would need workflows apporved/actioned by me as well.
Please let me know how to configure this.
Thanks
Krishna

Hi,
That won't happen in tracking tab. You can see the completed tasks by selecting "Completed tasks" (I cannot remember the exact word that they are using) from the dropdown menu in the Tasks tab.

How can I move a task from a Summary Task to another Summary Task in the same task list?

Hey, I tried to move tasks through the SP UI from one Summary Task to other in the same task list, but I didn't find possibility for it.
Then I spent time to learn the SP Client Object Model and now I can read tasks form the list. I see every task has a "FileRef" and a "FileDirRef" field. If I think right these fields show the relation between list elements for example between
a Task and a Summary Task elements.
I changed these fields' values and I tried to Update the ListItem but I got this error message: "Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only."
I really need to move tasks what were created below a wrong Summary Task so please explain a method or pattern how I can do this. (I can create a new Task below to any Summary Task and I can set field values but I hope there is a way to really move tasks (I
mean I should change the right field values somehow.).
I can reach the Task List both on the server and client side so I'm very interested in every solution. PowerShell solution is also good for me.
I'm using SharePoint 2010 SP2.
Thank you for your answer and your time. :)
Csaba Marosi

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to move a task from one summary task to another in the same task list.
We can do it like this:
We can create a Gantt View for this task list, then copy your tasks inside a summary task, then navigate back to the other summary and paste, then go back to original and delete.
Here is another way for your reference:

Strange issue in ListBox - Showing the 'id' contents and not from 'Values'.

Hi,
I have created a custom table control that looks exactly like in 'Partner Tab' of Sales Order. It has Partner type, Partner, Name etc columns. For 'Partner type' column, I am calling function module 'VRM_SET_VALUES' so it shows as 'Sold-to party' , Ship-to Party' instead of SP, WE etc. This works fine.
However, before I display this table control, in PBO, I am populating Partner Type and partner # and passing it to table control columns. It should show like 'Sold-To party' in 'Partner type' column and '0000014' in 'Partner' column. I see Partner # populated correctly, however, instead of showing 'Sold-To party' in 'Partner type' column , it is showing like SP, which is the 'id' value from function module 'VRM_SET_VALUES' . What should I do so it shows the description(content from 'Values' and
not from 'id' ) ?
Niranjan

Thanks for the response.
I had tried converting to text and pass from Internal table to Table control on screen in PBO, however, the width of the column is only 2 characters, so it will display just 2 characters text.
I am wondering how SAP is able to code to show TEXT in 'Partner tab' in Sales Order. I have pasted the contents below from 'Partner tab' of sales order. I debugged the code in program SAPLV09C and screen 1000 and somehow they are populating the text as shown in 'PARTNER FUNCTION' below instead of codes like SH, SP. If I press F1 on field, I see SDPARTNERLIST-PARVW as the field name and the width is 2 characters.
PARTNER FUNCTION        PARTNER #      NAME

Unable to view new tasks in the UWL

Hi all,
I am using EP 7.0 SP8 and backend R/3 4.6C. I configured by Worklist and work items to my UWL with the backend .My Problem is I am unable to view the New OR in Progress Tasks in the UWL but i am able to view the completed tasks in the UWL.
Is the Problem with the backend R/3 version or some thing else?
Please help me..
Thanks and Regards,
Sateesh.

Hi,
Check whether the release rule you are running has the option Auto Allocate (Inventory Tab) is YES.
If it has NO then you have to run the Move Order Pick slip program with auto allocate move orders as YES and order types as pick wave for material allocation to happen.
once material is allocated you should be able to view them in WCB atleast.
After you find them in WCB but not on telnet then check you resource and device setup.
