GP and UWL: Substitution

Hello all,
I have successfully implemented GP with UWL, therefore all GP Tasks are also shown in the UWL.
Yet the main reason for implementing GP with UWL was, that we wanted to use the Substitution functionality of the UWL. I started some GP Processes in order to have some examples to test, but the substitution didn't work for the GP Tasks. All other task were submitted to the user who was defined in the substitution rule.
Does anybody know, if I did something wrong in my configuration?
Kind regards
Lissi

Hello David,
thanx for your quick reply. Is there something like a workaround how I can forward task which should have been executed by me to another person? This means, that the person, who has to execute these tasks should be able to take them over. e.g. if I'm unexpected absent?
I already tried the substitution function provided by GP - yet this functions just works for initiation of a process on behalf on another person.
Kind regards
Lissi

  • UWL substitution and RMPS_SET_SUBSTITUTE in backend

    Hello group,
    I read a thread posted to this forum:
    Re: UWL Substitution Rule- User Search
    It states among others:
    "If you are using the UWLfor workitems instead of the SBWP transaction, then you will need to maintain substitutions only through the portal.".
    Does this mean that you cannot use tcode RMPS_SET_SUBSTITUTE from backend when using UWL?
    From what I can see, they both update table hrus_d2.  But there may be other implications that I do not see?

    I think if you use tcode in backend for substituatiion,user should do in backend only and it may not be available in portal.If you do substitution directly in portal,it will reflect  correctly in both portal and backend,
    You can try both options with tes workflow and see difference.

  • A problem about UWL substitution and GP

    Hi, Guys.
         Can UWL substitution mechanism also include gp task? I have some gp tasks in my uwl. When I set someone as my substitution, all of my tasks can be seen by my substitution(besides gp tasks). Is it a system restriction or just I need to do some configuration?
    Thx.

    Hi Louis,
    Please check this thread: Re: Can I forward o define substitution rules for Guided Prodedure tasks?

  • UWL Substitution not working

    Dear all,
    We have a problem with UWL Substitutions. We have a backend SRM 7.0 system and the users are trying to do substitutions with the option 'Receive my tasks'. When they do this, the substitutes do not receive all the tasks, but only 4 of them.
    We check the SWWUSERWI table and we see 30 tasks assigned to the 'boss' and only 4 of them assigned to the 'delegate'.
    We have also checked that HRUS_D2 table is correctly updated with the substitution.
    Do you know why the tasks are not being updated with the UWL Substitution?
    Is there a way to manually update SWWUSERWI with substitutions rules?
    Thanks in advance and regards,
    Sergio Martinez

    Hi Manchari
    I hope you are well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
    In relation to the scenario that you have described you mentioned wanting to restrict the external users being displayed for Substitution in Internal Portal. You have setup the UME property and People Renderer Profile, Trusted Attributes settings as per the documentation.
    Now in relation to the above could you kindly confirm that after making these changes did you perform the following:
    Clear the UWL Cache
    Restart the UWL Service
    Now regarding the document you referenced this is the official way that we recommend customers to restrict the people picker.  Unfortunately there really isn't another supported way to achieve this.  We just read all users back from the UME/LDAP, etc.  However, the solution in the blog was signed off by our development team as an achieveable way to restrict the people picker so long as KMC is running on the portal.
    http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BPX/Enhancements+to+the+Universal+Worklist+People+Picker
    In NW 7.01 the people picker functionality is provided by a KM component that supports company related functionality. In NW 7.30 UWL no longer uses KM PP. Instead it uses native PP that lacks company related features.
    Kindly ensure the configurations as per the documentation are configured and setup correctly as the smallest discrepancy may be causing this undesired behaviour:

  • Customizing UWL Substitution WD

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement to customize the delivered UWL Substitution funtionality. I have downloaded the ear file from the portal server and built a new custom DC project from it. In order to build the new UWL/Subst DC I had to add some external jars. I created an external library dc project to hold all the jars. This component is not a deployable component, so I built a J2EE server component of type external library and added the public parts from the external library DC as used DC and deployed to the server.
    Then I added the public part of the J2EE server component DC to the UWL/Subt DC, and  now the application builds successfully.
    The problem is when I try to deploy the UWL/Subt DC , I get an error. I tried various ways of referencing the dependencies, but still get the same error. I have made sure from the visual admin, that the deployed libraries are available on the server. This is the error I get.
    deployment aborted : file:/C:/DOCUME1/XXXXX/LOCALS1/Temp/temp33433XXXXXXXXXuwl~sub.ear

    Hi Bala,
    I tried what you have said, but that does not help. I have deleted all the unwanted applications and created a new application with a diff name and deployed, still get the same error. Any other places to check.

  • UWL Substitution Changes

    Hi,
    I am working on portal version EP7 SP 10. We can navigate to Create Substituion Rule screen by
    UWL iView -> select Manage substitution -> Click on create Rule button.
    I need to incorporate following changes in this Screen(view):
    1) Changes in "Assignee" (field with search functionality) and "Assign These Tasks" (it is a drop down box) order.
    Under Standard Implementation, we have "Assignee" as 1st field and "Assign These Tasks" drop down is 2nd field.
    According to requirement, we want "Assign These Tasks" drop down as 1st field and "Assignee" field as 2nd field.
    2) Once user select a Task from "Assign These Tasks" drop down. We have search functionality to select Assignee. The search functionality should fetch the data, for selected task. for eg. If user selects HR Tasks(this is custom task), then in search functionality should search all possible users who are eligible for HR task should be displayed.
    UWL substitution component is based on a Web Dynpro application(tckmcbc.uwl.ui~wd_ui/UWLSubstitution). I have downloaded source code for this component from portal server.
    I am having following question :
    1) Is is feasible to change this code? Does SAP recommend it ? Anyone have already changed some part of this Web Dynpro component?
    2) For my 2nd requirement, one useful OSS note(977069) is available. I am unable to find documentation for function modules(SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUTE_MAINTAIN, SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUTE_DELETE, SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUTE_PROF_GET). Can you please help me in finding documentation?
    Thanks in Advance!!!
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Shrikant,
    I have never worked with Substitution an rules etc.
    As far as ur first question is concerned I am almost sure that u can not change a .ear file( A WD appln).
    Only .pars can be changed. i would suggest u not to waste ur time trying this. Its better to find another way around.

  • UWL substitution with multiple systems

    Hi all,
    I need some help in understanding how an UWL substitution works with multiple systems.
    We are using ESS, MSS and SRM workflows and use UWL for all workflow scenarios.
    All users are using ESS, all managers are using ESS, MSS and SRM.
    In the UWL configuration we defined a role base connection to the backend systems. ESS users can only make a UWL connection to R/3 and not to SRM, manager can make a connection to all systems.
    The problem occurs when a manager assign an other user (not a manager) to manage his of her tasks in case of absence. Because the manager also has the rights to make a connection to the SRM system, the UWL tries now to make this connection with this delegated user. Because the user has no rights to make a connection to SRM an error is generated and no tasks at all are displayed in the user’s inbox.
    If we grant the user right to make a connection to the SRM system, also an error is generated because this user has no user account on SRM.
    Is this a normal behaviour, we only want the user to manage all the managers tasks on R/3 and not on SRM because he/she has no authorisation to do so.
    Kind Regards,
    Evert Schuiteman

    I think this will require a separate development as I feel the forwardind table HRUs_D2 stores only user Id and if you need to set som Personnel number as substitution then the devt. should take care whether any user Id is attached to the the PERNR and then set the substitution.
    Thanks

  • EP7 UWL Substitution - Is it possible to Default to "All items"

    We have just implemented EP7 and have a question on UWL Substitutions.
    On the EP7 UWL iView a radio button selection box appears at the top if you have been set as a substitute by a colleague. 
    By default this selection is set to "My Items" with the other options available being "Items on Behalf of <colleague>" and "All Items".
    My question is, can this be set to be "All Items" as default and if so how?
    Any help you can provide will be greatly received and happily rewarded with points.
    Regards,
    Steve.

    Hi Larry,
    We did receive a response but it was passed on to another department post upgrade so I am not sure it has been tested/implemented yet:
    <b><i>The view above does not contain customisation
    with regards to the priority of 'Work on', 'My Items', ....'All Items'.
    Therefore the priority of these will be the default as per the
    uwl.standard.xml. This xml contains all of these views for example
    <View name="AllItemsView" ........etc.
    You will have to make a copy of these views associated with each
    radio button and place them in the order you wish to have them displayedor assign the necessary priority to each.
    However this is regarded as customization and is not supported
    by SAP.</i></b>
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Steve.

  • UWL Substitution People Picker

    Hai,
    I want to restrict the list of selected users depended of the user which uses the people picker within the UWL substitution functionality. I have asked this question to SAP and they said that it isn’t possible. Does anyone now a workaround, because many customers find it not acceptable that an user can selected anyone he or she likes.
    With kind regards,
    Remco van de Looy

    Hi,
    The workaround that always worked for me is to explain to the customer why there is not really a need for this. Think about it, you're trusting someone to approve $$$s, but you don't trust them to assign a suitable sub.
    From a legal and SOX point of view, the accountability still rests with the person who assigned the sub, SAP is very deliberately designed such that there is no substitution maintenance functionality in the standard system - ONLY the user themselves can assign a substitute.
    For the few customers that insist, you will have to write your own which isn't that difficult. Use table HRUS_D2 - you can maintain that directly without a problem. The actual rules of who can be a substitute is where things get messy.... You may allow people to delegate po approvals down the chain but HR related approvals upwards only. How exactly are you going to implement these things? Or the sales rep who works for one manager and reports to another? It's far easier and sensible to trust people with a lesser responsibility (picking a suitabnle sub) than what you're already giving them with workflow (approving POs, leave requests etc.)
    Hope that helps,
    Mike

  • Symbol and Text Substitution not working correctly

    Hello,
    in „Language & Text“ I have the following symbol and text substitutions enabled, which aren’t working in Pages version 5.1.1 (iMac 2011, Yosemite 10.10.1):
    „- - >“ (written without blank space between the characters) which should be substituted to „➜“.
    In Safari this works, but in Pages it isn’t working.
    Other substitutions work in Pages, for example:
    „! ! s s“ (written without blank space between characters) is substituted to „ẞ“ in Safari and Pages.
    Can somebody help me?

    In Pages v5.5.1 and Yosemite 10.10.1, I can reproduce the injected space issue resulting from your Keyboard > Text substitution for „-->” to „→” . Even if you remove one of the '-', Pages will still insert the space before the right arrow in the result. This is a bug.
    Fix: „..>” will produce the arrow without the injected space.

  • There doesn't seem to be 'symbol and text substitution' on yosemite, i.e. cannot shorten 1/2 or 1/4 as in pages 09

    Has anyone found 'symbol and text substitution' on Pages 5 please?  On Pages 09 you could change the style of fractions i.e. 1/2, 1/4, 2/3 etc.  Thanks

    Text Substitution has moved out of the applications and into System Preferences > Keyboard Text. Fractions that are not present can be constructed from the special characters panel (Edit ▸ Special Characters…). Search on the word fraction.
    If you want to roll your own, then choose the gear selector in the upper left corner of the special characters toolbar, and customize list… . Choose Digits - All. Once Digits - All appears in your left category panel, select it, and then scroll down to the fraction components. These are the small numbers before and after the forward slash. Double-click to place in the With category of the Keyboard Text window.

    I use Symbol and Text Substitution (Preferences - Language and Text) a lot and like to copy my

  • Symbol and Text Substitution Settings File-

    Hi,
    I have two computers with Snow Leopard, and I've made a [large] list of substitutions on one computer. I'd really rather not spend my time manually copying them over from each computer. I've tried looking for a settings files to copy, but I can't find it. The one for words I've chosen to have OS X 'learn' is found in the 'Spelling' folder (~/Library), but I can't find substitutions.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks.

    Go to System Preferences...
    - Language & Text
    - - Text
    Symbol and Text Substitution
    Hit the '+' icon bottom right to add your own.
    Otherwise, you should perhaps look to a 3rd party app, such as TypeIt4Me:

    Be sure whatever you find is snow leopard compatible, of course.

  • Symbol and Text Substitution

    What applications are the Symbol and Text substitutions supposed to work in? Mine don't seem to work in any. Neither the original default ones now ones I have created myself work in a web browser, Mail, Word, etc.
    Any help to get them working would be appreciated.

    I just played with it a little bit before responding to this post.
    MS Excel 2008 it appears that only the copyright and registered symbol worked as listed in the 'Language & Test' preference. The trademark symbol is listed as only typing 'TM' (w/o quotes), however in Excel it required the () to work. Non of the fractions worked.
    In MS Word 2008 everything was the same except the fractions also worked.
    I couldn't get any of the 'custom' ones to function, like type !@ and get Hello.
    I then went to Textedit, and everything worked including the ones I created.
    So it looks like it is hit and miss as to what will work and what won't.

  • MDM Workflows and UWL in CE 7.11

    Hello,
    I am working with MDM Workflows and UWL in CE 7.11.
    For configuring the UWL, we need to set some property of MDM Result Set iView to
