HR Tasks in SRM UWL

Hello -
We use 2 separate UWL for MSS and SRM -
In SRM we have a test id and assigned the test id SRM UWL (pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/specialist/com.sap.pct.srm.srm70/com.sap.pct.srm.com.fl_common/com.sap.pct.srm.com.fl_iviews/com.sap.pct.srm.com.iv_inbox), which uses com.sap.pct.srm.core.xml. Similarly same test id is available in ECC and corresponding MSS UWL is assigned to the Portal User. ie pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/line_manager/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.iviews/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.uwl and xml com.sap.pct.erp.mss.001.xml.
During testing, we found that HR tasks are being displayed in the "SRM UWL".
We use 2 separate UWL's, one for HR and one for SRM and assumption was the tasks for each would not cross into the other.
I verified the SRM, MSS XMLs and Item Types are unique in the respective XMLs.
Why are HR tasks shown up in SRM UWL - is it because of same user? How can we restrict HR Tasks not shown up in SRM UWL.
Many Thanks.

Why are HR tasks shown up in SRM UWL - is it because of same user? How can we restrict HR Tasks not shown up in SRM UWL.
Yes - Since all the tasks belong to the same user, every thing will show up unless you have configured otherwise.
You could play with your XML configuration files and UWL iview properties to separate the items to two different UWL iviews.
The easiest way would be the following:
There is a parameter called "User Roles" which can be configured while creating a UWL system.
Then this UWL system will only be used for the configured roles. Set this property for your UWL systems with the roles as per your requirement and you should be good to go.
Have a look at the following wiki also:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/TechTSG/(UWL)Role-based+versioning
However, remember that the whole purpose of Universal Work List is to provide a unified view of all the workflow tasks for a given user (from all the backend systems).
Hope that helps !!
Thanks,
Shanti

SRM UWL: Overwrite Inbox-View property excludePreviewSections

Hi,
we are working with an UWL wich combines SRM BRF Workflows and indivdual oney as well. WEe have to use the inbox iview provided by SRM which sets the property excludePreviewSections to "Attributes, Description, Attachments, Notes, UserDecision". So we do not have Description and Attachments for all workitem.
For the non-SRM workitem we still need Description and Attachments - so we took these from the property. Now the workitem descrption appears also for SRM workitems. Is there a way to suppress the workitem text for tasks using the UWL configuration XML?
Best Regards
Mike

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.

Where are tasks/content of UWL stored?

Hello folks,
I'd like to know: Where is the content (e.g. tasks) of the UWL stored? I nearly found everything in the CM (discussions, feedback, and so on), but no UWL-content. Where are the items stored, that can be generated with the following iView? =>com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.ui.UWL
Regards
Steffen

Hello Steffen,
I don't know how much this will help you, but the workflow repository in KM seems to contain (at least some of) the UWL information. However, when attempting to view the UWL content directly from within KM, the content isn't displayable. To test, I created a subscription on that repository and updated the progress of a task assigned to me. A new item was created in the workflow repository at that time, but to reiterate, it contained no displayable content.
Other than that, I know of no other avenue within KM through which any kind of UWL tasks can be accessed. If there is a way, hopefully someone else can shed more light on this topic.
Cheers,
Fallon

How can I create sub tasks in the UWL

Hello All,
I have a requirement where in I am pulling all the SAP Business Workplace notifications into the UWL. In UWL we want to have sub tasks or in other words we want to have selections based on subjects.
For eg. In SAP if there are three workflows running for three diffrent tasks then in UWL I should have an option to choose among the three and have the notifications based on the selected subject.
Let me know how this can be done. Looking forward to you.
Regards
DK

Hi Dipendra,
What i understood from your message is that if you choose a Task for
processing then a notification should be sent based on that task Subject
Is this what you exactly meant or something else.
plese clarify
Thanks & Regards

Can not see the details of the task approved in UWL of ESS

Leave approver can not see the detail of the task approved such as the start and end date of the leave, number of days used, leave quota details of the applicant when he approved it.
Please give your advises!
Regards,

Hi!
Maybe these attributes are not being shown due to the fact that they might have been specified in the "List of Display Attribute to exclude from Preview/Detail area" attribute of the UWL iview currently being used.
As you can see in the Help page:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/de/0a/ad68c125ae496f8c04a25090bd2e3c/content.htm
It states the following about this attribute:
"Enter the names of the attributes which you want to hide from the display in the preview area. These names should be comma separated."
Maybe for the UWL iview currently being used it has been specified some values for this attribute, and so some information for the items such as the start and end date of the leave (along with the others you have mentioned) are not getting displayed in the preview area.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Armando Zaro

Cannot see SWFVISU tasks in Portal UWL after re-registering

Hi,
I am using EP7.01 SP3, ESS 1.0 SP 15, ECC6.
I do not see the tasks listed in SWFVISU in UWL even after registering the system alias in UWL Administrator. I have registered the alias on webflow connector, cleared cache. Logged off,
logged on and I still dont see the tasks.
I additionaly went to R3 transaction SWU_OBUF and synchronized the runtime buffer.
Then registered on UWL Admin, cleared cache.
Any ideas on this?

Hi Pramod,
Thanks you for response.
I have restarted the portal, but it still does not show the tasks especially the ones for leave.
The portal landscape is a Global Portal as the consumer and the HR Portal(ESS MSS and other packages are installed) as the provider.
Im trying this directly on the HR Portal.
Do you think the Global portal has an effect on this?
I need to find a solution for this, but as a workaround is it possible to add the leave itemtypes(there are 3 item types for leave) to the current UWL. For example:
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS12300097.SAP_R3_HumanResources" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="default">
      <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_R3_HumanResources" externalType="TS12300097" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
      <Actions>
        <Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction="" handler="SAPWebDynproLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="WebDynproApplication" value="LeaveRequestApprover"/>
            <Property name="WebDynproDeployableObject" value="com.sap/ess~lea"/>
            <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default=""/>
        </Action>
      </Actions>
    </ItemType>

CRM Tasks in Portal UWL

Hello Everyone,
Specific question for everyone. It is possible to use the UWL to pull in Tasks from CRM 7.0 into the portal. However, when the tasks are launched, I would the details NOT to be displayed in the SAPGUI HTML but in the CRM 7.0 BSP.
Anyone do this before?

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.
Best Regards,
Pedro Nunes

Task Filtering in UWL based on Classification in R3

Hi All,
I trying to find out if there is any option in UWL to filter the Task list by the Task classification given at the R3 side. I am refering to the classification which specify at the task level in PFTC -> Addtional Data-> Classification.
By standard the classifications are: Disciplinary, Peronal, Professional.
Do you have any idea how can i achieve that?
Thanks,
Prakash Pandey

Hi Prakash,
Is this category stored in the workflow container? If so then you can set it up as a custom attribute in the UWL view and then create a filter on this (by modifying the XML for the UWL). If it's not in the container then perhaps you need to write some ABAP code to add it to the workflow container.
I apologise I don't currently have access to an ERP system to check if this attribute is in the container.
Cheers,

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.

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.

Karri

How to see task approver in UWL?

Is it possible to see the current approver of the workflow task in UWL Tracking tab?
NIce Regards,

I suggest to:
Check for the completion of these tasks in log file bcoz even after successfully initializing you cannot guarantee successful completion
And successful completion is necessary to give proper effect.
