Is Webdynpro devt. mandatory to access workitems in UWL

Hi all,
We have some custom workflow objects running on SAP R/3 system. All workflow approvals are done using SAP GUI only (i.e SBWP transaction). Now we are planning to implement Enterprise Portal.
So for accessing the workflow in the portal UWL - Is it mandatory to develop "Webdynpro ABAP/Java" programs for each workflow approval task ? Or Is there option to access the workitems directly in UWL wihtout any extra developments ?
Regards,
Anbarasan K

Hi,
It is not necessary to develop new applications. You can launch the transactions/screens from UWL too.
Anyhow, I have to say that they will not always work perfectly, and the users might not be happy about the experience when everything else is browser based web applications but some things will work with SAP GUI (this might not be so big problem if the users are already familiar with SAP GUI). Just test it and you will see how it works.

"Page not found or not available" error when accessing workitem from UWL

Hi SAP Gurus,
I encounter a perculiar problem in our portal system, was wondering if any of you guys encounter it before.
When one of the users accesses the UWL screen and click on a particular workitem(approve trips), he gets a portal error message "Page not found or not available".
Usually we get this message if the user does not have some form of authorization, but the things is I have setup the permissions of the UWL for "end-user" for "everyone" and all existing roles in the portal.
heres our systems setup:
-R/3 4.7
-ITS 6.2
-EP7
-Authentication through LDAP server, the roles in the server are tied to the groups that the LDAP ID is tied to.
The funny thing is, only this particular user has the problem, other users with the same roles didn't encounter such message. Also, the user do not have problem accessing to other UWL workitems, (eg, leave approval, claims, etc) only the Trips Approval have the problem.
Anyone have any ideas? Could it be some roles in the R/3 side. Any suggestions?
As usual, point will be awarded to useful answers.
Regards,
Jansen

Answered for myself. My situation related to the Credit/Dispute Management application. In my case, a standard task type was also defined for another application. I had re-prioritize the xml configuration for Credit Manager, and modify the xml to include a system alias within the item configuration. Now, my item is using the correct configuration and tasks are launching correctly from the UWL.
Thanks!

PS - Did not need to do back-end configuration.

Error while employee accessing the rejected leave request workitem in UWL

Hi
I am getting this following error while employee accessing his rejected leave request workitem in UWL.
Leave application is working properly to place the leave request and to approve the request, But am getting this below error when employee try to open the rejected leave request workitem through UWL.
Application error occurred during request processing.
Details: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.sal.core.DispatcherException: Wrong WebDynpro-URL: no application name specified

Error while running leave request Workitem from UWL

HI,
While running the workitem from UWL in MSS we are getting the following error
URL http://sapdev.rediffsap.net:8000/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/ess~lea/LeaveRequestApprover call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available
i.e its is not launching the Web Dynpro application.
As result I have checked the following :-
1) Maintained entries as per SAP note 779075.
2) Alias for the portal system has been set to SAP_WebDynpro_XSS and UWL has been registered with this alias.
3) check entried for Task - TS31000007 APPLICATION - CatManagerApprove and PACKAGE - sap.com/msscatapproval which are set in T-code SWFVISU.
Plus I have also tried the following changes.
1) All the services in SICF are activated.
2) I have tried setting the WEBASPATH to blank and set it to /webdynpro/dispatcher and /webdynpr/dispatcher/sap.com but it does not test the WAS connection as correct, but running the Workitem still results in the same error.
I am running out of ideas now to correct this. Please help.

Workitems in UWL

Dear Guru's
We have a problem opening webdynpro when clicking on a workitem in the UWL. The following error appears:
Service not reached:
URL http://caliban.carectrl.lan/webdynpro/dispatcher/com.sap.xss.hr.lea.appl/LeaveRequestApprover call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available.
Finding possible solutions in sap note 779075 and the link, /thread/1262333 [original link is broken], we followed the exact corrections. The step we took:
- correct packages in transacton SWFVISU
- Define sytem alias parameter for task TS12300097
- register the work items in the UWL
- emptied cache from UWL
The XML file looks okay now (see info below), however clicking on the remaining or new work items in the UWL still results in the same error. Why is the UWL still looking at com.sap.xss.hr.lea.appl and not at sap.com/ess~lea ? Are we missing some steps ?
Help needed.
Kind regards.

Hi all,
Thanks for your reply. In order to your comments I think I found another interesting thing, namely that our customer has defined its own UWL configuration with prioriy set to the highest level. Keeping this in mind the Iview from this configurationname is not modified while registering the work items for the standard UWL.
So we downloaded the configuration xml file and changed the path form com.sap.xss.hr.lea.appl to com.sap/ess~lea and uploaded this new xml file in the portal. Clearing the cache did not resolve the problem. Also adding the SYSTEM_ALIAS in SWFVISU and the xml did not work.
Digging deeper in the problem we found out that the URL was incorrect and not referring to the local host.

Error when executing workitem in UWL.

Hi all,
we are getting a workitem in the inbox with text
"Error when generating idoc from MC doc " .
when I am trying to execute a workitem in UWL its giving error that "workitem is reserved for a different agent ".
Regards,

hi.....
          it might be because someone might have designed a workflow in such a way and would have delegated there business object so that some application is trigerring his/her workflow which is producing such a message.
example:
              some one migght have created a workflow for purchase order change and would have delegated their business object. So whoever changes any purchase order then this workflow gets triggered........
solution:
              if you could find the business object related with this workitem then you can remove the delegation.

Multiple approval of workitems in UWL

Hi,
I am working on a workflow in SD related to bidding/entitlement management. There is a client request that, the user should be able to select multiple workitems in UWL and then click 'approve' to approve the multiple workitems selected. If so, how?
Thanks,
Sheik.

Hi,
Normally UWL iViews appears with radio button for each of the workitem in the list.
It can be customized using Decision Views. For e.g. converting radio boxes to check boxes to enable
mulitple choices etc.
Look into Decision View configuration part of the UWL.
Hope it will give some pointers.

Executing/accessing workitem(approv./rejects on BSPage ) from Outlook

Hi
Could you plz guide me on the following requirement.
A request should be approved by manager. And its a BSP application. Both request creation and approval is through BSP pages. I understand we have to generate(from WF_EXTSRV) a WF Task with reference to Approval BSP page. And include the same task in the workflow. So whenever a request is created, a workitem will be sent to manager's SAP-inbox. so when workitem is executed approval BSP page will be opned in a browser where manager will either approvr/rejects[he will also provide reason on the page].
But the business process is such a way that manager will execute the workitems only from outlook.
So now my question is, workitem should be availble in outlook for manager's access. How a mail can be sent to manager's inbox with links to workitem, whenever a request is created. So that when clicked on the link, work item should be executed & approval BSP page should be open in browser. Manager will either approv/reject the request which is in process. And then manger's action should be sent back to workflow.
Please let me know what configuration is required in order to achive this requirement. let me know where can i find the help(URL) for this configuration.
Regards,
KR

Open PDF Adobe form from workitem in UWL

Hi,
We have a requirement in which a workitem is gettng generated from workflows, And it comes in UWL, So when we execute that workitem it should open a adobe form for notificaton so that approver can reject or approve that notificaton in PDF, But it is openng a SAP transaction rather then adobe form.
we are on ECC 5.0 and portal verion is 7. we are using standard workflow WS5000041 which generates the workitem. It works perfectly fine in ECC 6.0, As there are different standard workflows in ECC 6.0 but the working is same.
Thanks.

HI
I think you might have missed out to configure the respective task ID and its respective visualization parameters in the SWFVISU transaction.
Iam not sure what is exactly the flow in the ECC5.0 but if you look at the workflow template , it again incudes a subworkflow, in which you actually have the approve form standard task the task number is TS50000075 and in the swfvisu txn the task is already configured with visualization paramters as Webdynpro aplication and Name sape sa SAP, I think you have to add one more parameter in the DYNPARAM

No Workitems in UWL

Hello friends,
I have customized the ESS leaverequest using the standard WF12300111.
Workitems for leave approve appear in my SAP Business Workplace, but not in the SAP NetWeaver Universal Worklist (UWL).
I am using EHP4.
What would be the reason?
Edited by: Meeeee on Sep 26, 2011 2:16 PM

Check the configuration of SAP_WebDynpro_XSS
did you do the JCo connection ?
Here is the help documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/92
/a88931f2dd4631b9e8d530697d89c9/content.htm
in regards to this parameter.
IF the LeaveRequestApprover application is deployed on the SAP_Local
System, you needed the system alias of SAP_LocalSystem in the
Webdynpro Launch System value. With this setting when the user
manager clicks on the item, it will work fine.
the system SAP_Webdynrpo_XSS should have maintained the WAS properties
with the port of the portal. This is for normal working for
Leave request
the system SAP_Webdynrpo_XSS should have maintained the WAS properties
with the port of the portal.
Have you customised SWFVISU as per note 779075

Error in opening Workitems from UWL

Hi All,
I am trying to open a transaction from the workflow using a dialog task.
when i execute the workitem from SAP business workplace the task gets execute properly.
but when i try to run the same task from UWL it opens the SAP easy access screen.
All my other workitem like leave request approver are getting opened properly from UWL.
This might be related to some UWL configuration. I searched all the forums there are many similar questions but could not get any answer.
Regards,
Umesh Chaudhari.

Hi ,
please find the following solution .it will definitely work .
If you leave configuration is done.
There was an incorrect data in your system. To do these please follow following process.
delete this request using
PTARQ> Delete documents (RPTARQDBDEl)
Please read the report documentation before
deleting the request but it should be safe as it is
a development system.
Please delete this with the above information or delete all
the records for the approver.
After this,, there will be some incorrect workitem in approver inbox.
You need to clear that also by Tcode - SWWL.
Also try following
Can you check if the Pernr used
has correct information like It0105 etc, also the rules are
correctly defined.
For the Employee, First of all check the Period Work Schedule also
the Quotas of the pernr needs to maintained in 2006, Please do
this customisation and it should solve the issue.
Maintain the absence quota in the IT2006 and then try once.
Also make sure that the Settings in Webmo and PTARQ etc all is done
The pernr belongs to the a Rule and have absences defined for him.

Is Webdynpro devt. mandatory to access workitems in UWL
