Issues regarding workitem text

HI All,
I see the Workitem text mismatches when compared to Workitem lying in SBWP and the email send to ms outlook and also surprisingly when compared to SBWP and SOST I see the same mismatch.Can some one help me in finding the issue and also the first line of the email is the subject or title and from second line my custom workitem text follows I want to start the custom workitemtext from third line.I want a line gap in between the subject and the custom workitem text.
Issue ) For example I am a calling text element ZXXXX created in so10 in workitem text .
ZXXXX = This Workflow was started by &INITIATOR& on &ACT_DATE& at &ACT_TIME&.
Note: &INITIATOR& , &ACT_DATE& and &ACT_TIME& are the variables created in the custom Decission task.
Below is the code I have written in workitem text choosing command line option.
INCLUDE 'ZXXXX' OBJECT 'TEXT' ID 'ST' LANGUAGE 'EN' .
Output : 'This workflow was started by on at.
Please let me know the solution to fix this.
Thanks and Regards,
Srini..

Hi,
ZXXXX = This Workflow was started by &INITIATOR& on &ACT_DATE& at &ACT_TIME&.
&INITIATOR&, &ACT_DATE& and &ACT_TIME& are the variable is known in standard text element i.e. in tcode SO10. This variable may not known to workflow. Hence I would request you to follow the specific.
Declare the text element ZXXXX only upto value 'This Workflow was started by'.
ZXXXX = 'This Workflow was started by'
and use this workitem text as
Workitem text = ZXXXX by &_WI_INITATOR& on &ACT_DATE& at &ACT_TIME&.
&_WI_INITATOR&, &ACT_DATE& and &ACT_TIME& are the variables of workflow container i.e. workflow container element.
Thanks

Facing some langauge issue in Workitem Text transalation

HI Experts,
I am facing some problem in a Custom workflow created by me. The scenario is like that, I have to show the Doc_nam in the WORKITEM TEXT dynamically, which I have picked from the container element and this Doc_name in linked withe Business Object APPR_DOC.
Now the workitem is sent to the approver. If the approver is logged in EN ( English) lang, then I found the workitem text along with Doc_name is displayed dynamically as per the requirement. But if the approver is logged on in IT(Italian) then, I found that the workitem text is sent as it is, i.e. ' Approve &_WI_OBJECT_ID.DOCUMENTNAME& '. This is happening in the same client for different log on's with different Langs.
I have tried all the possible way like Maintaining translation in SE63, Maintaining the Personal settings and many more. but could not find the way to solve the issue.
Can anybody guide me the right way to solve the issue?
Thanks & Regards,
Sriyash

First of all, make sure that the attribute is translated. Log in to the system for example in italian and open SWO1 and object APPR_DOC. Instantiate one object, and see whether the DOCUMENTNAME attribute gets translated.
You might also want to check if these document names are event translated. They are most probably translated somewhere in SPRO. Maybe you need to log in to the system with other languages and maintain the object names in that way to get them translated. Anyhow, I am not sure about this part - your functional consultant might know this better.

How to redefine workitem text

Hi,
I want to redefine the workitem text of a standard SAP task (Task 10008212, check shopping cart in SRM). Using the transaction pftc_dis I changed the work item text and I can see only the redefined customer text when I display this task again.
But the issue the workitem text change is not reflecting in the workitems for shopping carts.
Can someone please let me know if this is the correct way to add a customer definition for a work item text.
Regards,
Soorya

Hi,
I followed the following procedure:
1) Translation of f the task work item text (translation with SE63, transport object with key R3TR PDTS, ex: R3TR PDTS 91000031)
2) Imported to production the missing translation (transport order created using SLXT)
3) For the existing workitems I changed manually, using LSMW, the text using transaction SWI1; Edit -> display workitem ; goto -> technical workitem display; Edit -> Change; execute "Change workitem text
Kind regards

Unicode Issue - Corrupted long texts in Plant Maintenance Work Orders

we're having an issue regarding corrupted texts in a Unicode system. here's the scenario:
- long text came from 4.5b wherein, of course, the japanese characters are viewable either in EN or JA logon
- now, this long text when viewed in our acceptance/testing system which is already, take note, already in unicode long text is garbled. both in EN and JA logon long texts are garbled. we are expecting that since the system is already in unicode it can now support code page for japanese.
(here's the tricky part -- the one seen in the field is properly displayed but when trying to view the complete long text, those that are not in the field are garbled.)
- we also have some scenarios that came from 4.5b, when viewed in the testing system while not unicoded - it's garbled in EN. this is normal since it's still non-unicoded. and of course when viewed using JA logon it's not corrupted anymore. we're expecting that this will also be the same with the issue above. but it's not.
please see link for screenshots. [http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/9760/unicodeissuee.jpg|http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/9760/unicodeissuee.jpg]

i know it's weird.
but then i talked to a friend, she's an abaper. she said that those that can be converted or properly viewed are texts elements in database tables and those that are like free texts or comments can not. and there's no possible way for this but to manually retype everything.
makes sense right.

Characters in workitem text

Hi Experts,
have an SRM WF triggering, approver is German. He receives workitem in German translation.
Issue:
a) the workitem text has few junk characters in the beginning of the text and end. Inbetween the text is properly translated in German.
What could be the reason?
SRM version is 5.0 and Support pack is SAPKB70009.
Thanks,
Aditya

Hi,
Please logon system in German and check the workitem text in PFTC_DIS transaction.
If the static text is not garbled, I think it is some dynamic container value. In that case please check your system is Unicode or Non-Unicode.

Masa

I am having an issue regarding a placed order via customer service department

I recently relocated to Anchorage Alaska as part of a permanent change of station per the United States Air Force. I was initially located on the East Coast in the lower 48 and at the time of activating my contract I had purchased two separate Iphone 4 devices. I also recently went in to a store in February to purchase a Nexus 7 as well.
Upon arrival in Anchorage I had multiple issues regarding the Iphone 4 devices including being unable to send and receive text messages & imessages, unable to make phone calls, dropped phone calls, unable to utilize GPS, as well as not being able to access general account information and use anything related to web browsing or data usage. It was determined that because the Iphone 4 operates on the 3g network and Verizon does not have a 3g network in Alaska, as a result I was utilizing an extended service network from another carrier. As a result of this I am only able to use my Iphone 4 devices while connected to my wi-fi network while within my home, which is totally unacceptable.
I was not made aware that I would be dealing with this when I moved to Alaska and inquired as the the use of the devices I currently owned prior to purchasing the tablet. I was assured by three separate store employees one of which being a manager that all devices would function at 100% efficiency including the Iphone 4s. In fact I was recently billed 350$ for roaming charges last month, which prompted me to speak with a representative via the online chat regarding the significant increase she said that she was unable to process any sort of credit to the account regardless of what I had been told at a local Verizon store where I purchased the tablet.
As a result of all of these mishaps since arriving here in Alaska I determined I was in need of newer devices that utilize the 4G LTE network currently provided by Verizon in Alaska. I know for a fact that the 4G LTE works great up here because my Nexus 7 tablet runs flawlessly and does not incur roaming charges when utilizing the 4G LTE network.
Yesterday I attempted to contact Verizon through the live chat feature regarding upgrading two of the devices on my account. The live chat representative immediately asked me when my upgrade date was. Upon telling her my upgrade date 9/29/2014 she told me I should contact the customer service department as I might be eligible for an early upgrade. I then proceeded to contact the customer service department using my Iphone 4.
My attempt to speak to anyone in the customer service department resulted in a merry-go-round of being put on hold 6 separate times by two different employees, both of which had me wait for more than an hour while they attempted to speak to a manager to gain approval for an early upgrade. The first rep seemed almost sure she would be able to have my devices upgraded early especially considering the issues I was having regarding service.
The second rep seemed newer and was very dodgy about my questions and was very unwilling to help at first. He even mentioned that I had been a Verizon customer for almost two years, had never missed a single payment and had outstanding account history which should have garnered some sort of importance to the level of my request. But I digress, during this time I was disconnected from the call twice from each separate representative.
Both reps assured me they would call me back, I never did get a call back from either one of those reps and I was becoming very frustrated having waited four hours trying to find some sort of solution to my current predicament.
After waiting an hour for the second representative to call back I grew impatient and contacted the customer service department, was put on hold again, and finally reached a third customer service representative who was able to provide a solution for me.
I explained everything I had been dealing with to Cory ID # V0PAC61, both regarding the phones, the issue of the level of service I was receiving, the dire need for working devices and the multiple times I had been disconnected. I explained to him as a result of these issues I was certainly considering switching to a different provider, a local provider even who could provide me the adequate service that I require for my mobile devices.
I explained to Cory that I had been with Verizon for almost two years, and I had been on a relatives account prior to owning my own Verizon account and had never received this kind of treatment when trying to work towards a simple solution. Cory proceeded to tell me he needed to put me on hold to see if there was anything that could be done regarding the upgrades of the device considering all of the trouble I had been dealing with.
After Cory reconnected with me in the phone call he was able to successfully reach a solution by allowing me to upgrade my devices. We conversed about the options available and I eventually decided to upgrade both Iphone 4 devices to Moto X devices as we determined those would be sufficient for my needs while in Alaska. I also proceeded to add two Otter Box Defender cases to the order so that the devices would have sufficient protection. Cory inquired as to whether or not I would like to purchase insurance for the phones as well and I opted for the $5.00 monthly insurance which including damage and water protection.
Cory explained to me the grand total for the devices which included an activation fee of $35.00 for each device, $49.99 for each Otter Box case, and an additional $50.00 for each device which would be refunded as a rebate upon receipt of the devices and activation, a rebate that I would be required to submit. Cory explained to me that the devices would most likely arrive Tuesday of 6/17 and no later than Wednesday 6/18.
Cory took my shipping information and told me everything was all set and the only thing left to do was to transfer me to the automated service so that I could accept the 2 year agreement for both devices. I thanked him very much, took his name and ID# so that I might leave positive feedback about his exemplary customer service and was then transferred to the automated service.
Once transferred to the automated service I was then prompted to enter both telephone numbers for the devices that would be upgraded, I was then required to accept the new 2 year agreement for both devices and after doing so I was required to end the call. I did so in an orderly fashion and expected a confirmation # to arrive in my email regarding the placed order.
I have never received a confirmation email. I decided to sleep on it and assumed a confirmation email would be sent sometime tomorrow. Nothing has since been received however. I woke up early this morning around 6AM Alaska time to speak to another live chat representative, Bryan, in the billing department who assured me the order was currently processing and verified the order #. I asked him whether or not it was typical for a customer to not receive a confirmation email for an order placed and he said it can sometimes take up to 2-3 business days. He then stated that he had taken note of the issues I was experiencing and told me he would transfer me to the sales department as they would be able to provide more information regarding the shipment of both devices and a confirmation email, as he stated he did not want me to have to wait any longer than necessary to receive said devices.
I was then transferred to Devon in the sales department via the live chat service where I was then required to repeat everything I had said to both Bryan and the other representatives I had spoken too. After a lengthy discussion and repeating everything I have just wrote he told me the order was indeed processing and that he would send a confirmation email in the next 30 minutes.
That was 2 hours ago. It is now 8am Alaska time and I still have not received a confirmation email regarding my order. I was sent an email by Verizon an hour ago stating I had a device to "discover". The email contained no information regarding the shipment of my device, the order confirmation number, or anything regarding my account. The email I received was a typical spam email asking an individual to check out the current available phones and sign up for a new contract.
All I want is a confirmation email to assure that the devices are being sent. I need my phone for work and to communicate with my family in the lower 48. I desperately need to make sure that the device is in fact being sent to the proper address, this is why a confirmation email of the order is so important. I do not care about the shipping speed I just want what I ask to be taken care of for a change. I would hate to sit here unable to determine what the status of my devices are only for the order to be stuck in "processing" limbo and be unable to receive the devices when I was told they would be sent.
I feel I have been given the run around treatment way more than is typically given with any company when an individual is trying to work towards a solution. I have been patient and cordial with everyone I have spoken with, I have not raised my voice or shown stress or anger towards the situation I have only tried my best to work towards a solution with anyone I have spoken too but I am becoming increasingly frustrated with this situation.
Any help regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated. This situation has left a sour taste in my mouth and if the devices were indeed not actually processed in an order, or they were not shipped correctly, or in fact if the order had never existed at all it will only deter me from keeping my Verizon account active and affect my decision to switch to another provider.

Hello APVzW, we absolutely want the best path to resolution. My apologies for multiple attempts of replacing the device. We'd like to verify the order information and see if we can locate the tracking number. Please send a direct message with the order number so we can dive deeper. Here's steps to send a direct message: http://vz.to/1b8XnPy We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Issue regarding job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_STARTUP_DP

Hi,
We are facing an issue regarding an event triggered job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_STARTUP_DP.
Details of the job
ABAP Program -> RSAL_BATCH_TOOL_STARTUPDISP
User -> DDIC
Job Frequency -> Event Periodic
Event -> SAP_MONITORING_STARTUP_DISPATCH
We performed Database Refresh and this job has come from Source System. We have deleted the job in Target System but after that also we are getting continuous error message in SM21.
Error message is as follows:
14:33:36 DIA 001 000 SAPSYS EA S Failed to reschedule a periodic job
14:33:36 DIA 001 000 SAPSYS EB C > Job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_STARTUP_DP
On digging down we got the below information in SM21 regarding the error:
Documentation for system log message EA S :
This message is output by one of the job schedulers active in the
system (e.g. time or event-based scheduler). It indicates a problem
related to the database. An attempt was made to reschedule a periodic
job and write the respective control data in the database. This error
occurred for one of the associated database operations (for example,
INSERT or UPDATE).
Another cause of the error is failure to generate a new job ID number.
A subsequent message will point this out.
The following courses of action are possible:
Check whether there are any other notes on this problem next to this
message in the system log, for example direct messages from the
database interface. These details generally bring you closer to the
actual cause of the problem.
The additional information for this message contains the name of the
database table for which the error occurred.
If you determine that the error occurred during the SELECT access to
table TBTCI, the internal report belonging to this background job has
been deleted. In this case, there is normally a background job in the
'terminated' status, which ended due to runtime error
'LOAD_PROGRAM_NOT_FOUND'. Delete this job to prevent further
unnecessary scheduling on the part of the background processing
scheduler. You must then reschedule the job concerned.
As rescheduling of the periodic job could not be completed
successfully, this job is not executed at first. The background
processing scheduler takes this job and attempts to schedule it again.
Depending on the repetition period, gaps in running the background jobs
can occur for successful scheduling (i.e. the background jobs that were
unsuccessfully scheduled will be missing in the job overview if their
execution date elapsed in the meantime).
Since the next start of the periodic job could not be scheduled
correctly, there is no entry in the job overview for the planned start
date.
If the system failed to generate the job ID number, you will find notes
on what to do next in the long text of the respective system log
message.
We have fixed also Background Object in SM61.
Kindly help to fix this issue. Looking forward for reply.
Thanks,
Soumya

I am also facing similar issue . I found below SM21 entries daily . becoz of this my system performance becomes slows down. no idea which tables are getting filled up due to this .
> Job SAP_CCMS_MONI_BATCH_STARTUP_DP
Failed to reschedule a periodic job
For temporary fix we have changed the below memory parameters when system performance is poor .
EM/TOTAL_SIZE_MB = 16384
ES/SHM_SEGS_VERSION = 2
ES/TABLE = SHM_SEGS
But we need to fix these system log entries as still we are getting these errors. If anybody knows the permanent fix of this error that will be great for us.

Program exit to change workitem text

Hi All,
I have a requirement to change work item text at runtime, i am using program exit to change the task contrainer variable which is being used to display work item text. i have written a code in program exit to update container element, but it's not reflected to change workitem text, when i check in ln workflow log the variable shows with updated value.
Please help to solve issue.
Many thanks,

Hi Gupta,
I used below code to update container element.
CASE im_event_name.
     WHEN swfco_event_after_creation.
        CLEAR l_value.
       CALL METHOD l_wi_cont->get

Can we display a URL in workitem text??

Hi Gurus,
Can we display a URL in workitem text??
I am giving http://www.yahoo.com but it comes as a normal text.
I have give a URL along with Workitem text, So once the approver will check the mail notification in workflow inbox, by clicking on the URL given he can see the other details of that order. Those information can help him out in taking decision.
Thanks & Regards,
Manoj Tiwari

Hi Jocelyn,
Here users will use the business workplace to see the new workitems, and thats why we want to see the URL there itself.
I have checked SCOT and i can see following node.
FAX Telefax
INT Internet
SMTP
X40 X.400
RML Remote Ma
PAG
PRT
I could not find RAW Node.Please correct me if i am wrong.
I have gone through the documentation of report <b>RSWUWFML2</b> and it says "The report sends notifications for work items by e-mail to SAP users who have an Internet e-mail address. This enables users who do not normally use the Business Workplace to be informed about new work items." But we dont want to send the workitem to email address, we want to send it to Business workplace inbox.
I think i was not able to explain you the correct requirement, i am explaining you once again, we will not use any internet email address to notify about the new work item, we will only use business workplace of sap to check or to see new workitem received, and we want url with hyperlink there only.
Grtz.
Thanks & Regards,
Manoj Tiwari

Workitem Text need to display in Webdynpro Application

Hi,
Requirement : Workitem ID need to capture in WebDynpro application along with workitem text. (i.e.., When user clicks on worktitem from UWL, the workitem text should display in Webdynpro applocation.)
I have created workflow and Web dynpro application. I have configured in SWFVISU tcode and assigned parameter in webdynpro application parameters tab. Here, If i click's on workitem, it's opening sap web screen. But i want to open webdynpro application screen.
Kindly suggest to do this..
Advance Thanks & Regards,
Jayaprakash N

Hi Jayaprakash,
If you are not seeing the button "Launch WebDynpro" when you click on your Workitem then your UWL is not configured. There are a couple of steps for that which are provided quite clearly in the link below .
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20f4843e-314f-2a10-2a88-8c4afa20dda6?overridelayout=true
Broadly the steps are:
Re-register your system alias in UWL configuration. The path for this is System Administration / System Configuration /Universal Worklist Administration
After re-registering, the portal will add one XML file for your system. Download the XML file, edit and add Webdynpro option specifying the Workflow Task ID and your custom webdynpro application name
Upload the edited XML file with priority high and clear the cache
In your WDA application define a plug name 'Start' and define the parameter WI_ID type SWW_WIID
In your WDA window define a eventhandler HANDLESTART and inside write the code for reading the workitem id. Create a parameter WI_ID type SWW_WIID also for this eventhandler
Let me know if you are stuck at any point.

Arpan

Change workitem text using PFTC

Hi all,
We have to change some workitem texts adding Shopping cart number. We have changed some of them successfully but we have 2 of them where Shopping Cart Number is not available:
Task 14007938 - Present Changes to Creator
Task 10407972 - Change Rejected Shopping Cart
It is strange because structure REQ is available but Shopping cart number field is not available.
Do you know if there is any other way to do that? I am looking also for OSS notes...
Thx in advance.
Manel

Hi Naz
The Base object (_WI_Object_ID - Leading Object) in the this task is of type BUS2014.
1) Create a subtype of BUS2014 and do the delegation between the two. (This will enable new attributes to be referenced directly using BUS2014.
Use this link to know more on delegation:
Business Object Delegation - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
2) Create a new virtual attribute in that subtype which calculates the value of the contract
Following links can guide you to create Virtual Attributes
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-39432
**************** - Working with Business Objects
3) Now include the value in the standard task -> PFTC-> Task Type as TS -> Task as 20000172-> Display ->Select tab Basic Data-> then Menu Item Edit ->Work item text - Redefine
Use the new attribute created for value to display the value. ( by delegation, you can now refer to this new attribute of Z subtype using _WI_Object_ID - Leading Object
