Link in User Decision step not showing correctly in UWL

Hi SAP Experts,
I have a requirement to add a link in a user decision step, this link triggers a custom webdynpro for additional input. When I access the workitem from Business Workplace, the link is showing fine. But when I execute the workitem in UWL, the link is not displayed, instead the code is shown (<a>...</a>). Please advise on what I should do to have the link working. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This same thing was just recently discussed. I just cannot find the thread anymore (well, in that thread there was not really any solution). Basically the hyperlinks in work item do not seem to work in UWL as they should. I don't know if there are any way to make them work. My suggestion is to not use the hyperlink at all and replace that with an action (=button) to the task in the UWL. This can be achieve quite easily by simple XML configuration in portal. If you have worked with UWL this should be quite straightforward for you, or if there is a consultant at the site, who is familiar with UWL, this should be simple for him/her.

Objects and Attachments in User Decision Step not possible

Hi all,
I have designed a workflow where during the 1st step(Archivelink image display) I am able to display archived image, and in the inbox for the first workitem I can see the Objects and Attachments link related to the image.
But my second workflow step(is userdecision dialog), I would like to see the same archived image link as the in the previous workitem under Objects and Attachments.(I dont want to create a new attachement)
Can somebody tell me how can I accomplish this task.
Thnks
Yogi

Hello,
what you need todo is to use a container binding from the single step task from the 1st step where you bind the image object to the workflow container.
Then in the user decision task you create a container element which refers to the image object. Then use a binding to 'send' the object from the workflow container to the task container.
Kind regards,

User Decision Step Link

Dear Experts,
I have created a custom application, in which I have to trigger the workflow. I have created a workflow and this workflow is being called through application using FM: WAPI_START_WORKFLOW. In this workflow there is a user decision step. I want to create a link of application's "change screen" in the user decision step. As I don't have BO object in this workflow; So how should I create the link of change screen?
Regards,
Sohail

Hi Sohail
Starting a workflow using SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW is not a preferred option ; instead use events to trigger the workflow by using SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT - It gives better tracking capability as well as options for queuing.
Coming to your question, Business Object is required, you can not only create a method to display the change screen, but also provide attachments etc....a lot more is possible if you have business object instantiated.

Description changes not reflecting in User Decision step

Hi,
I am displaying the ECM (cc01) description in the workflow user decision step. In this user decision step I do have three options
    1. Changes completed (to move the ECM to next level)
    2. Edit ECM (Calls ECM n change mode CC02)
    3. Cance (standard)
If I choose Edit ECM, and change the description in the ECM and come back to the user decision step, it still shows the older description some cases. In some cases I am getting the updated description in user decision step. In Edit ECM step I am using Z method which is the copy the standard BO method Edit_synchron of ECM to call the transaction CC02.
Z method does not contain any importing or exporting parameters. Also in the workflow<->Task binding I bound ECM <-> _WF_Object_ID.
Thanks,
Muruganantham

2 case:
1.) Description not changing: How the description get populated in user decision step ? Is it some varibale get populated based on select query ?
2.) Description get changed: Please check the new workflow instance get created and you can only see changed text in new instance. Already triggered workflow will not show the changed value.
Please check the worklow design, whether its creating new workflow instance on every change in ECM ?

Url link in User Decision workflow step

Hi Experts,
I had created a workflow for "Employee transfer" process using SWDD tcode.
I had a created a workflow step with type as "User Decision".I had included "Approve" & "Reject" decision options.
Now i want to include URL link along with "Approve" & "Reject" in the user decision workflow step (i.e) The manager needs to see the URL link along with "Approve" & "Reject" in his SAP workflow inbox.
Can anyone guide me...
Regards,
Krishna Balaji T

Hi Krishna,
I understand your issue. I have faced a similar issue in my project.
Here is the solution!
To add link of a URL you need to have the binding with the BO of the transaction your are refering to. To do this, you need to bind your BO event (triggering event) to the workflow container and then the workflow container to task container. This BO value should flow from event-> workflow -> task container to get the link in the User Decision.
To do the binding you need to follow the following steps:
1. Go to t-code SWDD and open your workflow template.
2. Go to Basic Data (cap sign button at the top of the screen) or click Ctrl + F8
3. Go to Start Events tab.
4. In the Object type enter your BO name (BO for the transaction you need to add as link), in Event of object enter the BO event. This would serve as the triggering event for your workflow.
5. Click on 'B' i.e. Binding Defined, click on generate automatic binding. It would automatically generate the appropriate binding for the workflow. You can also alter the binding as per requirement. This binding would ensure that the URL comes under 'objects and attachments' section.
6. Click on 'C' i.e. Start Condition. A dialog would open, select the appropriate start condition for the workflow. Check the condition before saving (recommended).
6. Click on 'A' to Activate the binding and start condition. All 'A', 'B' and 'C' would get green.
7. Save the changes made and activate your workflow.
8. Do the binding between the workflow and the user decision step. Select automatic binding (recommended).
You can also refer to the similar thread that I had provided solution to. This would help you resolve the issue!
Re: URL of site has to be attached along with the mail
Hope this helps!

"You can also" link in UWL work item when using user decision step in workflow

Hi,
Just want to check if anybody has tried adding links to this section in the UWL when using user decision step? I need to pass some custom links which will be calling some webdynpro applications and backend transactions. I have read somewhere that Ineed to modify the XML file but don' t know how the next steps once I have defined (i.e. how to handle those links).
Thanks in advance.
Rammel

Hi Rammel
I hope you are keeping well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
Based upon your scenario you mentioned that:
You want to add links to the "You Can Also" section in the UWL with user decision steps
In an effort to pass custom links (calling web dynpro) applications.
You wish to know how to modify the XML
Ok now based upon the scenario there are two key points regarding XML files and efforts to change them.
Remember that XML in terms of the UWL follow the notion of precedence. Now that means that once you make a change to an XML file you need to re-upload it to realize changes. To re-upload an XML file and realized changes you need to do so with a "High" or "Very High" priority and also ensure that the UWL Cache has been cleared of the UWL Service restarted so changes can be realized.
The second key point is to ensure that you backup all current XML files before making any changes so you can easily revert those changes if required.
Now reverting back to your query, the XML files and the "You Can Also" section. Kindly see the documentation outlined below as here you are going to make changes to the I-View configuration:

Note in user decision step

Dear Experts,
I have requirement to add a note in user decision step to allow the user to enter comments while approving or rejecting workitem in UWL. I have enabled the note using XML file. I read that this comments will be captured in workflow container element attachobjects. My requirement is to send the comments entered by approver to initiator via mail. Please let me know how to capture the comments from UWL note to send mail step.

Hi Rick,
Thanks for your reply.
I have got the attachments in container element attachobjects. Can you please tell me how to get the text entered by the user from this step because currently I have SOFM instance in hand. I am not sure how to convert this to some form and extract the user comments alone. Are there any FM that can help to do this.

Workflows : Objects & Attachments @ User Decision Step ?

Hi pple,
As Ramki said,I was able to create a link in the OBJECTS and ATTACHMENTS part for a normal Activity step.
But now my requirement is to create a Link at Objects and Attachments part in USER DECISION Step. Can I do so?
I tried copying the DECISION BO to ZDECISION and copied the the standard Decision task TS00008267 to my task say..TS97900168 with my BO ZDECISION, Now when I tried to include this task in the WF User Decision step, I am getting an error that I cannot include any other object other than DECISION BO.
I thought of creating a ZDECISION Business Object and change the Default method of this BO. But I am not able to include a Z Business Object in the USER DECISION Step itself.
Is there any way of instantiating the Objects and Attachments part with our own Attachment of the USER DECISION Step.
Please let us know.
Regards,
Raja Sekhar.

<i>But now my requirement is to create a Link at Objects and Attachments part in USER DECISION Step. Can I do so?
</i>
I am not sure I understand your requirement correctly. But an agent can attach objects or documents at a decision step by clicking on the Create button in the Decision step display.
<i>Is there any way of instantiating the Objects and Attachments part with our own Attachment of the USER DECISION Step.</i>
You can copy the standard decision task and define container elements for the BO references already available in the WF container. Bind them from WF to the step. These objects will then show up under Objects and attachments in the decision step.
You can use the 'Create object reference' wizard to create an object reference if it is not already available.
Cheers,
Ramki Maley.

User decision step agent issue

Hi All
In my WF I get a user profile back from a method that check a ZTABLE for the correct user to receive mail and a user decision work item .
The mail step is working correctly and sending mail to the user (as per the parameter returned from the method)
The problem is that user decision step does not sent a workitem to the correct user .
Any ideas on what the problem might be ?
In the email step I bind to &ADDRESSSTRINGS&.Not sure what the correct binding is for the user decision step?
Many thks
Gerhard

Click workflow log (use any of the log transactions, swi1, swi2_freq swi6 etc)
click list with technical details, shift+F9
find the step, click on it and tick the tab container.
But if you could just answer my previous question about how you are sending the mail, because if you directly use email address then it is of course impossible to use that as agent assignment for the user decision.
A user decision is ultimately sent to a user id
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Cancel and keep workitem in ready state in user decision step

Hi,
In a user decision step,there is a default option 'Cancel and keep the work item'.
Now clicking on this option, the workitem goes into "Inprogress state"
whereas i want to keep the workitem in "ready state" after i click on the option 'Cancel and keep the work item'.
I am trying to modify the Process method of Decision Object type to incorporate this funcationality by using FM "SAP_WAPI_PUT_BACK_WORKITEM.
but im getting the error that this FM cannot be used at runtime.
Place where im trying to call this FM:
After the FM'SWU_PROCESS_MANUEL_DECISION'
I am getting the value of RESULT.
If result is SPACE or sy-subrc is not 00 then i am calling this Fm which takes Wi_id of the userdecision as input.
Kindly help
Regards

Hi,
Let me ask you this. Why you need to have this in "Ready" state, Not in "IN PROCESS" state. Anyway, the witem is still there in the user's inbox, and if you have any deadline monitoring, then this is also taken care with "Cancel and keep xxxx". So, i think, functionally you'll still be better with the existing functionality.
And, with all this, if you are still trying to change, then i think it's NOT possible. If i understand correctly, you are trying to use the FM "SAP_WAPI_PUT_BACK_WORKITEM" within the PROCESS method. And, if you understood the functionality of how this works, you are trying to set the status of the SAME witem for which you are executing the PROCESS method.
THe way i understand the behind-the-scenes process, once you make a decision and save, this method is the one which in turn sets the witem status. And within that, you CANNOT capture the status as it is yet to be posted to the Witem tables.
Probably, after this decision step, use a different background task with the above FM to set the witem status to "Ready", BUT NOT IN THE SAME METHOD of PROCESS.
Also, it's not advisable to change this std. method.
Hope this helps you. Reply,if you need more info.

URL in user decision step

Dear Experts,
I am using ecc4.7 version system. I have a user decision step. I want to display an url in objects and attachments section of user decision step. Ofcourse I found many similar threads from SDN. But they are not helping me with the solution. Please tell me how to achieve the same.
KR,
Bharath
Edited by: bharath padmanabhan on Dec 21, 2009 9:08 PM

Hi Bharath,
Have you displayed the URL in Attachmnt & Object of UD step?. If not try this,
If we need to display something, say URL in Attachmnet & object of UD step, we need to have a BO (instantiated) and the default method of the BO (mentioned in Basic data of SWO1) will be executed, if we click the URL in Attachment & Object.
I am not sure, whether you have any ZBO or not, if not create a ZBO and create a key field, this key field needs to hold the URL link. Then create a method, inside the method, call the FM- "CALL_BROWSER" by passing the Exporting para of FM (URL) as object-key-<key field>. Also in the basic data tab of the SWO1, give this Zmethod name in default section tab.
Now copy the std task of UD step and create a task container as same type of ZBO and create a WKF container as same as ZBO and instantiate this ZBO. And do the binding in the UD step,
<WKF container of ZBO> -> <Task container of ZBO>
Make sure before this binding, the WKF container of ZBO needs to be instantiated with the corresponding URL as key field. Now execute the WKF, you will find the Link in Attachmnet & Object and after clicking the link, it will direct to you the corresponding place. Let me know for any issues.

Tcode in user decision step

Dear experts,
I have a user decision step. Before the approver can approve or reject the workitem i need to show a tocde screen to him. Say for example CN25. My workitem will be generated only after initiator makes changes in that tcode. I want approver who gets the workitem to see CN25 tcode screen and then only make decision. Is there any possibility to attach or bring a tcode screen in user decision step.

Dear Hemalatha,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
You can direct;y use the Object which is used to trigger the workflow. Then you can bind this object to get that tcode as
attachment in decision task.
This is exactly my requirement. In my BO i have a standard method "display" to display the Tcode. I want to know how should i do the binding from BO's method to user decision task so that i can display a link as attachment of user decision step, by clicking which user can see the display screen.
