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.
Br,
Bharath

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.

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.

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 ?

SOFM in user decision step - provide reason in UWL

Hello Everyone,
I'm working with a customer who wants to use a user decision step and add a reason for the rejection only. This step will be executed in UWL - since UWL doesn't support syncrhonous dialog chains, it can't be implemented by adding another step with SOFM. I have seen the 'template with attachment' in the user decision step, and have tried binding SOFM to the Reference in the container, but the user doesn't have the option.
Perhaps this could be implemented with a secondard amodal method - which checks the user decision code and only implements if the decision was rejected. I'd like to be able to put a condition on the secondary methods.
If you've done something like this, please let me know!
Regards
Ginger

Hi Ginger,
Unfortunately it is not only synchronous dialog chains, but also secondary methods that are not supported in the UWL, so you're stuck both ways.
Though, I have been told that the latest SP does support some kind of advance with dialog functionality (SP15 I think?).
At one customer we used a custom ABAP-based decision step which executed in a wingui session - thus synchronous dialog chains worked as long as every subsequent step was wingui based (which SOFM.CREATE obviously is) - worked quite well.
Let me know if you need more info.
Cheers,
Mike

Need 2 Multiline elements for user decision step

We are on SAP R/3 Enterprise version.
I have this requirement to find agents based on the agent type and work center field. So I created a responsibility rule for each type of agent type. The responsibility rule is keyed on the work center, and HR positions are mapped to each responsibility rules work center field.
We have 50 agent types/responsibility rules, 60 work centers, and 1 or more positions for each agent type and work center combinations. Due to the total number of positions, I prefer to use 1 responsibility rule per agent type for ease of maintenance.
I have a FM that reads the responsibility rule based on the agent type and work center field and retrieve the agent_list. I used this FM/method/step prior to my user decision step and pass the agent_list to the UD step via container.
In my user decision step, the Other tab does not have Multiline element for me to enter my agent_list. So I cannot use &agent_list[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]& in my user decision agent assignment expression field.
In my last job, we have SAP ECC 5.0, the UD step has a Misc tab that has Multiline element, but our current SAP R/3 Enterprise version does not have Misc tab, it only has Other tab.
Question:
1. How do I use [&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&] without Multiline element for agent_list in UD step?
2. I have to use the same way to retrieve my LED_agent_list as well, so I need 2 Multiline elements in my UD step. But normally in Other tab, it allows you to define only 1 Multiline element. How do I get around this restriction?
3. My last resort is to use 1 responsibility rule, then I can use the rule in the agent assignment. If that is the case, is there any limit on the number of entries in the rule?
Thanks.

User Decision step in BPM

Hi,
I have requirement.PI is reading data from source and after transformation sending one mail to approver .If Approver approves it then messgae will be sent to target system.For approval and rejection ,I am using user decision step in BPM.
My question is if approver approves reqest in 15 days ,then what will happen in SXMB_MONI,Will the message got failed?

PI should not be used for such scenarios.
The User Decision step in BPM is merely thought for PI admins, if a message should retried or skipped. Not for end-users.

how i 'll raise the raise the exception do i need to create and task or any other step.
also can you please explain below point in detail.

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

User decision step execution from UWL

Hi,
     I copied the standard user decision step and added my own text in that task. My requirement is i have to execute that step from UWL . i need to configure this task in SWFVISU, so that it will appear in UWL. My question is what are the parameters i need to maintain in swfvisu TXn . because this is not a webdynpro application or Bsp Application.

Please check this SAP help [document|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/44/b7047434d91578e10000000a114a6b/content.htm]

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.

modak

User Decision step in UWL

Hi,
I have a 3 user decision steps in my Customised workflow which uses the task TS00008267. Each task has different decison text and outcome. When this is executed through UWl the outcome does not appear as they are in SBWP.
Does this need and Portal Configuration?
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
There are two thing you need to do.
First, you need to configure the SWFVISU.
Run Tcode SWFVISU.
here, select "Task Visualization' and maintain your standard task ( TS ) with ABAP web dynpro option.
Now selct your entry and click on Visualization Parameters as mentopn below.
APPLICATION ( WD application name )
DYNPARAM
NAMESPACE
SYSTEM_ALIAS
Second, ask Portal team to chagne the XML code for the above standard task and application ( i.e. WD appilcation which will be launced on clicking the task ).
From the next run of the workflow, WD applcitoon will be lauched from the protal.
for the old workitem this will not work.
Note : If u do not configure SWFVISU then WD application will not lauch but user will get SAP gui screen for processing it.
xlm code must be changed corresponding task for both case.
Thanks and ragards,

How To Send Invoice List as attachment in User Decision Step?

HI All,
I have developed a workflow in which there is one ZMETHOD in which i will get the list of invoices.and that i want to send it as attachment to User Decision Step.
How to do this?
Regards,
Arpita

If your users will have access to MIR4, why not just bind the business object BUS2081 as an adhoc object into your decision step? That would solve everything pretty nicely, I think.

Sue
