Open Universal worklist directly through link in mail

Hi,
I have a requirement where the approver will receive a mail notification of the task assigned to him by a requester. The mail should contain a URL which should directly open the UWL page(containing task) without asking for login/password. If i directly pass the UWL page URL in the mail, it still asks for login/passwd. I need to bypass this step of manually entering login credentials.
Any pointers!!

not actually between to systems but "towards your Portal".
This can be different for all companies but most used is to use the user his/her Windows account to Single Sign On towards the SAP Portal. There is a Login Module shipped by SAP for this and its called the SPNEGO login module.

Universal Worklist showing cross-linked tasks

This is a really strange problem.
I have a Guided Procedure process that is being heavily utilized in our company. Occasionally, tasks in a user's work list will become 'cross-linked': the description will say one thing, but opening the task will open another similar task. And vise-versa.
For example, say I have processes assigned to a Manager:
- Task for Employee 'A' (example process id 6a1234)
- Task for Employee 'B' (example process id 6a4567)
When 'Task for Employee A' is opened, the task for Employee 'B' is started. And, when 'Task for Employee B' is opened, the task for Employee 'A' is started. Very strange!
I've checked the underlying process data via /nwa, and the process instances are defined correctly: all data assigned to the process is correct. But, where this really get's weird is when you look at the URL's processed when the task from the Universal Worklist is opened.
If you look at the process ID's embedded in the URL's, they're wrong! Using the information above, the URL for the task for Employee 'A' contains the process ID for the task for Employee 'B'. This explains why the wrong back-end document is opened, since the GP run-time is passing the wrong context.
The process id's defined in the actual GP tasks look correct, so this appears to be a presentation issue.
I have not had the employee try to open the task via the GP Workbench, as this roles not assigned to users in general.
Suggestions?
We're on NW 7.0 sp17.

Hi Ken,
Yep, cheers for that. Now, I did find some information from older messages for you, and it appears that sometimes, this works as designed based on how you have defined your roles for GP.
Do you have a group used as a default for the requestor role?
If you want only one user(the initiator) to be a requestor than you
should change the Requestor role to be of type "Initiator". If this is the case
all the users in the group are used as processors and all of them
would have a task in then in the UWL. This is normal behaviour of the GP.
Here is some additional documentation....

One more reason to put my iMAC at the curb. I can open and view Picasa photo links when I sign in via Google, but if I'm in Mail and click on the Picasa image link (my own or one someone else sends me) I can't view the images. They are all blank white squares. This started a few weeks ago. Why can't I view Picasa link images through Mail?

Firefox won't open url links from mail

I don't know if this question has been asked yet, but I am having problems opening links from mail. I am using Firefox 3.5.3 and Snow Leopard. Every time I click on a link in my mail firefox opens to the homepage. Firefox will only link to the proper webpage if it is already opened. Does anyone know if there is a way to link directly to the webpage when firefox is not opened?
Thanks

Same thing here. Although mine just doesn't do anything. Firefox is open, but no new tab is created at all. Clicking a link in Mail does seem to activate Firefox's menu, though.
I just switched to using Firefox a few days ago, because my Safari kept crashing. Since my work is entirely on the web, I had to switch to keep functioning (but that's another issue).

Url links in Mail & Word are not opening in Firefox. Safari loaded url's just fine. Working on Mac OSX 10.6.6

Suddenly today when I click on url links in Mail or Word the desktop switches to Firefox but not page opens. This changed on both my desktop (iMac) and laptop (Macbook Air). I've never had this happen before. I tried Safari and the url's loaded just fine. Help! - jim
Firefox 3.6.3 Mac OSX 10.6.6 Apple Intel duo core iMac and Air

My camera is a 1Ds mk II..
and for that one it says
All versions tested. All versions tested. Supported only through Lightroom 4.1.
however, it also says
Windows XP, Vista, 7; Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6
which is plain wrong, because Canon never supported any drivers for Windows Vista or Win 7, not to speak of XP 64bit. (You cannot connect the camera via firewire, without the device drivers!)

Cannot open GP process task in universal worklist.

Hi all,
    I cannot open GP process task in universal worklist.It says:"Could not retrieve process instance: contact your system administrator".But i can open the task in Runtime task.
i configure the universal worklist by following this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/ef06a7860c7061e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
I also create a simple GuidedProceduresConnector and doesn't change the xml file,but it doesn't work,either.
our portal is SP11.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you~!
Best regards
delma

Hello Delma,
Check out SAP note 1104652.    It discusses some changes for the uwl configuration file.   I just did this on a local installation of CE and used the following XML for my GP actions. I just uploaded a paper on this - it should be on SDN within a couple of days and I can get you the link.
The trick is that the name of your GP alias in UWL administration must be included in the XML. The note explains this and there is an example to download. Also, in my example the iView for the portal content to start the GP had to be changed - but that could be due to my local installation.
Check out this note and this XML and let me know if it helps.
Best regards
Ginger

"open links behind mail" feature doesn't work

Since migrating to Yosemite, I can no longer use "open links behind mail" feature.
The links do open directly to Safari or Chrome on top of mail.
But the "Open links behind mail" won't launch, regardless if the browser is open or not. I see it, it clicks, but nada... nothing ;-(
This feature always worked before migrating to Yosemite.
Any suggestions?

Force universal worklist refresh when iView is opened

Hi Experts,
users are complaining because when they open the universal worklist iview, it still shows old work items, and sometimes they click on them by mistake raising some error message.
Although I tried cleaning the cache, setting the cache validity to 1 minute we are not getting the expected results.
What I would like to achieve is that when a user opens the uwl iview it remains "blocked"(not allowing the user to click on any task) until it is completely refreshed and al the work items are valid.
any suggestions?
We are using EP7.0 SP17.
Best regards,
Marco Ustarroz.

Hi Rakesh.
Go to System Administration --> System Configuration --> Universal Worklist & Workflow --> Universal Worklist - Administration
1) Select you System Alias and click in Re-Register.
2) Click in link Cache Administration Page, Select your system and click in Clear Cache.
Good Luck
Eduardo

Mail won't "open link behind mail" in Mavericks

Is anyone else having this problem? I get weekly digests from a number of groups as well as google alerts. My usual workflow is to read through the digest right-clicking on any links that I am interested in and selecting "open link behind mail". When I do this in Mavericks... nothing happens! Safari opens but it does not load the page. so that means that now I am stuck swiping backwards and forwards between Safari and mail - opening a link, then back to mail to open the next one.

I have the same problem with mail that I receive from LinkedIn groups that I follow. I found that if you press and hold the Command and Option keys when you click a link it will open behind mail, in Safari.

I broke my laptop last week and until I can afford a new one, I'd like to use my ipad for university. Just wondering whether there is a way I can view online lectures? I have an app called my media but its only good for direct download links

Only good for direct download links. I can pick to view my lecture in either audio or video format through WMP or QT from my school website. The formats come in a drop box form, which when on a desktop or laptop open in the player you choose and play. I hope this makes sense

You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

Launch URL/BSP from attachments link in workitem in Universal Worklist

Background info:
We have a custom business object. Default method on object in SWO1 is a custom display method. This display method returns a URL to a BSP.
When I open my workitem in SBWP and click the attachments link, it properly launches the URL which opens the BSP.
However, when I open same workitem in Universal worklist and click the attachments link, it does not properly open the BSP. It looks like it's trying to open a SAP GUI version of the object but nothing is displayed. When our developer puts a breakpoint in the ABAP code and we click the workitem link in UWL, the URL/BSP opens fine. So, UWL config must be doing something extra (added code? redirect?) that clobbers the URL/BSP launch. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks,
Matt
*Reminder, We are not trying to launch the BSP when you click the workitem link in the UWL list. This is the attachments link inside the workitem itself.

G'Day Matthew,
The reason this works from SBWP and not from UWL is because you have an ABAP session in between. You don't mention the type of attachment, but usually what gets executed is the default method of the object. Thus the UWL has to initiate an ITS/WebGUI session to execute the default object method - this method may contain code to launch a BSP but it still needs to get to the code to start with.
You need to find alternatives, see if Karri's suggestion does what you're after.
Cheers,
Mike

Link to Object (Lead) from workitem in Universal worklist

Hello. We have a workflow that sends workitems (dialog tasks) to a users inbox in SAP portal. If I open the workitem from Universal worklist and then click the link inside the workitem to take me to the object (CRM Lead or Business Activity), I get "page not found". However, if I click this same link after opening the workitem in business workplace (SBWP), I'm taken to the object fine as I expect. Anyone know why the object link from UWL does not work? Or where it's configured?
Note, if I click an object link in UWL for an item that was generated from ECC (say for Document, Material Master, etc), I'm taken to the object just fine. Our issue seems narrowed to the combination of CRM and Universal worklist.
Thanks.

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Re: Recently upgraded to Maverick from SnowLeopard. Unable to get updates from App store.

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

Links from Mail and other apps don't go to open copy of Firefox but attempt to open a second copy, so I get "A copy of Firefox is already open," FF 22, OS10.8.4

Links from within Firefox windows open new tab, but links within Mail, MSWord, and other apps attempt to open another copy of Firefox, and I get the "Close Firefox: A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." This just started happening less than a week ago. I don't know when FF updated to version 22.0.

My problem seems to be fixed--I cannot reproduce it now, though it had been consistently happening for the past 3-4 days. The suggestions above do not seem to apply in any case: I do not want to open another instance of Firefox but simply to connect with the one that is already running; and I do not seem to have a .parentlock file.
If the problem returns, I'll be back. Meanwhile, thanks for the suggestions.
