POWL Queries

Hi,
We had defined POWL Queries by role wise in EHP4. These queries have been refreshed with EHP5 upgrade. In EHP5, there is no role based approach towards POWL queries. Can some one help me out in understanding on how we can restrict queries in EHP5 role wise?
Regards
Savitha

Hi Savithat,
You just assign the queries/applications you want to be called with that role in POWL_QUERYR (column 'role') with your custom role you created.

Execution of POWL Queries through ECC EHP5

Hello,
I am an SAP BW Consultant, new to the Power list concept. I would like to have information on the following stuff related to POWL queries:
1) In POWL_QUERY transaction, i got the list of all the available POWL Queries as per EHP5. Please let me know if there is any possibility of executing these queries directly from ECC, without being re-directed to Portal or NWDS? This is because we don't have Portal or NWDS in our current landscape.
2) I have seen that POWL queries are generally the InfoSet queries. This gives me an option of leveraging POWL queries by executing directly as InfoSet queries from SQ01. But I found some POWL queries like "/KYK/OP_FI_VENDOR_ITEMS_ALL" which are not available in SQ01. How can I execute these queries from ECC? What needs to be done to make them available as normal InfoSet queries in SQ01? I have seen an option of registering InfoSet query as a POWL query, but here i want something just opposite.
Would appreciate immediate response.
Thanks.

Prateek

1. POWL queries are WDA applications. Therefore they can be ran by adding them to the user's role or even directly in the Web Browser if they know the URL. There is absolutely no connection to the NetWeaver Developer Studio at all and they can't be edited there anyway since they are ABAP based. Now POWLs can often contain Portal API based navigation, however. This is why we do make the general recommendation that you should run POWLs within the NetWeaver Business Client or the NetWeaver Portal. Otherwise the navigation from the POWL to the detailed transaction might not work.
2. These are probably feeder class based POWLs. There would be no options to convert these back into InfoSet Queries. I believe you are confusing two subjects here. The purpose of POWL isn't to enable InfoSet queries. Infoset Queries are just one of several possible sources of creating POWLs.

Refreshing POWL Queries in e-Recruiting

Hi All,
I need some help regarding POWL Queries.
If I switch from one link - My Open Requisitions to other link My New Applications, then REFRESH is not happening.
Could you please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Anil

You can schedule the refresh by running a background job, please have a look at the following link for more information:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/42/d6652b755c1630e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
The following text is qouted from the above SAP documentation link:
POWL_WLOAD (Refresh Active POWL Queries)
You can use this report to update queries. If you schedule the report as a background job, for example, you can update the queries overnight. Users then have access to the updated data when they start work, without having to refresh the data themselves. This is a way of controlling the server load.

Authority check POWL queries

Hi all,
is possible to hide some queries in POWL depending on the user's roles ?
For example; in tab SRM Administration I want that all users can use the queries; "Suppliers", "Bidders" and "Contact Persons" ... , but i want that only some users can use the queries; "Locations" and "Employees"...
is it possible?
thanks in advance.

Hi RM,
Yes it is possible....you can restrict the POWL query based on roles or users..
Please check the below mentioned SPRO Path
SAP Implementation Guide-->SAP Web Application Server-->Cross-Application Components-->General Application Functions--> Generic SAP Business Suite Functions-->Personal Object Worklist-->Define Query Visibility at Role Level----->Execute
or transaction POWL_QUERYR .
Here you can define the quesirs for roles.
Thanks,

Hi,
We are upgrading to SRM7.0. It is Classic scenario and confirmations are not done in SRM. In POWL , can we remove the queries for SRM POs and Confirmations? Users only want to see queries from category Shopping Cart. Can we delete the queries that are not required for all users.
Thanks

How to add & fill custom fields in POWL Query

Hi all,
I have a requirement where I need to create a new POWL Query and should show the Defect data of each Issue ID. I looked for tutorials and threads about POWL queries but can't seem to find the information I needed.
In details, I need a new query which should be available in NWBC -> Quality Issue Management -> Worklists. We already have one which is an overview of all Issues, but I need to create a new worklist which displays the Defect data of each Issue. (Please note, I am new to QIM and this is my first time handling QIM requirement.)
May I ask if you can guide me or if you know some links where there are steps how can I extract the Defect data? I also looked at OSS Note 1865206, is the steps for "Additional result fields" all I need?
Thanks,
Leo

Hi James,
The above was cancelled, but now I need to look why the query is not automatically refreshing the data when I changed the worklist parameters. It doesn't also refreshes the data when I click "Refresh list" button below the table in NWBC QIM worklist view:
But when I close the tab and reopen it, it now displays the updated list.
I tried the refresh configs I found here, but still doesn't work.
Thanks,
Eo

Auto refresh powl list every night and from an action in another WDA comp

Hi,
Two questions.
1) I want to update the powl list every night as a background job.
2) I want to update powl list when user performs an action in another WD Component.
Any suggestion, idea will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
There is only one way to do that.
Create a report and call refresh query method of POWL API class.
Directly you won't be able to refresh the query.
So what you have to do is you have to call the method Get Query. This method will give all the queries for the User.
All the query GUIDs you have to pass to refresh queries. In the refresh Query method there is an indicator for refresh query. You have to set that indicator to refresh.
Remember POWL queries are user specific. So you have to run it for the particular user.
If you want to get all the Queries then You have to modify the method Get Queries.
Hope it will help you.

MSS Requisitions is not moving to Recruiter's POWL and system is throwing the errors.

Hi everyone,
Hope all are doing in good spirit.
I have an issue in regards with Requisition Creation and its related process.
I am working in Standalone architecture where Recruiting server is in another instance apart from HR system.
We are using WS45600028 standard workflow.
When Manager submits the Requisition to higher level manager to approve, its done successfully and the notification is going to the Manager. But after approval, Requisition is not going to Requiter's POWL queries.
I have maintained Support Group, Lead Recruiter in it and assigned this to Requisition.
I have checked HRP5131 table. But there is no SOBID which sould be flaged as Lead Recruiter.
When Higher level Manager approves the Requisition, It is successful bu there is an error in slg1.
Error: Error when ending the Work item 0000007704 in HR system.
The system returned the call of interface SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER in this context
System Response:
Call ended with an error. The function was not executed.
Procedure: Remove call.
At the same system is throwing the error for the User (This user is used for RFC creation using with transaction SM59): No candidate for this User.
Details of error: The error occurred in program CL_HRRCF_CANDIDATE_ADMIN_BL===CM00B line 77
Procedure for system administration:
Check the context in which the error occurs.
Since it it probably program error and not an input error, you should contact SAP.
Can you please look into the above issue and address me if you have any solution for the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Sekhar

Hi Nicloe,
Thank you very much for your response.
I have done the data transfer from HR system to E-Rec system through ALE iDoc using PFAL.
All the is transferred and corresponding NA, CP, BP generated in E-Rec for P.
All the users(Recruiter, Managers and Recruiting Admin) data have transferred to E-Rec System.
But when Manager is creating the Requisition Request, it going to his higher level manager for approval and its been approved successfully. Later it is not updating the Recruiter's POWL.
In DB table HRP5125 Requisition data is created but with only few details like Start and End date, Object ID. in E-Rec system.
In HRP5131, NB related data is there but there is no SOBID for lead Recruiter.
Immediately i am getting errors in both HR and E-Rec systems as follows after the Requisition got approved.
In HR system, Error when ending the Work item 0000007704. Workflow completed successfully but still here is an error.
In E-Rec systemThe error occurred in program CL_HRRCF_CANDIDATE_ADMIN_BL===CM00B line 77.
And system says, Since it it probably program error and not an input error, you should contact SAP.
I heard that there might be an inconsistency in NA, BP, CP when we do PFAL transaction for data transfers. Can you suggest me to raise SAP ticket in this context?
Or Did i miss any configuration in this connection?
What can be done now to fix this? I am working EHP 5 and SP level is 11.
Can you please let me know. Kindly help me out of it as i am struck with this since very long time.
Thank you.

Sekhar

POWL configuration not activating

Hello Experts,
In SRM 7.0 configuration Define Query Visibility at Role Level, I have unchecked the active field for all queries with a POR category. I assumed this would remove this query from the users portal screen. It is still appearing.
I have also through configuration Define Default Query checked the 'Hidden" box for some query selection criteria settings. I assumed this would hide the criteria from users in the selection screen.
Is this the correct way to format POWL queries so that they apply to all users? If so, what am I doing wrong that it isn't taking effect?

[POWL] Actions ID on Button at level row

Hi,
My question is quite simple. I want to add buttons on rows. In fact, I find out how to do it, it works. But, I have no idear how to set a specific action ID to those buttons.
When the buttons are on the toolbar it is easy, but how to do, when the buttons are on row level ?
The HANDLE_ACTION is well called, but the ACTIONID is empty, then, it is not possible for my to identify if my use clicked on SHOW button or MODIFY button.
If you have any clue, I will appreciate
Regards

Hi,
It is based on FITV POWL Queries. I have enhanced the standard structure to add my buttons. Then in the field catalog method, I define it as a button :
Class : CL_FITV_POWL_FEEDER_TRIPS
Method : IF_POWL_FEEDER~GET_FIELD_CATALOG
when 'ZBT_MODIFY'.
 <fs_cat>-col_visible = c_true.
 <fs_cat>-display_type = 'BT'.
* <fs_cat>-h_align = 'C'.
 <fs_cat>-enabled = abap_true.
 <fs_cat>-text = 'Reprendre'.
 <fs_cat>-allow_sort = abap_false.
 <fs_cat>-ICON_SRC = 'ICON_MODIFY'.
 <fs_cat>-icon_first = abap_true.
 <fs_cat>-width = 5c.

Default query for POWL

Hello POWL experts!
I have created a couple of predefined POWL queries in transaction POWL_QUERY,
but I cannot find the way to set the default query which is executed automatically at my POWL application startup.
Does anyone know, how could I set it?
( Currently, the first query in the alphabetical order is executed by default. )
Another question:
When the application is started, the Quick Criteria Maintenance on POWL should be shown by default.
Is it possible to set it somehow?
BR,
Laszlo

Hi John,
1.     Start transaction SE80 and create WD Application for your POWL WD Component, if you have not yet created
     (right click on WD Component -> Create -> Web Dynpro Application)
2.      Right click on newly created WD Application -> Create/Change configuration
3.     Web Dynpro Configuration Editor will start up
     (please note that we could have diferrent versions of WD configuration editor, so its layout could be different)
4.     Choose a name for your configuration.
     Fill in the 'Configuration ID' field with e.g. {WD Application name}_APP_CONF and click on 'Create'
     Now you have an Application configuration for your WD Application
5.     Create Component configuration within Application Configuration.
     At this point I see a table in my configuration editor which contains the sub-components of the POWL component.
     Select CMP_POWL sub-component row. 'Configuration' field needs to be filled in here. e.g. {WD Application name}_COMP_CONF
     Click on 'Go to component configuration'.
6.     Click on 'Create'.
7.     Select the node 'confData' on 'Explicit Configuration' tab
8.        You have the following configuration possibilities:
     Application
     Query ID
     Layout
     defaultVisibleColCount
     defaultVisibleRowCount
     ... etc.
     Fill in 'Query ID' field with the desired default query Id.
9.     Optional: you can create 'typeSpecific' nodes for POWL type specific configurations
     Right click on 'confData' node -> Create -> typeSpecific
10.     Save your configuration
11.     When you get back to the SE80 and click the refresh button above the object tree, your configurations will appear
12.     You can test the configuration by right click and 'Test'

LL

POWL Capabilities

Hi people,
Well, we are using POWL to create the listing the Sales Orders to be assigned to me. Well, I can see all the required Sales Orders list after executing the selection criteria using the custom POWL Query. But now, we have a add two buttons which makes this POWL Query bit interactive, I mean beside the Print Version and Export options, I want to add two custom buttons, which will call other custom WDA Applications. I would like to know how I can handle this interactive capability of POWL.
Appreciate if any one could respond ASAP.

Hi,
I think you should start with creating the FEEDER CLASS.
Then, Attach this Feeder Class to POWL Type.
Attach this POWL Type to POWL Query and do the remaining customizing like attaching it to Category type and displaying as per the role.
Well, I think you can check the config part in SPRO - Cross Application Components - General Application Functions - Generic mySAP Suite Functions - POWL.
Well, when it comes to calling a transaction from POWL queries, I can certainly help you out, if you could raise a new thread.

About the default quries of POWL

Hi,
I met a problem with the POWL queries.
I created several queries (by T-code: POWL_QUERY) in system1, and then all my codes transferred to System2 for testing. But I find that all the queries are not transported. Anyone knows how to solve this problem (I'm sure there is no problem with the tranportation)? Or do you know how to define default queries within POWL feeder classes? Thanks

Hi,
There might be due to one of the following scenario:
1. Transport error
2. The entries need to be cretaed in appropriate clients(some entries in development and some in customizing client). Have you created the entries in appropriate client?
Best regards,
Suresh

Authorization Object for Cost center

Hi Experts;
We are using SRM 7, classic scenario.
We are copying SRM tcode: BBP_BW_SC4 to a Z report and modify it. The users will be given the access to display the status of thier SC.
How can I restrict the user from displaying the SC of other department's? Is there an authorization object for cost center in SRM? is there any other away to restrict the users from displaying SC related to other depts.
Appreciate your help

by the way, why are you not using the standard SAP powl queries? they anyways restrict you from viewing others SCs except your team
any ways, if you are copying that report this BBP_BW_SC4, then change this
PARAMETERS pa_coce TYPE kostl OBLIGATORY DEFAULT lv_costcenter.
to
PARAMETERS pa_coce TYPE kostl OBLIGATORY DEFAULT lv_costcenter no-display.

ERecruiting: Assignment to Talent Groups

Hi All,
Is it possible to search by a candidate name and assign this candidate to a talent group?
Thanks.

Hi PoojaM,
In most of the standard POWL queries such as: New Registered Candidates, My New Applications, New Team Applications, there is a button "ASSIGN" to assign a candidate to either a requisition or a talent group. You can filter the query results by candidate's name to search for a specific candidate and then assign him to a talent group.
In addition, the same functionality exists in the Requisition Assignments Screen where you can see all the candidates assigned to a requistion, filter them by name, and assign to a talent group.
A third place is the Candidate Search where you can search by candidate name and then assign him to a talent group.
A fourth place is the Candidate Profile Screen, under Profile Summary there is a section for talent groups where you can assign the candidate to a talent group.
I hope this will help...
