Remove UWL - Task - "Create Task" button

To all,
Please provide instructions or how-to document links for removing the "Create Task" button that appears above the "Task" View in UWL. I have found ample documentation on modifying the navigation nodes and views but nothing on this object.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Lee McMullan

Lee,
Hope this helps you.

Collaboration Room Task - Remove New Task button

Hi,
We have My Task iView on all our home pages which are available to internal and external users. We do not want to give "New Task" button for external users. Is there any way to hide New Task button based on Users or Roles, or remove New Task button from the My Task iView. Please let me know if you know any other solution.
Thanks

Hello,
there is an update in the configuration documentation coming up shortly (In oct.) - it wil be available online on the Help portal.
But as of now, please follow the process as listed here:
also please let me know in case this is not working for you.
Removing Actions From the UWL Display
There are a couple of ways to remove actions.
· You can customize the Views and ItemType (which can remove the actions from all UWL pages, Collaboration, My Task, and so on)
· You can modify the iView and add the name of the actions under the Action to exclude from the UWL property.
See the list below for some of the common action names.
Note: For other actions not listed here, see the custom properties XML files.
in the list below you will see the "Display Text" for the action followed by the "Action Name"
Alerts Configuration

Claim --- reserve
Complete---- acknowledge
Complete Task --- confirm

- this action is for multiple user selection.
Note:
If excluding more than one actions, the action names must be comma separated.
Note:
Do not add ALL of the above listed action names to Actions to Exclude iView property. Be selective in what actions you want to remove. To determine the action name you want to remove, you can turn on the support information page (see below) and a list of support action will be displayed per item displayed.
Example
Suppose you do not want the Personalize View function on the UWL view. You can remove it by adding personalize to the iView property List of UWL Actions to Exclude.
Turning on the Support Information Section
From the UWL iView configuration, select Yes for the parameter Display UWL Support Information.

Configuring UWL tasks that are created by a GP process

Hello,
We need help with configuring UWL tasks that are created by a GP process.
In the portal (NW04s SP7), we went to System Admin > System Config > Universal Worklist Administration and then added a System called "GuidedProcedures" with the connector type "GuidedProceduresConnector". But when we goto "Click to Administrate Item Types and View Definitions", the only gp system that we see is "uwl.gp.config". So we have a few questions about this:
1) Should we be editing this XML file (uwl.gp.config)? We were thinking that we should get another config file named uwl.GuidedProceduresConnector.<systemalias>.
2) Does each GP process have a unique ID? If yes, then how do we find that ID?
Any help on this would be much appreciated
Thanks,
Harman

Hi Harman,
There is no button to start a process directly from the UWL for ths simple reason that it is impossible to see a process template in the UWL (but in the GP Design Time).
In the UWL, you can only display an overview of the Work Item. If you want display the form, I guess you use a Callable Object. There is unfortunetaly no possibility to do the thing differently. But, you could in the approval callable object display the input form (or a copie of it) as well as more information. For that, you could have a look at the time-off process delivered with the standard installation.
Hope this helps you.

David

Creating UWL task without any action

Dear All
First of all Execuse me for the posting the uncorrect scenerio in last thread.
This is regarding the issue I am facing, the employee is going to view the Request form, but if he will not do any action ( will not click any button ) the UWL task is going to create in his (OWN) UWL.

Hi,
If the first view is the first callable object in your GP process then a task will get created whenever the user opens the view (i.e. a new process instance gets started). To overcome this issue I can think of three options :
1) you can have a cancel button in the view. On Action of the cancel button you can set a resultstate based on which you can call a Terminate process callable object and terminate the process instance.
2) on wdDoExit() method you can check if any button has been clicked (set a flag on valid user actions). If no user action has been done set the resultstate and cancel the process as above.
3) Don't add the first view as a callable object in GP. Instead make it a stand-alone Web Dynpro project and on button click(Submit) of that view start the GP process by passing the relevant parameters.
Thanks,
Dipankar

Creating UWL tasks in 2004 Portal

Hi all,
we have a 2004 SP 19 Portal and would like to build a scenario in UWL. Because of this i need a programming way for creating an UWL Task. Is this possible for a 2004 Portal. I only raed that an UWL API ist only available for 2004s.
Thanks a lot
Markus

What ideas are you looking for?
You can create a widget in any number of ways to display this information. The simplest to get started would be to create a widget based on the "Table Widget Template".
Did you need ideas on how to get the data?
If you wanted to get fancy, you might want to create a flex application to show the data and embed it into a widget. The flex app could then be reused elsewhere.

Hi,
Please check the work item in the backend system and see if if &_WI_OBJECT_ID& is empty. This could happen if you are not passing the object instance to the work item via binding or the object instance in the workflow container is not filled at all. If the workflow container does not have the object instance then you need to check the binding between your event container and the workflow container. If the workflow is triggered via code then check why the object instance is snot filled.

Creating the hidden iview for refreshing UWL Task

hi
i would like to create the hidden iview to refresh the UWL task automatically.
The event to refresh the task : refreshUwlBackend which is the same when manual refresh link is being called .
Pls suggest how to acomplish this.
Regards
Pravesh

Hi Pravesh,
You can try with KM scheduler as well.
1. You need to set the scheduler from System admin -> KM -> Content Mang ->Global Services-> Scheduler task.
    You can set here the time interval for scheduler.
2. Then create a Portal project from NWDS.
    Portal Simple project.Right click on project.New-Other-Rep framework-Scheduler task wizard.
    Create a java page where you will write the code mentioned by Raju
    portalFireEvent( 'urn:com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.ui','refreshUwlBackend');
I don know whole details.but this is the process you can follow.
Hope it helps you.

PLEASE HELP ME.
Tanks
Shaik Rafi

Hi All,
In such cases, please try to check as below :
1) Create Leave request work item from Employee and check the same under the UWL Tracking tab of employee.
2) Log-in to swi5 transaction of the respective back end system and give "US" -> manager's UserID -> Choose Tasks to be completed from the drop down -> Remove any date if mentioned -> Execute.
3) Here if you can see the Leave request created, but not on the portal, it reflects some portal issue like sync.
4) If no leave request work item is seen here, then there is a problem in the employee manager mapping or the workflow setup.
5) In such cases, you can try to check the Swi1 and check the log of that workflow to understand the current status of the Leave request.
Revert if further help is needed with more info.
Reward points if found useful.

UWL Task Attachments

We have a requirement to launch custom webdynpro java app when the user selects the atttachment for the UWL task. We can modify the UWL XML file to lauch custom app for a task but for attachments I am not sure. Is there a way to configure the attachments for the UWL task to launch custom webdynpro java application? We are on NW 7.01 SP6.
Thanks for the help in advance

Hi Anu,
I am not sure that we can configure the attachments or not for your requirement.
As attachments link comes from Wrok Flow side.
But i can suggest you one work around -- you remove the default attachments button from UWL iview
and in UWL XML do the changes to add link which each will appear for each task . On this link you can
open your custom apps very easily and for justification you can say that for checking the attachments
no need to open the task details.

Piyush

Problem in closing UWL Task in BPM

Hi,
In WDJ UI, I have save and submit button.
On click of save button, the uwl task has to be created, the user may click submit button in same time or the user may not click the submit button.
When the user click the submit button after clicking save button, the task has to be completed and no open task should be visible in UWL, but in my case the uwl task is not completed. It's still in UWL.
When I open the task from UWL and click submit button, it's working fine.
Let me know, how to fix this problem.
Regards,
Sriram

Sorry for late reply. When I open the task from UWL and click submit the task get closed successfully.
But In my scenario, I have User A, in that there is save and submit button.
On click of save button, the task get generated, the user A may open the task from UWL or the user A may click submit button.
When the user A click submit button without opening the task from UWL, the already created task in UWL must get closed and it has to move to another user. ie User B
If you guys have any suggestion, please help me.

Use of SHOW MY TASKS button

Hi,
We are on SRM 7. ECS.
I'm confused regarding the use of SHOW MY TASKS which appears in the shopping cart screen.
If I create a shopping cart which needs aapproval by my manager sya USER B,then how can user use the SHOW MY TASKS button to directly approve my cart until and unless he sees the cart in his POWL?
Are there any settings for POWL so that users can see the carts which are peniding for their approval even though they are created by some other user?
Pls advise.

how can user use the SHOW MY TASKS button to directly approve my cart until and unless he sees the cart in his POWL?
SHOW MY TASKS button is not used to directly approve the cart. The approver will not find the cart through POWL, but through his/her UWL (Universal Worklist), which is usually under the tab "Home" >> "Overview" >> "Universal Worklist". The approver can see all the workitems in UWL and click into each document to view and approve from there.
Are there any settings for POWL so that users can see the carts which are peniding for their approval even though they are created by some other user?
There is no setting in configuration so that users can see others' shopping cart through POWL. The POWL showing only the user's own shopping carts (or as requester in the case of "shop on behalf") is the standard feature of SRM.

Transporting UWL Tasks between portals

Hello Gurus,
do you have any experiences with transporting AdHoc UWL Tasks between 2 portals?
Do you have any idea?
Copy of DB tables?
Use of UWL API?
Thanx
Regards
Ondrej

Hi,
I can help you with this ..these are the steps you need to follow:--
Process of Transport as EPA(Enterprise Portal Archieve)
EXPORT:--
Login to the the portal.
Navigate to System Administration.
Navigate to Transport-->Export.
Create a Folder inside the Portal Content say "TransDemo".
Right on the Folder and Select new Tranport Package and fill in the following properties.
Transport package name (required).
Transport package ID (required).
Transport package ID prefix (optional).
Master language (required).
Description (optional).
Select Objects for Export
Open the object (Transport Package) for editing.
Add all required iView, Page, Role, Workset in the object using right click.(Can directly add a folder also).
Click on to Export button.
After clicking Export Button file name is automatically generated (Unique name).
Export Selected Objects to .epa file.
Download Export File- It displayed how many files it exported.
Click on to "Download Export File" link for download.
Save .epa file in your hard drive.
IMPORT--
Login to the the portal.
Navigate to System Administration.
Navigate to Transport-->Import.
Select .epa file on Destination Server.
Import Editor Select "Client" as source for packages file
Select .epa file (Which is the back up file) Click on "Upload" button
Start Import and Check Status after uploading click on to "Import" button.
Display all imported objectAll iviews and roles are restored .
Just follow the above steps and ask if you have any doubts as i have used this method to transport many roles from one portal server to other.
Also one more thing can be done i.e:-->
If you want to create the same table, then just deploy the same dictionary project in the QA portal.
If you want to transport the datas of the table from current portal to QA, then use SQL to do Export/Import of datas at the database level.
So do some googling on export import db table for your DB and you will find lots of hints.
Please reward with points if you findit helpful.

Pooja
