Sending Workitem as express

Hi Experts,
I want to send a work item to a user. But similar to setting express option in send mail step, i want to intimate the user with a pop up indicating him that he has received a worktem. I searched this forum and found a reply.
Open the template in PFTC and click change. Open the builder and double click on the node Release of purchase order(000093). Select the 'Other' tab and change the step priority to 1 (Highest). Save and activate the template and refresh the workflow runtime buffer using transaction SWU_OBUF. Then start a new instance as the process is NOT retrospective.
I have clicked decision step and inside it there is no others tab. Can you tell me where can i find that tab and how should i set the priority.

Dear Kar,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I was able to find it in miscellaneous tab. You have asked me to set activity step as dialog. But i am using only user decision step.
Also i am getting a express work item pop up when i did set the priority as 1. But i am not getting a execute icon in that popup. In normal send mail step i am getting express popup with a execute icon by clicking which i am directed straight to that mail.
But for workitem express pop up i am not getting that icon. I am only getting inbox button by clicking which i am directed to inbox and from there i have to select the work item. Is there any other setting that i should do to directly go to workitem from express popup.

How to send workitem to dynamic agents

Hi all,
This is my problem, I have to send workitem to dynamic agents (number of agents vary).
I have the approver details in the workflow container, now i have to send the workitem to the apporvers, since the number of approver varies i am using while loop and i am doing container opreration for each loop. I have the apporvers details in a multiline container based upon this i have to send workitem to the first approver and after his decision i have send workitem to second approver and it goes on.
Regards
Balaji E.

Hi all,
After struggling for 2 day i found the solution for my problem.
My Problem:
I get the approver details from a function module and i call this function module in a method and through a task i pass the multiline container element (which is holding approvers details) to my workflow container. My problem is i dont know how to loop this multiline container element in my loop (while).
Solution:
There is a macro to copy one container element to another container element it may a multiline container too.
SWC_COPY_ELEMENT <SourceContainer> <SourceElement> <TargetContainer> <TargetElement>.
i used this macro while i run the method at first time and i copy this value to another container (multiline) element at this step itself.
In my next step i pass only the loop number (i have a workflow container element. and i increment this container element for each loop) to the method and in that method i read the multiline container element based on this loop number and i pass the result value to task-->workflow.
From here i proceed further.
Thanks all of you.
SDN Forum helped me a lot in this issue.

Error in sending workitem to outlook if Email id is not maintained in SU01

HI Guys,
                 Right now i am working with PCR workflows. Here the approval will go both to the SAP inbox and the Outlook Inbox. For sending workitem to outlook i had scheduled a background job RSWUWFML2.
          My problem is if the Email id is not maintained for the approving manager in SU01 Tcode, only userid is maintained, the workitem is being sent to SAP inbox and the workflow is getting errored because there is no Email Id for him.
                     How to resolve this issue i.e.workflow should also work fine if Email id is not configured.
Regards
Kumar

Sorry I read it otherwise....For the email to go to Outlook 2 approaches.
1) Maintain email in IT0105 for the manager
or
2) Maintain the email id in the userid of the manager.
Otherwise how the workflow know which email id the email has to go.
hope this helps

Swati

RSWUWFML2 - CONVERSION ERROR sending workitem out via SCOT

Hi there,
Please help, I am using report RSWUWFML2 to send workitems to outlook, the email gets to outlook but it seems like there is a CONVERSION error that occurs in SAP that results in no workitem ATTACHMENT being in the email.
The error in the email is: "Message cannot be processed as it cannot be converted"
I turned on the trace in SCOT and this is the log....look at the sections in BOLD to see what happened:
SX_PERFORM_RFCSEND G Formats supported: ALI INT OBJ OTF PDF RAW SCR URL 
SX_OUTGOING_VERSION_BUILD G Read contents of document RAW32000000034669
SO_OBJECT_DATA_FOR_SEND_GET G Object transferred
SX_OUTGOING_VERSION_BUILD G Converting document RAW32000000034669 from TXT to INT SX_OUTGOING_VERSION_BUILD G Read contents of document EXT32000000011065
SO_OBJECT_DATA_FOR_SEND_GET G Object transferred
SX_OUTGOING_VERSION_BUILD G No suitable conversion found for SAP SX_GENERATE_NDR G Message cannot be processed as it cannot be converted 
My apologies for the bad formatting above, was the best I could do from copy and paste from SCOT....
I have also looked at the "conversion rules" in SCOT.....could this be the problem? It seems to want to convert type "SAP" to something.....but there is no "SAP type" in the conversion rules?
PLEASE help, I really need to get over this obstacle
Thanks
Lynton

Not sure if this will confuse matters more but if I look in the LOGS further in transaction SLG1 I see the following:
Typ Message text
Selection Setting: p_jobsuf = 2
 Selection Setting: p_tasks = TS00007986
 Selection Setting: x_sc_inb =
 Selection Setting: x_sc_dis =
 Selection Setting: x_sc_exe = X
 Selection Setting: p_s_nac = SWU_NOTIF
 Selection Setting: p_s_nan = 002
 Selection Setting: p_prol = SWU_NOTIF_PROLOG1
 Selection Setting: p_epil = SWU_NOTIF_EPILOG2
 Selection Setting: p_logon =
 Selection Setting: p_fromd = 03.12.2007
 Selection Setting: p_fromt = 08:00:00
 Selection Setting: p_user =
 Selection Setting: x_err_tr =
 Selection Setting: x_alw_tr = X
 Work item 000001389473 being edited
 SAPoffice document RAW32000000034669 sent
 Work item 000001389473: Send ok
 Work item 000001389473 sent to [email protected]
So this log looks fine BUT the previous trace from SCOT looks bad.....
Any ideas?

Send Workitem from Sap inbox to outlook

Hi all,
Any one please explain how to send workitems in sap inbox to outlook.
What all configurations are needed?
Thanks in advance

First you need to be able to send an e-mail from SAP Business Workplace to your e-mail address. If that's not in place you need to configure the e-mail connector or whatever it is called. Basis people should be able to help you with that. It not only involves setting up SCOT to transmit messages with address type INT, you also need to have jobs running on your application server to pass on the SMTP messages.
Once that is working you can start thinking about e-mail notifications for workflow. If you have transaction code SWNCONFIG in your system, you should use the extended notifcations that you configure there - that is SAP's recommendation. In order to use it it seems you must have SAP Web AS running.
The other alternative (unless you are on a release < R/3 4.6C) is the report RSWUWFML2.
For assistance setting up any of these three, please post your specific questions.
In both cases you need to have a sender address defined for the user that executes the report, any user sending e-mail must have an e-mail address in the user record.

Not able to send workitem to external email id or Lotus notes.

Hi,
I am using standard program RSWUWFML2 to send workitem to external email id like lotus notes. When I execute this program i get the message "Work item xxxxxxxx sent to xxxxxxxxxxx".
As per the documentation of the program, program should process the workitem and send the same to external mail id. Please let me know if i miss something.
Below are the settings i did for program.RSWUWFML2
Job suffix 2
Tasks (blank = all) : task name of the workitem to send is entered. only one task is entered.
New Work item = X
One message per workitem = X
workflow entry = X
workitem = X
workitem execution = X
logs all =X

Create and send workitem

Hi all,
I want to create an workitem without using workflow and send that workitem to the specified-user inbox. Any FM(Function Module) available for that. Can anyone help me with this because its urgent.
Regards,
Ramesh
Edited by: Ramesh Vinay on Sep 20, 2008 10:35 AM

Hi,
As Arghadip was telling, for creating a witem, you need either a wflow template or atleast a single-step task with a triggering event. But, for creating a task that doesn't need the user action, it has to be a NON DIALOG task and i'm not sure if your BO has that task, coz your single-step task should use a method of the BO.
Instead of sending a Notif. to the Wflow folder, if you send a mail, it'll go to the DOCUMENTS folder which also serves the similar purpose. Ofcourse, you can Delete the mails in the Documents Folder.
Hope you got what i just said although I'm not sure if my explanation will suffice your requirement.
Goodluck

Send workitem to two users

Hi All,
I need to send a particular workitem to two users. One user is a fixed user and can be hard coded, the other user will be the initiator of the workflow. I have tried creating a container element, type SWD_AOBJID(dict data type radio btn) with multiline with the fixed user as initial value in the container and used container operation, add to table assignment type, to add the second user. But the workitem only reaches the initiator.Need some help on this.
Regards,
Shantanu.

Hello,
Check in the workflow log if the multiline container element really has two values and if so, if they're similar (eg both preceded by US). If so, it should work.
If not, try making it a multiline container like SWWWIHEAD-WI_AAGENT

Unable to send workitem in email

Hi all,
I am using RSWUWFML2 report to send mail to external email id. But i am not getting the email. My email id is maintained in SU01D. I am passing task no TSXXXXXXXX to the report. This task will send mail to my SAP INBOX (Got mail to my sap inbox).
I debugged the report and i foundout that the task i have created is not present in the table SWWWIHEAD. So data is not being selected for my task. I have no idea where i went wrong.
Regards,
Gautham

Hi Gautham,
When you run the program without the tasknumber do you get any mails then? Also check if you set the option for only new workitems, if you did this could limit your selection. You could check in table SWWWIHEAD if your task is there.
Regards,
Martin

Problem in sending workitem to multiple users

check whether the task is a General task or not. If not make it general and then test. You should test by executing Tcode SWU_OBUF and then logout and login.

Send Workitem to external mail ID and Execute?

Hi all,
I have requirement to send a WorkItem to Approvers External Mail ID and executes there.I have tried to send text mail to Approver's external mail id using Fm SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.
It is working fine but how to send WI to external mail id?
Is there any way?
Regards,
Arpita

Hi AC,
there is a way out for the problem which you have where the user doesnt want to put his SAP userid and pwd and wants him to take directly to the SAP screen.
For this you need to create a shortcut in your SAP logon pad for the transaction.
and since you want him/her to go directly to the tcode, you need to put an entry in your sapshortcut.ini
-pw "password"
So what this entry does is the moment user clicks the workitem in Outlook, it would directly take him to the t-code for which you have created the shortcut, without asking him/her credentials.
For your second issue, yes if 2 users get workitem, if any one reserves or executes the workitem, it automatically deletes from the other users SAP inbox.
Hope it helps.

Can't send using outlook express,

Hello, deppy here---I have windows 8 and want to know how to reset so that outlook express will send. Receive OK.
Thanks,
Deppy

As said outlook express is not included (and doesn't work if you somehow get installed) with Windows 8. The default mail client included with Windows 8 doen't support Pop and so doesn't work with Verizon. The successor to Outlook express (Microsoft Windows Live Mail) does work as do many other Email clients.
