Testing workflow in UWL

Hi,
I have a workflow in SAP, it works fine in SAP Gui, now the users are going to test the functionality of the same in UWL. The prerequisite config for UWL has been done. The custom methods are in background tasks in the workflow developed and which is going to be tested in UWL. we are using only the user decision task and edit task (although copied and edited). Do we have register these tasks in SWFVISU before they are tested? Please let me know the other prerequisites, like portal roles, mapping user to the exact .portal system etc.
Thanks,
S.

Hi,
If it is a user decision Task, then the SWFVISU is not required.
Just you need to Re-register the Tasks in Portal.
For the other things, Please search in the Portal forum.
Thanks.

Error in IAC based workflow through UWL

Hi ITS Gurus,
I was using WS20000081 leave request service in ITS 620 and SAP Inbox(BWSP) and it was working fine. Now we have upgraded the R/3 system to ECC 6.0 and published all the services to Integrated ITS 7.00 and the Kernel patch level is 55 and Basis support package is 7.
a. I understand from a note 841785 that BWSP cannot be used in Integrated ITS. IS it true? is there any workaround to use BWSP in integrated ITS.
b. I started trying it with UWL. In the UWL i can see the leave request task for approval. When i click the task, i can see the approval screen. When i click approve or reject, the screen does not close and the work item does not get completed and the workflow is strucked. I tested other workflows in UWL which are not ITS based, and they are working fine, only the Integrated ITS based workflows are not working in UWL. I dont know where the problem lies, whether at UWL or at Integrated ITS.
Would appreciate your advice to solve the problem.

Sundar

Hi Sundar,
From my point of view this is definitely no ITS problem.
Let me explain why.
The IAC sbwp creates a frameset which controls the complete process chain of a workflow. This means there is application (programming) logic which controls the starting, executing and ending of a workitem.
ITS provides the technique but not the programming logic.
The UWL is an application which can start a workflow but doesn't take care of the result and that seems to be the problem. UWL should control the execution and ending of a workitem to update his list of workitems (according to user decisions).
It was not the decision of the ITS team to stop support for IAC sbwp with Integrated ITS. You might adress a developemnt request on the relevant component (BC-BMT-WFM) to urge them to support bwsp with Integrated ITS as well.
Thanks and regards,
Dieter

Appraisal workflow in UWL

Hello all,
I am trying to create a new view in UWL for appraisal workflows.
My requirement is to get the Appraisal workflows into UWL. However, when appraisal item is selected from UWL it should not take us to the appraisal form, instead it should display the details view (the one which is displayed in the item preview) in pop-up.
I created new configuration and for task 'TS12300096' in UWL configuration and selected 'UWL view detail' as action launcher when clicked on the workitem in UWL.
When i open the UWL iView, there are no items related to appraisal task mentioned above are visible and if i delete the configuration file for the task which i've created, it appears.
Below are the configuration files:

MDM Workflows and UWL in CE 7.11

Hello,
I am working with MDM Workflows and UWL in CE 7.11.
For configuring the UWL, we need to set some property of MDM Result Set iView to
connect and display MDM workflows for an MDM repository in EP 7.0.
But in CE 7.11 the concept of Result Set iView is replaced by ResultSet component which we use as a used component in the custom wrapper (DC).
How to use ResultSet component to configure UWL in CE 7.11 ?
Thanks in Advance..

Yogita.

Hi Mike,
Firstly you need to install SMTP server, and then you can configure GMAIL as your email server.

How di I find demo/test workflows with triggering events?

Hello all,
I am kinda new to WF. I would like to find a demo / test workflow which can be triggered via an event. This is in order to test my ABAP program which is supposed to launch a workflow via an event.
Thank you for your help.

You don't really need one. Just enable the event logging (transaction SWELS) and check the event log (transaction SWEL) afterwards. Don't forget to COMMIT WORK.
If you need the name of an object/event(/workflow) combination, use transaction SWE2 which lists all generic event-to-recipient entries, both those that are active and those that are just defined (event will still be in log).

How are you all able to test Workflow

I'm trying to implement workflow (update values). It is my understanding that any changes made to the workflow don't show up until the next day. If I am correct this makes it hard to test a workflow (in a timely manner)to be sure it is set up correctly.

One thing I've learned is to debug the workflow creating tasks that are assigned to yourself. Once that is working, then go switch to email (assuming that's what you are trying to do). I've found the task creation to be very dependable. Email delivery has disappointed me more than once.

How to implement workflow without UWL in portal?

Hi,
Our project has a requirement where we have to implement workflow. We need to display notifications and workitems(approve or reject) in the enterprise portal. The problem is that the client says we cannot use UWL as its their policy.
My question is whether it is possible to create a workflow and execute the tasks in the portal without UWL. Is there any alternative like connectors or third party tools etc? please help asap

Hi Gokul,
I had faced the same issue in my project.
In case you aren't able to use UWL you could directly call the transaction associated with SBWP(Sap Business WorkPlace) in the portal by calling the link associated with transaction SBWP.
for example in my case instead of Portal I had to work in BSP wherein I used this method by directly calling the link associated with SBWP.
the link as was used by me is:-
http://SAP Servername.com:8001/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui/!?sap-client=100&sap-user=sapuserid&sap-password=saplogin password&~transaction=sbwp
please note that you need change in the server name after Http:// in my case the server name was blrkecisbank.ad.infosys.com in your case it will be different. so try it out from your end and let me know whether you were able to get results.

Workflow to UWL to ABAP WebDynpro ( Binding not happening)

Hi All,
I have created Workflow which need to be executed from UWL.
The workitem in UWL will call a ABAP Web Dynpro application for approval Process.
I have registered the my Task in SWFVISU and Maintained the necessary settings (Even Re-registered the new task in UWL ).
When I click the workitem in UWL it successfully calls the ABAP webDynpro application.
But the Parameter WORKITEM id is not transfered from workflow to Web Dynpro Application.
I have created a parameter WORKITEMID in the Workflow and populating it at runtime. But the same is not being passed to WebDynpro Import Parameter.
I see that WORKITEMID is initial at runtime while debugging in WebDynpro Application.
Can you please help me to bind the WORKITEMID from Workflow to WeBsynpro or from UWL to WebDynpro??
Thanks
Praveen

Hi,
You have bind the work item id to the task?
You have added the work item id parameter in SWFVISU?
Can you show us the UWL XML code for your task?

Karri

SAP Business Workflow Vs UWL

As a part of our first release - we had HR and SRM and had major Portal usage. UWL was leveraged for the HR & SRM tasks.
Currently for our next release - we dont have any HR / SRM - But core business processes around SD, MM, FI modules and not any functionality is on Portal. There are couple of workflow scenarios that will be enabled via Business Workflows. We are considering a case, if we really want to display them via SAP Portal UWL too in addition and if that will be of any value add ?
Any suggestions, please ?

Hi Dhanz,
Yep, as Karri said, one of the main reasons why the UWL is so widely used is for central functionality. Another plus is the substitution functionality. With the inbox, users can assign other users to work on their tasks, request absence etc. For your end users - they do not have the sapgui installed on the desktop....with a browser and access to the portal they can check their inboxes. I would recommend though if you are adding more tasks and possibly more users that you check the sizing guide that I posted at the top of this forum as a sticky thread from our development support colleagues.

MDM workflows and UWL

Hello,
We have recently upgraded ourselves to MDM 5.5 SP4 Patch pack 4. This patch pack was intended to solve an earlier problem we faced when integrating Universal Worklist (UWL) with MDM.
Earlier the UWL would return error in case the MDM workflows had worklfow jobs which the user had to not "Accepted". If the user "Accepts" it using MDM Data Manager, then the record would appear on the UWL.
I wish to know how we can configure the "Accept" button on the UWL, so that the user sees all the "Available" workflows and can "Accept" the workflow job which he plans to work upon.
Thanks in advance,
PKS.

Hi Yogita,
Here is a document for you.l It shows how to configure MDM & BPM. From within this there is information in regards to the Universal Worklist:

You may also want to raise a post for this in MDM forum.
