Dear all,

With this task definition:
In /IWWRK/IF_TGW_SCENARIO~GET_TASK_COUNT method for ZCL_FUND_TASK_COUNT class I've defined the corresponding code for get Task count. This method has a breakpoint, and execution stops when I've clicked corresponding tile, but previously task count in tile displays '???':
Before I've clicked on tile, application runs successfully. Any idea for solve this issue?
Thanks very much and regards.

What happens when counter for transport requests is exhausted ?

Hi,
Just a simple question: Do you know what happens if the counter for transport requests reaches it's limit ?
Actually our development system has created E30K999205 as a last request/task. What will happen after E30K999999 ?? This will happen in two months...

Identify task flow for the request

Hi,
We have a requirement identify for which task flow the new request has come? We have a left navigation bar, where menu links are configured and each menu activates one task flow. When the user clicks on any menu, the corresponding task flow is called. We would like to know in the phase listener to which taskflow the request is coming?
Is there a way to know this? Our application is based on UI shell and when I look for requested URL always the same URL is coming.
Thanks,
Rama

Escalation for approved request

Hello colleagues!
I've found interesting behaviour of my workflow. My path contains three stages: GRAC_MANAGER, ZLICENSE_CHECK and ZROLE_APPROVE. For the last I made escalation after 10mins to ZSELECT_ALTERNATIVE_OWNER.
If I confirm request on the last stage it is closed. But after 10 mins the request raises again on ZSELECT_ALTERNATIVE_OWNER. Why does it happen? I though that if request was closed all other operations for it would be closed.
How to resolve this issue?

I mean that in one blogs or discussion was recommended to use the same Function for alternative agent as you use for the main, but with different decision table. For exapmle, if you have functional area BW and Appprover 1, so for alternative function decision table will be looking as BW = Approver2. When Alternative agent will be at work it will be looking for every lineitem, but not for unapproved only.
Example,
Main agent
BW=Approver1
BS=Approver2
Alternative agent
BW=Approver3
BS=Approver4
Runtime:
BW=Approver1 approved
BS=Approver2 was not approved in maintained time.
Escalation
BW=Approver3 will be approve all roles with BW functional areas that were approved by Approver1.
BS=Approver4 approve.
So that, I need to split (using property of lineitme something like revised) lineitems and those that were not approve send on escalation, the other don't send to alternative. If it's possible, my example would be looking like:
BW=Approver1 approved
BS=Approver2 was not approved in maintained time.
Escalation
BS=Approver4 approve.
Hope I clarify my complicated thoughts.

Artem

Getting UWL task count for all users in a role.

Hi.
I recently posted a question regarding a very similar issue, but I haven't got any response yet. I think my question might have been somewhat poorly phrased, so I will try to do better at explaining what we need.
We have a number of processes, most of which need to be dynamically assigned to a user when created. The way we want to assign those tasks is by executing a WebService which would receive a role name and get all the users for that role. Then, using the UWL API, it would check how many tasks each of the users have in their UWL, and return the UserID for whoever has the least tasks. I haven't been able to get this to work. I keep getting Logged in users context or session doesn't exist Exception.
Please, any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Currently working with SAP NWDS 7.1 SP05 PAT0005

Hi,
Thank you for your response, however, that's not what I need.
For you and anyone esle who might find this extra info useful...
I know how to get a user's role(s), and how to get the users in a role.
I also know how to assign a task to a specific user dynamically.
Using the UWL API, I know how to get the tasks (or items) in a user's UWL from a WD application, I need to do that from a WebService and using pretty much the same code, with the necessary adjustments, I can't get it to work.
Furthermore, I'm able to get the UWL tasks for ONE user, that user being the one I log into the application with. For example, if I write code to get the tasks for user testUser1, I need to log in with testUser1 to get it to work, if I log in with any different user or make it a non-authenticated application, it won't work.
Again, help on this is much needed and will be appreciated.

Approve Request Fiori app - UI Extensions not working

We have configured the standard Approve Requests app to show Customer Invoice approval and it works fine. And there are 3 requirements I am trying to achieve in our sandbox on top of the Approve Requests (CA_ALL_APV) app.
1. Add a custom UI field in the info tab of the details page.
2. Enable to show the attachment and notes tab (standard app has these 2 not visible)
3. Enable multiple approval(I think i'll start another discussion for this requirement since standard doesn't support mass approval-which is such a negative for this app)
After downloading the application and adding it to an SAPUI5 project in eclipse, I made the following changes:
For requirement 1, I created InfoFields.fragment.xml where i have the below code:
<core:FragmentDefinition xmlns="sap.m" xmlns:core="sap.ui.core">
    <Label text="Vendor ID"/>
      <Text text="1234"/>
    <Label text="Custom Field 2"/>
      <Text text="Custom Text 2"/>
</core:FragmentDefinition>
Additionally for requirement 1 along with requirement 2, i created a customizing object under the metadata object with the below code in Component.js:
customizing : {
"sap.ui.viewModifications": {
"cross.fnd.approve.requests.view.S3": {
"ARAttachmentIconTabFilter": {
"visible": true,
"cross.fnd.approve.requests.view.S3": {
"ARNoteIconTabFilter": {
"visible": true,
"sap.ui.viewExtensions" : {
"cross.fnd.approve.requests.view.S3":{
"CustomerExtensionForInfoTabContent": {
className: "sap.ui.core.Fragment",
fragmentName: "cross.fnd.approve.requests.view.InfoFields",
type : "XML"
After making the changes, I uploaded the WebContent folder of the project back to the backend with the report /UI5/UI5_REPOSITORY_LOAD.
I named the new BSP application ZVCA_ALL_APV5.
How i tested? I tested it in 2 ways:
1. From SE80, Right Click and test. This does not load anything. A blank page is shown. The console in the IE developer tools shows no errors.
2. Change the URL in LPD_CUST to point to the new BSP. The run the fiori launchpad. this will show the tile for Approve Requests with the correct number of workitems as 2. But once you click on the tile, an error popup is shown which reads 'Failure - Unable to start App'. The console in IE has an error: "TypeError - Object doesn't support property or method '_createRequestUrl' Approve Requests".
I made the changes to Component.js and did not touch Component-dbg.js or Component-preload.js. Do i need to change these 2 files too each time i change Component.js?
We are in process to decide if we really want to use Fiori or go with Kony. So I would want to get Fiori working in sandbox with our custom requirement to give it a chance.
@Fiori Gurus: What do you think the problem is? Am i making any silly mistake here?

Varun

ESS leave request workflow : not able to approve request

Hi experts,
When i create leave request, work item for approving request is not coming in the approver's bussiness workplace. I am using std workflow WS12300111. Is there any customization needs to be done ??
please help me
Pointes will be rewarded
Regards,
Sameer

Hi Samee,
Did you select General Task in the steps of workflow you have an agent?
Sónia
You have a chief position on the Organization Unit where you have the employees?
Sometimes it's possible to forget this one:
Transaction SWDD, select the workflow WS12300111 and press CTRL+F8 (Basic Data)
there's another button "Agent assignment for task" (SHIFT+F9)
set task to "General task" with the "Attributes..." Button. (EVERY user can start this task).
And check this to:
Using transaction SWFVISU, check the following entries and correct these where required:
TS12300097 Java WebDynpro APPLICATION LeaveRequestApprover
                 PACKAGE sap.com/ess~lea
TS12300116 Java WebDynpro
                 APPLICATION LeaveRequest
                 PACKAGE sap.com/ess~lea
(check this, because usually you have an error, instead of sap.com you have com.sap)
Register the work items again. Additional information about registering work items is available in the UWL documentation.
After re-register the System Alias again in the UWL - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

How to create two respone for one request

Hi
is there any way for us to create two response for one request
the scenario is as below
1. user click on update button for particular record in the datatable (
after its get updated and status get updated = 'UPDATED' it will remove the object from ObjectListDataProvider and clear the tablePhaseListener ).
2. After it gets updated successfuly , i want to prompt the user with generateExcel function which using response.getOutputStream() using Apache POI.
How can we combine 1 and 2 together
Here what i have tried and didnt work
1. i tried to put the generateExcel function in destroy() method after page is rendered but it gives me Exception
2. i tried to put the generateExcel function in prerender() method
but the page will only execute the generateExcel function
- the data still get updated to the database but it doesnt refresh the page ( i meant the removing object and tablephaseListener.clear() doesnt work )
3 . i tried to put generateExcel Function after it process the data
public String updateData()
       //update data
       if(success){
            // prompt user to save excell sheet
        return null;
     }This one also doesnt work and gives the same behaviour as number 2
The Prompt to save excel sheet still gets popped up
but the page just doesnt get refreshed
Thanks
is anybody know the workaround?

yea i did set some alert message and clear the table by calling
provider.removeRow and commitChanges
it just doesnt reflected in the page that we see
by actually is already removing the row from the provider
Thanks

Universal Worklist task restrictions for ECC transactions

All,
We are on NW04 and have recently implemented the Universal Worklist (UWL) and have limited our tasks displayed to just two tasks as specified below as mentioned in thread: UWL restrict list of tasks to display .
supportedItemTypes="uwl.task.webflow.TS21300098, uwl.task.webflow.TS90700186"
These are both Web Dynpro java tasks (and configuerd in the Visualization SWFVISU) and this works as expected. We would now like to add a new task which is not web dynpro. It is a dailog task to an ECC transaction. If I add the task to the string of supported item types, it does not appear. If I remove the restrictions and change the supporteditemtypes parameter back to "uwl.task", then the new task appears and executes correctly.
Can anyone assist with getting the transaction task to be a supported item type? Do I need to add visualization for this task? If so, what is the visualization type? The options in the drop down in SWFVISU do not seem to apply.
By the way, the approval task I'm adding is delivered task TS40007901 for approval of the CATS Timesheet.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
-Jeff-

You can call also pages using the IViewLauncher.
        <Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction="" handler="IViewLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="iview" value="ROLES://portal_content/Fresenius/kabi_nl/Iviews/ESS/Zeitmanagement/com.fresenius.Abwesenheitsmitteilung"/>
            <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
            <Property name="DynamicParameter" value="wi_id=${item.externalId}"/>
            <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
            <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
          </Properties>
But why would you want to have the navigation too in a new window ?
That would confuse me as a user to have 2 navigations in 2 windows.
The problem with UWL in general (using a popup) is that after you are finished in the popup,
the task is still there. I get lots of complaints; waiting for EhP3 or 7.3. There should be a instant refresh UWL feature.....

Kai

AP Approval Notification - URL not displayed correctly

Hi,
we are working in R12 on the AP Invoice Notification for approval. We are displaying all invoice details and the customer had an URL displayed correctly in the notification in R11. The URL is pointing to an Scan of the actual Invoice.
In R12 we are not able to te get the URL correctly displayed on the notification. Since the URL is pointing to an picture (in TIF format), the notification tries to embed the picture. We would like to display the URL.
Any suggestions how to get this done?
Thx Roel.

We found the solution.
We added the string 'LNK:' right before the URL and this worked.
