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.

PLEASE HELP ME.
Tanks

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.

Cannot see SWFVISU tasks in Portal UWL after re-registering

Hi,
I am using EP7.01 SP3, ESS 1.0 SP 15, ECC6.
I do not see the tasks listed in SWFVISU in UWL even after registering the system alias in UWL Administrator. I have registered the alias on webflow connector, cleared cache. Logged off,
logged on and I still dont see the tasks.
I additionaly went to R3 transaction SWU_OBUF and synchronized the runtime buffer.
Then registered on UWL Admin, cleared cache.
Any ideas on this?

Hi Pramod,
Thanks you for response.
I have restarted the portal, but it still does not show the tasks especially the ones for leave.
The portal landscape is a Global Portal as the consumer and the HR Portal(ESS MSS and other packages are installed) as the provider.
Im trying this directly on the HR Portal.
Do you think the Global portal has an effect on this?
I need to find a solution for this, but as a workaround is it possible to add the leave itemtypes(there are 3 item types for leave) to the current UWL. For example:
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS12300097.SAP_R3_HumanResources" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="default">
      <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_R3_HumanResources" externalType="TS12300097" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
      <Actions>
        <Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction="" handler="SAPWebDynproLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="WebDynproApplication" value="LeaveRequestApprover"/>
            <Property name="WebDynproDeployableObject" value="com.sap/ess~lea"/>
            <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default=""/>
        </Action>
      </Actions>
    </ItemType>

CRM Tasks in Portal UWL

Hello Everyone,
Specific question for everyone. It is possible to use the UWL to pull in Tasks from CRM 7.0 into the portal. However, when the tasks are launched, I would the details NOT to be displayed in the SAPGUI HTML but in the CRM 7.0 BSP.
Anyone do this before?

Error when launching GP UWL tasks from consumer portal

In our federated portal network we have configured the universal worklist in the consumer portal to display guided procedure tasks from a producer portal - both portals are NW 7.0 SP14.
All GP tasks from the producer portal are displayed in the consumer portal without issue.
When we attempt to launch one of the GP tasks in the consumer portal we recieve the following error - Could not retrieve process instance: contact your system administrator.
If we launch the GP tasks in the producer portal there are no issues.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

I worked through this issue with SAP support.
For the ItemType with name="uwl.task.gp.XXX", where XXX is the system alias of the remote GP system.
Changed attribute from defaultAction="launchGP" to defaultAction="editItem" because the name of the Action described for this itemType is "editItem".
The action handler that is used is "UrlLauncher" (handler="UrlLauncher") but this handler works only with attribute launchInNewWindow="yes". So in all actions with attribute handler="UrlLauncher" change the attribute launchInNewWindow from "no" to launchInNewWindow="yes".
Uploaded new uwl.gp.config.xml with high priority.

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.

Regd : Integration Between Portal Layer And Process Layer

Hi Experts,
I have a query regarding the integration between Portal layer and the process layer in CE. How does the interaction happens or what is the process behind the integration of these two layers. I was going through some help documents at help.sap.com.
But from there I could not get much of information. So need your inputs on the same.
Thanks
Pradipta Kumar Mishra

Hi Pradipta,
If you are referring to Guided Procedures as the "Process Layer", then you have one of the three options that I can think of:
1) Deliver the GP processes via UWL in CE Portal
2) Deliver the GP processes via UWL in EP (if your organization has one)
3) Delvier the GP processes via GP Runtime in CE Portal
Of the three mentioned above, option 2 is preferred since your business users get to access their tasks via a single interface. But you need a EP. If that's not the case, I would suggest Option 1. For integrating GP and UWL, please refer to following link.

UWL: task visible but no action can be performed

Hi,
I have a task in the UWL in a development portal which is visible, but no action can be performed (there is no link and thus you cannot click on the task).
In the Test portal I did the same configuration and there everything works fine.
What can be the cause of this? The configuration for the task is very basic:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE UWLConfiguration PUBLIC '-//SAP//UWL1.0//EN' 'uwl_configuration.dtd' [
]>
<UWLConfiguration version="1.0">
<ItemTypes>
    <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.decision.TS90000024.SAP_WebDynpro_XSS" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="viewDetail" executionMode="default">
      <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_WebDynpro_XSS" externalType="TS90000024" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
    </ItemType>
</ItemTypes>
</UWLConfiguration>
Thank you for your help!
Wim

Two way to add actions to your ItemType :
Add tags
<Actions>
</Actions>
if you add it under <UWLConfiguration version="1.0"> you can describe global actions that you can then link to itemtypes or views by using <Action reference="action_name"> Where action_name is the action's name that you or standard have already declared in xml files.
You can also add this tag between <ItemType> or <View> tags. If you do so, the action will exist only in this itemtype/view.
exemple :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE UWLConfiguration PUBLIC '-//SAP//UWL1.0//EN' 'uwl_configuration.dtd'
>
<UWLConfiguration version="2.0">
<Actions>
     <Action name="myAction" ... />
</Actions>
<Itemtypes>
     <ItemType name="myItem" ...>
         <Actions>
            <Action reference="myAction">
            <Action reference="complete">    
            <Action name="anotherAction" ....../>
         </Actions>
     </ItemType>
</ItemTypes>
</UWLConfiguration>
I assume you want to reuse standard action for standard tasks so is the <Action reference=""> option using the standard actions' names for reference vallue. You'll find most of them in uwl.standard.
For more details see the UWL DTD in sap help !!

UWL task takes up to 2 minutes to appear

Hi there,
We have a situation where the UWL task takes between 1 minute and 2 minuts to appear in the user's inbox. in our analysis we have found that the task is created immediatly in the business process but it set with an inactive status. After a period of time the task status changes to Ready and the task appears in the users UWL.
We are using NW 7.2 SP3. The task is using WD for Java UI and the "Activate this task by default when creating it" is set in the time constraints. No other time constraints have been set.

Christiaan

Hi Paul,
we have the same problem since we move from CE 7.2 SP3 to SP4.
We just created an OSS-Message last week.

FPN XSS - issues with UWL on consumer portal

Hi UWL gurus,
We are trying to implement FPN with ESS/MSS installed on one of the producers. I'm trying to configure the UWL in the consumer and copied the ESS and MSS roles from producer into the consumer as similar location. So the UWL tasks that refers to the roles work fine, but there are tasks that launch WD Java app deployed in the producer as well as few OBN based tasks. What should I do to get them working?
FYI, all our portals are NW 7.01 SP7
Appreciate your timely help.
Thanks,
Giri.

Hi Sushil,
I appreciate your response.
I have already done both the items you have listed, but when I click on a task I get "Page not found" error as the business package is not installed on the consumer. I went through SAP Help documentation
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/Helpdata/EN/45/80361f617409b5e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm
and created RDL to the ESS and MSS roles - now all the role based tasks work fine, but there are some WDJ (eg TS12300097) and OBN (eg TS20700091) based tasks that are still not working and I can not figure out how to resolve those.
Let me know if you have a solution.
Thanks,
Giri.

UWL in Federated Portal Network

Hi All,
Can anyone please suggest how UWL works in case of Federated Portal Network? I have a requirement to show the tasks, alerts, notifications from more then one Producer in the same UWL iview on Consumer.
I followed the steps as mentioned in the SAP help document Running the UWL in the Consumer Portal http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/8084e2e8c9487fe10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm but no luck.
I would appreciate if anyone can let me know the proper process for doing this or could provide any document for it.
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Seema Rane.

Hi Seema,
There are two ways to configure UWL on the federated portal:
1. Run UWL on the Consumer Portal:
a. Everything must be copied over, including xml files. Retrieve information directly from the backend. Use the IviewLauncher Handler. This uses the remote delta link from the producer.
Have a look here at the help documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/8084e2e8c9487fe10000000a114a6b/content.htm
2. Run UWL in Producer Portal:
a. Here the configuration is predefined.
b. Use remote role assignment or remote delta links
producer remote delta links should be available as remote delta links on the consumer.
copy as remote delta links; config is done on the producer
Have a look here at the help documentation:
EP7
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/81ab2f3bab6975e10000000a114a6b/content.htm
(for nw701, 702, 720 search the help documentation accordingly)
I hope that this information is helpful to you.
