Triggering Universal Work List item

Hi
is it possible to create a Universal Work List ad-hoc item within EP via an API or web-service?
We could simply create a work item in R/3 and have the UWL link to R/3, but our preference is to avoid unnecessary hits on our R/3 server and create the item directly within EP.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
To answer your question, yes.
IProviderConnector implementations can use any communication mechanism to connect to the systems and retreive the Items. For example: EJB call, JCO, Web Service etc.
I can see in this in the JavaDocs in the package: com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.connect. I will attach a link to the full javadocs so you can take a look:

I hope that this information is helpful to you!

The notifications aren't update using the API of universal work list

We use in the portal home a development iview that works with de API of Universal Work List. This iview shows the number of notifications and tasks. While the number of tasks are updated correctly, the number of notifications are not refreshed. The only way to update the number of notifications is going and refreshing the Universal Work List iView provided by SAP.
The API that we are using not support this case? Any suggestion?
We havent found information about this.
Our system version is 7.00 SP14
We attachment the call that weve used.
      try {
        notificaciones = tareas = 0;
        IUWLService uwlService =
          (IUWLService)PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(
            IUWLService.ALIAS_KEY);
        UWLContext uwlContext = new UWLContext();
        IUser user = componentRequest.getUser();
        uwlContext.setUser(user);
        uwlContext.setAllowBackEndConnections(true);
        uwlService.beginSession(uwlContext, -1);
        IUWLItemManager itemManager = uwlService.getItemManager(uwlContext);
        QueryResult result =
          itemManager.refreshCacheAndGetItems(uwlContext, null, null, null);
        ItemCollection collection = result.getItems();
        for (int i = 0; i < collection.size(); i++) {
          Item item = collection.get(i);
          if ((item.isUnRead() || item.isNew())
            && item.getItemType().startsWith("uwl.notification")) {
            notificaciones++;
          } else if (
            (item.isUnRead() || item.isNew())
              && item.getItemType().startsWith("uwl.task")) {
            tareas++;
        uwlService.endSession(uwlContext);
      } catch (UWLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();

Thank you very much for your quick answer...
But I think that you don't understand me. We can read notifications number but not in real time because they are not updated until we go to the UWL and we force there an update. We want to show in real time the number of notifications that a user has.
Does anybody how to update/refresh this using the API?
Thanks for your suggestions

Please let me where Universal Work List Administration page is located

Hi All,
Please let us know whre we can find "Open the Universal Work List Administration page".
How to register a system to UWL?
We are getting following message
<b>"System not registered. Contact the administrator</b>"
Connection Status "Failure
null

Hi,
This is where you will find UWL Administration Page :
Go to System Administration -> System Configuration -> Universal WorkList & Workflow -> Universal Worklist Administration.
To register the system, go to Universal Worklist Administration -> Universal Worklist - Webflow Item Type Registration -> Register Item types for all systems. Incase you haven't created the system, you will have to create one. This is how you create it : Go to System Administration -> System Configuration -> Universal WorkList & Workflow -> Universal Worklist -> UWL Systems configuration -> Universal Worklist Systems and then create one using one of the systems in System Landscape.
Hope this helps.

Sunil

GRC 10 Work Inbox Notification or Universal Work List instead of SMTP

Hi,
I wanted to check with you all if there is a possibility to get SAP internal Work Inbox or UWL notification instead of outlook/SMTP notification.
The scenarios this will be required for us are
1. User ID details communication at the end of the request.
2. Notification if access is approved/ rejected.
3. Notification for Firefighter approved or rejected.
4. BRM role approval notification
Kindly let me know if we can pull the notification from Outlook/SMTP to internal SAP Mailbox.
Regards,
Prasad Chaudhari

Hi Guru,
If I am not wrong the items mentioned send notification to outlook/smtp and not work inbox. The work inbox will get request for approval and uar/sod review.
Are you talking of some parameter/settings to change this behaviour?
Thanks,
Prasad Chaudhari

Display universal work item from CRM work list

Hello all,
In ECC system, we have defined several workflows. We can see the work item from the universal work list via the portal.
Now, we have a new request, we would like to see these work items form CRM work list.
I have checked the custo and I have questions:
1. spro- Customer Relationship Management under UI Framework Technical Role Definition Define Navigation Bar Profile . Select the relevant navigation bar profile and add the specific UI objects WI_BOR.
please check the link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crmscen70/helpdata/en/e9/7fec7e8f954e7fb60d56dd6324e313/frameset.htm
2. CRM->Basic functions->Worklists->Define Alert Inbox and Workflow Inbox->Define Object-Specific Navigation
=> here i am not sure if need to add entry, if yes, which entry ?
3. need to define ??
RFC destination
. Transaction Launcher Logical Systems and URLs
and workflow substitute profile Id
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards,
Elsa

I've found a solution.
I've been told that this problem is occuring
because the Work Item ID is not being passed correctly to the BOR basedtransaction.
The solution in my case is:
(1) Goto SPRO -> Customer Relationship Management -> IC Web Client ->
Basic Functions -> Transaction Launcher -> Configure Transaction
Launcher (wizard)
(2) Give the launch transaction id in the 'Entries' screen. The launch
transaction id is Z_ACTION_EXECUTE_WORKITEM in my case.
(3) Keep all the parameters same in the further screens until you reach
the 'Transaction Parameters' screen
(4) In this screen, the value currently being passed to Object Key is
//selectedAUI Workitem/WI_ID. Change this to
//selectedAUIWFWIAttachments/OBJECT_ID.
Goto last step and then say 'Complete'.

Auto-included link to list item not working in Workflow or email notification

I made a workflow straight from my SharePoint site--NOT from SharePoint Designer. (My computer is still running on Windows XP, so I can't download Designer until my boss upgrades me to a newer system.) When creating the workflow, you have the option to include
a link to the list item by clicking a checkbox. The links don't work in either the email notification or in the workflow properties. Extra characters are being added for some weird reason. (For example, the correct link looks like "https://www.w14b.comcast.net/sites/<yada
yada>.docx" and the links in the workflow and email look like "http://www.w14spw-po-b1.com/sites/<yada yada>.docx") I see no place to edit the URL. How do I fix the links???

Hi,
Please check if the http://www.w14spw-po-b1.com/sites/ is the url of default zone of the web application where this site resides.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

In addition, Windows XP SP3 is supported for SharePoint designer 2010:

List Item event receiver not working: SharePoint 2010

Hi,
I have ceated one custom list and also created a Event reciever solution using Visual Studio 2010.
In the event reciever I added ItemAdded, ItemUpdated events and did some my business related coding.
It was worked very well when I add/edit the list item.
But, now suddenly it stopped working!, I i really don't know what went wrong suddenly.
Only thing I did is, created one more solution event reciver and added some more columns to the list.
I then reverted all these changes and deleted the new event reciever from the site solution.
I am able to build and deploy the solution in VS 2010, and I could see the solution in site solution but events are not firing when I created/edited the list items
Any idea what went wrong and how can I get it back to work.
It has spoiled my all the work and I am unable to proceed.
Please let me know if anyone have any inputs.
I also tried following things: restart visual studio and deploy again, restart IIS, restart system itself, actvate-deactivate solution manually in site, GAC the dll manually.
But nothing has worked for me.
One more thing, I am using this solution as Sandbox solution and when I tried to make Sandbox as false and then deploy it gave me error like:
"Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object."
Is this something related to my above problem?
Thanks, Sharath

Check Event receivers using powershell:-
Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$spWeb = Get-SPWeb -Identity "sitename"
$spList = $spWeb.Lists["yourlistname"]
$spList.EventReceivers | Select assembly,name
Replace "sitename" with your site url and "yourlistname" with list name.
Once you confirm the event receivers, use below to delete them
Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$spWeb = Get-SPWeb -Identity "your site url"
$spList = $spWeb.Lists["TrackTravel"]
$evts = $spList.EventReceivers | where {$_.Assembly -eq ""your assembly"}
$evts
if ($evts.Count -gt 0) {
            foreach ($evt in $evts) {
                Write-Host("Deleting..." + $spList.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl + ", " + $evt.Type)
                $evt.Delete()
Once you run this, you can now redeploy your solution.

The Create List Item workflow action does not work in document library with document template

My end goal is more complex but below is a basic example of the issue I’m having that just simply does not work.
I'm trying to use a site workflow to create an item in a document library that has a document template applied to it but the file that gets created by the workflow is corrupt and cannot be opened.
I created a document library and edited the document template by adding some text to the header and changing it to a Word docx file instead of a Word dotx file. I tested the document template by clicking the files tab in the ribbon and then clicking new
document which opens the document template in Word and allows me to edit and save the document back to SharePoint. Then I created a SharePoint 2013 site workflow in SharePoint Designer that contains a single Create List Item action, and that action creates
an item in the document library with the name field statically defined. I published the workflow and then manually start it on the site. The workflow completes successfully and when I navigate to the document library the document has been created by the workflow.
When I click on the document to open it in the Word Web App it throws the error pictured below and if I open it in the Word client application it just opens a blank document and not the correct document template.
I also tried using a SharePoint 2010 workflow with pretty much the same results. Opening the document in Word Web App gives the same error as above and opening the document in the Word client application gives the error pictured below.
Come on Microsoft creating a Word Document in a SharePoint Document Library from a SharePoint Workflow should just work! Is this a bug or does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the this issue?

I had the same problem with corrupted document - this worked for me:
1. Create a 2010 Workflow which creates the list element in a document library
(you may start this workflow from your 2013 workflow if applicable)
2. In the Create New List Item properties - make sure to set ContentTypeId to your content type
("Id for indholdstype" is Danish for "Contenttype ID")
3. Your Content Type template should be a ".docx" file - NOT a ".dotx" file...!
(I have always created my templates for content types as .dotx files - seems Microsoft wants us to use ordinary .docx files as template files for content types)
Hope this helps you!
