Two action in Universal Worklist

Hi Experts,
Whenever I test any of the process by initiating it and then I check that action in the universal worklist then it show two action means if I have generated Action1 from the process1. then in the Universal Worklist I found the list as
Action1
Action1
So, do you how to remove this duplicacy of the action in the Universal Worklist..
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Kuldeep Verma

hi kuldeep,
please check the GP conector using the following path, system administraiton->system configuration->universal worklist and workflow->universal work list administration
inside that there will be universal worklist system.
please check the connector to the GP, there should be only one active connector to the GP.
If there is 2 active connector to the GP then it will give the error as you got.
With regards

Universal worklist- search people

Hi,
I need inputs/suggestions regarding UWL people picker enhancements
Currently we are on EP 7.02 SP 7 version, and planning to upgrade to support pack 12.
So we saw a wiki on UWL people picker enhancements on Sp12.
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BPX/Enhancements+to+the+Universal+Worklist+People+Picker.
It explains about activating UME company properties, currently we don't have.
We have two clients integrated to same Portal and user base is LDAP.
We use user administration in Portal only to assign Portal roles to LDAP groups.
Coming to current config of restricting Users while creating the substitution,
We defined trusted attribute "department" in system admin-->km content management repository-->Manage UME object settings, and assigned Users with a protal role having UME action searchrestircted to allow Users to search the User details from the same department while creating substitution.
Current configuration which I explained above will not work if we upgrade our Portal to SP12?
So, for the UWL people picker enhancement,Company concept needs to be activated and is mandatory? if that is correct,
setting UME company properties will create company groups, how we need to tag the LDAP users to this company groups?
Can we assign tam groups to company groups, so that respective clients can see the User details of the same client while creating substitution rule?
Please provide your thoughts and suggestions.
Many Thanks
Chandra.

SAP Press book on Universal Worklist

Hi all,
I have just started writing a book for SAP Press on the Universal Worklist, to pass along some of what I have learned when working with the portal these past 5 years or so (anyone else remember EP 4.5?)
I've put up a blog entry at
<a href="http://www.fortybeans.com/">http://www.fortybeans.com/</a> and if you click the <a href="http://fortybeans.wishconsultants.co.uk/item/2007/2/6/universal-worklist-book-for-sap-press">Read more</a> link you can see the proposed chapters and sections I will be writing.
I'd really appreciate any feedback any of you can give me - I want to make this the best possible book of its kind, and the only way to do that is to find out what people want from the book and then to give it to them. Maybe this could be the first book from SAP Press with "Powered by SDN" on the cover?
Let me know what you think,
Darren

First off....EP4.5?....yep...when it was a Top Tier product. I was working on Workplace 3.0 (bootcamp) at the time....one week later, SAP and Top Tier announce the joint formation of the company "SAP Enterprise Portals" with their flagship product EP 5.0. Ahhh those were the days. I really want to meet the person who came up with calling it "portal-S" because I spent countless time explaining why the product was "Enterprise Portal" and not "Enterprise Portals". That was only compounded once SAP bought Top Tier outright, brought EP5.0 back into SAP proper and folded the "SAP Enterprise Portals" company. Ugg....anyways...
The book sounds great. I too have fought in the trenches and wrestled with the UWL. It is great when it is used strictly as intended and with the limitations it might have. Past that....let the fun begin!
I read your rough outline. Some chapters/content I would really like to see....
- some basic coverage on Workflow (what it is, how it works, etc).
- some explaination of "webflow", how it got started and where it is today
- how workflow correlates to what the user sees in the UWL
- limitations of the UWL based on support package level ( this is a big one!!! trying to use attachments now...nope...can't until the next SP level unless we backport our own custom webdynpro...that's not fun to find out 2 months in! haha)
- really good examples of customizing items to launch one way in the portal versus another way within the backend inbox (ie. uwl xml config vs. config in the backend) and show ways to launch various SAP apps (dialog in SAP GUI, ITS service, webdynpro, etc). from UWL items.
- same as above but show how to launch NON-SAP apps (we have a situation now where we have a UWL item that launches a Flex application and passes an order number to it)
- similar to the above two, what's possible to pass across from the UWL to whatever through the portal (like UWL to an iView and on to the underlying application)...figuring out how "DynamicParameters" works is new to lots of people who might not have web dev background and/or understand the construction/structure of a URL query string
- some information along the lines of "UWL launched an item/action out to some app, but how does the workflow status get updated to that fact?" ie. what makes the round trip complete?
- a really good BIG, real world example showing multi-system (CRM-to-ECC-to-APO-to-SRM-to- etc) workflow and how the UWL makes it all much easier and fluid (in theory...haha)
That's just a few off the top of my head that seem to always be sooo much fun with the UWL.
Good luck on the book! Looking forward to it already!

Universal Worklist Configuration

Hey guys
Please can someone tell me where I can find a universal wordlist config guide for EP7.0?
Many thanks in advance
Jo-lize

Hi
This are the steps need to be followed.please do give full points
The Universal Worklist (UWL) gives users unified and centralized way to access their work and the relevant information in the Enterprise Portal. It collects tasks and notifications from multiple provider systems SAP Business Workflow, Collaboration Task, Alert Framework and Knowledge Management Recent Notifications - in one list for one-stop access.
Administration and configuration for the Universal Worklist (UWL) is described.
General Prerequisites
1.     As an administrator, you have full administration rights for the Portal and the required business workflow rights in back end system (reference roles such as SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_UWL_ADMIN and SAP_BC_UWL_ADMIN_USER). Refer to SAP note 941589.
Summary
Symptom
UWL administrative and/or end users are not allowed to perform or look up business workflow functions or data in the backend system.
Reason and Prerequisites
Corresponding adminsitrative and end users in the backend systems are created from scratch and have zero initial authorization.
These roles are provided as an option to enable UWL administrative and end user authorization to readily utitlize the APIs of the SAP Business Workflow and relevant basis components remotely.
(Note: Usually these roles are not needed as backend user is already assigned with roles that have sufficient authorization.)
Also refer to BWF note 938717 for the corresponding roles required by business workflow.
SAP_BC_UWL_ADMIN_USER
For UWL administrative user who mainly deals with business workflow system registration.
SAP_BC_UWL_END_USER
For UWL end user to carry out all business workflow actions currently supported in UWL.
Solution
The roles can only be imported with a support package

Summary
Symptom
This note delivers two roles (PFCG) with the authorizations required to display and edit Business Workflow work items in the universal worklist.
SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_UWL_ADMIN
This role has the workflow authorizations required to perform the configuration for the Business Workflow connection in the universal worklist. These are authorizations for Business Workflow interfaces on the back-end system. The role does not have any authorizations for the portal or other interfaces used by the universal worklist.
SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_UWL_END_USER
This role has all workflow authorizations required by end users to be able to edit Business Workflow work items with the universal worklist. The role does not have any authorizations for the portal or other interfaces used by the universal worklist.
You can either use the two roles directly or as templates for your own roles.
Note 941589 contains more information about roles with authorizations for the universal worklist.

Related Notes
941589 - UWL: administrative and end user roles
Attributes
1.     Make sure that each user is known to all connected SAP systems as per role requirement (make sure that there is one-to-one mapping between the portal user and the backend user)
If an iView is based on a system object defined in your system landscape, you must assign user permission for the relevant user, group, or role to the system object, as well. User permissions assigned to a system permits the iView to retrieve data from the respective back end application through the system object at runtime.
2.      Each connected SAP system for back end system (below release 7.0, WP-PI plug-in 6.0) has the connection to its respective SAP Internet Transaction Server (ITS)
Authorizations needed for working with Business Workflow
Normally, when the corresponding back end system user already has the correct authorization to work on the Business Workflow directly, no additional setup is required when working in UWL. However, manual configuration to assign RFC access authorization to the following function groups may be needed (Note: this is not common):
1.     ●      Function group and transaction SWK1 (for back end systems using WP-PI plug-in)
2.     ●      Function group SWN_UWL_WL (for back end system on release 6.40 and above, without the need of WP-PI plug-in)
3.     ●      Function group SWRC, SSCV (for all cases)
4.     ●      Authorization rights for SDTX
User Mapping:
1.      Navigate to User Administration ®identity Managementà User Mapping.
       2.      There are three scenarios:
○     Portal user ID is different than the back end SAP user ID and back end SAP user IDs are different in all back end SAP systems connected to the portal (UIDPW)
1.      Maintain the user mapping for each portal user corresponding to all the respective back end systems
2.      Portal user ID is different than the back end SAP user ID and backend SAP user ids are the same in all back end SAP systems connected to the portal (logon ticket)
Maintain the user mapping for each portal user to the reference system
3.     Portal user ID is the same as the back end SAP user and back end SAP user IDs are the same in all back end SAP systems connected to the portal (logon ticket)
1.       No user mapping is necessary
User Permissions
According to the prerequisites, if an iView is based on a system object defined in your system landscape, you must assign user permission for the relevant user, group, or role to the system object, as well.
User permissions assigned to a system permits the iView to retrieve data from the respective back end application through the system object at runtime.
     Procedure
       1.      Navigate to System Administration ® System Configuration ® Portal Content. Open the folder where the existing systems were created.
       2.      From the available system list, click with the secondary mouse button on the system name and choose Open ® Permissions.
       3.      Assign permissions. Make sure that under the Administrator column you assign Read permissions for the assigned role (for example for role eu_role). Also mark the check box End User.
       4.      Choose Save.
     Registering the Provider Systems
Each UWL iView can retrieve work items from multiple Business Workflow back end systems. Register each back-end connection to be used with the following procedure:
On the port...
       1.      On the portal, choose System Administration ® System Configuration ® Universal Worklist and Workflow ® Universal Worklist Administration.
The Universal Worklist Systems list appears. Here you can define connectors and systems as item providers for the Universal Worklist.
       2.      To add a new entry, choose New. To edit existing information, select (highlight) the row and choose Edit.
       3.      To save the current system registration, choose Ok.
       4.      Multiple system connections are defined by repeating the above steps 1 to 3.
Table describing the parameters
Parameter     Description and Use
Connector     This is the identifier with which the connector is registered. It indicates the type of items retrieved through the connection. For example: WebFlowConnector.For connector types WebFlowConnector or Alert Connector item types have to be registered with the UWL service after defining a new system connection.
Configuration Groups     Leave this blank, when working with the default UWL iView. You can add a number of configuration groups separated by commas but only one configuration group per iView. first installed, one UWL iView is defined. The System Configuration Group property for that iView is empty (blank). This means that no System Configuration Group is named, but in effect there is only a single group. The default behavior for the blank setting is this: when any user logs onto the UWL iView, UWL tries to log that user onto all registered back end systems. There is a limitation with the blank setting. When a large number of systems are accessed during log on, the overall portal load is increased. Also, the user receives error messages from those back end systems that have no user account for the particular UWL user. For large system landscapes do the following:...       1.      Partition back end systems into groups. This is accomplished by creating additional UWL iView instances, each of which refers to a specific group of backend systems. The group is defined, using the System Configuration Group iView property.       2.      Then use the value of the System Configuration Group property when registering back end systems by placing it in parameter Configuration Group, when you register the SAP system.
System alias     The name of the alias for the back end system, as defined in the system landscape. The length cannot exceed 25 characters.If Web Dynpro applications are configured on a SAP NetWeaver Application Server which is different from the SAP NetWeaver Application Server of the system alias, then specify that system alias as a Web Dynpro system
Web Dynpro Launch System     Enter the Web Dynpro system name if the SAP NetWeaver Application Server for the system is not the same as that running the Web Dynpro.Leave empty otherwise
User Roles     Restricts who can get work items via the user role. For example, you can assign a portal role here, such as buyer. Only users with the role buyer will see items from the provider system in UWL.You can have multiple user roles separated by semi-colon. By specifying user roles for the portal users, it can be restricted as to who gets the work items in UWL. For example, you can assign a portal role to a user, such as buyer. Only users with the role buyer will see items from a system, for example, B7QCLNT000 in UWL.
Pull Channel Delta Refresh Period (in Seconds)     Delta Pull mechanism of UWL enables new items to be fetched from the back end SAP systems every minute by default every 60 seconds, and every 30 seconds for alerts. However, this can be configured. The user does not need to use the refresh function to update the inbox. Once items are retrieved, timestamps are updated for the users whose items are successfully retrieved. These retrieved items are updated in the UWL cache. Setup necessary from Business Workflow to enable Delta Pull MechanismSome configuration settings are required if you use the UWL and the Extended Notifications for SAP Business Workflow. Define the following two batch jobs:...●      Background job (for example UWL_DELTA_PULL_1), consisting of a single step of ABAP report RSWNUWLSEL in FULL mode, using a report variant.Run the job once a day.1.     ●      A background job (for example UWL_DELTA_PULL_2), consisting of a single step of ABAP report RSWNUWLSEL in DELTA mode (default mode is delta, so report variant is optional).Run the job every one to three minutes (depending on the performance of the back end SAP system).Setup necessary from UWL to enable Delta Pull Mechanism The UWL service user in portal, with user id uwl_service, has to be granted access to the corresponding back end systems. This is a predefined service user provided by UWL. When the back end system is configured in the UWL administration page, an automated process is triggered to create a corresponding UWL service user in the back end system.Check role assignments and profiles status of this automated generated UWL service user and perform user comparison if necessary.●      If SAPLogon ticket is used (without using user mapping), you first create the system entry. A message about uwl_service user appears. Then in the back-end system give the uwl_service user an initial password. Now edit the system entry.●      If user mapping is used, you can first configure the back end system in the UWL administration page. Then access the respective back end system to initialize the password for the user uwl_service. Then, do user mapping in the portal as usual for service user uwl_service.In case uwl_service fails to be created in the back end and does not exist, you can manually create a back end user with the id uwl_service and assign the role SAP_BC_UWL_SERVICE and the rights as other end users.ORMap uwl_service to an existing back end user. Make sure that there is no multiple user mapping (there must not be two portal users mapped to the same back end user). This back end user must have the role SAP_BC_UWL_SERVICE.
Snapshot Refresh Period (in minutes)     All items at the current time are fetched from the backend (for example from the SAP Business Workflow). The cache is synchronized thereafter. New / modified / deleted / updated items are fetched every session (every log on) if you leave the field value empty or enter a negative number.To specify a particular time frame for which the refresh occurs, enter the number of minutes
The above registration procedure is usually sufficient to use a UWL iView. Item type retrieval and registration requires a connection to the systems and may take a couple of minutes.
For each system, they are generated as the configuration named uwl.webflow..
In Manager Self-Service (MSS), the Universal Worklist groups together in Workset: Work
Overview the various workflow tasks and alerts that are relevant for a manager.
The standard MSS delivery includes the configuration file com.sap.pct.erp.mss.001.xml for the universal worklist.
1. In the portal, choose System Administration →System Configuration →Universal
Worklist and Workflow →Universal Worklist →UWL Systems Configuration.
2. Create the following system connections:
If you have already registered a suitable connector to the system connected to
the system alias, the existing connector is sufficient and you do not have to
register an additional one.
○ System alias: SAP_ECC_Financials
Connection types:
■ WebFlowConnector
■ AlertConnector
○ System alias: SAP_ECC_HumanResources
Connection type WebFlowConnector
○ System alias: SAP_SRM
Connection type WebFlowConnector
Leave the Web Dynpro Launch System field blank for all system connections.

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

Universal Worklist items open in new window instead of existing frame

After our recent upgrade we noticed that workitems in Universal Worklist open in new window instead of existing frame. Do you know if there is a system or universal setting to make all the workitems open in existing frame? I know we can change the settings for parameters launchInNewWindow and openInNewWindow to "no" in XML files to fix this.   However, my concern is that I would need to do this for each and every task we use. (still doable but wondering if there is simpler solution)
Example:
    <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS12300097.SAP_R3_CUSTOM_DEV" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="default">
      <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_R3_CUSTOM_DEV" 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="sap.com/ess~lea"/>
            <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
            <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
            <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default=""/>
        </Action>
      </Actions>
    </ItemType>

We downloaded uwl.standard.xml from UWL admin. Made a copy and renamed file. Changed all "launchInNewWindow" from "yes" to "no". Uploaded new file in UWL admin. Re-registered systems, cleared cache. Not sure what exact line changed the behavior but the workitems no longer open in new window.
We are still experimenting with file in our sandbox environment.

Custom ItemTypes in Universal Worklist

Hi Comunity,
I have created two views in the Universal Worklist configuration that work just fine. Now I want to have certain items to only show up in one of those views. Therefore I have set the supported itemtypes parameter to the itemtype I want to show up in this view. Unfortunatelly the item type is none of the standard types. I have added one level of hirarchy by adding staff to the standard uwl.task.webflow item type. I have also tried to add an item type uw.task.webflow.staff into the file but this does not work either, there is no item showing up in my UWL.
Please have a look at the xml, I have inserted some snippets.
Any hint is welcome.
Regards Nicolas
Edited by: Nicolas Löwe on Oct 8, 2009 11:59 AM

Hi I found the solution myself.
I have done the configuration correctly. But the new Item Types do only appear when there are no other items in the cache.
Cheers Nicolas

Cannot open GP process task in universal worklist.

Hi all,
    I cannot open GP process task in universal worklist.It says:"Could not retrieve process instance: contact your system administrator".But i can open the task in Runtime task.
i configure the universal worklist by following this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/ef06a7860c7061e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
I also create a simple GuidedProceduresConnector and doesn't change the xml file,but it doesn't work,either.
our portal is SP11.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you~!
Best regards
delma

Hello Delma,
Check out SAP note 1104652.    It discusses some changes for the uwl configuration file.   I just did this on a local installation of CE and used the following XML for my GP actions. I just uploaded a paper on this - it should be on SDN within a couple of days and I can get you the link.
The trick is that the name of your GP alias in UWL administration must be included in the XML. The note explains this and there is an example to download. Also, in my example the iView for the portal content to start the GP had to be changed - but that could be due to my local installation.
Check out this note and this XML and let me know if it helps.
Best regards
Ginger

Customizing of Universal Worklist (UWL) Preview

Hello,
i have to customize the UWL preview, that is shown in the portal for every work item below the list view.
The customization shall be done only for the current project, so there are only a few worksteps involved that should use the customized preview.
I already read the UWV configuration documentation, but i hav absolutely no clue how i can do the customization if it is possible at all.
What i have to achieve:
- remove Buttons from the workitem preview (e.g. forward)
- remove attributes from the workitem preview (e.g. priority)
- the configuration shall only be done for specific work items because other projects want to see the preview.
Can you please help or point me to some documentation/ guide?

Business Workflow, CATS and Universal Worklist

Hi,
I've been searching the forums for answers, but haven't found any.. So here's a question.
We are going to implement worklow for approving time. We are using MSS/ESS, and the approval will occur in the universal worklist.
As far as we can see, we have to do the following settings (and please correct me if I'm wrong):
1) Add a workflow <b>standardtask</b> in the transaction CAC1.
Question to number 1)
- Is it correct that this has to be a standardtask? Multisteptask are not allowed?
- Is it correct that the standardtask has to be executed in the front (and not as a background task)?
2) Add the step in transaction SWFVISU
We have to make a two-step approval scenario (first approver is 2 people in the personelladministration department. The second approver is the line manager for the employee). As far as I can se there's no standard solution for this. And we are trying to figure out how to solve this. One scenario we though about was to execute a multisteptask <i>from</i> the standardtask in CAC1. But if the standardtask in CAC1 has to be executed in the front, we can't trigger a multisteptask in the background as we thought. So now we don't know how to trigger the next step in the flow after the first approval step.
anyone that has done this?

Hi Gene,
basically you have to create a UWL system. UWL systems are different from normal system objects in SAP NetWeaver Portal. Normal system objects are used to establish a connection to backend system that can be used by many iViews etc. UWL systems are based on normal system objects (you actually have to specify a system alias when creating a UWL systems). You use UWL systems to bind a UWL connector to a system object.
Find detailed information on the UWL configuration in the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a3461636-0301-0010-3787-978f5ac8bd45">UWL How to guide.</a>There you will find step-by-step instruction how to integrate SAP Business Workflow into the UWL.

Martin

Java Web DynPro and Universal Worklist Interaction

HI ESS/MSS Gurus,
Good day!
I am a workflow consultant who is working on an ESS/MSS project. I have already completed and tested (successfully) all of the workflows needed in the backend using the PTARQ and PTCOR applications. We are also successful in showing the work items in the universal worklist.
Now the question is, whenever we click on the work item, we encounter an error in the portal. Now, I need to determine the following:
1. How are we going to integrate the ESS/MSS portal with the execution of the work item in the universal worklist?
2. Do we need to develop custom Java web dynpro applications for the approval process of the leaves, or is there a standard offering from the ESS/MSS packages?
Your inputs are very much welcome.
Regards,

Hi Gurus,
Here is what we have done so far:
1. Implemented the details as indicated in note 779075 and changed the parameters defined in SWFVISU
2. Upon re-registering and clearing the cache from the UWL, we tested if the task will call the standard application for leave request approval. It returns the error Internal error. :
Item is null for action acknowledge, and for item type uwl
It seems that the xmls files are not being generated or read successfully. although when we check uwl.webflow.SAP_ECC_HumanResources, there is an updated xml file for the task
Questions are:
1. What checks do we need to execute between the back end, UWL and portal?
2. Whenever changes in SWFVISU are made, what items do we need to check to ensure that the changes are reflected in the UWL? I have read that SWFVISU helps the user do away with the tedious xml creation. How can we verify that the changes are implemented/updated in the xmls generated?
3. Any other items we need to look into?
Regards,

Context menu in the Universal Worklist

Hello all,
I'm migrating from Portal 7.0 to 7.3, and right now, I'm trying to migrate the UWL configuration.
I created the Universal Worklist Systems, I uploaded all the .xml configurations, I re-registered the system, I configurated the UWL iView... everything was done like in the Portal 7.0... BUT it doesn't works like before. I'm having problems with the "context menu" of each workitem.
In Portal 7.0, when all the "List of UWL Actions to exclude" are typed, the context menu of each workitem dissapears, and I can do a "click" over the workitem and a webdynpro app. is launched.
In Portal 7.3, when all the "List of UWL Actions to exclude" are typed, the context menu of the selected row dissapears, but still remains in the other unselected lines; and the most important thing, when a workitem row is selected, I can't do a "click" over it, it doesn't do anything... If I leave "launchWenDynPro" value into "List of UWL Actions to exclude", I can do a "click" over the workitems, and the webdynpro app. is launched, but the context menu appears...
How can I do to make dissapear the context menu?
I read the following link, but my Portal 7.3 doesn't works like this...

Hi Miguel,
Thanks for your post. It would be great if you can let me know the complete version of the UWLJWF component from NWA. To get this please do the following:
To get this, please do the following:
Open NWA -> Configuration management -> System info ->
press Components info tab, and for software components
Search for UWLJWF and you will find the component information. Could you please post it here? Is it possible that you can provide a link to some screenshots of what you are seeing as well?
Along with this, have you checked the standard iview from the PCD - if so is this giving the same result?

Hello experts,
I had configurated the UWL as follow steps:

    SAP_CRM
3. Define exact settings for technical connections:
    Has been difined.
4. Define how users are mapped:(not difined, we used sso with ticket, and the
    user name of all SAP system is same )
5.Test system connections:
   HTTP/HTTPS failed.But the SSO is working fine .
6. Add the new system to UWL configuration
    succssful.
7.Register work item types

At the same time , the sso user XC03,XC04 both had the roles SAP_BC_UWL_SERVICE,SAP_BC_UWL_END_USER,SAP_BC_UWL_ADMIN_USER in CRM.
But there is no items in "task" tab of Universal Worklist iview of Portal user XC03, there are more than 10 items of CRM user XC03 in workplace inbox in CRM.

Hi Karri,
could you please give me a link towards the Universal Worklist forum? I could not find it.
By EDIT I mean the editItem action. (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/4a/f09ebd4a5a6d62e10000000a42189c/frameset.htm)
I tried to only configure the iView by the excludeActions property but I had the same problem, that the 1st iView acted according to the configuration, but the 2nd not.
In the Detail View, the editItem action can be found in the section "You can also" -> "Edit Task". When I click it, a popup appears where I can edit the task.

Milena
