Univeral Worklis - XML Content Configuration for workflow tasks

I work in an HR and SAP Portal project in Stockholm, Sweden. We have now activated the course booking functionality in the "Training and Event" module. The basic functionality is that course bookings etc. should be approved by managers using workflows. Therefore must be the Universal worklist be configured. I have also read the guide "How ToConfigure the Univeral Worklist" but I still need some guidance on how to do that.
These workflows are used in the process:
·     WS01200147 (Employee Attendance Cancellation)
·     WS01200151 (Approve Employee's Attendance Booking)
·     WS01200160 (Approve Employee's Rebooking)
I should appreciate if you could help me to create a correct XML-file to include above workflows/tasks in the universal worklist.
Best regards,
Jan Wodlin

The have used the following documentation to configure my UWL.

SP 2013 Workflow Associations - get the content type for associated tasks with PowerShell

I am creating a PowerShell script to document SharePoint 2013 workflow associations on a site. I can get the Subscription object for the workflow association, but I can't figure out how to dig into it to find out the Content Type for tasks generated
by workflows created by this WF association. I can get the Task List ID from the Subscription.PropertyDefinitions, and from there can get the Task List. But the task list may use many different content types, because when you associate a 2013 workflow
to a list, SharePoint adds the workflow's content type to the set of content types used by the workflow task list. If you have a lot of workflows that use the same task list, that task list gets a lot of content types.
I have the Subscription object for the workflow association. How can I divine the content type for tasks that the workflow will generate?
Leigh Webber

I would suggest you to consider using the SPListItem that running the workflow instance to check the task content type.
First, find the list item that associated with the workflow, then SPListItem.Tasks returns a collection of workflow tasks for the item, you can check the content type from the task item.

XML UWL Configuration for custom structure in container

Dear UWL experts,
We are adding a structure type: ZPRC_UWL_CUSTOM with 10 fields to a Workflow Task container and call it V_UWL_CUSTOM
Inside the structure, there are several fields called, for example:
V_OBJECT
V_SUBJECT
V_AUTHOR
We have trying hard, but we cannot find a way to make reference to the V_OBJECT, V_SUBJECT and V_AUTHOR fields from the UWL XML.
We tried things like:
<CustomAttributeSource id="WEBFLOW_CONTAINER" objectIdHolder="externalId" objectType="WebflowContainer" cacheValidity="final">
<Attribute name="V_UWL_CUSTOM" type="string" displayName="V_UWL_CUSTOM"/>
</CustomAttributeSource>
<CustomAttributeSource id="ABAP_BOR" objectIdHolder="V_UWL_CUSTOM" objectType="ZPRC_UWL_CUSTOM" cacheValidity="final">
<Attribute name="V_OBJECT" type="string" displayName="Object Name"/>
</CustomAttributeSource>
Could you please help us here?
Thanks and kind regards,
Sergio Martinez

Hi,
I only can assume how things are in your system, but I hope that you have a container element V_UWL_CUSTOM in your workflow container. Then you are binding it to the task container V_UWL_CUSTOM, right?
If the above is correct, then you need to create individual elements in your task container:
V_OBJECT
V_SUBJECT
V_AUTHOR, etc.
Do binding from workflow container to the task container:
V_UWL_CUSTOM.V_OBJECT -> V_OBJECT
V_UWL_CUSTOM.V_SUBJECT -> V_SUBJECT
V_UWL_CUSTOM.V_AUTHOR -> V_AUTHOR
Etc.
If you cannot do the binding from workflow container (=you don't have the element in WF container because of some strange reason), then things get a bit more interesting...

Sharepoint 2013 Custom Workflow - Email link to EditForm.aspx for Workflow Task

I have created a custom workflow which starts a task with one or two users once a form is submitted. These users receive an email with a link to the task that has been created. The problem is it doesn't open the edit form for the task it just
links to the displaypage.asp for the task. This is causing all sorts of confusion so I just wanted to change the link to the edit form instead.
It seems simple enough but I just cant find a way to do it?! I am a beginner in this stuff so I have no visual studio experience and have designed all this using SPD 2013.
Is there an easy way around this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit option not enabled for workflow content from within Content Presenter in Webcenter Spaces

I have a webcenter spaces portal page with a content presenter displaying a html page using the default out of the box template. The html page is located in webcenter content / UCM under a folder on which the " All Reviewer" seeded workflow is enabled. The issue i am seeing is when the file is in workflow the edit option is not being enabled even though the reviewer should be able to edit/approve the content in this step. The other functions like workflow approve or reject and switching between workflow version and published version are all enabled. Also when rejected the content does not show edit option from the content presenter (cntrl-C option) for the original author to make any updates.
What would need to be done to enable editing from within the content presenter for workflow content?
Thanks for your help

Hi Sreedhar
We are using WCP 11.1.1.8.5
To recreate the issue
1) Login to WCC Portal: Spaces as admin user , create a New Page under a webcenter spaces portal
2) Under the space , Pages Section , select the page and click edit
3) In Design mode , choose Content Management and Add Document Explorer and Add Content Presenter on the page
4) The Document Explorer will default to the Current Space/portal directory under MyWebcenterSpaces in UCM
5) Create a directory "content" under the Portal space using the document explorer.
6) Right Click on Content folder and choose details. In Details view , go to File->workflow settings and pick a seeded workflow -> MyWCSAllReviewer. Add a user as workflow approver
7) After workflow is enabled on this folder upload a basic html page with simple text into this folder
8) Now in the design mode choose edit in the content presenter and select the "single content view" with default template to display an Image or HTML. Click browse and select the html that was added to workflow
9) Save the Page and view the portal. Workflow should now be enabled for any content changes to that html page.
10) Click Cntrl-shift-c in portal/space as an authenticated user with edit access to content and make an edit to content , this will trigger worklow . The author currently will see edit option get disabled once content enters workflow
11) Login as approver to the portal and cntrl-shift-C to the portal and workflow options(approve and reject) are enabled but the edit option is not. If you reject content , the author should be able to edit content in the content presenter mode, this also is not available. The issue is the content is now no longer available for editing from wthin content presenter if it is in workflow to either the approver or the original author depending on workflow step. If you check the same content under the document explorer the option to edit is enabled. Is this a bug /issue with content Presenter or some option needs enabled?

Workflow task in UWL

Hi there,
I am trying to configure a workflow task so that it can be launched from the UWL as an ABAP Web Dynpro. I have enhanced the service notification business object BUS2080 so that a workflow is triggered on status change. Administrators are notified of this change
The work item is sent to several administrators, and is appearing in the UWL correctly. I have configured the table SWFVISU for the task as an ABAP web dynpro with parameters:
APPLICATION QIMT_NOTIFICATION_APP
NAMESPACE SAP
in order to launch the standard notification web dynpro from the work item. However, even after clearing the cache and re-registering the items list in the portal the XML is not being generated. The examples I have seen use the Decision step type to launch ABAP dynpro, however the task I am using is Activity step type. Is this the problem ?

      <Actions>
        <Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction="" handler="SAPWebDynproABAPLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="WebDynproApplication" value="zwda_hr_emp_wiwt_movmnt_revert "/>
            <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="WebDynproNamespace" value="sap"/>
            <Property name="System" value="SAP_ECC"/>
            <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default=""/>
        </Action>
      </Actions>
In the Actions, for propertyhandler mention the value as SAPWebDynproABAPLauncher instead of UserDecisionHandler and in the back ground make sure that you complete the workitem by using SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE in case of simple activity step.

Configurations for Webflow.

Hi,
I'm new to webflow and trying to implement an ESS workflow.
I need to know the following.
1. How to send / retrieve values from workflow to UWL.
2. What tasks must be registered and how should I do it.
3. Some XML needs to be generated or configured for the tasks it seems...is that necessary, then
how to do that.
4. What is the sequence of steps that should be followed while doing this.
I knw that, UWL should be configured initially. I have a very good experience in R/3 workflows. Need the other part of configurations for the webflow.
Any documents, URL, hints is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How about searching? If you try you will find the documents you need right here on SDN.

'No Administrator found for the task' while releasing the task in AR31

Dear Gurus,
i am facing the issue 'No Administrator found for the task' while releasing the task in AR31 while doing Mass Asset change.
Please help to provide the solution.
Many thanks.
Kumar

Dear Kumar,
error 5W141 indicates that the configuration for workflow is not in place fully.
1. SWU3 => Automatic customizing
You find the customizing of the workflow under Basis -> Business
Management -> SAP Business Workflow. There you can check the minimum
customizing for workflow:
2, Please check in transaction OAWF if the responsible users are
    assigned to the workflow tasks
    Menu path: Basic Functions
                 Assign tasks to agent
                    Correct worklist
                    Release worklist
                    Correct and release worklist
3, In addition check if the users are assigned to the workflow-tasks      in the basis-component (transaction
     PFTC).
   Menu path: Task type: TS   - Standard task
       Task     : corresponding task (e.g.8010 - correct worklist
The relevant logic is: if the system finds that the agent or user is defined, it will go straight to T-code SO01. And the user can edit the work list there.

Stat machine workflow task workflow status different values on different state activity(Approval level)

i have developed the State machine workflow in which i am using default workflow task
i have added one status dropdown and that is having approve or reject that i set using workflow task drop down values
now my requirement is that when my workflow goes to different approval i need to have different status values in dropdown
for example
on manager approval state activity i need to add additional status value forward to legal
but when it moved to next activity this task status field should show only approve and reject
in summary i need to have different status values for workflow task when it moved to different state activity(approval levels)
can we set these status field of task for state machine workflow programtically as well like for different approval level of task i need different status to be set for the dropdown of task status field

Hi Shahid Siddique,
I have seen a similar thread from you about this issue, create custom form for the seperate form is a considerable workaround, you can have a check whether it works.

ABAP OOP method in Workflow task 6.20

Hello all!
In the following blog /people/jocelyn.dart/blog/2006/07/25/using-abap-oo-methods-in-workflow-tasks it is mentionned that to enable OOP methods for workflow tasks on 6.20 one needs to run report SWF_CATID.
I'm currently on a customer system 6.20 ABAP SP50 and this report simply does not exist. Is this report appearing in a later support pack or is this not available until 6.40 as I belived....
Any advise on how to enable this on an above system is highly appriciated!

Martin Jonsson

Hi,
Check this Report - RSWF_CATID.

Sticky HTTP Content Configuration

Hi All,
I am trying to implement a "Sticky HTTP Content Configuration" for a client. They requested all traffic to the URL path /hellomyworld/ to be loadbalanced via sticky sessions and all the other URLs to be loadbalanced via non sticky sessions. I believe I need use http content based stickiness to implement this. Could anybody please confirm? Also I would like to specify an offset to reduce the bytes the ACE needs to parse. How can I calculate this offset? Thanks.
Regards,
Nilesh

Think i figured it out myself via tcpdump and wireshark and then couting the bytes. Exciting and time consuming initially.

Need Help: Workflow Decision Task not visible in NWBC for customer Task

Hello All,
I am new to NWBC configuration , need ur expert knowledge for the below issue. I have checked the treat . Approve/Reject button for SRM Approval for RFx response ,but not able to get the exact steps for the configurations in NWBC.
Requirement.
     We are working on SLM/SRM module, where we have requirement to create a custom workflow with custom Task for which we have executed below actions.
Created the Custom Workflow.
Created the custom Task with custom ZCLASS and ZEVET.
Created   Event linkages in SWE2.
After doing this we are getting the workitem in the NWBC, currently we don’t have the Portal system in place, so we are using the NWBC for all our testing.
What is the issue?
     When we select the workitem in the NWBC (UML) inbox , the Decision Task ie “Approve” or “Reject” button are not visible , where as for SAP standard Task buttons are visible.
What help we need?
When we cross check the SCN/IBM portal, found that we need to do the XML file configurations. Can you any one kindly let us know the steps we need to follow to achieve our functionality.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Thanks and Regards
Channa

You need to share the details of what Inbox you are using, configuration steps depend on it. If you aren't using portal, you aren't using UWL and there is no UML inbox. You need to get your facts straight. Most likely you are using the Business Workflow Inbox (SWF_WORKPLACE) or the Lean Inbox (IBO_WDA_INBOX). Both are based on Web Dynpro ABAP and POWL but the configuration is different. Regardless, you posted this in the wrong space. Correct space is either SAP NetWeaver Business Client or Web Dynpro ABAP.

Related Item link is broken in DispForm.aspx for a task in Workflow Tasks list if file name contains " ' " (single quote)

Description:
We have created a custom workflow in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 and SharePoint 2013. This Workflow is associated with a Document library.
This Workflow starts as soon as any new item is created OR updated in Document library and creates a Task in Workflow Tasks list.
Related Item link is not working in following scenario -
Upload a file that contains “ ' “
in its name, in a document library
Navigate to Workflow Tasks list
Open View Item form (DispForm.aspx ) of Task Created by workflow then click on link in Related Item fields
OUPUT:
Related Item link truncates after “ ' “
Eg.
Original Link: http://<Site URL>/Documents/te'st.txt
Related Item Field: http://<Site URL>/Documents/te
Is this known bug in SharePoint 2013 OR any hotfix available to fix it.

Hi,
As I tested per your description, I can reproduce the issue as well.
From what I have found out, it seems SharePoint resolve single quote into different code in different place. During the test, if I set Task Name to Document Name, single quote will be resolved to ' , if I set some field to Document encoded URL, single
quote will be resolved to %27 . For now, I haven't found out any article talking about this issue.
As workaround, we may find out a way to change the Related Item field. However, it is OOB field in workflow task (SharePoint 2013) content type, and this content type cannot be modified in form.
I'd suggest you add new column to get document url and place in the form in Task content type settings.

Multiple "Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013)" content type found

Users on one specific sub-site reported that they are unable to add site columns to content type. When user clicks "add existing site column" user get error message - upon looking up on ULS, it indicate there were duplicate column "System.ArgumentException:
No two choices should have the same ID". I came across similar issue on different site before and resolved it by deleting duplicate column, plus that site column was not used on any list or associated with any content type but this time duplicate
column is "Task outcome" column which is associated with "Workflow Task(SharePoint2013)" content type. So looking up these two specific site column and content type I noticed there are 8 occurrence of each at affected site
level (see below on image).
Similarly there are 8 "Task Outcome" columns under Site Columns. So I refreshed staging env with prod copy and tried to delete "Workflow Task(SharePoint 2013" content type and got error message as shown below. Under Site features, I noticed
"SharePoint 2013 Task List" feature was enabled, hoping this will do the trick I disabled it as we still use SharePoint 2010 workflows, but to no avail.
Sorry, something went wrong
The content type "Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013)" is part of an application feature.
Not sure how it got started and something will try to find out but any advise on how to fix this issue?
Thanks,
MK Sin

Hi Sin,
According to your description, my understanding is that the users got an error when clicking “add existing site column”.
For deleting the duplicate “Task outcome”column, you need to go to the “Workflow Task(SharePoint 2013)” content type, click the “Task outcome” column, and remove it from the content type.
Then go to site columns, find the duplicate columns, and delete them and make sure only one “Task outcome” column exists.
After the above, re-add the “Task outcome” into the “Workflow Task(SharePoint 2013)” content type.

Wendy
