Universal Worklist Refresh Problem

Hi All,
I got a Problem with the Workitem not showing up in the universal worklist. The workitem appears in the backend but its not created in UWL. However it is created when configuration object is delted and uploaded again. But it is not refreshed automatically.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ,
Rakesh.

Hi Rakesh.
Go to System Administration --> System Configuration --> Universal Worklist & Workflow --> Universal Worklist - Administration
1) Select you System Alias and click in Re-Register.
2) Click in link Cache Administration Page, Select your system and click in Clear Cache.
Good Luck

  • Universal Worklist refresh delay - Reduce default time

    Hi
    We would like to reduce the Universal Worklist refresh from the current default of 5 minutes to 1 or 2 minutes.
    The items should appear immediately being avaialble in the SAP R/3 System.
    Any ideas on how to achieve this in the Portal (EP 7 SP17)?
    Regards
    Chandu

    Hi Chandu,
    I think it may not be possible but you can implement delta pull mechanism where you can update uwl for lessthan 1minuite also
    have a look

  • Can the universal worklist refresh automatically?

    When I open our universal worklist iview (EP 6), I need to click on refresh to get the most recent task list.  Is there a way to force a refresh every time the UWL iview is opened?
    Thank you.
    Jeff

    Hi all,
    We faced simular problems. The UWL iview does not auto refresh at startup, only if you press the refresh button itself. Our problem was of course if someone approved an item an returned from the BXP to the iview he still saw the old item. The workaround is nifty an we got some SDN help as well. Thanks again Thorsten Bingmann! The clue is to make a hidden iview on the UWL iviews page. When you start the page or return to this page the hidden iview triggers the refresh button event. One remarkt though. In our BSP for approval we had to build in a 2 second delay at the end. If you approve an item it takes a second so if you return to the UWL page to fast the refresh comes to early.
    I can provide the code for the iview if needed.
    Deploy as par to portal an create an iview based on this par.
    Enable EPCF Level to 1. Hide tray, heading and all other visible iview controls. Place UWL iview on top of page and hidden-refresh-iview to bottom of page to avoid ugly additional space on top of page. You will see solution working if after <waitduration-param> seconds mouse-cursor show working symbol and UWL will be refreshed.
    Hope this helps

  • Force universal worklist refresh when iView is opened

    Hi Experts,
    users are complaining because when they open the universal worklist iview, it still shows old work items, and sometimes they click on them by mistake raising some error message.
    Although I tried cleaning the cache, setting the cache validity to 1 minute we are not getting the expected results.
    What I would like to achieve is that when a user opens the uwl iview it remains "blocked"(not allowing the user to click on any task) until it is completely refreshed and al the work items are valid.
    any suggestions?
    We are using EP7.0 SP17.
    Best regards,
    Marco Ustarroz.

  • Universal Worklist Configuration Problem

    Hi,
      We are running on EP60 SP2 and we have installed the Workflow component "universal worklist". I see the Universal worklist tab, and when i click it i see
    "Unable to perform the request. Please try again. If the problem persists, please inform your system administrator."
      I understand that this is the configuration of Portal runtime component
    "com.sap.portal.runtime.config.component.ConfigUI"
    When i open this iview i see only one configuration
    -->Folders
    >Portal Application Configuration
      I don't see the Universal Worklist configuration under Folders as per the document.Which is used to configure the UWL component with SAP systems.
      Can somebody tell what is the problem?
    Thank you

    Hi Arun,
    did you upgrade to patch 27 (EP&KM) before? If yes, did you upgrade to Hotfix 1?
    If the first answer is yes and the second is no, then this is the reason.
    See note 792995 - Major problems fixed with this Patch 27 Hotfix 1: [...] Config : After upgrading to Portal SP2 Patch 27 the configuration iView did not work.
    Hope it helps

  • How to call / execute BPM process out of portal (Universal Worklist)

    Hi,
    at the moment I try to get fimilar in working with bpm processes. In this regard, I try to execute a process outside the portal.
    I always have to login at the portal, go to the Universal Worklist, refresh the list and execute the previously started process. But in future that would NOT be the prefered way for the user.
    May anybody help me?
    Thank you.

    Hi Martin,
    what do you mean exactly? Do you want to start the workflow without using the portal or do you want to start the different human activities outside the portal?
    If you mean the first one, you can use a webservice to start the process (see Re: Starting a flow through a web service). As such you can start the process from pretty much everything with webaccess.
    For the second one I dont have an answer... You can probably use a different application and check if there are any new tasks via webservice... but thats just a guess

  • Workitem in universal worklist not refreshed after processing the workitem

    Hi,
    We are using EP 7.0, we are having a problem in refreshing workitem in universal worklist.  When a workitem in universal worklist is clicked a ABAP webdynpro application is opened in new window, this window has approve and reject button. Clicking on the approve or reject button completes the business process and workitem should be removed from the UWL. But in our case the workitem is still shown in the UWL and the user can again click on the same workitem and open.
    Has anyone has encountered this problem? Could someone let me know how to resolve this issue.
    Thanks & Regards,
    H.K.Hayath Basha.

    Hi,
    Just check the status of the workitem whether its approved or rejected  before opening the application. If its already approved
    or rejected dont open the application.We also faced the similar problem and avoid opening the work item instead of refreshing
    uwl.
    Because by configuration it is possible to reduce till one minute and frequent refresh of uwl will result in poor performance.
    You can give a try with writing code to refresh uwl once the workitem got approved or rejected.

    Try using clear cache.

    Do you have any ideas? Thanks!!

    Hi All
    I still have same problem. We are on SP14, EP6. My id is in admistrave group
    It looks strange, There is no Universal Worklist & Workflow menu under detail navigation bar.
    I don't see Universal worklist & workflow menu under the the following ..System Administration -> System Configuration
    I can  see the following in System admin-->System config ..system landscape, System landscape overview, keystore admin, UM config, service config, KNowlegement management(content management, collaboration, index admin)....strange ...Universal worklist & workflow menu missing.
    As suggested above, i also refreshed the UWL service via System Administration -> Support -> Portal Runtime.
    Click on Application Console under "Portal Anywhere" Admin Tools. Select com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl and click on show. Refresh and restart the services.
    It looks like Knolwdge management component is installed as i see the the memnu for knowlege management. Under
    System Administration -> System Configuration ...There is Knowledge Management side menu where i can see Universal worklist ( THere are CM, Collaboration,Index admin, Portal app, WF also listed)
    But still Universal Worklist & Workflow menu does not appear.
    Any suggestions. Thanks again.

    HI,
       Add eu_role to the user. The home workset will be added to the user. Under home->work you will find the UWL iview.
    or
    You can find the UWL iview in Portal content -> content provided by SAP-> End user content -> Standard portal users -> iviews -> com.sap.coll.iviews

  • PO Approval Items Workitems are not removed from the Universal Worklist UWL

    Hi,
    Certain of our purchase orders require approval, they are sent to the relevant approver via workflow to their SAP inbox (SBWP) and universal worklist.
    When the user executes the workitem (Approve or Reject) The workitem should be removed from the universal worklist and SBWP when refreshed.
    The problem we experiencing is that the Workitems are not removed from the UWL after they have been executed. The SBWP is behaving correctly and the items are removed.
    It is not all the workitems that have this problem, only certain ones - but there is no pattern.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hi,
    The user B approved the PR accessing the transaction SBWP or via PR transaction directly?
    If via PR transaction directly, then your workflow needs a Wait Event step.

  • UWL refresh problem for ABAP BOR custom attributes

    Hi all,
    we are facing an issue with an UWL iView. We wanted to display custom attributes from an ABAP Business Object (ABAP_BOR).
    The feature is working but when an end-user receives a new task in his UWL view, he needs to click on the refresh button in order to have all the custom attributes correctly displayed.
    We have only the problem with custom attributes, for the columns containing standard workflow decision task attributes, the data are displayed directly without the need to push the refresh button.
    We are on EP 7 SPS11 and the back-end is an ECC6 version.
    We have followed the methodology described in the How to configure and customize the Universal Worklist pdf document:
    ABAP BOR
    <CustomAttributeSource id="ABAP_BOR"
    objectIdHolder="externalObjectId"
    objectType="FORMABSENC"
    cacheValidity="final">
    <Attribute name="COSTCENTER" type="string"
    displayName="Cost Center"></Attribute>
    <Attribute name="FIRSTDAYOFABSENCE" type="date"
    displayName="First day of absence"></Attribute>
    <Attribute name="LASTDAYOFABSENCE" type="date"
    displayName="Last day of absence"></Attribute>
    </CustomAttributeSource>
    Do you have an idea where this problem come from and how it could be solved?
    Thanks in advance and regards,
    Sébastien BODSON

    Hi Chintan,
    This parameter has no impact on the problem we face. I found an exact description of our problem on SAP Help portal, in the UWL pages:
    CustomAttributes, CustomAttributeSource and Attribute
    Extract from SAP Help portal:
    Every item type can have custom attributes defined, which can be filled from Business Object or Provider Data Containers like the Business Workflow Container or the Alert Container. These attribute sources are defined within the CustomAttributeSourcetag, which contains information on which attribute connector brings the custom attributes, how to identify these custom attributes in the provider system and how long the cache is valid.
    Note that once an item arrives, these custom attributes are retrieved in additional calls to the backend. For performance reasons, in order to minimize responses times to the end user, this may happen while the item is displayed to the end user - causing such attributes to be empty initially and only to appear in subsequent requests.
    The display names of the attributes for column headers and labels are defined in the display attributes of the default view of the item type.
    Does anyone know a workaround in order to have directly the complete information displayed?

  • Universal Worklist Error

    I am receiving the following error when I try to forward a task through the Universal Worklist:
    This item is no longer valid. Select another item or refresh the item list view.
      Error Detail: Tue Aug 16 15:02:50 EDT 2005 (Item) Item is missing from the UWL persistent cache   
    I select the "Forward" button and then select a user from the dropdown list.  When I select "Submit" I receive this error.
    Does anyone have any experience working with the Universal Worklist and have encountered this issue?
    Please advise.
    Thanks.
    Jason

    we have a similar problem to this one. We have a user who is receiving the error message "Item is missing from UWL persistent cache". It seems that the old messages are displayed in the inbox initially until a refresh is automatically performed a few seconds later and it is not until this point that the current messages are displayed.
    Any ideas ? Thanks.
