UWL - 3d party workitem provider

Dear All!

Ad%20hoc%20Workflow%20and%20UWL%20Nov%2021%202003%20-%20Slides.pdf
document at the 9th page is written that there is a possibility to integrate non-SAP system into EP UWL. Unfortunately, I have found no other information on this ability. How can I make EP to display 3d party workitems in the universal worklist?

Here is answer:

UWL connection is fine as workflow is getting trigered and i can see work item in manager's inbox. I have created a dedicated template system for UWL with Web AS as ECC host:port number and Web AS path as /sap/bc/bsp/sap.
And maintained other connector and ITS properties and all connection test successully passed.
As we have only one sever so while creating system using load balacing template, was not able to identify message server name which is to maintained in case load balancing system.
Please help me finding out where can be the issue.
Thanks,
Honey

When registering the system in UWL, specify a WebDynpro Launch System. That should resolve the issue.
WebDynpro Launch System -- create a system of type WAS and mention the WAS host name and WAS path.

AccessControlException with third party JCE provider

Hi,
I have a third party cryptographic provider that I must use.
I can't tell if the provider is failing to load or if actual operations are denied. All I do know is that everytime it tries to actually do anything it fails with (the class that subclasses Provider is called IAIK):
Caused by: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.security.SecurityPermission putProviderProperty.IAIK)
at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:270)
at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(AccessController.java:401)

at java.security.Provider.put(Provider.java:303)
at iaik.security.provider.IAIK.a(Unknown Source)
at iaik.security.provider.IAIK.<init>(Unknown Source)
It seems to me that the provider is trying to programmatically load and register itself. Obviously I have to grant permission to do this, but I don't know how, because I don't know exactly what its trying to do.
I did find something in the JDK docs mentioning doing something like this to the server.policy:
grant codeBase "file:C:/Sun/AppServer7/domains/domain1/server1/lib/*" {
permission java.security.SecurityPermission "putProviderProperty.IAIK"
But this not only doesn't work, I also need to understand it.
I've tried using it as a standard extension and it still doesn't work.
Would appreciate any pointers here
Thanks

Hi ,
I am using SUN ONE application server and I have a third party cryptographic provider that I must use(BouncyCastleProvide). I've modified server.policy, java.policy files but nothing helped.
// These permissions apply to the RD application
grant codeBase "file:C:/Sun/AppServer7/domains/domain1/server1/lib/*" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
Please help.

Can you specify third party JMS Provider in Weblogic appserver configuration

          Can you specify third party JMS Provider in Weblogic appserver configuration ???
          Only place i know of is that you can specify third party JMS Provider in MDB configuraion.
          DOES Weblogic has some kind of configuration files where you specify JMS Provider
          info (Like you can do that in JBOSS)


You can also specify a third-party JMS provider using the Messaging Bridge,
          which transfers messages from one queue or topic to another.
          And in general, inside WLS you can use any JMS provider you wish anywhere
          that you can also use WLS JMS. In an upcoming release, there will also be
          some support to make foreign JMS providers a little easier to configure.
          But why would you want to use another JMS provider anyway? ;-)

Using Swiftmq as the third-party Jms provider in Weblogic11

Hi, I am using swiftmq as 3rd-party jms provider in wls, however when I am trying to deploy a MDB listening on the queue configed in swiftmq.rar (resource adapter) in wls, it warns that ***MDB is unable to connect to the JMS destination: myforeigndestination.
The Error was:
weblogic.jms.common.InvalidDestinationException: Foreign destination
, so do I need to configure a foreign connection factory and config the mdb to refers to this foreign connection factory? thx

Third-party push provider server

Hi there!
Does anyone know a good third-party push provider server?
I'm going to implement custom (with text) push notifications for my DPS applications.
Currently I have short list of push providers
urbanairship.com
parse.com
flurry.com
http://www.pushwoosh.com/programming-push-notification/
http://quickblox.com/developers/SimpleSample-messages_users-ios
Please help if you already have experience of implementing custom push notifications.
Thank you!
Topic:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/dps-push-notification.html

I used QuickBlox push notifications. At the moment i'm developing iOS ChattAR based application http://quickblox.com/developers/Chattar. From iOS side, it's quite easy to integrate quickblox push notifications into application. About pricing - http://quickblox.com/pricing/ - my 2.5 year iOS developer expirience tells me that 1 000 000 pushes per month for application (QuickBlox Free plan) - it's very much (common AppStore application produce ~10 000 push notification per day -> 300 000 notifications per month).
DPS application can not use native iOS SDK, but there is REST API - http://quickblox.com/developers/Messages - you can use push notifications through REST API as well. Some month ago i was developing custom Android application & i integrated quickblox push notifications through REST API, it's real.

Who is the favorite third party storage provider?

Who can you recommend as a third party storage provider for my very large I-Photo file?

If the collection of Photos is indeed "very large", then online storage (simply for Backup purposes) is impractical. It takes too long to transfer the files.
If you want to provide ACCESS to the files for others, the features provided by the service outweighs all other considerations.

Standard Behaviour of Due Date in UWL for SRM Workitems

We have a deployment of Enterprise Portal which is integrated to SAP SRM (7.02). I have two queries regarding the standard behaviour of "Due Date" column in UWL:
1. The column always displays today as the due date for all shopping carts, irrespective of delviery date. I would like to know whether this is an issue and also would be helpful if you elaborate on how is this calculated.
2. The column is showing blank for any workitems other than shopping carts (Purchase Order change workitem, User change approvals, Invoice approvals etc.)
Thanks

Dear ArulPrakash
I hope you are well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
With reference to the scenario that you have described you mentioned the following:
You have a deployment of Enterprise Portal which is integrated to SAP SRM (7.02). You have two queries regarding the standard behaviour of "Due Date" column in UWL:
The column always displays today as the due date for all shopping carts, irrespective of delviery date. You would like to know whether this is an issue and also would be helpful if you elaborate on how is this calculated.
The column is showing blank for any workitems other than shopping carts (Purchase Order change workitem, User change approvals, Invoice approvals etc.)
Ok regarding your queries kindly let me attempt to provide some clarification and oversight.
Firstly in terms of the column and the fact it displays todays date as the due date (irrespective of the actual delivery date). Now from a broad level overview perspective it is possible to change the display of the due date in the UWL. In the standard xml file you will see the following: <DisplayAttribute name="dueDate" type="date" width="" sortable="yes" format="medium" referenceBundle="due_date" hAlign="LEFT" vAlign="BASELINE" maxTextWidth="0" headerVisible="yes"/> The medium format refers to the output of the field displaying the date as follows: Jun 01, 2014. The short format refers to the output of the field displaying the date as follows: 06/01/14.The long format refers to the output of the field displaying the date as follows: June 01, 2014. The full format refers to the output of the field displaying the date as follows: Tuesday, June 01, 2014. I've attached some reference documentation below for further reference on both your queries.
Secondly regarding the blank columns for workitems. Here the first thing which needs to be ensured is that SAP Note: 1133821 - UWL Destination Service configuration is followed and setup accordingly in terms of configuration settings and parameters. Now you mention that this is occuring for another other item other than shopping carts? Are custom attributes involed here? Could you please have a look at the help document below to check the bahavior of retrieving custom attributes in UWL? http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ef/f2aed99c414f81adacc6b897a6910a/content.htm

Problem in configuring third party JMS provider

Hi,
I am having a problem in configuring Sun MQ 4.4 JMS provider with weblogic 10.3.I tried the following method:-
1. Created a new outbound connection pool.
2.In the properties for the connection pool :-
ConnetionFactory Location :- myTestCF (this is the remote connection factory JNDI)
Factory properties :- java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory;java.naming.provider.url=file:/C:/my_object_store;java.naming.security.principal=admin;java.naming.security.credentials=admin
3.Provided the username and password also.
But when I am testing it from a SOA composite through a JMS adapter, it is giving me an exception indicating it could not locate the connection factory.I am clueless why this is happening.I've also tried with putting the sun mq jar files inside the <%wl_home%>/user_projects/domains/<%my_domain%>/lib folder.But it did not work.Please help.
Thanks,
Rahul

In third party process SO / PR / PO should be in integrity. Your manual modification violates this I think (you are making one PO item from two SO item...).

Processing Third-Party Orders in Purchasing
When you save a sales order that contains one or more third-party items, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition in Purchasing. Each third-party item in a sales order automatically generates a corresponding purchase requisition item. During creation of the requisition, the system automatically determines a vendor for each requisition item. If a sales order item has more than one schedule line, the system creates a purchase requisition item for each schedule line.
Purchase orders are created from purchase requisitions in the usual way. For more information about creating purchase orders, see the Purchasing documentation. During creation of the purchase order, the system automatically copies the delivery address of your customer from the corresponding sales order. In a sales order, you can enter purchase order texts for each third-party item. When you create the corresponding purchase order, the texts are automatically copied into the purchase order. The number of the purchase order appears in the document flow information of the sales order.
All changes made in the purchase order are automatically made in the sales order as well. For example, if the vendor confirms quantities and delivery dates different from those you request and enters them in the purchase order, the revised data is automatically copied into the sales order.

Csaba

Object visualization to open attachment link in UWL decision task workitems

We are using Object Visualization (in t-code SWFVISU) to open an I-view when you click the attachment link in decision task workitems. I sort of have this working. My issue is that I need to pass parameters to the I-view. I'm not sure how to do that. I've seen some documentation on dynamic parms in SWFVISU (DYNPARM) but I don't see that option (maybe we are on an older version). Maybe we can via XML files? I've done Task visualization and edited xml files but I'm not sure if we can do similar code for object visualization. Does anyone know how to do this? Have any samples/documentation?
Thanks,
Matt

UWL - Triggering a Workitem in Portal ?

Hi Gurus,
First of all, Im new in UWL and I have a question about it.
I have an existing Workflow in SAP Business Workplace which contains tasks which are calling SAP Transaction (eg. ME23N or something else) or specific screens through BDC :
Workflows -> Tasks -> SAP Transaction
My customer use now the UWL and wants to know if its possible to launch the entire Workflow which was in SAP Business Workplace directly in the portal.
I heard about SAP GUI for HTML but he wants to execute each screen of the Workflow (in Screen Painter, Select option or SAP Transaction ) in SAP EP like a BSP or WebDynpro iview without coding (maybe a way to convert ABAP screens in iview ??).
I read in the following document
http://help.sap.com/bp_epv260/EP_JA/documentation/How-to_Guides/KM/UWL.pdf
"Item Launch Configuration
For specific task types, the default task launch as defined in the backend is overridden by iViews,
WebDynpro applications or any URL, which represent the task completion transaction."
To summary and to be more explicit, I want to do exactly the same thing in page 3 (or page 9/65) of the above pdf document.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Follow these instructions:
SAP Business Workflow in UWL :
Step1. open the role to which you want to attach this UWL iview.
Step2.Choose Content Administration -> Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP -> End User Content -> Standard Portal Users->Pages -> com.sap.km.pages folder.
Step3. under com.sap.km.pages folder you can see UniversalWorklist page.
Step4. Assign this page to the role you have already opened. Save and close.
Step5. Create the SAP System(System Object) in the System Landscape.
step6. Register the SAP System. 1. Navigate to System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Universal Worklist.
step7.Select UWL Systems Configuration. You see a list of Universal Worklist Webflow Systems.
i. Choose the New button.
ii. In the dialog box that appears:
iii In Name, enter the name of the system that is running Business Workflow.
iv In System Alias, enter the system alias.
v In Connector, select WebFlowConnector
save ok.
step8.Register Work Item Types
step9.Choose System Administration -> System Configuration -> Universal Work List Administration page.
Step10.Select Register Item Types for New Systems Only. your new system will be registered.
Now logoff and logon. you can see the workflow activated.
While registering work item types see that the user doing this is already created in the backend system.
hope that helps...

Third Party Service Provider

Does AM 6.3 acting as the Identity Provider, support any third party software that could potentially be installed on the service provider side and that can communicate with AM using SAML? Please let us know if anyone has successfully implemented using any such software.
Thanks

Thanks for getting back to me Bernhard.
1. All that I knew about Liberty ID-FF and SAML 1.1 is that they are two different protocols for now and they merge into one as SAML 2.0. I didn't know that Liberty ID-FF uses SAML 1.1 as a transport vehicle ( first of all I will need to read into seeing what this means from saying using plain SAML 1.1 ).
2. We just heard about source-id and we are looking into this. The main criteria for us for now to choose one over the other is dependent on the following factors:
a) Which is easier and quicker to develop and deploy( AM or sourceid) on the Service Provider side assuming we have very little knowledge of SAML..
b) If we end up choosing sourceid on the Service Provider side will it be compatible with AM on the IP side?
Thanks

UWL getting all workitems, needs only HR one

Hi,
Please note that i am a HR functional consultant, we have implemented ESS on our project, now there is Universal Work List in which all the workflows should come related to HR processes only.
But issue is while we have connected UWL all workflows for that employees are showing in that whcih includes item from HR , MM and PM.
I have consulted my workflow consultant about this but, he is saying ""Differentiating between the workitems is not possible because it is the same Inbox.""
May you please suggest any solution for the same.
Regards,
Brijesh Kumar

Hello,
In general you should be able to restrict the different task types in UWL configuration. I mean that at the first place you need to configure each and every task in UWL configuration that the tasks would be visible in UWL (and this works also other way around - if you don't configure the task in UWL, it will not be visible in UWL). I know that people have had some problems with this functionality lately. The tasks have been visible in UWL even though they are not configured for UWL.
Using the above-mentioned BADI should definately not be the answer for your problem. If I understand correctly, this badi is for restricting the tasks being visible in the business workplace, and that is not something that you want to achieve. You want to achieve that certain tasks would be visible in Business Workplace and NOT in UWL, am I correct?
You should discuss again with your workflow consultant about this.
Regards,
Karri

UWL system specific workitems

Hi SDNs,
I have integrated two SAP R/3 systems with my portal UWL and the connection is working fine and it is also displaying the workitems correclty.
But it is just mixing up the items. For example my two SAP systems are one is for HR integration and other is for PO workflow integration.
Suppose if i want to have only PO related workitems in one UWL iView and Leave items in other UWL iView.
What is the way of filtering the workitems only to specific system object other than View definition customization.
Because i don't require any custiom attributes or new actions to be included. the window should be as it is the default one only workitems should be filtered.
Is there anyway of doing that!
Please suggest me.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sireesha.
