UWL Action followup

Hi,
in the UWL I created the Action followup for uwl.task webflow item (in my own uwl.webflow.xml)
<Action name="followup" groupAction="no" handler="ProviderActionHandler" returnToDetailViewAllowed="no" launchInNewWindow="no">
<Properties>
    <Property name="display_order_priority" value="3"/>
</Properties>
<Descriptions default="Follow-up">
    <ShortDescriptions>
      <Description Language="de" Description="Follow-up"/>
    </ShortDescriptions>
</Descriptions>
</Action>
The result: Problem in performing action <followup>: Unknown action: <followup>-
Any idea? It's the wrong handler?
Regards
Alexander

Hi gopal,
I think followup is a standard action in NW04 and not the action handler. (look here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/05b15de3864040a9426788a12699b3/frameset.htm)
It's required for R/3 Workitems (like the action "resubmit" in context menue in Business Workplace)
Thanks & regards
Alexander

Manage UWL action buttons

Hi experts,
I've customized the buttons that are displayed in the UWL. In the beginning i had only "Create task" button but after that i added "Manage substitution rules" and "Refresh" as buttons by changing uwl.standart.xml. The buttons are added successfully but now the refresh is shown not only as a button but as a link in the right side with the other two links "Show filters" "Hide preview". Is there any way to remain the button but remove the link of the refresh. I have to say that the other option "Manage substitution rules" is added only as a button but not as a link - this is exactly what i am expecting as a final result for the refresh. Here is the xml for refresh action:
    <Action name="refresh" groupAction="yes" handler="UIActionHandler" referenceBundle="refresh" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="SHOW_HEADERLESS_PORTAL">
      <Properties>
        <Property name="type" value="button"/>
        <Property name="onClick" value="onForceRefresh"/>
<Property name="display_order_priority" value="uwlExcludeFromPreviewDetail"/>
      </Properties>
    </Action>
For comparison here is the Substitution manager action in the xml:
    <Action name="launchSubstitutionManager" groupAction="yes" handler="SAPWebDynproLauncher" referenceBundle="SubstitutionManager" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowName="Substitution" launchNewWindowFeatures="width=800,height=600,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
      <Properties>
        <Property name="WebDynproApplication" value="UWLSubstitution"/>
        <Property name="WebDynproDeployableObject" value="sap.com/tckmcbc.uwl.ui~wd_ui"/>
        <Property name="DynamicParameter" value="uwlSessionId=${context.uwlSessionId}&configureGroup=${context.configureGroup}"/>
        <Property name="System" value="SAP_LocalSystem"/>
        <Property name="display_order_priority" value="uwlExcludeFromPreviewDetail"/>
      </Properties>
    </Action>
These actions are also added in the defaultView :
<View name="DefaultView" selectionMode="SINGLESELECT" width="98%" supportedItemTypes="uwl.task" columnOrder="subject, isEscalated, creatorId, createdDate, priority, attachmentCount, dueDate, status" sortby="priority:descend, dueDate:ascend, createdDate:descend" tableDesign="STANDARD" visibleRowCount="10" headerVisible="no" queryRange="undefined" tableNavigationFooterVisible="yes" tableNavigationType="CUSTOMNAV" actionRef="" refresh="300" dueDateSevere="86400000" dueDateWarning="259200000" emphasizedItems="new" displayOnlyDefinedAttributes="yes" dynamicCreationAllowed="yes" actionPosition="bottom" referenceBundle="tasks">

        <Action reference="removeFromNavigation"/>
<Action reference="launchSubstitutionManager"/>
        <Action reference="refresh"/>
      </Actions>
    </View>
Any suggestions will be very helpful.

Hi Teodor,
To remove the "Refresh" link from UWL find the effective UWL iView in Portal Content Administration, open its properties and see the property with name "List of UWL Actions to exclude". Once you find it put as a value the word "refresh" withouth the quotes. Use the "Preview" button to see the effect.

Remove UWL Action from just one item type

I would like to remove the "forward" action from only one item type in the UWL. There is the ability to remove an action from all items in a particular iView using "List of UWL Actions to exclude", however, I can not find out how, or if it is possible to exclude a UWL action in the XML configuration file for just one item type. We are on NWO4s sp 05. Does anyone know if this can be done and what the xml snippet would look like that would remove the "forward" action from a single item type?
Regards,
Stephanie.

Kiran,
The xml snippet you sent does remove the "forward" action from the UWL preview iView, but it does not remove the action from the list view. To the right of every item in the list view is the "properties" icon (unclear on the actual name of this icon - the one that has 3 small lines and a triangle). When this is clicked the "forward" option still appears. I am looking for a way to totally disable the forward option on the defaultView, but only for certain item types.
Regards,
Stephanie.

Can anybody help me.

karsten

Karsten,
Can you post two things to help us resolve your problem:
1. The section of the UWL XML file which configures launching the Web Dynpro
2. The URL of the Web Dynpro application when you launch it in "preview" mode
Here's a sample which worked for me on a previous project:
<ItemTypes>
    <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS90000001" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="ESCRView" defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="pessimistic">
      <ItemTypeCriteria externalType="TS90000001" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
      <Actions>
        <Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction="" handler="SAPWebDynproLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="no">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="WebDynproApplication" value="UWLChoiceList"/>
            <Property name="WebDynproDeployableObject" value="local/ESCR01"/>
            <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default="Launch Choice List">
          </Descriptions>
        </Action>
      </Actions>
      <Menu>
        <MenuItem name="launchWebDynPro" actionRef="launchWebDynPro"/>
      </Menu>
    </ItemType>

UWL Action name="viewDetail"

Hi,
I have created a custom UWL for displaying HR tasks only. Everything is working fine, but the details view is not showinng by default. Instead, a button View Detail appears and when clicked the details open in a new window. In my ItemType I have written the following:
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS12300097" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="mss_tasks_overview" defaultAction="viewDetail" executionMode="default">
and declared an action within the ItemType:
<Action name="viewDetail" groupAction="no" handler="UIActionHandler" referenceBundle="view_detail" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="no">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="image" value="icon_detail.gif"/>
            <Property name="display_order_priority" value="-2"/>
          </Properties>
</Action>
How can I make the details visible by default and within the same window (no new window)?
Thanks!

Combine standard task (ABAP method call) and additional UWL Action Handlers

Hi, i have defined a task with an asynchronous ABAP method call and a terminating event which i want to use "as is" in the universal worklist, that means that the standard action has to be the ABAP method call defined for the task.
In addition to that i want to add an extra button to the workitem view in the worklist which opens a web dynpro application. The web dynpro needs a parameter from the workitem container. Opening the web dynpro is not required for completing the task, so i do not consider using secondary methods.
I created an UWLConfiguration for the task type without defining the defaultAction attribute, since defaultAction should not be overwritten. I wanted to use SAPWebDynproABAPLauncher to generate the button since i can easily include values from the workitem container in the call.
When executing a workitem from the worklist the ABAP method call is not performed, instead a window opens which just displays the workitem. The button to web dynpro is generated and works fine.
Does anyone have a clue how i can use UWL to define an additional button with SAPWebDynproABAPLauncher without overwriting the standard task definition?

SRM Portal - UWL actions removal

Hi,
When we login to portal with SRM Manager role , For all the work items that are shown from the backend, we could see the following buttons.
Approve , reject , details , print preview , resubmit , forward , assign to me.
We were asked to remove the Reject button .
Please help me in this modification.
Thanks,
Tanuj

The information is right there.
The XML configuration file that is being picked up (for this particular item) is com.sap.pct.srm.core.xml
From UWL administration page - click on "Click to Manage Item Types and View Definitions" and in the following screen you can find this XML. Download this file and modify it and upload it back.
Look for the section where it says:
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.srm.TS40007953 ...................
and remove the section :
<Action reference="com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.reject" ........ >
You will have to do this for all the item types you are using in your scenario.
Thanks,
Shanti

UWL action

Hello,
When I'm connected to SAP Portal I can see the UWL messages, like in the R/3 SBWP transaction.
But I'm having a problem when I'm trying to "Approve" or "Refuse" an item.
- If I do it in SBWP transaction, everything is ok: the system shows me the options, I click over "Approve" or "Reject", and the WI dissappears from the Inbox.
- If I do it in the UWL, the system shows me the options, I click over "Approve" or "Reject", BUT the item remains there, with no changes.
If I'm going to SWIA transactions, the item still has READY status. Then, If I'm going to SBWP transaction and I'm trying to execute the item, the system DO NOT shows me any option, he directly executes the option I selected in the UWL!!! (the same happens if I try to executed it in SWIA transaction).
Anyone knows what is happening?? I think it works some days before...
Thx!
Miguel.

Hello all!!
Well, finally it was a JCO customizing error... now it works!!!
Thx!!!

Action Buttons are not getting displayed in UWL

Hi Experts,
I am facing some issues in UWL action buttons and I need your help in resolving this.
When a request is generated in ECC systems, a notification is generated in ECC as well as portal.
In ECC, we can see two buttons in the notification, "Complete" and "Cancel work item in Inbox".
But in portal, these two buttons are not visible in the notifications.
Please let me know how to bring these action buttons in UWL portal.
Thanks a lot,

First of all, please see SAP Note 1133821 - UWL Destination Service Configuration and create the RFC destination as explained in the note.
The procedure is also explained in the wiki:

Error while trying to Upload the modified standard uwl.standard.xml

Hello Forum,
I am working on the UWL customization. I have a situation like i have to remove the links that appear in the ViewDetail of any UWL request. When we open any of the request and VIew the details of it we see the links in the right such as:
You can also:
Add Memo
Display Details in SAP Gui
Attachments Manager
Create Ad-Hoc Request
View History
Now the requirement is to remove the underlined actions. I read from some forum that i have to comment the actions those were defined in the uwl.standard.xml
I have commented the actions in the uwl.standard.xml and now when i'm trying to upload the file i get the error message saying:
Wed Sep 10 14:22:10 CDT 2008 : Operation not allowed on standard configuration:uwl.standard
How do i upload this modified file? Please suggest me.
Regards,
Krishna

Krishna,
Instead of modifying the UWL configuration file, this is possible by changing some property in the UWL iView itself.
Open the UWL iView --> Goto property called List of UWL Actions to Be Excluded --> Enter followUp,launchSAPDetails,manageAttachments,uwlTaskWizard,viewHistory and save your changes.
Regarding your error, what you can do is while upload "use Upload with High priority". If that does not work then backup the standard configuration, delete the changes, clear the UWL cache and then upload your new custom configuration as uwl.standard.

How to remove Forward/Resubmit options from UWL workitems

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement to remove Forward/Resubmit options from UWL workitems of the Hover menu.
Can anyone let me know how to do it ?

Hi Chaitanya,
If you want to remove forward and resubmit actions for all the UWL items, it should be simple.
Open the UWL iview and look for a property called "List of UWL actions to exclude".
In that property enter the values "followUp" and "forward" separated by a comma.
followUp - Resubmit
forward - Forward
This should remove the two actions for all the UWL items.
Here is a help link with more info:
[UWL Action to Exclude|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fd/8bf6d1b0484ec7ade4369792a22293/content.htm]
If you want to remove these options for selected UWL items only, refer to this forum:
[post|Exclude Actions from UWL using XML;

How to hide display details in sap gui and create ad-hoc request in UWL?

Please telme the step-by-step procedure to hide "details in sap gui" and "create ad-hoc request".
Thanks,

Hi,
Thanks for the information. It was very helpfull.
Can you please tellme where can we fine UWL iView? I tried to find this out in two ways.
1) Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP -> End User Content -> Standard Portal Users -> Views -> com.sap.coll.iviews -> Universal Worklist (finally i got this iView). Here i dint find any property called "List of UWL Actions to exclude". In the link which you had given, its written that we can modify the iView and add the name of the actions under the Actions to exclude from the UWL property.
Which iView do we need to modify and where can i find that property?
2) I downloaded the xml file and then tried to find this property "List of UWL Actions to exclude" or " Actions to exclude from the UW". But i couldnt find both the properties in xml file.
Thanks,
Rashmi

Hiding the "Manage Substitution" button in the UWL IView

I am trying to hide the "Manage Substitution" button in the UWL IView but I can not figure it out. I have tried looking at all of the documentation I can find and none of it describes how to hide the button. Can anyone help me out?

Manage Substitution button you see is an Action triggered by UWL. Action name is "launchSubstitutionManager".
If you want to remove total support for substitution, set the IView Property "Display substituted user selector" (in PCD content) to "no" or "false".
If you want substitution feature,but dont want to display manage substitution button, then add "launchSubstitutionManager" to the IView Property "List of UWL Actions to exclude"
Hope that helps.
