UWL configuration for decision step

Hi!
We are using the decision task for approving trips (TS200000118).
We've to add a decision note as described in this forum (UserDecisionNote).
How do I get the standard xml for this step to modify this.
I just found the entries in the uwl.webflow:
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.decision.TS20000118.mandant086" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="viewDetail" executionMode="default">
<ItemTypeCriteria systemId="mandant086" externalType="TS20000118" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
</ItemType>
Kind regards and thanks for any hints!
Peter

Hi Peter,
As you are already aware of UWL supports a property called UserDecisionNote for the UserDecisionHandler action and can configure the XML file of UWL for this.
For example:-
Can add the following in UWL xml configuration file. And then upload the xml file.
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.decision.TS90100366.SAP_ECC_FINANCIALS.SAP_ECC_Financials" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="viewDetail" executionMode="default">
<ItemTypeCriteria systemId="mandant086" externalType="TS20000118" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
<Actions>
<Action name="send" groupAction="yes" handler="UserDecisionHandler" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="no">
<Properties>
<Property name="decisionKey" value="1"/>
</Properties>
<Descriptions default="send"/>
</Action>
<Action name="reject" groupAction="yes" handler="UserDecisionHandler" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="no">
<Properties>
<Property name="UserDecisionNote" value="true"/>
<Property name="decisionKey" value="2"/>
</Properties>
<Descriptions default="reject"/>
</Action>
</Actions>
</ItemType>
Please refer to [link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/7a/df014b037141ca9afc6433ed42b519/frameset.htm].

UWL configuration for travel and leave

Hi,
Can anyone guide me on configuring leave and travel workflow and UWL connectors.
We have deployed ESS/MSS .
HR is configured in SAP ECC. Workflows are configured. I want to integrate to UWL.
I am very new to UWL , so i need steps from start to end like connectors creation and RFC creations etc
Thanking You,

UWL configuration for Federated Portals logging errors in defaultTrace

Hi everyone,
I've just finished configuring UWL for Guided Procedures on federated portals using the help provided in the links below:
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/904ca240-63bc-2a10-1c98-de81b6a045bf|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/904ca240-63bc-2a10-1c98-de81b6a045bf]

Everything is running very well except for the fact that exceptions for the GPsystem I created are showing up in the defaultTrace log. The message repeats itself several times:
03/12/2009 , 15:56:12:234 , GPsystem | ACCESS.ERROR | null | | Permission=(com.sap.caf.eu.gp.model.permission.GPPermission GP.GET.WORKITEMS) , Error , /System/Security/Audit , com.sap.security.core.util.SecurityAudit , sap.com/cafeugpmodeleap , GPsystem
These log traces repeat themselves so many times that they seem to be causing an unnecessary load on the system. Other that that, both the Guided Procedure and UWL are working perfectly. Does anyone have any idea as to why this might be happening?
Thank you very much,
Luis

UWL Configuration for KM Resources

We are creating XML documents in KM folders using custom PAR file based iViews. These XML documents do go through approval process. When a notification received by an approver in UWL, the link the task is opening XML document in browser. Instead, our requirement is to open this document using another custom iView (that reads this XML document and displays the data in formatted HTML fields).
Please note that each KM folder stores different type of XML content. Thus, all documents in the same folder should be opened with one specific iView.
Is it possible do the above using standard configuration? If so, please advice on how we do it? Any documentation, guidance, info would be highly helpful.
If configuration task is not possible, is it possible to do the same by any custom coding? Please advise with additional info.
Thanks

Hi Leena,

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
Edited by: Siralos on Oct 31, 2011 3:38 PM

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...

"You can also" link in UWL work item when using user decision step in workflow

Hi,
Just want to check if anybody has tried adding links to this section in the UWL when using user decision step? I need to pass some custom links which will be calling some webdynpro applications and backend transactions. I have read somewhere that Ineed to modify the XML file but don' t know how the next steps once I have defined (i.e. how to handle those links).
Thanks in advance.
Rammel

Hi Rammel
I hope you are keeping well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
Based upon your scenario you mentioned that:
You want to add links to the "You Can Also" section in the UWL with user decision steps
In an effort to pass custom links (calling web dynpro) applications.
You wish to know how to modify the XML
Ok now based upon the scenario there are two key points regarding XML files and efforts to change them.
Remember that XML in terms of the UWL follow the notion of precedence. Now that means that once you make a change to an XML file you need to re-upload it to realize changes. To re-upload an XML file and realized changes you need to do so with a "High" or "Very High" priority and also ensure that the UWL Cache has been cleared of the UWL Service restarted so changes can be realized.
The second key point is to ensure that you backup all current XML files before making any changes so you can easily revert those changes if required.
Now reverting back to your query, the XML files and the "You Can Also" section. Kindly see the documentation outlined below as here you are going to make changes to the I-View configuration:

Terminating Event with Decision Step

Hi,
In our purchase requisition approval workflow, I need to have a decision step in which to prompt approver to either approve the req. or reject the requisition. In this decision step, I need for it to have terminating events for "SIGNIFICANTLYCHANGED", "RELEASE", "REJECT" and "RESET".
First, I copy the generic decision task 8267 to my my own custom decision task. Then I added a BUS2009 in the container, releasecode and other needed elements. In this custom decision task, I was able to add these terminating events that has been defined in the BUS2009. I was able to setup binding, except the one binding
Terminating Event ->   Task
&_EVT_OBJECT&      ->   &_WI_OBJECT_ID&
Since the &_EVT_OBJECT& for the terminating event is BUS2009. And the custom decision task &_WI_OBJECT_ID& is DECISION business object. They're incompatable business object. So I replaced that binding with
Terminating Event     -> Task
&_EVT_OBJECT&    ->   &PURCHASE_REQ&
After all the configuration has been setup. I created a new purchase requisition. Upon the RELEASESTEPCREATED event, it create a custom decision workitem in my agent's inbox. When I triggered the "RELEASE" event, it is however not terminating my custom decision workitem. The workitem still sits in the agent's inbox waiting to be execute.
Is it possible to setup terminating events for decision step? Any kind of suggestions or inputs would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Jennifer Tran
System Analyst

I will suggest you to create a fork with 2 parallel branch and 1 necessary branch. Put the approval step in 1 branch and the wait for Release step event in another branch in this way you can suffice your requirment.
Thanks

Link in User Decision step not showing correctly in UWL

Hi SAP Experts,
I have a requirement to add a link in a user decision step, this link triggers a custom webdynpro for additional input. When I access the workitem from Business Workplace, the link is showing fine. But when I execute the workitem in UWL, the link is not displayed, instead the code is shown (<a>...</a>). Please advise on what I should do to have the link working. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This same thing was just recently discussed. I just cannot find the thread anymore (well, in that thread there was not really any solution). Basically the hyperlinks in work item do not seem to work in UWL as they should. I don't know if there are any way to make them work. My suggestion is to not use the hyperlink at all and replace that with an action (=button) to the task in the UWL. This can be achieve quite easily by simple XML configuration in portal. If you have worked with UWL this should be quite straightforward for you, or if there is a consultant at the site, who is familiar with UWL, this should be simple for him/her.

User Decision step in UWL

Hi,
I have a 3 user decision steps in my Customised workflow which uses the task TS00008267. Each task has different decison text and outcome. When this is executed through UWl the outcome does not appear as they are in SBWP.
Does this need and Portal Configuration?
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
There are two thing you need to do.
First, you need to configure the SWFVISU.
Run Tcode SWFVISU.
here, select "Task Visualization' and maintain your standard task ( TS ) with ABAP web dynpro option.
Now selct your entry and click on Visualization Parameters as mentopn below.
APPLICATION ( WD application name )
DYNPARAM
NAMESPACE
SYSTEM_ALIAS
Second, ask Portal team to chagne the XML code for the above standard task and application ( i.e. WD appilcation which will be launced on clicking the task ).
From the next run of the workflow, WD applcitoon will be lauched from the protal.
for the old workitem this will not work.
Note : If u do not configure SWFVISU then WD application will not lauch but user will get SAP gui screen for processing it.
xlm code must be changed corresponding task for both case.
Thanks and ragards,

Refresh dynamic text of decision step in UWL

Hi Experts,
I have a custom decision task with a dynamic title that is send to the approvers (could be multiple) for processing from UWL.
The text ís : "User &1 raised a leave request for the date &2. Approval needed."
Where &1 is the user initiating the workflow and &2 is the date for which the leave request is raised.
The decision step is shown correctly for all the approvers in the UWL.
Problem:
The user has an option to change the date on which he wants to apply the leave, before the decision step is acted upon by any of the approvers.
in such scenarios, though the workflow containers are updating correctly, the dynamic text shown in the UWL still shows the old date.
Can you please let me know if there is any way of 'refreshing' the text of the decision step that is already displayed in UWL so that it always shows the correct date.
Thanks,
Cay.

SOFM in user decision step - provide reason in UWL

Hello Everyone,
I'm working with a customer who wants to use a user decision step and add a reason for the rejection only. This step will be executed in UWL - since UWL doesn't support syncrhonous dialog chains, it can't be implemented by adding another step with SOFM. I have seen the 'template with attachment' in the user decision step, and have tried binding SOFM to the Reference in the container, but the user doesn't have the option.
Perhaps this could be implemented with a secondard amodal method - which checks the user decision code and only implements if the decision was rejected. I'd like to be able to put a condition on the secondary methods.
If you've done something like this, please let me know!
Regards
Ginger

Hi Ginger,
Unfortunately it is not only synchronous dialog chains, but also secondary methods that are not supported in the UWL, so you're stuck both ways.
Though, I have been told that the latest SP does support some kind of advance with dialog functionality (SP15 I think?).
At one customer we used a custom ABAP-based decision step which executed in a wingui session - thus synchronous dialog chains worked as long as every subsequent step was wingui based (which SOFM.CREATE obviously is) - worked quite well.
Let me know if you need more info.
Cheers,
Mike

User Decision step- Upon reject, auto-popup text for reason

In a user decision step, when the user clicks the reject button, open text for rejection reason within the workitem.
i have done the following
1) Create a new step
2) Create a task based on SOFM.CREATE
3) Binded WIOBJECT_ID => (append table) ADHOCOBJECTS
It works fine, when the user clicks the reject button a new work item with the reason for rejection lands in the user inbox, which when clicked brings up the doc.
I want to make it seamless for the user where as soon as the reject button is clicked, the document <b>should open right away</b> without a new work item in the inbox
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Hi
If you are using the portal/UWL then search the blogs for a solution otherwise give this a try, in your step definition for the 2 steps, go to the Details tab and tick 'Advance with dialog', this will work if you execute from the business workplace.
Good Luck!

Need 2 Multiline elements for user decision step

We are on SAP R/3 Enterprise version.
I have this requirement to find agents based on the agent type and work center field. So I created a responsibility rule for each type of agent type. The responsibility rule is keyed on the work center, and HR positions are mapped to each responsibility rules work center field.
We have 50 agent types/responsibility rules, 60 work centers, and 1 or more positions for each agent type and work center combinations. Due to the total number of positions, I prefer to use 1 responsibility rule per agent type for ease of maintenance.
I have a FM that reads the responsibility rule based on the agent type and work center field and retrieve the agent_list. I used this FM/method/step prior to my user decision step and pass the agent_list to the UD step via container.
In my user decision step, the Other tab does not have Multiline element for me to enter my agent_list. So I cannot use &agent_list[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]& in my user decision agent assignment expression field.
In my last job, we have SAP ECC 5.0, the UD step has a Misc tab that has Multiline element, but our current SAP R/3 Enterprise version does not have Misc tab, it only has Other tab.
Question:
1. How do I use [&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&] without Multiline element for agent_list in UD step?
2. I have to use the same way to retrieve my LED_agent_list as well, so I need 2 Multiline elements in my UD step. But normally in Other tab, it allows you to define only 1 Multiline element. How do I get around this restriction?
3. My last resort is to use 1 responsibility rule, then I can use the rule in the agent assignment. If that is the case, is there any limit on the number of entries in the rule?
Thanks.
Amy
