UWL development

Hello everyone,
I want dispaly that the content of CRM inbox such as activity,task,documents in tasks tab of UWL iview, and I expect they can be open and operated, like workflow item display in UWL.
I had read much of documents, include "How to configure the universal worklist",help ,and so on.
And I had apply the SONiC.
I think it need a development of UWL , but I don't know how to do this development.
Please give me some advice about how to develop UWL to display CRM inbox content.
BR,
Jianguo Chen

I couldnt quite understand your requirement.
You want workflow items etc from CRM in Portal. UWL does just that.
SONIC will give you SAP Office mails from CRM as well in your UWL apart from workflows.
Why do u think it needs development of uwl?

How to make changes to standard UWL WebDynpros?

Hi,
We are faced with the problem to make changes to the standard UWL Person Search Dialog. But couldn't find any documentation, blog or anything else how to achieve this. We strongly believe, that we have to create a new track in nwdi, import uwl development components, make changes to them, transport and so on.
So, how can we make changes to standard uwl WebDynpro components?
Thanx,
Gerald

After investigating hours of hours i have come to the following conclusion concerning uwl customization:
uwl can be customized following this documenation https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a3461636-0301-0010-3787-978f5ac8bd45
I have tried to check out the sap standard software component (sap.com/UWLJWF), put them into a nwdi track and try to change it. Just the same way as you have to do it using ess/xss.
But it didn't work out, because source codes are not included. I have also got the info from sap that the uwl webdynpros are not designed for custom changes.
So, there is no way.

UWL System Customization

Hi,
I'm new on the UWL development and currently working on a custom connector. I have added new attributes to the UWLSystems.cc.xml (path in configarchive file: install\meta\lib\com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl\systems\UWLSystems.cc.xml ) so that backend informations (host ip, port, router etc.) can be configured. After deployment these values can be set in the UWL Systems configurations view.
Here my UWLSystems.cc.xml
BPMConnector is my custom connector.
confHost,confPort,confRouter,confSessionTimeout are my new defined attributes
<ConfigClass name="UWLSystems" configurable="com.sapportals.config.plugin.default_fs.Configurable">
<attribute name="name" type="string" mandatory="true" />
<attribute name="confSystem" type="string" mandatory="true" />
<attribute name="connector" type="enum" values="WebFlowConnector,BPMConnector,ActionInboxConnector,AdHocWorkflowConnector,AlertConnector" mandatory="true" default="AdHocWorkflowConnector" />
<attribute name="confGroup" type="string" mandatory="false" />
<attribute name="confWDSystem" type="string" mandatory="false" />
<attribute name="confHost" type="string" mandatory="false" />
<attribute name="confPort" type="string" mandatory="false" />
<attribute name="confRouter" type="string" mandatory="false" />
<attribute name="confSessionTimeout" type="string" mandatory="false" />
</ConfigClass>
Now my question: How can I access these attributes within the api or is there in other way to configure those data?
Best regards
Matthias

Hi Padma,
I think Modifying the XML file and uploading the new configuration will solve the problem.
Here is the same querry for different button visibility
"Display Form" button not visible in UWL preview

I am not getting the connector listed in the connector drop down.
Can any body explain how to configure 3rd party connector and its related steps?
But when I try to configure a new Universal worklist Systems using Universal worklist and workflow->Universal worklist->Universal worklist Systems-
I am a new to UWL concept. Please tell me where can I see the log or trace messages for UWL.(is it defaultTrace.trc)
I am trying to work with the exercise of BEM350_exercise2_solution in NW04 Sp14.This is a sample exercise specified in SAP TechEd 2006.But done using 2004s platform.

Configuring UWL and developing iviews in the portal in BI

what is the posibility of configuring Universal Worklist and developing iviews in the portal in BI?

Hi,
You will be able to see only the worklist items in your UWL window. Please go to the SAP BW inbox and check if some workflow e-mails are there.
If workflow e-mails are there, then it is a config issue in your configuration of UWL.
Hope this helps.

Developing 3rd party UWL Connectors for People soft system or other Java sy

Hi Everyone
We have one requirement that is u201CDeveloping 3rd party UWL Connectors for People soft system or other Java systemu201D and get the workflows from those system and display in portal though UWL.
We used u201CUWL Custom Connector APIu201D and written all the required methods.
Could any one help us u201CWhere can we specify the 3rd party system details?u201D
If possible please send some sample coding for it.
Thanks in advance

Hi Satya!
Like the default SAP backend UWL connectory your 3rd-party connector should make use of a PCD System Object. This system is a mere java component with nothing more than a portalapp.xml defining all the system properties.
Create a system in the portal system landscape based on the System PAR you depoyed.
For every UWL connector you create in portal you define a system alias. This alias has to match the one of your new system object.
And now for the sad part: I didn't find any clue yet about how to access the system from a custom UWL connector. The system alias is available in the method getItems(), but no hint whatsoever how to get the system object to the alias.
I'm still investigating this, since i'm exactly at this point.

Sending mails to UWL using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 function module

Hi all,
is it possible to view mails send using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 function module to UWL?
I am receving emails in my SAP Inbox.
Please guide.
thanks.

Hi,
You can only get the SAP mails into UWL notification tab with the Sonic connector (well of course with some custom development everything is possible).
One trick to get the workflow for sending "mails" to UWL is to NOT use email sending step, but instead use a decision step in the workflow and send this work item to the user. The decision step can include the same message as the email, and have onl one option "Confirm" (or whatever). These you can easily display in UWL since they are normal work items.

Web Dynpro Application is not openeing from Portal UWL

Hi,
I have developed a WD application which is integrated in the portal. This WD application navigates through several levels of approval by triggering the workflow. Initially USER will create the request launching the WD application from portal and upon clicking the SUBMIT button -> Workflow will be triggered and Work item will be sent to Approver UWL list in the Portal.
Link will be displayed in the UWL list and upon clicking that link WD application need to be opened where the details will be displayed and can approve the request by clicking on APPROVE button.
Here, We have created a PFCG role which can be assigned to USER to access the WD application to create the request from portal. But for Approvers, we have not assigned any such roles except UWL role.
Workflow is working fine, Workitem is displayed in Approvers UWL but when they click on the link -> WD Application is not opening. Configuration in SWFVISU is done.
I think we are missing some roles which need to be assigned to Approvers. We cross checked by assigning SAP_ALL profile to the Approers and found WD application is getting opened and everything is working fine. But we are not supposed to give SAP_ALL in the PRD.
Please help what are the other roles that need to be assigned to Approvers.
Thanks,
Bharath.

did you try by assigning pfcg roles to approvers along with Uwl?

If i can create my own task within portal by API or using another method , then How can i add that task link within the drop down box that is present in the Collaboration launch pad and Mytask Workset.?
Is there any API regarding UWL (which is useful for creation of custom tasks in Portal using Developer Studio by means of Portal Application Creation) ?
How can i add that custom task in the drop down ?.
I have tried the customization of existing UWL.
I shall be grateful to those who can help me to solve this issue with links regarding the solution of my problem's.

How to get the dynamic columns in UWL portal

Hi All,
I am working on UWL Portal. I am new to UWL. I have down loaded uwl.standard XML file and costomized for getting the values for "select a Subview" dropdown and I am able to see the values in the dropdown. Now my requirement is to get the dynamic columns based on the selection from dropdown value.
can any body suggest on how to get the dynamic columns in UWL portal.

Hi Manorama,
1) If you have already created a portal system as mentioned in following blog
/people/marcel.salein/blog/2007/03/14/how-to-create-a-portal-system-for-using-it-in-visual-composer
2) If not, then try to create the same. Do not forgot to give the Alias name .
3) After creating a system, log on to the VC, Create one iView.
4) Now Click on "Find Data" button from the list which you can view in right side to Visual composer screen.
5) After clicking on "Find Data" button, it will ask for System. If you have created your system correctly and Alias name is given properly, then your mentioned Alias name is appeared in that list.
6) Select your system Alias name and perform search.
7) It will display all the BAPIs and RFCs in your systems.
8) Select required BAPI and develop the VC application.
Please let me know if you any further problems.
Thanks,
Prashant

Problem with Business object attributes in UWL Workitem description

Hi All,
I have developed a workflow which sends the workitem for two level approvals. Once the workflow is triggered workitem sent to the respective user for approval. When user opens the workitem in inbox he can see all the data which comes from the 'Z' Business object in R/3 and he can approve the same. Everything works fine when this process happens in R/3 system.
The problem comes when user opens this workitem in UWL or this workitem is sent to user mail ID executing 'SWN_SELSEN' report, all the attributes of the business object are displayed in the workitem description except 2 . These are the Minimum annual salary(GRMIN) and Maximum annual salary(GRMAX) fields from 'T510N' table.
Regards,
Vaishali.
Edited by: vaishali rautray on Dec 24, 2008 7:52 AM

Hi Saumya,
Thanks for the quick reply.
For storing the Minimum and maximum annual salary values I have created two attributes in the business object which are referring to database fields. T510N is a customizing table. I could see the values for the same, if I test the Business Object or Trigger the w/f in R/3 and check the approval work item in R/3. These values disappears only in case of web interfacing i.e. If I send the same work item to outlook mail or check it in UWL.
I had checked the same and thought if there is any problem with BO or some other processing takes place before these values are retrieved. But I wonder why this happens only if I process the work item outside R/3 system?
Regards,
Vaishali.
