UWL displays details of the previous work item:

Hi Folks: I have posted this query in the EP Implementation forum but no response yet. Please see if anyone can advise
If a user opens a work-item in the UWL, closes the browser window, and then opens another item on the UWL list, the new window still pops up the details of the previous work item. I tried looking at the cache parameters but with no luck.
The undesirable workaround to the above problem is to refresh the page every minute via the parameter refresh="60" in the uwl.standard file in the
View name= DefaultView
Can someone advise a possible fix?
Best Regards,

Hi,
As far as showing the name of the previous processor in the UWL is concerned, i believe its not possible, as Harsimran says. But there can be various workarounds.
One is that in the second action of the process, you can give a text area or some input field in the callable object; the second processor can write something in this field, and this field can then be mapped to third screen, which tells the 3rd processor that it has been reviewed.
Another neat solution is that, make a callable object of type:
User Management -> Read User Information
This callable object extracts the user information from the user who has logged into the portal and returns a lot of other information like firstname, lastname etc as output parameters. You can map these parameters to your third action and use it to display some message, say:
The review has been done by <FirstName>
Reward points if it helps.

Failed to handle workitem...the instance/work item may be closed already.

I'm getting the following error in BPEL logs, can anybody tell me what the problem might be?
<PerformMessageHandler::handleLocal> Processing workitem perform message 7207-BpTer4-BpSwt1.29-1 for domain default
<AbortMessageHandler::handleLocal> Processing abort message 7207 for domain default

Toby

Interestingly, the process is still listed as being active in the BPELConsole:
7207 : Instance #7207 of BPNAME
I can then manually abort the instance, and BPELConsole removes it from the list of active instances, and identifies it with a red cross in the list of historical instances.

Previous work items agent

Guys,
I have a main work flow which calls a sub workflow
First step of the sub workflow is a decision step. in that decision step i want to sepcify the agent as the same one which completed the last step of the main workflow..
can you tell me what standard container variable do i need to use..

Dear Ravi,
Create a method in your BO. In that method include the logic for getting the previous workitem id and pass it to SWWWIHEAD before user decision.
Now use this method in task of your activity step. Make the task as background processing by enabling the check box inside task. As per the logic receive the last processed agent id in a workflow container element (say last_agent)
Once you enable this you need not assign any user to activity and it will not break the user decision process. Now in user decision step in expression press F4. You will see the element last_agent. Make it as the agent and you will get the desired output.

Can I force UWL iview to get the updated task items when first visit

Hi all:
We are implementing EP7 on aix. Currently UWL iView will not display the updated items when first click on. Only when I click on the tasks tab, it will display the updated items. I change set keepItemCountUpdated tag to Yes, but it doesnot work.
Can we force the UWL iview to connect to backend to get the updated items when it is first launch ?

Have a look at the properties of the UWL iView, for example "Wait duration before calling providers on loading of UWL" and similar properties.
You could try setting these to lower numbers to hurry up the initial update.......

Repetitive Work Items for the same trip in UWL

Hi Experts,
Every time user clicks on save and send button , work flow gets triggered and work item is sent to user's UWL.
For the same trip no multiple workitem are appearing in approver's uwl.
Please suggest how we can restrict one work item at a time.
Regards,
Kamal

Dear Surjit,
1) Create a parallel fork, in the starting point of the workflow. In one branch put all the step which you developed.
It was already created.
2) In another step, create a "Wait for Event", in this call the change event.
I changed from Created Event to Changed Event.
But still the previous work item is not getting completed.
When I have checked in SWEL.
When I changed the Travel Expense then 2 events are trigerred.
i) Changed
ii) Created
Work Item is trigerred through Created Event.
Do we need to map the Work flow object with Events somewhere ?

Delete Work Item from PO Releaser's Inbox during Workflow

Hi All
How can I delete the previous Work Item that was created in the PO Releaser's Inbox if a PO was changed which re-triggered the PO Release workflow but this time to a different PO Releaser.
The workflow is working correctly, i.e. creating the new release item in the new releaser'd Inbox but not deleting the old Work Item for the previous releaser.
Any idea on how I can accomplish this?
Kind Regards
Utian Goliath

PLease refer the below stuff................create a task and put the code inside the method.This task should be fisrt step in your workflow.
User sets doc to Complete from FBV2 , Complete event triggered and workflow triggered.
Workitem goes to approver .
Now , the user immediately changes doc from FBV2 , sets it to Complete again and workflow triggered
workitem goes to the same approver for the same document.
SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_TO_OBJECT - Worklist table will giv all parent id's for the object key concatenation of
com code , doc no and fiscal year.
SWP_WORKFLOW_INSTANCE_DELETE - Pass the parent id and will delete the entire instance but not
parent workitem id.
SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_DELETE - Pass parent id everything will be deleted .( Check_final_state = blank ).
No trace found in SWI14 and SWI2_FREQ.
To remove the previous workitem , create a method in the begining of the workflow , use F.M.
SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_TO_OBJECT to get the workflow id's and then
SWP_WORKFLOW_INSTANCE_DELETE or SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_DELETE to delete the previous instance.

Second way is to create a fork , and use wait for event step in it with the same event that is triggering the WFL
In the same branch take a process control to end workflow instance.
In the second branch carry out normal processing.
Necessary branch = 1.
So incase the user triggers the event again, a new instance will be created ,
and in the previous instance , the first branch will follow ending the
previous instance and the workitems of other branch will be logically deleted.

Work item not getting displayed in the portal

Hi experts,
We are creating a protoype for one of the standard HCM form for change in working time. When we initiate the process, the workflow is supposed to identify the agent(which is the manager in this case) and push the work item in the inbox of the manager.
In our issue, we are able to see the workitem in SAP inbox, but the same work item is not getting displayed in the portal.
If we try to approve from the SAP inbox, the hard coded message u201CWork item can only be executed using the Portal and the UWLu201D comes. [this comes through the method of one of the tasks 17900101 which we are using for approving the form]
We commented the message by using a Z class. Now we donu2019t get the hardcoded message, but still the workflow does not complete from here.
Can this be aan integration issue of the workflow tasks with the portal??Can someone elaborate on this??

<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS17900101.SAP_ECC" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="default">
 <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_ECC" externalType="TS17900101" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>

You have to say to your portal team to modify their XML file as above. In simple you hvae to configure the task in the portal and in the SWFVISU txn as follows with the following vizualization parameters

Hi,
You can call the iView directly by using NavigationTarget..
http://myServer:50000/irj/portal?
NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/myFolder/myRole/myIview
Plz note that the iView you are calling should be part of a Role.
And the PCD location of the iView in the Role must be given for Navigation Target.

Amending List content (deleteing & renaming) - Effect on previous created work items/reporting

Hi,
I going to be changing the naming and structure of support groups and incident tier groups. I'd like to know what effect this has on all previously created work items and the reporting on those work items.
In addition, I am also adding list items to impact and risk list to change incident prioritisation settings and want to know the effect it will have on the live work items and historical work items.
Cheers,
Pete

When you're thinking about editing enums in a live system, it's important to know a little but about how they work on the back end.
each enumeration entry essentially breaks down into a GUID and a display string; there are other properties, like Parent, Ordinal, InternalName etc, but those don't come in right now. when you use a console form to look at an incident, the control reads
the GUID that is stored on the incident in the property in question, and then goes and collects the list that property references, and shows you the correct display string for your language. the specifics are not important, but the fact that what's stored
on the incident is that system generated GUID is. when you edit a list, each entry has a unique GUID, that can't be changed or seen through the UI.
Adding a new entry will add a new guid and a new display string. this option will be available the next time the form is opened. this works pretty much the way you would expect it to.
Renaming an enumeration keeps the GUID the same, but changes the display string. any incident with that GUID will see the new string, and the data warehouse will be updated with the new string, so
historical incidents that had that value will now have the new display string.
Deleting an enumeration will remove the entry from the list and break the mapping of that guid to the display string, but does nothing to the incidents that have that guid on them. the net-net of this is that any incident with that guid
will have a value (i.e. not null) but it won't have anything to show to analysts, so it will look like it isn't set. the datawarehouse keeps those mappings even after they are deleted, so removing a mapping will not affect reporting.
the end of this is that you should re-classify any items before deleting an enumeration, you should only rename an enumeration if that new name makes sense for all work items for all of history. it is possible to reorder enumerations while keeping their
GUIDs, but it requires some XMLing. I've posted about it elsewhere in this forum, so let me know if you need a link

Hide some work items in UWL

Hi,
I have configured UWL in a portal and everything is working fine. But I want only to show some of the users work items from the inbox - work items from particular standard tasks should not be viewed.
How can I filter out some of the workitems and in this way only show work items where we know that UWL covers the functionality we need?
I have tried choosing 'None' for the task in transaction SWFVISU - re-register and clear cache - but without any luck.

Hi Claus,
You may also try implementing the BADI WF_BWP_SELECT_FILTER for workitem filtering in SAP Inbox / Business Workplace.
Refer to the Site: /people/bv.pillai/blog/2006/10/12/filtering-the-work-items-in-sap-business-workplace-workflow-inbox for more details.
Does this help you?

Problem with executing work item from the inbox

Hello All,
I'm able to send mails from R/3 to Outlook along with the attachment to execute the work item directly from the outlook.
However upon clicking the Exectute work Item.sap file I get an sap gui popup with the description " Not all data for SAP GUI shortcut is available. System description and GUI start parameter are unknown. Entering the missing data."
Clicking on the OK button, leads to another window for SAP logon details. After I chose the right system and on Clicking OK, it opens up the logon prompt. Entering the logo info opens up the work item correctly.
We are on ECC 5.0 with SAP GUI 640 patch level 18 on it. Any suggestions about what am I missing to directly jump into an sap screen provided a session already is open in SAP.
Thanks and Regards
Uday

Hello Uday,
Sounds like something is wrong in the SAPLogon on the client PC. The system sends out a shortcut, and when it's opened it does not relate to a unique entry in the saplogon. Either it's called differently or you have two entries for the same system with different parameters.
Hope that helps,
Mike
