UWL Item action url

Hello Experts,
I have created a Webdynpro application in which i have the UWL Items. I am able to read all the properties of the items.
But I don't know how to create the URL for the specific ITEMS, to open the item, when clicked.
Can you please provide me information of how to create the specific Item URLs, which i can link to the Item.

That would look like this.

Hi,
So you have created your own "custom made UWL"? Did I understand correctly? And you want to launch other applications from it? This depends on the type of application you want to lanch. It will be different for web dynpro, BSP, etc.? You might want to ask this from different forums. If you need to launch another abap web dynpro application, you can do it with CL_WD_UTILITIES=>CONSTRUCT_WD_URL (but this is if your custom made UWL is made with web dynpro ABAP. If you have a custom Java Web Dynpro application, you need to check the UWL programming API (which I guess you should be already familiar, if you managed to create a custom UWL with Java).
Or did I understand it all wrong?

Opening a Portal page from UWL item's click

Hi,
I have written a custom UWL connector that connects to 3rd party system to fetch tasks.
This custom connector has been registered with UWL and tasks from this 3rd party system are now appearing in my UWL.
The requirement is to open a Portal page on click of these UWL items.
That is, when user clicks on this custom UWL item, a Portal page should be opened in new window.
I tried setting item's executionURL to following (inside getItems() method of connector) : -
1. https://myportal.com/irj/portal?navigationtarget=roles://portal_content/com.mycompanyPurchaising/com.mycompany.Purchase_Request/com.mycompany.Roles/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purchaseRequest
2. https://myportal.com/irj/portal?navigationtarget=roles://portal_content/com.mycompany.Purchaising/com.mycompany.Purchase_Request/com.mycompany.Roles/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purchaseRequest&target="_blank"
3. Set Quick link property of corresponding page and then set executionURL as: -
https://myportal.com/irj/portal/purchaserequest
Issue being faced: -
When user clicks on this UWL item, it opens following URL which just displays blank portal page: -
https://myportal.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prteventname/navigate/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.mycompany.layout.PortalLayoutFolder!2fcom.mycompany.layout.DesktopFolder!2fmycompanyDesktop!2fframeworkPages!2fframeworkpage!2fcom.sap.portal.innerpage!2fcom.sap.portal.contentarea?NavigationTarget=ROLES%3A%2F%2Fportal_content%2Fcom.mycompany.Purchaising%2Fcom.mycompany.Purchase_Request%2Fcom.mycompany.iViews%2Fcom.mycompany.purchaseRequest&CurrentWindowId=WID1326775699455&NavMode=1
Any idea what is going wrong here?
I am not able to figure out what & from where its preparing above URL instead of opening the URL that I specified in Connector's executionURL attribute.

Amey

Issue was with iView that I was trying to open in DEV portal.
It worked fine in TEST & PROD portals.
Hence, NavigationTarget=<> approach works fine.

Remove Hyper link from UWL ITems

Hi All,
How to remove Hyperlink from the UWL items list? Is that possible?
I have list of tasks in UWL and I do not want to give hyper link to the end users since they already ahve "View Detail" Button on UWL, Please help how to hide or remove hyper link?
Thanks
Krishna

In the UWL configuration, you specify the default action for a UWL item using the attribute "defaultAction".
This default action is performed when you click on the UWL item.
You can set any of the available actions as the default action for the UWL item.
As mentioned by Karri, it is usually not common to disable the hyperlink of a UWL item and make it non-clickable.
However, if you would like to achieve this, you can identify and check the UWL configuration file being used for the given UWL item and modify it as below:
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.decision.TS20000999.MYUWL_SYSTEM" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="yourDefaultView" defaultAction="dummyAction" executionMode="default">
<ItemTypeCriteria
Since dummyAction is something UWL doesn't recognize, the hyperlink should be disabled.
You might have to do this for all the UWL item types you use.
Thanks,
Shanti

The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information using Update Item action

I got error "The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information "I found out the cause is Update Item action
I need to update item in another List call Customer Report ,the field call "Issues" with data type "Choice" to yes
then the error arise . please help..

Thanks for the quick response Nikhil.
Our SPF 2010 server is relatively small to many setups I am sure. The list with the issue only has 4456 items and there are a few associated lists, eg lookups, Tasks, etc see below for count.
Site Lists
Engagements = 4456 (Errors on this list, primary list for activity)
Tasks = 7711 (All workflow tasks from all site lists)
Clients = 4396 (Lookup from Engagements, Tslips, etc)
Workflow History = 584930 (I periodically run a cleanup on this and try to keep it under 400k)
Tslips = 3522 (Engagements list can create items here, but overall not much interaction between lists)
A few other lists that are used by workflows to lookup associations that are fairly static and under 50 items, eg "Parters Admin" used to lookup a partners executive admin to assign a task.

Automator 2.2 "Copy Finder Items" Action Error

Hello all,
When I try to create an Automator workflow that finds a type of file (pdf) in a nested folder structure and copies those files to another folder - essentially extracting the pdfs from their nested folders - I get an error message.
1) I use the "find Finder items" action. I specify the top-level folder and set the kind to "document"
2) It returns 56 items
3) I use "copy Finder items" action and specify a new folder
4) The copy action fails stating that a given file "couldn't be saved in the folder". It does not always error-out on the same file. Changing or creating a new folder doesn't help.
I have tried this under two user accounts with the same result. I have tried deleting preferences. The same error results.
Any ideas?
I am running 10.7.1 on a 15" MacBook Pro, early 2011.

I was having the same issue.
I found another solution: instead of copying files, you could move files.
1) Duplicate your original folder (unless you want to move/extract your files entirely to the new folder) (right click the folder and select duplicate)
2) Create a new folder as the destiny folder
3) Open automator and use the following actions (in order) on the workflow
- Find Finder Itens (browse to your source folder; select "any"; select "extension"; select "end with"; type "pdf") (you can do the same thing with the actions "get specified finder items" combined with "filter finder items")
- Get Folder Contents (and mark repeat for each subfolder found) (use this action if you have subfolders)
- Move Finder Itens (browse to your destination folder, that you created previously)
Now you can delete the duplicated folder.

SSRS Action URL via javascript:void(window.open doesn't work in IE

Hi,
I am using the following code to open "google.com.au"
in a pop-up window through SSRS Report -> Action -> URL
="javascript:void(window.open('"+
"http://www.google.com.au/" +
"','_blank','scrollbars=true,status=true'))"
The script work fine in Chrome and FireFox but not IE ( we are using IE 11.0 ), any idea what's going wrong?
( When we click on it ; Nothing appear in IE )
Thanks.

Hi Yu,
1. We are using SQL Server SSRS 2008 R2 in IE 11.0.9600.17501 environment ( Means we already have the latest IE 11 Patch )
2. Did you try put in Javascript in SSRS Cell -> Placeholder Properties -> Action -> URL?
i.e. ="javascript:void(window.open('"+ "http://www.google.com.au/" + "','_blank','scrollbars=true,status=true'))"
3. All reports are having the same phenomenon.
4. I used F12 and tried IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10 all same ( ALL couldn't POP UP window ).
5. Please refer to attachment, I found out that when I go to Cell -> Right click -> Inspect Element & change
target="_top" to
target="_self" then the problem gone.
BUT... how to set target="_self" in SSRS?

Struts portlet: generating rewritten action URL inside javascript

I'm migrating a standalone struts application written for WL 8.1 to WL 10.3 portal environment. The idea is to make a portlet out of the struts app. I've got the application almost working, url rewriting works beautifully by using *<html:link action=...>* in jsps with the weblogic struts-adapter taglibs. But now I have a problem with the incorporated javascripts... For example I'm using a script to submit a html:form and in the script I'm trying to call an action like so:
*function submit() {*
document.myForm.action = "action_string";
document.myForm.submit();
return true;
The problem is that I can't use the struts action name as usual (action.do) since that would lead to a standalone page instead of the portal desktop view. WL portal has a rewriter that translates the individual application action URLs to portal URLs so that the uniform view remains as the user interact with the applications. Now my question is: Is there a way to invoke this URL rewriter somehow to do the rewriting for action for me or alternatively, is there a way to get all the URL blocks so I can build the line myself?
The trick is that I need to get this URL dynamically, so that if I rename the struts module or the portlet, I don't have to update all my javascripts as well. The portal URI that I need is of form (dynamic parts with bold):
/ contextPath / portalDescriptionFile.portal ?_nfpb=true& _windowLabel= portlet_x & portlet_x _actionOverride=%2F moduleName %2FactionName& portlet_x method=methodName
So far I've been able to get the portlet label (portlet_x) with a scriptlet:
*<%*
PortletPresentationContext portletPresentationContext = PortletPresentationContext.getPortletPresentationContext(request);
portletPresentationContext.getInstanceLabel();
*%>*
I can also get the moduleName and contextPath, but not the the rest. So at minimum I would need a way to dynamically get the "+path+" before the "+query+" as in "+/contextPath/path?query+". The "+query+" I can construct with the info I have if necessary.
Can anyone help me with this?
If someone knows a good API page for WL 10.3 portal/portlets where I could look for more internal objects (like PortletPresentationContext) containing the data I need, that would also be a great help!

When constructing links, you have to use the pdk-specific struts tags, for example:
<pdk-struts-html:link href="/portal/menuPage.do">Also, you need to use the pdk struts tag library:
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/pdk-struts-html.tld" prefix="pdk-struts-html" %>Peter

"Get Specified Finder Items" action and aliases

The Get Specified Finder Items action doesn't seem to work on aliases. That is, instead of selecting an alias, it selects the original file to which that alias points.
Any work-around?
(And, a bug, no?)

When you get the value of a variable, the result is added to the item list - for example:
1) Get Specified Finder Item {various file items}
2) Get Value of Variable {previous file items}
3) View Results --> the results of both of the above actions
