UWL iView customization

Hi
In the UWL iView i would like to remove the Alerts, Notification and the tarcking tabs. I just want to keep the tasks tab.
Can anyone please help in customising the UWL iview to reflect these changes.
Thanks
Henry

Hi Henry,
check the xml configuration file below. It defines a new navigation strucutre. Basically, it is the default navigation structure but without the tabs alerts and notifications. The id (name) is: MyNavigationStructure.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE UWLConfiguration PUBLIC '-//SAP//UWL1.0//EN' 'uwl_configuration.dtd'

        </NavigationNode>
      </NavigationNode>

      </NavigationNode>
    </NavigationNode>
</NavigationNode>
</UWLConfiguration>
Upload this file under a custom name (for example com.mycompany.uwl.navigation) and set the property "useNavigationId" in your UWL iView to "MyNavigationStructure".

it possible to use bpm uwl or mdm uwl iview instead of standatd uwl?

Hi thanks for reply.
issue not solve yet...
i just joined organization, it has standard UWL. And in last oragnization i seen advance UWL which showing details of item, add note, attachment while approve n reject.
I am developer. n some where i seen advance UWL and BPM n MDM iview showing advance falicity of approve n reject.

Thanks Beth.
Problem with UWL iView path now I corrected it and could see preview of uwl. I have identified few issue on this context -
One is, when I see the preview of sap given standard uwl page (content provided by sap -> end user content -> ....Universal worklist) I could see default view with 5 tabs, where as if I assign eu_role or eu_core_role to user then browse Home -> work -> Universal Worklist then I could see single tab named "Open Items" alone.
We are using sap standard configurations and no customization had done, and more over working on BPM so I have checked uwl.standard.xml & uwl.bpem.xml configuration files with Q system where UWL UI and functinality is working fine.
Here my question is, Is the problem with eu_role & eu_core_role..or how come in run time UI is changing.
Second one is, If I tried to check system connection by click on Display Connection Status at UWL page getting error - Page not found or not available I am not sure where to check this.
I assigned Process viewer as related link to uwl page, If I open that link getting error as No autorization and the same error even to see preview at iView level as well. usr having BPEM End user role.
http://xyz.abcd.com:52100/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fevery_user!2fcom.sap.bpem!2fcom.sap.bpem.pages!2fcom.sap.bpem.ProcessListViewer?sap-config-mode=true
Now I have created a cusome role with sap standard UWL page. I have assigned role to user and could see standard UWL now. But still I coulln't test system connection.
Highly appreciated your inputs on this..because project is in crusial stage.
Thanks in advance,
Ian

Issue with Refresh link avaiable in standard UWL iView

Hi All,
We have added the custom column "Comment" in the Tasks tab of UWL iView.In the Tasks tab we can view some rows in the table.When we click on one row it is opening the ABAP ADOBe forms.In this Form when we change the text for the field Comment and click on save button in adobe form then we can see the new text in SWI1 tcode for the work item id. But in portal the new text is not appearing in the custom comment column.If we click on Refresh link (this link is the standard link available in UWL iview) also the new text is not appearing.
After clearing UWL Cashe from System Admin role after that we can able to see the new text in the comment column.
If in Adobe form after changing the text we click on Check and Send button then on portal UWL automatically new text is appearing in commnet column.In this case no UWL cacshe release is required.
Please find the attched document
Can you please provide me the inputs why refersh link is not working to show the updated /modifiedd text in the comment column?

While Accessing UWL iviews - Issues with PCD Paths.

Hello All,
We Are using EP 7.0 SP 18.
I am trying to access the UWL iview with two different paths.
Path1 :--> http://xxxx:50xxx/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fevery_user!2fgeneral!2feu_core_role!2fcom.sap.uwl.home_core_ws!2fcom.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.overview!2fcom.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.uwl_page!2fcom.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.uwl_iview
For Path1 UWL iview is opening in a new Window with out Portal Frame Work page(i.e with out TLN and DTN).But if click on any task , the respective task information popup is opening with Portal Frame work page , TLN,DTN. The Task information is Showing in Content Area Part.
Path2 : --> http://xxx:50xxx/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=pcd:portal_content/every_user/general/eu_core_role/com.sap.uwl.home_core_ws/com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.overview/com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.uwl_page/com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.uwl_iview
For Path2 UWL is opening in a new Window With Portal Frame Work Page(With TLN ,DTN), but if i click on any task , the respective task infomation popup is opening in Simple Task infomation Window With out any Portal FrameWork Page(No DTN,TLN)
I wanted to know what is the Difference between these two portal paths? Which Property is Controlling the Portal Frame work page for these Popup's.
And also How to give the path in the Portal-app.xml [ property name ="xxx" , value = "pcd:portal_content/----
While we retrive with profile.getProperty(" xxx ").
Please Specify any prefixes we need to mention in the Portal-app.xml Value attribute ????
My Requirement is to task Information Popup Not to open with Portal FrameWork Pages (i.e wtih Masthead, TLN, DTN)

Problem in UWl Iview transport

Dear Experts,
This is Raji.I am trying to tranport the UWL page and UWl iview.I ahev added these objects to Transport Package. If i click on Export button , i can see the added PCd objects are nothing. I can see only the blank transport package.
Steps performed :
1. I have copied the standard UWL iview in to my own folder as a copy( not the delta link).I have changes the iview properties according to my requrirement.
2. I have copied the standard UWL page also in to my own folder and assigned my above customized UWL iview to this page.
3. added these objects to Transport Package clicked on Export. ...................> now there are no PCD objects availble in the transport package.
Appriciate your help.
Raji.

hi Raji,
This is because you have to change the id of the iview, page and roles which is to be transported.
Merely copying the standard (iview/pages/roles ) into the custom folder will not help.
Hope this help.

Pravesh.

UWL Iview getting 500 Internal Server Error

Hi All,
We have Uwl iview which is connected to R/3 system and its works fine. But if the user leaves the UWL session for more than 30 mins its get an message:
" Web dynproapplicatie 'UWL' past. Start application again. Launch iView again via "Refresh" in iview vak or knowp browser 'Refresh' "
Portal cookie is still active, User can navigate to other applications easily, I want to know why this message is appearing and how can we increase the duraction.?
Cache Value parameters under UWL service are:
Default Cache Validity Period, in Minutes:5
Timeout Value for the Connected Systems, in Seconds: * 30
Regards
Parth

Hey Parth,
check the note recommended by Ladislav i.e. 842635 and also check note 842878.
I would suggest you to check the backend system parameters about the session timeout related things through RZ10/RZ11.
The param is "rdisp/gui_auto_logout".
You can configure the HTTP session timeout using the web.xml descriptor. Session configuration u2013 Session timeout field.
You can get this file from the following location:
\usr\sap\<EP_SID>\j2ee\j2ee_01\cluster\server\services\servlet_jsp\work\jspTemp\irj\root\WEB-INF\web.xml
You have to restart your portal to ttake this effect.
Hope it helps.

UWL Screen customization

We just upgraded from EP 6. Sp12 to EP 7 SP11. The UWL changed just a little bit and our stakeholder wants to know if we could change one item back to what it use to be. Essentially, the 'Refresh' button has been turned into a hyperlink and moved to the right side of the screen. We would like to convert it back to a button.
I have been doing a lot of research but I can not find any documentation on how to do this. Anyone able to help me out with this?

Thanks Shaun,
We had to add the entry <i><Action reference="refresh"/></i> to the UWL configuration XML file before it would even show up under the menu icon.
I wonder if there is something that could be done in the XML to make it appear as a button. At the moment I would be happy to just get the hyperlink as you are seeing it........
Is the UWL iView that you are using called pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/general/iViews/com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.iviews/com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.uwl_iview?

UWL iView in Sharepoint: Popup shows TLN

We are displaying the Unviversal Worklist (UWL) iView in Sharepoint. Whenever an item therein is clicked, the resulting Popup displays the DTN (Detailed Navigation) and TLN (Top-level Navigation) in the Popup and displays the content in the Content Area.
My assumption is that this is happening because the UWL item Popup window has no Navigation Context.
Does anyone have any ideas on how we can make the item Popup like it does in SAP Enterprise Portal i.e. No TLN or DTN, but just the content in the Popup window?
Thanks.

Simon, what we found is that when we add the Dynamic Property it doesn't append the URL with a URL parameter, but just appends a value pair to the "DynamicProperty" URL parameter. So the Dynamic Property of "NavMode=3" didn't work when I tried it.
I looked at the properties of the iView and there's nothing about Popups of items displaying the TLN/DTN or not.
Again, I don't think its a matter of setting a property to toggle the Nav display. It works just fine straight out of SAP Enterprise Portal. The problem exists only when the UWL iView is housed in Sharepoint. So, again, I feel its more related to the Navigation Context being unknown, though I am open to all suggestions.
Thanks for brainstorming this with me.

Custom Filter for Date on UWL iview

Hello Experts-
I want to display previously approved tasks and current tasks in a UWL iview.
As of now in the iview the taks which are displayed are the one which are pending.
For this I am planning to add a custom filter to my UWL iview.
Can anyone point me some documentation on this? Or Is there any other way to display previously approved tasks or timesheets?
Please let me know.
Any helpful repsonses are appreciated with points.
-Raj.

Hi Raj,
I think its not possible to display previously approved tasks.
If we take example for tasks like Leave Requests or Travel Requests ---
When users raise the leave request it triggers the Work Flow in R3 and it goes to
SAP Inbox of Manager (R3) for Approval.
Now UWL fetches all the task those are in SAP Inbox , UWL does not stores it anywhere.
Aa soon as tasks get approved it goes out of SAP Inbox.
So its not possible to to show it in UWL again.
Same case with GP task , One the GP taks gets approved it will not come to UWL.
Regardas,
Piyush

Portal iview Customization for Webdynpro Java CTRL+ Right Click in Preview

Hi Team,
I am able to hide some Web Dynpro UI elements from Portal Content Administration >> Web Dynpro iView >> Preview and by Pressing CTRL+RIGHT CLICK.
Here I need to understand the concept like how things work in this case. If we hide some UI in Web Dynpro Java iView customization will there not be any RFC/BAPI calls associated with that particular UI
For Example: Web Dynpro iView is made up of CompA and CompB and I am going to hide the UI associated with CompA. When I invoke the application will there not be any activity like invoking CompA calling associated RFC/BAPI etc related to CompA
Please help me in understand the concepts and performance implications on this.
Regards
Sudhir

Hi Sudhir,
Great Question! :-)... I am not 100% sure, but my guess would be that you would still see the associated BAPI/RFC calls since the "hiding" of the fields is purely a UI feature done using the Portal PCD.
However you can of course test this for your scenario, by running an RFC trace for your user in the ECC system and then run the WDJ application and see if you see the RFC calls or not (more or less depending on the hidden/visible status of your component).
Hope that helps,
Simon

UWL iView Properties...

Hi all,
I'm Using EP7.0 and SP16.I copied the UWL iView from this location (content provided by Sap --> End User Content --> Standard Portal User --> iViews --> com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.iviews --> Universal Worklist).
Changed the iView Properties:
Display UWL Overview Page = Yes
Initial state of Navigation Panel = close
That iView works fine.. It displays the Overview look and feel and also hide the Detailed navigation part..
My Problem is
when i click the link (Tasks, Notification, Alerts and Tracking) in the Oveview page, it opens the corresponding Tab look and feel and open the Detailed Navigation part.. i want to close the Detailed Navigation part of the Tab iView also..
what can i do? how to achieve this? please help me..
Regards
Thillai J

Hi All,
Solution:
Goto this location
Portal content > Portal User> Standard Portal User > Universal Worklist> Task
Open the Task iView and close the Initial State of Navigation Panel. Its automatically close the Naviagtion Panel when we click the links in the UWL overview iView.
