UWL: Manage substitutes - iview pcd

Hi experts,
My client wants to have a new service on SAP ESS / MSS Portal that would link to "Manage Substitutes in UWL". Yes, it is available on the UWL, but it is quite difficult to users understand where they have to click to manage theirs' substitutions.
Is it possible to get this iview pcd (I didn't find it) and create a new service that would link to this application?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
AS

Hi,
yes, what you want to do is possible. As Siddarth mentioned, there is no Standard iView for this particular component, but you can simply make a custom iView.
Create a new iView from WebDynpro JAVA Template. Fill the following properties:
Namespace: sap.com/tckmcbc.uwl.ui~wd_ui
Application: UWLSubstitution
Then integrate it into a Portal Role, maintain Homepage Framework in case you use it, etc.
I had the same problem like you and did it this way, because the Substitutor button on the UWL really is a joke. "Accessibility", eh?
Cheers, Lukas

Configuring the UWL Manage Substitution Rules

Hi,
I have a need to be able to add at least one more additional columns/fields to the Manage Substitute Rules/My Substitute Rules, Search For People/Current Selection and the General Data screens of the UWL Manage Substitutions Rules.
Is this a configurable feature/option in that can I add extra fields to the different fields?
The reason for this requirement is that my current client is implementing SAPs Concurrent Employment in their ECC 6 and SRM 5.0 systems. This decision is causing all sorts of challenges.
If a person wants to define a substitute in the UWL, when they select the Search For People, we want to display an additional column that displays the position/job description for each person within the organization. This would make it easier to select the correct instance of a person if that person had multiple display entries in the selection list. For example if the system returns Joe Cole Soccer Player; Joe Cole Librarian and Joe Cole Accountant and the person wanted to select Joe Cole Librarian, they would have the required information to make the selection.
Thanks,
Jerry

Catches here are:
1. Passing data from UWL to Transaction Iview.
2. Data is dynamic i.e. is entered by user through web dynpro screen.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for reply. But i am not understanding the solution provided by you. I think these are ABAP FM and are used user management. I am working in Netweaver environment CE7.1.1.

Can't get toolbar to display on knowledge management document iview..?

Hi All,
We're using MSS 60.1.20. I have created a number of iviews based on documents stored in KM. These documents are process forms used by management and so need to be saved and printed, therefore I need to display these documents with a toolbar.
So, no matter which option I select in the 'Launch in New Window' attribute on the iview, the toolbar does not appear.
Also I've tried adding 'toolbars=yes' in the Window Features attribute of the iview but it makes no difference.
Is its the case that for knowledge management document iviews that toolbars do not appear as standard?
Thanks in advance,
Liz.

Hi
It looks like you need to update a line of your css and take out align attribute from your markup for problamatic table. Please do following:
1- page1.css : Line 15: take out following line which says : background-position: center top;
2- Please modify your following markup:
<td width="995" valign="top" class="center_column">
<table width="995" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="center">
To:
<td width="995" valign="top" class="center_column">
<table width="995" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0" >

Activity Management Java iViews displaying No Data Obtained

Activity Management Java iViews displaying No Data Obtained. In our portal we are using several SAP delivered Java iViews. All of them work in our QA environment except the Activity Management ones.
However, they DO work in our development. Does anyone know what we are missing in the backend configuration that would cause the Activity Management Java iViews to display "No Data Obtained"
Thanks.

Hi Gregor
The User is assigned to a business partner. I'm not familiar with CRM's Org Management structure, so if I had to ask this question to someone that is, what should I ask specifically?
Advanced search doesn't provide an option for "My Team" but it does for "My Group" is that the same thing? And when I do a search on that criteria I do get results. Another question is even if there weren't any results shouldn't the iView still say "No entries exist" similar to the "My Teams Open Leads"?
Thanks,
Julian

Files downloaded from the KM have iView pcd location instead of filename

Hello,
I have created a Filesystem Repository manager and a KM Document that reference one of the excel file over there. The problem is that when a user opens the iView and saves the file the suggested name is not the filename but this one:
pcd!3aportal_content!2fgpd_content!2fvalrep_content!2froles!2fZGPD_VALREP_US1!2f00000005!2f00000006!2fZGPD_VALREP_US1_00000007
which is the entire iView location in the pcd...
Any idea how can I change it to be the file name?

The server can send a suggested filename though the HTTP "Content-Disposition" header Apparently, the IView you are using doesn't do that (not sure whether this is part of KM or the portal).
PS: sadly, one specific very popular browser doesn't support this properly for non-ASCII characters, so it's non-trivial to get this working properly with all browsers.

Nwdi-managed access of pcd-objects from java web dynpro

Hi,
im am trying to access portal pcd-objects from a java web dynpro component (namely getting and setting personalized iview properties). for locally managed web dynpro components this works fine with the code below.
when i try the same with a nwdi managed web dynpro component i run into problems regarding references to used dcs. for instance, i need to reference used dc SAP_JTECHS/tc/epbc/pcm/adminapi/java because the build needs tcepbcpcmadminapijava.jar which is inside the mentioned dc. but access permissions of this dc don't allow the dependency. when i try to "add used dc ..." in nwds i get the error message: illegal dependency: access list does not allow use of ...
has someone any solution for this problem? are there other ways of accessing pcd-objects from java web dynpro (nwdi managed!)?

Hi Kust,
To access the PCD objects the code you used looks ok for me but your main issues is related to the dc access permissions. This thread discussed about the similar issue. Please review this below thread.

UWL Manage Substitutions

Hello,
I am on EP 7.0 ECC 6.0 and having a problem when a manager wants to create a substitute for himself in the Portal UWL to approve Time and Expense .
When the user goes to Manage Substitution Rules-> Create Rule->Select the person to be the substitute .
Now when assigning the Tasks for the substitute the 4 options are :
Time Expense PCR and ALL
User wanted to have an option as: Time and Expense in the DropDown ..I added that by doing the configuration in SPRO ....now there are 5 options but when the user selects the Expense only it is not working but when the user selects Time and Expense ..only Time entries are visible to the Substitute not the expense....so everything except Expense is working.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hello Sudhir,
Thanks for the reply. This is what I did:
And this is what I did:
Gone to SPRO->SAP Netweaver -> Application server -> Business Management -> SAP Business Workflow -> Basic Settings -> Substitue Profile -> Assign
Substitute Profile ...before creating an entry here it asked me to create an entry in the Table T77RP...so gone to se16 and created an entry first there as 0007 and Time and Expense..then gone back to the same path in SPRO-> Assign Substitue Profile and created 2 entries there as:
sub. profile Classification
0007 4(for Expense)
0007 5(for Time)
then gone to Define Substitute Profile and created an entry as:
0007 Time and Expense.
Please let me know if I have done anything wrong and what could be the cause of the problem.
Looking forward to your reply.

Difference between My Procurement Substitutes and Manage Substitute rules

Hello,
I have question regarding SRM 7.0 Substitution for Shopping cart approval workflow. We have defined Process Controlled Workflow (BRF) for Shopping carts.
There are two ways substitution which i am seeing.
1) Go under Personalization --> User Account --> "My Procurement Substitutes" and then add Person as substitute.
2) Under Work item There is tab called "Manage Substitution Rules"
Could you please advise what would be suitable option to place Substitution once some approver is going on vacation...
Thank you
Ritesh

Hello,
Procurement substitutes are linked to team purchasing functionality. Check the following link:

Enterprise Compensation management Planning iView

Hello,
We're busy implementing ECM for ECC6 and Portal 7. On the Compensation Planning iView and page, there is a link to 'Show Statistics' and according to SAP's formal documentation, this could be eliminated from the page/iView, if the user so desired.
The iView has no recognizable property for this functionality to be put on or off.
Does anyone have an idea where this could be disabled?
Help with be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Charmaine

Hi,
We actually had a customer message opened for this with SAP. Please follow below steps (you'll need the Self-Service role):
1. Select the Define Perspectives for the ECM Planning FPM Application.
a. Portal Content->Content Provided by SAP->srvconfig->com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.mss->Enterprise Compensation Management->FPM Applications-> ECM Planning
2. Select the CAP View tab.
3. Select the Additional Information CAP item and Delete.
4. Select the Plan perspective. Select the Show Statistics CAP item and Delete.
5. Save all changes.
Hope this works.

UWL in custom iView

Hi,
Is there a way to include UWL in our own custom iView.
Thanks,

Hi Rem,
I am relatively new to this, but from my understanding of the note, it's useful if I need to integrate third party applications.
Is there a way I can use SAP's code or API's to code and use the UWL xml to create my own inBox which only shows 2 or 3 messages plus the total number of messages with a link to goto my inbox.
I can get the total no of message but don't know how to integrate it, with which shows only a preview like 2 or 3 messages.
Thanks,
