UWL refresh on page load

Question

Hi
It seems this question has been asked a number of times in a number of ways in the past but to my knowlege has not had a response that denies it's possible or provides a solution.
The biggest source of frustration for our ESS/MSS users in our implementation is that UWL does not get rid of worklist items that have been processed. Our user community do not find it acceptable to click refresh to force a reload of the cache from the back end when the uwl is returned to after processing a leave request approval. What they would like is for the page to do that when loading. We are aware of delta pull and cache refresh settings but neither of these options are considered a solution by the users.
We have seen a UWL FAQ that states: Refreshing with Hidden iView
Add a hidden iView on the page that raises the refreshUwlBackend event. This is the same event that is triggered when users manually choose the Refresh function. If the user returns to the task list after a task has been completed, approved, or rejected in another window, the refresh is automatically done by the iView.
Our interpretation of this is that we create an iview on a par file that contains the code:
   EPCM.raiseEvent("urn:com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.ui", "refreshUwlBackend");
This is added to the same  Page that contains the UWL iview.
This seems to be the holy grail we are looking for but alas, our efforts to date have been in vain. It seems like the iviews load together and the refreshUwlBackend event fires before the event itself is available.
Any suggestions as to where we are going wrong or practical alternatives to the problem?

Answer 1

Hi Beth / Mark,
I am also facing same problem.
Problem1:
We are integrating MDM iviews.
Approver has 2 steps:
1) Mark as approve / disapprove
2) Click on DONE
Between these steps we are stucked with 2 mins refresh time (min time which is confirmed with SAP).
Could not raise any event from MDM Result set Iview and still trying to find any workaround.
Problem2:
Apart from this, we have MDM Item detail iview, where record is saved after entering data.
This iview provides "Custom Event Button"
But we are not able to trigger custom event. We want to call UWL iview once record is saved.
We have to specify following parameters in Custom Event Tab:
Custom Event Name: ______
Event Type: EPCF POST SAVE EVENT   (Cannot change, this is bydefault)
Target (URL or Event Name): http:/<portalURL>:<port>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=PCD path of UWL iview)
Namespace: urn:com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.ui
Parameter Format: Standard
Last column is parameters but don't know what are the parameters to be specified.
