UWL System Customization

Hi,
I'm new on the UWL development and currently working on a custom connector. I have added new attributes to the UWLSystems.cc.xml (path in configarchive file: install\meta\lib\com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl\systems\UWLSystems.cc.xml ) so that backend informations (host ip, port, router etc.) can be configured. After deployment these values can be set in the UWL Systems configurations view.
Here my UWLSystems.cc.xml
BPMConnector is my custom connector.
confHost,confPort,confRouter,confSessionTimeout are my new defined attributes
<ConfigClass name="UWLSystems" configurable="com.sapportals.config.plugin.default_fs.Configurable">
<attribute name="name" type="string" mandatory="true" />
<attribute name="confSystem" type="string" mandatory="true" />
<attribute name="connector" type="enum" values="WebFlowConnector,BPMConnector,ActionInboxConnector,AdHocWorkflowConnector,AlertConnector" mandatory="true" default="AdHocWorkflowConnector" />
<attribute name="confGroup" type="string" mandatory="false" />
<attribute name="confWDSystem" type="string" mandatory="false" />
<attribute name="confHost" type="string" mandatory="false" />
<attribute name="confPort" type="string" mandatory="false" />
<attribute name="confRouter" type="string" mandatory="false" />
<attribute name="confSessionTimeout" type="string" mandatory="false" />
</ConfigClass>
Now my question: How can I access these attributes within the api or is there in other way to configure those data?
Best regards
Matthias

Hi Padma,
I think Modifying the XML file and uploading the new configuration will solve the problem.
Here is the same querry for different button visibility

Hi,
you can check few things prior proceeding:
Does your connector test after adding your backend system in portal works fine?
Did you define a system alias?
Make sure your SSO is working,
Also check your Jco detination webdynpro tab.

UWL system creation error?

Hi,
I'm trying to setup UWL configuration for ESS/MSS. During minimal configuration of UWL setup, I'm assigning one of the system alias which is connecting to the R3 system using SAPLogonTicket method. We got same uid maintained in portal and ECC6.
I defined UWL system and when I clicked on Register button, I get below message
(Connector) :com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.connect.ConnectorException:
(Connector) :com.sap.portal.connectivity.destinations.PortalDestinationsServiceException:User is missing credentials for connecting to alias UWL_System. Contact your system administrator.
OK, then I wanted to test the connection of system object that is used by UWL. WebAS, ITS connection tests are successfully, but "Test connection with connector" failed with below error
Test Connection with Connector
Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Retrieve the default alias of the system
2. Check the connection to the backend application using the connector defined in this system object
Results
Retrieval of default alias successful
Connection failed. Make sure that Single Sign-On is configured correctly
As suggested in this thread which was posted by me sometime ago
Standard UWL configuration error?
I tried to use System Administrator >> Support >> SAP Transaction >> choose the system aliase that is used for UWL and entered SU01 tcode, it pops with windows for UID/PWD, why is this happening even when all the parameters are correctly defined in System object?
Thanks
Praveen

Hi Geet,
I still have no luck. I tried exactly what you said and followed all notes. Here are the steps that I followed and error message
1) UWL_Service user didn't exist in the R3, so created and assigned roles that are required as you mentioned and as mentioned in note 873932, 1109225, 1133821, 1171615.
2) Set up RFC destination in Visual admin and binded to the UWL_Service user for system_alias$WebFlowConnector. In my case the system alise is SAP_ECC_HumanResources.
3) Restarted the server.
4) Configured new UWL system with SAP_ECC_HumanResources system alise. Click register button I got below error
Error in retrieving logical system id for system SAP_ECC_HumanResources:

Unable to set property Refresh Completed Items for UWL system

Hello Experts,
We are on NetWeaver 7.40 SP2 and UWLJWF version is 1000.7.40.2.0.20130411234700.
We have configured a system object with system alias SAP_ECC_HumanResources pointing to the backend ECC system.
I am creating a UWL WebFlowConnector system with this same system alias in the UWL Administration page to fetch ABAP Workflow workitems from the backend and display those in the portal UWL.
When I try to check the checkbox for the Refresh Completed Items: property and click Save it shows me an error message saying Could not connect to back end SAP_ECC_HumanResources to check if it supports direct custom retrieval feature.
I have already followed the steps for Prerequisites for Enabling Refresh of Completed Items and Activation in Back-end System mentioned in the link Enabling Refresh of Completed Items but still getting the above error.
I have also tried restarting the UWL service as given here (UWL) Error while configuring the Refresh of Completed Items Mechanism
Can anyone give any suggestions what else needs to be checked for this property to work for the UWL system?
Regards,
Saurabh

Hello Experts,
I have managed to resolve this problem. The RFC Destination configured for UWL WebFlowConnector had some problems and it was not able to ping to the backend system. I got this RFC Destination re-configured and then restarted the UWL service and following this I am now able to set the Refresh Completed Items property for the UWL WebFlowConnector system.
However now when I am trying to set a value of 30 seconds in the Delta Pull Channel Refresh Period (in Seconds): property and saving the change, I am getting a warning message The backend of system SAP_ECC_HumanResources is not configured for optimized delta pull.
How do I go about setting this value for the delta pull refresh?

2 UWL System Alias Return 2 Workitem

Dear Experts,
I am getting confuse about UWL with webflow connector configuration.
I have requirement to running standard workflow and user define workflow on SAP EP ESS/MSS.
2 System alias or landscape must be activated.
First SAP_WebDynpro_XSS, and 2nd SAP_BSP_EREC. Which is as i knew that standard workflow running on SAP_WebDynpro_XSS, whereas user define workflow running on SAP_BSP_EREC.
But Why in UWL MSS SAP EP display 2 times for each task or workitem?
I was done to define XML for Those 2 system landscape.
For User define workflow, XML configuration look like
 <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS90000085.SAP_BSP_EREC" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="default">
 <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_BSP_EREC" externalType="TS90000085" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
 <Actions>
 <Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction="" handler="SAPWebDynproABAPLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
 <Properties>
 <Property name="WebDynproApplication" value="ZHRWD_BEN_APPROVE"/>
 <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
 <Property name="DynamicParameter" value="wi_id=${item.externalId}"/>
 <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
 <Property name="WebDynproNamespace" value="SAP"/>
 <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
 </Properties>
 <Descriptions default=""/>
 </Action>
 </Actions>
 </ItemType>
And standard workflow or tasks i am grouping on SAP_WebDynpro_XSS Landscape.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
Best Regards,
Agnis Virtinova Avency

Thanks a lot Shanti, Nice suggestion. I have been enabling support information to know which system alias or landscape had been used for each workitem.
I have 2 UWL system configuration,
1. System Alias : SAP_WebDynpro_XSS with Connector Type : WebFlowConnector
2. System Alias : SAP_BSP_EREC with Connector Type : WebFlowConnector
FYI: I need to enabling leave request in ESS, so service SAP_WebDynpro_XSS must be used i think, that service refers to SAP Portal Server then SAP_BSP_EREC must be enable too for running WebDynpro Applications.
I was done to setup for separated which task ID grouping at each landscape or system alias.
But in UWL still return double workitems. Based on support information, 1 of workitems has been correct to read 1 of XML file configurations, but 1 other has information as shown below
Item Type Configuration Name: uwl.webflow
Item Type: uwl.task.webflow.default
External Item Type: TS90000085
Item Type: Associated View: DefaultView
Internal Item ID: 4207
External Item ID: 000000007540
I think uwl.webflow configuration can't be changing. There are someone to help me to explain how that system work or solution of that problem?
Thanks a lot,
Virtinova

Trying to open a task in UWL, system shown an message

Hi Frineds
While trying to open a task in UWL, system shown an message
SSO logon not possible; invalid host name for issuing cookie
Choose "Logon" to continue A dialog box appears in which you can enter your user and password
No switch to HTTPS occurred, so it is not secure to send a password
Plz let me know the reason and how to fix it
Regards
Kumar

SSO logon not possible; invalid host name for issuing cookie
You can do this
(1) Set the security trace level in the ticket accepting system
======================================================
1. Call transaction SM50 (process list):
2. Process -> Trace -> Reset -> Workprocess Files
3. Key combination: F5 (select all), CTRL-Shift-F7 => Dialog box;
4. Set trace level=3 and ONLY(!) check the "Security" component;
If necessary, you must repeat these steps for each server (see
transaction SM51), unless you can use a specific server for
reproducing the error (for example, by excluding the load
distribution).
(2) Run the webdiagtool as per example 3.
(3) While the webdiagtool is running, please reproduce a failed attempt
to the backend
(4) When the SSO fails, wait a minute and then press return in the
diagtool console so that the resulting traces are picked up
Please check the configuration in portal, use fully qualified domain
name instead of host name.

UWL system specific workitems

Hi SDNs,
I have integrated two SAP R/3 systems with my portal UWL and the connection is working fine and it is also displaying the workitems correclty.
But it is just mixing up the items. For example my two SAP systems are one is for HR integration and other is for PO workflow integration.
Suppose if i want to have only PO related workitems in one UWL iView and Leave items in other UWL iView.
What is the way of filtering the workitems only to specific system object other than View definition customization.
Because i don't require any custiom attributes or new actions to be included. the window should be as it is the default one only workitems should be filtered.
Is there anyway of doing that!
Please suggest me.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sireesha.

Hi Sireesha,
I am having the same requirement.
Please respond if you have resolved this.

UWL System Registration

Hi everyone,
I have a problem configuring the Universal Worklist in EP 7.0.
When trying to register the R/3 System as an Item for the Universal Worklist, the following error occurs:
com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception:'mshost' missing
Which configuration setting could I have missed?
I registered the same system in EP6.0 and it worked, but on EP 7.0 it doesn't.
Can anyone help?

Hello Olaf,
Depends on your SP level, I think it was fixed with SP7 but not sure.
Meanwhile, if you want to register your system in UWL, your system definition needs to use the "SAP system with load balancing" template. This also mean that you will need to add the sapmsXXX 36YY/tcp (where XXX is your SID and YY is your system number) in the services file of your Portal host server.
You should then be able to register your R/3 system.
Regards,
Marc.

UWL system administration

Hi,
I have created one system in backend and want to register this system in UWL administration.But after I am trying to register this system I am getting this error.
System SAP_TRP: Tue Apr 28 08:56:10 EEST 2009

(Connector) :com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception:Cannot check issuer of SSO ticket
Item type retrieval and registration requires a connection to the systems and may take a couple of minutes
For each system, they are generated as the configuration named 'uwl.webflow.<system_alias>' or 'uwl.alert.<system_alias>'.
After configuration changes in the backend system, you must re-register the system.
any ideas why this is happening?

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 <Action reference="refresh"/> 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?

Hi Srinivas,
A printscreen of the issue is welcome. The refresh icon in the standard uwl is a small icon on the right hand side.
So your mission is to align the refresh button to the left?

UWL - System doesnt support multiple tasks assignment for the same assignee

Hi all,
we have some tasks coming from our back- end system. When a certain task needs to be substituted to a colleague, no problem ... for one task. When we wish to assign him a second task, we get following message :
System does not support multiple tasks assignment for the same assignee
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0b/1fc20097b74c41b38621ec2a9454bb/frameset.htm">help.sap.com - substitution</a> :
 System does not support multiple tasks assignment for the same assignee
For example: User can only assign one task to an assignee at a time in workflow.
Collaboration Task does not support other tasks at all.
Is substitution only limited to one task per person? What would be a workaround? It's possible to create for each combination of tasks a definition in the back- end which is available from the substition drop down list, but this is not what our customer would like to see.
Many thanks,
Kevin

Hi Boris,
we're using the WebflowConnector.

MSS UWL customization : Which .XML to modify and How?

Hello,
We have EP7 with MSS/ESS ERP 6.0 EHP4 and already configured the UWL system object with alias 'SAP_ECC_HumanResources'.
I am using the UWL iview from the MSS business package on portal.
I have a requirement to modify the task tab table removing few columns like 'Priority' and 'Status' etc.
Tried the option in UWL Admin as 'Click to Configure Item Types and Customize Views Using a Wizard' but that does not give me any dropdown option to modify any view.
I am going for the option to modify the xml file to implement the above change.
There are multiple .XML file's as below and I am not sure which one I should modify to change my view.
1. com.sap.pct.erp.mss.001 [Med]
2. com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra [Med]
3. uwl.webflow.SAP_ECC_HumanResources [Low]
The UWL iview from business package has following properties as,
sap_uwl_viewname = com.sap.pct.erp.mss.AlertView
useNavigationId = com.sap.pct.erp.mss.Main
Can someone please advise which .XML file I need to modify and how?
After customizing the .XML fime do I need to make any change in the iview property as well?
Awaiting reply!
Thanks,
Smita Thorat

It would be nice if you can get some basics by reading the online help.
View - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/a2/42e9ba01a5463ba10c797fb8e106d3/frameset.htm
Navigation Node - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e8/5a43bf9b8f406ea0776a3b428688a4/frameset.htm
Now, let me try to answer your questions:
Can you please help me understand why the system ID is 'ADHocSystem' and not my new system 'SAP_ECC_HumanResource' with connector 'WebFlowConnector which i have already registered ?
Is something missing in config?
The section "Current Item Information" provides information specific to the UWL item that is currently selected.
I am not sure which item you have selected in your UWL inbox but it appears to be using an XML configuration file that is related to Collaboration. That is the reason you are seeing the AdHocSystem in the properties.
What is the worflow task associated with this item ?
Make sure that your task is mentioned in your XML configuration files and also your XML configuration files have a higher priority.
I can see its pointing to the com.sap.pct.erp.mss.001 configuration.
Yes - the section "Current Navigation Information" is pointing to the com.sap.pct.erp.mss.001 configuration.
So as I understand from your response, I need to change the com.sap.pct.erp.mss.001 .XML file and rename it and then upload it to the configurations. and change the iview property UINavigation ID to <'>.
Is it correct, please advise?
This is not as simple as that.
Based on the changes you are trying to make, you will need to make XML changes and upload (with High priority) for various tasks, views, etc.
Please do some reading and get started with this and you can achieve this in a few steps.
