UWL - Triggering a Workitem in Portal ?

Hi Gurus,
First of all, Im new in UWL and I have a question about it.
I have an existing Workflow in SAP Business Workplace which contains tasks which are calling SAP Transaction (eg. ME23N or something else) or specific screens through BDC :
Workflows -> Tasks -> SAP Transaction
My customer use now the UWL and wants to know if its possible to launch the entire Workflow which was in SAP Business Workplace directly in the portal.
I heard about SAP GUI for HTML but he wants to execute each screen of the Workflow (in Screen Painter, Select option or SAP Transaction ) in SAP EP like a BSP or WebDynpro iview without coding (maybe a way to convert ABAP screens in iview ??).
I read in the following document
http://help.sap.com/bp_epv260/EP_JA/documentation/How-to_Guides/KM/UWL.pdf
"Item Launch Configuration
For specific task types, the default task launch as defined in the backend is overridden by iViews,
WebDynpro applications or any URL, which represent the task completion transaction."
To summary and to be more explicit, I want to do exactly the same thing in page 3 (or page 9/65) of the above pdf document.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Follow these instructions:
SAP Business Workflow in UWL :
Step1. open the role to which you want to attach this UWL iview.
Step2.Choose Content Administration -> Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP -> End User Content -> Standard Portal Users->Pages -> com.sap.km.pages folder.
Step3. under com.sap.km.pages folder you can see UniversalWorklist page.
Step4. Assign this page to the role you have already opened. Save and close.
Step5. Create the SAP System(System Object) in the System Landscape.
step6. Register the SAP System. 1. Navigate to System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Universal Worklist.
step7.Select UWL Systems Configuration. You see a list of Universal Worklist Webflow Systems.
i. Choose the New button.
ii. In the dialog box that appears:
iii In Name, enter the name of the system that is running Business Workflow.
iv In System Alias, enter the system alias.
v In Connector, select WebFlowConnector
save ok.
step8.Register Work Item Types
step9.Choose System Administration -> System Configuration -> Universal Work List Administration page.
Step10.Select Register Item Types for New Systems Only. your new system will be registered.
Now logoff and logon. you can see the workflow activated.
While registering work item types see that the user doing this is already created in the backend system.
hope that helps...

UWL connection is fine as workflow is getting trigered and i can see work item in manager's inbox. I have created a dedicated template system for UWL with Web AS as ECC host:port number and Web AS path as /sap/bc/bsp/sap.
And maintained other connector and ITS properties and all connection test successully passed.
As we have only one sever so while creating system using load balacing template, was not able to identify message server name which is to maintained in case load balancing system.
Please help me finding out where can be the issue.

When registering the system in UWL, specify a WebDynpro Launch System. That should resolve the issue.
WebDynpro Launch System -- create a system of type WAS and mention the WAS host name and WAS path.

Using an uwl iviewlauncher in a Federated portal network

Hi
We have a problem when we are using an iviewlauncher (uwl iview) in the consumer portal to launch a portal page/webdynpro iview. The problem is that the webdynpro application does not get the url dynamic parameter info that we are submitting. It works perfectly when we are navigating directly to the producer portal but not when we have a remote role assignment in the consumer portal. The difference in urls , directly navigating to the producer portal and when navigating to the consumer, is the following:
Directly to the producer:
/prteventname/Navigate/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fevery_user!2fgeneral!2fdefaultDesktop!2fframeworkPages!2fframeworkpage!2fcom.sap.portal.innerpage!2fcom.sap.portal.contentarea
?NavigationTarget=ROLES%3A%2F%2Fportal_content%2FXXX%2Fcrm%2Fforsaljning%2Froller%2Fteamassistent%2Fforsaljning%2Fsaljfloden%2Fsaljflode%2Faffarstips&workitemId=000017690258&wi_id=000017690258&destination=SAP_CRM&item_id=1440&task=TS90100219&logsys=TS90100219&uname=XXX&langu=SV&CurrentWindowId=WID1221911615325&NavMode=1
Via the consumer portal:
/prteventname/Navigate/prteventdata/
NavigationTarget!3dROLES!253a!252f!252fportal_content!252fse.posten.pct!252fcrm!252fforsaljning!252froller!252fteamassistent!252fforsaljning!252fsaljfloden!252fsaljflode!252faffarstips!26wi_id!3d000017690258!26workitemId!3d000017690258!26task!3dTS90100219!26CurrentWindowId!3dWID1221910314991!26langu!3dSV!26logsys!3dTS90100219!26NavMode!3d1!26destination!3dSAP_CRM!26RelativeNavBase!3d!26uname!3dGOWE703!26item_id!3d1440/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fse.xxxx.pct!2fcrm!2fforsaljning!2froller!2fteamassistent!2fforsaljning!2fsaljfloden!2fsaljflode!2faffarstips
The one difference that I can see directly is that when navigating via the consumer there are no url parameters in the request since the url parameter always starts with a question mark (hex: 3F). Is it a bug or do I need to read the parameter values from an event instead when navigating via the consumer portal?

After getting a hotfix from SAP the problem was solved. Accordingly to the SAP contact person the fix will be part of support package 19 for NW 7.0.

How to change the UWL refresh rate for all portal users.

Hi Portal Experts,
How to change the UWL refresh rate for all portal users?
Users can individually change the refresh rate through "Personalise View" in UWL.But we want this to set it for all users(we have 10k portal users).
It was defaultically set to 5 mins for all users.How to change this to 20 mins.
Thanks
Sony.

1.      Launch the UWL iView configuration page.
You can access the iView from the UWL administration pages (System Administration ® System Configuration). Navigate to the property editor as follows:
      From the Universal Worklist Systems, choose the system for which you want to edit the properties.
    Choose Edit.
may be you can get clear help from below help file

Standard Behaviour of Due Date in UWL for SRM Workitems

We have a deployment of Enterprise Portal which is integrated to SAP SRM (7.02). I have two queries regarding the standard behaviour of "Due Date" column in UWL:
1. The column always displays today as the due date for all shopping carts, irrespective of delviery date. I would like to know whether this is an issue and also would be helpful if you elaborate on how is this calculated.
2. The column is showing blank for any workitems other than shopping carts (Purchase Order change workitem, User change approvals, Invoice approvals etc.)
Thanks

Dear ArulPrakash
I hope you are well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
With reference to the scenario that you have described you mentioned the following:
You have a deployment of Enterprise Portal which is integrated to SAP SRM (7.02). You have two queries regarding the standard behaviour of "Due Date" column in UWL:
The column always displays today as the due date for all shopping carts, irrespective of delviery date. You would like to know whether this is an issue and also would be helpful if you elaborate on how is this calculated.
The column is showing blank for any workitems other than shopping carts (Purchase Order change workitem, User change approvals, Invoice approvals etc.)
Ok regarding your queries kindly let me attempt to provide some clarification and oversight.
Firstly in terms of the column and the fact it displays todays date as the due date (irrespective of the actual delivery date). Now from a broad level overview perspective it is possible to change the display of the due date in the UWL. In the standard xml file you will see the following: <DisplayAttribute name="dueDate" type="date" width="" sortable="yes" format="medium" referenceBundle="due_date" hAlign="LEFT" vAlign="BASELINE" maxTextWidth="0" headerVisible="yes"/> The medium format refers to the output of the field displaying the date as follows: Jun 01, 2014. The short format refers to the output of the field displaying the date as follows: 06/01/14.The long format refers to the output of the field displaying the date as follows: June 01, 2014. The full format refers to the output of the field displaying the date as follows: Tuesday, June 01, 2014. I've attached some reference documentation below for further reference on both your queries.
Secondly regarding the blank columns for workitems. Here the first thing which needs to be ensured is that SAP Note: 1133821 - UWL Destination Service configuration is followed and setup accordingly in terms of configuration settings and parameters. Now you mention that this is occuring for another other item other than shopping carts? Are custom attributes involed here? Could you please have a look at the help document below to check the bahavior of retrieving custom attributes in UWL? http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ef/f2aed99c414f81adacc6b897a6910a/content.htm

WorkItems in Portal Workflow Content

Hello Everyone,
We have a requirement where, the workitems in the R/3 should be displayed in Portal "workflow content".
Could any one help in explaining me of how to make the workitems visible in portal. I have see the SAP Help and everything seems to be configured but I am not able to figure out the problem.
Could anyone explain me of how to make the workitems visible in here. I would appreciate your help.
Regards,
Gopal.

You will be able to see workitems in Universal Worklist iView provided you have installed and configured the SONiC connector.
Check more info on UWL [here|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BPX/UWL+FAQ] and for SONiC [here|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/downloads?rid=/library/uuid/8525afd0-0d01-0010-aaa0-ac6b9e3a2907&overridelayout=true].

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 - 3d party workitem provider

Dear All!
In this
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/technologies/
Ad%20hoc%20Workflow%20and%20UWL%20Nov%2021%202003%20-%20Slides.pdf
document at the 9th page is written that there is a possibility to integrate non-SAP system into EP UWL. Unfortunately, I have found no other information on this ability. How can I make EP to display 3d party workitems in the universal worklist?

Here is answer:
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00ff559e-c563-2910-17a7-c902dbef9a16">Developing Third party Connectors for the Universal Worklist</a>

Break points are not triggering in RFC from portal application

Helllo,
I am running Biller Direct application from portal, which is triggering a standard SAP RFC FM back end, am trying to debug my execution from portal, for this i put the External Break point, Session break-poiint at the beginning of this SAP RFC FM, but, its not stoppping at ll, here the user is a Web user, not dialog user.
How can i stop my execution in this SAP RFC FM to check how the structures are populated?
Thank you

Hi Raju,
Please try the below way and check if it works.
Open the RFC in R/3 i.e.
SE37 -> give FM NAME -> DISPLAY.
Click on UTILITIES -> SETTINGS -> CLICK THE TAB debugging.
In the screen against the field users : give the value 'WEBLOGIN'.
Uncheck the FLAG 'IP MATCHING'.
And at the bottom check the check box against the field
'Session Break Point Activate Immediately'.
Save these settings.
Then go to the line at which you want to debug the code and put an external break point over there.
But, please take care of one thing as we are giving it as a WEBLOGIN, when ever some logs in, it will reach the brteak point and stop there. We have to click F8 to continue. Or else, the portal will be hanged for them.
Thanks & regards,
Y Gautham

Object visualization to open attachment link in UWL decision task workitems

We are using Object Visualization (in t-code SWFVISU) to open an I-view when you click the attachment link in decision task workitems. I sort of have this working. My issue is that I need to pass parameters to the I-view. I'm not sure how to do that. I've seen some documentation on dynamic parms in SWFVISU (DYNPARM) but I don't see that option (maybe we are on an older version). Maybe we can via XML files? I've done Task visualization and edited xml files but I'm not sure if we can do similar code for object visualization. Does anyone know how to do this? Have any samples/documentation?
Thanks,
Matt

UWL getting all workitems, needs only HR one

Hi,
Please note that i am a HR functional consultant, we have implemented ESS on our project, now there is Universal Work List in which all the workflows should come related to HR processes only.
But issue is while we have connected UWL all workflows for that employees are showing in that whcih includes item from HR , MM and PM.
I have consulted my workflow consultant about this but, he is saying ""Differentiating between the workitems is not possible because it is the same Inbox.""
May you please suggest any solution for the same.
Regards,
Brijesh Kumar

Hello,
In general you should be able to restrict the different task types in UWL configuration. I mean that at the first place you need to configure each and every task in UWL configuration that the tasks would be visible in UWL (and this works also other way around - if you don't configure the task in UWL, it will not be visible in UWL). I know that people have had some problems with this functionality lately. The tasks have been visible in UWL even though they are not configured for UWL.
Using the above-mentioned BADI should definately not be the answer for your problem. If I understand correctly, this badi is for restricting the tasks being visible in the business workplace, and that is not something that you want to achieve. You want to achieve that certain tasks would be visible in Business Workplace and NOT in UWL, am I correct?
You should discuss again with your workflow consultant about this.
Regards,
Karri
