Workflow content in portal.

We have enabled a workflow in UCM and documents are correctly participating in workflow.
We are showing document in our portal application using content presenter.
If a contributor creates a new document, it goes for approval. Now if approver login in our portal application he is not able to see document because content presenter is not showing those documents which do not have atleast one release version available. To sumup content presenter only shows release documents and if for a release document there is a new version in workflow, it will allow approve/reject/view of workflow document. BUT for fresh document it does not show anything. Is it right? I believe to approver it should show initial document, which does not have any released version available also. So that approver can approve.
Spaces User's guide says
"You can view content items displayed in Content Presenter while they are in a workflow, including Site Studio contributor data files displayed in a Site Studio region template. As long as the content item has at some point had Released status in Content Server, you can display the content item in Content Presenter. Then, if a revision of the content item is pending in workflow, Content Presenter allows approvers for the content item to toggle between the published version and the version in workflow in page edit mode or in-context edit (contributor) mode, and also provides links to approve or reject the item in workflow, and view additional details about the item."
Is this a limitation with content presenter?
What could be best possible way to allow approver to approve initial document from a custom portal application. Is there any taskflow, which can show documents waiting approval? Can we integrated it with worklist?
Thanks
Sanjeev.

Hi Jiri, Thank you for your reply.
I don't have access to unix box so I can't verify 'CollectionreleasedOnly' property. Is there any way to verify it from UCM UI.
I see everything is working fine in UCM. If contributor check in a new document, approver can see that in 'My workflow assignment'. Problem is only with content presenter. Content presenter does not show new document if its in workflow. Content presenter only shows document if atleast one revision is in released status.
If we follow these steps:
1. Contribute checks in a new document --> Document goes in workflow successfully and approver can see document from 'My workflow assignment'. BUT same document is not visible to approver in webcenter portal if content presenter is used to show document. This is the actual problem.
2. Let say approver approves the document from UCM 'My workflow assignment' --> Now everyone can see the document as its in released status.
3. Now if contributor checks out and check in a new version --> Document goes in workflow successfully and approver can see document from 'My workflow assignment'. Approver can also see document from content presenter. By default content presenter will show published version of document. If Approver goes in edit mode (ctrl+shift+c), he can approve/reject/preview workflow version of same document. Its working perfectly as expected.
So question is why content presenter is not showing workflow document when its checked in first time?
Thanks
Sanjeev

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].

Edit option not enabled for workflow content from within Content Presenter in Webcenter Spaces

I have a webcenter spaces portal page with a content presenter displaying a html page using the default out of the box template. The html page is located in webcenter content / UCM under a folder on which the " All Reviewer" seeded workflow is enabled. The issue i am seeing is when the file is in workflow the edit option is not being enabled even though the reviewer should be able to edit/approve the content in this step. The other functions like workflow approve or reject and switching between workflow version and published version are all enabled. Also when rejected the content does not show edit option from the content presenter (cntrl-C option) for the original author to make any updates.
What would need to be done to enable editing from within the content presenter for workflow content?
Thanks for your help

Hi Sreedhar
We are using WCP 11.1.1.8.5
To recreate the issue
1) Login to WCC Portal: Spaces as admin user , create a New Page under a webcenter spaces portal
2) Under the space , Pages Section , select the page and click edit
3) In Design mode , choose Content Management and Add Document Explorer and Add Content Presenter on the page
4) The Document Explorer will default to the Current Space/portal directory under MyWebcenterSpaces in UCM
5) Create a directory "content" under the Portal space using the document explorer.
6) Right Click on Content folder and choose details. In Details view , go to File->workflow settings and pick a seeded workflow -> MyWCSAllReviewer. Add a user as workflow approver
7) After workflow is enabled on this folder upload a basic html page with simple text into this folder
8) Now in the design mode choose edit in the content presenter and select the "single content view" with default template to display an Image or HTML. Click browse and select the html that was added to workflow
9) Save the Page and view the portal. Workflow should now be enabled for any content changes to that html page.
10) Click Cntrl-shift-c in portal/space as an authenticated user with edit access to content and make an edit to content , this will trigger worklow . The author currently will see edit option get disabled once content enters workflow
11) Login as approver to the portal and cntrl-shift-C to the portal and workflow options(approve and reject) are enabled but the edit option is not. If you reject content , the author should be able to edit content in the content presenter mode, this also is not available. The issue is the content is now no longer available for editing from wthin content presenter if it is in workflow to either the approver or the original author depending on workflow step. If you check the same content under the document explorer the option to edit is enabled. Is this a bug /issue with content Presenter or some option needs enabled?

Javascript error in Content Admin- Portal Content- iview Navigation window

Hi friends,
We are in the process of portal migration and as a part of this, we installed NW04 SPS 14 using Rapid Installer and then upgraded it to SPS 18. The components we upgraded are:
Java component
Portal Platform
Knowledge Management and Collaboration
Adobe Document Services
BI UDI
BI MMR
After upgradation, when we logged in to portal, we were not able to see/browse Portal pages/Roles/Iviews/Worksets (PCD Contents) under Content Administration->Portal Content.
Again, whichever window is there for navigation of PCD, we are not able to see the contents of PCD.For e.g. System Administration -> System Configuration.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Workflow in SAP Portal 7.0

Hi,
I'm using the SAP Netweaver 7.0 EHP1. Trying to search for can I have a workflow in the portal. I will required to build a portal for the user to access in the meantime there will have an approval process for some of the task whereby it will based on a routing table. So now I'm searching is it possible to have a custom build workflow in portal to enable this process.
Search some but seem is not what I really want. Kindly advice.
Thanks.

Hi Adrian,
Yes it is possible to display custom workflows in the Universal Worklist, However, I am not sure what you are trying to do with a routing table. If the workitems are of type decision, you can use UserDecisionHandler (action handler) configured in the XML file to use the Approve/Reject functionality - we are talking about webflow connector here correct? R/3 connector?

Translated content in Portal Favourites iView

Hi All,
I have Portal roles in two languages English and German. I set the browser language to check the translations. Initially the browser language is English. When we add the role to Portal Favourites and then change the browser language to German, the text in the Roles is changed but the text in the Portal Favourites iview still remains in English. Can anyone tell me how to translate the content of Portal Favourites iview?
Thanks,
Priya

Hi,
You can upload an Image or an HTML file in the KM Repository and then create an iview pointing to that file. Assign that to a role and and make the entry point YES.
Assign that role to user.
Whenever that user logs in the image will be displayed.
Hope this helps!

How do we transfer content between Portals ?

Hi all ,
How do we transfer content between Portals . In SAP R3 we transfer content using transport request. can any one explain how do we transfer content between poptals (Development, quality and porduction systems)
Thanks
Rajeev.

Hi,
You will use Portal Transport to transport content between your DEV-QA-PROD system.
You will have to go to system administraton-->transport tab.
Create a transport package and add the portal content objects you wish to transport.
and download that as an EPA file and upload it to the next portal.

Browse/Capture on Content Administration/Portal Content -EP6

We're having problems trying to capture live (external) internet content from the portal when we create
URL iViews.
In EP5 the tool used to be called iView catcher and it allows you to get a portion of content from the web like a table (stock/weather). This functionality is not working in the portal and I am not sure if this is due to the privacy/partnership issues, but at the same rate, i see the functionality exists on EP 6.0 via
Content Administration/Portal Content. Right click on the folder and select New -> iView and from the list of templates select URL iView, enter name and id on the next screen. On the following screen you can enter a URL and we tested www.bbc.co.uk and then press the Browse/Capture button and the pop up window is not able to access this website.
The website does not appear in the Browse tab but if you save it does work when previewing the iView (example is iView url_test). However we just want to capture a part of the website and under the Capture tab it just says 'null' instead of the website(url) appearing.
Is this a known problem with EP(SP7), and perhaps fixed with SP9?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
James

Hi,
The iView catcher is available in EP6 start from SP9 and on (NW04).
If you select to create new iView - URL iView and then you choose browse / capture.
If it doesn't work well, you probably have problems with either proxy settings or your windows domain authentication.
Good luck,
Tuval
