Workflow is not trigerred from the portal

Hi all,
I have a scenario in which the workflow requires to be trigerred through the portal and direct the task to the approver's inbox in extent to sending email notification to the approver, I have developed the custom workflow and i am using the standard rule for getting the approver. all of this is working fine when i test them on R/3 but wheni am integrating the workflow to the portal using a BAPI it is not trigerring the workflow. The first step in my worklflow is to send the email notification  to the approver, if i remove this step then it directs the task to the approver's inbox which is the second step in my workflow.
Can anyomne please guide me why it is happening.
Thanks.

Hi,
You said
<i>"wheni am integrating the workflow to the portal using a BAPI it is not trigerring the workflow. The first step in my worklflow is to send the email notification to the approver, <b>if i remove this step then it directs the task to the approver's inbox</b> which is the second step in my workflow."</i>
Do you mean say that it is not working when you put the sendmail step alone? Or is it that the workflow is not triggering at all.
I assume that you are using a BAPI to create an event which will start this workflow. Now if your workflow is not starting at all then you need to activate the event trace (SWELS) and check whether the event was triggered first (in SWEL). If yes then check for any errors in the receiver connection.
If your workflow does start and fails at sending mail step then you may need to give some more info. Are you using the standard sendmail step or Are u using a background task. In case if u r using a BG task then it might be creating a dump while triggering from portal (Ex. it might need the Evt_creator user id to determine the approver which is not binded properly from Event<->Workflow<->Task<->Method).
Also have a look at ST22 for any dumps.
Thanks,

    Hi
    Please provide the steps taken in Portal to reproduce the issue
    I think the problem could be missing configuration in UWL configuration file which is uploaded via
    System Administration -> System Configuration -> Universal Worklist
    and Workflow -> Universal Worklist Administration.                
    I am not sure how UWL team delivers this code for new work items - its possible a CSS message is needed to investigate this
    Thanks

    I havent create new token values.
    Edited by: C@rlitos on Sep 30, 2009 6:14 PMHave you configured your Infra with a new hostname on a different port ?
    Unless, you had installed your OAS with custom ports, and have not used the default ports for the components, your lsnr_token for the newurl has a problem. orasso and sso should be configured at 7777, and by default they configure at that port. That means that your newURL should be pointing to http://newurl.com:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login for the ls_login_url.
    This might have happened due to some error in registering your portal with the SSO. Have you used custom ports for your installations?
    Additionally, did you configure your newurl on port 80?

  • How can we call Tcode from the Portal?

    Senario:
    2 BAPI’s are developed:
    1. The information say... ABC is stored into the table from the portal using the Create BAPI.
    2. The change in this ABC information is done using a particular <b>Tcode</b> …say xyz. This is a report that calls the change BAPI inside.
    The ABC information change will be done either through the Tcode in ECC or through the EP.
    3. The Tcode has been created in ECC.
    Please let me know who will be responsible to call this tcode from the Portal and how?
    I am very very new to EP field so please help...

    Hi Jignesh,
    If you have already performed these steps and are able to see the iview that you have created. Then I think your issue has been sorted out.
    To explain it to you in detail.
    Let us suppose, you have created a SAP Transactional iview to access the TCODE-SE38.
    Now, as soon as the user clicks on the iview, it will authenticate by asking for the username and password for the backend system...if your SSO is not in place.
    Now, if your asking me how to make the iview visible.
    You can add assign this SAP transactional iview to a page,a workset or a role and add the corresponding page, workset or role to the user in USER ADMINISTARTION by making it an entry point.
    Or to make the iview as an entry point, right click on the iview that you have created and open the properties, then for the option that says entry point choose yes.
    I guess that answers your question.
    Let me know if you have need any further clarifications on the same.

  • Authorization error when running a report from the portal

    Hello,
    I am trying to run a certain report under a certain user in the portal.
    If I run this report with this user from the BW it is working but if I run it from the portal with this user it doesn't. The error I receive in the portal is this:
    ABEND: Program error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
    ABEND: Errors while reading InfoProvider data
    ABEND: Error in BW:
    ABEND: You do not have authorization for the data transfer process
    Which other authorizations the user needs?

    Hey Roy,
    Check with the User Portal Roles and all Authorization Objects in BW.
    when we talking about Portal from BW - Is is URL portal or RFC Portal?
    Thanks,

  • PO Approval Items Workitems are not removed from the Universal Worklist UWL

    Hi,
    Certain of our purchase orders require approval, they are sent to the relevant approver via workflow to their SAP inbox (SBWP) and universal worklist.
    When the user executes the workitem (Approve or Reject) The workitem should be removed from the universal worklist and SBWP when refreshed.
    The problem we experiencing is that the Workitems are not removed from the UWL after they have been executed. The SBWP is behaving correctly and the items are removed.
    It is not all the workitems that have this problem, only certain ones - but there is no pattern.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hi,
    The user B approved the PR accessing the transaction SBWP or via PR transaction directly?
    If via PR transaction directly, then your workflow needs a Wait Event step.

  • How to get the list (vector) of selected channels from the portal

    Hi,
    I try to retrieve the selected channels from the portal to use them in my script. I use "DataCheckChnls". Is it possible to convert it to a vector, to use it after in in for next structure.
    I would like to do specific calculus for each selected channel. Must I use another method ?
    Thank's in advance.

    Hello!
    Sorry, I trusted the DIAdem help and did not testetd it. But I'm not completly wrong
    What you get is an array of strings containing the channel name. In standard use these names are unique and could be transfered to a channel numbers with the CNo command. Try this code to understand this:
    Option Explicit
    Dim aoChannels
    Dim oChannel
    aoChannels = ChnStrToChnList(DataCheckChnls)
    For Each oChannel In aoChannels
    MsgBox CNo(oChannel)
    Next
    If you realy need the numbers as array you can build a function to do this based on this code:
    Option Explicit
    Dim i
    Dim aoChannels
    Dim anChannels
    aoChannels = ChnStrToChnList(DataCheckChnls)
    ReDim anChannels(UBound(aoChannels))
    For i=0 To UBound(aoChannels)
    anChannels = CNo(aoChannels(i))
    Next

  • MDM Record Check out and Check in from the Portal

    Hi everybody,
    I'm trying to figure out what is the standard way to trigger the Check out and Check in from the Portal.
    How do I need to configure the MDM workflows and the Portal, so the standard Item Details iView would automatically check out the record when the Edit button is pressed.
    Do I need to configure Guided Procedures or UWL on the Portal or can I avoid that?
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    Boris

    Hi Boris,
    When we connect MDM to a front end system like Portal,the portal will replicate all teh functionalities of the backend sytem from the front end as in this case in EP.
    But when we maintain Master data form the MDM Data Manager we get a lot of options in the context menu ,when we right click a record in the record pane.
    All of these cannot be made available on the portal,but however the feature of Checkout can be made possible if you try to update the record  through a MDM workflow.
    As in MDM workflow you have to option of Checking ou the record at the beginning of the Uddate and then checking in back at the completion of the record update.
    For this you can use the MDM workflows and integrate it through EP using UWL.
    Kindly refer some additional docs which will guide you in the configuration of the same:

    Hope It Helped

  • Printing a report with print sheets from the portal

    It is my understanding that a print sheet uses a variant to make a connection between the variable settings set in the web portal and the variable / filtering settings that are used when printing a report. It is also my understanding that without a print sheet and variant that when a user prints a report from the portal that the printed report would not have the same filtering (variable settings) as what the user sees in the report. I have created a report and a print sheet that uses a variant, but when we view reports in the portal there is not a print icon... we can only print from the browser. Printing from the browser only prints what is on the screen, not a formatted report set up in the reporting agent. How do I print a report that uses a variant and a print sheet set up in the reporting agent to be available to print from the portal... i.e. display an icon to print the report? If you have a better or more detailed explanation of what a print sheet is and how to set it up, please include that as well.

    The BW Reporting agent print settings is used for batch printing of BW reports not online printing from the web.
    Currently there are no SAP delivered formatted reporting print functionality for BW. BI 7.0 will have formatted reporting and PDF export options.
    SAP had recently released a How to Document on printing using MS Excel. See the attached link for the same.

  • Create a new MWord or MExcel document from the portal

    Hi all,
    Do you know if I can create a new WORD document (no upload) from the portal.
    From the dropdown menu we have the option to create a text ot html file, not Word or excel.
    thanks
    in advance

    Hi Vijay,
    thanks for your reply.
    Do you know any vendor application which can work with EP, and gives the ability to create microsoft documents(Excel and word documents)?
    The way that we are working now, is to create the documents outside the EP, and then upload them into EP.
    This is not efficient.
    Do you have any suggestion?
    Many thanks again

  • To extract portal activity data from the portal into Solution manager.

    HI all,
          I need to extract the portal activity data from the portal into Solution  Manager BI and then later on into the SAP BW in order to generate BEx reports on the portal activity data. I need to know about the configuartions that are needed to be done on the portal side and the solution manager side so as to get the data into SolMan from portal.  Waiting for a response.
    Thanks and regards,
    Divya.

    Hi
    In solution manager you can do the  analysis of the ADC data files (Portal activity reporting) as as part of the End-to-End Diagnostics (Portal Activity Reporting tab in the End-to-End Workload Analysis).
    Will you see the Portal Activity Reporting tab under End-to-End Workload Analysis?
    by default PAR in SAP Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 is deactivated ,since we requires
    some manual configuration of the Activity Data Collector.
    please follow the attached config guide in the SAP note for configuration.

  • How to remove logoff button from the Portal?

    Could anyone help me to remove the logoff button from the Portal? I am using netweaver portal 7.0 Thanks!

    Hi Michael,
    Thank you for your reply!
    Can I do it through the portal or I have to do customized programming in NWDS? Could you please show me step by step in details?
    In the future the portal will be use SSO with active directory so user does not have to login/logoff. I think the session in the server will be closed after a couple of minutes. What do you think?

  • Send an email from the portal

    How do I send an email from the portal?
    Is there support for the IMAP protocol?
    Thank you for any and all help,

    WLS has support for the JavaMail standard. That's SMTP on the send side and
    IMAP (or others like POP3) on the receive side. Portal does not have the end
    all, be all IMAP client nor does it have a full featured SMTP client to compose
    mail but the sample portlets have a start.
