Workflow - notification to outlook

Hi friends
I want to send a notification in html format to outlook.
Can i send? What is the configuration involved in doing so?
Thanks,
Renu

Hello,
You can integrate your MS Outlook with SAP Office through SAP MAPI standards. but not in HTML format.
No need of coding. Just create one more email account in your outlook using the srever SAP MAPI Server option. It is done. It will take hardly 15 minutes to configure. The only requirement is you should have SAP GUI Longon pad indtalled in your system.
In this way you can integrate SAP Office with Outlook.

Personas and extended workflow notifications

Hi Personas users.
We have gone live with our first Personas business process which is effectively a service desk ticketing system based on PM notifications and equipment records. My users are very happy with the solution but as expected they want more!
I have been asked to setup workflows for the notifications, this is no problem as I can simply use the OOTB notification workflows, however the requirement I have is to employ extended workflow notifications, i.e. send the workflow notifications to Outlook.
After setting this up and messing about with the host URL settings in the extended workflow setup (SWNADMIN) we have managed to get URL link in the email to launch the Personas app within NWBC... however it doesn't find the flavour for the transaction it finds the basic view.
Does anyone else have this setup and managed to get it to work ... if so how?
Many thanks,
Neil

Hi Steve,
I have shortlinks setup for these transactions, they are necessary for deploying Personas flavours via NWBC. Thing is the URLs that end up on the email are generated by SAPs extended notifications function, so the shortlinks aren't really useful here. unless there is a way to get the extedned notifications feature to somehow query the shortlinks table... I suspect this would be custom code.
Something tells me that what I'm after isn't a standard feature, hopefully Sushant or one of the other SAP folks will clarify.
thanks

How to get response of Workflow Notification Email from MS Outlook Express.

2. I need to hide Request Information button/link from the email notification send through Workflow mailer to user. There are three actions button available in email notification Apprve, Reject and Request Information. I need to have only two button Approve and Reject. How to hide Request Information button.
If any one have idea regarding my questions please hlep.

Workflow Notification truncated in outlook

Dear Team,
We have designed a Smartform for workflow Notification.The Notification in SAP inbox appears fine.but when it comes to outlook inbox ,its truncated.
Apperciate,if anyone can help me in sorting out this.
Your valuable inputs are highly Apperciated.
regards
Ali

Hi Dezso,
thx for your quck reply.
do have experience with this point (within the note):
Work items based, which are not based on the SAP GUI for Windows user interface can be executed from the e-mail (E.g. WebFlow services, Web Dynpro). Single e-mails can be generated for generic decisions so that the decision can be made directly from the e-mail.
I didn't found any documentation.

Sending Workflow notification from SAP to Outlook

Hi All,
I want to send my workflow notification mail from my SAP inbox to Outlook.
I have done the same for the work items successfully using Extended Notifications.
However, the same configuration is not working for "Notifications".
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Deb

Rob,
Thanks for your response. It was a simple sent mail step. So I send it directly to the e-mail id of the same user. Simple thing clicked to my mind little late.

Program to send Workflow Approval Notifications to Outlook (RSWUWFMLEC)

Hi,
We recently upgraded from SRM 4.0 to 7.0. We used RSWUWFMLEC to extract approval work items and send email notifications to Outlook. Can we use same RSWUWFMLEC or is there a different program/process for this in SRM 7.0. For some reason RSWUWFMLEC is not working for SRM 7.0 approval work items.
Thank You
Vineela

Hello Vineela,

Multiple attachments in Workflow Notification

Hi All,
We are trying to attach multiple(Two) files to the workflow notification. We are able to get the two attachments. But the problem is in the notification from front end both the attachments are opening the same file, where as the attachments in the outlook are showing different contents and the file name is same for both the attachments.
Please can anyone help us in this. This is very urgent requirment.
Thanks,
Varun

Hi Jubish/Venkat
1. I iterated this fucntion moudule to store the multiple attachments to the workflow
SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD
2. Call this FM to get the attachemnts form the workflow (pass workitem Item id which is used for storing the attchments). SAP_WAPI_GET_ATTACHMENTS
from above you will get objkey for each attachment as output in table.
3. Pass the objkey to this FM to get the contents
SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1'. this will retrun the content of the attachment either in object_content, contents_hex.
4. Pass the Obtained content to SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING to get the disired format.

Set up the IMAP4 compilance unique inbound email with INBOX, PROCESS and DISCARD folders
Configure the inbound email from OTM
Ignore the outbound email configuratiion from OTM becasue it is already working. It is set with SMTP
Check the inbound and outbound connection from ebs server
If you can not ping the IMAP server or telnet the SMTP server from ebs server. Make sure firewall/ports are open
Add inbound and outbound server entry in server host file
Apply the patch 16328729 for iPad compatibility

Notifications to outlook ??

Hi All,
In my assignment , approver is approving or rejecting through a cusomized screen.Now I want to send some approve or reject notifications to outlook of all the agents involved in the process .
Can anyone please suggest how to take care of getting emails corresponding to users and sending notifications to outlook ...
All help will be highly appreciated...
Thanks
Priya

Hi Priya,
To have e-mail notifications to be sent to outlook or anyother e-mail client, best possible approaches to be used are
1. Using report RSWUWML2
2. Using 'Extended Notification' functionality with Business Workflow - configurations using SWNCONFIG, SWNADMIN, SWN_SELSEN
You can find more information on this in link https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f01448bb-324f-2a10-fe96-cb36c26a3089
However we can also achieve the same in a different way using 'Send Mail' step in Workflow. Again we can use any of the following
1. Identify the people ( Selected Agents ) who should receive the e-mail notification
2. Find out the e-mail address of the agent ( you can write a new method on your BO) , you can use BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL , execute with userid as input and e-mail will come out in output table parameter ADDSMTP
3.Create a send mail step in your workflow like below
a. create a new task with reference to BO Method SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION
b.in the 'mail' tab of your send mail step select 'Receipient Type' as 'E-mail Address' , select 'Expressioon' and use the variable which has the 'e-mail adddress' found in the above step.
There is another simple approach with out finding the e-mail address, its like below
1. Create send mail step, select Recipient Type as 'Organizational Object' and you can choose any option 'User' / 'Position' based on requirement.
2. This actually send a document to SBWP
3. Now in user's SBWP Office Settings , go to 'Automatic Forwarding' , create an entry as 'e-mail address of the user' say ( [email protected]) and type as 'Internet Address'. You can also mention date from and to in which this option should be active. You can also set so that original document from SBWP can be removed once it is forwarded to mentioned e-mail address.
4. If some specific user do not want have e-mail notifications to be sent we can deactivate automatic forward option to him.
This works fine !!
However for above all, we should have SCOT configurations done correctly.
Hope this helps you to solve your problem.
Thanks and Regards

How to customize SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow notification emails

We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow that sends emails when certain criteria are met. We have tried to customize the emails using SharePoint Designer, but the emails that are received are different.
Ho do we configure SharePoint to send the emails formatted as we specified in the workflow?
The emails we receive are all formatted like this:
Subject:
[Company Name Workflow] - [Item] has been assigned to you
Content:
Task assigned by [User Name] on [Date].
To complete this task:
1.   Review [Item].
2.   Perform the specific activities required for this task.
3.   Use the Open this task button to mark the task as completed. (If you cannot update this task, you might not have access to it. Click here to request access.)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow notification emails.
We’ll need to do a few things to replace SharePoint’s default notification with our own. The first thing we need to do is turn off SharePoint’s default notification. On the Workflow Tasks list, go the Advanced Settings and select
No for Send e-mail when ownership is assigned. Then we need to create workflow to send email.
There is an article for your reference, although it is about the SharePoint 2007, it still works for SharePoint 2013.

How do I remove an email address from a workflow notification?

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me please. Can you tell me how to remove an old email address from a workflow notification? The person's name and email address have already been removed from the list of Users in the Admin area, but some workflow notifications are still being sent to their email. Any ideas?
Many thanks for your help.

Thanks Liam, I'd previously looked at the also notify field and it didn't show any other email addresses. This time I clicked on the second of my two options in the Workflow Steps field, and then clicked back on the first one again, and hey presto, two email addresses appeared! The offending email address has now been removed.
Thanks again for your help. Cheers!

No new mail notification in Outlook - CAS Exchange RPC Client Access problem

Hi, we're facing this problem:
Users start complaining they suddenly don’t receive new mail notifications in Outlook (2010/2013) anymore
Inbox does not show the new mail either
When the user changes folders in outlook, the new mail does show in the Inbox folder
Restarting Outlook shows the new mail as well.
The same new e-mail arrives instantly (with notifications) in Owa and on mobile devices
Sometimes the new mail notification pops up after a longer period of time (from 30 seconds to 10 minutes). But more often not at all.
This issue seems to occur at random. We’ve been problem free for a week, and sometimes it comes back three times a day.
Clients running Outlook 2010, 2013 cached or online, on site and off site. So it seems server related, not client.
It was seen first around January 8th. We did not make any changes around that time that we can link to this problem.
Only one CAS server (EXCH1-RTD) shows this issue. CAS servers on other sites are ok
EXCH1-RTD has CAS and HUB transport roles. The same site has two mailbox only servers. EXCH2-RTD (mailbox server for normal mailboxes). And EXCH3-RTD (mailbox server for archive mailboxes)
No entries in the event logs that seems to be related
As the problem only occurs with Outlook clients, I suspected RPC issues. We cannot gracefully stop the “Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access” service on EXCH1-RTD while the issue occurs. We
can only kill the process and restart the service, solving the issue instantly.
What we’ve tried until now:
Updated all Exchange servers from Exchange 2010 SP3 RU6 to RU8-v2 (server OS=W2K8R2)
Updated all Exchange servers to latest critical Windows updates
Recalculated requirements using MS Sizing tool. Upgraded EXCH1-RTD VM from 8GB and 2 vCPU (1 core/cpu) to 16GB
and 4vCPU (1 core/cpu)
Ran various perfmon counters and compared them with other Exchange servers, not finding any obvious anomalies.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Ron

Hi Ron,
From your description, OWA works well, the issue is related to Outlook side. In your case, I recommend you use Outlook safe mode to determine whether the issue is related to add-ins. If the issue persists, you can create a new profile to check the result.
Hope this can be helpful to you.
Best regards,

No data found for region error on Workflow notification page

Hi !
For workflow, I have created a Non Form Function in Oracle Applications and linked the region to display in the notification. This region's type is StackLayout.
I created an attribute of type Document and assigned it the value in the form
JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=WF_FUNC
then I added this attribute in the notification message attribute with the Source as Send and Frame Traget as Full Window. Now when the workflow starts, the region does not populate and error shows that there is no data found for this region.
Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi,
We have a unique problem.....for timecard approval notification the HXC_TIMECARD form function is calling embedded Timecard region in the workflow notification.....in the HTML call the AprvNtfRN is called as shown below.
OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/hxc/selfservice/approval/webui/AprvNtfRN&akRegionApplicationId=809
Now the issue is that the email displays uneven format i..e timecard details like project and task name are vertical instead of horizontal.
Is there a way to code HTML in AprvNtfRN so that the format is obtained as desired?
