<DIV>Here's a list of the actions I have undertaken thus far:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) Configured the UWL to display the SAP Inbox (SAP GUI for HTML is the
default-SWK1)</DIV>
<DIV>2)Configured the XML for the registered work items to display task

<DIV>4) Used the UWL-Launch MiniApp to display the ITS Template</DIV>
<DIV> in the XML w/out success.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My questions are: </DIV>
<DIV>1) How does the UWL- Launch SAP Transaction or UWL -Launch MiniApp
work?</DIV>
<DIV>2) Is there anyone in the forum who has configured the UWL to display the
SRM Web Inbox, and executed them from the portal, and how was it done?</DIV>

<DIV>Hello Workflow Experts,</DIV>
<DIV>I have configured the UWL in Enterprise Portal 6.0 using a "How To"
document from the SDN, as well as the SAP HELP documentation. </DIV>
<DIV>The work items in the UWL Inbox are SAP GUI for HTML. However, I

functionalities.</DIV>
<DIV>Does anyone have a clue as to resolving this dilemma?</DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy">We just converted from the
SAP Office inbox to the UWL with the implementation of the SAP
Portal. The big plus for users here is one stop shopping,
i.e., all SAP Office inboxes (R/3, EBP, ESS) are now available
in one place. Before, users had to enter via SBWP to
approve separately in each system. The biggest negative
with the UWL is the loss of the "advance with dialog" feature.
We've had to write custom code to compensate for
this. I think this is a major loss, although I haven't
seen any other complaints on WUG on the topic.

<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1in"><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">We are using Portal 6.0, and because of
unfamiliarity, etc., etc., we had replaced the Universal Work
List (UWL) with the SAP Business Workplace (transaction SBWP)
using Windows HTML GUI. We have a handful of workflow
approval tasks (PR approvals, Fixed Asset retirement approvals,
Absence Request approvals, etc.) that we route to people in
their Workflow Inboxes, which should be available with either
"tool". </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1in"><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">We are in the process of moving from SAP
R/3 4.6B to MySAP ERP (ECC 5.0). In light of this, I have
been asked to provide pros and cons regarding replacing the
Business Workplace with the UWL, since the UWL is the default
tool in Portal. Do any of you have any strong arguments
either for or against the use of UWL as opposed to the Business
Workplace? Some of our users really like the ability to do
their automatic forwarding, substitution maintenance, outbox
maintenance, etc., from Portal. Most of these things
especially don't seem to be available in the UWL.
