<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=269031706-05092007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>My suggestion is to change the behaviour on the UWL side
for the "Change document" answer to launch the edit document
transaction directly instead of returning the answer to the user decision
step itself. <SPAN class=269031706-05092007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>You should only need to add a terminating event on the
workflow side so that after updating the document the user decision step is
completed. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=269031706-05092007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Actually there is no need in this scenario to include the
edit document step in your workflow - unless you are supporting both the UWL and
the SAP Business Workplace inbox, in which case you would need to use the
terminating event to end both the decision step and the edit document step.

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Jocelyn,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial
size=2> Here
is what i am doing in my workflow :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2> 1) a decison box with
two buttons :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial
size=2> i)
change and re-submit document</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial
size=2> ii)
delete document</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>This decison goes to the requestor when the
approver rejects the document.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>when the user (requestor) selects change
and re-submit ,the next dailog workitem (advance with dailog step) is
executed which opens the standard sap transaction to edit the
document.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>and when user selects delete , a background
step is called which deletes the document.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>it works perfectly in SAP but the same does
not happen in UWL as i read the note which says advance with dailog not possible
in Portal/UWL.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>is the below solution you suggested much on
the UWL /portal side or on the workflow side..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>any suggestions?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=633313805-30082007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Don't do it Yogesh! It's not worth the losses in
features and functionality. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=633313805-30082007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=633313805-30082007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>BUT... there is a BETTER WAY.... </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=633313805-30082007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=633313805-30082007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Using UWL XML Configuration you can configure additional
buttons for your user decision using the <Action> tag.
</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=633313805-30082007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>You can also adjust the decision actions however you want.
</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=633313805-30082007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>So you can combine your user decision and follow on
transaction into one step. This is only possible with the
UWL!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=633313805-30082007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=633313805-30082007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>So this way you can e.g. Have buttons something like the
following:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=633313805-30082007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=633313805-30082007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>a) Approve only - updates the user decision step with the
chosen key</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=633313805-30082007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>b) Approve and Change PO - takes you straight into the SAP
transaction. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=633313805-30082007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=633313805-30082007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>To complete the circuit you need to of course be able to
recognise that your user has gone straight to the SAP transaction and that the
answer to the decision step is implied. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=633313805-30082007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=633313805-30082007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>You could do this by listening for an appropriate
terminating event or by wrapping your transaction call in something
else such as a function module or a wrapper transaction - but a terminating
event is easier. i.e. This way you have a user decision plus a wait
for terminating event, rather than a user decision plus a call transaction
step. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
