class=221191811-07082008>You can't get the inbox to automatically refresh after
execution, however, to help increase performance you can turn on the Delta Pull
mechanism for the UWL - this borrows the same functionality used by extended
notifications to provide a repository of workflow item 'notifications' which can
be accessed much faster than the standard route. The idea is that the UWL
can then connect every minute to the backend rather than the usual 5
minutes.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

search on UWL Delta Pull it requires scheduling some jobs on the backend and
then you edit your UWL webflow connector to tell it to use Delta Pull.
Word of warning though, getting the connection to register can prove a challenge
depending on how your user management is set up and there a number of notes
out there to apply.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

PM<BR>Subject: RE: Fw: UWL - refresh inbox after workitem
execution?<BR><BR>Paul, <BR><BR>There are a lot of technical hurdles in making
it work. The main problem is<BR>that the UWL is designed to handle anything you
throw at it - which it does<BR>quite well. The downside here is that it has to
cater for the lowest common<BR>denominator and standardize on that. In this case
it's a back-end/SAPGUI<BR>task which launches in a separate WinGUI window where
all communication gets<BR>lost, therefore the UWL can never know when a task
finishes. <BR><BR>Technically this doesn't happen anyway. The UWL doesn't 'know'
because<BR>there's no transaction concept, the key difference to SBWP is that
the UWL<BR>*launches* a task. Thus it's the task that needs to signal to the UWL
when<BR>it's done. In our case we built some task executions directly into the
UWL<BR>so that it executed in it's own subframe, or else the BSP launched by
the<BR>task would navigate the user back to the UWL upon completion. In other
words<BR>the task does the refresh (sortof). Again, this was only possible
because we<BR>developed both task and worklist using BSP. <BR><BR>Like I said:
if you have a few months to spare....<BR><BR>Cheers, <BR>Mike<BR><BR><BR>>

Guys<BR>> <BR>> That's very interesting...... so it _can_ be done.... but
then I wonder<BR>> why<BR>> SAP doesn't enhance<BR>> their own UWL
product with nifty features like "self-refreshing after<BR>> every<BR>>
workitem execution".<BR>> <BR>> One could say the clients are too
demanding, but hey, it's what they're<BR>> used to after using<BR>> SBWP
(the SAP-GUI workflow inbox).<BR>> <BR>> thanks for your responses<BR>>
