<DIV>Hi Joe,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The issue you described has nothing to do with UWL "Advance with Dialog" - it will happen every time you will open SAP GUI via UWL or even from shortcut file created via RSWUWFML2. It will not happen for workitem execution via SBWP and I'll explain why.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is SAP standard behaviour however please note for the followings cases:</DIV>
<OL>
<LI>No open SAP sessions and workitem execution creates SAP session - in this case the message you described will appear.</LI>
<LI>Open SAP sessions exists in SAP main menu - workitem execution will use existing session and once done the system will return to SAP main menu (no message).</LI>
<LI>Open SAP sessions exists not in SAP main menu - workitem execution will create new session and once done the system will close this session without displaying the message.</LI></OL>
<P>In most cases I experienced case 1 is the most frequent and users complains about the message. I implemented enhancement to skip the message as happens in case 3. You should place it in program RSWKSTRT (executed via transaction SWK1 whenever you execute workitem via UWL).</P>
<P> </P>
<P>BTW, I highly recommend on using the UWL.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Good luck,<BR> </P>

One of the <BR>workflows I'm using to test/understand the differences between SBWP/UWL <BR>has several decision steps followed by dialog steps to perform actions <BR>related on the appropriate selected option. This approach, of course, <BR>works nicely in SBWP, but it
requires that some customization be <BR>performed in UWL, via xml. Thanks to the book by Darren Hague I was able <BR>to have the work items behave in a manner that would be close to what we <BR>want (advance with dialog and on the same window as the UWL) See xml <BR>file below in Figure 2.<BR><BR>The issue I'm having is that after the last step it the advance with <BR>dialog is executed, I'm left with a SAP-GUI window with a message "Close <BR>Window" and I'm forced to click on the "Universal Worklist:" link again to <BR>return to the inbox (Figure 1) <BR><BR>Is there a way to return to the UWL inbox after I execute a WI in SAP-GUI?<BR><BR>Thanks in advance for your help.<BR><BR>Figure 1.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Figure 2.<BR><BR>Custom_TS993000XX.xml <BR><BR><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><BR><BR><!DOCTYPE UWLConfiguration PUBLIC '-//SAP//UWL1.0//EN' <BR>'uwl_configuration.dtd'<BR> ><BR><UWLConfiguration
