<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks for the reply Shai.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I guess I was not clear on my initial
question. I understand the behavior that Advance with Dialog has
nothing to with how it returns to the UWL, but rather the SAP GUI is what
causes the "Close Window" to appear.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The question is: Can I automatically
return to UWL inbox after I execute a workitem that has the SAP GUI settings?</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Verdana">Hi Joe,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Verdana"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Verdana">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.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Verdana"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Verdana">This is SAP standard behaviour however
please note for the followings cases:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1. </font><font size=2 face="Verdana">No
open SAP sessions and workitem execution creates SAP session - in this
case the message you described will appear.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2. </font><font size=2 face="Verdana">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).</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">3. </font><font size=2 face="Verdana">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.</font>
<p><font size=2 face="Verdana">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).</font>
<p><font size=2 face="Verdana"> </font>
<p><font size=2 face="Verdana">BTW, I highly recommend on using the UWL.</font>
<p><font size=2 face="Verdana"> </font>

Good morning,<br>
<br>
Happy Holidays!<br>
<br>
We're upgrading to EP 7.0 and we plan on start using UWL when the upgrade
<br>
is completed and I'm looking into the UWL customization. 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>
