SWFVISU question

Hi Gaurav,
Transaction SWFVISU is used to maintain a table which determines which launch mechanism is used when executing work items.
For each dialog task used in your workflow, enter the task id "TS" + number and the visualization type, e.g. iview, web dynpro abap, web dynpro java, portal component, etc. You can also specify any visualization parameters if necessary.
Essentially it's a quick way to ensure the correct launch mechanism is used when the usual re-register of work item types may not be able to determine the launch mechanism accurately enough on its own.
I'd suggest you fill the table and then run the "re-register of work item types" from UWL administration.
You just enter your tasks in the transaction directly - as once-off configuration. There's no need for any function modules.
If you are trying to figure out the task id/ config used by a particular work item, turn on the UWL Support Info via the Portal Content configuration - very helpful.

Subject: SWFVISU question
Hi Friends,
I have a some doubts regarding the use of the transaction SWFVISU.
ERP2004 onwards SAP suggests the use of the workflow WS12300111 for Time mgmt and leave applications. If as a normal workflow programmer you go to thte first dialog step, it uses a class method designed to throw error. So when the workitem is executed form the SAP Inbox the WF goes into error.
The workitems are meant to be executed from the web environment, eg. ESS/MSS and the configuration for the same is maintained in the Xac "SWFVISU".
Can anybody please let me know the process flow while executing workitems from Web and how the config in SWFVISU is used and which FM (if any) are used to configure the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Gaurav.

There is an OSS note out there that talks about entries on table
SWLWPTSSID - 746709. Unless you are on WAS 640, you must maintain this
table manually in each environment. That is what we had to do.

Subject: Issue with transporting webservices & generated tasks.
Hi All,
URL is being incorrectly prepared whenever task[associcated with
webservice] is executed; hence BSP page/webserive is not started in
browser. This I am facing in QA.
After debugging in QA, I found, linkage missing between webservices &
tasks[which was generated from WF_extsrv].
Entries for the same linkage, i could see it in table "SWLWPTSSID"(Task
Linkages for WebFlow Services) in DEV. I am not sure why this is not
locked under Transport.
(one more observation during development in DEV is, Generated tasks are by
default saved under &tmp; I have manually assigned them another packa! ge
for transporting)
As for as my understanding this is causing the problem.
So now the question is how these entries can be transported into QA?
or should I maintain this table directly in QA? (SAP allows maintenance of
this table directly; I have verified this from SM30). [I guess this table
maintained manually, the reason being this table also contains Logical
system name; And this value will be different in DEV & QA hence can't
transported from DEV to QA. Correct me if am wrong].
Hints please to "fix" this(corrective actions). And how this can be
prevented in first place(in DEV itself).
we have to fix this as early as possible.
I would appreciate if any one can summarize what steps need to be followed
before and after transporting the webservices into QA. otherwise please
provide me the links to documentation on this subject.
Thanking in advance.
Pramod.

Hi Eric,
Create a dummy step that does nothing, and put it in a fork parallel to
your wait for event:
Branch A -> Wait for event
Branch B -> Wait step (dummy method) with requested start! of 2 days.
After 2 days the step in branch B will execute, terminating the fork and
killing the wait for event step.
Cheers
Mike

Hi everyone,
I have some problems with email notification attachments sent out to users, hope you can be of help. I'm on 4.6c.
So we're running an invoice approval workflow and at a certain point, an office document (type SOFM) is sent as an attachment of the notification email with the help of a method sofm-compose based task. The attached office document contains further an ArchiveLink object converted to a .fax format image (not sure of the terms..) which the user can then read with an ixos viewer.
My problem is that the .fax file getting sent is not the complete copy of the original scanned image which resides in the ixos content server. If you're familiar with ixos! viewer, you can sometimes see multi-page invoices - the problem is that the .fax-file contains only one page and the other pages are discarded.
Previously in the workflow, there is a custom task which gets the image from the ixos content server, creates an sofm document for it and attaches it to the invoice with a binary relation. Based on the sofm object key, the document is then eventually put into a workflow container element and used in the send mail step.
So somewhere in the process of creating the office document containing the archivelink object link and sending it as an email attachment with sofm-compose the other pages of the invoice image are left out. I presume it must be somewhere when creating the SOFM object with the image as an attachment, but I haven't been able to check this because I'm getting a mysterious error "Maintain ArchiveLink in the file 'front.ini'" and I don't know how o fix it based on note 566398. If I were able to instantiate the sofm o! bject and display its attachments I'd probably be able to limit this to the .fax-file creation phase.
But would you have any suggestions where I should look into with this one before going to OSS? Any experiences, tips and hints are very appreciated since my hair will soon be pulled off completely...
Best regards,
Mikko

Hi Jacob,
Webservice replaces EXTSRV - do not go back to EXTSRV.
Read the UWL administration guide on help.sap.com (its in the latest
NetWeaver EP help). You need to make sure you have completed the
relevant config in the Portal Content section of the UWL.
You also need to make sure you have re-registered the work item types
after you created the task.
A couple of other options: use transaction WF_EXTSRV to enter your
webservice URL and parameters and generate a task from this.
There's also a table in R/3 that the UWL uses to determine what launch
mechanism to use for specific tasks. Can't remember the name but I think
you can find it in the UWL admin guide - probably in the section on work
item launch execution.

Subject: page display in UWL with WEBSERVICE object
Howdy,
Sorry for the previous bad post. I'm using the WEBSERVICE object to
open a BSP in the universal work list on a NetWeaver 05 portal and don't
like the way the BSP is displayed. When I click on the work item, the
WebGUI is started and the BSP appears in another window. I need to
prevent
the WebGUI from being used, if at all possible. Is there an easy way to
get
around this? Would EXTSRV be a better option?
Thanks,
Jacob
