UWL SP12 & 13

[Bijay Shrestha]

Seems like every SP has some issues which will be fixed by another SP. I
had an issue that was fixed in SP2 UWL freaks out if you have more than
1000 items in your UWL Inbox. At that time SAP gave us separate patch to
fix this issue and everybody was happy.
 
After some time our Portal team decided to upgrade to SP 9, then UWL
issue was back again. However this time SAP replied me that I can't have
separate patch anymore, we need to upgrade to SP12/13. 
 
The issue is I can't go convince the bigger user group to upgrade just
for one this issue because there too many application needs to be tested
with many Analysts time. Currently we are planning to upgrade to SP13,
now I see this another issue that we need to go to SP 14.
 
I think our life would be lot easier if SAP could isolate the issue and
give the specific patch to fix rather than tell us to upgrade whole
Portal SP for any minor (I don't mean to sound this issue is technically
really minor though) issues. 
 
Thanks.

And the answer from SAP is:
 
Dear customer,

 

This is a known issue that is currently being worked on by development.

 

The issue is still being worked on and it should be available with SP 14

SP 14 will be released in the first week of October.

 

They issue is taking some time to solve so there is no workaround

or fix available at the moment.

 

             
So If you have a WF with the situationed outlined below you may wish to
think twice about SP12/13.

We have recently applied SP12 and SP13 to our portal. A number of errors
have been introduced by these packs. 

One of these is that a Workflow(WF) has ceased to work correctly. The WF
has a step in it that displays an ABAP screen to the user and on this
screen the user will add data and reject or approve the WF.

After applying the packs the ABAP screen does not display. Instead we
receive a UWL screen like this when we access the task through the UWL

*-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Process AMPS Task:  THURSDAY 7 
  
  
Launch SAP Task  Forward  Reserve  Create Ad-Hoc Request  Display
Details in SAP Gui  Return

  Workflow system 
 The unique ID "Workflow system" is not valid! 
  
  Exception Details:    

Status  
New 

Priority  
Normal 
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This screen is basically the normal decision step task without the
Approve Reject Buttons. 

The Exception that is reported is on all our UWL screens of this type
and is probably not related to this error. 
When the task is viewed through the Sap Inbox(SBWP) the ABAP screen
comes up correctly. 

Technical details: 
The screen is an ABAP screen. 
The workflow step has 3 outcomes that are linked to terminating events
on the task. 
The task has the "Object Method with Dialog" set 
The business object referenced by the task "Dialog" option set 

NOTHING in the WF the business object or the screen has changed. The
only change was the application of SP12 and SP13.
