Hi Mikko,
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately at the momment, in our system it doesn't work as you described it. I've tried the things that worked for you but in my case it didn't work. The only time I could get the workitem to appear in the substitutes UWL view is when the substitute relationship was created in the backend system.
You appear to be running an earlier version of the portal than we have. We're running Netweaver 2004S (RUNW04S) which is slightly newer. Is anyone else running this version?
As we are a rampup site, I'm going to report this to OSS.
Thanks,
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
I think you have got the wrong information, UWL substitute management does
link to the backend substitutions and maintains them beautifully in the
lates versions. I verified this by testing an EP6.0 SP14/ECC5.0 system and
after maintaining the substitutions of person A in the portal, A:s work
items were displayed without any problems in person B:s Business Workplace
in the ECC system.
With regards to the substitute management updating multiple backends, I
wasn't able to test this fully but I put in a screenshot from the substitut=
e
maintenance screen (attached) which implies that multiple backends can be
updated. So I would with 99% certainty say that yes, it's possible too.
I haven't actually done the UWL systems config here but I think there's
nothing else to it regarding substitutions than configuring the systems.
Substitution rules can also be maintained in the backend system.
Hope this helps,
Mikko
