Thanks for that. Where would I start with the 'overide for the decision
task in UWL XML configuration'

RE: UWL and USERDECSIONHANDLER
John,
We’ve been able to use the backend workflow for all cases but one.
The one case is when a manager is Rejecting a Business Trip. In the
backend workflow, the user clicks on the Reject button in a decision step
(BO-Decision, Method-Process) and then immediately following a window
appears where they are expected to enter the reason(BO-SOFM,
Method-Compose). These are two separate tasks in the workflow.
In the UWL, I can present the approval/rejection decision along with the
reason for rejection text box in one view by entering in the XML
configuration an override for the decision task. However, I need to skip
the subsequent step that asks for user to enter a reason for rejection.
This is the oft-mentioned “Advance with Dialog” issue in UWL.
By and large, the workflow without modification, has functioned just fine
in the UWL.
Hope this helps…
Bob

Hi
I posted a request earlier regarding Trip Approval. Your post has raised a
couple of questions. We also will be using Portal and SapGui as entry
points.
I am familiar with the workflow process in the backend R3 system but not
touched the Portal side. I was assuming the workflow developed in the
backend, would be the same one used if decision were made in Portal or
SAPGUI, but it sounds from your post that there are restrictions, could
you explain and point me to further documentation of what these are and
how I overcome them, before I start the development.
Many Thanks

UWL and USERDECSIONHANDLER
We are rolling out Travel Management through ESS to our users on EP 7.0
and ECC 6.0. We’ve had our own custom workflow for approval/rejection of
Travel Management expenses which has been operational through the SAPGUI
for years. Because of extensive role resolution logic in the backend
workflow, I’d like to utilize the same workflow regardless of whether the
decisions are processed through the SAPGUI or the Portal. However, I’d
have to put some decisions in the workflow to test whether an approval was
done via the UWL to bypass tasks with SOFM-Compose method. It should be
easy.
For the Approve/Reject in the UWL, the USERDECISIONHANDLER in the XML
file, has worked fine. Specifying the UserDecisionNote as mandatory has
allowed me to require text entry for a rejection as well.
Now, to the crux of the issue. I need to get a value back to the workflow
container to indicate that the decision task was performed in the UWL. The
UPDATINGCONTAINERHANDLER would seem to fit the bill nicely. Yet, I can’t
make the UPDATINGCONTAINERHANDLER work with the USERDECISIONHANDLER. The
XML is below. Is this possible?
Or, should I just can it and get a custom iView created to do what I need?
We’ve already started to go down that path…
Thanks!
Bob
