Hi, the standard UWL, does not provide automatic refresh. But there is a way that you can do it very easily. Copy the UWL Iview to new custom ivew, and upon action items, you can link custom code ( Embeding Java Script ) which will do the refresh for you. 
Check with Portal consulant for how to modify a iview and on action how to refresh ivews. 
At the end of the day, UWL is a view which you can always copy and can  make a new one.

You  need to use HR Structural Authorisations as both Rules and
Responsibilities are HR objects. 
SHD0 will only give you very light protection.

Hi Karl,
Using transaction SHD0 create a transaction variant for OOCU_RESP for each
responsibility rule to be maintained.  Then using SE93 created a custom
transaction and select "Transaction with variant" and specify
transaction OOCU_RESP and the variant you just created.
 
Then you can assign the custom transaction to the appropriate security role(s)
and nobody ever executes OOCU_RESP directly.
 
I do this all the time with SM30 for custom table maintenance.  
 
Hope this helps.

Hi,

Is it possible to limit access to specific rules when using OOCU_RESP?  We have
a business scenario whereby nominated users need to update a specific rule in an
environment, but should not be allowed to update any other rules within that
environment due to data sensitivity.  I could not easily find an authorisation
object that related to workflow rules.

Thanks.

Hi Carol,
 
We've recently hit the same bug in our upgrade testing too.
 
My initial hunch was to check whether all of the mandatory importing parameters
were being passed to the method, as ECC 6 is a lot stricter about that sort of
thing. 
 
In our case our 4.6c Task binding is trying to send through an initialised
container element called &FALSE& (which was a BOOLE-BOOLE that had not
been set by any container operation). 
 
In the actual binding for the errored steps for this Workflow in ECC 6 I
checked SWW_CONT and could not find an entry for the mandatory parameter this
was supposed to be passed to.
 
Interestingly in another step of another Workflow we know this method works
fine if proper fixed values are passed, e.g. constant of 'X'.
 
Consequently I suspect that an initialised field binding like this doesn't
quite work anymore. I haven't had time yet to check OSS but maybe you could
have a peek at your binding to see if this sounds similar?

12:39:00 +0100Subject: After ECC 6.0 upgrade - OL383 Source and target structure
have a different number of fields

Hi All,
 
I'm quite new to workflow and have a bespoke task (created by a consultant
who has now left) which is failing in workflow after the Upgrade to ECC 6.0.
 
The task is based on a subtype of BUS2089 EmployeeTrip, and calls a bespoke
Function Module as a wrapper for SAP_WAPI_SUBSTITUTES_GET to determine the
substitutes for a task agent.
 
It works fine in 4.72.
 
I've tested both the standard FM, the bespoke FM and the method (via
transaction SWO1) and they return expected values, but when I call the task in
the WF, it fails on IMPORT_FROM_BOR_CONTAINER with "The source and target
structure have a different number of fields" Message no. OL383. 
 
The Step <-> Workflow bindings check out OK.
 
Can anyone advise what the problem is, or point me in the direction of how to
investigate further,
 
Many thanks
Carol Gordon

Hi Sharath,

If you are making use of CATS BAPIS to create time entries ..such as

BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_CHANGE     CATS: Change Data Records
BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_DELETE     CATS: Delete Data Records
BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_INSERT     CATS: Insert Data Records
BAPI_CATIMESHEETRECORD_GETLIST Time Sheet: Data Record List

if you use BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_DELETE  this will automatically delete the
approval workitem from manager's inbox.
also changes the status to deleted in CATSDB.

Hope it helps.
Harshita

You can't get the inbox to automatically refresh after execution, however,
to help increase performance you can turn on the Delta Pull mechanism for the
UWL - this borrows the same functionality used by extended notifications to
provide a repository of workflow item 'notifications' which can be
accessed much faster than the standard route.  The idea is that the UWL can then
connect every minute to the backend rather than the usual 5 minutes.
 
There is plenty of help on this in help.sap.com - just search on UWL Delta Pull
it requires scheduling some jobs on the backend and then you edit your UWL
webflow connector to tell it to use Delta Pull.  Word of warning though, getting
the connection to register can prove a challenge depending on how your user
management is set up and there a number of notes out there to apply.
 
To further improve usability also try tweaking some of the UWL iview parameters
that control refreshing and buffering to, for example, increase the speed that
the UWL first loads.

They don't do it as standard for PERFORMANCE reasons. 
You can clear expired items in the UWL admin .

Subject: RE: Fw: UWL - refresh inbox after workitem execution?

Paul, 

There are a lot of technical hurdles in making it work. The main problem is
that the UWL is designed to handle anything you throw at it - which it does
quite well. The downside here is that it has to cater for the lowest common
denominator and standardize on that. In this case it's a back-end/SAPGUI
task which launches in a separate WinGUI window where all communication gets
lost, therefore the UWL can never know when a task finishes. 

Technically this doesn't happen anyway. The UWL doesn't 'know'
because
there's no transaction concept, the key difference to SBWP is that the UWL
*launches* a task. Thus it's the task that needs to signal to the UWL when
it's done. In our case we built some task executions directly into the UWL
so that it executed in it's own subframe, or else the BSP launched by the
task would navigate the user back to the UWL upon completion. In other words
the task does the refresh (sortof). Again, this was only possible because we
developed both task and worklist using BSP. 

Like I said: if you have a few months to spare....

Cheers, 
Mike
