Thanks for the reply Shai.
I guess I was not clear on my initial question. I understand the
behavior that Advance with Dialog has nothing to with how it returns to
the UWL, but rather the SAP GUI is what causes the "Close Window" to
appear.
The question is: Can I automatically return to UWL inbox after I execute
a workitem that has the SAP GUI settings?
Thanks.

Re: Returning to UWL inbox, after "Advance with Dialog "
Hi Joe,
The issue you described has nothing to do with UWL "Advance with Dialog" -
it will happen every time you will open SAP GUI via UWL or even from
shortcut file created via RSWUWFML2. It will not happen for workitem
execution via SBWP and I'll explain why.
This is SAP standard behaviour however please note for the followings
cases:
1. No open SAP sessions and workitem execution creates SAP session -
in this case the message you described will appear.
2. Open SAP sessions exists in SAP main menu - workitem execution
will use existing session and once done the system will return to SAP main
menu (no message).
3. Open SAP sessions exists not in SAP main menu - workitem execution
will create new session and once done the system will close this session
without displaying the message.
In most cases I experienced case 1 is the most frequent and users
complains about the message. I implemented enhancement to skip the message
as happens in case 3. You should place it in program RSWKSTRT (executed
via transaction SWK1 whenever you execute workitem via UWL).
BTW, I highly recommend on using the UWL.
Good luck,
Regards,

Good morning,
Happy Holidays!
We're upgrading to EP 7.0 and we plan on start using UWL when the upgrade
is completed and I'm looking into the UWL customization. One of the
workflows I'm using to test/understand the differences between SBWP/UWL
has several decision steps followed by dialog steps to perform actions
related on the appropriate selected option. This approach, of course,
works nicely in SBWP, but it requires that some customization be
performed in UWL, via xml. Thanks to the book by Darren Hague I was able
to have the work items behave in a manner that would be close to what we
want (advance with dialog and on the same window as the UWL) See xml
file below in Figure 2.
The issue I'm having is that after the last step it the advance with
dialog is executed, I'm left with a SAP-GUI window with a message "Close
Window" and I'm forced to click on the "Universal Worklist:" link again to
return to the inbox (Figure 1)
Is there a way to return to the UWL inbox after I execute a WI in SAP-GUI?
Thanks in advance for your help.
