UWL Custom Attributes (Griffiths, Mark)

[eneko.bilbao@accenture.com]

Hi Mark and Experts,

Thanks for your input, however I actually don't want to display the
parameter in a view of the UWL, I am simply trying to pass it to my
iView.

Any one have any suggestions as to why the parameter is NULL even when
the workflow container is populated?

Thanks,

What you have done so far looks OK at a quick glance, but you don't seem
to have specified a view?

If you want to see attributes in columns the only way I know of doing
this (I am happy to be told otherwise) is to create a view.  With your
XML code below you need a section after your itemtypes for views where
you specify your relevant tasks and then the columns including custom
attributes which refer back to your item type section.

Hope this helps,

Subject: UWL Custom Attributes 

Hi Experts,

I am having terrible problems using custom attributes in the UWL. I
cannot retrieve elements from an ECC workflow container. I always
receive NULL. The standard attributes of the UWL work fine, it's just
when I add new ones. 

Perhaps you could share some of your tips and tricks (Mark/Jocelyn?) - I
have spent several hours on this now and can't get away from the NULL
result - very frustrating!  

Before you ask, yes I have read all the SDN forum posts and tried using
the XML examples on help.sap.com, I have also validated my XML code in
IE and it correctly uploads to SAP's UWL. As far as I know, I have my
XML code correct but am still receiving NULL for all custom attributes
in the UWL.

We are on EP7, BASIS700, SP15. 

My test XML code is below if you have a moment to check:




<ItemTypes>
  <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS95000024"
connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView"
defaultAction="launchIViewPostingPlan" >
    <ItemTypeCriteria  externalType="TS95000024"
connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
    <CustomAttributes>
      <CustomAttributeSource id="WEBFLOW_CONTAINER"
objectIdHolder="externalObjectId" objectType="WebFlowContainer"
cacheValidity="final">
        <Attribute name="HRAdminRuleID" type="string" displayName="Admin
Rule ID Test"/>
      </CustomAttributeSource>
    </CustomAttributes>
    <Actions>
      <Action name="launchIViewPostingPlan" handler="IViewLauncher"
returnToDetailViewAllowed="no" launchInNewWindow="yes"
launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar
=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
        <Properties>
          <Property name="iview"

          <Property name="GuiType" value="WEBGUI"/>
          <Property name="ApplicationParameter"
value="RP50G-PERNR=${item.HRAdminRuleID}"/>
          <Property name="AutoStart" value="1"/>
        </Properties>
        <Descriptions default="View Posting Plan List">
          <ShortDescriptions>
            <Description Language="en" Description="View Posting Plan
List"/>
          </ShortDescriptions>
        </Descriptions>
      </Action>
    </Actions>
  </ItemType>
</ItemTypes>
