[LIKELY JUNK]Doubt regarding extended notifications

[Griffiths, Mark]

The confusion here is that two separate tools use the same configuration and there is an overlap on jobs:
 
Extended Notifications to send e-mails about workitems uses config in SWNADMIN or SWNCONFIG and job SWN_SELSEN.
 
Delta Pull is an OPTIONAL mechanism to improve the performance of the UWL.  This uses job RSWNUWLSEL to create entries in SWNCONFIG which are then picked up by job RSWNUWLSEL subsequently running.  This job needs to be scheduled (the userid is not important in my experience, but the frequency is) to enable registration of the UWL for delta pull (not mandatory).
 
If you want to use both mechanisms then your extended notification config stays the same. The difference is that SWN_SELSEN can pick up the config for delta pull too, so you only need to have this scheduled (as per the documented help).  Problem with this is that UWL registration may then fail.  If this happens I create dummy jobs for RSWNUWLSEL to fool the delta pull registration process.
 
Hope this clarifies things!

Subject: [LIKELY JUNK]Doubt regarding extended notifications


  I have a doubt regarding extended notifications. We are running on ECC 6.0 and use UWL for executing the work items. We are using Extended notifications for sending a reminder to outlook. I have the following doubts regarding this. As per the help documentation 

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/d5/581ee8d56f1247bf34cfcd66d16d81/frameset.htm

It is mentioned as follows:
If you want to use extended notifications and the Universal Worklist (UWL) at the same time, you need to make the appropriate configuration settings. 

Create the Configuration Settings Automatically

       1.      Execute the report RSWNUWLSEL once.The Select Work Items screen appears.

       2.      Select Reset Configuration as the mode and FULL Filter as the filter.The report selects the work items and creates the configuration settings.

       3.      Open the view cluster for configuring notifications (see also: Configuring Notifications (View Cluster). 

       4.      Choose UWL as the scenario and UWL_STANDARD as the category.

       5.      Define the schedule for the selection (see also: Selection Schedule).

       6.      Schedule report SWN_SELSEN to run as usual (see also: Report for Selection and Delivery). 

Also in the UWL documentation

 http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/eb/101fa0a53244deb955f6f91929e400/content.htm

It is mentioned as follows :

Setup necessary from Business Workflow to enable Delta Pull Mechanism

Some configuration settings are required if you use the UWL and the Extended Notifications for SAP Business Workflow.

Define the following two batch jobs:

●      Background job (for example UWL_DELTA_PULL_1), consisting of a single step of ABAP report RSWNUWLSEL in FULL mode, using a report variant.

Run the job once a day.

●      A background job (for example UWL_DELTA_PULL_2), consisting of a single step of ABAP report RSWNUWLSEL in DELTA mode (default mode is delta, so report variant is optional).

Run the job every one to three minutes (depending on the performance of the back end SAP system).

So its quite confusing for me. If we do the normal settings in swnconfig it will send a notification for new workitems in SAP Inbox,which is also available in UWL. Then why do we need to do a setting for UWL using the report RSWNUWLSEL. Do we need to schedule this report(RSWNUWLSEL) in background for delta mechanism? What is the use of this.Please clarify.
