[LIKELY JUNK]RE: [LIKELY JUNK]Workaround - "advance in dialog" in UWL.

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Tor, 
Ok well... there are some UWL Wizards that help you create XML config
files if you haven't done it before - suggest you refer to the Darren
Hague sap-press book for those.
 
What you need for this is to create your own UWL XML config delta file
to override the standard XML config for your task. 
Essentially you need an ItemType tag for your task, and within it add
Action tags using the UserDecisionHandler options that call whatever you
need to close off the work item.   There are a number of different
handlers that you could use - e.g. a FunctionModuleHandler,
TransactionHandler, WebDynpro handlers, etc. 
 
Darren's book gives the basic process for working with XML config files,
but you should read the SAP Library Help on advanced uwl configuration
to understand the handler options.
 
And above all look at the existing generated UWL config files - they are
always your guide.  e.g. uwl.standard gives several examples of
different action tags, uwl.webflow.<yoursystemalias> will show the basic
ItemType tag for your task. 
 
You do need to have a separate task for the config - so if you are using
the standard SAP provided user decision task use the Copy with Template
feature on the Control tab of the workflow step to create your own task
for this. 
 
Regards,
Jocelyn

Hi Jocelyn,
 
Thanks for your answer.
 
I do not have so extensive knowledge as yourself, so I would gladly
appreciate if you could explain more in details how this is done.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Best regards,
 
Tor

Hi Tor, 
One option is to use a UWL XML configuration file to override the
standard decision step actions with your own actions.  Just make sure
whatever you call either closes the workitem (e.g. by calling a WAPI) or
sends an event which lets your workflow know that the workitem is
obsolete.

Jocleyn

Hi all.

 

My business case is as following:

 

A user logs on to MSS, and will get a decision step as a workitem in his
UWL.

 

STEP 1:

The decision step will have 3 choices:

1. Go to URL A

2. Go to URL B

3. Exit

 

Choice 1 and 2 will be continued by another activity step (call_url).
Call_url is a method which calls the FM Call_browser (displaying a
certain URL in the browser).

 

STEP 2:

When the user clicks on "Go to URL A", the system should launch the
URL(call_url method is called) without having to open a new workitem
called "Call URL".

 

As you probaby know, UWL doesn`t support "synchonous dialog chain" /
"advance in dialog".

 Secondary method (amodal method) is a workaround.

  


Question:

The best solution would of course be, if there is a possibility to make
step 1 continue directly to step 2 without having to go through another
workitem (a seamless transition - like using "advance in dialog" in
Business Managers Workplace).

How can this be done?

 

I would glady appreciate your input.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Best regards,

 

Tor
