UWL Configuration SAP EP 7.3
Universal Worklist with SAP NetWeaver Portal is a centralized access
point for business workflow items across heterogeneous systems. SAP UWL
enables Portal Users to manage workflow items via centralized UWL inbox.
SAP Universal Worklist being a part of standard SAP Enterprise Portal installation requires no prerequisites. UWL establish connection to various provider systems using comprehensive configuration. Using provider system specific connectors, it fetches tasks using pull mechanism to feed inbox, serving portal users their work-list items at a centralized workplace.
Configuring UWL for Guided Procedure on Local CE
Portal users can get access to Universal Worklist inbox by assigning ‘Every User Core Role’.
Guided procedure is prominent workflow provider in SAP CE (Composition Environment). To obtain Guided Procedure work items in UWL, a simple configuration is required.
Configuration steps:
Go to Content Administration -> Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP -> End User Content -> Standard Portal Users -> iViews -> com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.iviews -> Universal Worklist
PCD Path:
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/general/iViews/com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.iviews/com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.uwl_iview
Assign this standard UWL IView to role.
Now there will not be any Item Under tasks Tab. (cause we have not configured the uwl yet)
After Finding the IView.
We have to create two System Objects:
Create the system object one and mention the default properties.
also create system alias for it.
Important * Second System object's WAS properties be Pointed to Portal Itself.
ICM hostname Should be Portals'.
Example: <host name of portal>:<portnumber of portal>
(copy paste this from portals url)
create system alias SAP_Webdynpro_XSS .
