Unable to use UWL userdecision with MSS tripapproval in NW2004S SP10

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We're having some problems implementing the userdecision functionality in a customized UWL view that shows tripapprovals. We've included 2 extra columns, one for approve and one for reject. The XML code has been drawn from the standard HR UWL views that come shipped with the ESS/MSS BPs.

When executing either of the 2 userdecisions, all I get in return is an error message that says "null". Nothing more. In the uwl.log file I can see several entries that go like: "No object instance key available for attributes lookup".

I also tried to start the views shipped with ESS / MSS, but I cannot get them to work either.

So, any ideas on how to solve this? Anyone ever successfully implemented userdecisions with MSS? Is there some configuration missing in the backend or is it the UWL / portal?

My XML config file:

<!ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.roles/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_travel_expenses/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.tripform"/>>

Hope you can help!

Systems:

EP: NW 2004S 7.0 SP10 (UNIX)

Backend: ECC 6.0 (UNIX)

I solved this issue.

What I had to do was to move the approve and reject actions into the ItemType section instead of the View-section. Then all worked like a charm.

A short comment to the post above. The solution is only true when using the old UI. When switching to the Web Dynpro UI, I had to revert the change, and put the actions withing the view-section... Seems a bit buggy to me...
