Howto: edit Universal Worklist User Interface - com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.ui

[Former Member]

Hi,

In the Universal Worklist, I'd like to add a button that would handle the Substitution action.

This action is currently accessible in a drop down menu, but my client doesn't like it.

I know that it's possible to customize certain things like removing actions, by changing the iView parameters.

But this can't help me "create a new button" in the UWL view.

So I wanted to modify the webdynpro UI UWL application.

It seems to me that application is called com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.ui, that I found in a PAR file (com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.ui.par) with FTP and that I found in a SCA file :

UWLJWF12P_3-10003490.sca

And this SCA file contains an EAR file :

- DEPLOYARCHIVES/sap.com_tckmc_bc.uwl.uiwd_ui.ear

And this EAR file contains an WDA file AND a ZIP file :

- sap.com_tckmc_bc.uwl.uiwd_ui.wda

- src.zip

So It seems I got the UWL UI projet sources, but I reallly wonder if I can use it in a new Web Dynpro project in NWDS and how can I add it ?

Thank you for your help in advance,

I will reward helping contributors!

Hello,

The correct way to do this is by modifying the UWL XML Configuration.

I would not recommend modifying the UWL Web Dynpro application.

Please see the following topic for example how buttons are added:

This Action is not valid for this item.

Also  think it not hit backend also.

Any idea...

Hi Radhesh,

You say that you get an error: This Action is not valid for this item.".

It may be that there is some error in the XML configuration.

Just for the sake of investigation, if you revert (remove) the customized configuration do you still get the error? Do not forget to clear cache after each configuration change.

Best regards,

Valeri

DO you have any ready made XML for MASS Approval Process.

[valeri_nikolov]

Please find this blog for Mass approval scenario.

Depending of your work item types you need to use different action handlers. If workitems are of type user decision then use the UserDecisionHandler in your XML.

See this SCN article.

http://scn.sap.com/community/netweaver-portal/administration-and-development/blog/2011/03/11/mass-pr...

In the above article the work items are not decision so function module handler is used:

Back on the original topic, the adding of the button to the UWL to handle the substitution action should be pretty straightforward.

If you post your XML here I will take a look at it and see what can be wrong with it.

Create a new webdynpro project.

Save and close it.

On the OS go to the project directory and replace the src folder from your project folder.

Open the project and rebuild it.

I hope this will help you.

Hi Santosh,

It didn't work.

The structure of the file doesn't correspond at all with the structure of a wdp project.

Thank you for your answer though.
