UWL Notification and SAP Inbox

[former_member252723]

Dear All,

I have developed a leave application in webdynpro abap and my requirement is to send notification in the UWL.

I have selected the activity as Email then the notification is coming in UWL but when i select the activity as INBOX it is only coming to SAP Inbox not in the UWL.

Please Advice..

regards

Mustafa

The notifications will not appear in UWL by default. You need to deploy a Sonic connector to the portal in order to display the notifications in the UWL notifications tab.

Another option could be to replace the send mail step in workflow as a decision step. Just write the same message to the decision step, and put there one button "Confirm" (or whatever). Then display these decision tasks in UWL. It will not be the same functionality but very close, and then you can avoid installing the Sonic connector.

On top of Karri's reply I can add:

- You need to customize UWL so that it launches the WD instead of the actual task. Please have a look at the UWL help on help.sap.com for further info.

- If you want to make sure that users are really going through the web dynpro instead of completing the workitem directly, do not use a decision task but rather a standard task of your own where you use a method that just returns an error message (for example "This item should only be executed from Universal Worklist").

Cheers,
