Appraisal Document MSS: POWL

Former Member

Hi,

We have a small issue with appraisal documents(MSS). When we start the application the table with the employee documents has few records under status overview tab but when a user opens one of the items (in a separate window) and then add some comment and save it, after closing the doc. the table starts updating/refreshing himself and then it is empty. When we click on refresh actionlink in right hand-side under the table the items are back again.

it happens also when we navigate to other app in portal and the come back same thing; start updating/refreshing and the it is empty!

Any idea?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Aydin,

we have following qurey refresh type and their behaviour,

Query Refresh Type
The Personal Object Worklist (POWL) provides the following query refresh options:
On First Page Visit: The query refreshes only when the POWL is initially loaded.
On Every Page Visit: The query refreshes each time the POWL is loaded.
On First Query Run: The query only refreshes when the query is initially switched on.
On Every Query Run: The query refreshes each time the query is switched on.
If no refresh type is set, then the query is refreshed according to the the default behavior.

Also implement the below notes,

1414272

1679260

1664509

1683386

Hope this helps to solve the issue.

Hi Meera,

Thank you for your reply.

I will checkout the notes which you have mentioned in your post.

But could you please tell me where can I change these refresh options of POWL?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Aydin,

In transaction POWL_QUERY, there is a field called Refresh Type.

This is a drop-down value that allows the selection of 5 different refresh types.

But implement those notes also.

Hi Meera,

I just finished implementing those snotes (except 1414272, can not be implemented). and test it, the issue is still there. 

Also I tried tcode POWL_QUERY, well this is not quite true, I don't have the authorization for this tcode yet so before asking for this I tried to check this tcode using SE93 but I didn't find any value that shows the refresh types! there was a field TYPE but the content was completly different.

Are you sure that the tcode POWL_QUERY is the one that I should have for changing the refreshing behaviour of POWL ?

KR,

Aydin

To refresh the POWL on initial load of the POWL application - try implementing option 1 from OSS Note 1461713 - POWL refresh: different options

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/EN/80/c8cbf89a394eaaa59767d0f           

af958d3/frameset.htm                                                                               

More sepcifically the selection in customizing:                                                                               

Define Number and Intervals of Iterations for Automatic Refresh of POWL

The 'update' or auto refresh is generated once the criteria       

have been established and executed manually once, i.e. If you create       

a query and define criteria, you should refresh this query then manually                                                                               

Now once any additional documents are created which conform to the         

criteria they will be automatically added to the POWL.                                                                               

This is how the system is designed to work, basically, one manual          

refresh is required, then auto refresh kicks in. This of course is         

invalidated by running of the POWL_WLOAD or similar reports which will     

in many cases clear the search criteria and require new configuration      

and refreshing manually.

Hi Soddharth,

Thakn you for your post.

I tried the first option in  OSS Note 1461713, but no difference.

let me tell you what exactly is the issue:

When a user opens an item from Employee Documents view, and add some comment -> save and close, the employee documents view starts refreshing and becomes for few seconds gray (read only) and then all items in view disappear. So user has to click on the refresh link under the view to see the items again.

Any idea?

Thank you in advance.

have you done this

1) set the POWL application parameter: REFRESHA to X and set refresh
type to "Manual" for all admin queries
2) set refresh type to "On Every List Visit"

Whenever admin query settings are changes with respect to the Refresh
Type you need to execute report POWL_D01 to delete all older queries
so automatically new queries are created with latest information from
the admin queries.

ie

Mark refresh type as "On Every List Visit" in the POWL_QUERY

transaction for each of the following queries you use, Please do this and check the response again
