The Universal Worklist (UWL) gives users unified and centralized way to access their work and the relevant information in the Enterprise Portal. It collects tasks and notifications from multiple provider systems in one list for one-stop access.

Administration and configuration for the Universal Worklist (UWL) is described in this section.

Integration

UWL is integrated with:

  • SAP Enterprise Portal

  • Application Server Java (AS Java)

  • Collaboration Task

  • Alert Management

  • Knowledge Management Collaboration Recent Notifications

Prerequisites

General Prerequisites

As an administrator, you have full administration rights for the portal and developer rights for the back-end system.

  • Make sure that each user is known to all connected SAP systems as per role requirement (make sure that there is one-to-one mapping between the portal user and the back-end user)

  • If an iView is based on a system object defined in your system landscape, you must assign user permission for the relevant user, group, or role to the system object, as well. User permissions assigned to a system permits the iView to retrieve data from the respective back-end application through the system object at runtime.

  • Each connected SAP system for back-end system has the connection to its respective SAP Internet Transaction Server (ITS)

Overview of the Configuration Steps

  • Create a system alias to uniquely identify the system
