Configuring the WsActionInboxConnector

The WsActionInboxConnector of the consumer system connects to the ActionInboxConnector of the provider system and provides KM Recent Notifications in the Universal Worklist (UWL) Notification tab, checked-out documents under Tracking, and documents for approval under Tasks. The notifications, tracking, and tasks are taken from the provider system.

Note Note

We recommend that you use this connector only in a federated portal network (FPN).

Prerequisites

Before you configure WsActionInboxConnector you have to meet the following prerequisites:

You have a user with the appropriate authorizations in SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java on both the consumer and the provider systems.

Procedure

Register the provider system as an item provider for the UWL.

Repeat the above procedure for every remote system you want to connect to.

Result

KM Recent Notifications, checked-out documents, and documents for approval from the remote provider systems are shown in the UWL of the consumer system.

Note Note

Make sure that you set a higher value for the Timeout Value for the Connected Systems in UWL service parameters, to avoid possible connection timeout errors in the system connection status.
