Use

You can upload predefined configuration files.

UWL Content Configuration includes definition of:

  • Item Types - The type of an item determines how it is executed, and if other actions can be applied. It also describes additional information like custom attributes.

  • List Views - A view describes how the items of a specific type should be displayed in the worklist: visible attributes, sorting order, filter conditions, and many more visualization properties.

  • Navigation - The navigation defines the list views offered to the end user. The first level of the navigation hierarchy represents the basic item categories.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to portal Universal Worklist iView.

  • You have access to the Universal Worklist Administration iView.

  • You have a predefined configuration (for example one shipped by Manager Self Services Business Package).

This predefined configuration (for example uwl.webflow.mss ) XML contains ItemTypes that are defined independent of any particular system.

Process

This section describes the procedure for uploading the predefined configuration.

Administering Item Types and View Definitions

You can administer the Universal Worklist Configuration Content (in XML) from the following three functions.

Function

Description

Download Configuration

Select the configuration name for which you want to download configuration. Click on the link on the subsequent page to view / download file.

Delete Configuration

Delete the selected configuration.

It is recommended to keep a back up before deleting a configuration.

Choose OK to proceed with deletion.

Download DTD

Choose to download DTD for the selected configuration.

Uploading New Configurations

You can upload the XML configuration files from this page.

  1. Specify the configuration name. Do not upload any configuration as "uwl .webflow.<systemalias> ". That will overwrite the generated system configuration with the same name. Give a new configuration name, for example uwl.webflow.mss ".
    Note

    The backend items are mapped using the tag < ItemTypeCriteria > and its systemId and externalType attributes. The configuration name and item type name are not relevant. The override (customization) effect will be automatically archived through the override priority.

  2. Choose valid XML or ZIP file. Enter the path or browse for the XML file.
  3. High priority : mark this checkbox if you are customizing UWL itemTypes and Views. However if any other application inside SAP is uploading its configuration file, it will not affect your customizations. It is recommended that these SAP groups should use medium priority or not check the override priority checkbox.
  4. Adapt to System : Specify the system which you want to apply the configuration XML to in the upload iView dropdown option Adapt to System . If uploaded as " None - use as is ", the configuration XML will be applied to the system referenced in the XML itself. If no system is referenced, it will be applied to all systems.
    Note

    The configuration XML becomes completely independent from systems and need not to be modified for specific installations.

  5. Choose Upload . Once the upload has completed, you will receive a successful message. If you do not receive a successful message, you will have an error message providing you with the syntax error in the XML file. Fix your XML file and upload again.
    Note

    If the upload is specific to a system, system name will be added automatically to the configuration name at the end.

  6. You must clear the cache now. See Clearing Cache section below.
