Wizard-Based Configuration for the Universal Worklist 

Use

After completing the installation of the SAPNetWeaver CE, you need to perform a number of steps to enable the basic use of the Universal Worklist (UWL). You can run the wizard-based configuration for the Universal Worklist. The configuration wizard saves you time and performs many tasks for you.

 

Only run the configuration wizard if your system has never been configured before.

Procedure

To perform the wizard-based configuration tasks required for your Universal Worklist, perform the following steps:

       1.      Start the wizard-based configuration task as described in the configuration wizard documentation.

More information: Configuration Wizard

       2.      Choose All Configuration Tasks.

       3.      In the table of configuration tasks, select the corresponding Universal Worklist configuration task (Initial setup of functional unit UWL) and start it.

To find the right task more quickly you can enter a filter in the first row, for example UWL.

       4.      In the UWL configuration, select the configuration mode. We recommend that you select the Typical mode. If you choose Typical, the configuration wizard provides default settings and you only have to respond to a minimum number of prompts

       5.      Enter user DDIC as the ABAP administrator and enter the corresponding password.

       6.      Enter the password of the J2EE administrator.

       7.      Enter a Master Password. This password is used for all automatically created users during configuration in typical mode. In custom mode it serves as the default value.Choose Next.

       8.      Enter the Connector settings for the UWL:

○       Group: for example public

○       Message Server: for example id1169.sap.wdf.corp

○       HTTP Port: for example 50600

○       System Number: for example 01

○       Client: for example 001

○       System ID: for example NWA

       9.      Enter the host name of the Internet Transaction Server, for example id1169.sap.wdf.corp.

   10.      In the User Mapping section, enter the user DDIC and the corresponding password. Choose Next.

The wizard-based configuration performs the following post-installation tasks for the UWL configuration:

●      Assign the standard user role to the logged in user

●      Create folder systems in the portal content of the system landscape

○       Import the portal content directory (PCD) profile

●      Get the message server port of the ABAP system

●      Create binding for the message server port

●      Create the UWL system

●      Create the UWL system alias

●      Assign permissions for the UWL system to the standard user role

●      Map the portal user to the UWL system user only if UIDPW logon method is selected

○       Map the portal user to the UWL system user

●      Register the UWL system as item provider for the Universal Worklist

●      Register the work items for the Universal Worklist

You can track the configuration tasks by expanding the Details tray. The system reports any configuration errors. Error message long texts are written to the protocol.
