Procedure documentationEnabling the UWL Push Mechanism Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

The universal worklist (UWL) provides central access to your tasks. The UWL is integrated into the SAP NetWeaver portal. To perform a task which is assigned to you as a potential owner, you just need to click the subject of the task listed in your UWL inbox. Once you complete a task, you must refresh your task list to make the completed task disappear. Other potential owners of the same task also need to refresh their task list or wait for the background job that refreshes it.

The UWL push mechanism enables Business Process Management (BPM) to push complete events for tasks into the UWL. As a result, completed tasks are removed from the actual owner's task list automatically and manual refresh is not needed. The UWL push mechanism is disabled by default. This procedure describes how you enable the push mechanism in the following cases:

  • Local — UWL and BPM are installed on the same system.

  • Remote — UWL and BPM are installed on different systems.
