Accessing Universal Worklist (UWL) in SAP Portal from Blackberry

[Former Member]

Hi all!

Is there a standard way for accessing the UWL, which is part of SAP Enterprise Portal, with a Blackberry?

If not, how can I achieve this?

Thank you for your help!

Kind regards, Patrick.

Hi Patrick,

We developed webdynpro screen using UWL APIs to show the list on Blackberry.

Hi Ashutosh!

What do I need to install for developing such an application?

How does the authorization between Blackberry and Portal work?

Are you able to approve and reject work items with your Blackberry?

Thank you for your fast help!

Kind regards, Patrick.

Hi,

There are 2 approaches we followed.

1. As I said custom webdynpro development.

2. Exposing service through ITS and generating template.

In both the case we get an application URL. This URL can be accessed over Blackberry.

For autorization, we use the same authorization as of SAP, while accessing these secure application the screen prompts for username, password.

We are able to successfully excute work items through blackberry.

Hello,

A portal WDP application configured to served BlackBerries will be perfect. As I mentionned in other posts, you can have a look at SAP_WAPI* for app workflow related (and universal worklist for that matter) BAPIs.

Enjoy,

Thank you,

Julien.

Hi Julien!

Thank your for your answer.

Unfortunately I can't use BAPIs for accessing the UWL, because, in the Enterprise Portal UWL, there will be work items which will be delivered by different R/3-Backend-Systems.

As conclusion, the central point, where all UWL-items are bundled, is the UWL in Enterprise Portal.

I know, that there is a UWL-API, but it would be much easier for me to get an entry, if I could get some example code using this API, referring to portal conncection, fetch items, approve or reject, etc.

Kind regards, Patrick.
