refer here

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/bpx/uwl+faq

System Administration -> System Configuration -> Universal Worklist &

Workflow -> Universal Worklist Administartion -> Configure Content

Types & Custom Views using Wizard -> Customize look of UWL -> Select

the tabs to be removed and click "Remove Tab from current View".

Check here:

(http://service.sap.com/netweaver> Media Library

> How-to Guides > Portal, KM and Collaboration >

All > Configuring the Universal Worklist)

This document is for 04 releases but the concept remains the same for

subsequent releases. I would advise that you take a look at this

document.

Navigation nodes have the task of defining the

tabs that the user "sees" in the UWL main table

(i.e. Task, Alerts, Notifications, Tracking, etc.).

And each of these tabs ("NavigationNodes") support

different views (e.g. "My Open Tasks", "Completed Tasks",

etc), which support itemTypes as described above

and elsewhere.

You will want to download the standard xml file and remove the xml

associated with these tabs and rename the xml file and upload it to the

portal with a higher priority. The configuration guide should

help with this information.

what happens here is that the navigation node cannot recognize

the full path. So everything after the '.' needs to be removed.

. So where I saw the '.' I removed them in

the navigation nodes, and also in the wizard screen, clicked on the

alerts tab, and removed it from the navigation.

or do this

If you only have the .tra and .001 files on the system (and the

standard files) then you can proceed as follows:

So what do we need to do to fix this?

This is a known issue with the MSS system and the generated XML file.

However, the fix is quite simply achieved...

For both the .001 and .tra xml files you will need to do the following:

1. Download and save your config for both com.sap.pct.erp.mss.001 &

com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra:

2. Open the saved version and save the file with a new name.

Access the configuration file within the zip file and proceed to make

the following changes:

I would like you to navigate to the following place in your XML file:

<! Work Center UWL shows the same

entries as Control Center UWL >

<NavigationNode name="root"

view="" referenceGroup="">

For every navigation node that has a full path assigned I would like

you to delete up to and inclusive of the last full stop that is

listed in the node. Here is an example for you:

a) first node identified is that fits the criterion above is:

<NavigationNode name="com.sap.pct.erp.mss.Alert"

view="AlertsView" referenceGroup=""

referenceBundle="alerts">

CHANGE THIS TO:

<NavigationNode name="Alert" > *delete everything up to and

inclusive of the last full stop*

view="AlertsView" referenceGroup=""

referenceBundle="alerts">

do the same all the way down the XML file where you see the

NavigationNode name = a full path..

Next one in the list is:

<NavigationNode name="com.sap.pct.erp.mss.Alerts2"

view="AlertsView"

referenceGroup="UWL_ADD_DYNAMIC_VIEWS"

referenceBundle="new_and_inprogress_alerts">

CHANGE THIS TO:

<NavigationNode name="Alerts2"

view="AlertsView"

referenceGroup="UWL_ADD_DYNAMIC_VIEWS"

referenceBundle="new_and_inprogress_alerts">

Continue this process until you get to the end of the file, then

save the

xml file with a

new name and upload this new file with Higher priority than

the system generated one and clear

the UWL cache.

Also repeat the steps with the .tra file.

Here is what is causing the issue: You are asking a wizard which expects

a default definition for the Main naviagtion node but in all of your

XML's the Main node is defined

with the full path. That is what is causing the

Main node

in the Wizard not to be present. As the wizard does not have a

reference, it will not display anything in the dropdown.

Hi,

Or you can customize this using wizard.

1. Navigate to sytem administration-Universal worklist and workflow-Universal worklist Adminsitration

2. click "Click to Configure Item Types and Customize Views Using a Wizard" option

3. it will take you to "UWL Configuration Wizard" screen, select "Customize the look of the UWL main page" .

4. select the Tab (Tasks, Alerts, Notification) which you want to hide , and click on "remove tab from the current view" button , this will remove the UWL TAB from the UWL iview.

5. If you want to unhide the tab, the removed tabs available under "Available tabs not displayed" drop down, select the tab then click on "Add tab to view".

Thanks,

Hi,

There is a much simpler way to do this without modifying the XML file.

Search for the uwl iview in the portal content. Open the object. There is a property called "UWL Navigation Property". By default it is selected as "tabs". You can change it to "None". Before doing this change make sure you had Selected the "Tasks" tab from the UWL. After saving this property, only the tasks tab will be shown in the UWL and alert/notification/tracking will disappear.

Thanks

HI,

You need to modify the XML file.

Proceed as follows.

To be sure that you are modifying the correct file

1. Navigate to System Administration ->System COnfiguration ->Universal Worklist and Workflow ->Universal Worklist Administration

2. Open the Tray for the Optional UWL Service Configuration

3. Edit and set the Display Support Information: to true.

3.Go back to your UWL and you can see from which configuration file the configuration is being picked from.

To Modify the file

1. Navigate to System Administration->System Configuration->Universal Worklist and workflow->Universal Worklist Administration

2.Click to Manage Item Types and View Definitions

3. Download the configuration file (If your UWL is not customised it's uwl.standard)

4. Open the file with an XML editor

5. Refer to the steps mentioned here

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/3e/09df7f284f4fb9b50aaedf80652f4c/frameset.htm

6. Save it with a different name say uwl.custom

7. Upload this new configuration file don't forget to check the check box high priority.

8. Clear the cache and check the UWL.

Thanks
