URL for portal workitem in EHP2

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We are recently upgraded to 7.02 from 4.0.  In 4.0 we were having a functionality of sending outlook notifications to the users and there a link to the Inbox workitem was given.  This is not offiline approval functionality. The linke is formed based on the parameters in a standard workflow task

  &PURCHASEORDER.CREATORUSER.ITSDESTINATIONSY&/?WI=&_WORKITEM.WORKITEMID&

The first portion is coming from the ITS_DEST attribute of the user and the second portion is the actual work item number.  Once the user clicks on this link it will open the PO approval work item in ITS.

Now after the upgrade to 7.02, we have updated the ITS_DEST with new portal URL.  But upon clicking the link in outlook mail it's only opening the portal, but not opening upto the workitem in the inbox.  What would be the correct URL to open up the work item in the portal inbox? And how can we get that?

Thanks in advance,

Mallik

Hi Mallik,

try something like that.

http://portal:port/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=OBN://BOSystemAlias=SAP_SRM/BOTechnicalName=po/Operat...<<GUID OF YOUR DOCUMENT>>&SAPSRM_WIID=<<YOUR WI ID>>&SAPSRM_BOTYPE=BUS2201

Hi Konstantin,

Thanks for your swift response.  And the URL is working.  However it's opening the PO in display mode rather than Approval mode.  This is not the one we are expecting.

Normally when we click on work item from Inbox, it opens up in Approval mode.  So we require an URL which can open up the PO in approval mode directly. What parameters in the URL controls this action so that I can open up the PO in approval mode.

Or would there be different URL which would open up the work item in the inbox irrespective of the business object contained in that workitem.

Rgds, Mallik
