How to get HWC username in workflow app - SUP 2.1.3

[Former Member]

Hi All, I am working on SUP 2.1.3 and while developing Workflow apps, I want to use HWC connection settings in my app i.e 'supusername' . As suggested in some of the posts http://scn.sap.com/thread/3297619.I tried using 'getURLParam('supusername') method to get username from HWC but in is not getting the username and instead showing me blank when I try to display.

Any suggestions, if anyone has gone through the same situation and found out the answer.

In Custom.js add the following alert statement in the method customAfterWorkflowLoad()

alert("The current user name is: " + supUserName);

I believe the value is available in a global variable named supUserName.

The following document may also be of some use

Hi Anupriya,

I found solution for this post.

We had situation to pass username, Application name, Device name and its type etc to an operation. Do the below steps to pass these parameters.

1. Open the Workflow form editior.
2. Select the screen in which you want to pass parameters in Flow Design.
3. Open as Screen Design
4. Select the required operation in Menu box.
5. Goto the property screen -> Parameter mappings
6. Select a parameter name->edit
7. By default "Mapping type" will be "Key" mode, You can also select other mapping type like Username. Please refer the screen shot attached
   
   

Not only username, you can also select BackendUsername, BackendPassword, DeviceId, Devicetype, MessageId, ModuleName, ModuleVersion, QueueId etc.

I hope this will help you. All the best.
