Uwl Xml configuration

[prasad]

Hi portal gurus,

I am new to xml configuration in uwl. i am very much confused with xml configuration. i want to see only the tasks and notifications items in the uwl. for this i know that i have to edit xml file.create our own delta copy of the uwl iview. upload the edited xml file.

I'm having the following questions

1)How my iview will refer to the newly edited xml file. is there any property in uwl iview.

2)when is the standard xml is used and all other xml files included in the uwl configuration

3)is there any particular document which clearly explains all the elements in xml and what the particular xml for and when it is referred.

4) what are the properties useNavigationId and sap_uwl_viewname.

Any help will be given full points

Thanks

Hi Prasad,

This can be carried out using UWL wizard without any xml modification. Go to System Administration -> System Configuration -> Universal Workset-Administration -> Click to Configure Item Types and Customize Views Using a Wizard -> Customize the look of the UWL main page -> Select the tabs which you want to remove and select the button "Remove Tab from Current view" -> Save and Return. Remove the UWL Cache and the change will take effect immediately.

Hi Prasad,

You don't have to refer anything and it will take place for all the uwl iviews.

Pls let me know if it doesn't work.

Hi Deb,

Its working , but my question , I will explain clearly

I delta copied the standard uwl iview and gave the iview is showing all tabs in universal work list . i think it is referring to standard.xml .

I delta-copied another uwl iview , downloaded the standard.xml and made changes and uploaded again by changing the name of xml as for example uwl-customized.xml

How my second uwl iview will refer to the uwl-customized.xml , is there any properties to be set for uwl iview to refer to particular xml ,

when the standard.xml used

Iam not clear of the properties useNavigationId and sap-uwl-viewname for the uwl iview

Thanks

Hi Prasad,

If you uploaded the custom xml with a higher priority it will take precedence. As good practice you should always clear the UWL cache after uploading an xml file.

To answer your questions about the useNavigationId and the sap uwl_viewname, these two parameters are very important. The useNavigationId will tell the UWL which help to tell the iview which navigation should be used as well as the name of the view.

The default parameters are Main and DefaultView respectively.

Hi Prasad,

You have set the new xml name against the iview property useNavigationId. Check the below blog link for details.

Once done make sure to remove the UWL cache for the changes to take effect.
