This comprehensive technical guide shows developers, technical consultants, and solution architects all the ins and outs of the Universal Worklist in SAP NetWeaver Portal (Release 2004s). This hands-on workshop takes you, step by step, from standard configuration to working with different user interfaces and covers workflow integration from any back-end systems. Readers get an exclusive look under the hood of the Universal Worklist functionality and gain insight on future application scenarios. By reading this guide you'll be able to reconfigure existing applications to conform with the UWL, write UWL-specific applications or transactions and adapt data sets in order to have the appropriate work item IDs created. Many screenshots and code samples illustrate the processes in detail, allowing you work with the UWL functionality appropriately - just as you will soon be doing in your daily work.
Highlights Include: * Standard UWL configuration: Connecting SAP systems, items in the UWL, changing the basic look * Customizing UWL: Custom views, custom work item handlers * Integrating other types of workflow: Ad-hoc workflow, publishing workflow, 3rd party workflow * UWL behind the scenes: Performance tuning, working around limitations, SAP function modules * Next-generation workflow: Workflow on a Blackberry or in Outlook with Duet, SAP NetWeaver Voice

Dr Darren Hague started as an IT consultant at the age of 16, spending Saturdays and Wednesday afternoons introducing computers to a local building services firm. At Brunel University, he gained B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science while working part-time for a computing multinational, a conference producer, and a CAD software house. Afterwards, he briefly pursued an academic career working with brain scanners.Since 1998 Darren has been back in the world of business and on joining Axon Solutions in 2000 he developed a continuing interest in SAP, Java, and user-oriented business processes. With experience of the SAP NetWeaver Portal going back to EP 4.5, he became responsible for the Enterprise Portals capability at Axon in 2001 and set up the Yahoo "SAP Portals Admins" mailing list, a community of early adopters who helped each other with Portal installation and implementation issues. That group is now defunct, but in its place Darren is an active contributor to the SAP Community Network, presenting SDN sessions at SAP TechEd, helping to organize SAP Community events in London, and writing sporadic blog entries at www.fortybeans.com.Darren is currently investigating the use of enterprise SOA techniques to make business processes available to the widest possible audience using the most appropriate technologies. He lives in Surrey, England with his wife and a very demanding cat.
