      Regards

      Pankaj-

      Have you activated the service (transaction SICF) associated with the message template you are using?  The default being in the last screenshot above: /SAP/BC/BSP/SAP/SWN_MESSAGE1

      I would add a note to the tutorial which may be of use: some of the key fields do not allow the use of underscore in the name in subsequent activities; so be careful with category name for example, as you will not be able to proceed or use it in the configuration under later steps if it contains any underscore.

      I have a similar issue with URL.

      When try to execute Work Item, this part is missing:

      &sap-client=210&sap-language=EN

      And the SAPGUI for HTML throws an error: Transaction ONLI is unknow.

      We have also implemented extended notifications in our system.

      everything works good except , when link is clicked from email that is sent out using SWN_SELSEN,

      start with http://xxxxxxx.

      when you click on this link, in the browser it opens as https://.

      has anyone faced this issue prior and how to correct this?
