Adding escalation step to n step workflow

hi,
i did the steps for adding escalation step to the n step badi but still i think it does not work as expected. any hints for implementing the escalation process to the n step workflow WS14000133.
i'm aware of the deadline procedure but not quite sure on where to have this added to this workflow and how to realise this implementation

HI,
I config my workflow for escalation process with a copy of the business object. Upon escalation trigger i am using the task TS10407969 (Shopping Cart Approval Deadline) but i see an error in the workflow log "Result of agent resolution does not agree with agents of task". Not sure what is the cause of it but if i use the task TS10008126 intead of TS10407969 i dont see the error and things seem to work okay. Any suggestion on this please?
note: TS10407969 is categorized as "General Forwarding allowed" but not the other task

  • Adding Validator step in MDG Customer workflow

    Hello All,
    I need to add validator step in MDG - Customer workflow - WS54300003 and process is, requestor will create CR and it should go to Validator. Once he approves then it should go to final approval team. Currently it is going to final approval stage at first step itself.
    I added that additional step(Validator) to workflow templete(WS54300003) under processing modeling->workfloe->other MDG workflow->Define Change Request Step Numbers. Also, assigned process at  ...-->Assign processor to Change Request Step Number (Simple Workflow).
    Seems i am still missing some thing. Could you please guide me what else need to be done? we are on MDG 6.1

    step numbers are hard-coded in this workflow template (WS54300003). if you open any task container, you will see the value of the step in the container of that task.
    any way, you should not modify workflow WS54300003 as that is considered modification to standard objects. you can copy it to a custom workflow template and then add any new step as you like. you can assign whatever number you like to any step as long as the numbers in the workflow template are consistent with the numbers assigned in the MDGIMG configuration node.
    A recommended solution is to use the rule-based workflow template. your MDG process will be much more dynamic and a lot easier to modify/enhance going forward.
    this document can help you understand how you can use the rule-based workflow template: How to Fill MDG Rule-Based Workflow Decision Tables

  • How to go back to previous step in a sub workflow?

    We are calling a sub workflow upon approval action from a main workflow. In the child workflow we have 9 steps. If at any step in the child workflow (other than first) user does reject action, the workflow control should go back to previous step in the child workflow itself.
    We added a custom action in the exit events of all the child workflow steps. Following is the logic of exit event of Step4 of child workflow. Similar logic is there for all steps in the child workflow.
    <$if wfAction and wfAction like "REJECT"$>     
         <$wfSet("wfJumpTargetStep", "Step3@childWF")$>
         <$wfSet("wfJumpEntryNotifyOff", "0")$>
    <$endif$>
    With this code when the user is doing reject action from child workflow, it is taking us back to the main workflow and not to the previous step of child workflow.
    Is this approach correct?
    -Pratap

    1. The 3 events are Entry, Update, and Exit.
    2. Rejects happen in the Update area but you can not reliably react to it there because upon reject it immediately leaves (not going through the exit event).
    3. The rejected content goes backwards in the Workflow step by step (even going back to the main workflow from a sub workflow) until it finds a Step that has valid Editors (not just reviewers).
    4. If it does not find an Editor step it goes all the way back to the automatic Contribution step at the beginning of the Workflow and sits there in a kind of no mans land until the contributor (or an admin) goes and approves it again.
    5. To check if something has been rejected the Entry Event of an editor Step BEFORE the step where it is rejected needs to have code to check for the Reject status.
    The sub workflow should be able to capture the Reject as you desire. Are all of the steps in the child workflow (sub workflow) Review only steps? Or maybe the people in the steps do not have RW access to the document? This is what I would predict with your described symptoms.

  • How to get the Asset's current step under a specific workflow process via API?

    Everyone,
    Is there a way to get the asset's current step for a specific workflow process by the WebCenter Sites API? We are showing out the asset created within the WebCenter Sites in another application via its API. We would like some actions get to be done once determined assets went into a specific step of a workflow process. Any suggestions are welcomed.
    Regards!

    Here is some information from the FDK Programmer's guide page 115:
    IMPORTANT: A valid text range can span multiple paragraphs, subcolumns, or text frames.
    It cant span multiple flows, footnotes, table cells, or text lines.
    It is possible for a document to have no text selection or insertion point at all. This can occur in
    the following circumstances:
    ● One or more graphic objects in the document are selected
    ● One or more entire table cells in the document are selected
    ● There is no selection of any type in the document
    So, I did select one or more entire table cells in the document in my first test. It's logical that the result was not like expected.
    But selecting one or more entire table cells is a crucial requirement for my plugin, is there anyway to get things straight?
    Simply put, I want to enable users to select one or more table cells in the document, and I want to get the object handles of the first cell and the last cell through Framemaker API calls. How?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Best Regards,

  • Step type 'condition' in workflow

    hai all.....
    I have got a problem while working with the step type 'condition' in workflow,i.e i want to check the values in internal table in my step type for example,whether the internal table is initial....please someone help me ..its very urgent...

    Hi Kiran,
    For the Operator 'NX' u need not enter any comparison value. U click on the condition in the condition step type . A window appears and u click on the internal table in expression 1 and the operator as 'NX' . It doesnt need a comparison value.
    Now u check this with the test data in the same window . U will have an icon in the bottom of window to enter test data and another icon to evalutate it . U check it with data and without data. It will work .
    In ur reply to Kasi , Ur answer is not at all related with what kasi asked for .U can check the initial property while the data is in workflow container itself . Instead u r passing the data from workflow container to task container and then to method container and then the processing has to take place in BO and again the reverse should take place .Which is Unnecessary .

  • Authentication step in standard signing workflow

    Is it possible to add authentication step into standard signing workflow? We cannot use any other signature handler except the standard one (PPKLight) - there is a restriction in the documents. But we need to authenticate user once she wants to sign,
    Thanks in advance,
    Nikita

    Hi Steve,
      Thank you for your attention to my question!
      By the requirements we need to make user enter password every time when he/she signs document.
      We are aware of the strong private key protection for digital IDs from Windows Certificate Store and about digital ID files in Adobe. But in case of Windows Certificate Store Adobe asks for password only first time when user sign document, all the next are skipped; in case of digital ID files Adobe allows user to adjust password timeout - we need somehow restrict this option for user so he/she cannot set anything except entering password "Always".
      There are 2 open questions now for us and it would be very helpful if you knew the answer:
      1) How to overcome the "certificate caching" in case of Windows Certificate Store or how to restrict adjusting password timeout for digital ID files in Adobe?
      2) It would be even better if we could authenticate user in third party system every time he/she tries to sign document. I was looking for some kind of authentication interceptor which Adobe could use right before starting signing procedure, but no luck so far. Do you know if it is possible? And if yes then how?
      Thank you for your help in advance!

  • Adding a heading to the steps element in a DITA topic

    Hello Framers,
    I've been using unstructured FM for years, but I've only just started looking into structured FM. I am currently trying to adjust the sample DITA application that comes with FM 9 to our requirements. In the DITA task topic, the sample application adds frames from a reference page above and below the steps element. Both frames contain a line to visually separate the steps element from other elements in the topic. The upper frame also contains a heading for that element.
    I don't like this approach at all. First of all, I don't want translatable text on the reference page. In addition, the heading should go to the side-head area. The EDD contains the following rules for the steps element:
    Automatic insertions
      Automatically insert child: step
        and nested child: cmd
    Format rules for first paragraph in element
      In all contexts.
        Use paragraph format: step.begin
    Format rules for last paragraph in element
      In all contexts.
        Basic properties
          Paragraph spacing
            Change space below by: +6pt
          Pagination properties
            Keep with previous: Yes
          Advanced properties
            Frame below element: StepsEnd
    I was thinking about adding a prefix to the steps element, but in this case, the prefix is formatted as the first step with the step.begin paragraph style. Is it possible to define a formatting rule for the second paragraph in an element?
    Thank you for any help
    Susanne

    Maybe it is time to rethink what you need to do.
    Just because FrameMaker ships DITA with styles that put a frame above and below the steps element, does not mean that you have to do it also. You can delete it from the EDD.
    If you need your steps to have a heading, then use the heading (or title) element in one of the containing elements higher up the hierarchy, such as the taskbody. I do not use DITA but my structure has a procedure element that is something like:
    Procedure
       Title
       Intro
       Step
       Step
    The Title element contains the title or heading or the procedure. The Intro element contains introductory material for the procedure. Typically, the title is in the side head, which aligns with the first paragraph in the Intro. If there is no Intro element, then the title aligns with first Step element. This structure is simpler than the standard DITA structure, but my point is that the title of your procedure (or steps) need not be part of the steps element itself; my guess is that the DITA structure has a place for it higher up the hierarchy.

  • Adding a new stage to UAR Workflow

    Hello Colleagues,
    Wonder whether you can provide some guidance on something I am struggling with. I simply want to add an additional stage to GRAC_USER_ACCESS_REVIEW workflow to pass the request back to the Security Team once it is approved by the role owner. This is just to make sure roles marked for removal by role owners during the UAR are appropriate. Can I do this with the standard workflow I am using in GRC, or do I need to create a new rule, agents etc.?
    I looked at creating a new stage under GRAC_DEFAULT_PATH.  All I see is GRAC_UAR_REVIEWER agent under available agents. Appreciate your help or if you can point me to any available documentation on adding an additional stage to UAR Workflow. I did search in SAP Marketplace, but could not find anything useful.
    Kind regard,
    Sonny

    Hi Alessandro,
    Thanks for your respons. I am just trying what you suggested.
    I was able to add GRAC_MSMP_SECURITY_LEAD_AGENT to Rules. When I try to add the Agent, I am getting a system message "Agent should be in customer name-space (x*/y*/z*)". Am I missing a step somewhere or does this need to be a custom agent?
    Kind regards,

  • How to use the Validate step for Approve step

    Hi Experts,
       I have modeled a workflow with the steps start,process, validate, approve, process and stop.
    Process is set to owner and approve is set to some other user user1.
       My requirement is as follows :
    1) Approve the records by approver and then it should send it to the next step for further processing
    1.1)  if the approver did not approve the record it should send a error message until the record is approved. So it should not send it to the next step when record is not approved
    I am using a field called item status for approving and disapproving the records. My validation is based on this field only... Validation working fine when i tested it manually.
    But my issue is when am using this validate step in workflow design validation is getting triggered for all the users.as per my requirement only approver should get the error message.But in my scenario owner is getting the error message and approver is not getting any message.
    How can i use the validate step only for particular step say approve in workflow.
    Can anyone please help me out how should use validate step only for approve step...
    Thanks & Regards
    Sireesha.
    Edited by: sireesha esukapalli on Jun 17, 2008 2:48 PM

    Hi ,
      I have set the validation property to "None".
      My design is as follows :
    start->process->validate->approve->stop.
      Owner is assigned to process step and approver is assigned to approve step.
    Now my problem is owner is also getting this error message along with the approver. AS per the design both process, approve users are getting the error message.
    As per my requirement only approver should get this prompt but not the owner.
    How can i restrict only for specifc user to get this message.
    Can anybody please advice how can restrict the owner to not get this error message...
    Thanks & Regards
    Sireesha.

  • Assign step after Approve step can't execute automatically

    I have a Assign step after Approve step in my workflow. After Approve step is completed. Assign step always shown as Error status in the workflow owner's queue. The workflow owner has to manually Perform this Assign step and send to next step.
    Is there way to let Assign step execute automatically after Approve step is completed?

    Thanks for the posting. I am using MDM 5.5 SP4, maybe that is the reason. Assignment works fine if I manually perform it during the workflow. But it can't execute automatically as part of the workflow. it needs manual execution. Do you think this will be resolved if I upgrade to SP5? Is SP5 already available now?

  • Activate or skip "Record Results" and "Step Failure Cause Sequence Failure" for all steps of a step type

    Hello all,
    I am using teststand 3.1
    Is it possible to skip or activate ´"Record Results" and "Step Failure Cause Sequence Failure" for all steps of a step type.
    It is very much work to do this for all steps, because I have hundred of steps
    regards
    samuel

    hi,
    here is an example that will change the TS.NoResult. You just have to change this area of the sequence to suit your needs
    I haven't added any fancy stuff, such as adding a filedialog to get the seq file to change, you will find the various variables in the Locals.
    Hope it helps
    There is a version for 3.1 and 3.5.

  • Sync Send step after transformation step in BPM

    Hi Gurus,
    I have an interface where I am loading the data into an Oracle database and getting the response back (insertcount) from the database. Based on the response, I have to execute a stored procedure in another sync send step.
    I am doing perfectly alright until the transformation step. The sync send step after this step has the following entries.
    Sync interface: MI_LG_SP_INPUT_ABS
    Request Message: sp_lg_rec
    Response Message: sp_lg_snd
    While doing 'check(F7)', I am getting the following error.
    <b>Interface MI_LG_SP_INPUT_ABS for element sp_lg_poc_step2 is not abstract/asynchronous</b>
    The request message for this sync send step is the target message of the transformation step.
    This error is bugging me since 2 days. Please help me with this.
    Thanks
    Kalyan

    Sravya,
    I know what I did now. For my send sync interface which is MI_LG_SP_INPUT_ABS, I have unnecessarily created a container element and which caused this problem. From your post, I rechecked it and found that I don't need a container element for my abs/sync interface as I already have container elements for request and response which are abs/asynch.
    I gave you full points, thinking that you will come for my rescue in the future (just kidding!!!).
    Thanks again,
    Kalyan

  • Problem in using Step into and Step Over button in Test Stand user interface development.

    hi,
    I am developing operator interface in VC++
    currently I am facing a problem, I have created Teststand UI button controls dynamically on the dialog, I have assigned the buttons for break, Resume, Break all, Resume all, Step into and step over.
    Break, Besume, Break all , Resume all buttons are working fine, the Step into and step over buttons are enabling if I break the execution, but after breaking the execution when I click the Step into button I expect that the current step will be executed and, breaks at the next statement, but when I click the Step Into button It is behaving like resume button, I mean the executioin is going on till the end of the sequence file, it is not breaking at the next statement,
    Is my Step into button working the way it is supposed to be?, it is the same case with my step over button alsoI am connecting the TSUI button control to the execution view mgr in the  CTestExecDlg:nDisplayExecutionApplicationMgr(LPDISPATCH exec, ExecutionDisplayReasons reason)
    message funciton , and nothing I am doing nothing else, this is my code statement how I am connecting the button to the execution view manager. 
    mExecutionTab.m_pControlPtrArray[0].mExecutionViewMgr->ConnectCommand(mExecutionTab.MiscControls.m_StepInto,CommandKind_StepInto,0,CommandConnection_NoOptions);
    mExecutionTab.m_pControlPtrArray[0].mExecutionViewMgr->ConnectCommand(mExecutionTab.MiscControls.m_StepOver,CommandKind_StepOver,0,CommandConnection_NoOptions);
    Am I missing anything wrong? Can anyone please help me out.

    Al B,
    I'm not the original author of this post, but I have encountered a similar problem.  My C# application has implemented the following "debug" buttons that work just fine: Run All, Pause, Continue, Stop.  But my Step Over button causes the Sequence to run to completion.  When the user clicks on the StepOver button, only one line is executed:
              this.axExecutionViewMgr.Execution.StepOver();
    but it behaves like its calling
              this.axExecutionViewMgr.ResumeExecution();
    Can you offer any insight into this issue?
