Attach the workflow process to portlet pages

Hi,
I would like to know the steps to attach the workflow process to portlet pages.
-- Babu

What do you mean by "attach the workflow process to portlet pages"
if you mean to have approval withing pages this can be done using teh approvals and notifications functionality built in within portal and if you mean attaching external workflows from oracle portal or BPEl, that can also be done.

Using in the workflow process the element of Scenario dimension which conta

Good day All
In the Scenario dimension has been created element which include as children the some store elements of the Scenario dimension (Plan, Fact ...).
This element has been assigned as scenario element for Planning Unit Hierarchy.
When we start the workflow process the children of its elements (Plan, Fact ...) still available for edit on work form for all users.
Question. Work form contains several elements of Scenario. As in the workflow process close all of these elements, creating only one Planning Unit Hierarchy and run the process only once (in fact, one Scenario).
thanks

The total video bit rate is determined by audio & video. Depending on what rate your video file was encoded at will determine how much room is left for audio. PCM(aiff/wav) audio requires a bigger piece of the pie. Video bit rate too high means your overall(video+audio) rate is going above 9Mbps which the format won't allow. The only way to use aiff would be to lower your video file's data rate. The length of your program is also a factor in all of this.
I had some problems in the past with using aiff instead ac3. Although there shouldn't be any issue I experienced playback issues on some players that couldn't be explained but were cleared up by ac3. I have been using the same specs as Dave's suggestion for almost nine years and have not had any issues with mix, quality, or levels.

Can you make a mail merge from a page layout? I can successfully do so from the word processing section of pages

I am trying to mailmerge to a form and need to center certain sections on the same line. Impossible to accomplish in the word processing portion because it wants to center the entire line. I would like to use the page layout section but the "enter merge field" is gray.
I have been able to accomplish the task using Filemaker but some of my constituents do not have Filemaker and I would like to make a template for them to use with numbers, excel,etc.

Can't see what Layout mode could possibly offer that you don't have in Word Processing mode.
Tried using centre tabs? You are using tabs, and not just hammering away at the spacebar?

Cannot see the Workflow process in Application.

Hi ,
We have a strange issue with workflow.
We wanted to customize the INVFLXWF workflow .
We downloaded it from the apps into WorkFlow Builder.Added a process and a function.Saved it back into the database.
Now , when you go into the application --> System Administrator --> Application --> Flexfield --> Accounts --> ctrl F11 -
and you dont se the workflow Generate Cost of Goods Sold Account .
Only if we see it then only we can change the Process Name to the newly created process.
What puzzles us is that the AP Process calls the Generate Cost of Goods Sold Account and generates the COGS account .But we wanted to change it.Without seeign it in the application we cannot change the process.
Can anybody help?

Hi Andrew,
Thanks again a lot for the help. It has really helped. Now I am trying to get a better understanding of how the platform, SCC and the simulator need to be configured.
Let me write down some of my learnings:
If one does not see the workflow then the following points should be checked.
1. Check whether the simulator and the MDS are running properly or not. Like in my case I had installed MDS and 9800 simulator by getting 2 seperate installables. But later I got the BB 6.0 JDE and installed that. Probably this helped me out.
2. If you dont see one of your already developed workflows not in the Simulator then develop a new workflow and try syncing that to the simulator. As you have shown it to Tapan one can get it from http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/8028374d-6490-2e10-5391-b3cb0310ad1d?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true and https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/groups/sup-apps?view=documents
For me I was not able to move my already developed workflow to the simulator. Then I tried to get the EmpDir2_0_ESD1 from the above mentioned link and then this worked. Probably some error in my workflow. So try generating a new workflow and move that to the simulator
3. If MDS does not comeup then it may be because you have installed it in C:Program Files. So better install the BB JDE in some other folder where you have write permission. This information I got from StackFlow.
Hope this may help some novice like me...
Thanks again Andrew...

Parallel approval question of the workflow process.

Hello Expert,
I have the following business process scenario which will be realized by new BPMN. My qusestion is how to do with it on BPMN?
I have one human activity in one step. The condition to pass this step is that all the potential owners of this step should approve, if one rejects this step, then workflow terminates. Is there anyway to reach the solution, i mean the task is sent to the approvers parallelly and i want to get all of their response?
Any help will be appreciated..
/BR
Erick

Hi Erick,
a few words of warning though:
If the end condition for the recursion is not modeled correctly and the process runs into an endless recursion you can easily break the system with this! Since the NetWeaver BPM is trying to pick up where it left off, such a situation can not easily recorvered from, even by restarting the server!
Recursive subprocess calls consume quite a bit of resources, so it is not recommended to do this with many nesting levels. Start out with only a few and look in the SAP MMC how the Java memory behaves. But I guess for a (hopefully short) list of approvers this approach should be ok.
Modeling this correctly can be a bit tricky. From my experience you should especially mind two important points:
Make sure you synchronize concurrent executions paths (creates with a parallel split gateway) at the end with a matching join gateway.
Do not put the end condition for the recursion in the correlation condition of the start event of the subflow: this will cause the subflow to never start and hence never return to the calling process. The result will be that the main process never terminates. Use an explicitely modeled exclusive choice gateway for this.
Best regards,
Oliver

SSL Error while opening the workflow process

Hi,
While opening any workflow status monitor, we are getting below error. One of the hit says that have SSL setup recently, it need few steps to be performed and a patch to prevent below error.

How to purge the workflow which is in process

Hi Friends,
I am facing one problem in the AME Workflow.
when a user submit a page for approval process, workflow engine invokes . and in the hr_api_transcations table transacation id is created for that workflow transacation. now the problem is, if i purge that workflow process using concurrent program 'PURGE OBSELETE WORKFLOW RUNTIME DATA' . it is deleting the workflow. but when i see the hr_api_transacation table still the transacation id for that workflow is active.
Example :-
when i see through through the responsibility (workflow administrator web applications)=>Administrator workflow=>Status monitor
when i type the item key say some x and search for the workflow status i cant see the workflow status. i can see it is deleted.
but when i type the same item key in the hr_api_transacation
like :- select * from hr_api_transactions where item_key='X' i can see the status of this transacation is active and workflow is in pending.
can anyone explain me why system is behaving like.. how to stop the workflow process and how to delete the transacation id from the table.
Thanks in advance

Using in workflow process the element of Account dimension with subordinate

Good day All
In the dimension Account has been created element, which contains several shared elements. This element has been added as a Parent member when creating a Planning Unit Hierarchy. When we run the workflow process the child shared elements still open for editing for all users.
May be we can’t using shared members in this case?
Thanks

Are you the one who commented out the code you're looking for ?//String desc = StringFactory.getString(attributes.getValue("desc"));You just have to modify you AttributeObject class to hold a new field : String description. And then, it's up to you to create a new constructor or a new setter method.
Btw, this is not a Swing related question.

Looking for screen to change Supplier User Registr.. workflow process name

Hi,
The question relates to Supplier User Management.
Does anybody know if there is a page where you can pickup the workflow (the shipped one has internal name POS_REG) process name for supplier registration?
Thank you.
Anatoliy

Hi Bala
What enhancements were you adding to the Workflow Reassign/Delegate feature, which included being able to add comments? A good idea is to look for any differences between how workflow implements the reassign feature, and your customization.
Also, make sure you only use the Public documented PL/SQL APIs and do not update the tables directly to ensure no Support or Upgrade Issues.
Cheers
Mark
I am using Stand alone Workflow 2.6, In my workflow process
which is an Issue tracking system which is working fine. On Enhancement I would like to create my own RE-ASSIGN function which will, Change the ownership of an issue totally to other user.
For this I Created a package(CHANGE_OWNER.CREATE)which will show list of Users and Comment field(Just like Re-Assign).
Here user can pick other user, and add comment,
once submit for that Item key I am updating the workflow notification table so that paritcular issue ownership will be changed.
In my workflow process I created a lookup code called "Change Owner". On click of Change Owner it will call the Function
in workflow process which will call CHANGE_OWNER.CREATE, here
the workflow process supposed to wait and get the User to be
changed. BUT THE PROCESS IS NOT WAITING, IT JUST DISPLAYED THE
SCREEN AND CONTINUED THE WORKFLOW PROCESS. I WANT THE MY
WORKFLOW PROCESS TO BE ACT AS RE-ASSINGN BUTTON WHICH WILL WAIT
FOR THE USER INPUT.
HOW TO DO IT.
Thanks

Creating a thumbnail within a workflow process

Hi,
Within my workflow process, I want to create thumbnail images of the files/documents that have been uploaded in a page through the out of the box 'Download' component. I want to store these thumbnails on the same page(within /content/mypage). As far as I know, the logic of thumbnail creation of an uploaded files is already available in the DAM. On further probing, I got to know that the thumbnail creation is done as part of a workflow and the workflow process is 'CreateThumbnailProcess'(com.day.cq.dam.core.process.CreateThumbnailProcess). So I tried creating an instance of the CreateThumbnailProcess and calling the execute() method of this process within my workflow process. Here's a glimpse of what I did.
public void execute(WorkItem item, WorkflowSession session, MetaDataMap args) throws WorkflowException {
     CreateThumbnailProcess proc = new CreateThumbnailProcess();
     System.out.println("Test Workflow entered!!");
     proc.execute(item, session, args);
     System.out.println("Test Workflow executed. Thumbnail created!!");
But when I start my workflow, I keep getting "Test Workflow entered!!" multiple number of times on my console. I am unable to understand what's happening. Please help me. If there are any simpler alternatives to create a thumbnail, please suggest them too.
Thanks in advance
Shriram K M

Ok.
So couple of things which you can try out to check what's causing the issue.
1. If you comment
     //proc.execute(item, session, args);
does it still causing the same issue. If yes, then problem would be somewhere in your workflow call or process execution which calling this process recurring (i can assume as not see the whole code) and, if not, then this call is only causing the issue which is pretty wierd (looking into possibility and will update you) if you do not have extended the same process as you mentioned above.
2. Not sure calling another process like this is correct way to do it because CreateThumbnailProcess automatically gets called in cq when image object created in system to create default renditions.
To answer you other question.
creating extra thumbnail apart from default renditions you should have to create workflow process as you already did but extend AbstractAssetWorkflowProcess (dont call CreateThumbnailProcess.execute() because there is default workflow process already setup.) and below code in execute method
Asset asset = getAssetFromPayload(workItem, workflowSession.getSession());
oriIs = asset.getOriginal().adaptTo(Node.class)
                            .getProperty(JcrConstants.JCR_CONTENT + "/" + JcrConstants.JCR_DATA).getBinary().getStream();
asset.addRendition(rendition, oriIs, mimetype); //mimetype and rendition you have to create it as an object based on your requirement.
also check http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/javadoc/com/day/cq/dam/core/process/CreateThumbnailP rocess.html for more detail.
Let me know for more information.
Thanks,
Pawan

Customising the HRSSA process

Hi All ,
I have a peculiar issue with workflow customizations. I have copied a process from standard workflow and renamed it with custom name under the same item type (HRSSA). I have created form functions with the parameters pointing to this custom process.
Now when I navigate through the process and try to personalize the pages ( The wokflow process simulates a page flow), the function level always points to the standard functions.
Thus when I do any personalizations , it gets affected at the standard function also. Please anybody help on this issue.
Thank you,
Srikanth

Hi Srikanth,
As well as the &pCalledFrom parameter, there is also the &OAFunc parameter in HTML Call. You must make sure that your "XX_CUST_FUNC" is added there as well. See Example below:
Function: XX_TERMINATION_SS
Function Name: XX Termination
Form Parameters:
pAMETranType=SSHRMS&pAMEAppId=800&pProcessName=HR_TERMINATION_JSP_PRC&pItemType=HRSSA&pCalledFrom=XX_TERMINATION_SS&pEffectiveDate=
HTML Call:
OA.jsp?akRegionCode=HR_CREATE_PROCESS_TOP_SS&akRegionApplicationId=800&OAFunc=XX_TERMINATION_SS
This function is called by the manager function:
Function: XX_TERMINATION_MGR_SS
Function Name: XX Termination Mgr
Form Parameters:
pCalledFrom=XX_TERMINATION_SS&pDestination=HR_ACTIONS_SS&pManagerEnabled=N&addBreadCrumb=Y
HTML Call:
OA.jsp?akRegionCode=HR_PERSON_TREE_TOP_SS&akRegionApplicationId=800&OAFunc=XX_TERMINATION_SS
Therefore in total I have referenced my XX_TERMINATION_SS function 4 times in the function parameters.
Hopefully that will solve your error. I have tested it and did not get the problem you described. My personalize page context was "XX Termination" even after navigating back to the hierarchy page.
Regards,
Mike

Mass Maintenance will recognize any customer record in workflow process

Hi gurus,
Please help me on the Workflow process, how to handle below workflow scenario, is there any logic be hand this.
please see in BOLD workflow issue.
1.2     As-Is Business Process
Currently Data Maintenance teams use standard SAP transaction XD07 to change Customer Account Groups. The standard transaction XD07 allows only one Customer Account Group to be changed at a time. The process is to be manually repeated for every customer. After the Account Group is changes in the request client (X07(10)), an RFC call is made to the BOR client (X07(20)) and then to the transaction client (X08(10)) to change the Customer Account Group as the SAP ALE process does not support Account Group Changesu2026
1.3     To-Be Business Process
From time to time, bulk customer data updates will be needed. This can be the result of business situations that cause multiple updates to be performed for given customer fields such as Customer Account Group field. A new program must be developed to let the user mass update the Customer Account Group field (KNA1-KTOKD). The Program should be accessed on demand using a new T.Code (YMDM_ACCTGRP_CHG).
Business users will submit a spreadsheet in the appropriate upload format to CDM along with written approval from the Food Service data owner to execute the upload in P07. CDM will execute the upload, record all documentation for the audit change log and notify the submitter when complete
1.4     To-Be Business Process Flow Diagram
1.5     Enhancement Functionality
The following are the requirements:
u2022     This tool will enable a user to perform bulk update to the customer account group field.
u2022     The utility should let the user upload a u201CTab delimitedu201D file to mass update the Account Group field.
u2022     The Load File will have 3 columns, Customer Number (KNA1-KUNNR), Current Account Group (KNA1-KTOKD) and New Account Group (KNA1-KTOKD).
u2022     The Program must utilize the process behind the standard SAP transaction XD07 to change customer Account Groups in X07(10).
u2022     The standard customer ALE (DEBMAS) process does not support Customer Account Group changes, so the mass change program must use the RFC functionality to change he Account Groups in the BOR (X07(20)) and Transaction system (X08(10)).
u2022     Workflows for all updates performed using this T.Code are automatically approved. No manual approval steps will be needed after data load.
u2022     Mass Maintenance will recognize any customer record that has an open workflow. If a customer record is already in the request queue, it is u201Coff limitsu201D for any bulk update. That update request to that particular customer record must be rejected.
u2022     Provide the option to run the process in validation mode and update mode.
u2022     Report all hard and soft legacy field errors on a validation report. All u201Chardu201D legacy field validations should be passed before allowing update mode to run.
u2022     The upload process will produce an error log for all records not loaded into the system.

Interrupt workflow process in process controlled workflow

Hello experts,
In a custom requirement, we need to interrupt the workflow process.
For example, if we have 4 levels of approval. After the 2nd approver has approved the shopping cart, then the workflow process should be kept on hold. Based on a custom interface result, if the condition from another interface is satisfied, then the shopping cart should appear in 3rd approver's UWL.
I tried with triggering interrupt method of class /SAPSRM/cl_wf_apv_facade in save BADI of shopping cart. But it did not work.
Please let me know how can i interrupt the workflow process till some custom condition is satisfied.
Regards,
Yayati Ekbote

Quite often this kind of requirements can be fulfilled by using wait steps in the workflow. One example could be that you put a "wait for event" step in your workflow template. Then you could trigger this event from your interface (or whatever) with function module SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT.
Maybe I should ask that how do you know that the condition has been fulfilled? Is it a field in a certain table, or? If yes, instead of the "wait for event" step, you could also wait that your condition is fulfilled (a field in your table gets value X). Just take a look into the workflow template and its step types. Wait step is the way to go.
Of course it might be possible that in the SRM/shopping cart workflows, there is already something built-in, which can be then utilized by using some of the BADIs, but if you cannot find anything from the documentation, then choose one of the above-mentioned approaches.

Karri

Switching off the workflows...

During actual production cutover, we need a means of switching off team center and other workflow updates that send information out of SAP during conversion runs and switch them back on again after conversion.
We need something that we can use (like a flag or switch) repeatedly for the release
HEY guys anyidea what can be done about this.. .need to this ASAP... going live in a few days....
Thanks in advance
Update :
For example
Now for a vendor create or change workflow.. we neeed to switch on or off the workflow depending on who is running it.. no which is std WF for vendor ?? i know questions are bit random... any help will do at this point
The business object BUS1008 for vendoe shows a stop sign...what exactly does that mean
The business object BUS2020 ACCOUNTS PAYABLE for vendoR is not implemented
The businedd obhect BUS3008 is active but the event is not implemented or released ..
These are all the details that i have... now i am not really sure who told these ppl that a workflow is triggered at all which sends the data to the Team center..
Any ideas ???

Hi,
Though I did not understand what you exactly need I can answer some of the questions you have asked below:
A stop sign in a Business Object indicates that the BO is obsolete and there is a newer version that is available. For example in the case of the vendor the newer version in LFA1.
To understand the various phases in a BO development then refer to this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c5/e4ab0e453d11d189430000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Now coming to the main question of switch off the workflow depending on some criteria. I guess this can be acheived through start conditions. Though a proper business scenario is needed to justify why some people are exempted from the workflow process you can do this through start conditions. You will need to maintain a table where you update the table with the users for whom the workflow is not active and at runtime check the "Document created by" user and check it against the table and update an attribute and have the workflow start on the basis of this attribute.
Hope this helps,
Sudhi
