Configuration of approvals

Hi,
Can someone please tell me where to look and configure for approvals.
The scenario is "Approver is not configured for forms that are set to expire in X days after submitting the form". so the form is forwarded to experts which shouldnt.
Regards,
Sriram

Hi,
Did you look at the workflow which is been used? Is there any code which forward the request to approver.
Since from the config you don't have any control to say the request expires after x days of submitting.
Check with your workflow consultant to check the logic.
Hope this helps.
Cheers-
Pramod

Approvals in Work Clearance Management

Dear PM Experts,
How can I do next:
Approvals in WCM-objects are derived from the master record of the reference object or from the maintance order, that is assigned to the work clearance application.
If I can't do it, please, make your comments about my problem.
Kind regards,
Molchun

Hello Sebastian,
Thanks for those inputs and my apologies for not puttin up clear screen shots.I have tried to get clearer ones this time round.
In the configuration the approvals are mandatory; also the tables WCALA and WCALQ have the entries for the respective documents.
I tried to replicate one scenario wherein the work approval is red and the rest of the documents (work applicationa nd WCD) are green. I could achieve by revoking the permit using the traffic light. I am not able to replicate the other scenarios, though.
Please let me know your observations; my hunch is that after completing the tagging process the user is trying to fiddle with the permit.
thanks,
Beryl

Automatic Approvals don't Approve

I have an Automatic Approval that includes Definition Updates and Office 2010. I've noticed that my WSUS doesn't want to. approve any of them for some reason. My rule looks like this:
Looking at the latest June definition update, it's not approved. Are my rules done incorrectly?
Orange County District Attorney

I've actually got lots of them that are not auto-approved. Many are older security updates. When I first setup the WSUS server, I did a synchronization before configuring auto-approvals. I'm sure the many updates that are not approved are because of this.
I understand that anything synchronized before this won't be retroactively approved.
I've run every report I could find to locate all my Not Approved updates but WSUS just doesn't want to show them to me. I've been trying to get into the WID database and see if the tables reveal anything but I haven't been able to get the database cracked
open correctly. I realize this is not the right way to do it but short of reinstalling WSUS, I'm stuck.
We use this stand-alone WSUS server to create Win7 and Win8 images and during the creation ( with MDT 2013 ) we update the base images with everything that's needed from WSUS. When we finally deploy the images, we use SCCM 2012 to further manage the systems.
What I'm finding is that after creating our base image and deploying it, SCCM scans it and finds over 60 security updates that WSUS didn't install during the initial image creation. I've had to manually search and approve each one of the updates so we can
finally create a fully patched, base image.
Not as much fun as I'd like to have. Would love to find out a better way of finding all the Not Approved updates.

Error in Work Clearance Management

Hello Team,
In my client's system; there are certain cases of Work Approval with WCDs, wherein the status is PREP CLSD (Prepared and CLosed) and the traffic light is not green for all the documents.
I have listed the scenarios below for your reference:
The WCM used is Enhanced model and they ahve customized by using an exit for closing the approval to enter some adminstrative data.
I would like to know how these scenarios have been achieved and how they can be rectified if possible.
I am new to WCM and hence I would appreciate your kind help in this matter.
Thanks

Workflow mailer configuration only for APPROVALS

Hi,
We need to configure Workflow Mailer for those where APPROVAL is required, means user don't want to receive any notification except than APPROVAL. Is there any way to do this .
Thanks!

You can look into creating vacation rules that will redirect the FYI notifications from certain workflows to a dummy mailbox.
Try and see if that works.

Error: ORA-16532: Data Guard broker configuration does not exist

Hi there folks. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
Anyways, we have a 10.2.0.4 rac primary and a 10.2.0.4 standby physical standby. We recently did a switchover and the dgbroker files automatically got created in the Oracle_home/dbs location of the primary. Now need to move these files to the common ASM DG. For this, I followd the steps from this doc:
How To Move Dataguard Broker Configuration File On ASM Filesystem (Doc ID 839794.1)
The only exception to this case is that I have to do this on a Primary and not a standby so I am disabling and enabling the Primary(and not standby as mentioned in below steps)
To rename the broker configuration files in STANDBY to FRA/MYSTD/broker1.dat and FRA/MYSTD/broker2.dat, Follow the below steps
1. Disable the standby database from within the broker configuration
DGMGRL> disable database MYSTD;
2. Stop the broker on the standby
SQL> alter system set dg_broker_start = FALSE;
3. Set the dg_broker_config_file1 & 2 parameters on the standby to the appropriate location required.
SQL> alter system set dg_broker_config_file1 = '+FRA/MYSTD/broker1.dat';
SQL> alter system set dg_broker_config_file2 = '+FRA/MYSTD/broker2.dat'
4. Restart the broker on the standby
SQL> alter system set dg_broker_start = TRUE
5. From the primary, enable the standby
DGMGRL> enable database MYSTD;
6. Broker configuration files will be created in the new ASM location.
I did so but when I try to enable the Primary back I get this:
Error: ORA-16532: Data Guard broker configuration does not exist
Configuration details cannot be determined by DGMGRL
Form this link,(Errors setting up DataGuard Broker it would seem that I would need to recreate the configuration....Is that correct ? If yes then how come Metalink is missing this info of recreating the configuration... OR is it that that scenario wouldnt be applicable in my case ?
Thanks for your help.

Yes I can confirm from the gv$spparameter view that the changes are effective for all 3 instances. From the alert log the alter system didnt throw u pany errros. I didnt restart the instances though since I dont have the approvals yet. But I dont think thats required.

BRM Approval Process and MSMP Stage Configuration Problems!

G'Day All,
I've raised a question in the following blog but it got to a stage where it is not related to the original post anymore. So I would like to draw upon your collective knowledge and appreciate it if you all can jump in and help me out here.
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3555700
So this is where I'm at this point:
Why use two kinds of Approvals in BRM Role Generation?
Role Content Approval - Through BRF+ Condition
MSMP Approval - Role Owner etc
It seems redundant to have two approvals for pretty much the same thing. I believe in both cases (I am guessing) the Approver would be the same person, approving precisely the same thing. So why not have just one?
Is there a way I can tie up the BRF+ Approver Rule I created, with an 'Agent Rule' in MSMP so I can use the conditions defined to dictate who the request should go to.
For Example:
Condition1: Then Request should go to Approver1
Condition2: Then Request should go to Approver 2
* These Conditions are defined in BRF+ Approver Rule and linked in IMG and 'Role Owners' in NWBC.
Alternatively, I tried creating an Initiator Rule from scratch for SAP_GRAC_ROLE_APPR Process ID, using BRF+ with the exact same conditions and everything seems to be OK except the Configuration ID part in Stages. Screen shots of my MSMP WF is as follows:
Step 1: Process ID
Step 2: Maintain Rules
Step 3: Mantain Agents
Step 5: Maintain Paths
Step 6: Route Mapping
I have encountered errors while generating the WF, which are as follows:
I tried defining my own configuration ID for Stage 1:
So I tried changing the name of the config ID thinking maybe there is a particular naming convention I have to follow:
Next I tried using the default configuration ID and link my Agent ID to it:
So I would appreciate it if any of you could tell me what on earth is happening as I never had this problem with my other Initiator Rules. Is there a particular 'Naming Convention' for stage config IDs or can I give anything as long as they start with a Z/Y/X?
Regards,
Leo..

Hiya Colleen,
For each path did you go into the Stage Settings of the Step?
No I haven't as at this point my focus is on testing the WF, so I haven't really mucked around with any settings. So let me know if there is something I need to do in Stage Settings please.
By the way, the default approval is useful if you are actually using the SAP delivered Agent Rule for roel Owner.
Thank You.I gathered that from my problem.
Are you splitting the intiator rule as you want to send the request to different approvers or because you want to do different approval steps? If the first scenario (different approvers) you could just use the BRF+ rule to set the approvers. But if you want the different levels of approval then the MSMP would be used.
I only created this Initiator Rule because I wasn't sure how to Integrate my Approver Rule created in BRF+ with MSMP WF. My intention is to send the approval to its intended Approver based on the defined Condition. So I believe BRF+ will take care of this as long as long as the 'SAP delivered Agent Rule for Role Owner' is used (as pointed out by you earlier).
Another thing - for the initiator rule you have covered Single Role Sensitive and Non Sensitive but do you have any other Roles? If so, you have not factored them in.
Again at this point I am just testing and trying to learn how to integrate BRF+ into Role Methodology Process, so I just picked Single Roles.

Leo..

How to include AME Approvals on HRMS Enter and Maintain

Hi,
We're on 12.1.3 and have received a request to include approvals in the "Enter and Maintain" form of HRMS Manager responsibility. I've checked on the User Function "Combined Person & Assignment Form WF="GLB HRMS TSKFLW" and I can see the workflow name "WORKFLOW_NAME="GLOBAL HRMS PERSON TASKFLOW"
I've suggested to a consultant to create a copy of this workflow and customize it to include approvals. His response is that it's a taskflow, not a workflow, and therefore can't be customized. Is there a where to include approvals in Enter and Maintain form so that any changes to the employee details get approved?
dula

Hi Dula,
Do you want this approval to happen from PUI form. I dont think this this would be possible, at max you can send trigger alert(or any other notification) when there is any change on the personal record.However, if you self-service, whenever employee does any change on his record, you can configure AME, to send for approval.
Thanks,
Avinash

Unpaid Leave Configuration in Oracle HRMS

Hi Champs,
I have requirement to configure Unpaid Leave. We want to follow the approach where one recurring standard link element will be attached to all the employees to check if leave is existing or not. If leave is existing then all the deductions will be consolidated and made as one deduction element. If leave is not existing then formula will just return the message.I am looking for setup steps for this.
If someone has any setup type document mentioning the steps and sample formula, please do provide.
Thank You in advance.
Cheers,

Hi Arun,
Can the HR not use the normal Absence screens(PUI) for the CEO ?
Approvals can be delegated with Vacation rules, but with MSS, only a manager can enter absence for employees and not the other way around.
You could create a custom self-service responsibility with the absence pages and have a custom security profile(to view only a select few). Does that help ?
Thanks,
Vignesh

Regarding SAP SRM Inbox configuration

Hello Guys,
We are in the process of configuring the SRM workflow approvals in Portal.
We made the basic mandatory configurations and we are able to see the workitems in the UWL.
But unfortunately, we need configure the Inbox iView comes with the SAP SRM business package to work.
With the configurations recommended, we manage to get the workitems in the standard Inbox iView.
Only the header items are shown and when opened, a new window opens with just the header. Information of the workitems are not shown. But the same is shown in Universal Worklist.
We are just wondering what could be wrong.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks and Regards,
Vivek

Hello Siddharth,
Thanks for the quick response.
I think it is POWL. After making some entries in the SRM system table, we are able to get the workitems in the Inbox view, but no details were displayed.
We tries modifying the xml
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.srm.TS93107952" connector="WebFlowConnector"
defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchSAPAction" executionMode="default">
<ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_SRM" externalType="TS93107952" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
<Action name="launchSAPAction" groupAction="" handler="SAPIACLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes"
launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
<Properties>
<Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
<Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
<Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
<Property name="IAC" value="BBPCF02"/>
</Properties>
</Actions>
</ItemType>
We just want to see the workitem details like we do in the UWL.
Thanks and regards,
Vivek

Configure an Environment for Apps for SharePoint 2013

hH,
We are building QA environment for Sharepoint 2013. For this my management asked me to configure the APPS store. But when i referred the MSDN article, they are suggesting
" You must purchase a domain name from a domain name provider for your apps, for example, ContosoApps.com."
Which is not possible in my case as purchasing a new domain requires lot of approvals also this is an QA environment.
So please suggest on the below points
1) whats wrong to build a sub domain like APPS.XXXX.COM instead of XXXXAPPS.COM
2) since it is in a QA environment, is it necessary to have a SSL ??
3) is it need to have a different APPS stores for QA & PROD environments.
Thanks,
Praveen
Sharepoint HELP

Hi Praveen,
you don't need to buy a domain use your internal DNS
no need for SSL since it is QA
i think you mean app catalog, each environment will be having it app catalog
