Extraction of Workflow Approver

Hello,
We need to extract information about who is the approver for a workflow object.
Any information you can provide will be appreciated.
Specifically, we need to determine who is designated to approve an SRM shopping cart.  We've run SQL trace (ST05) when calling up the approver using the SRM web application, but the results are very difficult to understand -- probably because workflow is a generic process and used by a lot of SAP applications.  Lack of a SAP-GUI front-end makes things a lot more difficult.
Hints very much welcome!  Thanks.

Hi krishna,
                   yes we did enhancement to this data source. In PRDOCTION its taking 27 hours time  to load data.
          For extraction from source system (CRM) its taking  nearly 24 hours time  as per JOb LOG .

  • How to use a pwa group in CREATE A TASK PROCESS in SPD 2013 for project server workflow approval process

    I am working on a Project Server 2013 workflow. I am creating this using Sharepoint Designer 2013. In this workflow I am using approval process at one stage. I have created a security group SalesManagers in PWA. I want to use this group for workflow approval
    process. I want all users of this group get approval tasks. 
    For this I used START A TASK PROCESS activity in the SP Designer. I clicked on
    this user and created task process. But here I could not find SalesManager group which I created in PWA. I was only able to find the users. I can also see
    Administrators for PWA . But couldnot find SalesManager or any other security group created in pwa.
    Can anyone suggest how I can get the security group created in pwa.

    NBDevelopment,
    I believe SPD only recognizes the SharePoint Groups and not the project server security groups.
    The Administrators for PWA, and few other groups like Project Managers for PWA etc., are synced SharePoint Groups with the security groups, which is why they show up in SPD.
    You could create a SharePoint Group for the Sales Managers group and use that in SPD.

  • Reminder mail for workflow approval

    Hi All,
    We have a scheduled task which sends Reminder mails for workflow approval which has been pending for more than 5 days.
    Recently I created new workflow definitions and reminder task stopped sending mails.
    I checked task and it has IapiTaskIfc Class com.frictionless.custom.wkfreminder.sendWorkflowReminder.
    How to check this class and do i need to make changes somewhere else to send reminder mails?
    Regards,
    Prabhat

    Hi Prabhat,
    I am working on creating a scheduled task for sending reminder emails. I need help on IapiTaskIfc Class com.frictionless.custom.wkfreminder.sendWorkflowReminder. Can you please share sendWorkflowReminder class to me, so that I can get idea about the code written for sending reminder emails? It would be great help.
    To check the class, you need to get the jar from server and decompile it. You can get some idea by looking at the java class file then.
    Thanks,

            } else {
                throw new ServiceException(error.m_errorCode,
                        error.getMessage());

    I guess it is caused by the fact that some of variables in the binder refer to the first workflow item. My bet would be dDocName.
    Try to find out what's in the binder if you approve the second item from GUI and what's there when you do it from your program. That should give you enough info what you need to change.

  • Workflow approval from mobile in ECC5

      We are already having workflow approval in R/3 where it happening from SAP inbox now my client want to migrate to mobile phone. Its it possible from ECC5 we dont have portal. How to implement it. Do we need to install any 3rd party like sybase or other. The main module is MM and PS and also they should be online always ie latest data should send and should update immediately ie should be syn with R/3. How it can be achieved. And also it should be device independet approval can be happend from iphone or blackbarry. Is any link or note are available to share with our client. Awaiting for your thoughts.

  • Some Users cannot Open Workflow Approval Task

    We have a SPD workflow published to our production site and it includes a 'Start Approval Process' task which involves a number of users (determined by a lookup to another list) this worked brilliantly until we republished the workflow with some minor changes,
    none of which were to this particular approval task. Now we are seeing some strange behaviours. When some users click the task to approve they are seeing 'This from cannot be opened in a browser, To open this form use Microsoft Infopath'. Now strangely it's
    only certain users, if you're a site collection admin you never have this error. So if a user previously had the error and i then add them to the site collection administrators list the error goes away and they can complete the task.
    Obviously not a solution! giving users full control permissions on the task list or task item doesnt fix the error either. The same workflow on our UAT works without any issues. The task forms in SPD have not been customised either. Its a SP2010 Standard
    farm with no infopath services obviously. Bizarrely there are some users with only Contribute rights to the task list who can open approve tasks, so it's looking like a permissions issue to me but I'm at a loss to find a fix. I've tried totally removing
    the worklows and republishing, regenerating the .xsn task forms in SPD by deleting them and republishing, removing and re-adding the task related content types to site, Changing the Approval Task settings 'only allow users to edit their tasks...' to false
    and then back to true, the works, but to no avail.
    Anybody any ideas?
    TIA
    Chris

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that Some Users cannot Open Workflow Approval Task.
    I recommend that you can create a new list and workflow to check whether it works.
    Then use the user who get the error to open task.
    If he can open the task in the brower, the issue is related to the older list.
    Then you can use the new created list and assgin the task.
    Here is a similar thread for your reference:

  • Self Registration without Company or Workflow approval

    Hello,
    We have NW2004s SP 10.  Is it possible to allow a very simple self registration without using Companies or Workflow approval?  The online help seems to imply that this is possible, but I've tried to configure our Portal as such but nothing shows up on our welcome page. 
    What I've done is the following:
    User Admin UI settings:
    Enable Self-Registration of Guest Users=true
    Display Contact Information Form During Self-Registration = true
    All the rest are set to false/blank or default
    Visual Admin settings:
    Server ->Service -> UME Provider -> ume.logon.selfreg = true
    Thanks,
    T

    You also need to assign the UME Action UME.Selfregister_User to the Everyone group. Use /useradmin to create a UME role called something useful and add the UME action specified.
    Now grant that role to the Everyone group.
    Cheers

  • Redirection not working as expected after workflow approval

    Hi,
    We are migrating our application from Stellent 7.1 to WCC 11g and finding a strange issue in 11g with respect to a functionality that is working perfectly in 7.1.
    We have two services for workflow approval. If the approval is happening from the QA workflow, the service being called is WORKFLOW_APPROVE_SUBMIT_QA and if it is happening from other workflows, the service being called is WORKFLOW_APPROVE_SUBMIT.
    The actions for these two services are the same except the prepareRedirect action as given below:
    1. WORKFLOW_APPROVE_SUBMIT redirects to IdcService=GET_PORTAL_PAGE&Action=GetTemplatePage&Page=WF_INQUEUE_LIST, which displays the workflow assignments for the user from all workflows.
    3:prepareRedirect:IdcService=GET_PORTAL_PAGE&Action=GetTemplatePage&Page=WF_INQUEUE_LIST
    2. WORKFLOW_APPROVE_SUBMIT_QA redirects to IdcService=QA_WORKFLOW_LIST (a custom service written that will display the contents in the user's queue from the QA workflow)
    3:prepareRedirect:IdcService=QA_WORKFLOW_LIST::null
    For WORKFLOW_APPROVE_SUBMIT service, the redirection is happening as expected.
    But, WORKFLOW_APPROVE_SUBMIT_QA service is redirecting to IdcService=GET_DOC_PAGE&Action=GetTemplatePage&Page=HOME_PAGE instead of the specified redirect.
    We tried changing the redirect action for the service WORKFLOW_APPROVE_SUBMIT_QA to IdcService=GET_PORTAL_PAGE&Action=GetTemplatePage&Page=WF_INQUEUE_LIST, but still it is redirecting to the HOME_PAGE.
    Highly appreciate any solution for this issue or any suggestions on the possible cause.
    Thanks,
    Manjusha

    I have version 33.0.1 and i still have this problem, any other help ? Thanks!

  • Workflow Approval for CTS+ for NON ABAP Transport

    Hi
    We have a NW Portal system currently using CTS+ for transport.
    We would like to incorporate a workflow approval for transport across the different landscape (DEV -> TEST -> QA -> PRD) with CTS+. The workflow approval would work in such a way that when someone approves a transport request from DEV->TEST, the Basis Admin will then perform the import to TEST. So this approval will also be needed from TEST -> QA and QA -> PRD.
    Does Solution Manager provide such workflow approval for NON ABAP transport?
    I do hope anyone has such experience to share.
    Thanks.
    Regards
    mike

    Hi Mike
    Yes solution Manager CHARMS or Change request managment functionality uses CTS+ to move the Non ABAP requests
    it uses IBASE as identifier for systems and for more can search sdn

  • ERM - Workflow Approval Configuration in ERM and CUP

    Hi Experts,
    I'm in the midst of configuring the workflow approval for ERM and have some queries.
    I followed the post-installation guide part 1 for ERM on the workflow configuration and have sucessfully done the following:
    1. Verified that the "AE_init_append_data_RE.xml" has been uploaded in CUP with Append option
    2. Verified that request type "RE_ROLE_APPROVAL" with workflow type "RE" exists
    3. Verified that priority "RE_HIGH" with workflow type "RE" exists
    4. Created a workflow initiator for ERM called "ROLE_APPROVAL" in CUP -> Configuration -> Workflow -> Initiator (with the said details as per the post-installation guide)
    5. Created a CAD called "ERM_ROLE_APPROVER" for ERM in CUP -> Configuration -> Workflow -> Custom Approver Determinator (with the said details as per the post installation guide, filling in the necessary URI, uname/pw for admin with UME roles)
    6. Created TWO stages , one stage for the role owner called "ERM_ROLE_APPROV", and one stage for the internal control owner called "ERM_ROLE_APPRO2", both with workflow type "RE" and Approver Determinator "ERM_ROLE_APPROVER" which was created in step 5 earlier.
    7. Created a path for ERM Role Approval Workflow in CUP -> Configuration -> Workflow -> Path, with workflow type "RE", Number of Stages "2", Initiator "ROLE_APPROVER", Active "checked" and I put Stage 1 as "ERM_ROLE_APPROV" and stage 2 as "ERM_ROLE_APPRO2".
    8. Configured the Exit Web Service (followed the details as per the post-installation guide for ERM)
    As my role approval is pretty straight forward (i.e. based on business process attribute defined, with each role owner being responsible for their business process), I did the following:
    1. Create approval criteria "Role Approver for Business Process FI"
    2. For that criteria, I based it on attribute "Business Process"
    3. I clicked on "Assign Approvers" to define who is the approver (i.e. the respective role owner responsible for Process FI)
    4. I defined the condition for this criteria, Condition = AND, Attribute = Business Process, Value = FI
    My queries:
    1. Is the approval criteria which I created in ERM, referring to 1st stage or 2nd stage of the path in CUP?
    2. I'm assuming that for query 1, the approval criteria which I created is for 1st stage (i.e. ERM_ROLE_APPROV), where can I configure the 2nd level approval for the internal control owner (i.e. ERM_ROLE_APPRO2, in the path which I defined in CUP)?
    Thanks!

    Hi Baldwin,
    All workflow paths in CUP are triggered by an Initiator.  Once the request from ERM meets "Initiator" ("ROLE_APPROVAL") requirements in CUP, the request will go to the first stage defined in the respective path. Approvers defined in each stage of the path can approve request. Once the request is approved in CUP, approval information will be sent to ERM and then the role in ERM will be moved to the next stage.
    Best Regards,
    Sirish Gullapalli.

  • Role Expert Workflow Approval Criteria

    Hi,
    I am trying to add workflow approval criteria to Role Expert
    I have gone to the configuration menu -->workflow --> approval criteria
    I have set-up an approval expression 'Functional Area' = Finance. However when I go to search for an approver or alternate approver no results are returned. i have AE approvers set up in UME. Where does Role Expert pull this list of users information from?
    Thanks Gary

    I think you cannot directly change it since some of the roles are associated with your old workflow.
    However, you can contact SAP for the same and ask for the script.

    Hi Abhijeet,
    You do not have workflows in cFolders.
    Suggest to use status networks in cFolders instead.
