PR work flow Hierarchy forwarding problem

Hi folks,
Thank you one and all for your help making me reach my client requirments.
However, I still face a critical problem in PR work flow. If there is no prerequistie maintained in the release prerequiste and If i have 3 persons in the hireracy then SAP system is triggering 3 sepereate work items to there inboxes, which should not happen according to the requirment. please suggest me with the relevant changes that need to be considered other than making the prerequiste mandatory.

Hi ,
lets say A0
A1
A2
are the respective persons release code of the PR in the given hierrachy. Lets say that no pre requistie is specified for the release prerequistie. Client wants to forward first work item for approval to A0 first after a deadine of 8 days he wants that to be forwarded to A1 ( inspite of not approved from A0 ) and if A1 also not approves then it should be forwarded to A2 and wait there for ever for the final approval.
But presently what happens is that there are three seperate work items that are getting created and simultaneosly forwarding to A0,A1, A2 and seperately waitng for their approval. so do plese suggest me with any invovative steps to achieve the requirments if possible.
Thanks and Regards,

WORK Flow Chart Question/problem

Hi
I am kind a lost and looking for some pointers what to do with my problem.
Background
I have this flow chart which works fine. What it does is any change on the salary over the basic pay for that employee triggers and emails an approval email to the manager. The manager can approve/deny it, forward it to upper level or if he is absent from work the flow chart automatically picks up the next level person and sends him/her the mail for approval.
I have a report which shows which employees have locked salary (waiting for approval), who got approve and so on.
Problem
I need to show who approved it. This data is not saved on a table (I think) as the other information. But if I see the workflow log it shows the agent that approved it.
Now how can I get the agents name from that log or where should I start to look for the solution.
Thanks in advance and I always award points

Hi Wasim,
Such tables can be maintained through customizing. You can go to transaction SPRO to do customozing. Usually basis team do this. You being a developer may not have authorizations for this.

Work flow help - forward a date field by a specified call frequency

Hi There, I have a 'Last Call Date' field and a 'Call Frequency' picklist with values 'Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly'. I would like to forward another field called 'Next Call Date' according to the call frequency chosen.
Is it also possible to automatically create a task to make that 'Next Call' and populate my calendar?
Thanks

Domenic,
It won't do what you want it to do, the task due date will only forward from the date the workflow ran. But i do vaguely remember finding in the help files somewhere a way to add to a date. So you could possibly create a new field called forward call date and have the workflow update this date with last call date + x days.
I found this in the help file under Expression Builder - Today ()
Today's date and time (for example, 01/02/08 11:15:22).
It is possible to perform calculations with date-time fields in
calculated fields. When a number is entered in a date-time
field, days are represented by integers; hours, minutes and
seconds are represented by fractions.
For example, to add one minute to the current date and
time, use the following expression, which is derived from
the fact that one day has 1440 minutes:
Timestamp() + 1/1440
Can't help any more than this as I've not tried to add to a date field, maybe someone else has another idea?
Good luck
cheers

Hi Pat,
1) Is it possible to put amount limint let's say > 25k we would like to non visiable with help of this profile?I believe this can be done with the help of forms personalization rather than the profile option.

One more thing , Now business says is it possible to handle at work flow level? So atlest we can prevent to hind this button.
1) So let's say if we keep visible and if BU will press Forward button then once's they approve it will come back to same business users?Yes, it is possible.

Bus2014 Work flow display problem

Hi Folks,
In my work flow I am using BUS2014, when I am trying to interpet the process for decison step, the process should display the purchase contracts, In some users its diaplaying and in some users its not displaying even though the same authorisations are there for all the users.
What could be the problem.?
Secondly,
I am using one more decision step down the branched work flow to stop for user decision to change the purchase contracts, the problem is when I am trying to call method display and when user is changing the contracts into change mode, saving and returning back the whole session is comming back to Easy access rather than staying in deision step of the user in workflow inbox. is there any alternative that I can deal with.
Thanks and Regards,
Krishna Mukthineni

Hi folks,
The second problem lies with the application displaying.. It cannot go to some other transaction like change mode and come back as in Njoy tranctions... so I have adjusted the code to make the display of the method in change mode i.e. Me32k so it is working fine.
But still I have the first problem .. some times the display through method dont reflect for the user.. please help in this regard...

Internal order work flow problem

Both WF issues are related to internal orders , Transaction KO03
==========
Example for 1 st case
consider A , 1 , 2, 3 , 4 are approvers
A --->>>> 1) , 2) , 3) , 4)
if A doesnt approved in 3 days , then it go to 1 , 2, 3, 4
after 3 days , any one of them 1, 2 ,3 , 4 can approve it
3 days passes , but before any one of them approve , its already approved by A
all of 1, 2 , 3, 4 have mail in their inbox for approval , but
here work flow is completed , what work flow is supposed to do , it does
, but in status error is coming .
why this is error is coming , even when workflow completed and workflow does its job
==========
Second problem
one user X have approved , after its approval status should change to approved ,
but it is not changing and it is showing status in process .
therefore work flow monitoring team , who is checking which WF request are still in process
again initiating workflow .
Now again same cycle repeats , it again comes to inbox of same user , who earlier approves.
Please suggest why status is not changing , even after approval , why it is showing status in process
and why same user X , who earlier approves it , getting mail in its inbox for approving it.

Using LR and DxO in work flow.. file size problems

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with using both DxO and LR in their work flow that can help me with the following problem?
DxO takes my NEF and creates a DNG optically corrected. Great. Now I should just import these DNG files into LR and be on my way.. except that it seems to use Linear DNG rather then mosaiced and the file sizes are through the roof. My 10mb NEF file is converted into a 30mb DNG. Trying to reconvert using LR has no effect. If I start working with images in this size I will immediately see all my storage space cut by a third from the point of view of the number of images stored.
Has anyone found a way to work around this problem? I tried to use the adobe DNG converter to reconvert the images but it can go from mosaic to linear but not linear to mosaic. Turning on compression has no effect implying it is already a compressed DNG. Trying to zip the files also fails to have an effect.
I am really bummed out.. and wish I had paid more attention to file sizes during my trial.
Right now I am leaning toward only using DxO for a few special images and doing the rest entirely in LR.. but that really defeats the purpose of what I thought would be a great one two punch.
Thanks,
Chris

David,
The output preset you're using must have TIF enabled. Either edit it to remove the TIF option or create a new JPG-only one if you want to keep the option of exporting to both in the future.
I can't be more precise as I'm currently away from home and the DxO installation on my laptop has decided to deactivate and revert to time-expired demo mode, meaning I can't actually open the app!
[Edit]
Okay, sorted now.... In the DxO Optics Pro "Process" module, under the "Options" section you'll see "Output Formats". There should be one called "Default Output" which outputs to JPG. Ensure that the checkbox next to it is checked and that any others are disabled (unchecked). Your images will now only be exported after processing as JPGs. If you click the "X" next to an output preset you can delete it if no longer required.

Install problems with Work Flow 9.0.4

I've installed the 10g (9.2.0.4 rdbms and 9.0.4 AS and CMSDK) on a RedHat 3 ES machine and had no problems (thanks to Werner Puschitz for his great how to http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml).
Now I am trying to install the Work Flow product that accompanies the ias904cmsdk. But the Work Flow configuration fails when it tests the SYS login.
My reading of the sqlnet.log and workflow.log files is that the install script (wfinstall.csh) is trying to start an instance of Oracle in the AS bin folder. (Fatal TNS error connecting to ...(PROGRAM=/opt/.../as9i/bin/oracle)...
I installed the J2EE / Webcache installation of AS (as per the CMSDK recommendations) so there is no instance of oracle in the AS home/bin folder. The rdbms is in a different ORACLE_HOME than Work Flow. I've tried setting and unsetting the ORACLE_HOME and this makes no difference.
Does anyone out there have any ideas?

Losing Edits?!?... Am I having a Work Flow Problem???

OK, so this is what I am working with...
All Graphic Designers are on Mac OSX Snow Leopard running Adobe InDesign CS5
All Editors/Writers are on PC (various versions of windows?) running Adobe InCopy CS6
We are all working off a server to share these files...
This is our current "work flow", I've created .icmt files for the Editors/Writers to start their content in.
I have also created .indt files for the Graphic Designers to start the layout process.
Once the Editors/Writers have opened a .icmt file and entered the content, they save the file out as .icml files, then notifies the Designers that the content is ready to be placed.
The Designer then opens the .indt file and places the .icml files into the layout (this document usually runs about 16 letter size pages with approximately 30 assignments (.icml files)).
The file is then saved as a .indd file.
Now during the editing process while the designer is still laying out the document, the Editor/Writer opens the .indd file in InCopy and checks out an assignment to start their edits... and on several occasions after spending a good amount of time on edits, they check it back in, but they lose ALL of their edits that they just made??? What are we doing wrong here (sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't)?
If anyone could help me, i'd very much appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hello. I am recently having problems with my
PowerBook. Hope you guys could help out =)...
Firstly, I am having that 'beach ball problem' where
the color beach ball keeps spinning and spinning when
I'm loading applications or even using Safari.
Secondly, I went to Disk Utility and did a 'Verify
Disk Permissions'. My results are as follows:
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Volume Header needs minor repair
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
I'm so lost and worried now! My questions is, my hard
disk going to crash or something? I have no backup at
all! Help Help!
PowerBook G4 15-inch Mac OS X
(10.4.3)
Don't know about the beach ball. But the message indicates that the disk is probably OK. However, you cannot repair a disk while the system has it mounted; esp. the startup disk. You have to startup up using another disk; e.g., the install CD/DVD. Then you can run the disk utility and repair your main disk.

Problem with PO Work Flow

Hi Gurus,
               I am working on PO work flow. when I create a PO in workflow builder start event is getting into disable mode.
Why its happening like that I could not understand.
Can anybody please help me to find why the start event (Release Step Created) is going to disable mode ? Is there any basis settings are required?
Thanks.
Ranganadh.

Hi Aditya and Narin,
                Thanks for your reply.
                What I am saying is I have copied the standard workflow and using that. I have activated the ReleaseStepCreated event in Start Of events Tab. But when I create a PO automaticallu it is getting in to deactivated mode. Again I am activating it and creating the PO still its going to deactivated mode.
Evene in the SBWP if I click log and then graphic its giving me dump saying SQL Erroor 1555 occured.
I think few basis settings are missed out. I dont know what they are and what to do.
Please help me in this.
Thanks.
Ranganadh
