In work flow I put two decision Step

After manager approved workitem should go to hod . this my scenario
employee 03   Trigger the workflow based on the rule 00000168 workitem will go to manager
It's working fine .
After manager approved
Next decision step will executed
Work Item should go to superior of ( Manager ) that is Hod of department, here I am using rule 157.
but it would go to manager.
How to solve .

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?

Problem in work flow of PE while mapping 2 source structure into 1 target

We have scenario in BPM where in we have to mapp 2 source structure's into target.
To be more specific one structure occurance is 0 to unbounded and other one is of single occurance.
We have done the mapping with target structure and tested it manually in mapping . its working fine..
While testing it in Configuration scenario, In the workflow process i.e PE process flow, we were not able to get one of the source message structure as the input Message. Instead of two source messages, it is seen only one. Please guide us in this issue.

actually we are receiving only one message, henece we do not need a correleation. But once we receive this message we are splitting into multiple messages in the transformation step. and we use these split messages in different transformation steps. but in one of the transformation steps we are unable see one of the split messages in the transformation step(though we have used the proper container element.). Please let me know if any ideas on this.

Problem regarding work-flow?

Hi SDN,
Can any one tell while creating a task for WF
what a General Task, General forwarding allowed, General forwarding not allowed & forwarding not allowed indicates?
When to select which type of task?
Regards,
Rahul

It's kind of self explanatory, suppose you don;t want the workitem te be forwarded you select forwarding not allowed.
This is a functional issue and not a technical. Also this is not an abap general question.
Please first search the workflow forum.
If you don't find what you need, rephrase your question and post it in the workflow forum.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

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.

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.

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.

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.

hi
TO make use of Leave request worflow , there is a SAP delivered template 12300111 , which can be utilized for leave approval.
1 if the concern supervisor is not available can we assign to another alter person to approve ?
there are 2 methods to handle this, 1 is that the concerned supervisor can make a substituion rule in portal , 2 , you will have to implement deadline monitoring in your workflow.
2 if the concern person is not using mails can that leave request goes to supervisor mobile ?
the supervisor can logon to portal using mobile , if he has a smartphone device. , ya mobile approvals are possible .
3 if any person is taken leave with out informing , once he come to the office after leave can we send the leave request of past dates of what he already utilised ?
ya you can do this scenario , only payroll related things need to be checked in this case.

Work flow management - SD

Dear Friends,
1.Can somebody throw light on Work Flow management?
2.How is SD integrated with Work flow and what are the business processes that needs work flow in SD?
3.Is it like a Work flow consultant is required to handle this or can we handle the workflow from SD end itself?
Thanks
Isaac

Hi,
Few points on workflow was prepared by me and screen shots are not there. You can refer
ALE, EDI and IDOC Technologies for SAP by Arvind Nagpal
For further detail.
if the requirment is minimal then SD consultant can handle otherwise Workflow consultant is required.
Introduction
The workflow management system provides procedural automation of steps in business process. A business process can consist of several steps. Historically the tasks have been coordinated manually or by some means of communication (sticky note, email, shouting and so on). The common problem in these approaches is in efficiency; each lacks a way to trace where a task is, who executed (or executing) it, and how much time is required.
In contrast, workflow management system ensures that the right work is sent to the right person at the right time in the right sequence with the right information. The ALE/EDI interface mainly uses workflow for exception (or error) handling.
Application of Workflow in ALE/EDI
Error Notification
Error notification is the primary use of workflow. When exceptions are raised in the outbound and inbound process workflow is started and handled as shown in the below flow diagram.
Active Monitoring
Active monitoring allows you to specify threshold values for the state of the system. If the system crosses the threshold limit, a person responsible for the system problem can be notified. For example you can have some one notified when the number of failed invoice IDOCS in the system exceeds 50.
Rule Based Inbound Flow
This application of workflow in ALE/EDI does not under the category of error handling. You can set up workflow to handle processing of an inbound IDOC. Normally, an inbound IDOC starts a function module that invokes the posting program to create an application document from the IDOC.
In contrast, if you use a workflow, you can set up to do whatever is needed for your business process. SAP doesnu2019t provide standard workflows for the inbound ALE/EDI process, but you can develop your own workflows and tie them to the ALE/EDI process.
For example an incoming order change IDOC can be routed via workflow to a person for review. If the change requested are acceptable the IDOC can be posted.
The Architecture of ALE/EDI Workflow
The components used in ALE/EDI workflow fall into two categories:-
u2022     PD-ORG (organizational) object
u2022     Workflow object
You can view and maintain these components by using the T-code SWLD (Area Menu for workflow).
                         PD-ORG
                                                                                Workflow
PD Organizational Objects
PD ORG object is used to represent the companyu2019s organizational structure in SAP. The following are the PD ORG objects.
u2022     Organizational Units (O)
An Organizational Unit can represent a department, physical location, division or subsidiary.
u2022     JOBS(C)
A job involves performing one or more business tasks. For example, sales order clerk, secretary and manager. Although it is possible to assign individual task directly to a position, it is advisable to group tasks together in a job and to assign the job to the position.
u2022     Position(S)
A position in a company represents his or her rank. If an employee is promoted, that person leaves his or her current position and is assigned to another position. For example, sales order clerk plant 1000, secretary of company code 1000 and manager of accounts.
u2022     Users (US)
A user is a person who has been granted access to the SAP system to use various functions.
All the above mentioned PD ORG objects can be created, changed and displayed by using following T-codes.
u2022     PPOCE  Create mode.
u2022     PPOME  Change mode.
u2022     PPOSE  Display mode.
Screen shot1.
Work Flow Objects
Business objects
A business object represents a business entity that has a definite state and various properties. You can carry out various functions on the object. A business object encapsulates the entire functionality of an object. A business object is given a name in SAP.
For instance, a standard material is assigned the name BUS1001006; it has properties such as material number, description, and material type. These properties are represented using attributes of the business object. The various operations that can be carried out on an object are implemented with methods. For example, if you want to create a material, you can call that business objects create method. An object also has different states. It exposes its various states by publishing events. For example, the material object has created event that is published whenever a new material is created.
The T-code for Business Objects is SW01.
Screen shot2.
Tasks (T or TS)
A task defines a piece of work that can be executed and tracked in the system. Technically, a task points to a method of an object as shown in the below screen shot. In addition, a task defines the text the purpose of the task, the triggering event based on which the task is started, the terminating event that marks the completion of the task, and a role that contains the rules to identify the person who is responsible for executing the task. A task can be started in response to an event triggered in the system. Tasks are categorized as
u2022     Standard Task
Standard Task is provided by SAP and is client independent.
u2022     Customer Task
Customer Task is client dependent and is developed by customers.
The T-code for Tasks is PFTC.
Screen shot3.
Roles
Roles are workflow objects used to determine the person responsible for carrying out a specific task. Each task has a role assigned to it.
The T-code for Roles is PFAC.
Screen shot4.
Work item
A work item represents an instance of a task that needs to be executed. The work item can have various states that govern the operations allowed. The following table describes the various states of a work item and its effect on usability.
Status      Description
Ready     A work item is created and is visible to all selected agents.
Reserved      A work item has been reserved by a user and disappears from all the inbox of other selected users.
In process     A work item is being worked on and can be seen in the inbox of the user who started working on it.
Completed      A work item is complete and cannot be seen in the inbox of any user
The SAP INBOX
The SAP inbox is an interface to manage workflow items and SAP office documents. The below screen shot shows a list of work items in a useru2019s inbox. The SAP inbox contains separate buckets for office documents and workflow items. Office documents are email documents and workflow items are work items. You can display and execute the work items from the inbox. The inbox is highly configurable.
Screen shot5.
Error Notification Process
The error notification process comprises the following steps:-
u2022     Determining the task to be started.
u2022     Routing the error to a responsible agent as a work item.
u2022     Processing of the work item by the responsible agent.
Possible Agents versus Selected Agents versus Actual Agents
A task has three types of agents based on rights to execute:
u2022     Possible agents
Possible agents represent persons who can execute a task. Not all the possible agents get a work item when a task is started.
Possible agents are configured in the system by assigning a task to
several HR objects (job, position, Org unit). A task can be set to
General task, which means that it can be executed by any one.
u2022     Selected agents
Selected agents are the users who get a work item in their inbox. They
are determined by role resolution logic. Selected agents must be a
subset of possible agents. If the selected agent is not found, the work
item is sent to all possible agents. The selected agents are configured
in the partner profile and the IDOC administrator in T-code WE46.
u2022     Actual agents
The actual agent is the person who executes the work item from the inbox. A work item can have several selected agents but only one actual agent. When a selected agent executes a work item, the actual agent for the work item is established, and the work item immediately disappears from the inbox of other selected agents. However, if an actual agent realizes that he or she cannot resolve the problem, the user can replace the work item, causing it to reappear in the selected agentu2019s inboxes.
Level of Agents in ALE/EDI process
Level 1
If a partner profile is located for the problem, the organizational object specified at the message level (inbound or outbound) in the partner profile is notified.
Level 2
If level 1 is cannot be identified because of the problem locating the record, the level 2 organizational object specified in the General View of the Partner profile is read.
Level 3
If neither level 1 nor level 2 can be identified, the system reads the EDICONFIG table for IDOC administrator and sends a notification.
Processing by the Responsible Agent
u2022     The steps necessary to fix an error for which a work item is generated are as follows.
u2022     Execute work item to display the error. Examples of errors include problems in the control record, errors in IDOC data, and incorrect configuration.
u2022     The cause of the problem can usually be determined from the error message. If applicable, additional error information is also available for certain type of errors (for example application errors).
u2022     After the cause of the problem has been determined, it must be fixed outside workflow (or in some cases, within workflow). The recovery procedure depends on the nature of the problem.
-     If the error is in the IDOC data, the IDOC can be edited and then reprocessed from workflow.
-     If the error requires restarting the process from the beginning, the IDOC has to be marked for deletion to stop it from further processing and to clear the work item from the inbox.
-     If the error involves an IDOC that has not been created yet, the work item merely informs the person about the error.
