Workflow question:  workflow should not start

Hi,
I have a question about a workflow.
Function module YTE_CHECK_WF_START starts a workflow for the approval of travel expenses.
In table "yte_start_wf", we have defined a list of users for which the workflow should not start.
Nevertheless, the workflow starts for a user who appears on the list. He gets e-mails in his Inbox, which should not happen.
What can be the reason?
Does anyone have an idea?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Linda

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I am not familiar with workflow.
1) Where can I find the agents/possible agent list?
2) Where can I exclude the user in the task?
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Linda

  • Workflow Agent listeners do not start

    The case is reproducible on Windows 2003 and Windows XP box
    Installation sequence:
    1) RDBMS Server 10.2.0.1
    2) Patchset 1 - 10.2.0.2
    3) database created
    4) Standalone Workflow 2.6.4 Server installed from 10g R2 Companion CD
    5) Configuration with WF Conf.Assistant performed
    6) WF Middle-tier installed in separate home
    7) Middle-tier application is operational at http://hostname:7778/pls/wf/wfa_html.home
    Workflow manager does not find any components under IE 6/7, but does in Firefox. None of the listeners is started.
    When starting or stopping Any/All Agent listeners, a message (e.g. "Action Stop has been performed on Workflow Deferred Agent Listener.") is shown. After returning to components list, the listeners remain in "Starting" or "Stopping" status. Workflow operations are not working.
    Re-applying 10.2.0.2 patchset or 10.2.0.3 Patchset to Oracle Home where RDBMS installed did not solve the problem. First applying 10.2.0.3 patchset after installation of database and WF servers and then configuration of WF server did not solve the problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • CRS should not Starts at SYSTEM Boot

    Hi Experts,
    i have two node RAC. actulayy when i need to reboot my server then i need to stop services and clusterware manullay but when system is restarted/rebooted all CRS services and nodesapp started. so dun want these services starts when system rebooted automatically i want i start all manullay..so please tell me how i can achive this
    my clusterware 10.2.0.4
    db 10.2.0.4
    and O/S is AIX6.1 64bit
    regards,

    It is a simple matter to force manual restart. Look in the docs for 10.2 and find the name of the script used to configure autorestart ... it will be owned by root ... and make the appropriate changes.
    Could I tell you the name? Yep. Will I? No. And the reason is not to be cruel but rather you need to read these docs and understand the script before you do what you are contemplating.
    Remember the entire point of RAC is high availability. What you are suggesting you want to do turns high availability into high availability ONLY if a qualified Oracle DBA happens to be available. I presume you never get sick, never take day off, never take a holiday, and will never quit. If my assumptions are incorrect ... you might want to reconsider your plans.

  • Worfklow Task stuck on "Not Started"

    I have a workflow with a "Start Approval Process" action.  I have a couple of tasks on different list items, that are stuck on "Not Started" (and have been for a month) and therefore the workflow cannot progress. 
    Is there a way to push the task workflow to start?  I am not able to manually start it from the task list.  Also, I would in other situations just cancel the workflow and start again but I due to governance, I am unsure if I can do that in this
    instance.

    Hi Kelsnz,
    From your post, my understanding is that the status of the task created by the workflow is stuck in Not Started.
    If I misunderstood, please feel free to correct me.
    Per my test, the tasks created by the Start Approval Process action in the workflow are all showing Not Started as the beginning status.
    If the assignee opens the task assigned to him/her, he can complete the task by approving or rejecting it.
    And the workflow will pause at this step until all the tasks have been completed.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • Laptop not starting up but rather blinking

    My laptop just blinking. Nothing responding. All happened suddenly. I unplugged AC power removed the battery and pressed the on bottom for 30 s and then on but the problem was the same. My windows was 10 upgraded while this problem happened hoped this problem would be terminated.
    I was trying to turn 3d max on when this problem started. I doubled click on the software icon and waited to start and this small circle started to turn but suddenly blinking started and icons disappeared. Since then, only blinking and I realised that the internet went off as well
    Need help please to sort this problem

  • 2013 workflow does not start on item created by a different worklow

    hi :)
    i have spd created reusable workflow 2010 on a list A creating an item in a list B.
    on that list - B - there is a 2013 spd reusable workflow which is supposed to start on item created but does not.
    the workflow does start manually.
    and it does start when I create an item manually.
    if i check a 2010 wf on the same scenario - it starts o.k.
    the item "created by" is the user who triggered the workflow - not the system account.
    anyone??
    thanks !

    The first thing I'd ask is if the workflow on list b is set to trigger when a new item is created.  If this has been set correctly, I'd try running the step within Workflow A which creates the list items under an impersonation step.  This subs
    in the account details of the workflow author and as such should trigger workflow b.

  • Sharepoint Designer - Two step List Workflow task item is not changing the status from not started to Complete

    Hi 
    Using SPD i am creating list workflow.
    Scenario: Employee submits a request . Task assign to manager. Manager can either approve/ reject. If approve then change the state column to "done". If rejected the state column to "Rejected".
    Problem is "Assign a to do item" is assigning the task to manager. But after manager approves the status in the task list not changed to "Completed". Still it is showing "Not started". I dont want to manually complete the task.
    Please help me for automatic process. 
    What i should do to change the status to "Complete" automatically after manager approval
    Regards
    Jhanani
    Janani.R

    Hi Janani,
    From your description, you would like to create an approval workflow for a list. When an employee submit a request to the list, an approval task should be assigned to manager, then manager could approve or reject the request. From the request list,
    we should be able to see the Approval task’s status.
    Not understand the reason of designing the workflow to two steps, an approval action should be enough from my understanding. For producing, I create a list named Request list, then customize it in InfoPath form to add a Request field for stating request
    content. Then add a workflow to list named Approval task, add the action of Start an approval process with administrator and make the workflow automatically start when item is added.
    The image below shows the status of Adding items, Approving and Rejecting. Please check if it could meet your requirement.

  • Workflow does not start automatically on create item (yet another time)

    The topic has been discussed broadly throughout different forums, but I didn't find the solution to my issue yet and hope you can help me out with ideas to sidestep the difficulties created by Microsoft.
    I have one list 1 in Site Collection A, and one list 2 in Site Collection B (PWA site collection). I need to copy an item from list 1 to list 2 with some values. I use a "Call http web service" action to accomplish
    that as I need to copy informatin cross site collections.
    The "Call webservice" is in an App Step, because the user creating an item in list 1 does not have permissions on list 2. Thus, my item is created "by workflow" (not "by System Account") in list 2. Now I need a second
    workflow to start on list 2 which will create a project in Project Server.
    As I am working across 2 site collections, I can not use a SharePoint 2010 workflow with impersonation step for list 1 as the "Call a webservice" action is not available for SP2010 workflows and "Copy item" only works in the same site.
    In Nintex I can impersonate the web service call - is this also somehow possible for SPD2013 workflows? Or is there any other possibility to get over this silly restriction of workflows not starting automatically on System account created items? Someway
    perhaps to tweak the App Step in impersonating with another user account?
    Any help appreciated!
    I really can't understand, that this common requirement is still not solved by Microsoft :-(  I found more threads on the topic than I can count, so this seems to happen quite often... at least they should finally offer a proper way of doing some kind
    of impersonation with the calls so we have a chance to change the creating user account.

    Hi,
    As I understand, you would like to use workflow to copy list items cross site collection.
    So far it is not supported with OOB workflow option, here is an codeplex workaround:
    https://spdactivities.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Copy%20List%20Item%20Extended%20Activity

  • SPD Workflow will not start automatically for the first entry in a list on any given day (subsequent entries start just fine)

    Hi. I have various workflows on various lists that share a common issue. The first entry of the day on that list will not start the workflow automatically.   We have SharePoint 2013 Foundation. This same issue occurred when we had SharePoint 2010
    as well. Interestingly, I had read about a 'fix' by adding a 5 minute pause at the start of every workflow which worked fine for a while. Now I happened to find that this is no longer working (after I see a bunch of workflows that didn't fire over the past
    month - ugh!).
    I know I'm not the only one with this issue as I ran across others with the issue when I first researched it and found the 'pause fix' a year or so ago and I also talked with someone else during a SP seminar who used this same fix.  NOTE:  These
    are end users creating the items.  It is not logged as a system account.
    Any help would be appreciated.  I have a SharePoint developer I can hire if this is beyond my ability to fix.  I just need some guidance (last time I inquired they weren't aware of this issue). 

    Can you also advise if these are complicated workflows or high traffic lists?

  • Workflow 2013 does not start automatically but 2010 yes

    Hello everyone,
    I'm facing to a strange issue on my SharePoint 2013 server:
    A workflow creates an item in an other list.
    This list has two workflows created by Designer 2013, one 2010, the other in 2013. The two are configured with the "Start when item created".When the item is created, 2010 starts but not the 2013.
    I'm not using the system account and I have two workflows to understand why the 2013 is not started automatically.

  • Absence request workflow does not start

    Hello, I have created a workflow for absence request and I configured it in transaction PTARQ for my absence type.
    I tried several times making an absence request from portal but the workflow does not start. I have also seen in transaction PTARQ that the request was really made and has status SENT but has no workflow associated.
    Any help?
    Thanks

    Hi Mário,
    Check using transaction SWIA to see if the workflow is actually started by the leave creation (if not could be a problem with the event trigger)? If it is started, you should see in SWIA where the workflow stops/breaks down, normally this is due to missing container elements or bindings.
    Good luck!

  • Workflow could not start in HCM process and Forms

    Hi All
    It would be really helpful if you can suggest possible solution regarding case management case in HCM forms and process.
    I have set up a simple custom HCM process and Form regarding Infotype 2 updation. I have checked the process and form consistency and it seems fine.

    Hi Swati
    One of the similar (not exact) issues were resolved by correcting the event linkage....please refer thread:
    http://scn.sap.com/message/14848795#14848795
    Not sure of the details of the the resolution, maybe Ragavendran Kanagaraj can throw more light.
    Just some high level checks (if not done already):
    Check event linkage errors in SWEQADM if anything is related to your WF
    Check in SWEL if it's showing any more details (not sure if it will)
    Any warnings in syntax check of WF template (PFTC) or WF definition (SWDD)
    Any error sin binding
    regards,
