2 more workflow-substitution questions

hi again,
i have 2 more questions about substitution of workflow:
HOW does a user know that he has adopted substitution. i mean when he do it he knows it. but there is no information that he the adopted status is 'ON' ? am i right ? when he ends the adoption there is NO message if there even was an adoptation.
thats kind of user-unfriendly. the only way that he knows that he has adopted is when he gets mails from the workflows.
2nd question: when i have to choose adoptation substitution i always get 2 entrys for the same person to select. thats confusing. it looks to me that 1 of it is the sap-USER, the other is the PERSON in HR backend. why is this and how to avoid that ?
reg, Martin

Martin,
thats kind of 'stupid', isn't it ?
i activate to substitute somebody (who is unplaned away, e.g. illness).
so far so good: i select the person with click on the checkbox !
when leaving this transaction and enter it again the checkboxes are AWAY. why ? but the substitution is of course activ.
and when i 'end' the substitution there is NO MESSAGE. it's always the same........no comment, NOTHING. it does'nt matter if subst. is ON or OFF, the function for ending subst. has
no output ! thats sap in it's best -> user unfriendly !
am i wrong ?
best regards, Martin

  • OA Framework Extension / Substitution question

    OA Framework Extension / Substitution question:
    I am not sure how to do the following, any input will be helpful. Thanks in advance.
    Oracle Application has a page on table “FND_NEW_MESSAGES” – Related Entity object is “FndNewMessagesEO” and View object is “FndMessagesResultSetVO”. Primary key on this table is “APPLICATION_ID, MESSAGE_NAME and LANGUAGE_CODE”. I want to extend this page and add my own table say “CUST_FND_NEW_MSG_EXT” with the same primary key and has an extended column “EXTRA_MESG1”.
    How do I extend this page to include my new table / column and make select/update/insert work?
    Questions:
    1.     Should I create EO for my new table say CustExtEO
    2.     Create an association between FndNewMessageEO and CustExtEO
    3.     Then create CustExtVO and extend FNDMessagesResultSetVO and build view on FndNewMessageEO and CustExtEO and then perform substitution?
    Or
    1.     Should I create EO for my new table say CustExtEO
    2.     Create CustExtVO
    3.     Create an View Link between FndNewMessageVO and CustExtVO
    4.     Then what??
    More questions:
    1.     Can I achieve this by not writing any code?
    2.     Can the EO Association or View Link automatically insert / update my new table after I do the substitution?
    3.     FndNewMessageVO has join to tables “FND_NEW_MESSAGES, FND_APPLICATION_VL, FND_LANGUAGES_VL, FND_LOOKUPS” – when you do an insert / update how does OA Framework know that it has to insert / update the corresponding tables?

    Well, if you want to have the page based on your custom table, then you will have to create new VO, EO. You cann't use extension in that case.
    1. Can I achieve this by not writing any code?No.
    .2. Can the EO Association or View Link automatically insert / update my new table after I do the substitution?You need to have new EO, VO based on your new table.
    3. FndNewMessageVO has join to tables “FND_NEW_MESSAGES, FND_APPLICATION_VL, FND_LANGUAGES_VL, FND_LOOKUPS” – when you do an insert / update how does OA Framework know that it has to insert / update the corresponding tables?
    EO handles all the insert, update.
    For more details go through the Dev guide.

    Hi Viswes,
    Through customize u can achieve ur requirement..
    Create two Quickpoll with different campaign name and start ongoing..
    Next create  iview for each quickpoll by using KM QuickPoll iView Template  enter the corresponding campaign name for the quickpoll iview.
    Next create one JspDynPage component in NWDS
    In that JSP file
    <iframe  src="Give the preview path of Quickpoll iView 1" align="left" >
    </iframe>
    <iframe  src="Give the preview path of Quickpoll iView2 " align="left" >
    </iframe>
    Now u create one iview for that JspDynPage component
    in that two Quickpoll question will display in one iView..
    Points are welcome if its helpful

  • Workflow design questions: FM vs WF to call FM

    Hereu2019s a couple of workflow design questions.
    1. We have Workitem 123 that allow user to navigate to a custom transaction TX1. User can make changes in TX1.  At save or at user command of TX1, the program will call a FM (FM1) to delete WI 123 and create a new WI to send to a different agent. 
    Since Workitem 123 is still open and lock, the FM1 cannot delete it immediately, it has to use a DO loop to check if the Workitem 123 is dequeued before performing the WI delete.
    Alternative: instead of calling the FM1, the program can raise an event which calls a new workflow, which has 1 step/task/new method which call the FM1.  Even with this alternative, the Workitem 123 can still be locked when the new workflowu2019s task/method calls the FM1.
    I do not like the alternative, which calls the same FM1 indirectly via a new workflow/step/task/method.
    2. When an application object changes, the user exit will call a FMx which is related to workflow.  The ABAP developer do not want to call the FMx directly, she wants to raise an event which call a workflow .. step .. task .. method .. FMx indirectly.  This way any commit that happens in the FMx will not affect the application objectu2019s COMMIT.
    My recommendation is to call the FMx using u2018in Update tasku2019 so that the FMx is only called after the COMMIT of the application object.
    Any recommendation?
    Amy

    Mike,
    Yes, in my first design, the TX can 1. raise a terminating event for the existing workitem/workflow and then 2. raise another event to call another workflow.   Both 1 and 2 will be in FM1. 
    Then the design question is: Should the FM1 be called from TX directly or should the TX raise an event to call a new workflow which has 1 step/task, which calls a method in the Business object, and the method calls the FM1?
    In my second design question, when an application object changes, the user exit will call a FMx which is related to workflow.  The ABAP developer do not want to call the FMx directly, she wants to raise an event which call a workflow, which has 1 step/task, which calls a method, which calls the FMx indirectly.  This way any commit that happens in the FMx will not affect the application objectu2019s COMMIT.
    My recommendation is either call the FMx using u2018in Update tasku2019 so that the FMx is only called after the COMMIT of the application object or raise an event to call a receiver FM (FMx).
    Thanks.

    Hello ,
    Please consider using a check table for the characteristic involved if you are working with large
    number of values assigned
    With a check table you have a possibility to work with a huge amount of values , also the performance should improve

    I've been using Captivate to create quizzes, and am not experienced with Flash. Now I need to create quizz slides with more than one question per slide, which is a limitation in Captivate. Is it possible to have more than one question on a slide using Flash?

    Hi,
    I think it is possible, but you need to do it manually not through template as far as i know.

  • Forget to do Portal ESS workflow substitution for leaves

    Dear,
    In Portal workflow substitution, ESS not providing any solution if the department head forget to do a substitution in his/her workflow SAP Inbox, the leave will stop at his/her Inbox and there is no way to change it unless asking the employees to delete their submitted leaves and create another one with replacing the current leader.
    is there any solution for this?

  • Workflow Substitution rules - How can I...

    Hello Guru's
    I am relatively new @ workflow and I am implementing some workflow scenario's.
    Two of them: Release Purchase Order & Release Purchase Contract.
    Release Purchase Order:
    Workflow u201CWS2000075u201D -> TS20000166 -> Agent Determination Rule      "Person Resp. for PO Release"
    In the responsibilities tab I have created several Purchase groups:
    - Purchasing Group of 100 to 299
    - Purchasing Group of 300 to 499
    etc...
    I have assigned agent assigment with correct agents. The rule test is doing well !!
    The workflow first looks at the release strategy, then the rule resolution.
    test 1: Release code 20 > PG 100 = Buyer User A untill F.
    test 2: Release code 30 > PG 200 = Lead Buyer A and B.
    test 3: Release code 40 > PG 300 = Purchase Director A.
    My Question:
    But how can I arrange a special substitution for this workflow? Per user you can set the substitution, but that is NOT what I want. What I want is when a PO is created for Lead Buyer of Purchase Group 100 and is pending for release for more then 2 days, it should go to another Lead Buyer of Purchase Group 200 or 300 for release the PO.
    Another one, when the Purchase Manager for Group A has some workitems, after 2 days they should go to another Purchase Manager, e.g. Purchase Manager for Group D. Is there a possibility to arrange that?
    Thanks for you answers!

    Hi,
      You can acheive your requirement using deadline. substitution is nto required.
    1)Specify the 2days time in the latest end tab
    2) select the modelled deadline in the options below.
    3) in outcomes tab, activate the processing obsolete line
    4) now u can c 3 lines from the task for release
         1) normal flow whn executed
         2) Will check the deadline. Once it is reached it will progress with the steps in processing obsolete branch.
         3) Processing obsolete branch. In this  branch,
               a) place the 'PRocess Control' step to remove the workitem from the preovious user
               b) Include the workitem step to send it to the next person who shld release the PO.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Stabalizing - Within the workflow (procedural question)

    Hi,
    As mentioned before, we are shooting miniature models for our project. Some of the models are attached to rigs that will allow them to move up/down, left/right, or rotate 180degrees on one axis. We have several choices of points where we attach the models to the rigs, and that allows us to get the shots we want. Out camera is on a tripod, that is attached to a dolly. We rarely use the zoom functions, but rather dolly in and out.
    Some of the rigs require more work, and the footage we have from them leave a lot to be desired - while we work on them, I am using the footage to practice some techniques - in this question, it is stabalization. The rig in question is a pole, that slides purely up and down with the model attached to the top - imagine a helicopter landing scenario. The model starts high, and is brought gradually down. The problem is, that the rig was not very smooth during the first use, and there is quite a lot of juddering on the model itself. it wobbles as it descends. The camera also moved away from the model during the shot.
    I would love to stabalize the model, not the camera movement - what is my best workflow:
    1) Key wobbly footage, then warp stabalize?
    2) Stabalize full shot, then key
    3) process shot (from keying, all the way to composite), then stabalize output.
    Am I correct in saying that warp stabalizer would be my best bet to stabalize talen motion?
    Pierre

    Hi,
    I just finished a test I had set up, and to me, it seems that this is quite a good solution (but is it the most efficient?)
    1) Import footage
    2) Key footage (in my case, using the GMatte/Cmatte/Ematte techniqur to get a beautiful thinn edge to work on)
    3) Stabalizing one of the above precomps with warp stabalizer
    4) Copying and pasting the result onto the other two
    This seemed to smooth out the wobbles nicely, although the movement is still detectable. I am not sure that warp stabalizer IS the best tool to remove talent wobbles!

  • WorkFlow Substitution

    Dear all,
    I have a question regarding the Substitution with work flow.  Pleaes help !! Many thanks in advance!!
    The scenario is as follow: 
    *Approver 2 is Approver 1's subsititue; Workflow will trigger an email notification to the approver(s) once there is a PR waiting for approval
    Steps to replicate during substitutions:
    1) PR creator creates the PR and saved
    2) Work item sent to both Approver 1 and 2
    3) Email notification (Inbox --> Document) only send to Approver 1 only but not forwarded to Approver 2.
    Is is possible to use the substitution to forward both the work item and email notification to the substitute??
    If yes, and How ??
    Many many thanks!!
    Cheers,
    Dragon

    Goto Approvers  SAP Inbox and follow the following steps
    1. On Menu Click SETTINGS->WorkFlow Settings-> Maintian Substitute---> (Approver2)
    2. Now add the user  as subsitute and mark it as Active
    3. Now you Adopt this Substitute  (Approver2)
    Note : In the above steps we need to give the days that howe many days the substitute is valid so that he can view all the workitems and mails as the Approver1.

  • BADI Workflow substitution - restrictions customization

    Hello Friends,
    I am currently working on a workflow approval migration Project  on SAP ECC 6.0
    I am trying to customize substitution process.
    > I need to enforce end validity date while users are assigning substitutes.
    > Based on activity groups/roles , I need to restrict substitution assignment.
    End users would use : SBWP
    and IT team would use RH_SUBSTITUTES_LIST program to maintain substitutes.
    please suggest how this can be acheived .
    Does a BADI  implementation related to : WF_SUBSTITUTE  would work ?
    Or is there a BADI more appropriate for RH_SUBSTITUTES_LIST ?
    thanks for your inputs.

  • Xml workflow/layout question - urgent

    Hi,
    I'm new to the XML scene and have made progress but have the following question.
    I have a .xls file that I open in Oxygen (xml editor) and save out a .xml file.
    I then import the .xml file into InDesign CS5.
    I have tagged the text placeholders and the image placeholders with the appropriate tags (not shown in this screen grab).
    I'd like to automatically flow the text data (A-E, J-O) into a text box (on the right side of image), then flow the images (E-I) into the picture boxes on the left side of the page. There is a large amount of data (InDesign pages) so it is important that  I configure this so that all of the content flows automatically  thoughout the InDesign file.
    Do the images need to be treated as anchored objects in a text box or is it possible to flow them into picture boxes?
    I can manually drag the "product_image" files to the picture boxes but I have yet to figure out how to automatically flow these images into the layout, aside from within the same text box as the rest of the text. Instead of using the anchored object approach, it seems it would be more efficient to flow into picture boxes if possible.
    Also, any feedback on how to get this data to flow automically thoughout the InDesign file would be really helpful.
    Thanks so much.
    Josh

    Hi,
    It is possibly to flow the images into picture boxes without treating them as anchored objects.Appropriately tagging the placeholders for graphics and text and then importing the XML file would allow the data (both text and images) to flow automatically into the respective tagged frames.

  • Workflow condition question

    Whenever a new opportunity is being added, If the ExternalSystemId field is blank then go ahead and fire off the workflow action. If it's NOT blank then do not fire off the workflow
    In the workflow condition, I have this
    len(Field_Value('<ExternalSystemId>')) = 0 OR len(Field_Value('<ExternalSystemId>')) IS NULL
    but it still fires off the workflow even though the external system id field has something in it.
    Do you have any idea?
    Thanks

    If I understand your question, you would need to write your default expression in the field definition (read the Default value and post default behavior). There are no workflow triggers for create (new Opportunity).

Maybe you are looking for
