Activate Deadline Monitoring for Standard Workflow

Hi Experts,
I want to Activate Deadline Monitoring for Standard SRM Confirmation Approval Workflow. Is there any way I do this without disturbing the standard workflow? Using Alerts?
Also pls advice if I can activate the deadline monitoring directly in the standard template without having it copied to a Z/Y wf template?
Thank you!
Vj

Friends,
I want to set a deadline monitoring for a case when the approver doesnt execute the workitem even after 2days. (so I believe I need to use "Requested Start")?
Further I understand how this is done, my question is can we do change it to the standard template or do I need to copy it and then make the changes.
Also Kindly share some information on using SRM ALERTS for the same functionality to send reminders/alets to approvers on delay of approving task.
Thank you so much.

Workflow Deadline Monitoring for SC in SRM 7.0

Hi,
I have activated the deadline monitoring for WF_APPR_LATEST_START event for 1 hour. But didnt see any notification to the requestor and the approver. So need help here.
Below is the setting that i have done to activate deadline.
1. In Define event > BUS2121 > WF_APPR_LATEST_START:SC
2. Define Event Schema > BUS2121 > Event scema : SC > WF_APPR_LATEST_START:Message (low priority):APPROVAL_DEADL_NOTIFIC_NEW:1.
Thanks In Advance.

Masa thanks for replying..
They are in place.
I checked the Workitems Log for administrator ... and could see the workitem 'Trigger Event: 'WF_LATEST_START'' fired exactly after one hour the SC was created as set in the config... but no notification is sent to Outlook.
Background Job RSWWDHEX is also running every 5min ... But didnt see any notification.

Select the approval Agent for Modeled Deadline Monitoring for WF WS14000133

I have setup a deadline monitoring for WF WS14000133 using the modeled approach and added the "Send Mail" Test along with a Loop so that the the appover will get an email every day after three days of not approving a shopping cart.
I noticed in task "109 Subworkflow n-step over Value" there is a task container element "&APPROVALAGENTS.ACT_AGENT&" which contains the approver. I am tring to put it in a Workflow container element that I created referencing "WFSYST-AGENT". When I try to setup a binding to import the value from the task container to the workflow container I get the following error:
"Data object 'APPROVALAGENTS' is elementary )component 'ACT_AGENT' does not exist)
Does anyone know how to fix this or does anyone know another way I can get the approval agent to the WF container so that I can send the email to them in the "send email" step?
According to SAP this can be done....this is what they say on help.sap.com:
"Actual agent: Element WIActual_Agent in the task container
If you want to transfer the actual agent of a work item (available under the element ID WIActual_Agent in the task container) to the workflow container for further use, you define an appropriate element in the workflow container to contain this information.
You create this element with a reference to the ABAP Dictionary field WFSYST-AGENT."

hi ,
the field actual agent gets will filled once the responsible agent completes / performs an action on it. Hence it is suggested to use some method / rule to get the responsible agent and create one local workflow container variable (table) to fill up the agents instead of manipulating the workflow variables directly.
In this way, you can check if the table of agents and then send accordingly the deadline messages.
Hope this helps.

Deadline monitoring for Shopping Cart

Hi Experts,
I am working on SRM 7.0 process controlled workflows.
Activated the deadline monitoring for shopping cart but I am getting the below error:
Work item 000000073752: Object /SAPSRM/CL_WF_EVENT_ADAPTER method TRIGGER_EVENT cannot be execute
Please help to solve this.
Thanks,
Sangeeta

Hello,
To find the cause you will need to debug:
For testing you can call the method
/SAPSRM/CL_WF_EVENT_ADAPTER -> TRIGGER_EVENT
Take the following parameters from the document wfl log:
IV_DOCUMENT_GUID IV_DOCUMENT_GUID
IV_DOCUMENT_TYPE IV_DOCUMENT_TYPE
IV_EVENT IV_EVENT
IV_EVENT_SUB_CATEGORY
IV_WORKITEM_ID
IV_DOCUMENT_ID
Before to start debugging, set a beark point in CL_BBP_MESSAGE_CREATE -> execute
Here you can find why the alert method is not been able to be executed.
Probably you are passing some wrong parameter.. Do you use Badis BBP_OUTPUT_CHANGE_SF or BBP_ALERT.. try to deactivate these Badis and retest.
Thanks,
Melina

Deadline Monitoring for N-Level Approval Workflow WS14000033

Hi,
We want to setup Deadline Monitoring i.e. emails to be sent to approvers (when Shopping Carts remain unapproved in their Inbox past 2 days or so). Does anyone have any configuration/procedure document on how to do this?
Regards,
Ashwani

Hi Imtiaz,
Thanks for your promp reply. Had already checked this but since I am not a WF expert I do not know how to setup a email reminder to be sent to the current approver. The tutorial in your link has a user defined with a email id. We would like the current Approver holding the approval to be sent a reminder email. Any suggestion on how to do this.
Thanks,
Ashwani

Possible loop deadline monitoring for a period of time?

Hi All,
Here is our scenario.. We have a task sent to the managers inbox with deadline monitoring on it. If the manager does not action this task, we set this task to obsolete and then we want to send a reminder email every day until the manager performs the required action.
So the problem.. originally this email was to be a task but the loop would not work with the task as it's waiting on action from the user. We changed this task to an email and it looped as expected however the only way I could think to put a wait for a period of time before another email is sent is by actually counting down the time in a method.
However, the problem with this is that wf-batch is locking the worklfow so it can never complete, even if the event to complete the workflow is triggered. wf-batch has it locked so the workflow can never complete, so it loops infinitely.
So my question.. is it possible to repeatedly send notifications to a manager at specifically defined time intervals without locking the workflow?
Below is how the workflow currently looks:
Any guidance on this would be most gratefully received!
Thanks in advance,
Liz.

Hi Liz
in your wait step, do not count down the time.
Instead keep the method as a dummy method with no code.
In the wait step, use the deadline monitoring - Requested Start - set it to current date + 1 day
The step will start 1 day after 'today' , execute nothing in Dummy method and then go on to the mail step
I am sure that the deadline monitoring job is running because "Latest End" of the first task is executed in your system. So the same job will take care of Requested Start of the wait step.

Requested End Deadline monitoring for Background Activity Step

Hi All,
Workflow for MSS Position change has been implemented in the system.
When a request was created thru Portal the Workflow was triggered but it got stuck.
I found that in a background activity step there is a requested end deadline monitoring which was reached.
Since it is a background activity there is no agent assigned, then what could be the reason that the deadline was reached ?
Can anyone tell me when is the Requested End deadline triggered ?
Regards,
Radhika.

Hello,
Yes, if it's workitem creation time + 1 minute then it means the deadline (any deadline - Latest End, Requested End, Requested Start etc, they're all the same, they just have different names) gets triggered.
What happens next depends on how that deadline has been defined - it may just send a message to someone and do nothing else (ie it leaves the background process running). Or it may be a modeled deadline set up to end the process. Have a look in the Requested End tab to see what it does.

Deadline Monitoring for Maintenance Plans

Hi there,
i want to execute the deadline monitoring (IP30) for a maintenance plan in
a function module. Unfortunately I couldn't find a function module for this
purpose.
So I tried to execute RISTRA20 (program connected to IP30) with the
following statement:
SUBMIT ristra20
USING SELECTION-SCREEN '1000'
WITH SELECTION-TABLE rspar_tab
AND RETURN.
Problem with this call is that some dialogue-dynpros are shown - I want the deadline monitoring completely in the background.
Any ideas? Thx in advance..
Regards,
Markus

we have found similar problems in many PM jobs; in some cases there are some Notes pointing to the issue ( and fixing them, too ) ; for this case check Note 984177 and related.

External Monitor for HD workflow in Premiere Pro 5.5 Windows

I´m looking in the Adobe forums for information about previewing HD video from Premiere to an external monitor, and the only options I´ve found is either connect the camera or use SD via 1394.
Some years ago I used to have a Matrox card RT.X2 with breakout box that had a 1440x1080 output with limitations, and then changed to Nvidia Quadro in CS5, much better performance with CUDA, but I lost the possibility of seeing the content of the program monitor in the external Monitor.
I guess there must be somebody selling cards for this purpose, I´ve seen comments (AJA, Matrox, etc) but there all seem to have lots of problems, so I´d like to know if anybody has succeded in joining Quadro 4000 to another piece of hardware that works on Windows
Thanks

If you have one monitor for editing, then you can use the second monitor connection on your video card to steer the second monitor.
If you use a dual monitor setup and need previews on a third monitor, you can use one of the following options:
1. A second video card that uses the same driver as your primary video card.
2. A third party option like Black Magic Intensity or Matrox, but usually their drivers cause some problems.
3. Limit yourself to SD quality and feed the third monitor over firewire.
4. Forget about hardware MPE and use an ATI Eyefinity card.
nVidia cards may have three connectors at the back, but ONLY two can be active at the same time. From that perspective option 1 is the least troublesome.

Thanks and Regards,
Arpita

Deadline data tab in workflow

Hello Everyone,
i have doubt in deadline monitoring.can anyone of you tell me please what is the use of deadline data tab situated before outcome tab in test workflow window?

Yes you are right but, I assume this might be the reaosn as follows.
1. IN the testing envorinment let us assume that already the workflow template is developed and you hvae not defined any deadline monitoring for the workflow tempalet or the task for which you are testing from the txn SWUS then at that directly before the execution time you can specify for testing purpose whetehr the deadline monitoring is work fine or not.
If you execute a Workflow template then the deadline tab data belongs to WRofklow template. if you try to execute a task from the txn SWUS then what ever the data that you mention in this tab then it belongs to only tha TAsk TS

WS14000133 Deadline Monitoring / Escalation

Hi all,
The requirement is to set up deadline monitoring for WS14000133 (n-step Workflow with BADI) as follows: if the approval is not actioned within x days, escalate the work item to another approver (at a
higher level).
My questions:
1. Is adding the deadline monitoring per above to WS14000133 considered a system modification? If yes, is there a potential upgrade/patch impact?
2. Has anyone tried copying WS14000133 into a custom workflow? If yes, does SRM still call BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI from the custom copy, and is SRM behaving properly overall?
3. Has anyone tried writing a custom ABAP report to monitor late work items, instead of using embedded Workflow deadline monitoring feature?
4. What has worked for you when implementing deadline monitoring for BADI Workflows in SRM?
Cheers,
Serguei

Hi
I did not work on this deadline monitoring but you can achieve it in wf14000133 .
about deadline monitoring(in workflow)
In workflow builder STEP TYPE as
then click ACTIVITY and select the appropriate step ( 000109) and go to Latest end REFER DATE TIME WORKITEM CREATION. 24 HOURS and etc.
and you can monitor via SWI2_DEAD

Deadline monitoring & extended email without customizing a new workflow?

Hi,
I have a Position setup in Partner Profile - Post Processing:Permitted agent, to be notify if processing errors occur on the inbound idoc interface.
My questions are:
1. Besides receiving work item in SAP inbox for the idoc fallout, is there any way to send extended notification Outlook email to the users in that position when processing error occured?
2. How can i setup a deadline monitoring for the work item triggered only by these specific idoc message variant? In SWWA, it does not narrow down by workitem, permitted agent,partner profile etc.
3. If #2 can be fulfill, is it possible for me to trigger a new work item to another user/position? An escalation to next level after due date.
I know this can be done through customizing a workflow, but in my situation, i need to search for a solution in a standard existing SAP way without creating any new workflow, program or object.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Regards
Eunice

Huwi,
1# You can send the external notification using Send mail step in the standard workflow it self. I suppose, You can add new steps in Standard Workflow also. Use Send mail step and chose recipient type as "Email Address'. Pass the email Address and it will sent out to MS outlook inbox if all the SCOt Configurations are done.
2# You can activate the deadline monitoring on any activity by
double click on the activity
goto tab Latest End
Select the relevent options
3# For excalation you can set the deadline out come as a "Modeled" outcome. It would provide you an extra wing in your approval task and in that extra wing you can create your own task putting agent as manager's manager.
Hope it helps!

Vikash

Deadline monitoring/Escalation - Purchase Requisition Workflow WS20000077

Dear Friends,
I have read some stuff on SDN but still couldnt figure out the soultion.
Its a common problem. We have set a release strategy in Purchase Requisition and are using std workflow WS20000077.
Now the requirement is that if an approver doesnt approve in 2 days time then the PR will automatically go to the next approver for release.
I have set the deadline monitoring using the workflow wizard for model deadline monitoring. With this, The work item gets deleted from the approvers inbox. Next in the obsolete path I have set a process control which specifies the worklow step as the step in which deadline monitoring was specified.
When I check in SWI1, the work item is set as obsolete but it doesnt go to the next approver for approval.
Your replies will be highly apprecialted.
Thanks & Regards,
Fawaz

Hi
For your Requirment :
"the requirement is that if an approver doesnt approve in 2 days time then the PR will automatically go to the next approver for release."
Please follow the below steps.in copy of WS20000077.
1.For taskTS20000159:Overall release of requisition , go to
Latest END tab: put ACtion as :Modeled , Refer.date/time:Workitem creation , below time : choses: DAY, and on left add 2.
Outcome :Deadline Montoring.
2.Then come to OUTcomes tab of the same task: see there are 3 lines 1.Step executed, 2.Latest end:Deadline Montoring, 3.Processing obsolete:Processing obsolete ,, all are ACTIVE or not , if not, Activate .then all should be Green.
4.next in the OUtcome :Deadline Montoring , use a process control step. to Set missed workitem to obsolete, in Function: chose : set Work item to Obsolute. and Workflow Step : chose then step no for the above task(TS20000159:Overall release of requisition).
5.In "Processing obsolete" path, again call the same task TS20000159. in different activity . and see to the agent assignment.
I think this will slove your problem.
How it works:
1st the PR is send in a WI to the perticular agent by the 1st activity . if the agent do not execute for 2 days. then that WI will set to obsolute . and process flow to" Processing obsolete" path, then agian PR is send to the next agent using the same task but activity created in step 5.
thanks
Kakoli.
