Activity to enter task and start Workflow

Dear all,
I have copied template function "QM10_COPY_REFERENCE_FORM_TASK" to my customer namespace. Like in the FM documentation specified I changed the coding to this:
*- If you want to start a workflow task, you have to fill the container.
*- The following sample coding shows you what to do.
*- The lines beginning with *& represent the real coding, while
*- the other lines are commentary lines only.
*- For further information, refer to the function module documentation.
*---- include <cntn01>
    include <cntn01>.
*---- Data declaration
    swc_container my_container.
*---- Data initialisation
    swc_create_container my_container.
*---- Write the element to the container (The element names are used in
*---- the workflow E.g. 'QNOTIFICATION')
*---- 'element' represents the element name; 'value' represents
*---- the value of this element.
*---- If the element represents a table value, then the 'value'
*---- must also be a table.
*&    swc_set_element my_container 'element' 'value'.
    swc_set_element my_container 'NOTIFICATION' i_manum.
*---- Write the element to the container
*&    swc_set_table my_container '_Wi_Group_ID' i_manum.
*---- move my_container to te_container
    loop at my_container.
      append my_container to te_container.
    endloop.
In customizing I have entered the FM and as Workflow Task I entered "Workflow Template WS00200063 (QM ComplTask)". After pressing the activity in notification a task is entered. But after saving the notification a dump occurs (CALL_FUNCTION_REMOTE_ERROR, "Unable to create work item container (CL_SWF_RUN_WIM_FLOW->_IMPORT_CONTAINER)").
Has anybody an Idea what is wrong.
The only thing I want to archive is to start a workflow for a user when entering a task from activity.
If I enter the task manually (without activity FM) the workflow is starting right.
Thanks for any help.
Best regards
Roman

Are there no ideas? Is there nobody with a similar configuration that works?

Which tools best for which tasks and project workflow planning?

I am just getting comfortable with the basics of several CS tools and often need to use more than one to build a final product. Since I don't have a long history with the tools I still struggle learning which tool to use for specific tasks and then how best to use the variety of created assets in the various programs.
Currently using CS4 After Effects, Flash, and Photoshop to create web flash swf files. Most books, forums, tutorials, etc. focus on a given tool and how to use its features. I have looked but not found books that take you through a project start to end that spans several tools and using the best parts of each to accomplish pieces of the finished project.
Also, I find getting assets from one tool to the next does not always work out so well. For example, a text layer in AE can be exported a couple ways but by the time it gets into Flash it no longer retains the original text layer and is either rasterized or broekn up. So that is where better understanding workflow, if that is the right term, might help me ensure I use the right tool at the right time in the right order to minimize these kinds of problems.

The guys from Waterloo labs did something similar: http://goo.gl/JkOy
They used a sbRIO, which is very similar to myRIO and you should have no problem doing this with myRIO. More info on their setup can be found here: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/11966/en/. You may even be able to re-use some of their code.

Send Task and Receive Task

In our beta test, we came upon several issues, one of them is when we create a BPMN process that consists of the following simple flow: Start -> User Task 1 -> Send Task -> User Task 2 -> Receive Task -> User Task 3 -> End
When we deploy and run the flow, it always stops at the Receive Task. But when we remove User Task 2 from the flow and redeploy and run, the process runs fine all the way to the end. I am wondering if this is a bug in BPM 11g where if you put an activity between Send Task and Receive Task, it does not work, but when you do not have a task between Send Task and Receive Task, it works fine. Can someone confirm this scenario please?
Within the Send Task and Receive Task, we are invoking a BPEL process that has a simple asynchronous service. The Send Task invokes the BPEL process, and the Receive Task has the callback to the BPEL process.
Makes sense?
Thanks.

What does the bpel process do? Does it work with a synchronous bpel process?
I think you should submit an SR for this since it works when there is no activity between the send/receive.

Task execution start and Instance entered the activity

In the Audit Trail of the Workspace, how to set the instance to Task execution start or Instance entered the activity?

I know the problem. One instance does not finish the commit method

Intermittently, when I try to enter the internet through Safari, it freezes up and won't fully load in the internet. If I turn the iMac off and start it again, it seems fine. I have had my internet provider check everything from their end.

Intermittently, when I try to enter the internet through Safari on my Imac, it freezes up so that the loading line only goes 1/3 way across and then stops. If I shut down the computer and then restart, it usually loads fine. I have had my internet provider check eveything form their end and it is fine. I suspect that I have a software conflict. My provider and others have said that I should use FireFox because Safari is not that stable. I am running OSX Maverick on my system. This was a recent download. Is anyone else having this problem and have you any ideas how I can correct it.

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help to identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the state of the system that may be pertinent.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: You copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, proceed anyway.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script. It does nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The script will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but it's really a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately, leaving the Terminal window empty. If that doesn't happen, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter your password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important.
The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again.
Please note:
☞ This procedure is all copy-and-paste — type only your login password when prompted. When typing it, you won't see what you're typing. Make sure caps lock is off.
☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard when you see "[Process completed]" in the Terminal window.
☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.

How to use Start Task Group for Workflow Interface

Hi all,
anyone who can tell me how to use the Interface IFWFTSKGRP (Start Task Group for Workflow Interface)?
As far as I understood the documentation it can be used to restrict the selection of workflows that can be started in the Generic Object Services. But the question is how to implement it.
Best regards,
Carsten
Edited by: Carsten Drewes on Jun 10, 2009 10:30 AM

Hi, Carsten,
(probably it's a bit too late to post an answer after 3 years , but I'll post it in case someone else needs it)
You should implement GetTaskGroup method.
The code should return id of the task group (otype TG, mantained in PFTC) that holds the list of workflow definitions.
Here is a sample implementation. It's taken from FORMABSENC business object. It belongs to SAP demo workflow "Notification of Absence". I suppose it should be present in most systems and you can see it in action.
begin_method gettaskgroup changing container.
DATA: taskgroup LIKE rhobjects-object.
*- set task group
taskgroup = 'TG70000023'.
*- set result
swc_set_element container result taskgroup.
end_method.

Difference between Due Date for All Tasks and Duration per task in an approval workflow

Hello,
I'm starting to read up and learn about approval workflows in Designer 2010. I am confused by the fields "Due Date for all Tasks" and the "Duration per task". I understand that the Due date for all Tasks is the date that all
of the tasks in the workflow must be completed by. And I understand that the duration means each task has x number of days to complete.
But I dont know whey we need them both. If I have the task duration set to two days and there are 3 tasks involved, then wouldn't the due date be 6 days from the start? Why would I have a due date for all tasks that is completely different than
the sum of the duration of days for each task?
Please help shed some light!

Hi Michelle,
Due date for all tasks, this setting specifies the date by which all tasks are due. It’s used for serial and parallel
task.
Duration per tasks, this setting specifies the date by which an individual
task is due, it’s used for serial workflow participants.
Note, when you create an approval workflow, select task process participants(approvers oob approval workflow), we can also
select once at a time(serial) or all at once(parallel).

Start Workflow when Upload File using drag and drop

Hi,
I am working with SharePoint 2013.
I have a workflow needed to be started and run only once after a document is uploaded into the document library. The document library has
required custom columns with default values. If I set workflow starting option as 'On Created', when user got redirected to the edit form and click 'Save', there would be error as
"The <filename> has been modified by <user> on <datetime>". Besides the unwanted error dialog, the metadata entered by users are not reflected. I understand the issue is because the workflow had already started before
the edit form showed and it modified the file.
So I changed the starting option to 'On Changed", created an additional column to record if the workflow has been run or not to avoid running the whole workflow more than once. This works fine for normal upload. However on drag and drop, the
event 'On Changed' is not triggered and the workflow is not started. I checked the version of the file but in both normal upload and drag and drop, there is another version after the first version. But
only the version of normal upload triggers the workflow.
I read an article about some Mode = Upload on the edit form.
https://go4answers.webhost4life.com/Example/workflow-triggered-during-upload-user-149297.aspx
It seems that the Mode = Upload is not there anymore for normal upload, but it's still there for drag and drop. Not sure about this
Is there a solution for my case. Basically I want to start the workflow only once when the document is uploaded normally or via drag and drop. For normal upload, user can
edit the custom metadata right after they browse the file. For drag and drop, the
metadata will be set as default values.
Thank you.

I'm still researching your issue, but as an interesting note... This is an issue only when I use a 2013 style workflow. I do not get the error when using a 2010 style workflow.

How to reuse standard Activity subcomponents - Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails within a custom work center?

Requirement : We have a requirement to reuse the standard Activity subcomponents Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails within a custom work centre. The requirement is to leverage and copy all sub functionalities Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails available within the standard activity work center. This feature is available within Accounts, Opportunities, Leads etc. (Refer screenshot: Std_Act_Screen.jpg)
We are unable to consume/embed the standard Activity (Work center) sub components Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails within the custom work center. This is because of backend consistency check violation UI designer error message displayed. (Refer screenshot:Error while consuming standard activities.jpg)
Ø Open Question:
a. Is there a limitation to consume/embed the standard Activity (Work center) subcomponents Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails within a custom work center? We have noticed that this standard Activity Work center subcomponents Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails has been repeatedly reused within the application in Account, Opportunity, Sales lead, Lead, Sales Quote Objects.
b. Is there an alternative way in which we can call [Through API etc..] the standard Activity Work center subcomponents Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails?
We need your guidance to overcome the error to enable the reuse of the standard Activity Work center sub-components Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails within our custom work center or suggest a suitable workaround on how this can be achieved.

Task created to stop and start Health service not working.

We have multiple servers being grayed out so we created a task to stop and start the health service on SCOM 2007 R2. We have created two tasks one to stop and another task to start. The STOP task works but the START tasks keeps running but there is no result
as well as when i check in Services.msc it is still stopped. Below are the screen shots .
Task created to STOP the health service which is running.
Screen shot of service start task creation which is NOT working
The same was created for another service windows audio. Which worked for both stop and stop (Created separate tasks).
We also tried the recycle health service and chche which is also failing.
Can any one please help. The issue is on both SCOM 2007R2 and 2012 R2 both. Is there any other way to touch the health service.
We are facing the issue only with Healthservice.

Hi All,
Thank you for all your answers.
@ dktoa -
You are right we have to concentrate on the servers to determine why do they go grey (all in one site). But before we do that i felt i find a temporary solution. Then go deep investigation to solve the issue.
@Yan LI: As per the likn provided above you. I overrided the servers but still the health services were not starting or restarting. When i created a custom group and added the servers to that group in that site and then enabled the override on Restart
Health Service for a specific group and pointed towards that group then it worked.
Thanks All.

Start workflow with f. module to trigger event and how to pass data to BOR?

Hi,
I have a custom BOR object, with Event "Created". I have also an attribute in this BOR, just simple field Plant.
I have prepared a custom Workflow which is triggered when event Created of that custom BOR business object is raised.
To raise an event and to start a workflow I run f. module SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT.
I have a problem to pass a Plant value to the Workflow container. In the PFTC_CHG for my Workflow I made the container
of BOR object, and the data binding &_EVT_OBJECT& => &MATREQ& (symbol of my BOR).
Below both of EVTOBJECT and MATREQ I can see my field Plant.
Then I run f. module SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT with tables parameter input_container.
I try to fill the data in many ways, but the started workflow does not have Plant filled.
I try to use '_EVT_OBJECT.WERKS' in field name for input_container parameters.
Business Object is passed to the Workflow container, but I do not get the fields
as attributes. Do I have to use the parameters for the event Created ?
Thank you in advance
Wojtek

Hello,
I've never used GUID as a key but I suppose the principles are the same - the object instance is equivalent to "something", say a widget.
This widget has attributes, e.g. the factory where it was created, the day it was created, its weight etc.
If you make a widget BOR object and you specify attributes then you're telling SAP how, given the key, it can deduce the value of the attributes. Widget 1234's weight can be looked up in table XXX by doing this select.
If you pass an object instance to a workflow then all you need to pass is the type of object and the key, the rest can be done by the workflow (or any other program). It can instantiate the object, and the attribute values are immediately available.
If you can instantiate the object in SWO1 and the attributes get values, then it should work in the workflow as well.
If not, please provide the code of the attribute or describe how it finds the attribute value.
regards
Rick Bakker
