Can we create an Ad Hoc workflow from a GP task listed in UWL?

Dear All,
Can we create an Ad Hoc Work flow from tasks which are generated using Guided procedures? If UWL does not provide this information can we some how implement the concept of Ad Hoc work flow from each step? The advantage is that when a person gets a task in his plate, he can create an Ad Hoc Workflow to take care of the request within their respective department for reviews and sub reviews.
Thank You,
Mansoor.

Hi Mansoor,
In sub task, even itu2019s linked with main task you donu2019t have a link or any UI to interact with main process. For this reason, itu2019s not possible.
There are standard process roles like Overseer or Owner and custom roles, that is who will interact with each action/block. Assuming you have a manager and a team that will interact with a step in your process, you may define the manager as Overseer and the team group as processor of this step. In this case, you donu2019t have a specific forward feature, but you will treat that defining a group as processor and everyone inside this group may complete the task. The manager, as overseer, can track the process without need "hands on" with that.

Ad Hoc Workflow Routing

Has anyone developed an Ad Hoc workflow in Content Services using BPEL?
I am doing this using the User Request action to initiate the workflow. I'm also using the Ad Hoc design pattern in BPEL. This works well.
My problem is, I am not sure how to specify the person who should be the first assignee. Is there a way to use an optional attribute or something that would be a username?

Looking in to the source code a bit deeper - it turns out that there is (currently) an undocumented way to dynamically add a responder to a request item.
You can send an escelation message (IFS_ECM_ESCALATION_RESPONSE) back on IFS_BPEL_IN with a username supplied in the (IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_RESPONDER) parameter - which will get added to the request if not already present.
The user thus can see full details of the request item. What I have not fully tested yet is whether the user has read access to any saved definitions found in the REQUEST_DEFINITIONS section when dealing with FdkConstants.CREATE_DOCUMENT_REQUEST_TYPE request types.
Anyway, the following code is from the BPEL processes that I'll be soon releasing after running Oracle BPEL's schemac tool on CONTENT_IFSQUEUEMESSAGE.xsd to generate Java helper classes ...
import com.oracle.xmlns.xdb.CONTENT.IFSQUEUEMESSAGE;
import com.oracle.xmlns.xdb.CONTENT.IFSQUEUEMESSAGEFactory;
import com.oracle.xmlns.xdb.CONTENT.IFSQUEUEMESSAGEPARAMETER;
import com.oracle.xmlns.xdb.CONTENT.IFSQUEUEMESSAGEPARAMETERFactory;
import com.oracle.xmlns.xdb.CONTENT.PARAMETERS;
import com.oracle.xmlns.xdb.CONTENT.PARAMETERSFactory;
import com.oracle.xmlns.xdb.CONTENT.IIFSQUEUEMESSAGE;
import com.oracle.xmlns.xdb.CONTENT.IIFSQUEUEMESSAGEPARAMETER;
import com.oracle.xmlns.xdb.CONTENT.IPARAMETERS;
public static final String WF_MESSAGETYPE_ESCALATION =
    "IFS_ECM_ESCALATION_RESPONSE";
public static final String WF_PARAM_PROCESSID =
    "IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_PROCESSID";
public static final String WF_PARAM_RESPONDER =
    "IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_RESPONDER";
// returning this message allows addition of new responder on the REQUEST item
public static IFSQUEUEMESSAGE getWorkflowEscalationMessage(
    long processid, String user
    throws Exception
    IFSQUEUEMESSAGE msg = IFSQUEUEMESSAGEFactory.createFacade();
    msg.setMESSAGETYPE(WF_MESSAGETYPE_ESCALATION);
    PARAMETERS parameters = PARAMETERSFactory.createFacade();
    IFSQUEUEMESSAGEPARAMETER param1 =
      IFSQUEUEMESSAGEPARAMETERFactory.createFacade();
    param1.setNAME(WF_PARAM_PROCESSID);
    param1.setVALUE(String.valueOf(processid));
    param1.setDATATYPE("STRING");
    parameters.addPARAMETERLIST_ITEM(param1);
    IFSQUEUEMESSAGEPARAMETER param2 =
      IFSQUEUEMESSAGEPARAMETERFactory.createFacade();
    param2.setNAME(WF_PARAM_RESPONDER);
    param2.setVALUE(user);
    param2.setDATATYPE("STRING");
    parameters.addPARAMETERLIST_ITEM(param2);
    msg.setPARAMETERLIST(parameters);
    return msg;
}If you want to test from PL/SQL, you can do so with something like the following :-
/* Enqueue to IFS_BPEL_IN: */
DECLARE
   enqueue_options     dbms_aq.enqueue_options_t;
   message_properties dbms_aq.message_properties_t;
   message_handle      RAW(16);
   -- recipients          DBMS_AQ.aq$_recipient_list_t;
   queueMsg            IFSQUEUEMESSAGE;
BEGIN
-- -- Indicates that a Workflow is successfully completed.
-- IFSQUEUEMESSAGE.initialize('IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_MSG_COMPLETE',queueMsg);
-- queueMsg.AddParameterToList('IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_PROCESSID','48944','STRING');
-- -- Response - True if request is approved, False otherwise
-- queueMsg.AddParameterToList('IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_RESPONSE','TRUE','STRING');
-- -- Indicates that a time out has occurred in the Workflow
-- IFSQUEUEMESSAGE.initialize('IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_MSG_EXPIRED',queueMsg);
-- queueMsg.AddParameterToList('IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_PROCESSID','48944','STRING');
-- -- Indicates that a responder has not responded to the request in the specified time limit.
-- IFSQUEUEMESSAGE.initialize('IFS_ECM_ESCALATION_RESPONSE',queueMsg);
-- queueMsg.AddParameterToList('IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_PROCESSID','48944','STRING');
-- queueMsg.AddParameterToList('IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_RESPONDER','RICH','STRING');
dbms_aq.enqueue(queue_name      => 'IFS_BPEL_IN',
                  enqueue_options => enqueue_options,
                  message_properties   => message_properties,
                  payload              => queueMsg,
                  msgid                => message_handle);
   COMMIT;
END;
/In terms of dates, I expect in the new few weeks. By the way, these workflows are built based on the Content DB development kit. Though you should be able to manually backport these in to the old Content Services workflow framework if you wanted.
cheers

Ad Hoc Workflow with SAP EP6

Hi,
I have to configure Ad Hoc workflow with EP6. How can I configure it? Any document will help me.
Is Universal Worklist cofiguration is also required for Ad Hoc Workflow?

How to delete ad hoc workflow tasks in UWL centrally?

Hi,
While we were testing UWL function of Enterprise Portal in Netweaver 7.0, number of users created ad hoc workflow tasks in UWL. We have recently decided to use Universal Worklist for Inbox-based workflow only (WebFlowConnector) and not to use it for ad hoc workflow (AdHocWorkflowConnector).
Instead of asking all users to go in to UWL and delete all their ad hoc workflow tasks, I (as a System Administrator) like to delete all ad hoc workflow tasks myself, centrally. Is this possible? Does anyone know how to delete all ad hoc workflow tasks centrally?
Thank you.
Joon,

Hi Joon,
I think it will be really difficult to achieve what you want as each task is related to a particular user.
I am not sure @ a Sysadmin can accessing other users' tasks.
You can try looking for some way by using UWL apis.
I think you can get all your user's adhoc tasks in an ItemCollection object by using append method of Itemcollection Interface and then see that deleting this object may achieve give u desired reults.
Also try having a look at the IUWLItemManager interface.
You will find these interfaces in com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl
See [here|https://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/uw/index.html]
I hope it helps.

PO Approval workflow change

Hi,
i`m new to EBS. Please tell me the steps for following changes in the PO Approval workflow
1.Any new PO that gets processed / approved in the system needs to auto run the PO Print program (to generate the PDF copy of the PO) with the email function switched on.
2.PO Print program needs to be modified to auto email docuclass ([email protected]) always ( even if email option is switched off) and email both buyer and PM ( if email option is on). Email subject should contain PO# and revision#.
Thanks,

Hi,
We are using an extended classic workflow . The workflow which has been customized to have 8 step of approvers at the max.
The agents are being identified based on the cost center assignment, for which the approvers have been maintained in a seperate HRMS system.( The cost center is linked to an org unit in HRMS where we derive the approvers).
There are some approvers that come into play depending on special criterias like EB attribute of the user.
Now the problem comes where there is an ad-hoc approval workflow also added to it which enables the user to add approvers manually but there is some problem in the agent transfer there. The step identified by the systm during runtime is not defined in the ad - hoc workflow also and hence the step shows no agent and it returns to the user who added the approver.
Kindly help as to what is the reason for the same and what can be done to rectify this.
With Regards,
Rajesh

UWL, Ad-hoc items not showing up

I recently configured our EP dev system to expose an R/3 workflow inbox through the Universal Worklist. This functionality appears to work as spec'd. However, locally created ad-hoc workflow items are not appearing in the UWL. While I did not test ad-hoc items before adding the R/3 system to the UWL, I have seen ad-hoc items appear in the UWL (on another EP server).
When I configured the UWL, I used a system group definition, which at this point contains a single R/3 system. It's expected that we'll have more R/3 systems added to this group in the future.
One other item: this instance of EP was constructed using the simple installer, which installs EP+KM with the expectation of communicating with R/3 system - I'm wondering if this installer set some option which as a side effect prevents us from seeing the ad-hoc workflow items.
Anyone have any suggestions?

In the UWL Systems Configuration, just add another "AdHocWorkflowConnector" entry and specify the same configuration group you have used for the R/3 System.

Urgent ! AD hoc task routing.

In our bussiness senario a human task need to use ad hoc workflow.
Recipient number and recipients id identified as hoc.
Assigned recipient decide next step assignee names..
This continue until task complete.
is it suitable to use Oracle BPEL for this reason?
is there any one use this seneraio. How ?
Can we do it declaratively using bpel using bpel diagram or we can use code inside JSP pages.?
Thanks.

thanks

Hi everybody,
As far as i understand, workflows,feedbacks, personal notes, versions, are not passed from EP5 to EP6 when using ICE. Does anybody know where this settings are stored? Whenever it is a Filesystem Rep or DB Rep?.
For the subscription i found 3 tables in EP5 DB:
wcm_sub_subscriptions
wcm_sub_recipients
wcm_sub_resources
For the workflows i found 2 tables:
wcm_aib_assigned
wcm_aib_itens
For the others i couldn't find anything in the WCM.
Does anybody have an ideia where i can find this information? It's very urgent.

UWL Help - How can i create my own task within the Enterprise Portal

Dear all,
I am currently working with UWL .
I have tried the customization and those stuffs associated with UWL , and it is working properly.
My current issue is , how can create my own task within the Portal ( not using Ad Hoc Workflow , which is present in Portal) ?.
If i can create my own task within portal by API or using another method , then How can i add that task link within the drop down box that is present in the Collaboration launch pad and Mytask Workset.?
Is there any API regarding UWL (which is useful for creation of custom tasks in Portal using Developer Studio by means of Portal Application Creation) ?
How can i add that custom task in the drop down ?.
I have tried the customization of existing UWL.
I shall be grateful to those who can help me to solve this issue with links regarding the solution of my problem's.
with regards
Kishor Gopinathan

Hi Kishore,

Adding nodes at runtime...

Is there any way for adding workflow step dinamically at runtime.
I want to ask that oracle workflow have ad-hoc workflow capabililities or not ?
Thank You...

Workflow supports having multiple versions of the same workflow running at the same time, ad-hoc workflow capabililities can be accomplised by having certain activities perform additional processing can be by making changes to the underlying business logic (such as calling a different sub workflow), adding of function activites to a running workflow is not available currently.
