Additional approval on attribute change

My system: IDM 8.0.0.5
Whenever an administrator changes one of my "special" resource attributes I need to have an additional, sequential approval step where two teams approve in sequence.
*** First team_1 has to approve. If the request is approved, request has to go to team_2.
*** If one rejects, the request is rejected.
*** If all approve , go ahead.
The solution should not interfere with the standard approval provess. It should work in addition.
I try to find a solution where I adjust the approvals structure according to my needs.
*?* Can I configure an sequential approval with the existing approvals structure? (if Yes, pls. give an example or describe in detail)
*?* Where would you recommend to hook into the existing workflow?
*#* update User?
*#* Lighthouse Approvals?
*#* Multi Approvals?
Any help/hint is very much appreciated

*?* Can I configure an sequential approval with the existing approvals structure? (if Yes, pls. give an example or describe in detail)No, unfortunately not.
*?* Where would you recommend to hook into the existing workflow? I have implemented this by adding new Approve actions to the Create User and Update User workflow. In our case, we wanted the IDM manager to approve the process before the actual approvers.

Additional Approvers for a changed shopping cart.

Good afternoon all, hope you are all well.
I hope one of you guy and guls can help me. We currently have one approver set to be able to approve changed carts and PO's can you tell me where we can add an additional approver, so basically they would both get informed there is a cart or po to approve?
I hope i have explained what i require, please feel free to ask me more questions if need be.

Steve

Hi,
There are 2 options.
1. Using SAP Business Workflow functions.
Define new Agent object in SWO1 and change the workflow container type of Agent_001.
[Change standard approvers for Invoice WF WS10400017 - 1 step approval|Change standard approvers for Invoice WF WS10400017 - 1 step approval]
2. Using BADI and N-step approval template.
Inplement the BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI.

BPS and attributes change

Hi,
I'm currently working on BI-IP with planning function "Repost on Basis of Characteristic relationship" and it works well but i would like to know if there's something like this in BPS.
Some old projects are in BPS and there are some derivation by characteristic relationship. In BPS if an attribute changed from the last writing a new line is created with the new value but i don't think there's another line to cancelled the fisrt one (line with old attribute value).
I hope someone can find an issue for my question.
Raito.

After few test with BPS it doesn't work like BI-IP.
Let's take an example to be sure we speak about the same thing.
I've got a Web Interface for the input where we need to fill one Order Number with an Amount. On my Planning Area, there's a derivation by characteristic relationship for profit center (attribute of Order Number).
I fill my interface with Order Number A and an AMount of 10.
In my cube i have something like :
Order number = A / Profit Center = AA / AMount = 10
If my master data changed and my new profit center for Order number A is AB. If i changed my data in the input with the value 20, in my cube i've got something like :
Order number = A / Profit Center = AA / AMount = 10
Order number = A / Profit Center = AB / AMount = 10
For me it's not good because i need to have 20 in my profit center AB and 0 in AA like how it works with BI-IP and planning function "Repost with characteristic relationship". SO i need to have 3 lines in my cube
Order number = A / Profit Center = AA / AMount = 10
Order number = A / Profit Center = AA / AMount = -10
Order number = A / Profit Center = AB / AMount = 20
I hope it's clear ...

Effect of Full Attribute Extract on Aggregate Attribute Change Run

Because we extract data that does not trigger the change pointer on 0CUST_SALES we do a FULL extract of this data daily instead of a DELTA. We recently created an aggregate which contains navigational attributes of 0CUST_SALES (namely Sales Office & Sales Group).
My question is does the system look to see if any information has changed between the new and old values or does it assume since there is a new version for every entry that 100% of the values have changed?
The reason I'm asking is BW appears to be rebuilding this aggregate from scratch each day instead of changing the aggregate for the few entries that actually changed.

I did a FULL extract for 0CUST_SALES in our QA system. It transferred 28617 records. When I look into the monitor > processing > data package 1 > update I see the following:
3 data records in table /BI0/XCUST_SALES marked for deletion
3 data records inserted in table /BI0/XCUST_SALES
3 data records n table /BI0/PCUST_SALES marked for deletion
3 data records inserted in table /BI0/PCUST_SALES
Different database operations were executed
When I run the attribute change I see the following messages:
The Change Run is executing
Attribute 0CUST_SALES__ZZROUTE for basic characteristic 0CUST_SALES: 2 changes
Attribute 0CUST_SALES__0BILLTOPRTY for basic characteristic 0CUST_SALES: 2 changes
Attribute 0CUST_SALES__0PAYER for basic characteristic 0CUST_SALES: 2 changes
Attribute 0CUST_SALES__ZZACGRP for basic characteristic 0CUST_SALES: 2 changes
0001 ZSD_C02    100016     Aggregates Will Be Adjusted by:Reconstruction
0002 ZSD_C02    100019     Aggregates Will Be Adjusted by:Reconstruction
After seeing this i revisited the documentation for threshold value in RSCUSTV8. Ours is BLANK! So according to the documents when it is blank the aggregate is reconstructed generally. Not what we want!!
I will change the setting to the suggested 20% to start and we'll work from there.
Thanks for your help Oliver.

Attribute Change run taking too long time to complete.

Hi all,
Attribute change run has been taking too long time to complete.It has to realign 50 odd aggreagates, some by delta , some by reconstruction. But inspite of all the aggregates it used to finish in quick time earlier. But since last 4-5 days it is taking indefinite time to finish.
Can anyone please suggest what all reasons may be causing this? and what possibly can be the solution to the problem? It is becoming a big issue. So kindly help with ur advises.
Promise to reward your answer liberally.
Regards,
Pradyut.

Hi,
Check with your functional owners in R/3 if there are mass changes/realignments or classification changes are going on regarding master data. e.g. reasigning materials to other material groups. This causes a major realignment in BW for all the aggregates. Otherwise check for parameterchanges / patches or missing db stats with your sap basis team.
Kind regards, Patrick Rieken.

ERROR while running attribute change run.

hi sap xperts,
I got an error while running the attribute change run in a process chain.
At first i got an error "The action is locked by a change run"
SO I DID THE FOLLOWING STEPS.
1.RUN ATTRIB CHANGE RUN MANUALLY IT RUN SUCCESSFULLY,but the process chain is still red.
Q1.Is there any way to link the manually run attrib chnage to process chain so that the process chain becomes Green?
2.SM12 - realease the locks and right click the pc and repeat.It didn't work
Q1.While removing the locks what should we remove,bcoz i removed all the locks?
3.I again removed the lock and repeat the process but still i didn't work.Now its chowing "SQL ERROR OCCURED WHILE ACCESSING"
So the Process chain got stuck,Can any body help me to run the attrib chnage run.
If possible can anybody send the Process chain monitoring documents to my email id:
<email ID removed>
please.thanks in advance,i know how to say thanks in sdn.

At any point in time only one attribute change run can run in the system. The other ACR's will fail due to locks. In your case, to set the process chain to green, try the following steps.
Open the messages of a failed step by right clicking on it and selecting 'display messages'.
In the opened popup click on the tab 'Chain'.
In a parallel session goto transaction se16 for table rspcprocesslog and display the entries with the following selections:
1. copy the variant from the popup to the variante of table rspcprocesslog
2. copy the instance from the popup to the instance of table rspcprocesslog
3. copy the start date from the popup to the batchdate of table rspcprocesslog
Press F8 to display the entries of table rspcprocesslog.
Now open another session and goto transaction se37. Enter RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH as the name of the function module and run the fm in test mode.
Now copy the entries of table rspcprocesslog to the input parameters of the function module like described as follows:
1. rspcprocesslog-log_id -> i_logid
2. rspcprocesslog-type -> i_type
3. rspcprocesslog-variante -> i_variant
4. rspcprocesslog-instance -> i_instance
5. enter 'G' for parameter i_state (sets the status to green).
Now press F8 to run the fm.
The above steps will help you continue with the rest of the process chain (thus avoiding manual runs) but the failed step might still remain red. Hope this helps.

How to - only display the price of approved PO (not change mode)

Hi,
Following are our PO release strategy
1. Release id : P has
a. Released indicator (tick)
b. Changeablity - 4
The above setup is working fine, means still after the approval users can change all the fields. New strategy is triggered once the values are changed.
Now the issue is business owner does not want the price, qty in change mode after approval. After approval ME22N to show
1. Price & qty to be in display mode
2. All other fields (except the one which affects PRICE) in change mode.
I tried to all the combinations, but after approval I get to see either all the fields in display mode or all in change mode.
Is it possible to display the price related fields only for the approved PO in ME22N.
Please advice
Thanks,
Raj.

Hi Mani,
Thanks for the fast reply.
1. There is no ME22N - Fsel Key available.
2. Only for the approved PO - we want the price fields in display mode.
3. There is no restriction required for the un approved POs.
Is there any way.
Please reply
Thanks
Raj.

Attribute change run problem - infoobject is not listed in the list

Hi folks,
When I load master data for 0customer, the infoobject 0customer doesnt come in the infoobject list for attribute change run. Also, when I try to activate master data manually it says 'Master Data already active'. and the reality is M version of Data is not active.
Can you guide me.

Try running the program RSDMD_CHECKPRG_ALL for this infoobject. You can select all the options when running this program.
Try running this program multiple times, coz my experience showed that initial run may not always fix this issue.
Good luck!

Hi i have 50 infoobjects as part of my aggregates and in that 10 infoobjects have received changes in masterdata.so in my process chain the Attribute change run in running for a long time.can i kill the job and repeat the same.

Hi i have 50 infoobjects as part of my aggregates and in that 10 infoobjects have received changes in masterdata.so in my process chain the Attribute change run in running for a long time.can i kill the job and repeat the same.

Hi,
I believe this would be your Prod system, so don't just cancel it but look at the job log. If it is still processing then don't kill it and wait for the change run to complete but if you can see that nothing is happening and it is stuck for a long time then you can go ahead and cancel it.
But please be sure, as these kind of jobs can create problems if you cancel them in the middle of a job.

Review Activity (RA) Approval Condition is Changing

Hello everyone,
I am running SCSM 2012 R2 version 7.5.3079.0 (no CUs). I am having an odd issue where it seems as though the approval condition is changing on review activities. I can't seem to figure out if I've done something or if there is something else
going on. This is causing some tickets to "stall" and not actually get processed or is delaying actual approvals.
So as an example, the person who originally designed the system put an Automatic Approval Review Activity at the beginning of every SR. In the template, the Approval Condition was set to Automatic and there were no reviewers. All of a sudden
a reviewer with no name would show up and the approval condition would become unanimous. I since removed that RA.
Now there is a similar issue I am finding on my Change Requests (CRs). I have only done three as we are basically doing dry runs before we convert off our old system. In my template, I have a review activity that has the six members of our
change approval board as reviewers. The members rarely change so I saw no reason to make this dynamic. The template has the stage set to Approve with an Approval Condition set for Percentage. The threshold is 66% or 4 of the 6 reviewers.
At some point, the approval condition was changed to unanimous. If I look at the history of the RA, I can see where the activity was created and it says Approval Percentage 66. The RA went from Pending to In Progress and then about a minute later,
the approval condition and percentage changed. The name on that time entry is just one of my service accounts.
If it helps...here is that process that the CR template follows
Automatic Review Activity, which has not been an issue so far.
Runbook Automation Activity - Updates some fields on the CR with information based on fields. Also modifies the reviewer in the next step to be the Business Owner of a system.
Business Owner Approval Review Activity - Template is set to unanimous and has one blank reviewer that is updated by the previous runbook.
Change Approval Board Review Activity - Explained above.
Runbook Automation Activity - Converts the Change Request to a Release Record.
I appreciate any and all assistance that someone could provide.

This is a common issue.... try restarting the following three services: Microsoft Monitoring Agent, System Center Data Access Service, System Center Management Service and deleting your health service cache (Installation Folder/Health Service State) (it
will regenerate once you restart the services)

Approval Procedure Question - changing an Un approved document or Approver

Here is my situation. I have set up an approval Stage with 1 approval necessary for Credit Memos.
From time ot time, the approver needs to change the Credit Memo before apporving.
Also, from time to time, the Originator of the Credit Memo needs to change the credit memo BEFORE it has been approved.
From what I gather,
1) The Approver can not change the Credit Memo BUT can Add the Credit Memo but only after approving it.
2) The Originator of the Credit Memo can not change the Credit Memo unless it has been rejected, and then it is not an easy task to find where the document can be changed.
3) Any manipulation of the documents from either the Approval Status reportor the Approval Decision report is not possible.
Am I missing something here or is there an easy way to modify a pre approved document?
Thanks in advance
Dana

Actually what I am trying to accomplish is have all Credit Memos approved. I at the same time would like the person who is approving th eCredit Memo also make changes to the Credit Memo if changes need to be made. The end user does not issue a Credit Memo (Update) until the goods are received back at their facility and checked. At that time, they would like the approver make the necessary adjustments if necessary and them update the Credit Memo. I find it a bit cumbersome to have to send that Credit Memo back to the Origonator to be adjusted and then send it back for approval.
Am I missing something here? Is it possible for the apporver to not approve it and then make th changesand then update it?
Any other sugestions on how to handle this situation??
BTW Thanks for the quick responses!!
Dana

ABAP program to add in the process chain before the attribute change run

Hi
I need a ABAP program to add in the process chain before the attribute change run(process) to avoid the locks, can any one send me the program
Regards,

I am not sure of any standard program .... but you can write your own... should be a small one..
you can check if the table RSDMDENQ has entry for your InfoObject... if yes, then its locked.. if not.. its not locked

Problem in Activating Hierarchy Attribute change run through process chain.

Hi All,
I have the problem in Hierarchy change run processw running through process chain..and also process chain completes successfully without any error..
Even hierarchy change run completes successfully the hierarchy objects are not activating,
so daily when i have to activate hierarchy objects manually..
and what i did was in one attributechange run process i have included 10 hierarchy object is it correct or else i have to separatly create 10 attribute change hierachy proceess in the process chain.. pls through some lights on this issue
With regards,
Hari

Hi venkat,
Yes.. i already include the save hierarchies process in process chain...
my main problem is hierarchy infobject are not activating using process chain and also even process chain is not giving error message.. and in which log table the hierarchy objects are maintained (such as run time, date , status etc..).
IS there is any other settings to be made in process chain..
