Admin Task for approval reminder - but no task exists

Project Server 2010 SP2.
A Users Approval Reminders includes a reminder for an Admin Task Approval which does not exist. If he completes the ALL the approvals on his Approval page it still shows 1 Admin Task Awaiting approval – we are unable to identify for which task or from who.
Not sure how to go about removing this reminder
Any assistance will be appreciated

CFolders Main Page - To show pending Tasks for approval

Hi,
When ever the user login to cFolders 4.5, they see the first page as My colloboration <User Name>. So from there they need to drill down to respective project and then to folders and then to documents to approve the pending drawings.
So the above involves at least 3 or 4 screens for them to go for the approval screen.
Is there anyway, when ever the approval user logs in, he/she should see only those pending tasks available for them to approve, so that they just approve and log out.
Regards,
Ani

Hi,
two methods to set task for approval as home page.
1.From super user login, u can set what ever page as home page for all users. only at front end u can change these settings. at right top corner settings tab provided.
2. second option is, user can set his/her home page as from his login only. its is based on individual user settings and these settings for home page will be different from user to user.
but in first case it wil be applicable for all users.
thanks

Travel & Expenses Managers are receiving tasks for approval even when Saved

Hi All,
I am assigned some ESS Travel & Expenses application issues. One issue is
Usually When the Employee tries to Create a Travel Request and click on "Save and Send" a mail is triggered and reqest will go to manager for Approval.
But in our case, even when the Employees just Save the request, the request is going to Manager Approval with Email notification,
I never worked on ESS Applications, and these issues are assigned to me.
Could some one tell me where should we do the necessary changes (Configurations) to fix this issue.

Hi,
pls check event binding in TA SWETYPV, BO BUS2089. So there will be "request created" or "requested" and other events available. If both are active, WF will start in both events. Also a "changed" or "request changed" event can trigger new WF without making a difference if it is "save" or "save and send". So pls check event binding first, and maybe make an event trace in your system to see which events are effectively called by the actions performed. Then choose the corresponding one and enable WF only for that event

Problem with custom task for approval

Hi,
We cleared the cache and tweaked the system
Now its working

I'm trying to add admin privileges for my manager, but can't find "manage teams", only "manage plan"?

Anyone have the answer out there - I'm sure it's me and it's simple. THX.

You have to do an assumption of liability. technically his number and phone actually belong to you since you are the account owner. So the assumption is basically giving him permission to take the line himself. He will have to go through a credit check and may have to pay a security deposit of up to $400 depending on his credit history.

Email Notification is approved but BPM Task is not getting completed

Hi,
   A transaction is submitted, the approver gets a email notification. The Human task is Actionable.
   So in the email, approver can see Approve / Reject links. On clicking the links it generates a email response and it is sent to the server also.
   But the task is not getting approved.
   Do we need to check any settings in the server or task?
   Thanks for your help.

Approval Task for role assignment

Hello again,
is there any manual for approval tasks with the SAP Provisioning Framework? There is a task group called Request new business role, but if I use this, the approver approves the request, but the status of the role assignment is "in process"and never changed to "OK".
I only found these manuals:
- How To... Create Approval Tasks in SAP NetWeaver Identity Management
- Implementing role approvals
But both documents didn't show an end-to-end role-request-and-approval workflow.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Matt, hello Peter,
the web-enabled task "Request New Business Role" and the including approval task are only examples.
To create own approval processes for your projects you have to understand how approval tasks and pending values work.
The following document shows the basics of PVOs (pending value objects).
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0d6b459-3456-2b10-209e-9e78ec9fd97b?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
This is documentation of the release 7.0, which is not updated to 7.1. But basics of PVOs are still the same.
There is also a document which describes approval task for Release 7.1:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20b67ad5-c69a-2c10-9da2-9721b1cf749c?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
Also a "How-To Guide" is available:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/904deabf-73b9-2c10-e8bb-8514dc3757f2?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
I think this is enough to learn to create workflows in SAP IdM.
There is also a nice book available with detailed information:
EN: http://www.sap-press.com/products/Understanding-SAP-NetWeaver-Identity-Management-.html
DE: http://www.sap-press.de/2007
I think this will help you.

Create Multiple tasks for Single Item in List using state machine workflow in sharepoint

Hi,
I want to create multiple create tasks for Single Item in List based on Assigned to column using state machine Workflow through visual studio
Here Assigned to column allows multiple users. so i have to create task for every user based on column .
I'm trying for this but i didn't got any solution
Please provide solution for this.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to allow multiple users to approve.
There are some articles about creating parallel tasks in state machine workflow, you can have a look at them.

How to assign tasks in Approval Workflow to a set of users selected from a Lookup table

Hi all,
I am new to Project Server and I am using Project Server 2013 On premises deployement. Please help me on how to achieve the below scenario:
I have a requirement where, the initial PDP will have 2 fields (Reviewers and Approvers), wherein the engineer himself will select who the reviewer and approver from the Lookup tables.
Now I have to start task process with these selected people for approval.
Say for example , engineer has selected Alice and Bob as 2 reviewers, then
In the workflow I have :
Start Task process with
Project Data: Reviewers (which is giving error as
[System.ArgumentException: AssignedTo at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.Runtime.Subroutine.SubroutineChild.Execute(CodeActivityContext context) at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager
bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation) ]
Then I tried logging the value of Project Data: Reviewers, It logged the value as Alice, Bob (which looks pretty good),
Then I tried assigning only 1 person as Reviewer, then also I get the same error.
So can anybody please tell me where I went wrong. Is it not possible to fetch the data from the values selected as Project Data from the Lookup tables ? If not then what is the workaround I can use to achieve this ?
Thanks,
Shanky

Hi Paul,
Yes I am using SP designer for Workflows. And yes, You were right, there was a mismatch in the names of AD account and the Lookup table, now with 1 person selected from the lookup table it is assigning the task properly. However with multiple selection,
it is failing.
As Robert mentioned, the fetched value is a text as "Alice, Bob", which makes 2 usernames as a single text. So when I try to assign a task to this group, which returns value as "Alice, Bob", workflow fails to find such AD user, as it
is an invalid value.
So is there any way I can seperate this out to form 2 different username ? I checked for string extraction function in th Workflow, but nothing helped me for this scenario.
Any input will be helpful.
Thanks,
Shanky

Actions creating task for multiple partner functions

Hello Masters,
Need help in below scenario.
We are using actions in quotations. Different actions gets triggered as per status of quotation.
ex: Status: manger approval request: Task to be create with action for manager
Status: Manger approved: Task to be created with action for Sales employee.
I have configured action profile. My actions are partner function dependent.
Partner functions are different for manager and sales employee.
But when action is getting triggered it is creating task for both partner functions.
How can I avoid this? Does though we say action is pertner function dependent is it true or it is actually partner function catagory dependant. In my case partner function category is same for manager and sales employee. The partner function category is "Employee"
looking for your guidence
Thanks
Kushal

Hi Kushal,
The partner function category is same - employee and hence it is triggering actions at the same time.
You may have to see if you can assign a separate partner function category to meet your requirement.
Hope this will be useful
Thanks and Regards

How to retrieve all the tasks for a UserView with the worklist api 10.1.3.1

Hi,
I have defined a custom view for user jcooper. The view just displays all the current uncompleted tasks for jcooper.
I want to use the worklist api to retrieve all the tasks in the view. I first tried it with the following function call:
taskQueryService.queryViewTasks(workflowContext,viewName, null, null, 0, 0);
assuming that the viewId in the corresponding java-doc corresponds to the name of the view..However this doesn't work and the method returns a null reference. So viewId is something different than a viewName. Because I cannot find the corresponding viewId for my view (not looked in the db yet, but I don't want to use these ids in my app), I tried the method:
client.getUserMetadataService().getUserTaskViewList(workflowContext, Partcipant participant);
However I did not find a method to retrieve a Partipant instance for jcooper in the worklflow api documentation.
My question now is if someone can help me out to retrieve all the tasks for a specific view. I should be possible I think...
Thanks!
Kind regards,
-Tom

The second argument (Participant) was added to handle the use case where one user such as an admin or manager needs to retrieve user metadata of another user (offcourse with the required security checks). We will try to do a future enhancement such that if the pariticipant is passed as null then we will assume the metadata is to be retrieved for the workflow context user.
For now you can define a simple method to create a participant from a workflow context as follows and pass this as an argument to the UserMetadataService call:
private Participant createParticipant(workflowContext)
Participant participant = new oracle.bpel.services.workflow.common.model.ObjectFactory().createParticipant();
participant.setName(workflowContext.getUser();
participant.setRealm("jazn.com");
participant.setType("USER");
return participant;
// code to retrieve task list...
UserViewList views = client.getUserMetadataService().getUserTaskViewList(
workflowContext, createParticipant(workflowContext))

My iPad synchs my Outlook tasks via the iCloud, but my iPhone does not.

Hi Everyone,
I've updated my iPad and iPhone to iOS 5. I've also added the iCloud client to my Windows 7 machine running Outlook 2007.
New tasks that are added into Outlook synch via the iCloud to my iPad, like I would expect. They appear in a 'Tasks' list within the Reminders app itself.
However, on my iPhone which connects to the iCloud using the same Apple ID as my iPad, there are no Tasks! In fact, there isn't even an empty Tasks list (the tasks list was created on the iPad after the first synch).
If I create a new Reminder (not a task) on my iPad, that synchs accross between iPad and iPhone via the cloud. It simply seems the Tasks are only eligable for synching between Outlook and iPads... not iPhones?
Can anyone confirm this is expected behavior?

Hi,
i youse Outlook and Iphone 3gs and i can sync and it would be displayed in the notification center.
But it would not displayed in the tasklist from outlook.
