Agent determination failed description

Hi, here's my doubt:
When creating a PO or a SC, if the initiator (requestor) is the same person as the appover of that SC or PO, the workflow fails, because he is one of the excluded agents.
When this happens I get this message: 'Strategy Z_SC_TOT_VAL_APPR did not determine any approver.'. I can see this message clicking on the last step of creating a SC in the link "Edit/Display Agents"
I want to know if I can change that message and put something like 'SC requestor cannot be approver'
Thanks!!!!!
Matias.

  • Agent determination failed

    HI
    I am using a rule with responsibilities created through PFAC in the loans workflow.
    We upgrading are from 4.6c to ECC.6
    The workflow and rule use to work well in 4.6c.
    In ECC 6 ,Simulating the rule works fine,but when running the workflow an error occurs.
    The workflow runs well in Delopment box and the error is only on production box
    I get the error  "Agent determination failed" but when i restart the workflow manually through 'SWIA' the worklow complete succefully.
    Thanks
    Rendani

    HI,
    What points I could think of is:
    1. Check if task agent assignment atributes ae maintained properly e.g. General Task etc in PRD system.
    2. Responsibilities are in place in PRD system same as Development system.
    3. Check if any authorization differerence from DEV system , i.e. Responsibility rule might faile due to lack of authorization to certain user ID.

  • PR Overall Release Workflow - Agents Determination Failed

    Dear All WF Experts,
    I have used the standard workflow WS20000077 for PR Overall Release. I have assigned the agents to the task TS20000159 by position maintained in the Workflow Organizational Management Structure. The agents' names are showing correctly in the task's agent settings.
    However,  when I execute the workflow, the error 'Agent Determination Failed' for that step (TS20000159). I have checked the agent settings in workflow and SPRO, they look fine. Could anyone please kindly give me advices how to solve this error? Thank you so much.

    Hi, to all the experts who have helped me all these while,
    Thank you very much for spending time helping me to go through this issue.
    Yesterday, I ran through the coding for the function module for the rule AC20000026 again. I found out that there is one part of the coding which is causing the failure of determining an agent. The code disregard the company code for overall release of Purchase Requisition while the business requirement involves company codes in every PR created. Thus, by changing that code, the problem is solved.
    The snippet of code of function module (ME_REL_GET_RESPONSIBLE):
       CASE t16fc-frgwf.
    * keine Ermittlung
          WHEN space.
            RAISE nobody_found.
    * Ermittlung ¨¹ber T16fW
          WHEN '1'.
            IF eban-gsfrg EQ space.
    *     Einzelpositionsfreigabe Banf
              SELECT SINGLE * FROM t16fw WHERE frggr = eban-frggr
                                           AND frgco = rm06b-frgab
                                           AND werks = eban-werks.
            ELSE.
    *     Gesamtfreigabe Banf
              SELECT SINGLE * FROM t16fw WHERE frggr = eban-frggr
                                           AND frgco = rm06b-frgab
                                           AND werks = space.
    There is always a value in werks in my business scenario...
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM t16fw WHERE frggr = eban-frggr
                                           AND frgco = rm06b-frgab
                                           AND werks = space.
    So, by changing it to
    AND werks = eban-werks
    it will work, however, I think it's better to just remove the If statement
    IF eban-gsfrg EQ space.
    , since it has no effect anymore.
    I hope this would give a hint to all the rest who might be facing the same problem as well.
    Thank you very much,

  • Error in resolution of rule ... for step - Agent determination failed

    Dear All,
    In SRM 7.0 CS, i am having a problem in the area of work flow. In general, the workflow is working fine, but at times the work item does not get delivered to the approver.
    As per the analysis from SWI2_DIAG, the error is the following for the concerned shopping carts:
    Error handling for work item 000000056146
    No links corresponding to the specified data could be determined
    Error in resolution of rule 'AC40000138' for step '0000000293'

    Error when processing node '0000000293' (ParForEach index 000000)
    Does anyone have an idea on the root cause of this error?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Masa,
    thank you very much for the reply.
    Yes, rolewise the approver is having the manager role in SRM and also on the portal. But what do you mean by "manager position in PPOSA_BBP"?
    The user is hanging in his node together with the other users. Is there any specific "manager position", where the approvers have to be put in PPOMA? I mean, the other approvers, for whom the workflow is working normal, are hangig in their nodes just like the approver who is not getting the work item.
    Moreover, if i drag the users (the requestor and the approver) into an other node (for another plant of another company code for example), than the work flow is working fine.
    Can there be any other reason for such an error?
    Thank you very much.

  • Problem in agent determination for custom wf of contracts

    Hi
    I've copied standard wf for contracts i.e. 20000079. In my custom wf the step for release contract I've maintained the standard rule 20000029. bcos this rule is assigned for standard one with task 20000172. Am I correct in agent assignment??bcos my agent determination fails and wf goes into error. But if I simulate the rule separately it works fine. So there is no prob in rule,also i've properly binded it with task passing purchasingContract and releasecode.
    Could u pls help me.
    Thanks

    Check that the binding between the workflow and rule are OK. Maybe your workflow is not delivering all the needed parameters for the rule (the same parameters that you are using while simulating the rule).
    Another thing that you should check is that make sure that this is not an authorisation problem. It is possible that the rule is executed by the dialog user (not WF-BATCH) that doesn't have enough authorisations to do all the necessary rule logic. Just give remporarily SAP_ALL to the user who is executing the test.

    Karri

  • Error in resolution of rule ... for step - Agent determination for failed

    Dear Experts,
    in SRM 7.0 CS, i have come accross the following workflow error:
    I have extended my existing organizational plan for a new site (new CoCo, Plant, Purch Org and Purch Gr). But when i use my test users with this site, i receive a workflow error, that has the following wording in SWI2_DIAG:
    Error handling for work item 000000055347

    Can you maybe help me understand, what this error means and how to resolve it?
    Thank you very much!
    P.S. my test users work fine if i drag them to another location in my organizational plan. And also if i take other test user from locations where everything works fine and drag them to this "problem" location, than the same workflow error occures.

    Remove the user from the PPOMA node and add him again.. Sometimes this will solve the issue..
    Thanks!!

  • Agent determination for step 0000000081 failed error in workflow

    Hello All,
         I am doing employment verification from ESS portal. In the workflow step I have selected RULE to determine the agent. To configure rule, I double click on rule, on next screen selected "Agent determination - responsibilties" to determine the agent. I configured responsibilties with the valid value ranges and everything but the workflow is going into error! I did research and not sure what I am doing wrong. I checked the workflow container in workflow log and all the values that are supposed to pass to rule container are showing up fine.I keep getting the error:
    Agent determination for step 0000000081 failed
    Result og agent resolution does not agree with agents of task.
    Any feedback you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Mithun

    1. In Transaction PFTC, select Task Type = Standard Task and Task = 01000076
    2. display the task details.
    3. Now go to Additional data ->Agents Assignment->Maintain
    4. Select the task here and click Attributes in the application tool bar.
    5. Select the General Task radio button and hit transfer.
    -- You have made your task general.
    To Synchronise the runtime buffer ,simply excute T-Code SWU_OBUF and hit the Start Synchronization button.

  • SCOM agent install fails Error 80070035 - the network path was not found

    I have deployed SCOM 2012 agents to most servers (2008, 2008 R2, 2012, 2012R2) in our estate but some either fail to install or are not monitored. I assume the two problems are related, but for now I am concentrating on the servers that fail completely.
    Installation is from the Discovery Wizard and I have about 20 servers that fail of various server versions.
    So looking at one specific server that is failing to install the agent - a 2008 standard service pack 2
    The firewall in on and file and printer sharing is enabled for domain, remote administration is enabled for domain
    I added a specific rule to allow TCP 5723 and 5724
    DCOM is enabled
    I can Ping the target server from the SCOM server by both name and FQDN - both return the same IP and our DNS server has only one entry for this server
    I can browse to the admin share \\server\C$ from the SCOM Server, using the same account that I specify for the agent install that is a domain admin with rights on this server (and on the other servers the agent
    did install to) and the server has plenty of disk space available
    I am not sure what else to look at so would welcome any ideas
    Thanks

    Hi Petro,
    I have a Agent installation failure cheat sheet, For your error 80070035 it is said to perform a manual installation.
    So i would like to understand which version of SCOM is this ? 2007 R2 or 2012 or 2012 r2 ?
    Also check if your agents have the WMI service started and enabled ?
    Also if yours is a SCOM 2007 R2 do you have a RMS & MS in your management group ? If yes then Pushing the agent installation from MS may cause such issue. So would suggest you push the installation from RMS.
    Also check if your Network connectivity meets the minimum requirement as recommended by SCOM. Below is applicable for Both SCOM 2007 R2 & SCOM 2012 & 2012 R2.
    Component A
    Component B
    Minimum Requirement
    Root management server or management server
    Agent
    64 Kbps
    Root management server or management server
    Agentless
    1024 Kbps
    Root management server or management server
    Database
    256 Kbps
    Also check if you have any Anti virus / Firewall which is blocking the install / communication. If yes disabe or add the "Monitoringhost.exe to the safe list or what your feature is.
    Check if you have another IP assigned to the NIC card and remove it tempraurly andchecl.
    Also post the event logs of the Agents which are in not monitored state for analysis.

    1.  Check the PATH environment variable.  If the PATH statement is very long, due to lots of installed third party software - this can
    fail.  Reduce the path by converting any long filename destinations to 8.3, and remove any path statements that are not necessary.
    2.  The cause
    could be corrupted Performance Counters on the target Agent.
    To rebuild all Performance counters including extensible and third party counters in Windows Server 2003, type the following commands at a command
    prompt. Press ENTER after each command.
    cd
    \windows\system32
    lodctr /R
    Note /R is uppercase.
    Windows Server 2003 rebuilds all the counters because it reads all the .ini files in the C:\Windows\inf\009 folder for the English operating system.

    When you install or remove a management agent, the Operations Manager 2007 management server copies temporary files to the remote computer. One
    of these files is named LockFileTime.txt. This lock file is intended to prevent another management server from performing a management agent installation at the same time as the current installation. If the management agent installation is unsuccessful and
    if the management server loses connectivity with the remote computer, the temporary files may not be removed. Therefore, the LockFileTime.txt may remain in the folder on the remote computer. When the management server next tries to perform an agent installation,
    the management server detects the lock file. Therefore, the management agent installation is unsuccessful.

  • Agent determination problem

    I have a workflow that has been in production for almost a year.  We are in the middle of integration testing for another rollout and I'm getting agent determination errors in this workflow.  There are three steps involved.  The first two use the exact same rule.  The first of these two works fine.  When it tries to run the rule again for the second step, it gets no agent found.  If I test the rule it works.  If I restart the workflow, it works.  When it moves on to the third work item using a different rule, it errors out no agent found.  When I test this rule, it works.  When I restart at this step, it also works.
    This is a new integration client that was copied from production.  I've performed the standard workflow customization like I always do.  I've run several other workflows and only notice the agent determination problems in this one.  The workflow hasn't changed in months although there have been some user security changes...I'm not sure how that could really affect the agent determination during the creation of work items. 
    One thing that might be important...userA created the first workitem and the agent determination resolves to userB.  When userB executes the first work item and completes, the second work item should also resolve to userB using the exact same rule.  This fails.  I restarted it using my account and it resolves to userB.  UserB executes work item #2 and work item #3 should resolve to userC but the agent determation fails again.  I don't know whether the work item agent is "used" to perform the creation of the next workitem or not but this is the only difference between the first two work items and one works while the other does not.
    It's almost like userA can perform the agent determination but userB cannot.  I can't manually execute the agent determination as userB so I ran se37 as myself in debug and changed SYST-UNAME to userB and it worked fine and returned userB as the agent.  That would seem to eliminate security as an issue with the agent determination.

    Hi,
    Are you absolutely sure that it is not an authorisation issue? Can you give SAP_ALL (and the possible structural authorisations) to all the users that are involved in the process? (I don't think that changing sy-uname in debug mode to another user really is a correct way to try to prove whether this is an authorisation issue.)
    The agent determination of the following step is executed by the previous WF agent, if there is no background steps between. So if the previous agent doesn't have enought authorisations, the agent determination will fail.

  • Responsibility rules : Agent determination only works after restarting the WF

    Hi Experts,
    We are facing a very strange issue related to agent determination in one of our custom workflow:
    For agent determination we are using a responsibility rule with two parameters "Company code" and "Plant".
    The responsibility rule works well and returns the agents for all the company code.
    Recently I have added few company codes to this responsibility rule in the same way we used to maintain and simulate it . It returns the correct agent for newly added company codes but at run time the agent determination is getting failed and the WF goes into an error because of it. However when i restart the WF via SWPR it works well and the agent determination works well either.
    This is only happening for newly added company codes the old ones agent determination work well at the run-time.
    Pls suggest what could cause this problem. If there is a problem in responsibility rule then why it works after restarting from SWPR.
    Thanks in advance. The helpful/correct answers will be rewarded.
    Regards,
    Him

    Hi Rick,
    Thanks for replying.
    1. Can you replicate this problem in the test system?
    Yes I could replicate this issue in test system and it works fine there.
    2. Is this a true responsibility rule or does e.g. a function module get called?
    We have a responsibility where several responsibilities have been added with two parameters "company codes" and "plant". Every responsibility has a POSITION assigned into it and this position contains the related users.
    This responsibility rule is getting called in one other rule with FM. Here in this another rule we are calling the responsibility rule by using the standard FM  RH_GET_ACTORS to fill the ACTOR_TAB.
    I have tried to simulate both the rules and it returned correct agents but failing at run time.
    Regards,
    Him

  • Purchase Requistion - Agent Determination using responsibilities - Issue

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to workflow. I am having an issue wrt Purchase Requistion - Agent Determination using responsibilities.
    Created some 30 to 40 resposibilities with combination of inputs - R1, P1 & Cost Center
    Checked rule with responsibilities in Simulation mode and for the given inputs shows correct output.
    Same config is present both in DEV and ACP. Simulation works fine in both systems.
    But when I created Purchase Req. in DEV and save it. Workitem is generated for the correct agent. But when I do the same test in Quality, it fails and created Workitems for several agents.
    Checked container info. in both systems,no.of agents is the ONLY difference (i.e. 1 in DEV and 30+ agents in Quality).
    Put shred some light on this issue.
    Workflow Used: BUS2009
    Task : TS00007986
    Thanks a ton in advance.
    Regards,
    Krishna

    Hi,
    Open the workflow (WS*******) with SWDD and see the bindings for the rule in the approval step (using TS00007986). Do they look the same in both environments? Are you passing the same parameters for the rule?
    Another thing that you should check is a possible authorisation error. Maybe the users are not authorised to execute the needed functions for finding the agent inside the rule (common problem).
    Also try to read the technical workflow log (Start a workflow, open SWI1 and drill-down to the workflow log). Can you see some error messages there? You will probably find a message saying that "cannot execute agent rule" or something like that. It is WF behaviour that if it cannot find an agent it will send the work item to all possible agents (unless otherwise configured).
    Regards,
    Karri

    I'm configuring some business scenario with the help of a business workflow in SAP CRM 7.0 I'm using activity step and want to determine agents using standard SAP rule 10000162 ("Employees for responsible org. unit"). I've tested the rule outside of the workflow and it's working fine, but  in workflow it fails to determine an agent.
    In a log I see following errors:
    Agent determination for step '0000000023' failed;
    Result of agent resolution does not agree with agents of task;
    I've made some tests depending on what assignment task has:
    1. When it is a general task, work item was created for a workflow initiator even though rule failed to determine an agent.
    2. When it is a task with general forwarding with assigned position(s), which rule will never determine, work item was created for holder(s) of that position(s).
    3. When it is a task with general forwarding with no assignments, workflow could not determine an agent as expected.
    I've also debugged functional module for that rule and it determines appropriate agent but then do some check with the help of RH_TASK_AGENT_CHECK function and returns an error.
    Can someone help me with this problem? Is it some standard expected behavior or not?
    Maybe something wrong with the org. plan?
    All answers are appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Alex.

    Hello Rick and Eddie.
    I've tried to assign user directly instead of position to a task with no help. I get the same result.
    I've tried to set a task as a general task and made the rule to fail if there is no resolution and it fails.
    I've tried to assign position or user directly to activity in a workflow and it does work but that's not what I need in my scenario.
    As I said earlier I've tried to debug that rule invoked from a workflow. I will post some screenshots for you.
    I set a task as a general task and assigned rule 10000162 (ABBR="PARTNER_1", Name="Employees for responsible org. unit") to activity step in a workflow and here is what I get:
    1. Function CRM_ORGMAN_ORGOBJECTS_FIND_2 gets called by the rule and resp. sales org. unit is passed there ([screenshot1|http://www.picdrop.net/?v=debug1.png])
    2. Next function CRM_ORGUNIT_GETEMPLOYEES gets called passing id of a resp. sales org.unit without a type.
    3. Next RH_STRUC_GET gets called and returns result table with position and central person for that position ([screenshot2|http://www.picdrop.net/?v=debug2.png])
    4. In the end of CRM_ORGMAN_ORGOBJECTS_FIND_2 function only central person in inserted to the actor_tab ([screenshot3|http://www.picdrop.net/?v=debug3.png])
    5. After CRM_ORGMAN_ORGOBJECTS_FIND_2 ends we appear in a RH_GET_ACTORS function where we can see that agent check is performed if act_task is not initial. I assume that check is not performed if we do a simulation of a rule ([screenshot4|http://www.picdrop.net/?v=debug4.png])
    6. Then RH_TASK_AGENT_CHECK function gets called for every record in a actor_tab. In out particular case it's one record. ([screenshot5|http://www.picdrop.net/?v=debug5.png])
    7. Inside that function checks act_wi_id (activity work item id?) if it's initial and get exluded agents. It is initial in my case ([screenshot6|http://www.picdrop.net/?v=debug6.png])
    8. Then function tries to read table with keys equal to type and id of found agent and errors there, perhaps because there is no record in that table ([screenshot7|http://www.picdrop.net/?v=debug7.png])
    That error results in overall agent determination failure.
    Hope this screenshots will help to identify a problem.
    Why read table results in an error and because of that all rule fails?
    Regards,
    Alex.

  • Agent determination best practices

    Hi, workflow dev team!
    Another question about workflow best practices.
    I build a workflow, the first step of each workflow, at least as I see it, is to determine agents for all steps in the workflow and store it in multiline WF-container. After that, to use this WF-container data to execute a step inside of workflow.
    The questions are:
    1. Suppose, I filled a WF-container with a list of all possible agents and their position (in order to supply more user-friendly approve/decline notifications) for the different steps inside of this workflow (username & position). As I understand, I can access to specific line of multiline container with &AGENTS[&INDEX&]& inside of EXPRESSION field (not via ABAP-code in method of class), but how can I access specific column of the WF-container? E.g. &AGENTS[1]& will return «USJOHN — Junior Manager», is it possible to retrieve username and position from multi line and pass it to the task as two separate container elements?
    2. Is it possible to query specific line of multiline container element according to some logical condition inside of EXPRESSION field (not via ABAP-code in method of class) or in order to do this I have to implement that logic inside of ABAP class method?
    And the last question, probably, less connected to the questions asked above.
    3. If I need to define agents for the task, what is the best approach to do that:
    — define the task as General Task and insert the relevant agents as multiline container element via EXPRESSION field;
    — to play with Agent Assignment (try to implement agent determination logic there) and not to define the task as general one.
    Thanks.

    Ronen already had great input, but here are some additional points:
    -In general I would try to avoid some kind of "Let's get all the agents at the beginning of the workflow into a multiline container, and try to pick up the correct ones for the individual steps" approach. Of course if your aim is just to display the list of agents somewhere (task description etc.,), then this might be OK approach.
    -Rules are better than expressions in agent determination (at least in most cases). If the approvers change during the process, you can (as an WF admin) just click the "Execute agent rule again" functionality, and the system will find the correct new approver for the work item. Otherwise you need to go to manipulate the container element(s) (and first figure out that who is the approver).
    Answer for 3: You don't need to use only expressions/container elements. Try to check if you can use rules. In some rare cases you might consider of using the tasks' agent assignment (the same place where you set the task as general task). Let's say that you want to send the work item to all users that have certain authorization role. Now you can set the role as a "restricting entity" at the task level (=same place where you set the general task). This will mean that only the users who have the role are the possible agents for the task. And now if you leave the agent determination part at the workflow template empty (no expressions, no rules etc), you are done!
