Approval email notification not routing to an approver

Hi Experts,
For a certain PO value range there are existing approvers. We have added an additional approver to the PO approval matrix. Now, while changes are done for a PO the approval email is not going to the added approver. Instead it will send a mail notification twice to one of the existing approvers.
The added approver appears in SRM approval preview, aslo we find the approver in the workflow agents. In addition the approver gets the PO in the SRM inbox for approval, but only the email notification is not sent to this approver.
Any pointers to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Francis

Hello,
Workflow approbation e-mails are taken from BP transaction. If there is no information there, e-mails are taken from SU01.
Some extra customising has to be maintained in order to have notifications sent out as an email:
- Set the attribute FORWARD_WI for the requester;
- In SO16, tab "Mail Sy.Grp", select "Send to home address of users".
Kind regards,
Ricardo

Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders

hi,
i have to send Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders to the user who have submitted the order for approval.how could it be done.please send ur solutions.

yesukannan

Hi,
An option would be use Oracle Alert. Create an event based alert on the table where you have order approvals or rejections. This alert will be raised after inserting or updating this table. Create an action linked to this alert, and choose message as action type.
This setup can be done under Alert Manager Responsibility.

We have been having some issues with Email notifications not going out and getting hung up in SOST. Can anyone please tell me whether we can use Solution Manager to monitor outbound emails?

What version of Solman are you using ? Check in t-code Rz20 >ccms monitor template of satelliate system , there would be option to monitor your outbound mails .You can sutomise your monitorig metrics in solman 7.1 else in 7.01 you use auto reaction methods to monitor .

Configuration of WF approval email notification

We are on 11.5.10.2 and I have a workflow configuration question. When an approval notification is routed to a manager and he or she views it in their worklist, the response line that has the Approve, Reject, or Request More Information buttions appears at BOTH the top and bottom of the page. But when the manager views it in their email box, the links to Approve, Reject, etc appear only at the bottom of the email. Is there a way to configure the emails so that the response links appear at the top of the page in addition (or instead of) to the bottom of the page, the same as the worklist page? Managers are finding that when viewing/approving via PDAs, part of the notification is being truncated, as is the case with OTL timecard approvals.

Hi,
Please see if this thread helps.

Send approval email notification to Lotusnotes/Outlook

Hi all,
Our requirement here is to send a confirmation e-mail to the requisition creator once their requisition has been approved by the requisition approver.
So far, we have been only able to send this message to the requisition creatoru2019s SAP Inbox, however, our requirement is to send it to their e-mail address (i.e. outlook / lotus notes). We understand that if we set-up this confirmation message as a work-item (i.e. not an SAP Inbox message), then we could use the standard Workflow e-mail notifications (SWNCONFIG) to send the e-mail to the requisition creator. We want to know if it is possible to send an e-mail from the workflow system without setting this up as a work-item (if we set it up as a work-item, then we are forced to have a decision, and a decision is not relevant here).
Cheers,
Chandra

Hi Pavan,
The note you mentioned talks about the integration of SAP and lotus notes. But, as we are in ECC5.0, we dont want to do the lotus notes integration.
For, now I have setup the forwarding email functionality in SO13 and the issues has been resolved.
I am using SO10 setup to send email notifications to lotusnotes email ID and SWNCONFIG to send workitems to lotusnotes email ID. Issue resolved for now.
Still looking for some more options to resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Chandra

OIM 11g - Email Notification with direct link to Approval Task Details

Hi,
We wanted to send email notifications to approver with direct link to the approval task details screen from which the user can either approve or reject the request. In OIM 11g OOTB Notification templates such as Request Creation contains the direct link to Request Detail screen which is something like
http://localhost:14000/oim/faces/pages/Self.jspx?OP_TYPE=LOOKUP;E_TYPE=MY_REQUEST&T_ID=65
Wondering if there is something similar for Approval Task Details screen as well.
Any kind of help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Deepa

If at all you cannot get the direct link for approve/reject then try the actionable email from SOA. Once you have that configured the emails gets approver/reject links so that approvers can directly approve/reject the task from email. If that works for you then you can look at the format of those links in the email and deduce what you need the url as.

Approve email notification.

Hi All
From apex (version 4.1) application I am sending a email notification to the users. I like to know is there a way to povide approve and Reject button/link in email to process the transaction from email itself.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Srini

Hi Srini,
You can have a hidden page item and then offer the two different links to the same page but just passing in different values. For example if you are working on page 21 of application 100 the APPROVE link would look like:
www.server.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:21:::::P21_HIDDEN_VALUE:APPROVE
And the REJECT link would look like:
www.server.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:21:::::P21_HIDDEN_VALUE:REJECT
You then need a PL/SQL page process to run On Load - After Footer that references your P21_HIDDEN_VALUE page item, something like:
BEGIN
IF :P21_HIDDEN_VALUE like 'APPROVE' THEN
-- APPROVE code goes here
ELSE
-- REJECT code goes here
END IF;
END;

Send Email Notification to Assignees in Role Approval Workflow in OIM 11g

Hi Experts,
I am using a Custom Workflow for Role Approval in OIM (11.1.1.5.4). It is a two stage Approval Process.
First level Approval is Requester's Manager and Second Level Approver are Role Owners(Two users who are Role Owner in OIM).
I want to send a Email Notification to this Assignees when a request is assignd to them . So i have done Email configurations in SOA. and i am receiving Mail in English.
But, the requirement is the mail's language should be dependent on Locale of these users.
for example if locale of Manager is German then Manager should recieve mail of Request assigned in German Language.
and after manager Accepts the request, Request goes to Role Approvers where we have two User, So mail should go to this two users according to their Respective Locale.
So how can i achive this????
Thanks!!
TJ

One option would be to create views and then use the oob daily alert for each manager. If the number of managers is too much, then you should consider a custom timer job.
Your suggested approach is possible, but has potential issues in execution. I'd suggest the timer job first.

How to stop email notification on PO revision - PO approval workflow

This is part of the seeded POAPPRV Workflow. When a new PO is created, a notification is created (that requires acceptance). The PO is then revised before a response to the original notification has taken place, which deploys a new notification and closes the original one. When the original notification is closed with no response having been provided, the POAPPRV Workflow states:
"You earlier received the notification shown below. That notification is now closed, and no longer requires your response. You may simply delete it along with this message."
Can anyone tell me how to stop sending this second notification when notification is cancelled ?
Thanks,
Sunitha

When a notification is sent to a user and the user has a notification preference to receive e-mail notifications then the notifications will be sent via e-mail and they will also appear in the user's worklist.
If the user responds to the notification from the worklist (let's say approves) the notification will be responded to and will be removed from the worklist. Now, there is nothing that Workflow can do about the e-mail notification in the e-mail client (yahoo, ms outlook, gmail, etc). So if the user attempts to approve from there, the Workflow Inbound Mailer will realize the incoming e-mail corresponds to a notification that was responded to already. So it has to let the user know that his e-mail will not be processed. So the user will need to consider what he's done before sending an e-mail response.

CUP/AE: Email notification not working

Hi all,
We are configuring SAP GRC v5.3 and we are not getting any email notifications for Role Approvers. When creating a role via ERM, the request is successfully generated on CUP during the Approval step but no notification emails are being sent to Approvers.
We have activated java mail on Netweaver, configured the SMTP server and scheduled "Email Dispatcher" background job on CUP.
Are we missing anything?
Any help will be usefull for us.
Regards.
Leandro.

Thanks for your reply, we could finally solve this issue. There was a communication problem between GRC and SMTP servers.
Now we are facing the following issue. We have created an ERM Workflow with 2 approval stages for ERM requests on CUP.
We are receiving "next approver" and "approved" notifications according to the 1st approval stage but only "next approver" notification according to the 2nd stage, after the "email dispatcher" background job is executed.
Anyway, we are still not getting any "rejected" notifications after a role request is rejected at any stage of the workflow.
Any ideas on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Regards.
Leandro.

E52 Email notification not working

Previously I was getting tone notification for my emails but now I don't receive any ,but when check it out , there are new emails. I don't know if it's because of the new software (081.003) or the application EMOZE downloaded at ovimail. Can somebody help, better still people from nokia?

Hi,
Just try one more alternative....
Create an anohter task just to send an email to the manger. The same thing you need in Notification tab for the new task as you done in approval task. Just add one more process task adapter under Integration which just completed automatically you can go "tcCompleteTask" as well in Integration tab of newly create task. Of you can refer the OIM LAB how to create a task just for notification.
As it is not working in in approval task might be because of response of the task.
Let me know if you have any query for the same.

Email notification not working but email retreival...

Hi,
I'm thinking that email notification should simply tell you that you have a new email and that email retreival actually pulls the email from the server.
also does it cost to read your emails when on the move ?
thanks.

Email notifications not being sent

Hello all -
I have two Mac Mini Servers - both running 10.6.5
One server is within my LAN and behind an Apple Airport Extreme which is acting as a router.
The other server is collocated and has a direct connection to the internet. It is running the standard OS X Server firewall service to protect it.
I am having trouble getting the second server (with the direct connection to the internet) to send out alert emails (ie - as configured through Server Admin/settings/Alerts). I receive emails from the first server just fine.
Am assuming it is a firewall configuration issue - but I have tried turning off the firewall briefly and testing it - but it still doesn't work. The same applies to emails sent from within packages such as Joomla and Drupal (ie - new account emails)
Any ideas anyone?
Many thanks,
Andrew

Hi ClassicII
I really needed to get this working, so I have spent the last few days frantically searching for solutions and 'think' I have got it working.
Before I tell you how - a caveat. I am no expert by any means - so please tread carefully!
It seems that (and please correct me if I am wrong any experts that happen to be reading this) the mail service is actually used to send the notifications. I had switched this off to test, but it seems as if it starts momentarily when needed to send the notification then shuts down if it is not used for a while.
Therefore, the mail service does need to be configured. I don't use my server as an email server, so I only configured SMTP (not POP, nor IMAP) within mail.
So, within server admin :
go to the mail service for your server
Stop the mail service.
Settings tab - then general
Set domain name & host name to the domain name of your server (including subdomain)
Tick "Enable SMTP"
Un-tick "allow incoming mail", "Hold outgoing mail", "Relay outgoing mail" etc.
Start the mail service.
Then give it a try! You can always type echo "Hello" | mail -s "Test" youremailaddress at a command line to test.
Make sure your firewall is not blocking (I guess) port 25 outbound. I momentarily switched off my firewall service to test. Also, it could be that your ISP themselves block port 25 to stop people setting up mail servers.
One thing I found (through trial and error) is that if something is not correctly set up - it may work the first few times - but then stop with an error in the log (look in the SMTP Logs from within the mail service). This led to a few false dawns - but it has been running for 40 minutes and is still going. I now receive email notifications and my Drupal sites can send mail.
I went through a lot of trial and error / editing php.ini and main.cnf (to no avail) before getting this to work!
Hope it helps - let me know!
Andrew

Email notifications not being received

Email notifications are not being received every time a customers submits data. We stopped receiving notifications after the email came about shutting down the service. We have a half dozen forms live on the web and none of them are sending out notifications. One example is located at Online Complaint | ORCAA. Nothing has changed from the backend and both email addresses that should receive notifications are verified.
I submitted data to the form and received a notification, but not the 2 email addresses that are listed on the FormsCentral backend. The Adobe domain is whitelisted with GApps.
Thoughts?

I've tested your form a bit and it seems that email receipts are working. For me to test email notifications I would need to be a co-author. If you can add me to one of the problem forms I will investigate further and let you know what I find.
