Approval Form - "No selected agents"

I've completed a saptechnical Form Demo exerciseand it runs successfully, however I do not receive a work item in Business Workplace. When I forward navigate into the Workflow Log and select display Agents, I get the message "No selected agents".
I'm new at this client, who still run 4.7c, and had to run SWU3 to set up the initial Workflow Steps. After this I was at least able to create some demo workflows, but don't get any emails in the inbox. The only emails I get is as administrator for IDOC failures. In the example I mentioned, I set up the agent either as USER &MYUID& or as Expression &_WF_INITIATOR&. Neither of these options ever spawn an error or an email? HR is not set up at all, but would this be the cause of my problem? I'm wondering if it would be a requirement for the user to have a corresponding P0105 entry? I think not, but it's worth a mention.
Best regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
Have a look at note 1098805 section [1] regarding agent assignment and how it works.
Make sure the agent assignment returns a users or users (Responsible agents)
Make sure you have users assigned to your task (Possible agents)
Whatever users are common to both will be the selected agents and will receive the work item. If no users are common to both the Responsible & Possible then no agents will be assigned.

Eddie

Re: Help needed in passing values from workflow to Approve Forms

Dear Experts,
how do I pass values from a workflow to a step (Form) - approve form?
I am using a customized table structure as my data source (FORMCONTAINERELEMENT) but am stuck on how to access the data when i get to to the screen painter's flow logic... What am i missing? Can you give me a step by step example. the ones i see on the net are input fields that update the screen... nothing that shows value being passed from the outside.
I need to pass an exisitng value in the workflow into the form for approval of the the assigned agent.
Please help!!
Thank you.

Hello !
         Create a method just before the form step.This method should populate the values for the fields maintained in the form.
         Pass the values populated from this method to your customized table structure (data source).In other words, you have to pass all the values to the workflow container.
        To the step, pass this workflow container by binding.In the control tab of form step, you have to do the binding.

How to add custom variable on approval form?

Hi,
I am tring to do multi-level approval for the role assignment using my custom approval form.
For that i have created a WF and this workflow calls approval subprocess which intern uses the Custom Approval form.
In WF i am passing newly selected role as variable to my Approval Subprocess. Now Approval Subprocess assigns this to the first level manager by displaying this new role on approval form. Manager1 is able to see this new role and approves role assignment.
Now this Role has Approver(Which was defined during the role definition). so it automatically goes to RoleApprover for approval using custom Approval form. Now the problem is i am not able to see my custom variable value in the Approval form for RoleApprover. its showing it as null. But where is in case of manager approval it is showing.
Can anyone through somelight on this to display a WF variable(newrole) in Approval form.
The one reason that i could think of is RoleApprover approval process is triggered by Configurator as WFOWNER hence all the session variables are killed.Is there any workaround?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks
Kris

I got the solution, using the session. Thank you.

Customize Approval Form to add custom fields using SharePoint Designer

Hi,
i have a created a Custom approval workflow using SharePoint Designer 2010. This is two steps approval WF, All i did put the variable "CancelonRejection" Value "Yes" and one Approval action with 2 different users as Serial. Right now
Status, Requested by, Consolidated comments and comment fields are available on the approval form. Now i want to add some fields with radio buttons on Approval Form, so that 1st approver can select those radio/check box. Once 1st approver will approved this
then display all the values on 2nd approver approval from or send email to 2nd approver along with all the information from 1st approver.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to customize Approval Form to add custom fields using SharePoint Designer.
In the SharePoint Designer, you can customize the task form.
Here is a great article for your reference:
Creating Custom Workflow Task Approval Forms with SharePoint Designer 2010
However, every task can only have one task form.
That is to say, the two approvors will have the same task form.
As a workaround, I recommend to customzie the task form using InfoPath.
You can create different view for the approvors.
You need to add form load rules to swich views based on the approvors.

Create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box

HELP!!! Can anyone please provide some guidance on how to create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box.
I have a form which – based on the department that's selected from a drop-down box – will have different form fields/text boxes, etc, made available.
Is this possible in LiveCycle, if so, can you please provide the script/info - as needed.
Thanks,

In the preOpen event of the second dropdown list you put something like (in formCalc):
if (dropdown1 == 1) then
$.clearItems()
$.setItems("Year, 2 Year, 3 Year")
elseif (dropdown1 == 2) then
$.clearItems()
$.setItems("3 Year, 4 Year")
endif

How can we get the Latest Resource Assigned in the Approval Form

I was wondering if there is any way to get the Latest Assigned Resources to a User in my Approval Form.
I tried this <ref>waveset.resourceAssignments</ref> but it returned all the Resources assigned to a User. While creating a User with Resource Assigned it won�t be problem. While Update when a User is assigned a Resource & it comes for Approval to the owner, all the Previously assigned resources shows up. How can I get only the Latest Resource Assigned.
Can anyone provide some hints on this..

idm_guy, if you could elaborate more on what you mean with latest resource assigned it would help - but there are a number of options (if i interprent you correctly to solvethis). My guess is that the easiest way would be to determine if:
waveset.accounts[<iterate through resources>].created = true or false
and if
waveset.accounts[<resource>].lastPasswordUpdate = <last updated date>
The latter is of course only applicable to resource where you set a password. This value will be updated whenever you set the password and could be a possible value to check against.
If the account is not created yet but assigned it might be another possibility to check, but again - clairfy a bit about what you mean with "Latest Resource Assigned".

Apex 3.2 Tabular form - dynamic selection based on prev selection

Hi guys,
I am using apex 3.2. I am having difficulty in setting up a tabular form which provides an option to record information in other columns based on a value selected in the drop down.Here is an example
I have a table product. All the products are added using a tabular form by selecting type from a drop down list.
This allows the user to add multiple products without having to press save each time.
e.g.
product | type
monopoly | game
vase | home
coffee | food
cards | game
Depending on the product type, I want the user to be able to multi-select other options using checkboxes based on the option selected.
So for example if they add a product of type food, it should give additional options like beverage, cereal etc. If they select game, then they should get other options like for age_groups 10-12; 12-16; 18 and over;
Is it posisble to do this on a tabular form in apex 3.2?
If yes, please can someone help.
Thanks

How to populate a field on the Self Registration Approval Form?

Hello,
I have a field named SSN (last 4 digits of the SSN) that a self registered user must fill in during self registration. After the user submits the request, the request is submitted to a reviewer.
This reviewer logs in and accesses the Self Registration Approval Form for that particular request. I would like to display the possible returned values of SSN that I query from HR based on the requester's firstname, middlename, and lastname. This will allow the reviewer to verify the requester's identity. If the entered SSN does not match the displayed SSN, the reviewer can take the proper action.
How can this be accomplished?
I looked into the prepopulate rule generator adaptor. But I don't have a form to attach the adaptor to it since the approval form is an ootb form.
Thanks

Yes, I did.
In the adapter I mapped the adapter return value to the output of the java code (Get SSN).
In the User Registration Process Definition, I have a non conditional task named Get SSN. I mapped the requestID to the request Key and the adapter return value to the field on the self registration form (using User Definition field).
But the value did not show up in that field...

Adding Attributes to Approval Form

Hi,
I've customised IDM 8.1 to fire off an approval to IdmManager if a user updates their own attributes. I want to customise the Approval Form displayed to the approver to show only the attributes that have been updated by the user.
I see the Approval Form has an "approvalAttributes" variable which can be passed in to define which attributes are displayed. I also see that this list can be configured by adding attributes on the "Server Tasks -> Configure Tasks -> Update User Template -> Approvals" tab. What I can't see is where this list of attributes is stored when you add new ones. Does anybody know? If I knew this I hope I could customise the object to push out a dynamically generated list of attributes, rather than a static list.
Thanks,
Paul

Solved - they're kept, somewhat unsurprisingly, in the "Update User Template" object. I was confused by the "Template Library Repository" appearing to store a very similar list which gets polled every time the form is loaded, but editing this appears to have no bearing on anything.

Open system form and select a row number on matrix by click on button

Hi experts,
I have to open the purchase order form and select a specific row number from the matrix by clicking a button on sales order form.
is it possible ?
can anyone help me to achieve it?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Andrea

Andrea,
To Do? Clicking on a Button on Sales Order -> Opens a PO form, and selects the row?
In the eventhandler of a button click if the PO is not linked to SO by SAP B1 standard functionality
step 1. call ActivateMenu ("2305") of Sbo_application , this opens the PO form
step 2. Change the form to Find mode
step 3. enter po number to the Item UID "8" which is the document number.
step 4. Send enter key, or Clikc On button UID "1" which finds the PO
step 5.read the value from SO form, from matrix "38" line where you selected
step 6. use the code above to locate the line in PO (use # column for position numbers which UID is 0)
at step 5, i think you should select a line from SO matrix which you would like to open.
IN sales order, If you used PO chekcbox on logistics tab to create the PO, you can find a direct link between PO and SO (only in docentries are linked not positions) on sales order, Column UID 158 field name: potrgnum. If this connection is exists, you have an easy way:
SO form, when a user clicks on COlumn 158 (po number), you can implement an eventhandler, which
step 1.read the value from SO form, from matrix "38" line where you selected
step 2. use the code above to locate the line in PO (use # column for position numbers which UID is 0)
By processing theses steps, you can build up you solution.

bhakti

Hi,
If it is not HCM Process and forms then Iam not very much sure, But anyways you can check out the below task Ids for
1. Edit Form - TS17900100
2. Approve - TS17900101
And Also I do not think if you are planning to use above taskids then in that case you should use them based on the context.
for more information about the above task IDS

Form Template Selection

Hi,
Working on the Outgoing check form template. Tested looks fine in Test system. But When I tried the same template in the production it shows no template available for outgoing checks.
Even it did not allow to edit output settings options where can choose any other template.
For some reasons it doesn't show the form template for outgoing check at all even though Form template selection setup correctly.
Any idea why Payment Management - Payment monitor not showing the any template available for outgoing checks.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vir,
Is this adobe form template If yes,
-go to WorkCenter "Application and user Management"->Utilities and look for the form template in the Form's OWL (I don't remember the subview name for the OWL). If you do not find any relevant active template, check active or deleted section.
If you delete the current active custom template, then it should automatically be replaced by SAP's default template for that use case , if any.
Let me know if this helped.
Regards,
Damandeep

Valuation Price issue in PR Approval form

Hi,
We have a PR with multiple line items and different valuation price.
But in the PR approval form, the valuation price is showing only the line item 1's valuation price, not
total valuation price of the all items.
Can any one help me how to show the valuation price as sum of the all line items values.
Thanks in advance
Rajeev

Dear Rajeev,
Please check in spro whether system is configured for Item level or Header level release.
check the tick sign at Release group.
For item level release system considers the value of line item and for header level release system takes the total value of line items.
please go through this link

Error: No selected agent. Actually the agents are defined

Hi Experts,
In my workflow at one of the steps, the work item does not come to agents' inbox. In the LOG when i try to check agents I get the message "No selected agents".
In WF definition nothing is defined as responsible agents. the field is empty.
I tried to define the task as general task or to write down some user or org unit as possible agents. The result is the same.
There are no selected agents in the log.
Do anyone have any idea?
Thanks a lot,
Nina

hi,
"No selected agents".comes when for a dialog task have no agent assigned or when possible agent is not configured means you hav not make general task .
if after doing this too the dialog task show the same error , then run "SWU_OBUF" , this will refresh the system.
let me know if it helps

Why is the FORM OBJECT selection not found in the Preferences/Accessibility selection?

Hello,
I am using the Dreamweaver cs6. I was wondering why the FORM OBJECT selection is not found in the Preferences/Accessibility selection?

The engineers removed it. Why? That's anybody's guess. You'll have to add them manually. Please refer to the HTML5 forms workflow video below:
