Approval Groups for Learner Enrolments

Hi
I want to create an approval rule that approves the enrolment of a learner only using a specified approver group. I do not want any supervisory approval or post/pre list approval, just the approver group. Is this possible? has anyone got any samples?
James

This is possible, as you can build your own approval rules .

Please start the report RSWOGIND, set also the checkbox "generate all

Human Workflow email notification to a distribution list when assigned to an approval group

Hi All,
is there a way to send the notification email to an email distribution list when a task is assigned to an approval group instead of sending individuals emails to each member?
As of now HW config is sending individual emails to each member of the approval group when the task is assigned to that approval group, for some approval groups (not all) they want the notification emails be sent to a distribution list, also we are using the actionable emails - so far it's working fine - the only thing is that the recipient of the actionable emails should be a dist list, is this even possible?
thanks in advance

Hi,
From your description, some users that are not the dynamic distribution group members receive the messages that are sent to the dynamic distribution groups. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
In your case, I recommend you use the following cmdlets to verify the members of this dynamic distribution group at first.
$MarketingGroup = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup "Marketing Group"
Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $MarketingGroup.RecipientFilter -OrganizationalUnit $MarketingGroup.OrganizationalUnit
Hope it helps.
Best regards,

Hi Amy,
Correct, some users that should and are filtered out from the DDL are receiving the emails.
I set the variable and ran the command you provided and got consistent results to the "filter preview" in EMC, the particular user that is filtered out in both membership preview method is still receiving these emails!

AME iExpenses: Cannot create new approver group

We need to set up approver groups for iExpenses. I assigned myself Approvals Management Administrator and Aprovals Management Business Analyst roles. With these roles I can create new attributes and conditions. However, I cannot create new action types and approval groups. The create button for the approval group just does nothing.
What am I missing? We are 11.5.10.2, AME.B

Pl see if ML Doc 420387.1 (How to Create the Approval Transaction Type for AME.B or higher ?) can help

Parallel Approval for Approval Groups

I have a doubt in AME rules which can be created for the Payables Invoice Approval Transaction Type. I have to configure AME rule for the particular Scenario. (Issue is the item marked in red)
Scenario:-
Created a Line item attribute to get the value of minor account from invoice distribution line. SQL query for same is given below.
select glcc.segment3
from ap_invoice_distributions_all apd, gl_code_combinations glcc
where
apd.dist_code_combination_id=glcc.code_combination_id and
apd.invoice_id = :transactionId and apd.invoice_distribution_id in (select invoice_distribution_id
from ap_invoice_distributions_all
where invoice_id = :transactionId
order by apd.invoice_distribution_id
Created 2 conditions with this attribute, Minor1 - for segment3 17240 and Minor2 for segment3=44496
Created two different rules using these conditions (used two different approval groups, with one approver each in approval group)
I created an invoice with 2 distributions. First dist has minor 17240 (satisfying rule1) and second with minor 44496 (satisfying rule2)
I expected both these rules to be executed at the same time and e-mail to be sent to these approvers parallely (we tried to set order num in approval group to not unique and num=1. But it didnt work)
However, these rules are processed serially and notification is sent to second approver after first approver approves it.
We need to figure out a way, how notifications can be sent to both approvers (of different approval groups) at the same time also can item level approval be configured for approval groups?
I even tried Dual Chain of authority. But Dual Chain of authority is again for supervisory hierarchy. I also tried the pre-chain-of-authority approvals (which will be an approval group) along with the main approval group. But parallel processing was not possible.
Also tried the exception condition but could not obtain the desired functionality.
Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanking you in anticipation.

Did a little digging and it worked!

How to get list of approved MSU for specified target group

Hello guys,
I have question about WSUS on windows server 2008 r2 sp1.
I need to get list of approved MSU for specified target group only for windows server 2008 r2 sp1, but I don't know whole syntax.
I can get list of approved updates for w2k8r2sp1:
$Title_r2='R2'
$Itanium='Itanium'
$wsus.GetUpdates() | Select Title | Where {
$_.Title -match $Title_r2 -and $_.Title -notmatch $Itanium -and $_.IsApproved -eq 'True'
But how can I get it for specified target group?
Please, help :)

But how can I get it for specified target group?
Is there some reason you're not just using the native console reporting to do this?
Testing for 'R2' in the title will not guarantee getting all of the applicable updates, you need to query by Product Category to get all of them.
From my quick research, it appears that GetUpdates() does not return target group information, just a flag state on whether the update has been approved, or not. I don't have a working PS WSUS instance available to me at the moment, but my guess would be
that GetUpdateApprovals() (or something like it) is what you'll need to use to filter by Target Group.

Approval workflow for EBS responsibilties and AD Groups

Hi,
I need to trigger a workflow when user makes a self-service request for EBS responsibilities & AD groups.
Since, "Add responsibility" and "Add user to Group" are process tasks, how can we attach a workflow to process task? or we can acheive this by some other means.
Note that, system is already in place & users are already provisioned to AD & EBS, so, we cant go with solution of creating RO for either AD Groups or EBS responsibilty.
Thanks,
Raghu

Assuming your user can have only one Account for the target, then all you need on your request is the name of the group you want to add.
On your custom object, the request should only list the groups the user is requesting. If you want a single group per request, place the groups looking on the parent object form. If you want multiple groups per request, you will create a child table with the groups on it.
When the request process and approval is completed, your "Create User" code for this object or instead "Provision Groups" task which is unconditional, your code should search through the user's existing resource objects to find the valid one for their account in this target. Once the object is found, grab the process instance key, and using the APIs, add the group entries to the child table of the parent object. When the entries are inserted into the account object's child table, the "Insert" tasks will trigger. The adding of the child table entries will allow you to not make any modifications to your existing parent object because it will use all of it's current configurations to provision those new groups to the user account.
Step 1. Request is made for new groups.
Step 2. Approval is performed.
Step 3. Provisioning steps for new object searches for user's account resource instance and adds the new groups to that objects child table
Step 4. Insert tasks are triggered which will provision the new groups for the User.
All done.

WSUS - Approving Updates For Group Of Computers

It's a pretty straightforward process: Step 4: Approve and Deploy WSUS Updates
When you approve the updates, you choose which group. After my test group has run with the updates for a few days with no problems, I just approve for all computers.

First of all...I'm new to WSUS. My question...if you have a computer group for Test computers and approve a list of updates for them, is there an easy way to approve the same group of updates for another group of computers once the updates have been tested?
I have a GPO setup that I will apply to all computers and I have a GPO just for IT computers that I will use to test updates. Is that the correct way to do it?

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.

Approval workflow for creation of organization

Hi,
I need to configure an approval workflow for the creation of organization. When the admin tries to create a new org, the approval should go to a admin group. The org should get created only once approval is done. I have configured an approval workflow for the Xellerate Organization resource object. I have created an unconditional task where the assignment tab has the admin group. When I test it, the org gets created without going through the approval process. Could someone please tell me what am I missing?
Thanks,
Supreetha
Edited by: Supreetha on Jan 22, 2011 8:38 AM

You'll have to raise request for Dummy Organization. It's Order for Organization so will not appear for user.
I am not sure the full flow/complete requirement of your.
APMU, you want approval while creating Organization into OIM.
This is not possible OOTb when you create ORg in OIM.
You'll create 1 dummy Org
1 Dummy RO "OFO".
Attach one Object Form with this RO.
Raise request for Dummy Org and Give the name of Org on the object form for which you want approval.
In the provisioning workflow, use OIM API to create Org into OIM.
Done !!!

How to skip approving steps for users who are also approvers?

We have a business need to be able to skip the approving steps for the users who are also approvers.
For this following steps were followed :-
1) Open .task file and go into the Assignment tab. Double click on the performer box within the routing slip, this should open the "Edit Participant Type" editor. Expand the "Advanced" section and place a check next to "specify skip rule", then click the edit icon to the right. Now enter an XPath expression that will test whether the current user is equal to the task creator.
2) We used - isUserInRole XPath function in the "Identify Service Functions" dropdown - first param to function is the userID, the 2nd is the role name.
We tried with hardcoded userID as well as by using
ids:isUserInRole(/task:task/task:systemAttributes/task:updatedBy/task:id,'California')
where 'California' is the group name (as one of the forum threads told this function works with groups).
We also tried with swimlane roles(using bpm.getPerformer() function) but it does not work either.
Please let me know if any one has any solution to this problem.

session as DirectorySession = DirectorySession.currentEngineSession
dirHum as Fuego.Fdi.DirHumanParticipant = DirHumanParticipant.fetch(session : session, id : "myUserId")
result = hasRoleAssigned(dirHum, role : "Approver")Give that a try...

Purchasing group for free text SC

Hi everyone,
We have a requirement to change the purchasing group for free text & catalog SC's. We are using SRM 7.0. Normal procedure is to select the material from catalog, purchasing group is selected & once it is approved a PO is created.
But, now the requirement is that if a user is selecting a catalog material, then the selection of purchasing group should be restricted as per the business.
And if the SC is being created from Free text, then the purchaser's selection should be restricted to very few options in drop down.
Is it possible? I was thinking if the selection of purchasers could be restricted using BADI: BBP_PGRP_ASSIGN_BADI or BBP_PGRP_FIND BADI. But, there is no option for differentiation based on SC created using Catalog & SC's created from free text.
Can anyone please help me with this.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhakti

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for reply.
@Muthu: I explored the tables, but the only difference I could find between the catalog & free text SC materails is that the product id is missing for free text SC. Based on this I am unsure if any BADI can be used. Kindly let me know, if the BADI's can be called on this criteria.
@ Virendra: I doubt if that, that can be solution, since the product cataegory for free text cannot be fixed. It will depend on user requirement.
Pls help me to define the purcahsing groups for free text SC's.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhakti

Problem with Approval Group

Hi!
I have created an approval group using 3 Single Tiers.
When i run the process, and it is in the first tier, the first participant 'Reject' the task (I'm using an interface with ADF). After this, the process instance should finish, but, it continues the approval flow. Is that correct? I think that if the first participant reject the task, the approval flow should finish, isn't it?
Thanks for your attention.

Release Group for T code FBV1

Hi All,
I have a problem. If vendor/customer, I have assigned release group approval path in vendor/customer master data. But for transaction in Tcode FBV1, I cannot assigned release group approval path in FS00 (GL Account Master Data). I want to ask, where I can assigned release approval path for GL Account which can make Approval Path for FBV1?
Thanks,
John

Hi,
The message has explained the problem.
You cannot have two classes for the same document release and you are tryng to break this rule by adding another entry (the fact that you have give it a different release group does not make any difference this is still another class for the same document.)
You should be able to do what you want without the need for a new release group or additional class, after all everyone else that uses SAP is using one class per document.
Why diod you think that you needed another release group / class?
