Approval Management/ Workflow in Appraisals

Hi All
I am implementing Approval Management in Appraisals functionality. Workflow process name is HR_APPRAISAL_DETAILS_JSP_PRC. Issue I am facing is in this workflow process it does not passivate any value.
If I want to manipulate some field in it like Feedback comments or some thing and base on which I will have to send the notification then it is not possible, as the values are not stored in database yet and neither in the hr_api_transaction_values table.
Can you pls tell how can I achieve this.
Regards
Gaurav

Hi,
My user want to use R/3 only for leave management section. we have no portal.
will this workflow would work fine in this case? if so how do i proceed to get it configured?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Babu

11I - PO DOCUMENT APPROVAL MANAGER FAIL 시의 기능 개선 사항.
====================================================
PURPOSE
PO Document Approval Manager Fail 시의 기능 개선 사항에 대한 검토.
Explanation
PO 를 승인하였으나 Status 가 In-Processs 인 경우가 발생할 수있다. 이런
경우는 보통 PO Document Approval Manager 가 정지되었거나, Workflow 에서
Error 가 발생한 경우가 일반적이다.
이런 경우의 처리 방법은 Workflow Sysadmin 권한으로 Login 하여 Retry 하거
나, wfretry.sql 을 수행하여 문제가 발생한 workflow 의 진행을 재시도 하
게 된다.
Procurement Family Pack F 에서는 이같은 재시도를 자동으로 수행하는 기능
이 추가되었으며 아래의 방법으로 설정할 수있다.
1) How to Implement This New Feature:
- Apply 11i.PRC_PF.F (Procurement Family Pack F) AND one-off
patch 1942091
- Procurement Family Packs G and higher
2) Technical Details:
a) Dodument manager 에 관련된 Error 를 처리하기 위하여 새로운
Purchasing Item Type 인 "POERROR" 이 추가되었다.
POERROR item type 에 대하여 아래의 workflow attribute 가 define 되었
으며 이 값들을 설정하여야 한다.
관련 Attribute 들은 아래와 같으며 Business 환경에 맞게 적절한 값으로
설정한다.
DOC_MGR_WAIT_RELATIVE_TIME Length of time, in minutes, processes
will have to wait before getting picked
again.
Default = 0
RETRY_COUNT Number of attempts to get document
manager for approval.
Default = 0
TIMEOUT_VALUE Length of time, in minutes, for
notification automatically close itself.
Default = 0
SYSADMIN_USER_NAME Application user (typically the System
Administrator) who can receive
notifications for document manager-
related errors in status 1 and 2.
YOU MUST DEFINE THIS MANUALLY TO A VALID
USERNAME.
b) POERROR item type 에 대하여 Workflow Background Processor 가 주기적으
로 수행되어야 한다.
document manager 에 대한 재시도 횟수는 아래의 요소에 의해 결정된다.
- Attribute DOC_MGR_WAIT_RELATIVE_TIME
- WorkFlow Background engine wait period
c) Approval mode 와 관계없이 POERROR 를 처리할 Workflow Background
process 가 수행되어야 하며, wait time 후에 해당 process를 재시도하게
된다. Background engine 이 start 되면 document approve 를 다시 시도하
게된다. User 는 status 1 와 2 errors 에 대해서는 Notification 을 받
지 않으며, status 3 error 는 User 에게 Notification 을 보내게 된다.
(Sysadmin 에게 발송되지 않음.)

Oracle Workflow configuration in ADF for Approval Management

Hi,
Is there anyway to integrate the oracle workflow with ADF application so that we can have approval process also just like Self Service transaction.
If not then how can we achive the approval management in ADf based application.
Thanks,
Tarun

Tarun,
There are no "steps" per se. You develop an application, and in that application you can use the workflow API's to do stuff. The app we built encapsulated everything into PL/SQL stored procedures, so we just called stored procs from service methods in ADF application modules to do what we needed to do. Sorry I don't ahve anything more detailed to share, but it really is just "develop a custom application that happens to use workflow APIs." If you had a specific question, I'd be happy to try to answer.
I did not try to use AME, so I cannot comment on that. As far as I know, the "classic" Oracle Workflow product has been desupported for use in standalone applications, so if I were doing this today, I would not be developing new applications using Oracle Workflow, but would be using the capabilities in SOA Suite.

Create one workflow ( 2 level approval - manager and financial manager). An

Hi
I have requirement to Create one workflow ( *2 level approval - manager and financial manager).* And escalate it after 1 day to Financial manager's supervisor
I have no idea about escalation through BPEL Compoiste in OIM
Can please any help me out

The status can be alerted and the task assigned to weblogic due to a fault in your process. Without looking at your process or the exception, it can be difficult to say what went wrong, but check if you have the user in the system to whom you are trying to assign the task to.
As for escalation, you need to go through that link to configure escalations and in escalations you can select management chain as the route. This would escalate it to manager's manager if the manager does not work on the request for specified time. For other requirements around escalation, you will have to first get a basics right and working for you. Once you are done with that, you can post here any questions which you might have about making the complex ones and we can try to help.

Problem with approving standard workflows.

We are testing workflows in Content DB prior to initiating a larger project. We have defined a serial approval workflow for uploading a file to a folder. When a file is uploaded, the approver can see the request but is not given the possibility to approve or reject the request.
The approver has been granted "approval" role with standard permissions "Set Attributes, Set Metadata, Discover, Lock, Get Metadata, Get Content, Set Content, Copy".
What can be missing in our setup that blocks for approving in workflows?

A few things to check:
1) That a message appears (briefly) on the outbound advanced queue (IFS_OUT) when the workflow is triggered. You can perform a "select * from ifs_out_table;" You need to be quick though.
However, if there is a build up of messages on the queue, but none are being removed, it would appear the Oracle Workflow process is not running.
2) If the message appears on the queue (briefly), then disappears, workflow is correctly dequeing the message.
In order for the approve/reject buttons to become visible in the Content DB Web UI, Oracle Workflow must repond on the inbound queue (IFS_IN) with seperate "notification" messages for each of the applicable responders.
If "orcladmin" was a responder for the worflow, a queue message may look like :-
IFS Queue Message Details:
Message Type: IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_NID
IFS Queue Message Parameters:
IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_PROCESSID=48799 (STRING)
IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_RESPONDER=ORCLADMIN (STRING)
IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_NID=3 (STRING)
You will thus need to monitor the inbound queue table (IFS_IN_TABLE) - and see if Worflow is responding to the request with these responder notifications.
If workflow is not returning notifications for each responder of the original request, then the Workflow process has failed / or is not running. You will need to check with the Oracle Workflow guys on how to debug workflow further.
If however, the notification messages are on the IFS_IN queue, but are not being removed, it means the Content DB agent responsible for processing inbound queue messages is not running.
The agent responsible for this is the InboundQueueListenerAgent. Check the Content DB node log file and search for entries relating to oracle.ifs.management.servers.InboundQueueListenerAgent
You will notice a table in the Content DB schema named odm_responder
SQL> desc odm_responder;
Name Null? Type
ID NOT NULL NUMBER(20)
REQUEST NUMBER(20)
RESPONDERUSER NUMBER(20)
RESPONSE NUMBER(1)
RESPONSEDATE NUMBER(20)
NOTIFICATIONID NUMBER(20)
For a particular responder to see approve/reject buttons for a particular request, I believe the notificationid value has to be non-null.
BTW - the message on the IFS_OUT queue will look something like :-
Q_NAME MSGID
CORRID
PRIORITY STATE
DELAY
EXPIRATION
TIME_MANAGER_INFO
LOCAL_ORDER_NO CHAIN_NO CSCN DSCN
ENQ_TIME
ENQ_UID ENQ_TID
DEQ_TIME

IFSQUEUEMESSAGEPARAMETER('IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_MINNOVOTES', '1', 'STRING'),
IFSQUEUEMESSAGEPARAMETER('IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_PROCESSID', '43446', 'STRING')))
Workflow must return a notification id message for each person listed in the IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_RESPONDERS queue parameter.
in the case above, the requesters are "ASLAM, CONTENTADMIN, ORCLADMIN"
Using the request id from above ..
SQL> select responderuser from content.odmv_responder where request = 43436;
RESPONDERUSER
38503
...etc
select name from odmv_publicobject where id = 38503
NAME
orcladmin
select notificationid from content.odmv_responder where request = 43591;
NOTIFICATIONID
notice the notificationid is NULL - meaning approve/reject buttons would not be visible
cheers

Thanks Andy,
I have googled activating workflow approvals in SP2013. However the sites I have read, refer to activating a feature that is not there on my server. So not sure how I should be doing this.
I have spent days looking into this. Is there an article somewhere that explains how to do this.
I will read up on people picker, it looks a little more complicated than I think setting up a document approval should be.
I only want the approver to be 1 of about 10 people. Is there any way just to set a simple list to pick the approver from?

Vacancy Approval Custom Workflow

Hi All,
Purpose: approval process for all job vacancies, this approval process will be based off the approval chain entered in the dff segments on the 'Requisition and Vacancy' screen in the core application. The workflow process should start at attribute 1 and work thru the remaining populated attribute values till the last approver name.
The DFF for the screen is the Additional Vacancy Details. There are 7 segments setup for the approval chain, however not all segments will be populated for every vacancy approval.
Can you please give brief idea how to customize the vacancy approval workflow for aboverequirement. can we use Approval Management, is it support 7 approver levels?
Please suggest..Thanks.
Regards,
Prasad Raju

Hi,
Think there is still confusion on 'where' you want an approval.
Vacancies created in core HRMS are saved automatically, thus AME (Approvals Management) is not going to solve your issue. This is based on transactions that do not commit until approval has been gained.
e.g. Creating a Vacancy in iRecruitment
I'm guessing you want saved vacancies to start an approval chain (based on names in the DFF) and then when all approvers have approved, the 'Status' field in Core HRMS is automatically updated to 'approved'.
I presume you are making this Status field read-only for HRMS users creating the vacancies
Is this correct?

Travel Management workflow WS20000050.

Hi
I am using Travel Management workflow WS2000050. The workflow works fine in ourdev system But in PRD when the superior resends the work item back for corrections, in the traveller login, when the traveller tries to open the work item, it opens the Travel Expense screen instead of the Travel request which is up for correction.
Any idea ?
Your help is appreciated.
Regards
PN

Hi,
Check this Note:370687. Looks like your problem.
<b>Symptom</b>
You would like to use the standard workflow WS20000050 'Approve travel request' with the travel request of Transaction TRIP.The following errors occur:
If the travel request is approved in the workflow (or in Transaction PR05), the status in the overview of Transaction TRIP stays 'Request recorded' (only in Release 4.6C);
<b> * If the travel request is changed by the receiver of the workflow, Transaction PR05 is called up instead of Transaction TRIP;</b>
If a generated travel request is changed with Transaction TRIP, the system triggers no 'Changed' event;
If an approved travel request is changed with Transaction TRIP, the status of the travel request is not reset (only Release 4.6B);
If an approved travel request is changed with Transaction PR05, the status of the travel request in Tansactin TRIP is not reset (only Release 4.6C);
Events are triggered several times when you save the travel request;

SAP CRM Approval Management

Hi Experts,
We are trying to implement the functionality for Approval Management, in CRM 7 EHP2. We followed the documentation on SAP Help as mentioned below and the IMG help.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm700_ehp02/helpdata/en/8a/5283bda2364bc09ffc7aa84f48bc72/frameset.htm
My only query is: Is this functionality only meant for "Service Requests" or for others such as Sales Orders?
There is no such restriction mentioned anywhere in SAP Help or IMG documentation, however, during implementation, we saw that there was no assignment block for "Approval Procedure" for the sales order, but is present for the Service Request, and works very well.
We are able to assign the "Approval Procedure" to the Sales Order transaction type in SPRO, though.
Are we missing something, or is it a future functionality that is partially implemented in EHP2?
Thanks & Regards,
Nelson.

Hi,
You can assign the approval process for other transaction apart from Service request.
We had did the same approval process for CRM pricing approval in one of our project. We linked a workflow for the approval process.

OIM approval / provisioning workflows

Hi All
I have a query about OIM approval / provisioning workflows.
Application X (e.g. Active Directory) has an OOTB connector which can provision the user and manage his role in the application. The user can raise request for role change via OIM Admin console.
My query - Can I configure access policy/user group for creation of a base user identity in the application X. This will create user identities for all users in application X without any roles. Later user should be able to request for roles and upon approval, his role should be updated in application X.
Can this scenario can be implemented with any OOTB connector with provisioning and role approval workflows in place. Do you see any complexity in this. Please provide your comments.

The base provisioning van be done using access policies.
If you want request based role management in pre OIM 11g you would have to do it over custom ROs. There are a couple of ways to do this.
The easiest way to do is to combine the approaches in these two postings and create a custom RO that moves the user into an OIM group that has an attached access policy that manipulates the child table on the base target system RO.

Please take a look and see if this is understandable. I probably should write another entry that addresses this specific use case.

Scanner calibration for colour-managed workflow

I would like to do a decent calibration of my Epson V750 Pro scanner to achieve a colour-managed workflow. I have the latest version X-Rite i1 Photo Pro 2 calibration kit, and although this enables me to calibrate my monitor and printer, it does not support scanner calibration. I do have Silverfast Ai Studio which includes a scanner calibration facility - is that the best available to me or are there any other options, possibly using the i1 spectrophotometer as I know that it used to be possible to carry out calibration with the older versions of that equipment? Other than that, I'm using an Espon 3880 printer, running Vista x64 and using Photoshop CS5.

Mike is probably right, the Epson profiles available in the Epson scanner sw are close enough. I;ve never seen any ******** about scanner output in this forum.
