Approval Workflow - How to stop Approval Process after one Approve?

I currently have a approval workflow for announcements. There are two approvers assigned to the workflow with the serial setting. How do I end the approval work process after one of the two persons approve? Currently, if one person approves, I have a "In
Progress" status under the status column.
Here is the text-based editor view of my workflow:
f Current Item:Body not equals Current Item:PriorBody
Start Approval process on Current Item with User1; User2
Else if Current Item:PriorWorkflow equals Approved
Set workflow status to Approved
If Current Item:PriorWorkflow equals Rejected
Set workflow status to Rejected
Any tips are welcomed. I have found that Nintex released a workflow that addresses this, but I would like to work around that if possible.

Hi David,
Yes, I created the workflow based on SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform. You can have a look at the screenshoot:
Thanks,
Eric

How to stop a process after it was started with Process.Start

I want my program to run other programs, but I also want the User to be able to stop the running program from within my program. How do you keep track of what program Process.Start has run?

The Start(String...) or Start(StartInfo) methods of the Process class are functions that return a Process object that you can then use to manage the process that you started, for instance to stop it with .Kill.

How to Stop the process chain if it in the middle of the process?

Hi,
Is there anyway that i can stop the process chain if it is in the middle of the process already?
Raj

"Hi,
First and foremost let me advice you to be very careful while doing this.
You can start from SM37, find the process WID/PID then go to SM50 or SM51 and kill it. Once its done come back to RSMO and check the request, it should be red but again manually force to red and save by clicking on the total status button in the status tab. This shuld ensure that the process is killed properly.
The next step will be to go to targets that you were loading and remove the red requests from those targets.
Note: For source system loads you may have to check if the request is running in the source system and kill if needed and pull it again.
But for BW datamart delta loads u may have reset the datamarts in case u are going to pull the delta again.
Different Ways to stop process chain
1)SM37 -->Kill Job
2)SM50/sm66- ->Kill process
3)RSPC>Job Log>Make the process RED forecefully.
4)RSPC>Process chain> main Menu"Remove from Scheduling" OR
5)se37-->RSPC_API_CHAIN_INTERRUPT
give RFC BW system name(technical) and process chain name(technical)
Steps 1 -3 stops the chain running in process
Steps 4-5 stops the chain AFTER the current job which is running is completed as sucessful or Failure by nature.
Rationale - 4-5
This function will only remove the jobs from schedule, which did not yet run. It will not kill running jobs, as this may leave the system in an inconsistent state, moreover killing processes is possible for synchronous processes only anyhow. This means, that there will be no errors with interrupted chains, which on the other
hand means an interrupted chain is not restartable. So for a running chain this function is intended to be an emergency break only. You can use it, however, to remove a scheduled chain from schedule, such that it does not start except by your product.

THANKS

Hi,
First and foremost let me advice you to be very careful while doing this.
For Rescheduling
RSPC> chain > Goto > Planning view and
click on Execution tab > select > Remove from Schedule and then in Maintain variant of start process reschedule for the day you require it to run.
For terminating active chain
You can start from SM37, find the process WID/PID then go to SM50 or SM51 and kill it. Once its done come back to RSMO and check the request, it should be red but again manually force to red and save by clicking on the total status button in the status tab. This shuld ensure that the process is killed properly.
The next step will be to go to targets that you were loading and remove the red requests from those targets.
Note: For source system loads you may have to check if the request is running in the source system and kill if needed and pull it again.

How to stop update notification for one app (iMovie) that I do not want to update

How to stop update notification for one app (iMovie) that I do not want to update. I do not want iMovie 10 taking up nearly 3 gb on my hard disc. iMovie 9 is just fine and only takes up 1.5 gb. But I get notifications to update and don't know how to turn it off. I've gone into the Purchases tab of the App store and deleted it. I don't want to turn off Update notifications (which is irrelevant in any case because I see no option to do that in Notifications system preference pane). I just don't want to be bugged about iMovie updates. The only option I'm given is to postpone the next reminder until the next morning. -- Franklin

How to stop user doesn't have "approver" to approve PR from "forward"

When we have an issue from our customers that an approver forward via email to the user doesn't have "approve" right. But this use be cable to approve this PR. Is there profile or setting to stop this ?
we are using EBS 12.0.1 and database 11.1. Hope some one can shed lights on us.
Thanks,
Albert

Sanjay,
Our issue is when any approver used "forward" function from Gmail or any mail program and send the PR to an user. This user doesn't have any approval right ,but this user can open this mail from "forward" and she clicks "approve" button from the bottom of this email and send "approve" action back to Oracle EBS. After a few minutes we went to database to check this status of PR is approved by "Approver" but not by this user.
Thx.

How to stop a process in a process chain?

Hi
I've got a process chain that calls several processes. It's still running one of the processes but I want to stop the two that will run after (as it is now in the day time and they will impact on performance in our R3 system).
I've looked on SM37 but when I put in BI_* nothing comes up. Do anyone know how I can stop these processes from running before they start ?
Thanks in advance
Sandra

Hi Sandra,
Just goto the process types that are supposed to run afterwards... and rt click select released job-> select the job and press shift + F6 (from scheduled state to release state)
If u observe in PC now after refreshing this step will not be green (grey meaning not scheduled to run)
similar for other.
thanks

write : / lt_Attr-WEEKDAY_L.
read table lt_attr index 1.
if lt_Attr-WEEKDAY = '3' . "3 Stands for 3rd day of week i.e. Wednesday
message 'Process chains not to be run on wednesday' type 'E'.

Make sure that this ABAP program is linked to other processes only on "Success",
Hope that helps.

How to stop refreshing jsp after a period of time

Dear all,
Anyone has idea of how to stop jsp page refreshing after I get result from Backend?
I am using META tag to do refreshing in jsp: HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="60
After I got the result from back end, say after there's a "status" bean property changed from "processing" to
"successful".The refreshing activity is disabled?Any good way to do that?

Why don't you use listener to listen to changed events within your application and set you refresh status flag up when changes occur

How to stop threads, process, streams when closing a (internal) JFrame?

Dear all,
I read a Javaworld article about Runtime.exec(), which will output the process outputs and error outputs to either a file or System.out. Now I want to practice it by outputing the process output/error to a Swing JTextArea. It works fine if the process ends successfully.
My problem is that I want to stop all the output threads and clear all the streams when user click close JFrame button before the process finished. The code is shown below. Note that this frame is poped up by a click from another main frame. ( it is not exiting the main Swing application). This happened when I want to kill a process when it is running.
I tried to implements a WindowListener and add
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) to the JFrame.
Inside this method I used process.destroy() and errorGobbler = null, outputGobbler = null, or outputGobbler.interrupt(), errorGobbler.interrupt(). But all these seems does not work. Sometimes thread was not stopped, sometimes process was not destroyed (because the stream was still print out something), sometimes the error stream was not successfully closed - by printing out interruptted by user error message.
How can I make sure all the underlying streams and threads, including the PrintStream in StreamGobbler class are closed?
Again this Frame could be a Dialog or InternalFrame, i.e, when I close the frame, the main frame does not exit!
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
class StreamGobbler extends Thread
    InputStream is;
    String type;
    OutputStream os;
    StreamGobbler(InputStream is, String type, JTextArea out)
        this(is, type, null, out);
    StreamGobbler(InputStream is, String type, OutputStream redirect, JTextArea out)
        this.is = is;
        this.type = type;
        this.os = redirect;
    public void run()
        try
            PrintWriter pw = null;
            if (os != null)
                pw = new PrintWriter(os);
            InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
            String line=null;
            while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)

                    pw.println(line);
                out.append(type + ">" + line);
            if (pw != null)
                pw.flush();
        } catch (IOException ioe)

        output = new JTextArea();
        try

            Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
            Process proc = rt.exec("java jecho 'Hello World'");

                StreamGobbler(proc.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT", fos, out);
            errorGobbler.start();
            outputGobbler.start();
            int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
            output.append("ExitValue: " + exitVal);
            fos.flush();
            fos.close();

Thread.interrupt() doesn't stop a thread. You'll have to read the API for more specifics. You could use something like interrupt to force interruption of the thread for the reason of checking the terminating case though. I believe you would want to use this in the case where operations can take a long time.
Setting your reference to the thread to be null won't stop the thread since it's running. You just lose your reference to it.
I believe once the thread stops running your streams will be closed, but possibly not cleanly. Someone who has more knowledge of threads might be able to answer this better, but I would generally say clean up after yourself especially if you are writting out data.
