Approver become Reviewer..

Hello Friends,
I have a requirement where i need to change the 1st approver to reviewer.. Let me say this way.. My workflow Badi find 5 approvers.. I have to force system to conceder the 1 approver as Reviewer.. like.. the 1st approver should shows as reviewer in the approver preview then remaining 4 approvers show as approvers.
is it possible to force by any badi or any other way.. please help me out..
thanks,
John.

Hello,
Yes - this does n't pull the reviewer if i order a cart without click the approval preview button. means.. in the step 3 - complete the Order screen there is the button called - Approval Preview.. if you click that before you order than review shows in the approval preview.. without clicking the button Approval Preview if you order the cart it won't bring the reviewer in the approval preview and also no workitem will send to the reviewer.. I think there is a link between Approval preview and this FM.. I tried to find but i couldn't...
Sonia,
Since you said this won't work. Do you have any other way to fix this issue.. waiting for your reply..

How to create a view for all Service Requests that are not approved by reviewer

Hallo,
I want to create a view in the Service Requests library that shows all SRs that are not approved. How to configure condition that says: if a SR has related Review Activity which is In Progress, show that SRs?
I couldn't find this when creating the view. Thank you.

So here's the first problem with that: Which review activity? a SR can contain multiple RAs, so how do we decide if an arbitrary SR is approved or not?
As to the specific language you use (Any child RA is In Progress) you might want to look at the criteria from the default Change approval view, which does something similar:
<QueryCriteria Adapter="omsdk://Adapters/Criteria" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/Criteria.xsd">
<Criteria>
<FreeformCriteria>
<Freeform>
<Criteria xmlns="http://Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Core.Criteria/">
<Expression>
<And>
<Expression>
<SimpleExpression>
<ValueExpressionLeft>
<Property>$Context/Path[Relationship='CoreActivity!System.WorkItemContainsActivity' TypeConstraint='CoreActivity!System.WorkItem.Activity.ReviewActivity']/Property[Type='CoreActivity!System.WorkItem.Activity']/Status$</Property>
</ValueExpressionLeft>
<Operator>Equal</Operator>
<ValueExpressionRight>
<Value>$MPElement[Name="CoreActivity!ActivityStatusEnum.Active"]$</Value>
</ValueExpressionRight>
</SimpleExpression>
</Expression>
<Expression>
<SimpleExpression>
<ValueExpressionLeft>
<Property>$Context/Property[Type='CoreChange!System.WorkItem.ChangeRequest']/Status$</Property>
</ValueExpressionLeft>
<Operator>Equal</Operator>
<ValueExpressionRight>
<Value>$MPElement[Name="CoreChange!ChangeStatusEnum.InProgress"]$</Value>
</ValueExpressionRight>
</SimpleExpression>
</Expression>
</And>
</Expression>
</Criteria>
</Freeform>
</FreeformCriteria>
</Criteria>
</QueryCriteria>
This is a simple AND criteria with two componets. one looking for a Review Activity (TypeConstraint='CoreActivity!System.WorkItem.Activity.ReviewActivity') which is related to the targetting CR by Contains Activity ($Context/Path[Relationship='CoreActivity!System.WorkItemContainsActivity';
Context in this... context means the CR targeted by the view) where it's status (/Property[Type='CoreActivity!System.WorkItem.Activity']/Status$) is In Progress ($MPElement[Name="CoreActivity!ActivityStatusEnum.Active"]$). The other is filtering
for the target change request's status ( $Context/Property[Type='CoreChange!System.WorkItem.ChangeRequest']/Status$) is In Progress ($MPElement[Name="CoreChange!ChangeStatusEnum.InProgress"]$).
You could convert the second criteria to point to SRs and SR status values, and then use the similar text for the first criteria. i'd recommend
Anton's Advanced View Editor (or
the free version) to do the criteria adjustment.

Adding approver and reviewer to PO approval process

hi,
We have PO approval process. In EBP there are two buttons called Add approver and Add reviewer which are currently grayed out. How these buttons can be activated? If we go the graphical log of PO approval workflow, we can see add reviewer button in the log and reviewer can be added to workflow from graphical log screen.
Thanks and Regards,
Vithalprasad

Hi,
Can you please change the agent assignment of the PO workflow so that it is a 'general' task. Go to transaction PFTC, display 'workflow template' e.g. 14000075 (i.e. without the WS)
Go to 'Additional Data' -> 'Agent Assignment' -> 'Maintain' ->
Attributes -> Select Radio button 'General Task' -> Transfer -> Save.
Then retest.
Kind regards,
Siobhan

Dreamweaver Exchange Approval: Adobe Reviewer Has a Question for Me? Send it my Way Pls!!

I was just denied a Dreamweaver exchange item that was already approved. I just updated title and cleaned up the description. Afterward the status said that I have to answer a question from the adobe reviewer. However I received no email from Adobe. And have no idea what add'l info they need or want!
Here is the link to my submission: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=2918 022
Can someone from Adobe review my pending Dreamweaver exhange items and let me know what I need to do?
The review and approval process here is more cryptic than getting published on the Apple App store. :-(
Vanessa
Also, I have 2 items pending in the AE exchange and 3 in the Photoshop exchange for over 25 days. How often are items in those exchanges reviewed by Adobe?

Lost. Report it stolen (with serial number) to Apple and the police. If the device is not funneled offshore, the serial number may turn up again.

Approve / reject review activity from mail notification

Hi SM Expert,
It's possible to approve or reject review activities from mail notification on Lotus Notes ?
Thanks

If lotus notes can send e-mails - YES.
Maybe this helps:

Review Activity (RA) Approval Condition is Changing

Hello everyone,
I am running SCSM 2012 R2 version 7.5.3079.0 (no CUs). I am having an odd issue where it seems as though the approval condition is changing on review activities. I can't seem to figure out if I've done something or if there is something else
going on. This is causing some tickets to "stall" and not actually get processed or is delaying actual approvals.
So as an example, the person who originally designed the system put an Automatic Approval Review Activity at the beginning of every SR. In the template, the Approval Condition was set to Automatic and there were no reviewers. All of a sudden
a reviewer with no name would show up and the approval condition would become unanimous. I since removed that RA.
Now there is a similar issue I am finding on my Change Requests (CRs). I have only done three as we are basically doing dry runs before we convert off our old system. In my template, I have a review activity that has the six members of our
change approval board as reviewers. The members rarely change so I saw no reason to make this dynamic. The template has the stage set to Approve with an Approval Condition set for Percentage. The threshold is 66% or 4 of the 6 reviewers.
At some point, the approval condition was changed to unanimous. If I look at the history of the RA, I can see where the activity was created and it says Approval Percentage 66. The RA went from Pending to In Progress and then about a minute later,
the approval condition and percentage changed. The name on that time entry is just one of my service accounts.
If it helps...here is that process that the CR template follows
Automatic Review Activity, which has not been an issue so far.
Runbook Automation Activity - Updates some fields on the CR with information based on fields. Also modifies the reviewer in the next step to be the Business Owner of a system.
Business Owner Approval Review Activity - Template is set to unanimous and has one blank reviewer that is updated by the previous runbook.
Change Approval Board Review Activity - Explained above.
Runbook Automation Activity - Converts the Change Request to a Release Record.
I appreciate any and all assistance that someone could provide.

This is a common issue.... try restarting the following three services: Microsoft Monitoring Agent, System Center Data Access Service, System Center Management Service and deleting your health service cache (Installation Folder/Health Service State) (it
will regenerate once you restart the services)

Add approver/ reviewer-data not coming up.

Hi All
One more question-we are in SRM4.0
We managed to enable the add approver and add reviewer tabs under approval.
Now when we try to add approver or reviewer the system does not fetch any data. Do we need to maintain a separate table of approvers and reviewers and link a program so that when user clicks on the tab, the data is fetched from the table....or there is some other way out.
Regards
Ashish

Ashish,
I am having a similar kind of issue like what you had months back. The 'Add approver' and 'Add reviewer' buttons are disabled on the shopping cart status overview. I have the approval task TS10008126 as general task (Not general fowarding allowed). Also the SAP provided BADI SAP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW is active in the system. But for some reason the add approver/reviewer buttons are greyed out.
How did you resolve your issue? Appreciate your help
Thanks

Add Approver / Reviewer Button

Hello Experts - I did search the forum before posting this note and only found information that I already knew about this. The add approver, add reviewer button is displayed and works in our QA region but not in Production.
I compared the source code by right clicking on a req and found difference's between the HTML in the two regions. Also, dev shows bbpsc01/99/saplbbp_1000.html and prod bbpsc02/99/saplbbp_2000.html shows BBP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW badi is not active in either region and yet add approver / add reviewer works in QA. I badi is in se18 in both regions, not se19.
I ran a compare of the code in both regions for bbpsc01/99/saplbbp_sc_ui_its_100, 1000, 110, 120, 150, 1000 and 2000. No difference's found between any of them
in the two regions. I have also compared the transports in the two regions.
Any ideas, suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Jolee,
Did u find a solution to the issue ? Please reply back.
Best regards,

Cannot add approver / reviewer

Hi All
We are on SRM 5.0 SRM Server 5.5.
When we try to add approver or reviewer the add approver / add review icons are greyed out for both shopping carts and PO's.
When we change the BBP_WFL_SECURITY to any level in personalisation this has no effect.
am I missing some config / other settings?
thanks
Daniel

Hi,
See if the BADI BBP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW is implemented in SE18.If there is any active implementation for this BADI,deactivate it.
Also see the foll notes:
Note 888560 - Not able to add approvers in table approval preview
Note 990982 - Shopping cart ad approvers possible in display mode
Note 999528 - Adding Ad Hoc Approver fails due to comit error

Add Approver/Reviewer

Hi,
When we create SC in srm we get an option to add approver/ reviwer.
Please let me know to do so, do we need to activate any workflow as ad hoc approval workflow etc...
How the approver and reviewer gets selected in the approval flow based on which logic.
Thanks,
Manu

Hi,
if you want BY Default the add approver/reviewer in the SC itself then you have add the logic in the workflow based on the logic (for example if you getting the approver/reviewer from the Z table add the approver/reviewer there itself)
So when are creating the SC the approver /reviewer will appear in the workflow
The Basic function of ADD APPROVER/REVIEWER is an adhoc only .when you feel for this SC if you want to add an approver you can add the approver before the SC is saved. Incase of reviewer is only for information that the SC is created.
hope you understand the functionality of ADD APPROVER/REVIEWER

Review activity set to notify Affected User of Approval Required - Service Request

We are trying to setup a new employee on boarding process. We have a service request form that gathers information.
We also have a review activity that the affected user (who is the manager on boarding the employee) has to approve when they get a signed confidentiality agreement, etc.
We cant set Affected User as a Reviewer but the affected user can approve.
How can we notify the affected user to review and approve the review activity.
On the screen shot below it is the first review activity.
Note: we have some workflow activity events setup that work when the reviewer is assigned in the template.
Thanks Lance

You want to set the affected user of the SR as a reviewer on the RA? In essence approving their own request. Why not just make the signed confidentiality agreement mandatory (cannot create request without it).
Anyways you have two ways to go. A custom workflow/scheduled PS-script or a runbook. If you have Orchestrator that is the easiest. Setup a "Monitor Object" that targets new SRs and a criteria that uniquely identifies the SR (Title may do). Then get the related
user from the SR and add this to the RA as a reviewer. Should be fairly easy to google a blog on specifics on how to do this.

Get user who approve review activity

Hi,
It's possible to create a notification to notify affected user who approved her review activity ?

It possible into Powershell or Orchestrator.
More difficult way is coding own workflow.

Approving review activity (notification)

Hello,
please help to solve problem with notification.
I need to recieve notification if someone approve Review Acitivity in the change request, if I am responsible person of service request. I found possible way
http://www.scsm.se/?p=948 but it did not work for me. I created subscription, exported MP and changed string in the rule section of newly created subscription:
<Item>$Context/Path[Relationship='CoreActivity!System.WorkItemContainsActivity' SeedRole='Target' TypeConstraint='WorkItem!System.WorkItem']/Path[Relationship='WorkItem!System.WorkItemAffectedUser' TypeConstraint='System!System.User']$</Item>
but do not work.

So let me see if I have this straight. you have a change request, which contains a review activity, and when someone approves this review activity, you need the owner of a service request to be notified. I have a few questions:
How are the change and service request related? is this a unique relationship or the generic "work item affects work item" relationship?
Are you looking to send a notification when a user votes on a review activity, or when that review activity is marked as approved and the process is ready to continue? This is only an important distinction for review activities that have multiple reviewers.
Hello,
for example we have simple service request with review and manual activity in it, if someone approves review activity, AssignedTo user of service request needs to be notified.

Permissions for Approving Review Activities via the SSP

I need a little help figuring out the necessary permissions I need to assign in SCSM 2012 R2. I'm trying to create a user role that will allow users to do only the following tasks via the self-service portal:
Approve a Review Activity
Reject a Review Activity
Mark an Activity as Completed
Mark an Activity as Failed
I want to ensure that users can only submit a vote for themselves for Review Activities. For example, if User1 and User2 both have to vote on an RA, I don't want User1 to be able to Approve on behalf of User2 via the SSP.
I've tried creating a custom role based on the Advaned Operators role, but that gives too many permissions (User1 can approve on behalf of User2). I've also tried creating a custom role based on the Read-Only Operators role, but then User1 can't approve
at all. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Activity Implementors is the first option. That allows the user to edit, vote and complete activities. however, this will not prevent approve on behalf.
I'm going to buck the trend here, and suggest that you should not restrict on behalf of approval. This can be a real hassle if someone goes on vacation or is otherwise indisposed. The general methodology for this is trust and verify, I.e. set up
an alert or notification for behalf of approvals that goes to a supervisor or have an auditing report that shows votes on behalf.
