Assigning a Task to a User in Worklisting

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in i need to assign the tasks to a user. The user is not created in the Weblogic LDAP but the users are present in our application rdbms (Oracle).

You have to configure additional authenticator and set the control flag appropriate to authenticate from either RDBMS authenticator or the default authenticator. Once you have done that you will be able to assign tasks to users from either user repositories.
There is a sample DBAuthenticator that you might want to look at here http://dev2dev.bea.com/codelibrary/code/sec_rdbms.jsp

Assigning human task to a user not exist in the ldap - actionable task by email address

Hello experts,
we have a requirement to assign a task to an external user (not exist in the ldap) to perform some action by allowing the system to send an actionable email.
Internal user will capture the external-user name & emailaddress in the task form. System should use this information and assign the task to the user by sending an actionable email. Our requirement is, these external users should not have access to bpm workspace, so we can not store the user information within the system.
Currently I have tried assign the task to an internal user (users configured in weblogic) and system sends out an actionable email and able to set the outcome of the task by replying to the email.
How can the same be achieved, without the user being in our system? Is it possible? I am OK to create a temporary user before assigning the task, but will be there be any impact if I delete the user after the task has been completed?

AnilB,
Assigning a task to a user that is not in the directory will likely result in the BPM flow going into suspended state. To avoid this, assign the task to a pre-created group, you should not get an error even if the group is empty. You can then add and remove the users to that group to control access to the task.

Why Case-Sensitive while assigning tasks to other users??

I am trying to assign a task to another user through AdminUI.
While searching for users, I am supposed to provide case-sensitive search text to find actual users.
In previous installations it is not a problem. i.e only in production it happens.
Is there any place to modify this settings?
Please see the attached screenshot of the page.
Thanks,
Nith

Raghu,
thanks for the reply, you are right as per the audit .But suppose if it is for 200 users ,creating 200 CUP requests will be impractical right.
there should be some solution for this , because there will be many situations practically where we have to assign roles to N number of users.
Is this possible in GRC 10 ? any idea ?

BPM 11.1.1.5 Dynamic assignment of task to user

Hi,
I'm working with BPM 11.1.1.5 (without feature pack). I have a requirement to assign a task to a user dynamically, based on data that I pull from a DB query. If the task expires, I will assign it to another user once again based on a DB query.
I have not been able to find a way to do this. I have tried creating the Participant List "By Expression", where the expression is: /task:task/task:systemAttributes/task:assignees/task:id, where I have previously assigned a LDAP user id to a TaskExecutionData input variable. This does not work!
I've read a number of forum posts where people are trying to do this, but they are either not answered or answered inadequately.
I've read a number of posts where people talk about doing this using bpws:getVariableData() where the dynamic user list is stored in a variable. This would be great, if it worked for BPM as this is exactly what I'd like to do. However, this is a BPEL solution as far as I can see! I haven't been able to find a way to access a declared variable from the Expression Builder form in BPM.
Does anyone have a solution for this, please?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is this something that is easier to do in PS5?
Many thanks,
Brian.

Hi Brian,
Not sure if this is what you need, but to assign the BPM work item instance to a participant based on information read from a database table, one approach is to:
1. Read the table and return the userId to a process data object variable upstream of the Interactive activity.
2. Pass the variable with the user id into the Interactive activity's human task.
3. Open the human task, click the Assignment tab -> double click the performer icon in the center -> change the "Build a list of participants using" dropdown to "Names and Expressions" -> click the plus icon -> click "Add a User" -> under "Data Type" change the dropdown selection to "By Expression" -> click the "..." button under "Value" -> expand "task" -> expand "task:payload" -> select the variable that you set the user id to.
I think there is probably more to your question than this, but hopefully it's a start.

Assigning a single task to multiple users in a state machine/ sp d workflow

hi,
i have a requirement to implement a workflow based soln.
step1 : approver1 will select few documents , which is provide as a link , with other columns in a gridview
approver1 clicks on a button send to doclib1 and its moved and inserted into doclib1
my workflow should start.
step2 : a task is assigned to leadconsultant1 and a item/items is created in the task list.
leadconsultant1 will review the document/documents and send back to approver1 if its ok.approver1 then send this info to the requestor offline.
step3 : if leadconsultant1 is not reviewing the document , he can select few consultants [asue peoplpickwer control is avlble] and assign same document to multiple consultants.
so here comes the complex part : in a visual studio statemachine workflow , how can i assign single task to multiple users also, when a user completes his task [ means reviews the document the workflow will not be completed. and workflow will be completed
ONLY WHEN all the users selected by the leadconsultant1 completes their review].
or is there anyway in sp designer 2013, i can achieve the same scenario?
help or pointers are highly appreciated!

Hi Benjamin KNR,
For this issue, in the first level approval, you can use custom task form to add a field for approvals to add the consultants to approve next.
Then on this task changed event, get the consultants fields value from the task, set the value to a custom field in current item to record the consultants value.
Go to next state, to create next approval task for consultants. Set the task AssignedTo to the fields that store the consultants value.
On the event driven state, onTaskChanged event, check all task status, if all the tasks have been approved, then go to next state.
Thanks,

Thanks in advance

This is more tricky than it sounds.
You could use a gateway with one branch that goes to the User step and another branch that goes straight to the end of the gateway and set the gateway to No Wait.
Then, from the end of the gateway object loop back to the start of the gateway so that it assigns it to the next person.
In the next version of LiveCycle, you should be able to use the Mutli User Task operation to assign a task to multiple users in parallel.

Is it mandatory to assign a task to responsible agents?

Hello Gurus,
Iam new to workflow and i have few questions . Iam implementing CATS on ECC6.0 and in the data entry profile i have given the task ID TS31000007,Now i want to assign this task to an agent,
1. Is it sufficient to assign possible agents to the task through PFTC so that all possible agents can execute the workitem.
2. Or is it mandatory to assign the task to responsible agents <b>also</b> through a rule.
3. If i make the task as a general task can the perosn who entered working time can also approve it .
Sriram

Hello Raja
My scenario is as follows
In CATS data entry profile i made the following settings
With approval procedure
Using business workflow
Auto determination of a recipient
Task ID : TS31000007 - approval by a chief (supervisor)
Now i make the task as general task ( possible agents).
I <b>dont</b> define a rule for the task in the defaults tab .
Now does the workitem go to all users?
and if i maintain agent assignment to a task through PFTC ( for example i assign the task to a user) and dont define the rule .
Does the work item goto that particular user only?

Alternate assignment of tasks

Apologies if this has already been asked and answered but I have done a search and could not find a solution for what I am trying to accomplish.
I have a simple item form which asks the user basic information about a task they are submitting. The task needs to then be assigned to a member of my team. I am looking to assign the task to a specific user but I would like to alternate
the assignments so that each user gets an equal amount of tasks assigned to them. I do not want all tasks going to the same person and there is not a unique identifier to assign the tasks to the user by.
I would like to be able to do this automatically so that I do not have to monitor the tasks or assign them to each user manually as I expect somewhere in the range of 30-40 daily form submissions.
I have tried creating an IF statement as a calculated field to assign the task based on even and odd number item IDs but was unsuccessful.

HI Kumar ,
That is very simple.For that you have create a Customer msater for 678 also .then that 678 vendor code assign to 123 .After that if you clear the payment for 123 also that effect goes to 678.
For that First open FD01 create a customer master for 678 next open FD02 and assign that customer master in 123 as a Alternative payer in payment transaction tab.
May be this information is useful to you
If you have any doubt feel free to ask

Hi Glen,
I am trying to use ExtendedPropertyType and put in UpdaterItemType as in this code as below. Although it is not updating the Owner
field.
I have tried it both by Propertyname and PropertyID. Although new custom property's canbe
added but to change an existing one like 'Owner' ? Would this be the right method.
2. And Is ProprertyID a fixed value as 0x811f or does it need to be calculated.
3. Is 'Owner' the right propertname for assigning a task ?
Thanks a lot.
Please see code below for reference.
PathToExtendedFieldType pathExtended = new PathToExtendedFieldType();
//pathExtended.DistinguishedPropertySetId = DistinguishedPropertySetType.PublicStrings;
pathExtended.DistinguishedPropertySetId = DistinguishedPropertySetType.Task;
pathExtended.DistinguishedPropertySetIdSpecified = true;
pathExtended.PropertyId = 0x811f;
pathExtended.PropertyIdSpecified = true;
//pathExtended.PropertyName = "Owner";
pathExtended.PropertyType = MapiPropertyTypeType.String;
ciSetAT.ExtendedProperty = new ExtendedPropertyType[1];
ciSetAT.ExtendedProperty[0] = new ExtendedPropertyType();
ciSetAT.ExtendedProperty[0].ExtendedFieldURI = pathExtended;
ciSetAT.ExtendedProperty[0].Item = "[email protected]";
SetItemFieldType set1 = new SetItemFieldType();
set1.Item = pathExtended;
set1.Item1 = ciSetAT;
UpdateItemType request = new UpdateItemType();
request.ItemChanges = new ItemChangeType[1] { new ItemChangeType() };
request.ItemChanges[0].Item = itemId;
request.ItemChanges[0].Updates = new ItemChangeDescriptionType[2];

Re-assign the Task User thru API

Hi all,
     I m creating a process for user' approval from email thru service 'completeTask'. I set a email endpoint to receive the approval email. it contains a Task Id which is used to complete the main task.
     I found that that task does not complete due to the error about the incorrect task-assigned user. So I want to re-assign a correct task-user by applying API.
     I have tried to use Interface TaskManager.reAssignTask() in API to do that, but it doesn't work.
anyone can give me some suggestion?
Any method which do will be welcome too.

Thanks for your attention, Jasmin.
the above problem about re-assign the task user is solved. it's due to my mistake that the User Name in Email Endpoint is set to a incorrect user.
However, I want to ask aother question. can I use SuperAdmin account in Email Endpoint to complete the task assigned to other user?
it is because when I sucessfully re-assign the task to SuperAdmin from User-A and completed this task by SuperAdmin, I found that there is no Complete History in User-A's Tracking in workspace due to the task approver is SuperAdmin.
Any method can do that will be welcomed.

I have a user who is assigned a task through the Assignment tab, but when they log in, they don't see the "Open Tasks" menu. If I make them sys-admin, they can see it, so It has to be a permissions thing, but where exactly?
Any help would be appreacited!

You need to assign the following menu items "To-Do List Open Tasks menu item" to the group the user belong to.

Assigning Task to a user in the same domain

Hi Everybody,
When I try to assign task to a user in the same domain he gets the task as an e-mail with an attachment,
he doesn't get the Accept / Decline buttons.<o:p></o:p>
Any ideas what I should do?
Technical Specialist

Hi,
In order to narrow down the causes, I have the following question:
1. Does this issue occur on OWA?
2. Does this issue occur to all the users?
If the issue occurs to all the users, I think you need to enable the pipeline tracing log to which HUB server is the root cause.

How to assign task to multiple user & current task in waiting state

Hi,
In the workflow i want to assign the tak to multiple user one by one & current task should remain open & should also wait for completion of assigned tasks. for Example - I have Task 1 & Task 2.
From Task 1, user can assign the Task 2 to different multiple user at the same time or user can assign the Task 2 to different users at some time interval.
Now, Task 1 user should wait to complete the all Task 2 assignment or Task 1 user can close the Task 2. If Task 2 user is not responding.
Task 1 should remain in open state till Complete action not taken.
Please help me how can i achieve the above scenario in BPM11g 11.1.1.6.0

I think you can sue Workcenter option here. I generally do some coding in User Exit for FM ME_REL_GET_RESPONSIBLE
which is attached to Rule 20000027.
For the Release effected step you can add but I think you have to create cuistom Wflow for that. You cannot use WS20000075.
Thanks

How to assign a task to Reuestor in OIM 11g

How to assign a task to a requestor (who has raised a request for other user).
I created a Task assignment adapter and mapped variable in Process definition as
Map To: Request Info
Qualifier: Requester User Login
Still it returns null and default task is assigning to System adminstrator. I am pasting the Task Assignment code here. User key value coming as Null.
Do you have any idea what is the exact mapping required in Process definition.?? Pls note: I am using OIM version 11.1.1.5.0
public class TaskAssignmentToUserAdapter {
     Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("COM.IDM.PROV.COMMON.ADAPTERS");
     public String getTargetType(String targetType){
          return targetType;
     public String assignTaskToUser(String userKey,tcDataProvider dataProvider ){
          System.out.println("The user key value:" +userKey);
          return userKey;
     }

Not sure what sample code I can give you, but you need to do a query in your adapter like:
select REQUEST_KEY from OIU where ORC_KEY='?'
Here ORC_KEY should be mapped to the process instance key.
Once you have the Request key, you can use RequestServcie APIs to get the requester information. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/apirefs.1111/e17334/oracle/iam/request/api/RequestService.html#getBasicRequestData_java_lang_String_
Or if you don't care then get the requester key from the request table. Thus you can have the final query as:
select USR_LOGIN from USR where USR_KEY=(select REQUESTER_KEY from REQUEST where REQUEST_KEY = (select REQUEST_KEY from OIU where ORC_KEY='?'))
