Difference Between assigning a task to a position and a job

Hi Friends
What is the difference between assigning the Task to a position and a Job ? Can we assign for both...

Hi Ram,
Positions are generally derived from jobs.
Thus, common tasks of the positions that are deriven from the same job should be assigned to the job.
However, more specific tasks of positions are assigned directly to the position itself.
e.g. Engineer is a job and computer engineer is a position derived from it.
The tasks that are done commonly by all engineers are assigned to job (e.g. Solves problems)
However, tasks specific to computer engineer (e.g. Writes computer programs) is assigned to the position.
Hope its clear.
Best wishes,
Dilek

To automate assigning employee to respective position.

Hi All,
Anyone knows about how to assign Employee(Business Partner) to the respective position for the organizational unit programmatically.
three tasks:-
To Automate the following programatically:-
1. assign employee to the position.
2. update employee positions.
3. remove employee.( change the status of employee)
Thanks!

Hi
Once you create org.unit you can assign positions,update and remove employee from their positions automatically.Make your customizing settings for automatic organisational data determination using the wizards.When you create a transaction,the system determines the org.data according to your customising settings.You can change or enhance the or.units manually.
I hope this helps!!

Error when assigning business partners to positions in org. mgmt.

Hello,
I've got the following problem. I want to assign business partners to a position in organisation management. When doing this, the following error occurs:
"Object cannot be assigned to object xxx in the period xx.xx.xxxx - xx.xx.xxxx"
(xxx is the position to which the business partner should be assigned)
The number of this error message is 5A368.
Diagnosis in the detailed description of this message:
"The object period of object '1st Level Support' is not within the relationship period 26.03.2007 - 31.12.9999."
I've changed the object period of the position "1st Level Support" to several other dates, but it did not solve the problem.
The described problem does not occur, when assigning an user to this position.
Can anybody help me with this problem? I'm using SolMan 4.0.
Thank you in advance!

Thanks for your answer so far. Unfortunately it's not possible for me to upgrade to SP11. So I tried to solve the problem the way you described. I double-clicked the position on the left, the desired position is shown in the main screen and I try to assign the business partner to the position. But the same error appears.
Are there any other possible solutions?
What are the consequences of assigning users to a position instead of business partners?

Problem on Assigning Person to a Position

Hi SAP-HR folks,
I would like to ask for your assistance on my problem below.
I've hired a person using New Hire action type. During the hiring process, I've assign the person to a position which I've created also. Then, there is a need for this person to be re-assign to another vacant position. Re-assigning should be done using drag and drop in transaction PPOME.
I've successfully done the re-assignment of this person to another vacant position using drag and drop. But according to the test scripts that we are following, the expected result should be that the system should refuse the re-assignment after filling in the dates. Re-assignment can only proceed after delimitation of the assignment of person to position.
May I know if the action that I've done is a normal behavior of SAP? In the case the test scripts are right, may I know on how to successfully follow the scripts?
Thanks in advance!

whenever transfer employee from one positon to other position don't do this by drag and drop from ppome.
just do this by PA40, Org Reassignment action.
as ppome not support 100% for such change.
and also if u do this from ppome, it0001 can't be updated for both positions.

Assignment task in OIM 11.1.1.3

System:
RHEL 5 (64-bit)
OIM 11.1.1.3.0.2
JDK - Sun 1.6.0_21+
DB - Oracle 11.2.0.1+
Application Server - Oracle Weblogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.3)
Problem:
Can’t assign task on my process form to anyone. I was testing my AD resource and I usually did the following actions: through Design Console in “AD User” process definition I edit default assignment rule for “Create user” task (also I tried to create my own rule but result was the same). I change “target type” column to “user” and choose some user on “user” column (also I tried to assign task to some group but result was the same). After provisioning resource to some user “create user” task is assigned to XELSYSADM user passing the configuration I’ve made before.

Did you set the organization, before approving the Task. The Approver needs to specify an OIM organization in which to create a user.

New task assigned to user from CurrentItem:UserField using Assign task action is assigned to different user.

Hello !
I have run into "funny" problem.
I have following workflow:
User is creating item in ListA. In new form he needs to put Manager which is User Field column type. From people picker he is choosing login name Domain\jo (Two letters seems to be important here). User is resolved correctly to John Doe. Item is saved and
added to list correctly. In list view John Doe is displayed in Manager column. In view item John Doe is in Manager field. In powershell Id;#John Doe is as a Manager field value.
Now the "funny" part:
After item is added to ListA workflow is started automatically. Workflow is assigning new task to user from Manager (CurrentItem:Manager) field using Assign task action. Now the new task is assigned to different person i.e. John Dimagio with login name DOMAIN\jod
! When I am logging value to wf history of the CurrentItem:Manager field I am getting sth like i;123#DOMAIN\jod . So value is completely different and wrong.
Can someone explain why is this happening?
My guess is that using two letters login name can cause such case but why ?

Firstly Thanks for the response Chris.
I'm not using any combination of older version of WLS and 7.0. I've downloaded
the trial version of weblogic platform 7.0 and working on it.
I forgot to mention one thing that in order to fix the problem I have modified
the wlpi-ejb.jar to removethe method permissions.

some insight for your problem:
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs70/upgrade/upgrade6xto70.html#1050157
The only caveat is the fact that you are logged in as admin, which
should be an authenticated user for BPM, therefore not represented by
the guest user...Have you modified the permissions of the admin user?
Specifically removed the Execute_Template permission from admin?

Auto Assign Tasks while on Vocation in BPM 11.1.1.5

Hi,
Any idea how to assign tasks automatically in BPM 11.1.1.5. Lets say there are tasks assigned to me and I am in the middle of working on those and I go on vocation how can do I get all those tasks to be automatically reassigned to some other user and if any other tasks gets assigned to me while on vocation want those to be routed to some other user and once I am back from vocation need all those tasks assigned back to me automatically.
Is there any out-of-the-box functionality in BPM 11.1.1.5.
Thanks

Hi,
I tried that but it does not work. Created a new rule with vocation enables but no luck. So wondering if it even works.
Any idea which API's need to look at, if have to custom develop this functionality.
Thanks

How to Pre-Populate the user information during Assign Task operation

Hi ,
I have a requrirement to Pre-Populate the form fields (Name, Email, Phone etc...) when a task is assigned to a user. The users are dynamically assiged, so I am using the Find User and the Assign Task services to locate and assign the task to the user. Since I have a User variable that is a result from the Find User operation, I was hoping to retrieve the user information with the attributes of the User type.
I tried to use the Set Value service to set the form field (Email) with the email attribute of the User object type i.e.
/process_data/MyForm/object/data/xdp/datasets/data/Form/User/Email   -> /process_data/facilityAuthority/object/@email
However I get the following error when I try to do this - com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.InvalidCoercionException: Cannot coerce object: [B@335d of type: [B to type: interface org.w3c.dom.Document.
Is it possible to retrieve the user information from the User object? If so how do I get the values for the User attributes (Name, Email & Phone etc...) so that I can populate them in the form?
Thanks,
Samanthapudi

Hi Han Dao,
If you are facing an exception of the form "com.adobe.idp.dsc.util.InvalidCoercionException: Cannot coerce object: [B@335d of type: [B to type: interface org.w3c.dom.Document.", It is because the system is trying to cast a Byte Stream into w3c Document and failing. To resolve this we can explicitly cast this byte stream to appropriate data type (String in previous example). To do so we can use a SetValue operation.
As an example
Setting
/process_data/MyForm/object/data/xdp/datasets/data/Form/User/Email   -> /process_data/facilityAuthority/object/@email
results in the exception
so we can modify it to
/process_data/MyForm/object/data/xdp/datasets/data/Form/User/Email   -> string(/process_data/facilityAuthority/object/@email)
Please let me know if this does not resolve your issue.
Thanks

Error in Workflow 2013 when I try assign task (HTTP Forbidden)

Good morning. I have Sharepoint Server 2013 and Workflow Manager on two other machines with Windows Server 2012 standard. I need to use workfloows 2013, so when I'm trying to do some simple workflows as "send mail" or "change date in column".

I just don't understand why it trying go to http, becouse i have setup Workflow farm for data exchange through https, register
to https too.
Please help, I'm working with this problem 2 weeks.
P.S. In this video-instruction http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn201724(v=office.15) do SSL, but when I'm checking
SSL I can't connect SQL, so I don't check SSL.

Hi Evgeny,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you tried to assign task in 2013 workflow.
I recommend to execute the command below to get workflows properly registered:
$credential = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultNetworkCredentials
$site = Get-SPSite(<siteUri>)
$proxy = Get-SPWorkflowServiceApplicationProxy
$svcAddress = $proxy.GetWorkflowServiceAddress($site)
Copy-SPActivitiesToWorkflowService -WorkflowServiceAddress $svcAddress -Credential $credential -Force $true
Then re-register SharePoint with Workflow Manager services with the below sample command since HTTP is not required:
Register-SPWorkflowService –SPSite "http://FQDN:80" –WorkflowHostUri "http://FQDN:12291" -force
More references are provided in the below link which lists commands to be executed once after SharePoint 2013 CU has been applied:

Assign task with use a document variable

Hi,
if i'm assigning a pdf document in assign task operation with use a document variable instead of application asset, I see the same old blank form after user submits the form.
what ever typed in the form is not seen in the output variable assigned in Assign user task.
If I use application asset and provide input xml, then I could see the filled form as output when user submits.
What should I do to get the filled data in the form?
Note: Reason for using document variable is I want to dynamically assign the form created in the process to assign task instead of getting from repository.
Highly appreciate your assistance.
Thanks,
kc

Ok. So are you populating document with the values entered by user in process before assigning.
Best approach is to xml and application asset.
And do you have your pdf document binded with xml schema. If not then you wont have fields populated in any way.
Thanks,
Prashast

User "wlisystem" has not been assigned task "Task 1"

Hi,
I am having problems executing a task thro' Worklist JSP. My env. is WLS 7.0 on Windows
NT.
I can do a Start Workflow and then click on the appropriate template.
Then, when I click on the task, I get the error (see below)

Just to be a little more clear, this works fine from the
Worklist Swing application but the same gives an error when
I execute from JSP page. The task seems to execute properly
but still the JSP page gives an error as shown below.
Anyone has experience with JSP workjlist on WLS 7.0 please??!

Dynamic asset selection for assign tasks operations

Hi,
I have a default workflow which could be used by a lot of different specific workflows (every specific worklow has a part where the manager and the workers council has to approve). I would like to build this workflow part as a subprocess that could be used by all the other workflows.
My problem is that every specific workflow uses an own flex UI or PDF form to represent the process data. In the assign task operation I need to choose a specific asset. To be able to use the subprocess for all workflows I would need to choose the asset dynamically through a variable or xPath etc.
Is there an option or workaround to specify the asset by its name or a variable?
Thanks and regards,
Lars

Another way (might be simpler than other solutions):
You can update the TaskContext variable in Render Process.
I mean, you have to dynamically set the ResourceURL of the TaskContext variable just before rendering.
I applied this logic in my application and it works; (But I dint work with .SWF files)
Hope this may help you.
