Assignment in Workflow

Hi MDM Gurus,
We have added assignment to MDM workflow as step followed by some other steps, it has several conditions.
Assignment not executing as expected always in workflow. it gives SQL Update error sometime. but when we execute the same assignment manually on all those records , we dont find any issue at all. we are not sure what causes this issue. it is fine sometime in workflow also. Any lights will be highly appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks

Harrison,
Thanks for your reply, yes i have multiple records at a given time. It gives SQL UPDATE Error! , this error also occurs while processing 300- 400 records in Data manager, by selecting all records and changing some field values in a streach. we are not doing check out, becuase its nightly job. workflow getting executed in nights. so there is no one editing the records at that time.
Thanks

Agent assignment to workflow task

Hi all,
1) I have assigned a workflow(sub workflow) in a activity step in main workflow and assigned workflow task no ws99900258 in that step.i have tried to assign agents as general task.
i couldn't do it.its showing that please place the cursor..some thing.
Kindly let me know how to assign to a workflowid.
2) in another workflow i am facing the problem is "mandatory import element(workflow container object(z_plm_sbc) is not explicitly provided".
Kindly let me know how to rectify this error.
Regards,
Ramesh.

Hi Ramesh,
1. Open the workflow ws99900258 in tcode PFTC,
     Menu options -- > additional data-->agent assignment --> maintain --> select your workflow (this is where you are missing)
     click on "atttributes' buttone..
     Make it as general.
2. In your workflow some of the elements are mandatory, pass the required value into that element.
This is you have to mention in the Binding ..

Task assignment in Workflow

I am investigating the different possibilities to assign tasks in workflow processes. If I understand the documentation correctly a task can be assigned to an user or a group. If addressed to a group the first user in the group accessing the task "locks" it for all other users in the group. How do I assign a task to all users in a group (so each and every user in the group gets a copy of the task)? Can this be done? If not - how would you suggest such an implementation would be made? Perhaps using an external Web Service integrating with the Workflow Services?
Best regards
/ Rasmus

To assign a task to each an every member in the group, you could use the parallel workflow or "parallel with final reviewer" pattern. This will create a master task with subtasks assigned to each member of the group. Additionally you can use the ora:getUsersInGroup(groupId) xpath function to get all the members of the group and assign tasks to them.
Another option is to use the <flow> construct in BPEL and create separate workflow tasks for each member in the group

Agent Assignment in Workflow

If anyone had worked on customizing the WF for Changed Sub profile, WS1200124, please tell me how to configure the role for the standard task: 1200191, Abbreviation: PDVDispProfi .
I need to use this task for two purposes, one to show to the owner of the profile and second to the manager of the owner of the profile.
I tried giving the rules 01200025 for Employee and 01200024 for the manager in agent assignment for the tasks, but the workflow hangs at these tasks.
If I hardcode the agent to some user, it works fine.
Any suggestion on what would have gone wrong?
Is something to be activated at the rule level?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Mikko,
I work on ECC5 system.
Your answer solves half of my issue.
I assign an Expression with &EMPLOYEE& as the agent to task and this sends the mail to the employee.
the Work Item Subject says "Your Dev. Profile has been change".
Now, I also need to send the same mail to the supervisor of the employee.
Here, The workitem text should be "Dev. Profile has been changed for the Employee<b> XYZ</b>".
So, I cloned the task TS01200191 to TS900001,
changed the text accordingly and
created a container element "PERSON"
inserted this element as a variable in the text.
I need to pass this PERSON to the task in the binding from workflow.
This PERSON should be created in the workflow container and filled.
Please confirm if this procedure works or if there is a better one.
Thanks.

Role Assignment to Workflow Tasks

Hi Experts,
Any hints on below requirement please :
Details:
1. For a role in transaction PFCG, I don't see the Workflow tab
2. For the same role in transaction SUIM, I can see the Workflow tab and the tasks assigned.
3. Now, I have a list of workflow tasks and I need to assign Role X, Role Y to all of them
What is the correct and best way out to do this
- Role-Task Assignment ::: Is it enough if I add all the workflow tasks in SUIM transaction(workflow tab) for both roles X,Y
or
- Task-Role Assignment ::: Can I assign both Roles X,Y in pftc transaction for each of the workflow tasks
or
- Both need to be done
Thanks in advance ...

Hi Ali,
Answers for your questions:
1. Transfer Missing Elements: YES
With this step, new elements will create in the task container based on the method container elements and creates the binding b/w them. It is better to choose YES and after that, if you dont require the binding, you can delete it for respective elements.
2. YES, we need to follow the same procedure.
3. Basically production system is having the mandatory configurations like RFC destinations and Classify tasks are general, probably no other activities are required.
4. For this, I am also waiting for other folks reply.

Role assigned after workflow triggered

a workflow has been processed before assigning an user to the role. now the message has been sent but not to anyone. Now, the user has been assigned to the role. but he wil not recevie msg as it is already been sent.
so, how can i achieve that user gets the msg.

Later a user has been assigned to a role
You mean to say that when the workflow is triggered you are creating a MAIL and , now you want to again send the same mail to the person who is assigned for the role
could you please let us know what option you are using in the mail step to send the mail I mean
Expression
User
Position
Job etc
See if you are passing a mail with out them , I mean by leaving this field as blank then i think i workflow might be in the error state , can you be more clear on what exactly you mena by the message

Assigning a workflow instance ID

Hi,
I just want to know if it's possible to assign my own instance ID when instantiating
a workflow.
Thanks.

I have the same question, and I would like to be able to get to
the actual "label" as opposed to setting up a new process
variable. It is not accessible in the dialog box.
Thanks

When you say "workflow ID", do you mean the system-generated instance

do you mean the template definition ID -- or "label" -- that you define
in
the Template Definition properties dialog? (There is some confusion around
these, for which a CR has been opened.)
If it's the latter, you should simply be able to specify a workflow variable
name, and specify that variable as the return variable in the Perform
Business Operation action for the business operation in question. If
you
want to manually intervene during a running workflow to change a variable
value, you can also use the Update variables function in the Workflow
Variables dialog box, accessed from the Workflow Instances dialog.

Agent assignment in workflows

Hi,
How to assign agents(user) as approvers to a particular workflow.
Thanks,
Manu

Hi Manu,
To add start condition performe the following steps:
1. Go to t-code SWDD and open your workflow template.
2. Go to Basic Data (cap sign button at the top of the screen) or click Ctrl + F8
3. Go to Start Events tab.
4. In the Object type enter your BO name, in Event of object enter the BO event.
5. Click on 'B' i.e. Binding Defined, click on generate automatic binding. It would automatically generate the appropriate binding for the workflow. You can also alter the binding as per requirement.
6. Click on 'C' i.e. Start Condition. A dialog would open, select the appropriate start condition for the workflow. Check the condition before saving (recommended).
6. Click on 'A' to Activate the binding and start condition. All 'A', 'B' and 'C' would get green.
7. Save the changes made and activate your workflow.
Hope this answers your query.

Purchaser Assignment / PrGrp:Workflow problem:No approver found.WS14000044

Hello,
I am facing a problem concerning the Workflow WS14000044.
In the organizational structure using transaction 'PPOMA_BBP', I went
to the bottom left hand panel. I have assigned a purchasing group to a
purchaser as follow :
Right click on a "Purchasing Group" and I select "Purchaser Assignment"
menu.
Then the right hand panel changes from "Staff assignments"
to "Purchaser Assignment". I select a purchasing group and I assign
this purchasing group to a purchaser.
But when i create the SC, the system does not retrieve the 'approver'
for workflow WS14000044. Error mesage in approval preview : 'no approvers'.
Regards,
Lina

Hi,
Please refer to the following ---
This workflow is started for a shopping cart if the
shopping cart requires completion by the purchaser before
actual approval. You define the criteria used to decide that
further editing is required in the start conditions. Provided that
these criteria are fulfilled, this workflow is started after the
purchaser has edited a shopping cart (and occasionally in the case
of a change during approval). After the purchaser has edited
the shopping cart, the creator receives a work item and
the normal approval process can start.

Book assignment using workflow

We are using around 400 workflows to automatically assign Books for record types > Account, lead, Opportunity & activity. User are reporting performance degradation..I would like to know ;
If number of workflow could be the reason for performance degradation?
If its not a good practice to have so many workflows? Book staructure is flat and data only in leaves..
Today its simple expression with trigger event "New record saved" & "Modified record saved", can change in expression help improve performance?
Is 'Manager visibilty' has some roles to play ?

Just wanted to update this with how I solved the issue.
I used [<OwnerId>] = "AEOA-L1QUR"
I included double quotes and realised i was mistakenly using the owner integration id rather than the owner id.
When using the Alias field it appeared to work when i used double quotes, but the alias field is set AFTER the workflow fires so it is not much use!!

FI Payment Release Workflow Agent assignment and SPRO settings.

Hi Experts,
I am working on Payment release workflow for 2 stages. So for this i have activated the main workflow WS00400012 and for First level release WS00400011 and for second level release WS00400021.
Now where should i assign the agent for First level release and second level release ? and what setting should i do in SPRO as FI settings.
Any of you suggestions will be of great help me to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Hari

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.Should i mention the main workflow number in SPRO or
just the subworkflows alone ?.
Assign main workflow number
Can i assign users directly in workflow itself insteas of assigning position in SPRO.
Don't assign users inside the workflow, if the user id you want to change then again you have to change the workflow.

Assigning USER values in the task of workflow

Hi Experts ,
I am using the USER option in the task to sending workitem to the perticular user which i have given in the user option .
I am doing this in development .
When i will move my workflow to Production then if the user id which i have given in develpment will not be present in production then my workflow will not work there .
And in production also we may not change the user id ,
so is there any way through which we can able maintain the userid values in production .
Note : I want to use the USER option in the task not through the expression option .
thanks

Workflow assignment table dependent ?

Hi,
I have done two assignment in say Main Table and Lookup table(Table-1)
Objective is to trigger first assignment based on Table-1
Once this is complete bring this new number created in Table-1 to a main table field thru Assignment-2
This two assignments are working fine independently.
Challenge is to automate both of them in correct sequence thru Workflow.
In first workflow not able to launch the second workflow thru(STOP , launch property).
Is this because first work flow is based on Table-1 and second workflow is based on Main table ?
Appreciate your valued input
-reo

Hi Reo,
Yes,Any workflow is assigned against some selected records.
If you are running the lookup assignment that is done by assigning a workflow for the lookup table record. At the end the second workflow cannont be triggerd for this selected record as its depends on the Maintable fields.
But if you run the first agginment it will reflect in the maintable as well.
Say u assign a value change for a display field in the lookup table.
This will reflect back on the maintable records for which the lookup details are all ready selected..
Get back for help,
Vijay
