Assignment of task to multiple employess in WebClient 2007

Hi Experts,
I have 2 requirement from Client pertaining to Activities in WebClient.I am wondering if tihs is possible.
1)Client wants to assign Task to multiple employees at the same time. Is this possible? if yes how?
Can a field be created in webGUI to assign to group( Employees)???
2)As we know once the Task is created in appears under My Open Tasks in the employee responsible home page. My quesry is how can the employee know who has assigned the Task. If an employee is assigned to 2 managers then how to determine who has assigned the task as there is no information as such about the person who has assigned it???
Regds...

Hi,
here are my recomendations:
1) as Christian suggested you can change the partner determination procedure customizing and enable the partner function employee responsible for more then one entry. In the new Web UI, you have the parties involved assignment block on the task overview page, where you could then enter the employee responsibles. It is also possible to search/enter a group.
2') if you want to avoid enhancing the partner determination procedure with another partner function, you could check the change log on the overview page, as this log will contain also the assignment action. But this is only applicable if you have just this sole requirement, with no new requirement like searching/ reporting. Otherwise I recomend the solution provided by Christian in his reply above.
Best regards,
Erika

Multiple resources assigned to task, single resource complete it to 100%?

I would like to assign a task to multiple resources (say, for example, the computer services techs) and have whichever one completes the task mark it as complete. Any time this happens, it completes it only up to the fraction of the task they have. For example,
if I have assigned 5 of them to a task, one of them finishes it, and marks it as complete, the project only shows 20% complete, which is wrong. Is there another way to do this?
Thanks,
Ian

Hello Ian,
Are you working with MS Project Standalone (ie not connected to Project Server)? In case you are, you have to set the remaning work for the other resources (that didn't actually worked on the task) to 0. For that I'd advice to split your window in MS Project
and use the task form in order to edit the remaining work for each assignments.
In case you're using Project Server (which version?) with timesheet or/and task updates, you could use the team assignments. This feature allows you assigning tasks to a team, then members of this team will self-assign themselves to the appropriate tasks
and update those tasks.
Hope this helps.

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,

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.

Can I assign a task based on information from another column?

For example:
Let's say I have a column called "Question Type" and this column has multiple checkbox choice, those being:
     Math
     Science
     History
     English
     Other
I want to allow users to be able to select multpile catagories for the question, like making one both math and science (which right now is completely possible)
I then want another column that says who the problem is assigned to. Bob is good at math, Joe at science, Jill at histroy, Jenn at English, and Billy handles everything else.
1) Is there a way that the task can be automatically assigned to my math expert Bob when I specify that the item I am adding is a math problem?
2) If I make a problem both math and science, can the task be assigned to both Bob and Joe?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to assign a task based on information from another column.
To assign task to multiple users, you need to:
Create a workflow and add action: Start Approval Process.
Click these user, select the Group, change One or a time(serial) to
All at onec(paralle).
Right click the action, select Properties, click ExpandGroups, change No to
Yes.
Then you can assign task to each member of the group.
I recommend to follow the steps as below to achieve what you want:
Create a custom list, add columns: Question Type(Choice); Assigned to(Person or Group).
Create a workflow associated the list.
Add conditions and action as below:
Then the task can be automatically assigned to 123 when the item is a math problem.
In addition, if you make a problem both math and science, the task can be assigned to both 456 and 789.
You can add other conditions to satisfy all the requirements.

Assigning My Tasks according to Role Hierarchy

Hi,
I have to configure EP's <b>My Tasks</b> in such a way that Project Manager can assign the tasks to his team members but team member should not be able to assign the task to his Manager. i.e. I want to assign the task hierarchically.
Can some one tell that how can I configure My Tasks for this requirement? I am using EP6.
Thanks in advance.
Manish

First thanks to everyone providing me lots of information regarding OS & Java internals
The problem that I am facing is,
There are multiple applications running on one Solaris box say Application-1 and Application-2. Now due several design holes Application-1 eating up most of the CPU cycles(Not all the time but during upgrades, reporting etc) Please note Application-1 need to run no matter whether it is eating CPU or not.
Now Application-2 is having two sub component
1. Reading binary data from several clients (High priority task)
2. Parsing those data(well performance tuned java code with high CPU utilization)
In this above scenario if Application-2 sub component (2) runs along with Application-1 which consumes most of the CPU cycle then the whole system will be state to function.
I know the answer will be to tune the code which eats the max CPU and fix the problem, but you need to consider this is one application of 7 years age and still the development is happening on top it.
So only possible solution from my side to isolate the component I can reduce the priority of execution and wait till the component which can not be get delayed processing. Means yield Application-2 sub component – 2 for Application-1 to complete its processing.
Sounds strange right? But I am not finding any other ways to solve this issue immediately
So the solution I figured out is to have a component to check the System recourse Utilization and yield Application-2 sub component-2 till have enough CPU to proceed(Again I know it really a bad way to solve an issue)

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='?'))

HOW CAN WE ASSIGN THREE TASK LIST TO THREE DIFF PRODUCTION ORDER

Respected All
we have one material which is used for three places FIRST IN MILL1, 2ND IN MILL2 AND THIRD IN TRIMMER MILL.
the only thing which differentiate this single material is the production order. we have 3 different production order but one single material. for this we have created 3task list. my problem is when we create batch and confirm it through co15, the lot reflects in QA32. but is not allowing for USAGE DECESION. For that we have to go to QA02, assign the task list and then again go to QA32 and do the usage decesion. is there any method by which we can assign three task list to three production orders so that qa02 step could be avoid.
pls reply
thanks

thank you for the reply could you please tell me in which transaction we find this user exit.

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.

Assigning a task based on an approval workflow

Hello,
Is there a way to create a workflow that includes the following steps without coding:
1. A user submits an IT service request.
2. The request is approved by a Supervisor.
3. The IT Manager assigns the request to a technician.
4. The technician completes the request and attaches the appropriate documentation to the request.
5. The IT Manager sends the completed work to the user.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Amatullah,
The following extention for the Workflow Activities available in SharePoint Designer will allow you to create one or more workfows that satisfy your requirements:
http://spdactivities.codeplex.com/
The worklfow would be configured to start when a new item is added to the list / library, which would assign an approval task (or collect approval status) from the approver (Supervisor).
After the manager assigns the request to a technician and the technician completes the request, the manager may want to confirm/close the request. this would allow the worklfow to continue and/or respond by sending the completed work to the user.
You can either "Collect data from a user" to obtain the "User" to assign the request, have the workflow "Wait for a field change" to obtain the assign to user, as well as other alternatives to get the Assign To details for each
step of the process. A separate field for each would probably be more suitable than re-assigning the task using the same "Assigned To" field each time, as the details each participant will be captured (not an issue if using the "Collect
data from a user" action, as the Assigned To information will be available in the task item created by the workflow).
The custom activities above allow you to do the following, which may assist with your solution:
Specify the sender of an email
Attach list items as email attachments
Without the custom activities, you could develop a similar solution, but you won't be able to attach list items (include links instead), or specify the sender. The approval and request delegation process can be achieved using OOB Workflow Activities
available in SharePoint Designer.

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 task back to the person who created it?

Hi,
Scenario
Person A creates a task
Developer B writes code
Developer B wants to assign the task to the person who created it
pr. today we must find the name of the correct person and assign it back.
Is there any possibility to assign it directly to the person who createt it?
like a tag, @created by

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I was thinking more of a way of doing this directly in the dropdown box "assigned to", the creator could be given a tag like @created by?
Is that possible and if so where do I do the changes?

Synchronize multiple tasks and multiple boards with X-series USB devices

Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to synchronize multiple tasks across multiple X-series USB boards (6353, to be precise).
I have to run a digital output task AND an analog output task on each board. All four tasks (the DO and AO on Board 1, and the DO and AO on Board 2) must be synchronized.
I know how to synchronize multiple tasks on a single board. I've been doing that for years. That works fine.
I know how to synchronize a single task across multiple boards (say, a DO task across 2 different boards). That works fine too.
For the life of me, I can't figure out how to marry the two. Everything I've seen, all of the examples, etc. assume you want to do one or the other, or that you have a RTSI cable available. Are there any examples out there that synchronize multiple tasks across multiple USB boards?
I tried exporting the AO clock signal from my master AO task to PFI12, and then using the signal on PFI12 to as the clock source for the remaining tasks (Dev1/PFI12 physically connected to Dev2/PFI12, and Dev1/PFI12 set as the clock source for Dev1's DO task).
I have also tried setting Dev1/aoSampClock as the source for Dev1's DO task.
Under both configurations, I invariably get error -89137 when I try to start the tasks -- required resources (PFI12) in use by Dev1/do/SampClock. I understand what the error is telling me. What I don't understand is why I'm receiving this error when I don't have any of my tasks configured to use the DO Sample Clock. It seems as though it is not possible to export a clock signal to a PFI line and simultaneously run a clocked digital task, even if the clock source for that task is specified as something other than the DO Sample Clock?
So, my question is, is it possible to do what I want to do? And if so, how do I do it? How do I configure a common clock source across multiple tasks running on multiple USB boards?
Hoping for insight from those wiser than I...
Diane
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Update: I decided to try using a counter as the source clock. One cannot use counter 0 to accomplish this, but it does appear to work with counter 1.
I'll take what I can get. Fortunately I have two spare counters. (Yes, I'm running counter tasks too -- 6 of them -- but they don't have to be synchronized.)
I have to add both digital and analog input tasks as well -- all synchronous with each other, but not with the output tasks since they'll be running at different sample rates. I hope I'm able to use a counter as the source clock for those as well.
My head aches.
