Back and Forth Logic in process-controlled (BRF) workflows in SRM 7.0

Hi all,
I am using the process-controlled workflow in SRM 7.0.
The approval itself works ok, but now I am trying to set up the back-and-forth functionality (similar to how it worked for the Badi in SRM 5.0) as default:
This is what happens:
Requester creates shopping cart.
Shopping cart goes for approval.
Approver rejects SC.
Back at the requester the SC can only be displayed, but not changed.
As far as I can tell this happens for any kind of decision set (as long as all items are rejected).
This is what I am trying to set up.:
Once the SC is back at the requester, he can either accept the rejection OR change the SC and 're-order' it ie send it back to approver again.
I know if the requester checks the flag 'Work Item to Requester at Process End' this can be done, but I need the system to have this functionality automatically without setting a flag manually.
I really appreciate any suggestions on this issue.
Cheers
Ulrike

Dear Masa,
thanks for your helpful answer. I have an better idea now, but I am still not quite able to set it up.
I have applied note 1296209.
When i tried to set up this step I did the following:
level type of that step I used 'Approval with completion'.
Created Expression of type SAP Formula Interpreter, with return type Boolean, and use formula:
0V_WF_CURRENT_DECISI = 'REJECTED'
linked the evaluation id to above expression.
Task id for the step is: 40007994 - Accept Decision / Adjust Document
When i do this and create a SC, my system dumps after clicking on describe requirement::
  The following error text was processed in the system SR7 :  The method could not be found at dynamic call.
The error occurred on the application server SAP01_SR7_07 and in the work process 1 .
The termination type was: RABAX_STATE
The ABAP call stack was:
      Method: CALL_RFW of program /SAPSRM/CL_WF_RULE_CONTEXT====CP
      Function: /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP000 of program /SAPSRM/SAPLWF_BRF_DATA
      Method: PROCESS_SPECIFIC of program CL_CALL_FUNC_METHOD_BRF=======CP
      Method: IF_RULE_COMPONENT_BRF~PROCESS of program CL_EXPRESSION_BASE_BRF========CP
      Method: GET_RESULT of program CL_EXPRESSION_POOL_BRF========CP
      Method: IF_EXPRESSION_BRF~GET_SUBEXPRESSION of program CL_EXPRESSION_BASE_BRF========CP
      Method: IF_FOEV_CONNECTOR~EVALUATE of program CL_FORMULA_BRF================CP
      Method: EVALUATE of program CL_FOEV_FORMULA===============CP
      Method: EVALUATE of program CL_FOEV_FORMULA===============CP
      Method: EVALUATE of program CL_FOEV_FORMULA===============CP
What I don't understand about your explanation is what you mean by "Acceptance by Contact person". I don't have that option anywhere in my BRF? Is that supposed to show up under Resp. Resolver Name (like RR_MANAGER)?
Also where did you add that step in Process level configuration? I have 2 approval steps (just approval, without completion) and then i wanted to enter this step after those levels before the automatic system decision.  But i wasn't able as the system doesn't allow you to add a completion step after a 'normal' approval step.
Cheers for your help

  • SRM 7.0 Process-Controlled (BRF) Workflow -- Error message to Shopping Cart

    I am modifying a BRF Expression used to calculate approval levels.  During this calculation, I may run into error conditions (e.g. Currency tranlsation not found) that I want to display to the user (in the Shopping Cart).
    I have tried raising the following exceptions:
    /sapsrm/CX_WF_RULE_ERROR.
    /sapsrm/CX_WF_RULE_ABORT.
    Raising these exceptions do result in SLG1 log entries being written, but the User is not informed of the error (ie. at top of shopping cart where other messages display).
    I can probably jump out of the Webdynrpo to read logs, but thought there MUST be some standard way of passing error conditions from the BRF, back to WF, and then back to the Webdynpro Window.
    Anybody raise error messages back to the online user from Process-Controlled Workflow?
    Thanks,
    - Tim

You can implement this Badi to raise a custom error,warning message. You can build your brf logic in the BADI implementation..

    Hi Saravanan,
    I am actually modifying the Approval Limit Checks (for multi-currency translations) that you recently coded in Maryland.  It can occur that errors occur in determining limits (new Currency translation I just added), or during the lookup of agents (ie user config is inconsistent).
    In these cases, I can make the shopping cart Dump, by raising untrapped error messages, or assertions.   However, I would like to raise exceptions that get trapped (such as the ones I identified in original post), and then make their way to the shopping cart.
    Unless I am missing something, I don't think the WF BADIs, or BRF are gonna communicate errors back to the shopping cart, even though these components are called during cart creation and checks.
    I realize that I can recode the Agent Determination BADIs,  BRF calls, or even read BRF logs within BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI.  I mentioned this in my original posting as well.
    Anyway, any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    - Tim

  • Position drift during the stepper motor controlled back and forth motion

    Hi everyone there,
    I get a headache position drift problem during the stepper motor controlled back and forth motion. I have been wroking on the problem for the last two weeks, and still can not figure it out. So I write down here my problem in hope of getting some clues from those have some experiences in stepper motor motion control.
    My goal is to use a stepper motor to drive a beam flage fixed onto the shaft to go back and forth for a certain angle, and this back and forth motion needs to be stable and reproducible within hours. With the SMD1 stepper motor driver, I only need to send in a pulse train to control the number of steps(the pulse frequency defines the stepping rate), and another pulse to controle the direction (i.e., cw or ccw). To do this, in LabView, I used the counter of the DAQ board to produce a finite pulse train to step the motor, and used one digital line to produce a pulse to switch the direction every 500ms, the timing is contolled by the software.(I used the oscilloscope to monitor these two pulses, the pulse train produced by the counter looks very stable, and delay between the pulse edges of the direction pulse and the pulse train is also very stable within 500ms. There seems no software timing problems at such a long delay.)  And this labview controlled motor appears to work perfectly as I required, the motor steps a defined number of steps at one direction, and then steps back at the origin position. But after running for a few minutes, the back position shifts gradually(I can not observe a obvious shift at the first few minutes) with repect to the origin position(the position I start running). I looked it up at the manual and also the website, I got a clue that this might because the motor steps at the resonace frequency of the motor and hence misses or takes extral steps sometimes. So I changed the steping rate from 1Hz to 1000Hz to see if the shift disappears or gets smaller at certain frequency range, but the shift always exists.
    I did observe the shift got smaller within the same running time when change the step model from full step (1.8degree/step)to half and quarter step model. According to this, the motor did miss steps (or pulses) during running, the quarter step model has smaller shift due to the smaller steps.  But I also noticed that the motor always shift at one direction, no matter I started with clockwise or counter-clockwise, this seems really strange to me. Because the motor should shift at each direction with the same probability if we assume the motor missis steps randomly.
    There is something must be wrong, either the labveiw program or the motor, but I don't even know a clue of this weird shift problem. And because of this, I haven't made any progress in my lab for the last three weeks. So any suggestions could be very helpful for solving this headache and will be really appreciated.
    Thanks a million in advance and Merry Christmas!
    Li

    Hey, Brian Beal,
    Thanks for your quick response. "accel" and "decel" mean acceleration and deceleration, am I understanding right?
    If yes, then I don't have these in my LabView program, I just generate one TTL pulse train and one TTL pulse with LabView and send them into the SMD1 stepper motor driver.
    The pulse train steps the shaft, and the other switchs the direction.
    Yesterday, I confirmed that if the motor steer always at one direction either CW or CCW, then the stepping were very stable, no missing or extra steps happen for hours.
    And I also observed that the motor took one extra step  from time to time when the direction changes. And this only happens when the direction switch from CW to CCW. (bizarre!)
    I guess this indicates that some pulse noise happens when the motor switch the direction too often.  But I just don't have any clue for irregular extra steps.

  • Tired of going back and forth between control room, iso booth; suggestions?

    As a solo "artist" in my studio, I'm tired of going back and forth between my control room and iso booth when tracking. I usually have to bring my mic into the control room to get the levels right and then take it back in. And then there's hitting the record button and running in there.
    I've tried ProTransport from Far Out Labs as a device to control my rig from inside my iso booth. It's choppy and doesn't always work, so I'm not a fan (at least not yet). I know there's "ProRemote" from them that lets me see levels too but if ProTransport ($8) isn't smooth/easy, I don't want to lay out $40 or so for ProRemote.
    I tried just having my laptop in the iso booth with all else (preamp, A/D interface, hard drive) on the other side of the wall (cords running through a small hole). This is ok my the laptop still has some noise (and I want to record quiet/acoustic material).
    I've thought about buying an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse and just having those in the iso booth (connected via the hole in the wall), but that would cost money, of course.
    I was just wondering what others in the same situation do.
    Thanks.

    I'll add my voice to the chorus, Tranzport. You learn how to use it fairly quickly, it uses bluetooth to connect but will go quite a ways away from the console because it has this 'antenna' to get the signal stronger and closer to your source.
    Now since you also have the problem of controlling mic levels etc... the Tranzport won't control your preamp. For that I use the Universal Audio DCS. This is a piece sent from heaven. GREAT Mic preamps (2 of them) full remote control over them, AND you get to control the headphone mix in the remote control unit. The weird thing is that UA decided to discontinue it, so you might find it on eBay or somewhere for cheap. I am not sure why they discontinued it, it's a wonderful piece of gear.

  • Library & Develop modes -- back-and-forth!

    I shoot mostly events, and have to process hundreds of images at a sitting.  98% of the time it's just density, color-correction, and cropping.  Since I have to work quickly, I find the adjustment buttons in the Library module much faster to use than the sliders in the Develop module.  A long time back I asked if it would be possible to have cropping available in the Library module so I wouldn't have to change back and forth between modules, and was told by Jeff Schewe and others that it's not possible.
    So, that got me thinking:  If it's not possible to incorporate Crop into the Library module, how difficult would it be to build a "switch" in the Develop module, that would change all the sliders into buttons with one click?   To change them individually would be even better, but that would probably clutter the interface. Either way would be fine though.  If I had the button option, I would actually prefer to stay in the Develop module as there are other useful controls available there that are absent from Library.
    I can't be the only photographer who wants this -- in fact I've spoken  to several other event photogs who use LR, and they all wish they could just use the buttons and not have to switch modules in order to crop.
    How about it?  Any votes for this?

    Except that means moving the mouse over the relevant slider, then setting it down because I need both hands to do the "Shift +-" routine (or a very klutzy move to do it all with the left hand on the right side of the keyboard).  That slows things down considerably.  
    Luckily, the shift key is right next to the arrow keys on a standard keyboard. All you need is two fingers, not hands. Also, you dont need to hold shift. up and down by themselves will work but wont be in large increments.

    I get the impression that the people who design this stuff don't work with it much in real-world day-to-day situations.   I recognize that as users, we aren't aware of the programming difficulties;  but conversely, the developers seem to be somewhat unaware or unconcerned with usability issues.  Otherwise, you'd think they would do better in the ergonomics department.  Like I said before, all the event photographers I know are quite annoyed by having to choose between putting up with sliders in the Develop module, or having to go back and forth between modules.  Either way, it slows us down unnecessarily.
    I am a workiing photographer who uses LR on a daily basis and never use quick adjustments in the library.  Some people obviously do and LR has made it availalbe while also being friendly to other forms of editing. I feel the LR team has done well to encompose many photographer's day to day needs into the interface.

  • I use my ipod for audible books downloads. In the past I have been able to move books back and forth from library to ipod according to what I was listening to.  I can no longer retreive books in the library. Any suggestions?

    I use  my 6th generation Ipod strictly for Audible downloads.  In the past, I have been able to move titles back and forth from the Ipod and my Itunes library, to control the amount books on the ipod. Recently, an exclamation mark has appeared next to the titles as I try to transfer to the ipod, and the book does not transfer.  Any suggestions on how to regain access to my purchased library? 

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • Can you move files back and forth between an iPad and a PC using iTunes?

    If I read this article correctly, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094 I should be able to connect my iPad to my PC, fire up iTunes and then on the Apps tab in iTunes I should be able to click on an app, Pages for example and then just drag files onto the Pages Documents column from a Windows Explorer window.
    This is great.  I was hoping to use DropBox but it is such a hassle I don't know why people are so thrilled with DropBox on iPad.  If I can just move files back and forth using iTunes that should be fairly easy.  I wish there was a way to just upload my files to iCloud from my PC but the iCloud control panel app for Windows only seems to connect Outlook, Photostream and Bookmarks. I want to be able to just carry my iPad and not have to deal with a computer. 
    I thought that they said that you didn't need to have a computer to have an iPad.  I guess if you have a computer and then GET an iPad its a different story, unless you have a Mac of course.
    Anyway my question is: can you move files back and forth between a PC and an iPad using just iTunes?

    I still need to do some trial and error testing with DropBox and my iPad.  But can I link my iPad to my DropBox account so that I can always see the files on DropBox when I open Pages on my iPad?  I just want one place to store my documents, and iCloud doesn't seem to be up to the task when it comes to opening a fil;e, editing it and then saving it back to iCloud.  I just want a networked storage location that works like a networked drive on my LAN.
    I realize that hollywood and the music industry are up in arms about file sharing on the Cloud which is why so many things are made more difficult than they need to be. 

  • On my imac, All of a sudden I am unable to send original emails with any attachments.  I can attach the file but when I try to send it, it won't send.  Also, if I am emailing back and forth as it gets longer, it no longer transmits

    On my imax, all of a sudden I am unable to send original emails with attachments of any size.  I can attached the file but when I try to transmit, it will not go.
    Also, if I am emailing back and forth, once there gets to be several threads, it will no longer transmit.  Any suggestions. I am using gmail in the apple mail system

    Mike,
    Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
    I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer.  Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected.  It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

  • IPhoto 8.1.2 - on a teacher's iBook: Worked flawlessly 2 weeks ago. Now it continues to lock up, it often will not import scans, I can not rotate a picture - it just flips back and forth. HELP I need to get a project out!

    I created a beautiful Keepsake book a week or so ago. It worked flawlessly. Since - I've had several problems (nothing has changed on the computer/system). iPhoto will frequently lock up causing me to force quit. Other times, upon opening, it says that I don't have permission or something to open it. It often is not importing a scan saying it is an unrecognizable format (it's what I used before). When trying to rotate a photo it keeps flipping back and forth and wont stay put.
    iPhoto 8.1.2
    I've run Disk Utilities multiple times - fixes for about 1-2 scans/launches of iPhoto
    I've restarted the computer.
    I've tried to update - but can't locate a version my computer will allow me to update to.
    Using an HP C3180 scanner/printer --- that is also recently not working ---- locks up, takes FOREVER to scan and then show up on the desktop.
    HELP ME!!!! We're trying to get 2 books out for our students before the end of the school year.
    Thanks

    Sounds like your Library is corrupted to me. Simple solution: restore form your back up.
    Other than that:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • Switch back and forth from Chinese and English in Forms and Reports 6i

    How do you switch back and forth from Chinese and english in forms and reports 6i? Tried changing regional settings in the control panel. Tried changing registry entry for nls_lang from american and chinese, none of them work! Can anyone help?
    Chinese version of forms and reports 6i is installed. Only way I can change between english and chinese is to keep installing the version I want. Is there any other way?

  • Apple TV 2 - Does the display flip back and forth ?

    The original Apple TV had an irritating feature whereby the on-screen image would flip back and forth every 30 sec or so.  There was no way to disable this feature, and it ruined an otherwise good product (IMO).
    Can anyone tell me if the ATV 2 also has this feature, and if it has, can it be disabled ?

    Actually it is unnecessary, unless you use a CRT or plasma TV.
    Not in all cases.

    I suspect modern LCD panels are better but I used to get awful image retention on an LG LCD.
    It was worse than effects I get on my current plasmas.
    Anyway, I agree the flipping artwork is pretty annoying - I usually just turn the TV off with AppleTV 1 and use the iPhone to control the audio.  I've not tested AppleTV2 hooked up to the hi-fi but some suggest you can't get audio when TV is off as the loss of HDMI comms puts AppleTV2 to sleep.

  • Screen vibrates when booting up. It fluctuates very fast between Safari and Microsoft Messenger. Back and forth .... flicking away .... back and forth, very, very, quickly. And then when its completely finished booting, everything is OK.

    I sign in and when Safari opens, whilst Microsoft Messenger is downloading, the monitor screen vibrates between Safari and Messenger at a very, very, fast pace. Back and forth, back and forth, alternating between the two. When the booting process is completed the computer is fine. Everything is OK. Anyone know what is causing this, and what to do about it?

    YES .... but they have always been set to open at login. I must admit that if Messenger isn't set to open at login this doesn't happen. But even though Safari opens at login, the opening page in Safari doesn't open; I have to click on Safari again, (when I am reminded after the computer has booted-up), because the monitor screen is just blank! Then after a click on the Safari icon the screen fills up in a second. Gees, what have I unintentionally done?

  • HP PhotoSmart 6525 Switching Back-and-Forth between Wireless and USB

    Hi,
    I setup my HP PhotoSmart 6525 using the "Wireless with a router" setup instructions (i.e. not Wireless Direct).  I am able to print from my laptop through the wireless network.  I would also like to be able to print from my laptop using the USB connection at times when my laptop is physically sitting next to the printer.  At times when it is not, I want to continue to be able to print wirelessly.
    Is it possible to setup the print drivers on the laptop so that I can easily switch back-and-forth between USB printing and wireless network printing?  I suspect that it may not be possible because the user guide has a section describing how to "Change from a USB connection to a wireless network" that has you click on a menu item called "Convert a USB connected printer to wireless".  There are no instructions for how to convert back to USB.  Moreover, the use of the word "convert" does not make it sound like you can maintain both print methods simultaneously on a single computer.
    Does anyone know whether it can be done, and if so how?
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul2
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hey Paul2,
    I see you have the HP Photosmart 6525 installed for Wireless printing capacity and would also like to add a USB driver so that it is available for use when near the printer.  Please follow the steps below to add a copy of the printer for USB printing.  The below steps are for Windows 7 and below based computers.  If you have Windows 8, then the steps will be slightly different so let me know.  Please let me know if you have a Mac, because I can provide those steps at that time.
    Press the Start menu of the computer
    Select All Programs
    Open the HP Folder
    Open the folder for the HP Photosmart 6520 series
    Select "Printer Setup and Software"
    Select the option to Add a new printer
    Select the USB option
    Plug the USB cable in when the software requests it and proceed through the install process
    This will leave the Wireless driver support in place and add a second printer under the Devices and Printers window for USB printing.  The USB printer may contain Copy 1 in the name as a differentiation, however the other one should also state Network in the printer name to indicate it is the wireless option.
    I hope this helps,
    Jason

  • Switching back and forth between keys on vocal track

    I followed the instructions in the garage band tutorial for changing key (pitch?) of a vocal track for part of the project. Doesn't seem to work the way they suggest - calling up master track, adding a point on the automation line where I want change to begin and raising automation line on other side to raise pitch. No change seems apparent.
    This vocal track is actually a rap that involves a person talking to a bug. I recorded the rap in key of D, want to raise pitch of the part that has the bug 'talking' to give it cartoony effect. I tested it on whole track by changing key normal way and raising key from 'D' to 'G' seemed to have best 'feel' for what I want. Can I switch keys back and forth in Garage Band and if so, how?
    I also have Soundtrack installed with my Final Cut Pro, but would like to stick with Garage Band for this project if possible.
    Judy

    if you read the docs, your own recordings are not affected by the master pitch.
    for your project it probably makes more sense to use the Vocal Transformer effect anyway (the alternate choice would be to use the Region Pitch control in the Track Editor)
