BOIS 4.2 - Disabling Rule Approval Workflow

Greetings,
How can we disable the rule approvals workflow in Information Steward ? from the application itself or from CMC ?
Regards,

Rule Approval is a part of rule management and governance process around validation rules. It's not possible to disable the rule approval.
Can you explain your scenario and need for disabling the rule approval?

OIM 11g - Approval workflows for disabled user accounts

Hi,
We have a scenario wherein a user will be created in OIM with a future start date resulting in a Disabled Untill Start Date user status. Once the user is created, we should let anyone submit a New Hire form for the user and the submitted form needs to be approved by the Manager. Once the Manager approves the form, the target accounts should get created with disabled status. These accounts should get enabled on the start date.
As submission of New Hire Form is not a straightforward process, we came up with the following design.
A dummy resource object corresponding to the New Hire Form will be created and can be requested for a newly hired person by anyone who has OIM access. An approval workflow will be configured for the New Hire Form Resource object and provisioning of target accounts will be based on Manager's approval for this resource object.
However the challenge that we see with this design is, it wasn't possible to place a request for New Hire Form dummy resource object for a disabled user. But the requirement is to complete the New Hire Form submission process befor the user becomes active.
How can these workflows be invoked for a disbaled user? Is there any other way to implement this requirement?
Any kind of help/guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Deepa

If I create a dummy resource, called "Group Membership" for example, and use this to show the groups that are available in AD, how can I have the request be routed to different approvers? For example, group cn=HR Users,cn=Users,dc=company,dc=com needs to be routed to HR for approval. Group cn=IT,cn=Users,dc=company,dc=com needs to be routed to IT for approval. How can I change the approvers dynamically?
Re: Spawning multiple approval tasks in parallel in OIM11g SOA Composite
You can have dynamic task assignment in BPEL; where you defne a variable in the task assignment and update the variable with the approver group name before triggering the task assignment task. Check BPEL docs for same.
If every group needs a different approver, and there are 5000 groups, can I make 5000 resources and use the built-in routing of approvals? Or, use the dummy resource approach and handle the management of the approvals in some other way.Just make one resource with one field attached to it which takes in the group name and handle approval in SOA by reading a lookup which has AD group to Approval Group mapping.

Trying to set up an out of the box SP 2010 approval workflow that doesn't generate warnings or errors

I have a custom list for which I want an approval workflow. There is only going to be one stop for the approval - creating an item is a request to a person for a new code to be created.
If I do not turn on content approval, then I get the message:
The workflow could not set content approval status. Enable content moderation for this list and run the workflow again.
When I turn on content approval, then when the users go to the custom list to create an item, they see this message:
Items on this list require content approval. Your submission will not appear in public views until approved by someone with proper rights.
Surely I am missing something obvious. I just want a standard SP 2010 form without warnings to gather info from the user, then to create a workflow task that sends a person an email that they need to approve or reject the request.
The second message is going to cause questions from the users. The person who has to approve the tasks wants to be able to see what requests are awaiting approval vs approved vs rejected.
Is this something that is not doable in SP 2010?

the "Approval Process" step is designed for manipulating the "Moderation Status" (Content Approval status) of a list item... What you are seeing is DESIGNED behavior.
When Content Approval is enabled, content changes are not made public until they have been approved. The Approval workflow sends the email to a manager, who is supposed to approve or reject the change.
If Content Approval is DISABLED, there is no point to the workflow.

Problem with custom sharepoint designer approval workflow - check box: 'Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item' is greyed out

I wanted to create a simple approval workflow. Hence I opted to start from scratch rather than copy the OOTB approval WF. Using SharePoint Designer (not Visual studio) I created a reusable workflow and have added the built in 'Start approval process' action.
It's saved and published globally.
Everything works fine except that when associating the WF with a list the 'Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item' check box is disabled.
Major and minor versioning is enabled for the library.
What am I missing here? Or do I have to start from the OOTB approval WF to get this to work?
Regards
Henning

Again - new ideas pop up right after defining the issue as a problem. :-) Problem solved!
I solved this by creating a new workflow from the original publishing approval workflow (copy and replace), but instead of tweaking the already defined approval process (WF action) I deleted it, then deleted all initiation form and local variables,
and then added the 'Start approval process' action again. This re-installs all the necessary local variables without any initiation form involvement, which is just what I want.
From here I can tweak the workflow to make it more user friendly, much like
described by Bobby Chiang in his great blog.
Remember to add action Set Workflow Variable 'EnableContentApproval' to Yes right before the Start Approval Process action, else the document's status won't be set to 'Approved' or 'Rejected' as an output of the workflow.
Learning every day!

OIM 11gR2 - Out-of-the-box Approval Workflows

Does anyone know of any good resources that describes the out-of-the-box approval/provisioning workflows of 11g R2? I have searched Google back and forth but found nothing. Some of the workflows are obvious by their name (such as default/BeneficiaryManagerApproval!1.0), but others are not so clear regarding their flows.
On that same note, can one of the out-of-the-box approval workflows be configured to route to an approval group instead of single users?
Thanks for your help!

Instead of searching for docs in google i guess reverse-engineering on your own will be the best way to understand the approval workflows. Navigate to OIM_HOME/server/workflows/composites. It will contain all the approval workflow zip files. Unzip the required one which you want to understand and there will be a .jws file in it. Now open that in jdeveloper and open AprrovalProcess.bpel and composite.xml. It will show how the approval routes and what are the business rules written, everything. It is the best way to understand the approval workflows.
In the same way u can make changes to the out-of-the-box approval workflows also. See this OBE tutorial to understand how you can assign the approval to a group
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/oim/oim_11g/Request_Workflow_for_Self_Registration/request_workflow_for_self_registration.htm
Also please try the approval workflow given in the developer's guide which covers most of the basics.

Restrict editing/deleting item when approval workflow is in progress

I have a list for contributors to submit documents and activate an approval workflow. The requirement is to restrict all users from editing and deleting the document once the workflow is activated. After the workflow is completed, if the document
is approved, all users also should not be able to edit/delete the item; if the document is rejected, users should regain the permission to edit/delete the item.
I had no problem with restricting edit/delete permission after the document is approved by adding a Declare Record action after the content approval status is set to approved in SPD.
However, the workflow was not able to complete when I added a Declare Record action in the "When the Task Process Starts" step and an Undeclare Record action in the very beginning of the "When the task process completes" step to restrict users from editing/deleting
the item when the workflow is in progress.
After I activated the workflow and approved the item, the Workflow status shows Approved but the Approval status still shows Pending. In addition, the "Approval Workflow Task is complete" (shown in the following image) is missing in the workflow history,
which seems to me that the workflow task is never completed.
Please advise me the proper way to restrict users from editing/deleting the document while the workflow is in progress. Thank you.

then use SPD to customize the task process to lock them out upon starting and give them rights again upon rejection.

SOD Detour in Role Approval Workflow possible?

Hello GRC Experts,
we have implemented an Access Request Approval Workflow with a Detour Rule (GRAC_MSMP_DETOUR_SODVIOL).
The second workflow we are working at is the Role Approval Workflow. Is it possible to use the SOD Detour Rule also in Role Approval Workflow? I didnt find the SOD Detour Rule in the MSMP Role Approval Workflow.
We would like to implement a following Scenario:
if the role contains an SOD the request should take Path 1 and if not Path 2.
Is it in MSMP Standard possible or should we use BRF+ for creating a Detour Rule?
Thanks,
Best Regards
Sabrina

Hi Sabrina,
For Access Request workflow, we generally use GRAC_MSMP_DETOUR_SODVIOL to implement routing rule(based on detour condition - risk found). Purpose of same (if I am not mistaken) is to through the request to another level of approver wherein mitigation monitor agent reviews the mitigation performed by role owner stage and approve/reject the request.
But, when we create a role same is not the condition as we do not mitigate role level risk thus no need to go for mitigation monitor stage. May be you have some business scenario, if you can let us know will be gr8.
For the rule ID, did you try adding the rule ID ?(you may already know, still would like to cross check with you).
GRAC_MSMP_DETOUR_SODVIOL under list of rules for "
Role Approval Workflow" In the screenshot you have shown, just click on ADD feed -
Rule ID -GRAC_MSMP_DETOUR_SODVIOL.
Rule description - same as Access request.
Rule type - Function module based
rule kind - routing rule.
Add this and check if it works and let us know the result too.

Nishant

Financials AWE - EOAW_CORE.ENGINE error when submitting approval workflow

I'm getting the following error when trying to approve or preview and save a requisition with approval workflow (awe) enabled in our stage environment. It works correctly in our development environment, and I've tried comparing all of the configurations, roles, permission lists, templates, etc., to assure that they match, but something is still awry. I've compared a lot of table contents between both environments; although I may be missing some. Can anyone give me some ideas as to what to look for to see what might be missing from our stage environment that might have been overlooked? When workflow for requisitions is disabled; the requisition saves correctly.

Validation in approval workflow

Hi,
I am new to OIM 11gR1.
I have created one approval workflow, RequesterManagerApproval in jDeveloper.
When the user raises a request, the request will go to Requester's Manager.
We have to check that Requester's Manager should not be blank or disabled.
If it is blank, the request should be rejected and a notification mail should be sent to requester.
Kindly suggest how to configure the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Aparna

It is sample.

Refer Appendix A for sample code.
Use Java Embeded Activity to validate requester's manager and make use of Email Activity to send email.

Approval Workflow for Self Registration

Hi ,
I have a requirement where I have to develop an approval workflow for self registration.
My requirement is If the user type is Employee the user must not go through approval, but if the user type is contractor they must go to some admin user for approval.
How can I achieve this.
Regards

Hi,
You can refer this link "Create a Custom Approval Process for Self Registration" it might clear your doubts. Also you can create rule as said in below post. For that you can refer "http://codigoctm.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/lab-06-access-policy.pdf".

GRC AC V10 - Mitigation Control Approval Workflow

Hi guys,
can me explain somebody the difference between the processID SAP_GRAC_CONTROL_ASGN und SAP_GRAC_CONTROL_MAINT?
And as well can somebody provide me the initiator rule ID for both so that we can have a detailed look into the brfplus rule.
We only want to mitigate controls via an controlowner approval and not a process for the creation of new controls.
That means an asisgnment approval workflow for mitigation controls.
Thanks a lot.

Hello Alexa,
Did you ever employ SAP_GRAC_CONTROL_ASGN ? Were you able to identify the included agents ?
I am interested in identifying approvers for mitigating controls who can be included in the workflow but are not risk owners. Would you have any suggestions for this type of agent ?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jamie

Publishing Approval Workflow breaks when created

When I attempt to create a Publishing Approval Workflow I receive the error message: This form cannot be opened in a Web browser. To open this form, use Microsoft Infopath.
This doesn't even have to be on a list that has been created with infopath. I tried to create a workflow on a simple list and received the same error message.
Let me also say that Publishing is enabled as well as the workflow. It shows as being active too.
To compound matters when I look at the correlation ID error message in the logs I get some real strange errors that I am not sure how they are related.
The first message shows the correct site page and the list id:
Name=Request (POST:http://myserver.com:80/Emp/Health/_layouts/CstWrkflIP.aspx?List=%7BCC7A77B8-BAF9-47B3-82C4-592C66F04D35%7D)
The next one is throwing me off completely:
CreatePageFromUrlNoUpperCase failed with ArgumentException. Url = '/SUPPORT/ED/TEAM/SITEPAGES/HOME.ASPX'.
The High Level Message says:
Leaving Monitored Scope (CachedObjectFactory: Caching Page at: /SUPPORT/ED/TEAM/SITEPAGES/HOME.ASPX). Execution Time=21.8362948363549 What does this page even have to do with the workflow?! I'm beyond confused so I am hoping somone out there
will know where this is coming from.

Hi,
From your error message, I suggest you disable the publishing approval workflow, then enable it again, check the result.

Contract N-Step approval workflow - WS14000148

Hi,
I have activated the workflow template WS14000148 and implemented the badi definition 'BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI' to populate the agents for routing the workflow notification.
When i create a contract, the workitem is going to the corresponding manager, but the 'Approve' and 'Reject' buttons are disabled on the Approval step of the workitem. I have checked for activation of work flow tasks, and also assigned agents to the required tasks.
Can anyone please help why the 'Approve' and 'Reject' buttons are disabled.
Thanks,
Raghu.

Hi,
See the foll related threads:
Approve reject button is disabled
Re: Approve Reject button in Item level is disable
Also see the foll notes:
Note 967429 - Approval buttons not updated after release
Note 1074724 - WS14000148:Button "Return to approver" does not work
Note 1019390 - Contract APPROVE/REJECT button displayed even after approval
