Can I edit seeded workflow process

I have created a new notification for PO approval notification. I want the PO approval workflow to use it.
So, I tried to modify the seeded "Notify Approver Subprocess" to use my new notification. But, it is read
only in workflow builder.
Can I not modify a seeded process?

Please see the following docs.

Dear Friends,
I do have a question for deactivate the seeded worflow process. Which means the current process i am not going to use anywhere. I needed to create the new process for Seeded worflow why because this is the worflow having some standard Procedure. Those procedure only will meet my requirement. In such case i wanted to create new processes in that going to call seeded procedure.
Could you please help me out how deacivate the seeded processes from Oracle Standard workflow ( Name of the workflow is HZ USER CREATION API Workflow) Now current they are created for Customer creation processes. My requirement is need to Create the new process for User-Id creation.
I hope everybody will understand my requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,

Hi Gareth,
The current workflow process i am not going to call anywhere.My requirement is not meet the current process.
In the same workflow i need to create new process for user_id creation. The existing workflow process is working for only customer creation. Thats why i need to deactivate the current process after that need to create new process for user-id creation. First time i am doing such kind of activities. Please guide me how to do?

Hi,
IIRC (and I haven't got a Workflow system handy to check), the Workflow is launched by a business event - if you disable the seeded business event, then that will stop the workflow launching.

Cannot edit a workflow process

Hello,
please help:
When I select a workflow in Tools 7.8 (on the local database) and right click it and select "Edit Workflow Process" from the context menu, I get this error:
The property 'Drop Sectors' must be set for this view.(SBL-DAT-00237)
Any ideas what this is caused by? Maybe my local database is corrupted?
Thanks a lot

How I can auto approve pending workflow process, once month end proces

I have created workflow process for timesheet approval.
I want to auto approve all pending timesheet (i.e (default notification timeout is 7 days) notification send to approver, but still not approved) in Oracle workflow Process, when Month end process started
Month end process will initiate a flag in pending timesheet header table with process started

I am not sure if I understand your requirements completely.
1) If your requirement is that all the pending timsheets have to be approved by month-end (not really when month-end process starts) then set the Timeout of the notification to Absolute Time of end of that month... so that by the end of the month the background engine will pick it up.
You may design the approval notification within a Sub-process with RESULT attribute of Approve / Reject. Design a Timeout transition for the Notification Activity within the sub-process that will go to an END activity that has Approve result. Thus once the notification times out, the sub-process will complete with result APPROVED.
2) One other way is to respond to OPEN notifications using APIs.
WF_NOTIFICATION.SetAttrText(nid, 'RESPOND', 'APPROVED');
WF_NOTIFICATION.Respond(nid);
You should have queried up all OPEN notifications for Timesheet approval and do this in a loop... which could be time-consuming sometimes.
Thanks

Edit Approval Workflow - Task Rejection Email

How can I Edit Approval Workflow - Task Rejection Email?

Hi Sunil,
Thank you for your posting!
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to edit the Task Rejection Email for your Approval Workflow. Please take steps as below:
1.Open your site in the SharePoint Designer, go to Workflows->open the workflow you want to modify ->click the Approval->click on “Change
the behavior of the overall task process” in the Approval editor page.
2.Find the Step “When the Task Process Completes”-> “Set workflow status to Rejected.”
3.Add two “Set Workflow Variable” from Action on the ribbon,Click on “workflow
variable” then select “Variable: CompletionMailTitle”(editing the email title) and “Variable: CompletionMailReason”(editing the email body).
4.Scroll below and click on the last action – “Email Workflow Context: Initiator” under “Else”,remove
the first line.

Interrupt workflow process in process controlled workflow

Hello experts,
In a custom requirement, we need to interrupt the workflow process.
For example, if we have 4 levels of approval. After the 2nd approver has approved the shopping cart, then the workflow process should be kept on hold. Based on a custom interface result, if the condition from another interface is satisfied, then the shopping cart should appear in 3rd approver's UWL.
I tried with triggering interrupt method of class /SAPSRM/cl_wf_apv_facade in save BADI of shopping cart. But it did not work.
Please let me know how can i interrupt the workflow process till some custom condition is satisfied.
Regards,
Yayati Ekbote

Quite often this kind of requirements can be fulfilled by using wait steps in the workflow. One example could be that you put a "wait for event" step in your workflow template. Then you could trigger this event from your interface (or whatever) with function module SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT.
Maybe I should ask that how do you know that the condition has been fulfilled? Is it a field in a certain table, or? If yes, instead of the "wait for event" step, you could also wait that your condition is fulfilled (a field in your table gets value X). Just take a look into the workflow template and its step types. Wait step is the way to go.
Of course it might be possible that in the SRM/shopping cart workflows, there is already something built-in, which can be then utilized by using some of the BADIs, but if you cannot find anything from the documentation, then choose one of the above-mentioned approaches.
Regards,
Karri

Reusing a workflow process in Workbench ES4

Can someone tell h ow can I reuse a workflow process that I have created in Workbench ES4?For example, the workflow allows the user to submit a form,……..then a flatten version of the completed form is sent via email to the Form Owner for review. Additionally, the email also includes a link that allows the Form Owner to view the flatten form in SharePoint.

You have not given a hint what type of problem it is. Why the Workflow is going into error Please analyse the Wflow log and provide information so that we can help you.

Can a workflow process continue from form trigger?

in my workflow project i have launched a workflow process from a form.in the process there is a notification from which i can open a form for further modification of data .currently i am continuing this particular process by pressing an 'updated' button in the notification after updating the data from form. if not updated it'll send that notification back again.can i do the same functionality through a button say 'updated' in the form called from the notification?
ie i want to continue my process from my custom form called from notification,not by responding the notification's button itself .
anyway i have completed the project succesfully.if anybody needs any help related to the functionalities noted above ( like 1.launching workflow from form or concurrent program
2.opening(querying a custom form with particular data) a custom form from notification.
3.submitting concurrent program from a workflow process ) can contact me at [email protected]

When we consider that email is simply a communications protocol being leveraged by the workflow, it becomes clear that the problem most likely lies in the email enablement of your Archive list. If your Archive list is indeed identical to the Requests
list, then I would take a look at configuration for email on that list as it probably isn't configured correctly. Additionally, you may wish to double check the email alias you're using in the workflow. Sending email to the wrong email address
is just a slip of the keyboard but can result in many hours of debugging. Ultimately, I would recommend tracking the email through Exchange logs to see if it's received and sent correctly.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

DIM Workflow - How can I return task status for workflow process

Hi all,
I'd like to build a DIM workflow process to run a unix shell script. Under the workflow, I've created a task object and assign the unix shell script into it.
Although the DIM workflow works fine to run the unix shell script in the normal case, however, it cannot return the error status in the task when my shell script is failed (such as exit 2 at the end of script).
May I know if there any setting in the workflow/task, in order to change the status on DIM workflow.
Many thanks,
hw

Submitting An Apex form into the Seeded Workflows

Hi all,
I am currently working on a request form that we will use for any new stock items and I want to dump the request, once submitted , into the standard workflows for Inventory like the requisitions workflow for internet procurement.
I basically want to route the requests to supervisors using standard workflows and then once approved have the request routed to our user who maintains our Inventory master for entry via seeded forms in the apps. The entry and request form is basically same principle as creating an email template that gets forwarded to everyone but I intend to add via APEX entry form to an Inventory menu within Oracle and then once submitted have the process utilize workflow for approvals and then have the form automatically routed to Inventory so It can be added into Oracle via standard form entry through the applications.
I am unsure how I actually call workflow from within Apex. Has anyne done something similar?
Thanks
Danny
Edited by: Danny L Sullivan on Jan 28, 2009 2:11 PM

the seeded workflows within Oracle applications specifically - PO Requistions Approval. I need to reload workflow Builder on my machine to get the actual technical name for the workflow out of the database but basically any seeded supervisor driven workflow would work to route the requests. PO/Inventory workflows made the most sense.

Lightroom Metadata editing and workflow is tedious nightmare!

I'm new to Lightroom in just the past month, but have used it enough to see that a serious interface problem makes Lightroom version 1x virtually unusable in a deadline-oriented publishing workflow. Lightroom's Metadata editing and workflow is just a terrible nightmare, and far too tedious and slow. It appears to be an afterthought implemented by good-hearted souls who've never had to edit this sort of information under serious deadline pressures. I know Lightroom is marketed as an image database and not a file browser, but we're all looking to simplify our workflow here and with just a few subtle enhancements, Lightroom could be an excellent file browser and file import manager too.
As it is now, the Lightroom v1x handling of File Naming and Renaming, Metadata Editing and Keyword Editing is poorly implemented and in need of an immediate overhaul to help professional photographers expedite this crucial and time-consuming first step in the archiving workflow. While Lightroom is very good at many other tasks, I give it a big fat "F" of a failing grade for these tasks.
First, the Lightroom Library Module needs an even more simple, linear interface that steps users through a precise procedures (and helps them remember them). Arguably, to accomplish this, the Import function may need to become a separate Module that can be selected and used separately before entering the Library. As File Naming and Renaming, Metadata Editing and Keyword Editing currently are implemented, I, for one, am always forgetting to fill out one of these critical sections and can't even seem to remember that some may need to be done before importing while others appear to be conceived to be done after importing. My point is, all these related steps really need to be done together, but the Interface spreads out the functions too much, and it is nearly impossible to build a logical and linear Import workflow, especially when you are first learning Lightroom.
I'd like to see a workflow that walks me through applying and editing (in order), File Naming, Basic and IPTC Metadata, Captioning and Keywords, so that I don't always forget some obscure step in the process (which I keep doing). Here are some specific suggestions, some of which may prove to be valid, some of which may be problems due to my lack of experience with thye software.
1. As currently implemented, Metadata editing requires too much thought, and does not have enough intelligent automation. Eliminate as much typing as possible (See Photo Mechanic!)
2. Lightroom needs better Metadata Presets. A "Quick Edit" view to simplify interface for editing minimal metadata info (File Name, Basic Info, Keywords, Headline, Limited Copyright Info).
3. Separating Keyword Tags, Metadata Browser, Keywording Presets and Metadata Presets confuses the workflow. They should all appear together under one selectable module that organizes a suggested, linear workflowfor these tasks, but allows it to be customized. This is the sort of tasks that need to be learned by rote memory, and having all these panes floating around on both sides of the photo make it impossible to quickly step through these tasks.
- Name (or Rename) files, Edit/Apply Basic and IPTC Metadata, Edit/Apply Keywords, Import or...
- Import, Name (or Rename) files, Edit/Apply Basic and IPTC Metadata, Edit/Apply Keywords, Import
4. Rename should offer the option of renaming the master file names on the disk, not just file names in the database (which I think is what Lightroom does, but again, this is very confusing for new users)! So, it is my belief that this feature needs a checkbox option to rename one, the other or both. But you need to be able to quickly find this dialog box every time you do an import, and it should not be hidden away out of view under the Library menu. Ideally and logically (for workflow), File Renaming should be handled when starting the Import into Lightroom.
This is critically important because many user

Lightroom metadata editing Part 2 (see Part 1 at top of thread)...
...This is critically important because many users just do not want to trust their images solely to any database and we want the ability to go look for master files with identical names should something go wrong with the software or we decide to edit the file in Photoshop outside of Lightroom or even switch to another library software program.
My own habit is to rename every file with the date followed by a unique, three-digit file number, as in 20070717_001, 20070717_002...up to 999 etc. (I have never shot more than 999 files in a single day, but this could be a four-digit number). To file these on disk, a folder with a similar naming scheme is created for each day's shoot, although a keyword slug is added to the end instead of file numbers.
5. Metadata Presets (Basic Info, IPTC metadata, EXIF metadata), Keywords need to be able to toggled on or off (promote/demote-expand/contract). Turning Off/On one section at a time via the Metadata Presets popup menu is too tedious...and you can't display IPTC and Large Caption together or leave Large Caption turned on. It also is difficult to remember where the Large Caption default (Preferences) setting is...
6. Please get the EXIF data out of the way entirely when editing captions and visa-versa...And the EXIF data should not separate Basic Info and IPTC Info fields. Please relocate the EXIF to the bottom of the Metadata pane...
7. IPTC Content, IPTC Copyright, IPTC Creator, IPTC Image expand/collapse sections need more automation:
- The Presets fields need Preset lists of entry choices for cities, states, countries, etc.!
- ISO Country Code automatically should be filled in when a country is entered.
- Date created automatically should be filled in from camera EXIF data
- Metadata Presets "Save As" should fill in old name, and allow you to rename it; (When it appears, the new name field should not be empty. This would aid in consistent, alphabetical naming
- Metadata Presets naming should support job names, with actual Presets saved under each job name...
8. IPTC Status EXIF, Contact, etc.
- Caption field MUST display more than one line...(6-8 lines)!
- Caption field MUST support Shift/Return!
- Headline (IPTC Content) should be displayed with (and above) caption. Please present information logically!
- Yellow popups should describe what each field name is for...some are real brain teasers...

Can BPm pick up existing process from ECC without human intervention

Hi
Is there any way BPM can read/pick the existing process from ECC system (may be solution manager workflow) and model the same.
Just trying to make sure from experts that it is not possible before replying client.
Lavanya
Edited by: Lavanya Sambaraju on Nov 19, 2010 8:23 AM

Hi Anil
Yes, we wanted to know if the process/workflow mainateined in ECC or solution manager can be dyna,mically picked up by BPM.
And your solution - "Currently BPM can talk to any other system through web services.If you can expose any functionality as web service in solution manager, you can call that from BPM"
how to implement this from solution manger?
All we know was to expose the BAPI/RFC's functionalities as web services from ECC and consume in BPM tasks or directly call these BApis in to BPM tasks.
Could you please share with us.
Thank you.

Own workflow process step (java) not listed in the generic Process step component

Based on the description Extending Workflow Funtionality I have used this sample to create a bundle with the CRXDE Development Environment. Almost just copying the code from the page (had to make some adjustments to correct program errors in this sample) an then build bundle. According to Note 2 this program should be seen in the list supplied by Process step Component when editing a workflow. But it is not there.
@Component
@Service
public class MyWorkflowProcess implements WorkflowProcess {
    @Property(value = "An example workflow process implementation.")
    static final String DESCRIPTION = Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION;
    @Property(value = "Adobe")
    static final String VENDOR = Constants.SERVICE_VENDOR;
    @Property(value = "My Sample Workflow Process")
    static final String LABEL="process.label";
What do I need to do else?
Thanks,
Ulrich

Ulrich,
CRXDE does not support the Java annotations which are listed in the documentations. When you want to leverage CRXDE (which is for development ... discouraged), you need to migrate to JavaDoc style annotations.
For documentation how you can setup a development workflow based on a Java IDE and maven please see [0].
kind regards,
