Can the workflow engine of APEX be opened to commom users?

I guess the APEX must have it's own workflow engine to make APEX working correctly. Can the team consider to make it open? In some applications we need to use workflow(not very complicated), so a simple set of workflow API should be very helpful. The Oracle databaseworkflow need licenses fees and is too huge for simple applications.

Not sure what you mean. AFAIK Apex doesn't have any "workflow engine" hidden somewhere.

I am trying to create workflow and wants to integrate it with my custom jsp but i am facing problem in integrating my custom jsp with the workflow engine.Can you please answer the following questions:
1)how to link BPM human task with my custom jsp (Requester jsp).
2)how my custom jsp data(Requester data) will be stored in workflow engine and how the same data will be visible to the next custom jsp(Reviewer jsp).
This is urgent .Any early reply will be great help.
Thanks in advance.

you forgot to add the usage dependency in the DC metadata section in your DC, you have to add the XSS~utils and fpm as a used DC's as part of your DC, try to add those, if you already done that, so check where missed the adding of used webdynpro components in any of the VAC's or FC's,

Can the runtine engine and an application be run directly from a CD?

Can an application be run directly from a CD without installing the runtime engine and application onto the computer?

It depends on what library functions the application is using and what version of LabVIEW it was built in. In LV 7 and earlier you could just put the run-time files (the ones in Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time...(lvrt.dll is the most crucial of the files, a full list can be found here on the developer zone)) in the same folder as the application and it would run without any problems in most cases.
In 7.1/7.1.1 math functions had to be installed as well if you had used any of those and could be a problem, otherwise it still worked (we do this still with apps that use serpdrv instead of VISA).
With LV8 it is still possible, but the chance of the application depending on some function that you do not get included this way is much higher, I would just test it and see how it goes.

How can the servlet engine create objects of interfaces?help

hello,
I have this basic fundamental query...when using servlets i noticed that so many methods in the HttpServlet class take as arguments objects of the type "Interface"..where as basic principle in java is u cant instantiate interfaces...interfaces r mere templates which u implement by ur own custom classes.
For example the doGet method recieves from the servlet engine(servlet container) two arguments which r HttpServletResponse object and HttpServletRequest object..and u use these further to make use of the methods of the inmterfaces..which again is a mystery to me...why?
here is why:-
since HttpServletResponse and HttpServletRequest r interfaces..they cant be instantiated...and now that the sevlet engine provides objects of these interfaces...how come u r able to to use the methods of these interfaces...for r they not empty methods?..
example how r u able to make the sendRedirect() method of HttpServletResponse interface work...is this method not an empty method?
there r several interfaces...whose objects r being used and passed in this similar fashion....(for example there r many methods that return an enumeration...which is used as if it were an ordinary class that can be instantiated..and whose methods r non empty emthods)
please help me resolve this mystery
sheeba

Don't call me "u". The word is "you". Likewise "are" and not "r".
The servlet engine creates objects of concrete classes that implement those interfaces. If you want to find the names of those classes in your particular server, you could use for examplereq.getClass().getName()

Can the Workflow Model Options in the sidekick be site specific

Hi,
Do anyone know if the workflow options in the sidekick can be site specific or not? potentially using tag in the model?
Thanks.
Johnny

Out of the box not possible & you need to custamize. Currently only those workflows appear in the workflow drop-down in the sidekick that have the "tags" property (inside model/metaData) value to either blank(no value) or "wcm". You need to custamize to have logic for template/site specific.

Excel 2010 - Can't Save File Becasue It's Opened By Another User

Hi All,
I'm using excel 2010, I can create an excel doc, update it, save it on the network, then close it. Then go out of the folder its saved in, go back in and open the file but it flags up as read only as its 'opened by another user'.
I can confirm 100% that no one else has this file open.
This affects multiple users, I have a feeling this may be caused by an update but don't have anything solid to back that theory up.
All users who have this problem are running windows 7 Pro machines, all domain joined.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Hi,
Please try the following methods:
Methods1:
Turn off the Details Pane shown at the bottom of Windows Explorer. Go to Organize -> Layout -> Details Pane. That fixes the first problem.
Turn off “Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items” Click on Tools -> Folder Options. In the box that opens up, click on the View tab. Scroll down the list to “Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items” and clear
the checkbox and then click OK. This fixes the second problem.
Turn off Preview Pane. Go to Organize -> Layout -> Preview Pane. This fixes number 3.
Methods2:
Add the following registry keys:
Key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{993BE281-6695-4BA5-8A2A-7AACBFAAB69E}
Name: EnableShareDenyNone
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{993BE281-6695-4BA5-8A2A-7AACBFAAB69E}
Name: EnableShareDenyNone
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

No. All you'll know is that it's open.

Can the Intellipoint mouse center scroll button open a new tab?

I have a Microsoft Wheel Mouse optical USB mouse with a scroll wheel which can be modified from within the System Preferences settings. The Wheel Button however has a limited number of options. Different from Windows, this mouse, in the Mac, does not have the option to set the wheel button to open a new tab. Perhaps I can't figure it out from the options available, but is there a way to force it to open a new tab, like in Windows?
Thank you.
Roxy

My apologies for my late reply to your very helpful response.
However, my question probably was not well made. What I meant was to click on a link with the wheel button and open the link in a new tab.
What assigning command-t does is open a new tab. Not what I meant.
Sorry about the confusion and I hope you do have a suggestion.
Thank you very much.
Roxy

How do I change the search engine that displays when opening a new tab-Bing comes up and I want Google.

I'm using Firefox 15 on a Mac and there don't seem to be any extensions affecting this. Thanks!

Is that about searching via the build-in the about:home page?
Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
#Open the about:config page via the location bar
#Type in the Filter bar: mstone
#Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
#Close and restart Firefox
If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.

Does the Workflow engine use EXISTENCECHECK methods directly?

Hi all,
I'm curious about the use of existencecheck. It's a method in all Business Objects, which I have no problem with and fully understand.
What made me curious is that OO Classes used in WF still include an EXISTENCECHECK method. Theoretically it's not necessary, because the constructor does pretty much the same thing.
Workflows work fine if I make them private, which makes me wonder if it's a case of "because we've always done it that way".
So, is this still around because some obscure internal routines call it occasionally? Obviously I cannot conclusively test this, and on the other hand if it is used then shouldn't it be part of IF_WORKFLOW?
Any input appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike

Can the webmaster fix mozilla's web site so that users don't end up with non working 32bit version of firefox on their 64 bit Linux (see bug #723487)?

I've been subsribed to bug #723487 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723487) for a year and a half, and I identified a problem in the way mozilla's site delivers the linux version of firefox almost a year and a half ago, but for reasons unknown to me, no one bothered to address this problem.
Other, properly built web sites that deliver binary software packages for linux, can successfully recognise if the user downloading firefox is using a 32bit or 64bit Linux distribution, and offer the appropriate version. Try www.libreoffice.org if you think that my claims are false.
But this somehow doesn't work with mozillas website, the website recognizes that the user's operating system is Linux, but doesn't try to figure out if it's a 32bit or 64bit linux, so the users end up with 32bit builds of firefox by default, which then don't work on their 64bit sytems.
The problem is even more intensified due to the rather stupid naming convention used by mozilla - both the 32 and the 64 bit versions are simply named identicaly - for instance firefox-29.0b6.tar.bz2 for the 29 beta 6 version. Other sane software producers (libreoffice, nvidia, qt-project) names their binary packages with different names (eg. the "x86" string is used for the 32bit version, "x64" for the 64bit version) so that the users don't end up trying to use (unsucsesfully; getting a cryptic error message) the wrong version. But in mozilla's case we end up with a lot of confused users filing bug reports, like the bug I mentioned above.
So to rephrase my question - is someone willing to do something about this (the QA Mentor who commented in bug #723487 has so far proven to be completely useless)?

The 64-bit Linux builds have been listed on the http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ page since Firefox 27.0 or 26.0 I believe.
This link is listed under the green download button with the words of [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ Systems & Languages]

Can the october 2012 27" iMac internal hard drive be user upgraded?

I'm looking at buying either a Apple factory refurbrished 2012 27" imac or perhaps a used machine and would like to install a new 1Tb SSD from Crucial. I'm not willing to pay Apple for their OEM SSDs. But I've heard that there may be issues with replacing non-oem hard drives. One concern was over heating issues. OWC recommended that I have a Apple store tech install the hard drive. But I doubt Apple will install a non-apple SSD. What are the facts here?
Thanks, Dennis
NEVER MIND. I found answers to this question elsewhere. The answer is NO - ****.

Yes, it can be upgraded, but it is not a user-replaceable part nor is adding an SSD. You will need to have this all done at an authorized Apple shop as an authorized repair. If you attempt to do the work on your own or have it done by a non-authorized technician, then your computer will be void of any further Apple service regardless of any warranty you may have.

Is the XI Business Process Engine similar to R/3 Workflow Engine ?

Is the XI Business Process Engine related to the SAP R/3 workflow engine ? I can see similar terminology like Container operation between the two workflow depictions.
-Manish

Hi Manish,
the BPM engine is exactly the Workflow engine included in the WAS installation of XI.
You can see that a BPM saved and activated generate a workflow template (don't touch it!).
You'll discover that the monitors of BPM are the tipical transaction of SAP workflow.

Can a workflow steps and users for the steps be controlled by contributors?

Is it possible to have a workflow that allows contributors to select list of steps and users in the steps? The universal set of steps and users for steps can be defined in the designer mode. But the contributors can decide for a particular content item what steps need to be skipped and the users for the step. But atleast one approver step is mandatory. This is some strange requirement that our client is expecting. Is this possible?
Regards,
Pratap

Hi Pratap,
Short answer: Yes. This has been possible since the Stellent 5.x days (and possibly earlier). We can help you with this if you need services - see our Workflow offerings here: http://bit.ly/b2Ydv6
Or you can do it yourself. For the details you should see "Setting Up Ad Hoc Step Users" in the workflow admin guide (pp 147, section 9-13) http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10316_01/cs/cs_doc_10/documentation/admin/workflow_guide_10gr3en.pdf
Remember that a "step" is just a container for a certain group of users to take action on certain kinds of content. So you can have one step but if you loop over it 3 times with a different set of users each time you have a defacto 3 step workflow.
You need 2 things:
1) the workflow plumbing for the selection of the next "step" (and/or group of users) in the workflow (tokens and subworkflows typically)
2) a UI for the end users / contributors to actually make the selections.
For 1) you use tokens that will ultimately resolve to a list of user names who should take action. You might use names (e.g. bcripe) or aliases (e.g. The Legal Team) or other concepts that make sense to the end users who will be participating (e.g. capital expenditure review). Whatever you do the tokens will ultimately yield one or more user ids which become the step users.
For 2) you can use anything that will make those plumbing values available to the UCM workflow engine. Most common is using metadata fields. They're easy, can be displayed only during workflows (using rules and profiles), and fairly intuitive for most UCM users (if there are not too many!!!). However, you can just as easily write web services, BPEL tasks, or CIS integrations that take form or other triggered input from the user and pass those parameters back to the workflow engine. For more complex workflows this is often a good idea especially if you are dealing with people who are only casual users of UCM or who are interacting with content through another primary UI.
Either way, let us know what we can do to help. Workflows are a special passion to us here at Fishbowl and we've got supported software to prove it. http://bit.ly/95Rocu

Transport workflow engine

Hello SAP Gurus,
We are new to this transport workflow automation process. We are currently testing this in sandbox (S00).
S00 has multiple clients. Each client represents one country (example - client 200 represents Belgium,
201 represents France, 202 represents Mexico, 250 represents USA etc).
Each client have different Developers/functionals/infosecs/users.
As only one Workflow engine can be defined per instance(S00)/client (250) under STMS --> systems overview -->transport domain --> workflow engine tab we have below issues.
Users from other countries cannot able to approve/reject/import their transport proposals - reason being
their user id is not created in 250.
Is there any options to create seperate workflow engine per client? or how can we do this for other countries without enabling CUA or maintaining all users at one client(workflow engine client).
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated,
thanks & best regards,
Kannappan.S

Hi Kannappan
You need to this way. Even i follow the same way. Here 200 and 400 clients are customizing clients. I will develope workflows in 300 client after developing i will transport the workflow from 300 to 400 then from 400 only i can transport to quality and to production.
You can also do the same way. From differents clients move to 250 from 250 you can transport to quality and to production. No need to move any users.
To move the transport request from different client to 250 do this way. go to 250 client and opent the transport fron SE01 and double click on the partent request id and do a small change in the description and save it. This will do the transport from different client to 250.
