Can workflow instances be cleared automatically ?

Hi..
I am running a regression test on a WLI 7.0 sp2 environment using BPM
workflows. I need to run a test of around 1000 iterations min. but at around
500+ iterations, the WLI Instance table is full giving the error of 'Max
extents reached'
At this point, my testing needs to be stopped to remove the completed
workflow instances manually using BPM studio. Is there any way using which I
can remove the completed instances automatically from the WLI workflow
instance table ?
Thanks in advance

Any restrictions on # of Workflow / Instances that ALBPM can handle?

Is there any restrictions on No of workflow/ instances that ALBPM 5.7 can handle in production. I'm not worrying about handling number of simultaneous request but actual number of workflow / instances it can handle in due course.
Thanks,

How to search the data of a WLI Workflow Instance

Is there a way to do any of the following in WLI 70?
a) access the data stored in a workflow instance as filesystem files so awk can be run against them to find specific occurrences of xml data elements?
b) perform a search upon the data stored in a workflow instance to find specific occurrences of xml data elements?

Hi Olivier,
Thanks for the reply.
I think using the File Control could work like you said if we could change the JPD, I also think some public API (perhaps an observer of some type) would work as you suggested.
However, this is one of our older prod apps (thankfully nearing retirement) and we really don't like to make changes unless we really really need to (few support resources are available, especially testers).
Also, and sorry if my initial post wasn't very clear about this, we want to search the past history of workflow instance data, not the new incoming data.
Any other ideas?

Open Item not getting Cleared automatically

Dear Sir,
For a GL "Cenvat Clearing" , we have ticked the option "open Item Management" in FS00 .
Our business scenario is as below :
After MIGO , we do excise posting using J1IEX and here in the posted Fi document the GL "Cenvat Clearing" gets Credited . Subsequently during the MIRO this GL i.e "Cenvat Claering" gets Debited .
My problem is that when I see in FBL3n for this GL the relevant transaction still appear under the open Items . Pl guide me , as what is the reason for this entry not getting cleared automatically .
Regards

PO number cannot be taken as sort feild hence the value is in blank always.
You need to identify some value for this feild and as a process you need to tell your users to incorporate the same at the time of doing MIRO.
Or other wise you can take out the assignment of sort key to this GL account, and as a process you can instruct your user to use reference feild and input a value. If you fell that this is a tedious process,
the Identify another feild that is common for both debit and credit line items and try to post with a common valuie using, one ABAP program which will update this feild. Mind that this feild need to be in the OB74.

Hi Ajaz,
Error description is not detailed enough to provide the solution. You need to post the error message what you got in the server log files. This should contain specific details about the issue.
Not sure but issue may be related to JVM settings. if it is so, server log file will provide the error description.

Custom Workflow generates a thousand of Workflow Instances and EREs

Hi everyone,
I developed a Custom Workflow that complete user attributes information when a user select a value from a drop down list. I tested this workflow with a Request MPR with an Action Type "Create" and the workflow Works perfectly. But now, I
have to use this workflow in an Action Type "Modify" , when I changed it, the workflow Works fine but generates a thousand of Workflow Instances and in consequence a thousand of EREs.
Can you help me please?
Thanks in advance,

Make sure that the change invoked by your workflow is not used as button to run another workflow - described scenario looks like you have created a loop.

Error while creating concurrent workflow instances with dynamic participant

Hi All,
I have a workflow which has 3 interactive activites. The second interactive activity has requires approval of atleast 3 users to proceed. The participants are also not known in advance and are created dynamically by creating the directory session. The workflow is instantiated using an external trigger. The approval for interactive activities is also provided by an external trigger (API call).
Now, there is a scenario where i have 1000 requests coming in to ALBPM and workflow instance should be created for each of them. But only one instance is created and for the rest i get the following exception. This also happens with just 2 requests. I also tried calling the API in a synchronized way but didnt help.
Is anybody aware why is this error encountered anf how it can be resolved?

Hi Dan,
Thanks for replying and giving attention. I have the following scenario :-
1. I am getting a list of identifiers(some number) from a third party application along with the users/participants who are liable to approve the workflow instance.
2. I create a workflow instance using this identifier through PAPI using process service session and also create the user/participant through PAPI by using the following code. Please note that i dont create participant in ALBPM instead i do it programatically in java using the PAPI :-
DirectorySession directorysession = null;
if (userVO != null && userVO.getUserId() != null && !userVO.getUserId().trim().equals(""))
+{+
+     directorysession = this.createFDISession();+
+     List<RoleAssignment> roleAssignmentList = new ArrayList<RoleAssignment>();+
+     try {+
DirOrganizationalRole[] dirOrganizationalRoleArray = DirOrganizationalRole.fetchAll(directorysession);
for(int i=0; dirOrganizationalRoleArray!=null && i<dirOrganizationalRoleArray.length; i+) {+
+DirOrganizationalRole role = dirOrganizationalRoleArray;+
+}+
int permissions = -1;
permissions
+= 0 |+
DirHumanParticipant.getPermissionValue("X") |
DirHumanParticipant.getPermissionValue("R") |
DirHumanParticipant.getPermissionValue("S") |
DirHumanParticipant.getPermissionValue("A") |
DirHumanParticipant.getPermissionValue("D") |
DirHumanParticipant.getPermissionValue("E") |
+0;+
+String[] whichRoles = new String[]{+
+"Approver",+
+"Requestor",+
+};+
+DirHumanParticipant.RoleAssignment[] roleAssignments = new DirHumanParticipant.RoleAssignment[whichRoles.length];+
for(int i=0; i<whichRoles.length; i+) {+
+roleAssignments[i] = new DirHumanParticipant.RoleAssignment(whichRoles[i], permissions, DirOrganizationalRole.fetch(directorysession, whichRoles[i]).getIn());+
+}+
+     String organizationUnit = configuration.getProperty("ORGANIZATION_UNIT");//fuegoFileProperties.getProperty(BVIDConstants.FUEGO_CONNECTIVITY_KEY_ORGANIZATION_UNIT);+
+     String newUserPwd = configuration.getProperty("FUEGO_FDI_NEW_USER_PASSWORD");//fuegoFileProperties.getProperty(BVIDConstants.FUEGO_CONNECTIVITY_KEY_FDI_PWD);+
+     DirOrganizationalUnit orgUnit = DirOrganizationalUnit.fetch(directorysession,organizationUnit);+
+     DirHumanParticipant user = DirHumanParticipant.create(directorysession, userVO.getUserId(), userVO.getFirstName(), userVO.getLastName(),+
+                              userVO.getFirstName(), userVO.getEmail(), userVO.getPhone(), "",+
+                              newUserPwd, orgUnit,roleAssignments, true);+
+     user.update();+
+     }+
+     finally+
+     {+
+               log.info("diconnecting the directory session created for creating participant");+
+               directorysession.disconnect();+
+     }+
+}+
3. The workflow instance then waits at interactive activity to get the next trigger with the same identifier to move the workflow ahead.
4. Now the case is that i can get 1000 such identifiers at a time in a file which i ll read for which i need to create 1000 workflow instances parallely. During this process i get the following exception : -
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot set the directory Connector Service while connector service is started

No Workflow Instance

Hi,
We are using a batch program to trigger workflows for appraisal. Initially we tried for 3 users and the workflows were triggered properly. Then we ran the program for chunks of 50 users and when I checked the Event Trace, it says "Receiver started correctly", but the RFC status says "User is locked. Please notify the person responsib". I cannot see any workflow instance for these users in SWI1. Now even when I run the workflow trigger program for one user the status says "User is locked. Please notify the person responsib". I checked the logged on user and it is not locked. What could be the error? Pls help

Hi,
the workflow background user is configured here as SSOPER SAP. This user is locked. Please correct this via transaction SU01.
The configuration of the user and logical destination can also be maintained with transaction SWU3.

Workflow instances problem

My problem is that in workflow i am sending workitem for manager approval.If manager rejects the workitem it goes to employee back for correction and resubmission.But what is happening once workitem is send to employee for correction the current workflow instance is completed and when user changes the report and resubmits it a new workflow instance will be created.This all increases load on the working system.
Can we keep the same workflow instance working till report is rejected or accepeted and then only workflow instance is completed.

I think you can make use of Function module
SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECT
in a virtual attribute that will check whether any existing wflow is already triggered for it. If yes set the Flag(Virtual attribute) value as X. Make use of this attribute in th Start ciondition of the wflow in SWB_COND Tcode.
Now in your workflow the approval step should be inside a loop that loops until the request is approved. Inside the loop the approval step should be in fork with 2 parallel branch and 1 necessary. In 1 branch put approval step and in other branch put the Wait for event step.
Thanks

[q] change workflow instance id

hI All,
How can I change a WLI2.0 workflow ID after the workflow has started ?
The workflow is initialized via the WLI2.0 queue with an XML. I then call a
business operation
that give me the value that I need to put in the workflow ID. How do I do
that ?
Thanxs,
Ronen Yaari

I have the same question, and I would like to be able to get to
the actual "label" as opposed to setting up a new process
variable. It is not accessible in the dialog box.
Thanks

If it's the latter, you should simply be able to specify a workflow variable

Parallel workflow instances

Hi Experts,
Need help for the scenario on which i am working..
SAP System: ECC 5.0
Scenario:
1) Material master workflow is triggered through a customized event and we are passing material number
and Sales Org as the object key for Business Object.
3) Based on the Sales Org, plants will determined using a background task.
2) After this we have to send tasks(for creating a view) to the agent, for a plant and material combination
and these tasks should be in parallel. number of plants can be more than 100.
3) Once all these parallel tasks is completed then workflow should continue .
4) other workflow task based on material and sales org combination...
For sending parallel task for a material and plant combinations (Point 3), i can trigger a seperate workflow.
so there will be n instance of this new workflow based on material and plant combination.
But my concern is How workflow will know that all the workflow instances of new workflow is completed
for the material for which main workflow is triggered.
Please suggest.
Please let me know if there is a some other way for sending parallel task from the workflow..
Thanks,
V

I will create a new step and pass the remaining plants using the same Table-Driven Dynamic Parallel Processing .
Again i have a issue, there will be multiple parallel task created but how i will know which particular task is related to which plant.
I want to pass the plant name in the Task description, how i can do that...
I will a create a new thread for this issue.

Can I get Airport to automatically connect to a stronger Access Point

Hello,
I am running Leopard 10.5.3 and have 2 access points (not apple) on the one network. One AP is at the opposite end of my house to the other.
When I make it to the opposite end of the connected AP, I get only 1 bar and it usually drops. Can I set airport to automatically connect to the strongest AP automatically even if it isn't out of signal?
I hope this makes sense?

I have to Wireless access points on the 1 network yes.
I have one of the AP's set up as a preferred network.
However once I am far away from it, I only get 1 bar of strength and then the connection becomes inconsistent (will go to no signal and then back to 1 etc.) At this point when it is doing this no signal to 1 I want airport to change to the AP. Is this possible?
I hope that is clearer.

Setting workflow instance comments

I'm trying to work out how to set a workflow instance's comment value. There's
a getComment function in com.bea.wlpi.common.InstanceInfo that I'd like to use,
but I can't find anything in the documentation that suggests how to set this value
when you instantiate a workflow.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Setting Workflow status did not work in imported workflow from SharePoint Designer to Visual Studio.
I try to reproduce the issue and the result is the same as yours.
After I import the workflow, choose the .xoml file, the view is as below:
To troubleshooting the issue, I add a new item to the project and select “Sequential Workflow” in the template.
After I click the Tool, I find that there don’t have the “SetCustomWorkflowStatus1” activity.
To set the status of the state, we need to use the “Set State” Activity in the “SharePoint Workflow” toolbar.
That is the reason why the “SetCustomWorkflowStatus1” activity does no work.
More information:
Apply Custom Values to Visual Studio Workflow Statuses
