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
Pavel

This is what ML3 came up with: 800x600 resolution and workflow (Doc ID 511175.1)
ML3 should be your first port of call.

Cannot Access Custom Workflow Process List (SharePoint 2007)

Does anyone know how to access the "Custom Workflow Process" list when using custom form actions in SharePoint 2007?
There are quite a few items in this list and I need to reduce the list item size.

Cannot see the Workflow process in Application.

Hi ,
We have a strange issue with workflow.
We wanted to customize the INVFLXWF workflow .
We downloaded it from the apps into WorkFlow Builder.Added a process and a function.Saved it back into the database.
Now , when you go into the application --> System Administrator --> Application --> Flexfield --> Accounts --> ctrl F11 -
and you dont se the workflow Generate Cost of Goods Sold Account .
Only if we see it then only we can change the Process Name to the newly created process.
What puzzles us is that the AP Process calls the Generate Cost of Goods Sold Account and generates the COGS account .But we wanted to change it.Without seeign it in the application we cannot change the process.
Can anybody help?

Hi Andrew,
Thanks again a lot for the help. It has really helped. Now I am trying to get a better understanding of how the platform, SCC and the simulator need to be configured.
Let me write down some of my learnings:
If one does not see the workflow then the following points should be checked.
1. Check whether the simulator and the MDS are running properly or not. Like in my case I had installed MDS and 9800 simulator by getting 2 seperate installables. But later I got the BB 6.0 JDE and installed that. Probably this helped me out.
2. If you dont see one of your already developed workflows not in the Simulator then develop a new workflow and try syncing that to the simulator. As you have shown it to Tapan one can get it from http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/8028374d-6490-2e10-5391-b3cb0310ad1d?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true and https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/groups/sup-apps?view=documents
For me I was not able to move my already developed workflow to the simulator. Then I tried to get the EmpDir2_0_ESD1 from the above mentioned link and then this worked. Probably some error in my workflow. So try generating a new workflow and move that to the simulator
3. If MDS does not comeup then it may be because you have installed it in C:Program Files. So better install the BB JDE in some other folder where you have write permission. This information I got from StackFlow.
Hope this may help some novice like me...
Thanks again Andrew...

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

Cannot execute workflow process definition

Hi,
I am new to Siebel. We are researching on Siebel Public Sector Case screens.
I have installed Siebel Client & Tools and defined the Debug configurations in the Tools. When I hit F5 in Tools, the Client loads. However, when I click on the Eligibility button on the Case screen I am rendered the error: *"cannot execute workflow process definition 'PUB Eligibility Determination Workflow'. (SBL-BPR-00158)"*.
Browsing through the Administration - Business Process -> Workflow Monitor, I noticed that none of the Workflows (available in the Tools) are getting displayed. Please let me know if there is any configuration that I might have missed out.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In case this is a new installation of Siebel, by default Workflow processes are not activated on the Server. As a result you will face the mentioned error.
In this case just go to the Administration - Business Process -> Workflow Deployment -> Repository Workflow Processes and in the top applet query for the Workflow causing the error. Also query for the same in the lower applet as well. If there is no record in the lower applet or if the Repository Version in the lower applet is not matching to that on the upper applet, you need to click on the Activate button on the Top applet to enable the latest version on the server.
By Check In process it means that you check-out i.e. lock a particular object for exclusive modification and then checking it in i.e. publishing the changes onto the server for all the other developers.

Cannot edit any roles in CUP5.2 due to "Enter a valid Role Name" error

We are running CUP 5.2.
I am having a problem with our Roles after they were uploaded into CUP; I cannot make any changes to the Role Details because CUP returns an error stating that our Role Names are invalid.
First I uploaded the roles (I continued to receive errors when trying to use the template, so I did them by uploading with the "Selected Roles" option).
Once they were uploaded, from the menu, I select: Roles --> Search Role and then I choose a role from the resulting list. When the next screen appears (the "Role Details" screen), I added all of the respective details (Business Process, Sub-Process, Detailed Description, Role Approver, Functional Area, etc.). When I pressed the SAVE button, I received the following error:
Please correct the following errors:
Please enter a valid "Role Name". Only Alpha-numeric, Space or Underscore characters are allowed
So I realize what the problem is - the "Role Name" field is automatically populated with our security role name as it exists in our SAP system ... and because our security roles all begin with Z:, it does not follow the CUP naming convention.
I'd like to just update the "Role Name" field but when you are in the "Role Details" screen, the "Role Name" field cannot be edited.
I saw the "Export" button and used that, in an attempt to edit the file to replace each occurence of Z: with Z_, and then upload it again.
So I updated the file accordingly, and then did an upload, selecting the "Overwrite Existing Roles" box.
It returned a successful message:
Import Status: 133 successfully imported out of 133 records found
Yet, when I go back to the list of roles, the roles still exist as Z: instead of Z_ so I still cannot edit any of the roles to add the required details ... has anyone had a similar issue and know how to work around this?
Thanks!

Hello Alpesh,
Thank you for replying!
I had already tried to export the roles and replaced the Z: with Z_ before creating this message, but the upload attempts failed due to the explanation above. But this time, I followed your (good) advice to delete the original Z: roles first, before uploading the corrected file.
Sadly, even after I deleted the original Z: roles prior to uploading the corrected file, I am still having no luck ... when I uploaded the file, again it (falsely) reports that the import was successful:
Import Status: 133 successfully imported out of 133 records found
After seeing that message, I quickly checked the roles, and none of the roles had uploaded. So now I have ZERO roles.
Any further ideas? I am thinking it may be something very small that is being overlooked ... perhaps certain buttons must be selected/not selected on the import screen? Or could it be an issue with the file itself?
When I do the import, I only select the button for "From File ..." and retrieve the file from my desktop via the Browse button. I do not select any other button, nor do I make a selection from the System or Role Source boxes. I have just selected that one button only ... I've tried it with and without checking the "Overwrite Existing Roles" box, but neither one works.
The part that bugs me the most is that I receive what I perceive to be an inaccurate/bogus "successful" status each time I attempt the upload of the file. At least if I had an error message, I might have something to work with to troubleshoot this.

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.

Karri

I downloaded a document and now it is secured and I cannot edit it

Every new adobe document that I download is secured I don't understand why?

Still not much info to go on but if I had to guess, it sounds like you may be using Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) or some other pdf generating software to create the pdf and then trying to edit it using Adobe Acrobat Reader which basically cannot edit files.
To be sure we would need more info...
How exactly are you creating these files (describe your process)?
What do you mean by it doesn't allow you to make changes? What kind of changes are you trying to make? What happens when you try and make them?
What version of Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader do you have?
When you open the pdf, what software is being used to open it?

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...

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].

Error has occurred in workflow processing

Hi All,
The email notification sent back to employees to notify them that the timecard was submitted successfully is erroring. I looked in the workflow administrator resp and noticed the employee notifications were failing.
Please see the below error:

Hi,
You can reset the template in the frontend System Administrator -> OAM -> Workflow -> View Details -> Edit.
OR
You can override the template as i mentioned in the prevoius post by including a attribute in the respective message(Refer Workflow Developer's guide for more details).

Using in the workflow process the element of Scenario dimension which conta

Good day All
In the Scenario dimension has been created element which include as children the some store elements of the Scenario dimension (Plan, Fact ...).
This element has been assigned as scenario element for Planning Unit Hierarchy.
When we start the workflow process the children of its elements (Plan, Fact ...) still available for edit on work form for all users.
Question. Work form contains several elements of Scenario. As in the workflow process close all of these elements, creating only one Planning Unit Hierarchy and run the process only once (in fact, one Scenario).
thanks

The total video bit rate is determined by audio & video. Depending on what rate your video file was encoded at will determine how much room is left for audio. PCM(aiff/wav) audio requires a bigger piece of the pie. Video bit rate too high means your overall(video+audio) rate is going above 9Mbps which the format won't allow. The only way to use aiff would be to lower your video file's data rate. The length of your program is also a factor in all of this.
I had some problems in the past with using aiff instead ac3. Although there shouldn't be any issue I experienced playback issues on some players that couldn't be explained but were cleared up by ac3. I have been using the same specs as Dave's suggestion for almost nine years and have not had any issues with mix, quality, or levels.

Using in workflow process the element of Account dimension with subordinate

Good day All
In the dimension Account has been created element, which contains several shared elements. This element has been added as a Parent member when creating a Planning Unit Hierarchy. When we run the workflow process the child shared elements still open for editing for all users.
May be we can’t using shared members in this case?
Thanks

Are you the one who commented out the code you're looking for ?//String desc = StringFactory.getString(attributes.getValue("desc"));You just have to modify you AttributeObject class to hold a new field : String description. And then, it's up to you to create a new constructor or a new setter method.
Btw, this is not a Swing related question.
