Change the Workflow creator ID

Hi All,
All the workflows are initiated with WF-BATCH in one particular client and this ID configured with US time.
But now client want the to use a new ID WF-A-BATCH(which is configured to ASIA time) for particular set of operations only.Since there is a restriction on the RFC definition(one definition per Client).
Is there any way to change the workflow ID after it triggered with WF-BATCH. So that the operations can be done with WF-A-BATCH.
Thanks in advance.
With Regards,
Aditya

Hi Rick,
Currently, we are facing the Date issue in the 2nd leg documents.
Details of the issue:-
***1st leg documents are manually created and 2nd leg documents are automation(workflows) using the 1st leg document.
Issue: - If the user in Asia creates the 1st leg (all the documents are in Asia time) and the workflow is triggered to create the 2nd leg documents. Since the workflow creator is WF-BATCH(US time), all the 2nd leg documents are in US time.
We cant change the WF-BATCH user setting, since it is used across.
Please suggest any solution for the same.
Thank you in advance
Regards,
Aditya

Standard Tool / Program to Change the Workflow Status

Hello,
I would like to know if there is any standard program to Change Status of the Workflow from IN PROCESS to ERROR. I know that there are Standard SAP tools using which we can restart the Workflows that are in ERROR Status. But for changing the Status of the Workflow from IN PROCESS to ERROR, I've not come across any tools / programs. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Venkata Phani Prasad K

sorry correction ..FM SWW_WI_CALLBACK_CHANGE_S can be used to correct the status without any check.
I came across this issue where a dialogue workitem was logically deleted in order to remove it from the user inbox. Later an incident was created that the work-item is still needed to perform the rest of the workflow action. The solution should have been to complete the work-item by executing the terminating event of work-item or complete the work-item manually(SWIA). But instead some one performed logical deletion.
so in order to revive the workflow i needed to change the status form logically deleted to ready status. for this i found this FM which successfully changed the status form logically deleted to ready status. It though lost the agent assignment but i forwarded it manually to respective user.

Changing the workflow polling interval from 5 minutes

Trying to reduce the workflow polling internal from 5 minutes to something shorter. When a Change Request is created, the approval email goes to the manager and they reply with [Approved] or [Rejected] in the email. It sits in the workflow mailbox for
5 minutes before getting processed. I am sure its just editing the Management Pack but I can't figure out when setting to change and what to change it to if we wanted to reduce it to say 1 minute.

I THINK you are referring to the polling interval on the Exchange connector. this controls how often the workflow is executed that reads data from the mailbox. This operations is relatively expensive, so 5 minutes (300 seconds) is the default and recommended
minimum. you can adjust this interval from the configuration UI.
the workflow polling interval is how frequently each workflows is checked to see if they should run, and this is 30 or 60 seconds for most workflows. the polling interval is NOT how frequently the workflow executes, but instead HOW FREQUENTLY IT LOOKS TO
SEE IF IT SHOULD RUN. Take a look at http://blogs.technet.com/b/servicemanager/archive/2013/01/14/troubleshooting-workflow-performance-and-delays.aspx
for more details on what this value means.

Implications of changing the workflow administrator

Hi,
The workflow administrator left my company years ago so all the errored workflows have been going into a 'black hole'.
If I was to change the administrator to myself what consequences will this have other than me receiving the errored emails. Is there anything I need to be aware of or is it a straight switch.
Thanks in advance
Liam

Hi
It is a straight switch. Not to worry. You can further use SWI2_DIAG to find out workitems that are in error this is a very good monitoring tool. <b>Please award points if useful.</b>
Thanks

How to change the workflow agent manually ?

Hi,
We encountered a situation where the workflow was received in error by a person. We are unable to determine the root cause of the problem as it was the first and last time we encountered this situation and we are unable to replicate the same error again.
I want to remove this workflow from that person's inbox manually and assign it to the intended recipient, how do I do this ? Could someone help me out with this situation, thanks.

Yes i agree with rick,
Dont think that WF log can be deactivated also if this is the case then how can you see workitem, may be the case that you dont have auth to view wf log (or if are using latest ECC versions then when u execute transaction SWi1 and open any workitem then type ctrl+p this will lead you to workfow log).
Try using SWI1, as workaroung you can use transaction SWIA to forward workitem to desired agent.

How to change the workflow event

Sir,
I have a workflow against sales order which goes for release as per release strategy . It appears in their SAP inbox until he approves it goes to the second person . Now one sale order has gone to a specific person's inbox . I want to reverse that and to send to other persons SAP inbox because the person is not available . Can we do it . If possible how it can be done .
Thanks in advance .

Hi,
You can have this functionality using substitute in SAP inbox, i.e SBWP. Got to SBWP-> Setting-> Workflow setting and here you can maintain substitute. You can mention dates during which this substitute is to be used. Person who will not be available should maintain this setting in thier SAP inbox.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards

Change PR Approval Workflow Creator to whoever Generate the workflow

We had a situation in our PR approval workflow: When PR creator had resigned, the new approval workflow does not reflect the last

Thank you for your supports.

Hi, You have to change the PR workflow creator ID through the below path,
OLME -> Purchase requistion -> Release procedure -> Procedure with Classification -> Set Up Procedure with Classification -> Then double click on Workflow, do your changes for workflow creator ID over there.

Workflow creator in the container

Hi all ,
We are trigeering a workflow using SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT.To this function module we are passign the SY_UNAME as one of the export parameter.
But since the Logical RFC connection logon user is set as WF-BATCH the workflow creator value (swwwihead - ww_aagent) is stored as WF-BATCH.
To overwrite this only we have passed the SY-UNAME.But still it considers the WF-BATCH.
Can anyone pls tell how to overwrite this WF-BATCH with our user id .
Regards,
Hema.

Hi Jyothi,
In SM59 transaction we have logical connections. It will be maintained by BASIS.
In our case the RFC destination for our client, the logon user is set as WF-BATCH.This user is maintained with the time zone MSTNO.
Any workflow when triggered will go thru this logon user,
The workflow inititaor may be the person who actually triggered it .
But the workflow creator in the container or the w_aagent in the SWWWIHEAD will contain this logon user only.
Now our requirement is to have a different time zone.so we created a new logon user as WF_A_BATCH .
We can only have one RFC destinaion for a client.
So if we cannot change in SM59 transaction bcoz it will affect other workflows,
Hence we are trying to find a way wherein we can overwrite the WF-BATCH with WF-A_BATCH when the workflow is triggered.
Hope this is clear.

Changes in Workflow is not reflecting

Hi,
I have created one workflow definition and activated and tested. After that I have changed the workflow definition and when I tried to test it again it is executing the old definition. I have tried executing the standard transactions SWU_OBUF and PPWFBUF. But it is executing the old definition. There is any transaction to correct this?
Kindly provide me a solution.
Thanks
Sujith

Sujith,
Problem might be becuase you might be trying to test in different client. You need to generate runtime version of the workflow in testing client also. Do the following:
Say your development client is - 100 and testing is on 200
Once your changes are done in 100, login in 200 open the same WF in SWDD and press Ctrl + F3.
It will work like a zoom..

Put a Comment/Reason if the workflow phase is skipped.

Hi Sourcing Experts,
We have a multi level Contract Approval Workflow. It has two approval steps . This is working perfectly fine. Now the business has come up with a requirement saying if we jump any approval step, then we have to put a comment/reason for that. Is there any way to achieve this. Do I have to develop another workflow or it can be handled through the customization.
Thanks ,
Ritik

Hi Devesh,
Thanks a lot Devesh for your reply. The functional team will put the field for comment/note in the Master Agreement.
In our case the user may skip one approval phase, not the approval step.
I checked this place where we can put our PrePhaseChange Script, but I am not sure on this. The concerns are:
1.     How this script will get triggered when I will change the Workflow phase .
2.     How this script is linked to the Master Agreement & Contract that I am using , because no where we are specifying the
        Agreement Name or Contract Document Name while defining this PrePhaseChange Script . I am bit curious about the
        relationship will between these.
Location where I defined the PrePhaseChange Script:
SETUP->[System Setup]->Integration->Script Definition->Document Life Cycle Event->Create->[Target: Pre Phase Change]->In the Script box the scripting logic will go.
Is the above place is the right place to put the Pre Phase Change Script.
Thanks,
Ritik

How to change designer workflow status manually?

Hi All,
I need to change designer workflow status manually. I tried to edit with datasheet view but couldn't. How to do this? thanks in advance!

Hi Sam,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to change the workflow status manully in SharePoint Designer.
There is no out of the box way to accomplish this with SharePoint, and we also can not achieve it with SharePoint Designer.
We can use the Visual Studio to custom the status.
In SharePoint object model the status of the workflow is modeled through the SPWorkflowStatus enumeration. Each status value is an integer that represents its place in a zero-based ordered list.
The status values can be extended through the StatusColumn element in the ExtendedStatusColumnValues section of the Workflow.xml file.

Automator wants me to save the workflow every time I run it.

I have a simple workflow in automator. It finds all files on the desktop with an extension of .jpg and saves them to a folder. Two steps: "Find Finder Items" and "Move finder items". It works just right, but when I quit Automator after running it, it ALWAYS puts up a dialog box saying "Do you want to save the changes you made in the document “Movefile.workflow”? " I have to click on a box every time. What gives? I'm not changing the workflow at all! How do I get rid of this? it's annoying!

If it wants you to save the workflow as an app, try that and see if it works.
Please post back.

How can I change the 'Check-in' trigger for contribution step in Workflow

We have created a Criteria workflow where the workflow is triggered based on a custom field called 'Publish Status'. During check-in, when a content author sets 'Publish Status' = 'Sent to Review', the content is sent to Reviewer's Workflow Assignments. The client however wants to be able do this from the 'Update Metadata screen' i.e., trigger the workflow and send the document to review from the Update Metadata screen and not just check-in screen.
The workflow scenario that client wants is as follows:
- Author checks-in content
- Author previews content using custom Preview widget from Content Info screen. This is custom code written that gives author the ability to preview their content within the context of the portal where UCM content is rendered.
- Author is satisfied with their content.
- Author should just to go 'Update metadata' and set 'Publish Status = Sent to Review' and this should send the content to Reviewers' workflow assignments.
The problem here is that currently the trigger to send content to Reviewer is only SET by the Check-In screen. How do we change this so it can be triggered directly from the 'Update Metadata' screen and does not require 'Check-in'. The client is right here in that if there is already some checked-in content in UCM that they want to send to review now, why should they have to go to 'Check-out' screen to get to 'Check-in' screen to trigger workflow, why can't they avoid all this and just go to Update Metadata.
We thought of using Basic Workflow as well, but that does not solve our problem, since once the content ID is selected in the basic workflow, the contribution step still requires user to Check-out/Check-In content. Can anyone suggest a way to send content for review by using 'Update Metadata' screen.

Hi tanushreem,
Update triggered workflows are not an uncommon requirement. However, they are a small customization. We have standard and supported components that will do this and would be happy to chat with you more about them. Please let me know.
Alternatively, it is a fairly straightforward customization if you wanted to build it yourself.
Warmly,
