Change workflow administrator

Hello ,
Is there any way to change the wrokflow administrator . The scenario is a user (who is the administrator for many workflows, ALE config post processing permitted agent etc )is going to be replaced by a new user .  All the places where this user was configured has to be now replaced by the new user . Is there any easy way to do this . Or is there any easy way to find out where all the old user has been configured as reciever/administrator . Please show some light .
Many thanks,
JR.

the workflow system is administrated on different levels - at least when it comes to do workflows on IDOCs - and that's almost the only aspect i know of - so you would have to change the whole setup - use tx.
SWDC_RUNTIME to change the workflow administrator for worflows in general - a hint here: it pays a lot in the long run if you are not putting a single user-ID here, but tie it to HR-ORG: set up a position and attach a whole bunch of users to it, so you can distribute the workflows to more people and additionally you would never have to touch the admin-settings again ... the admin in this transaction would then be of type 'S' and the number of the organizational level. use tx. PPOME to set this up.
tx. OYEA to set up an IDOC-Adminstrator on the top-level (there are several levels where you can set them also ... on level of the partners, for example -> check tx. WE20 for this. here goes the same as for the above mentionen customizing: use HR-ORG to define a position ... see above.
both: IDOC-admins and workflow-admins are client-dependent, so you will have to repeat that action in every client in your system you want to use.

  • 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

  • Workflow Administrator issue

    Hi,
    ebs 11.5.8
    We successfully cloned from prod to dev. DEV been up for ~1 month.
    We now have an issue with the Workflow.
    I log in as sysadmin -> system administrator responsibility then workflow -> Global Preferences
    In the html page that opens it says "Only the Workflow Administrators can edit Default settings."
    I tried with Workflow Administrator -> Global Preferences but same results.
    I check for profile (System Administrator -> Profile -> System : %workflow%) but found nothing that would indicate who is the admin of the workflow.
    I think this is due to autoconfig, setting the default value for the workflow administrator.
    How can I find who is the owner and change it?
    Thank you~

  • WorkFlow Administrator access

    Hi
    I have a HR Leave approval workflow which has a background task that attempts to make a change to the absences infotype within the leave requestor's personnel record.
    If the personnel record is locked at the point of attempting the update it fails and sends the work item to an administrator (not Workflow admin) to carry out the update manually.
    Unforutnately the adminstrator's access is restricted and is subsequently unable to update the work item so the work item ends up in error in the administrators's inbox.
    What is the best practice for this scenario, should the work item be sent to the Workflow administrator (assigned in trans SWDC)? Will this get round the access issue or will the Workflow administrator have same access problems when trying to manually deal with the work item?
    Regards

  • How can I change Workflow page layout

    Hi,
    I have developed a Workflow for Business trips in company where I'm working. Workflow works fine, but I'm not happy with page layout of my workflow...it's too ordinary and too gray:(
    How can I change Workflow page layout?!?
    I would like to make templates for header, footer, right menu...to put company logo...
    Is there any tutorial or documentation which explain it through example...
    Thanks a lot

    Hi,
    For standalone workflow, you need to look at the WFA_HTML package to change the code. I'm not sure that this is supported though.
    You can change the logo by putting your new logo file in the path specified for images in the Apache configuration file for workflow. I believe that the file is called something like WFLOGO.gif but I'm not sure off the top of my head. If you replace it with your file, it should appear once you bounce Apache.
    To be honest, you'd be better off writing your own screen for submission (either in Forms, JSP or mod PL/SQL), and use the standard screens for administration purposes. That would give you full flexibility over the design of the submission of a process, no support issues, plus users would have their own URL and administrators a completely separate one, to ensure that it is immediately clear which environment they are working in.

  • Changing Workflow Admin Server

    Hello,
    I have two UCCX servers at seperate locations and need to setup wrap up data on each. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to either add a location or change the server I am connected to on the Cisco Desktop Workflow Administrator.
    Anyone have any idea how?
    UCCX 8.5
    Thanks

    The registry defines this. If I was on UCCE CAD I would either change the LDAP in the registry, or run PostInstall.exe from the Desktop\bin to change it. Then restart Desktop Admin. You can flip between them in this way. I assume CAD on UCCX is the same.

  • How to change the administrator name

    I have tried to change the administrator name on a Macbook pro that I recently sold. I used the following:

  • How to change your Administration Server password when you're locked out

    How to change your Administration Server password when you're locked out
    The Netscape server products are all managed by a single administration
    server, which gives you a web forms-based interface you can use to
    configure them, start/stop them, check their logs, and so forth.
    <P>
    There are three levels of protection that keep the general public from
    being able to get into your administration server and mess up the
    configuration of any Netscape servers you have installed:
    <P>
    <OL>
    <LI> <B>Obscurity:</B> Your administration server can run on any port you'd
    like (usually something between 81 and 30,000), so if an attacker
    doesn't know what port to find your admin server on, he can't get
    into it.<P>
    <LI> <B>Host restrictions:</B> You can tell your admin server to only allow
    connections from specific hosts, and to reject all other hosts.
    <P>
    <LI> <B>Password protection:</B> Even if a user connects to your admin server
    from a valid host, he won't be allowed to get into even the first
    page unless he presents a valid username and password.
    </OL>
    <P>
    If you, the legitimate administrator of your web server, are unable to
    access the administration server (if you forgot your password or the
    admin port number or if you accidentally locked your own site out),
    then here is how to get past each of these levels of protection:
    <P>
    <OL>
    <LI> If you don't remember what port your administration server is
    running on, just look in your "ns-admin.conf" file, which is in
    the "admserv" directory under your Netscape server directory.
    (For 1.x web servers on Windows NT, run "regedt32" and go to the
    "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netscape\Administration" section).
    You will see a "Port" entry there that specifies what port your
    admin server is on. You can change this value if you want your
    admin server to run on a different port, but make sure you restart
    the admin server after you change the value.
    <P>
    <LI> If your admin server is complaining "Unauthorized host" when you
    try to connect to it, then you can open it up to all sites by
    going into the "ns-admin.conf" file or the "Administration"
    section of your NT registry, as described above, and deleting the
    lines for "Hosts" and "Addresses" (either one of those might not
    be present) then restarting your admin server (on Unix run
    "stop-admin" then "start-admin"; on NT go into the Services
    control panel and stop/start the "Netscape Administration" or
    "Netscape Admin Server" service). You will then be able to get
    back into the admin server, where you can then try new settings
    for your host and address restrictions if you wish.
    <P>
    <LI> If you have forgotten the password to your admin server and now
    you can't log into your admin pages, all is not lost! Go into
    your "ns-home" directory, and into the "admserv" directory under
    that. You should find an "admpw" text file containing a simgle
    line of text, something like this:
    admin:lnOVeixulqkmU
    The first part of that line is the name of your admin account
    (usually just "admin"), and the second part is your admin
    password, encrypted. Edit this file to remove the encrypted
    password so that your file looks like this:
    admin:
    Then shut down your admin server, bring it back up again, and log
    into your admin server but don't give any password. It should let
    you in, at which point you can then go to the appropriate
    configuration page to set a new admin password, and then you're
    back in business.
    </OL><P>
    Note that because it is so easy to change the admin password this
    way, it's good to periodically make certain that your admin
    password file and your web server's configuration files are not
    left world-writable, and that only trusted people have access to
    them. (By default they're not world-writable, but it's good to
    make sure of this from time to time.)

    If you mean that yu forgo the password for yur encrypted backup then you can only:
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

    Hi,
    Why do you want to trigger a wflow and what do you want to do with this trigger. Can you give more details of your exact requirements.
    But, if you are looking for how to trigger, you can write a small ABAP pgm and schedule it as a job every night. THis job basically reads the table P1000-ENDDA for expiry date and if it reached today, then you can either trigger the wflow with SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW or use SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT to raise your custom event(for Business Obj. BUS7018, i think this is your BO and there are no std events right now, so you will ahve to add your custom event by extending BUS7018 to ZBUS7018).
    Hope I am clear and this helps and if you need more details, reply.

  • How to determine the agent of workflow administrator

    In the workflow, when there is any exception raised, we need to send notification to workflow administrator. My question, how to determine the agent of workflow administrator.

    Hi jrockman li,
    No it is not like that, i mean that administrator for workflow will a single person so you can simply give his userid as the agent.
    As you told "YES SAP HAVE WORKFLOW ADMINISTRATOR ROLES"
    SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_ADMIN          Administrator for Business Workflow
    SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_GP_ADMIN   Role for Guided Procedure Business Workflow Administrators
    SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_UWL_ADMIN UWL: Administrator for Workflow Functionality
    You can use this roles for the agent determination purpose for the workflow administrators.

  • Run button not appearing in 11.5.10.2 workflow administrator

    Hi,
    I am learning Oracle workflow on E-business suite 11.5.10.2 and very new in this.I am selecting a workflow in developer studio(under workflow administrator responsibility) and it is appearing also.But now when I want to run the workflow I am not getting any icon/button to run it.Can you please tell me where am I going wrong?

    Hi,
    Once you've logged in E-Business Suite, after navigating to Workflow Administrator Web (New) responsibility, are you saying that you don't see the "Run" icon which appears when you query an item type ?
    If yes, check that the user / responsibility that you've logged in with is a Workflow System Administrator. You can check/set this by logging into E-Business Suite (Workflow Administrator Web (New) responsibility, Administration tab. Instead of a standalone user account, you have an option to define a responsibility as a workflow admin, in which case all users possessing that responsibility inherit admin privileges.

  • Workflow Administrator Tcode

    Hello Experts,
    Can any of you help me with a workflow administrator tcode that has the ability to find all the workitem using the user ID.
    Im aware of the tcodes that can be used to find the workflow status with the task - dates etc... but im not able to find any which can be used to search workflow status with the user id.
    Regards,
    Regi.

    Hey Dilek,
    Thanks for the quick reply buddy, This will not help me because this gives me the list of workitem i can see as an approver , what i need is workflow log as a requester.
    If i use this and select the user id - this will show me the list of all the worklist for that user id as an approver and not as a requester, what i need is to trak the log as a requester using the logon id.
    Thanks,

  • Workflow Administrator SAP user Role

    I have a question from the customer regarding which SAP User Role should be assigned to and Workflow Administrator?
    From my point of view, basically there are 2 questions here:
    1. Is there any standard SAP user Role for this? (which one?)
    2. If not, then a custom Role need to be configured (from PFCG t-code i think). Can anyone tell me to which workflow transactions should be ground authority for such a Role?
