1)Check release group ,release codes
2)Simulate release strategy in the config of release strategy
3)Check the user is mapped in ur org plan in tcode PPOME
4)Check value of characterstic properly maintained in tcode CL24N
5)Check authorization and roles properly assigned to the user with correct release codes.

The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information. Outcome: Unknown Error

Received this error (The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.) recently on a workflow that was
working fine and no changes were made to the workflow.
I have tried a few suggestions, i.e. adding a pause before any ‘Update’ action (which didn’t help because the workflow past this action without incident); checked the data type being written
to the fields (the correct data types are being written); and we even checked the list schema to ensure the list names and the internal names are aligned (they
are), but we still cannot figure out why the workflow is still throwing this error.
We located the area within the workflow step where it is failing and we inserted a logging action to determine if the workflow would execute the logging action but it did not, but wrote the same error message.
The workflow is a Reusable Approval workflow designed in SharePoint Designer 2010 and attached to a content type.
The form associated with the list was modified in InfoPath 2010.
Approvers would provide their approval in the InfoPath form which is then read by the workflow.
Side note - items created after the workflow throws this Unknown Error some seem to be working fine.
We have deleted the item in question and re-added it with no effect.
Based on what we were able to determine there don’t seem to be any consistency with how this issue is behaving.
Any suggestions on how to further investigate this issue in order to find the root cause would be greatly appreciated?
Cheers

Hi,
I understand that the reusable workflow doesn’t work properly now. Have you tried to remove the Update list item action to see whether the workflow can run without issue?
If the workflow runs perfectly when the Update list item action is removed, then you need to check whether there are errors in the update action. Check whether the values have been changed.

Custom Workflow using Oracle Workflow in ContentDB

Hi,
Could we use custom workflow which is made using Oracle Workflow instead of BPEL.
Regards,
Yulisar

Having registered custom workflows for Content DB via Enterprise Manager, potentially you can use any tool capable of dequeuing/enqueing messages from the IFS_BPEL_OUT/IFS_BPEL_IN advanced queues as part of a custom workflow process.
By default, we assume you are using Oracle BPEL PM with its Advanced Queue adapater to process the queue messages. However, there is nothing stopping using Oracle Workflow or any tool for that matter.
HOWEVER!!! Warning!!! There is a high probability that Content DB will drop the bundled Oracle Worflow installation in the near future. What this means, is that you should consider installing/configure/patching your own separate Oracle Workflow installation and not rely on the bundled Content DB solution which is used internally for Serial and Parallel Approval workflows.
thanks,
Matt.

How are you all able to test Workflow

I'm trying to implement workflow (update values). It is my understanding that any changes made to the workflow don't show up until the next day. If I am correct this makes it hard to test a workflow (in a timely manner)to be sure it is set up correctly.

One thing I've learned is to debug the workflow creating tasks that are assigned to yourself. Once that is working, then go switch to email (assuming that's what you are trying to do). I've found the task creation to be very dependable. Email delivery has disappointed me more than once.

Report based on particular workflow

Hi all.
We made a custom workflow for t code fv60. It has got various levels of approvals and conditions. Now the requirement is to develop a report based on this workflow - similar to swi1. but our purpose of the report is to show various parked and published FI documents and the various users in whose inboxes these document mails are kept in varios approvaql stages. E. G. If today a document is parked by user abc and is approved at first level by user def and now that document is in user ghi's inbox as a workitem , waiting his approval, the report should show all the users and the statuses of document at each stage.
Is it possible?.
if so please give some sample code or example on how to build the report.
Thanks
Ribhu

Hi,
Yes, it is possible but it will be specific to your workflow only and as Kjetil says making a very general report like this for any workflow will be tough !!
However i can suggest the following so that you can start continuing on this
1. First find out the Workflow Template number used and also list all the major user decision steps Task Numbers ( say approval1 - Task1, approval2 - Task2, approval3 - Task 3) used. Lets call it as {Task List}
2. Given the from date and to date and type of document ( KR/KG etc..) get all the FI Documents parked/created on these dates.
3. For each FI Invoice No call SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECT with proper object type ( should be either FIPP or BKPF) , object key ( company code + doc no + fiscal year), fill in the Task Filter with your Task List}
a. The Table parameter WORKLIST will contain information about the workitems related to your user decision items, loop through them and if completed find the actual agent else find the list of recipients using SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_RECIPIENTS, you can show this as inprocess.
4. Infact once you get the WORKLIST you can do whatever you want.
If you have more than one possible workflows associated with same Invoice , then you have to filter your WORKLIST again based on correct workflow template number using WI_CHCKWI field.
Good Luck !!

Pdf/x-4 2010 pdf preset made via Indesign not compatible with Illustrator?

Hello all
I am working with a digital printing company and want to create a pdf preset that they can distribute to their customers to help make sure pdfs are properly made for their workflow. We've tested pdf/x-4 on their equipment and want to make that standard the base for their preset.
I made a preset in IndesignCC which shows up and is accessible in InDesignCC and PhotoshopCC, but is not accessible in IllustratorCC. It does not show up in the presets list in the "save as... pdf" dialogue. It does show up in the Edit>Adobe PDF Presets function though.
When I attempt to load the .joboptions file into Illustrator via that Adobe PDF Presets function I get the error "The preset is not recognized as a valid .joboptions file."
I noticed that IllustratorCC is using the pdf/x-4 (2008) standard, while InDesignCC is using the pdf/x-4 (2010).
Is IllustratorCC not yet compatible with the 2010 standard? If not, this is a serious wrench in the pdf preset workflow that allows the applications to share .joboptions files amongt themselves.
Any thoughts or help solving the problem of sharing that InDesign Generated preset with Illustrator would be much appreciated.

Hi jdanek, thanks for replying. PDF/x-4 supports transparency natively, supports multiple color spaces (this allows the vendor's rips to handle color conversion), and is an excellent option for their PDF print engine workflow. They want a custom variety that sets the resolution, bleed, etc. to give to their customers.
I did resolve the issue by making a new preset in Illustrator. That one is also available in InDesign and Photoshop but still, I'm curious as to why the InDesign-made preset is not compatible with Illustrator.

SAP Standard Workflow for REFUNDS in FS-CD

Hi
We have a requirement to implement SAP Workflow in Financial Services Collections & Disbursements (FS-CD) module for REFUNDS Approval.
Is there any SAP standard Workflow available to meet the requirement?
How to find the Standard SAP workflows available for different Modules (MM, SD, PM, FI, FS-CD etc)?
Correct answers will be rewarded with points.
Thanks

Just to add:
The error that I am encountering in the second run/cycle for the PR approval workflow is Import container contains errors (are any obligatory elements missing?)
Basically, WS20000077 will be executed if an approval level is seen. Once the approval is made, then the workflow is also completed. However, for multiple approvers, I only get to execute successfully the first level approval. The succeeding levels are encountering errors as stated above

Trigger Workflow on User sattus change !!!!

Dear all,
I need to develop a workflow which should get triggered when user status is changed in the Maintenance Order. I have used Event Trace (SWELS) to trace the event but gettinng nothing when user status get changed what could be the reason.
Please help me to proceed as i m new to the workflow.

Hi MB,
I have checked the transaction SWEL there i have forund that on the BOR object AFVC_PM task TS2000015 is attached and the event linkage checkbox is checked but i don't know whether it is working correctly or not i have seen that there is a workflow WS20000031 for Maint. Order but don't know how to configure it.
What i have dont till now is i have made my own workflow which will just send mail, now i want that i could include my Maint. Order No. when mail is sent to the addresed reciptient could you please help me on this .
Second thing what i have done in is that in transaction SWE2 i have added a new entry for the BOR object AFVC_PM in this i have given the following entry:-
Object Category :- BOR Object Type
Object Type        :- AFVC_PM
Event                  :- RELEASED
Receiver Type      :- WS80000003
Receiver Call                   :- Function module
Receiver Function Modue :- SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT_IBF
And then i have checked the box Linkage Activated.
Now is this sufficient to trigger my workflow whenever the Maint. Order is released or something else is to be done.
I m totally confused what to do now please guide me.
Also i have one question
When we say that we have to create our own event is this mean that we have to create a BOR object? If no then from where we can create our own event what is the procedure for it .
Please help me.

Workflow creating new name when Publishing

Hi team,
I am having an issue with workflows really weird.
I would edit the workflow to change a setting on the (for example, change who the workflow would send an email to) the workflow and publish it, the name of the workflow would change and add a parentheses to the workflow.
For example, Email TEST would change to Email TEST (1), Email TEST (2), etc.
Because of this, there are 4 workflows in progress. The old ones and the new ones and the users will get 4 emails from all 4 workflows. Granted, changes to the workflow would be made while the workflow was active.
In designer, if I click on one of the Email TEST(1), it would open the original Email TEST. If you try to run the workflow manually, all the workflows appear as choices to select from. It’s like it creates a completely new workflow, however when you open
it designer it still reverts to the original one.
when we delete all workflows in Progress, and change who the email is being sent to, it still creates a new name of the workflow.
In the test environment, we terminated all the workflows. Modified the Send email to user, and published it. It would change the name to Email ATAM (1), while the original workflow still had the same changes.
Ideas??

Hi,
Whenever you publish a SPD workflow, it will add a new instance of the workflow with (n) added to the new instance.
Usually, the old instance will not be active, if active you can still remove the instances on the same page you have attached.
One suggestion is to remove all the previous instances of the workflow and publish the new workflow and assign it to the list / doc lib.
While editing the workflow, it always edits the actual workflow that you have developed using SPD.
I think its little confusion with Workflow instance that was assigned to the list and workflow that you are editing using SPD.
Hope this helps!

Shopping Cart Workflow - "Wait for change event" not firing?

Hi there,
I have a scenario where if I create a shopping cart above my spending limit it will go into the approver's inbox, that is fine.
Now if I change the total value of the shopping cart to be within my spending limit the original workflow should be "logically deleted" and a "no step approval workflow" should be triggered.
I see when the SC workflow triggers it also branches with a "wait for events", so that if it changes etc it will get caught here.
When I change the SC it does not do anything, the value of the cart changes but it still sits in the approvers inbox and the "no step approval workflow" does not trigger.
We are busy upgrading to SRM 5.0, it worked perfectly in the SRM 3.0 system we had.
Any ideas what would cause the "change event" not to fire?
Thanks for the help
Lynton

Hey Masa,
You are the man!! That solved it.....I have implemented the BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI and for whatever reason I set the security level to 4 when it should have been 2.
4     "High" (workflow is never restarted when changes are made)
3     "Medium" (WF restarted conditionally when changes are made)
2     "Low" (workflow is always restarted when changes are made)
1     "None" (changes to the object are not allowed)
0     "Not defined"
Thanks for the help

Shopping Cart workflow retrigger for changes done to SC already created

Hi all,
A shopping cart is created and later on in "Check Status" when the shopping cart is opened in change mode and any changes are made to the shopping cart either header or item level, the whole approval workflow is retriggered and the approvers are determined again.
We have a scenario where for a particular account assignment category the approvers are added manually - ad hoc approvers through the "Add Approver" in "Approval Preview". For these shopping carts with manual approvers when in "Check Status" any changes are done to header or items of the shopping cart, the whole approval workflow is retriggered and the manual approvers previously added are refreshed as per standard SAP.
I have to put a check in DOC_CHECK badi for the existence of approvers. If no approvers found an error message has to be thrown for adding the approvers manually. I am doing this by reading the approvers from the container for a cart created already. But when changes are made and the workflow is retriggered, the workflow container contains only the previous approvers and not the refreshed ones. So this is not captured in DOC_CHECK badi.
Is there any way to capture the retriggering of workflow in DOC_CHECK badi, so that the check for approvers works fine even after a change being done to a shopping cart which is already created.
Thanks and Regards,
Asha

Automatically run workflows

ok, i'm new to automator but not to mac. I just made myself a workflow from a guide to sync to itunes libraries. it gets the specified servers but when it tries to connect, the spiral thing just keeps spinning.
How do i get this to work?
Regards

I just added some options (oops, it looks like a character got lost in there, too). I have an AppleScript that uses rsync with logging, and it produces itemized changes in the logs. Running it with the --dry-run option (which doesn't actually do any copying), the command is something like:
/usr/bin/rsync --archive --extended-attributes --human-readable --delete --dry-run --itemize-changes --verbose --log-file='/Users/johndoe/library/Logs/rsync.log' '/Users/johndoe/Music/iTunes/' '/Volumes/johndoe/Music/iTunes'
On second thought, here is the complete script - give it a try (especially with the dry run option) and see if you get different results:

SAP Standard Workflow for PR Release (with user exit)

Hi SAP WF Gurus,
Good day!
I just wanted to check with you if you have ever used a user exit in the activation of the standard workflow for PR (overall ( release. What we have is a two0step approval process wherein each level has a proxy/alternate approver. We used the available user exit to accommodate this customer requirement since the standard release would only allow us to define 1 approver as a prerequisite for the next level. We were able to execute this on the first level approval; however, we observed that the workflow is not anymore triggered (i.e. does not send work items to agents) for the level 2 release. My questions therefore are:
1. How to set up SWEC? I already executed SWELS and SWEL to check if the events are being created and event linkage is automatically deactivated after running into an error regarding the binding...My initial SWEC setup is for BANF BUS2105 RELEASED On Change. I am assuming that since the workflow was released from the first level, this should be the starting point
2. How to rectify the binding error? I already executed automatic binding in the WF header for the start events but still face it
Your inputs/comments are most welcome
Regards,
DeLo

Just to add:

Deleting Workflow definition

I am thinking of using script wfrmitt.sql to drop the design and run time information for one specific item type.
After the delete I am planning to apply the new workflow definition for the same item type.
This is because changes made to the workflow objects are not reflecting in my test instance.
Pl. advise if there is better way of updating the workflow definition.
Thanks

Figured it out. I don't need to delete the definition. See my other posting @ Workflow changes not reflected
Sorry for the confusion.
