Compare different versions of a workflow template

Hi,
How can we compare workflow templates? We need to compare the different
versions available in our Quality and development systems for any kind of
changes -
1. new steps added
2. steps deleted
3. other changes related to binding, events etc..
What is best way to compare different versions of a workflow template??
regards,

Compare different project versions for material components?

hi all,
is it possible to display and compare different project versions for material components in different COLUMNS? i want to be able to view the data for each version in a different column.. currently i can view the different data per version but it is arranged by ROW but i want to know if its possible to have different layout/report showing the different versions in separate columns
Thanks in advance..

hi,
thanks but this is not the report im looking for.. i wonder if its possible to show a report similar to CNMM or CN53N wherein the different project version data can be displayed side by side as columns?
again, thanks in advance and regards..

Issue with Workflow template versions? Can any one suggest what to do.

Hello All.
Actually in quality system there is a workflow instance in error. I identified the error and fixed the issue with a new development and transported to quality. Now when i restart the error instance in quality, its not picking the latest template with additional steps i developed, instead, it is catching the older version.
For a fresh instance, my newer version of workflow is getting triggered, why not for error workflow.
I used swu_obuf to synchronize the buffer but no use. What could be the resolution.
Please suggest.
Regards
Prasad.

Hi Prasad
Running instances / Waiting / Or in error continue to run in the version in which they were started.
That is why Version increments in QA / PRD when you move a change... so that any running, waiting, error instance can pick the same version of the workflow.
It will not pickup your changed version. Logically it would be incorrect - start in Version A and end in Version B..... say start in version which "Auto Approves" a PO of value INR <=100 .... error .... restart in a changed version which now had auto approve limit of INR 1000. The PO will not be auto approved whereas the day it was started, the limit was only 100. So it makes sense to restart a workflow in the same version in which it was started. That is how the architecture has been designed.
To conclude, if the steps which went in error because of the data from your previous step (which you have changed now) - see if you can change the container data and restart the WI from SWIA so that the work item starts with a new set of data. Else, discuss with business owners to cancel these workflows and restart new ones.

SAP Workflow Template Changes

Hi Experts,
I have a custom Workflow template that needs some changes.
- Change in the BO method code of an existing standard task of this template
- Addition of elements in the main container of this template
- Changing the container bindings for email steps / edit email
How should I go about doing these changes, please advise
- Once I open the template in SWDD, is it advisable to goto Menu Workflow->Generate Version or directly edit the template and save.
Which is the best practice / difference it makes ?
- Any specific order that I need to follow while changing the different template components
- While transporting the TR for workflow templates, what should be taken care of ?
In Production system, version is 0003 and in Dev it is 0004, both with the same dates.
Also pls provide any link/document that can guide on the workflow change process, it would be great.
Thanks in advance for your time and inputs !

Mirza.

How do I Open a VI Reference to a version of a VI Template running in memory?

I'm spawning multiple versions of a VI Template using the VI server. I understand that each time I run a new version of the template it gets it's own space in memory. I then need to get a VI Reference to each indiviual version of the template running in memory so that I can open and close front panels dynamically, fron the calling VI and the template itself. When a version of a VI template is dynamically run LabVIEW renames it, so that the name of the VI running in memory is slightly different from the name of the template that it was based on, so I can't wire a name into the "Open VI Reference" node. I tried using the "Current VI's Path" node inside the template itself and that did not wor
k either.
I hope I explained this well enough. Any help greatly appreciated.

Alternatively, you can open a reference to the LV application and use a property node to get the names of all VIs in memory. Using this, you can generate a reference to the individual VIs too (without having to enter the path). You can wire the name of the VI to the "path" input of the open VI reference VI to open a reference to the VI if it is already in memory.

How can I distribute an application using Reprot generation Toolkit for MS Office for different versions of MS Office?

I want to create an application which uses the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office. The office version of the target machine depends on what my customer has installed.
From several discussions I have seen that the installer detects which version I have on my development machine. I'm not able to hold three or four machines with different versions (97,2000,2002,XP).
I decided to do the following software architecture:
I create a LLB MakeReport.llb with a VI called MakeReport.vi. With VI server I will start MakeReport.vi in MakeReport.llb. Over a named queue I will send a command from my application to MakeReport.vi. Then the report will be
printed.
I will create this LLB by saving MakeReport.vi with File>>Save with options...>>Application distribution. All neccessary VIs will be in the LLB.
I will hold different directories for each version. I can create different version of the LLB. During installation of my application the LLB for the right version will be copied from the CD to the application folder.
I know I will be restricted in testing my report in only one version and hoping it will be good in the other versions.
I think that the difference lays only in the word and excel related llbs.
1. Will my software architecture work or is it obviously wrong?
2. How will I get all versions from the toolkit CD?
3. Which is the registry key I must read to get the right version (a minor question, if somebody knows I do not need to search for myself).

Using 7.1.1, 8.5.1, 8.6.1, 2009 on XP and RT
Don't forget to give Kudos to good answers and/or questions

Lookout saves the files in .csv form which can be opened in Excel. I did make some progress by using the "append table to report" vi which allowed me to put values into an array and then those values were entered into my template on my report vi.
Where I am stuck now is I want to be able to put values into my template from a .csv file, not from an array I have to manually put numbers in.
Once those values are in my template I want to pull summed values from the template and place them into a final excel file for printing.
I have attached examples of the files I am working with to help you better understand what I am trying to do.
I hope that makes sense.

Different versions of Siebel

Please let me know whether we can use JCA or any other api to connect to different versions of Siebel namely 7.5 and 7.8 without invoking any jars provided with Siebel. If incase anybody has faced this problem.
thanks in advance.

Yes. You can use http to post a Siebel XML-formatted
message to Siebel. You specify one of the following actions to be performed on the XML message:
Delete
Upsert (Insert/Update)
Query
The result is that a corresponding Workflow is executed to process the message. A Siebel Workflow is a customized business application for managing and enforcing business processes.
Use http to POST the message to the Web server. The Siebel WebServer Extension invokes the specified Business Service which, in turn, starts an internal Workflow.
The Workflow invokes the Siebel EAI XML Converter, which converts the information from XML into the Siebel internal format and presents it to the Siebel EAI Adapter. The information is then sent to the Siebel Server via the Siebel Object Manager. If any data is to be returned, the Siebel EAI Adapter can pass the result to the EAI XML Converter and send the data back to the http client as a Siebel XML message.
You may want to consider using the httpsoap Binding Component. You can go to http://java.sun.com/javaee/index.jsp and click on the free downloads tab and download the Netbeans 5.5 Enterprise Pack Early Access to start playing with this.
Good Luck.

Different versions of Adobe Creative Suite Compatibility (CS5 and CS5.5)

Our marketing team has two different versions of Adobe Creative Suite (CS5 and CS5.5). We can save the CS5.5 down to an IDML document so users with CS5 can open/manipulate the file but it reduces the file size significantly. What I do not know is if this saving down process reduces the quality of the file?? I am relatively inexperienced with these programs as I am self-taught. Thanks for your help!

IDML is good for repairing files.
But IDML is not good to be used as exchange in a workflow because every export of IDML can change things in an unexpected way. So I would strongly recommend that everyone in the department involved in the workflow uses the very same version, anything else will let you struggle in a later point of time. When I have to exchange files with a client I use always their versions and avoid IDML in exchanging files in any case possible.
Between CS5.0 and 5.5 are also several changes possible, because some bugs related to the text engine became fixed. E.g. in CS5 if you had an automatic TOC or cross reference in a text frame with 1 or 3 round corners and 3 or 1 normal corners, automatic number got shuffled in that frame, like page 345 became 543. When this was fixed some changes in the text engine have been done.

Link between assets in different versions. (One update changes an asset in all 3 places)

I understand the hurdles it will take to give Adobe Muse the ability to create responsive sites, though I have very little knowledge of what it takes to make a change like this I wonder if there is a way to soften the blow of there being no true responsive option. My biggest problem with the 3 different versions (desktop, tablet, and phone) is the updating process. Every time I want to make an update, or a client makes an update, it has to be made in three separate places. This seems crazy to me - often times leading me away from creating a tablet version at all just so it is one less step. It would be great if there were a way to at least link assets between all three versions so that when one is changed all of them are updated. Like I said, I have no idea what goes into programming this software or how easy or difficult this would be to implement. In my opinion, this would be a great way to bridge the gap between the current Muse and a "perfect-world-responsive Muse".

Bottom line compare the SP number as directed to from HP based on part number from the FTP site not the F. number.
My problem wasn't quite that simple, though I wish it was. The Service Manual provided by HP for my computer through the P/N page did not have the processor that came with my computer when I purchased it brand new listed in the manual. I had to go through forums to find the correct service manual to get the specs and see what CPUs would work in an upgrade. When I did that usually the F number not the SP number was used. If using the SP number was standard I don't think I would have had so much of an issue. A big part of the reason I started the search and asked the question was I found references to people using the HP driver page and then upgrading the CPU based on the corresponding numbers provided in the service manual for my exact computer P/N and it not working. And this was both on this HP Forum as well as other forums.

Not Able to see Workflow Template in 4.6c

Hello Experts,
I am working on 4.6C version. I have a strange problem, when i use the transaction SWDD, i am not able to insert the workflow template say WFXXXXX but in the pop up if i press WF Definition then i am able to see the template.If i directly press enter(Insert) in the pop up screen then it is saying Workflow Template doesn't exist.
Can any one of you please help me in this. One more doubt, is it possible to Retrieve WF Template if it is deleted by mistake in 4.6C??.
Thanks a lot in advance....
Rgds,
Mohan

Hi Jagan,
The workflow template is by naming convension WSxxxxxxxx. Please try using this and check if you find the template.
Also you can trace the workflow template in t-code PFTC. Select WS Workflow Template and give your workflow template ID. It would give you the details of your workflow.
Hope this helps!

CS4: client wants 800 "different" versions

Hi,
I have designed a ticket for a client, which is almost done.
Now, that client wants me to make 800 different versions of it: each will have number on it, going from 1 to 800.
However, doing this by hand will take enormously much time...
So is there an easy way to do this?
The numbers will be displayed in a font with layerstyle, so it is editable.

Variables might do the trick.
Make a template then use Image<Variables<Define to replace the ticket numbers, etc.
Here's a link to a Layer's magazine video tutorial on the subject:

Hi All,
Recenlty we have moved the workflow templates from 4.6c to ECC 5.0. We are able to open all the workflow templates except one workflow .
While trying to open the workflow template Via PFTC_DIS or SWDD, We are getting following error.
"Type definition for element 'DEL_TEXT' is invalid".
Please help me in this issue.
Thanks in advance,

"Type definition for element 'DEL_TEXT' is invalid".
I feel like in the new system to which the workflow was transported, there in that system, in the workflow conatiner this element is missing and
You can get confirmed, by using Syntax Check (CTRL + F2 ) which might help you to know a better status of the workflow template which is bothering you
Please make a check and try to report the workflow, if there any exsists , then please Generate a version of currrent definition workflow and then make changes to it to fix the bug associated with the Workflow template
