Configuring forms with work flow

Hi,
I want to install Forms6i and configure it to work with Oracle work flow and my environment details are as follows:
Platform: Solaris Operating System (SPARC) (64-bit) - Operating System Version: 5.7
Product: Portal - Product Version: 3.0.9.8.1
Database Version: 8.1.7.2(32-bit)
I would appreciate if some one could tell me what are all the steps involved to install/configure Forms, as we already installed oracle 9iAS and 8i database and how to re-link the libraries?
Thanks,
Karthik

Install problems with Work Flow 9.0.4

I've installed the 10g (9.2.0.4 rdbms and 9.0.4 AS and CMSDK) on a RedHat 3 ES machine and had no problems (thanks to Werner Puschitz for his great how to http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml).
Now I am trying to install the Work Flow product that accompanies the ias904cmsdk. But the Work Flow configuration fails when it tests the SYS login.
My reading of the sqlnet.log and workflow.log files is that the install script (wfinstall.csh) is trying to start an instance of Oracle in the AS bin folder. (Fatal TNS error connecting to ...(PROGRAM=/opt/.../as9i/bin/oracle)...
I installed the J2EE / Webcache installation of AS (as per the CMSDK recommendations) so there is no instance of oracle in the AS home/bin folder. The rdbms is in a different ORACLE_HOME than Work Flow. I've tried setting and unsetting the ORACLE_HOME and this makes no difference.
Does anyone out there have any ideas?

Custom Tabular Form with working days by quarter

Hi All, I'm trying to create an application to improve an old excel that some people use in my office. I came across a challenge: create a page when a user can submit for each business day the amount of hours worked, the real problem is that I have to show on the same page 40 business days that need to be dynamic, I mean that there is a "period" table that has a start date and end date, the range between those two MINUS the Saturdays and Sundays should be the amount of COLUMNS that the report show.
create table CT_PERIOD(
PERIOD_ID VARCHAR2(6),
PERIOD_FY VARCHAR2(4),
PERIOD_QUARTER VARCHAR2(1),
PERIOD_START_DATE DATE,
PERIOD_END_DATE DATE,
PERIOD_DAY_COUNT NUMBER,
insert into ct_period values ('1', 'FY14', 'Q1', to_date('01-JUN-2013', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), to_date('25-AUG-2013', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 56);
commit;
I searched in the web for some example of this with no luck, if somebody did something like this or knows where I can see an example that would be great!
Thanks!

Hi guys,
I'm having exactly the same problem, I need a tabular form with days as columns to add actual working hours for each day as for each row ( task)

Help Needed with Work Flow

Hi all
I am very new at this. I got a new task to fix an existing Work Flow. The portion that needs to be fixed is: it shoots an e-mail to get approval when a changed rate is greater then its Standard rate. Now the problem is there are multiple standard rate for a single entry. So we need to pick the lowest one from all the entry for that record.
So I need to insert a loop where it picks the standard rate. but i can't figure out how to tell the loop to end when there are no more standard rate for that record and also pick the minimum one.
I am not sure these description is enough or not.
If not please let me know what else you need to know.
thanks

Anyone? Bueller?
Ah well, I knew that I probably was cutting into some newer territory here...
Once I get it figured out, I'll post what I've learned about this activity for everyone to share.

Need help with work flow

I need advice on importing raw photos. Right now I import raw files from my camera to desktop then open lightroom and import from disk. My problem is when I want to delete a photo I don't believe when I delete from lightroom it deletes the photo from the folder where I downloaded it to my desktop?? I hope someone can give me some advice on importing photos from my camera to lightroom...Bob

You may have duplicate folders, one where you first placed it and one where LR copied to.
Check by having LR show you the location of the photo, and then see if all the images are in that folder/directory. Then look for another folder (still on DT?), and delete it, after having made a full scale backup of the whole system.
When I d/l to desktop, I then put the folder where I want it to ultimately live, and tell LR to import in place.

Work flow configuration

hi all,
I have a problem regarding the work flow configuration as from work flow developer i am taking a role of work flow adminstration for a new role out. I have problem configuring the swu3 tcode for new SAP ECC6.0. please let me know what are the necessary work bench requests and custom requests needed to be done and transported to production.
I have a problem with the new configured SAP ECC 6.0 in swdd the view is not changing from Tree mode to Graphical mode please help with this issue.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Krishna C M

Hello Chaitanya,
The option to change the modeling view is disabled in ECC 6.0, which is Graphical(Network) by default. But you can have a similar type of view of the steps in the displayed in the workflow definition under the navigation area tab. This is present to the left in the screen of workflow builder under the Information area.
From the SAP online help you can see that "You can only use the graphical modeling view if you are working with the SAPGUI for Windows. If you call the Workflow Builder using a different SAP GUI, the tree view is displayed automatically."
But still if you want to see the tree view of a workflow definition just change the tab "Graphical Tab" to "Tree Modelling" which is present at the top of the workflow graphical diagram beside the Information area tab.
Hope this will help you.

Dear supriyaparimal,
Please find the below points to fix your issue.
1. Configure the out put determination by using the condition type KRML.(Hope oyu have done it already).
2.Maintain the condition records in VV11 for condition type "KRML"
3.Then select the condition record and click the communication tab .
4. If you want to give any information you can use "Note for recipient".

Save the documnet.
If you raise the sales order and if it is blocked then system automatically send the information to respective person.
You can get this in formation in ""SBWP" transaction code.
Check the in box, the information what you have mentioned in the condition records will be appeared.
Please let me know if you have any clarifications

What is use of work flow in master contracts

Dear sd experts
i know configuration of Master contracts But thing is i would like to know why We have to Configure work flow in Master contracts with Work flow consultant ?
i have not traced any thing in the google please help me
thanks a lot

Hi,
Here is the explanation from the workflow help page.
"Changing the master contract triggers a workflow that accesses the assigned lower level contracts and automatically copies the changes to the lower level contract. If an error occurs, a work item appears in the inbox of the person who changed the master contract, who has to process it manually. A separate window displays all the changes that have been made for information purposes."

Work flow management - SD

Dear Friends,
1.Can somebody throw light on Work Flow management?
2.How is SD integrated with Work flow and what are the business processes that needs work flow in SD?
3.Is it like a Work flow consultant is required to handle this or can we handle the workflow from SD end itself?
Thanks
Isaac

Hi,
Few points on workflow was prepared by me and screen shots are not there. You can refer
ALE, EDI and IDOC Technologies for SAP by Arvind Nagpal
For further detail.
if the requirment is minimal then SD consultant can handle otherwise Workflow consultant is required.
Introduction
The workflow management system provides procedural automation of steps in business process. A business process can consist of several steps. Historically the tasks have been coordinated manually or by some means of communication (sticky note, email, shouting and so on). The common problem in these approaches is in efficiency; each lacks a way to trace where a task is, who executed (or executing) it, and how much time is required.
In contrast, workflow management system ensures that the right work is sent to the right person at the right time in the right sequence with the right information. The ALE/EDI interface mainly uses workflow for exception (or error) handling.
Application of Workflow in ALE/EDI
Error Notification
Error notification is the primary use of workflow. When exceptions are raised in the outbound and inbound process workflow is started and handled as shown in the below flow diagram.
Active Monitoring
Active monitoring allows you to specify threshold values for the state of the system. If the system crosses the threshold limit, a person responsible for the system problem can be notified. For example you can have some one notified when the number of failed invoice IDOCS in the system exceeds 50.
Rule Based Inbound Flow
This application of workflow in ALE/EDI does not under the category of error handling. You can set up workflow to handle processing of an inbound IDOC. Normally, an inbound IDOC starts a function module that invokes the posting program to create an application document from the IDOC.
In contrast, if you use a workflow, you can set up to do whatever is needed for your business process. SAP doesnu2019t provide standard workflows for the inbound ALE/EDI process, but you can develop your own workflows and tie them to the ALE/EDI process.
For example an incoming order change IDOC can be routed via workflow to a person for review. If the change requested are acceptable the IDOC can be posted.
The Architecture of ALE/EDI Workflow
The components used in ALE/EDI workflow fall into two categories:-
u2022     PD-ORG (organizational) object
u2022     Workflow object
You can view and maintain these components by using the T-code SWLD (Area Menu for workflow).
                         PD-ORG
                                                                                Workflow
PD Organizational Objects
PD ORG object is used to represent the companyu2019s organizational structure in SAP. The following are the PD ORG objects.
u2022     Organizational Units (O)
An Organizational Unit can represent a department, physical location, division or subsidiary.
u2022     JOBS(C)
A job involves performing one or more business tasks. For example, sales order clerk, secretary and manager. Although it is possible to assign individual task directly to a position, it is advisable to group tasks together in a job and to assign the job to the position.
u2022     Position(S)
A position in a company represents his or her rank. If an employee is promoted, that person leaves his or her current position and is assigned to another position. For example, sales order clerk plant 1000, secretary of company code 1000 and manager of accounts.
u2022     Users (US)
A user is a person who has been granted access to the SAP system to use various functions.
All the above mentioned PD ORG objects can be created, changed and displayed by using following T-codes.
u2022     PPOCE  Create mode.
u2022     PPOME  Change mode.
u2022     PPOSE  Display mode.
Screen shot1.
Work Flow Objects
Business objects
A business object represents a business entity that has a definite state and various properties. You can carry out various functions on the object. A business object encapsulates the entire functionality of an object. A business object is given a name in SAP.
For instance, a standard material is assigned the name BUS1001006; it has properties such as material number, description, and material type. These properties are represented using attributes of the business object. The various operations that can be carried out on an object are implemented with methods. For example, if you want to create a material, you can call that business objects create method. An object also has different states. It exposes its various states by publishing events. For example, the material object has created event that is published whenever a new material is created.
The T-code for Business Objects is SW01.
Screen shot2.
Tasks (T or TS)
A task defines a piece of work that can be executed and tracked in the system. Technically, a task points to a method of an object as shown in the below screen shot. In addition, a task defines the text the purpose of the task, the triggering event based on which the task is started, the terminating event that marks the completion of the task, and a role that contains the rules to identify the person who is responsible for executing the task. A task can be started in response to an event triggered in the system. Tasks are categorized as
u2022     Standard Task
Standard Task is provided by SAP and is client independent.
u2022     Customer Task
Customer Task is client dependent and is developed by customers.
The T-code for Tasks is PFTC.
Screen shot3.
Roles
Roles are workflow objects used to determine the person responsible for carrying out a specific task. Each task has a role assigned to it.
The T-code for Roles is PFAC.
Screen shot4.
Work item
A work item represents an instance of a task that needs to be executed. The work item can have various states that govern the operations allowed. The following table describes the various states of a work item and its effect on usability.
Status      Description
Ready     A work item is created and is visible to all selected agents.
Reserved      A work item has been reserved by a user and disappears from all the inbox of other selected users.
In process     A work item is being worked on and can be seen in the inbox of the user who started working on it.
Completed      A work item is complete and cannot be seen in the inbox of any user
The SAP INBOX
The SAP inbox is an interface to manage workflow items and SAP office documents. The below screen shot shows a list of work items in a useru2019s inbox. The SAP inbox contains separate buckets for office documents and workflow items. Office documents are email documents and workflow items are work items. You can display and execute the work items from the inbox. The inbox is highly configurable.
Screen shot5.
Error Notification Process
The error notification process comprises the following steps:-
u2022     Determining the task to be started.
u2022     Routing the error to a responsible agent as a work item.
u2022     Processing of the work item by the responsible agent.
Possible Agents versus Selected Agents versus Actual Agents
A task has three types of agents based on rights to execute:
u2022     Possible agents
Possible agents represent persons who can execute a task. Not all the possible agents get a work item when a task is started.
Possible agents are configured in the system by assigning a task to
several HR objects (job, position, Org unit). A task can be set to
General task, which means that it can be executed by any one.
u2022     Selected agents
Selected agents are the users who get a work item in their inbox. They
are determined by role resolution logic. Selected agents must be a
subset of possible agents. If the selected agent is not found, the work
item is sent to all possible agents. The selected agents are configured
in the partner profile and the IDOC administrator in T-code WE46.
u2022     Actual agents
The actual agent is the person who executes the work item from the inbox. A work item can have several selected agents but only one actual agent. When a selected agent executes a work item, the actual agent for the work item is established, and the work item immediately disappears from the inbox of other selected agents. However, if an actual agent realizes that he or she cannot resolve the problem, the user can replace the work item, causing it to reappear in the selected agentu2019s inboxes.
Level of Agents in ALE/EDI process
Level 1
If a partner profile is located for the problem, the organizational object specified at the message level (inbound or outbound) in the partner profile is notified.
Level 2
If level 1 is cannot be identified because of the problem locating the record, the level 2 organizational object specified in the General View of the Partner profile is read.
Level 3
If neither level 1 nor level 2 can be identified, the system reads the EDICONFIG table for IDOC administrator and sends a notification.
Processing by the Responsible Agent
u2022     The steps necessary to fix an error for which a work item is generated are as follows.
u2022     Execute work item to display the error. Examples of errors include problems in the control record, errors in IDOC data, and incorrect configuration.
u2022     The cause of the problem can usually be determined from the error message. If applicable, additional error information is also available for certain type of errors (for example application errors).
u2022     After the cause of the problem has been determined, it must be fixed outside workflow (or in some cases, within workflow). The recovery procedure depends on the nature of the problem.
-     If the error is in the IDOC data, the IDOC can be edited and then reprocessed from workflow.
-     If the error requires restarting the process from the beginning, the IDOC has to be marked for deletion to stop it from further processing and to clear the work item from the inbox.
-     If the error involves an IDOC that has not been created yet, the work item merely informs the person about the error.

Work flow in WD application

Dear Experts,
I have a output of web dynpro application where a column has an URL. My user requests to trigger workflow when he clicks the URL.
I dont know how WDA integrated with work flow. Please could you explain some scenarios why Work flow is used in WDA and What is the role for it in WDA?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
To start a workflow you can use function module SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW.
In your Web Dynpro app you can use a LinkToAction, then in the properties of the LinkToAction object go to Events section, you will see the OnAction event, click on the icon on the right side on the line where you see OnAction to create a new action, you can call it START_WORKFLOW, the corresponding event handler method will be added to the view controller called ONACTIONSTART_WORKFLOW.
Then call the function module SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW within the ONACTIONSTART_WORKFLOW method.
Enjoy!
Best regards... Lucio
