Container element for number of deadlines missed

Hi,
Is there a container element already available in which the number of deadlines missed is registered for a dialog step ?
Meaning if deadline is kept for 2 days then container will increment every two days ?
thanks
Dipti

Not unless you create one and make sure it gets populated.

Container element for Count in Parallel Approval Workflow

Hi Gurus,
We are using ECC 6.0 and I have this below requirement. Please share your thoughts on how we can achieve this.
We are using a User decision step in parallel workflow to generate and send individual work items to multiple approvers. that is, we generate multiple work items and send to individual approvers for the same step in the workflow and get the combined result (Approve or Reject) to proceed further. I understand that individual result for each work item is stored in container element '_RESULT' (0001 for Approve, 0002 for Reject) and combined result of all the sub-work items is stored in '_WI_RESULT' (0001 for Approve, 0002 for Reject). Also, we can see the index # of work items generated for the same step (node) from container element ''_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX'.
My requirement is to set work item to COMPLETED status after we obtain a certain # of APPROVE (_RESULT = 0001) decision. Let's say, after 2 of the approvers say Ápproved', then I'd like to close all the other relevant work items and set the Combined result '_WI_RESULT'to APPROVE and Complete the relevant work item. I was wondering if there is a container element that holds the (count) # of work items generated in individual work item container so that I can keep reading this value to see how many decisions have been made. That is, for example, If there are 3 parallel work items generated and 1st user said Äpproved', is there a way to know out of a total of 3 approvals (to get the combined result '_WI_RESULT'), one is completed and 2 approval decisions are still pending. I'm trying to use step-level Pgm Exit (After_execution Method) to read this container element for # of approvals done and if the combined result '_WI_RESULT'is '0001'(Approve), i'll try to end other work items. One way of doing is to have a custom table to capture this and keep reading this table after each decision. But, I don't want to have all this customization and I believe there should be a way the SAP is storing somewhere this # of completed or Pending approval work items that got originated from a single step/node. One way of doing could be, after each decision, read the dependent work items (having same node # and Parent Work item etc.,) and get the other relevant work items and read their status etc., But I think this is a lengthy process and may be there is an easier way, perhaps some container element that holds this information.
Please let me know if you need any clarification on my requirement and share your thoughts on how I can achieve easily.
Appreciate and thank you in advance for your help.

Venu

Hi Karri,
Thank you for your reply. I was actually doing the same with having an APR_COUNT and passing that for each of individual work items and bind it back to task--> wflow container. And keep checking this counter in wf container.
Once, we obtain certain # of approvals, then I guess I'll have to complete or cancel the other work items.
I was thinking may be there is some container element already exists that keep track of this, I guess not .
Thanks for your input

Workflow: check multiline container element for emptiness

Hi!
Please suggest how to check multiline workflow-container element for emptiness in condition block.
Regards,
Maxim.

Hi Max,
One way to do this is to add a process step which calls a function module passing the multiline container as the import parameter. In this function mod, you can check for emptiness and set a variable which will be the export parameter. Map this export parameter of the step to a workflow container field. Finally in the next step (control block) you can check the above workflow field.

How to determine worklfow container element for BUS2031?

Hai Aditya,
Thanks for your reply.
yes . I want to know what base we can create container element.
Flow is like this :somebody create quotation , it will for manager approval & finally goes(mail) to customer.
For this I am using object type BUS2031. Now I want to create w/f container element(in workflow template).From BUS2031(customer quotation), I understand that I need to create one w/f container as &Quotation&.what are others container element I have to create. This is my questions.

Container element for text comment

Hi
Can someone please assist me with the correct table that I can use to reference my container element to that will be used
for rejection comments..
Needs to be a long text field.
I searched the forum but cant find anything ..
Many thks
Gerhard

In changing tab there is parameter CH_TEXT that is table type CATSXT_LONGTEXT_ITAB. (You could actually use this in the container element and it should be then automatically multiline element). This table type consists of lines of TXLINE (72 characters long). If I test the function in SE37, it seems to return all the text that I write in the text box. If the text exceeds 72 characters, there will be several lines...
If you are having problems with the containers, please check that all the container elements / parameters (task, metdod, workflow) are correct type (=mutiline).

Karri

hi experts,
i am new to workflow,
i am using the FM EWW_WORKFLOW_START to start a workflow.
my issue is that i am using the std BO BUS2017
i am not getting the element name that i need to pass to the container.
When i see in SWDD it shows
Import Parameter BUS2017 in the list of workflow container elements. but when i pass the OBJKEY: materialDocument and matdocumentyear like
concatenate '5000000305' '2009 ' into text1.
swc_set_element   t_cont 'BUS2017' text1 .
its not getting passed to the workflow.
but i added 2 new elements mblnr and year to the container and i pass it , it gets passed.
how can i know the exact Element name?
or where could i be wrong?
thanks and regards,

objtype type swo_objtyp,
objkey type swo_typeid,
end of lv_object_instance.
* Define the container
swc_container lt_wf_cont.
* Create the container
swc_create_container lt_wf_cont.
* Clear the container (not necessary here)
swc_clear_container lt_wf_cont.
lv_object_instance-objtype = 'FORMABSENC'.
lv_object_instance-objkey = '0000000088'.
lt_wf_cont-element = 'ABSENCEFORM'.
lt_wf_cont-value = lv_object_instance.
append lt_wf_cont.

Over Time Workflow Container elements not updated

Hi,
I am using Standard Task TS20000459 for approval of Overtime entered for an employee in CAT2 transaction.
Work item is getting generated to his manager's inbox.
Issue is, subject of the work item should have employee number and Employe name. Standard Task contains Container elements &TS_PERNR& and &TS_ENAME& which is not getting filled with any values.
Can any one suggest me how to get the same?
Regards,
Saravana Perumal

Hi Shanti
I faced the same problem...And i resolved that problem by binding...
Create the container element for PERNR and ENAME in the standard task ts20000459 as well as in workflow container.Then bind those container values.
Before bind the workflow and task container, you have to bind the workflow container with the event container.

Container Element in ALERT

Dear Experts,
Can you plz explain, when it is required to create a CONTAINER ELEMENT in Alert Configuration.? As we can use the System Defined Variables like SXMS_ERROR_CODE, SXMS_FROM_INTERFACE etc, what is the need for the container element?
The System Defined Variables are filled by the System during Runtime, when such an error happens. But who ll fill the Customized Container Variable and how??
Also while creating a Container Element for ALERT, the data type can be of OBJECT TYPE/ ABAP DICT.REFERENCE/ABAP DICT DATA TYPE. What is the significance of each?
Plz explain.
Regards,
Navneet

Hi Navneet,
The container element contains all the control information required at run time in the form of constants and object references.
To inform the WF which object was created in the step via the method the reference to the bus object is passed via the binding definition from the task container to the Wf container. An appropriate element was therefore created automatically in the WF container with the correct data type.
The workflow container contains an element which is defined with a data type reference to the same object type that is created in the referenced task, this binding definition is proposed automatically when an activity is defined.
If no element with an appropriate data type reference is available in the workflow container, a suitable element is added to the workflow container and the binding entered.
For more info pz go through the link given below,u will get the useful info regarding creation of container element and much more .

Step Container Element not getting updated

Hi,
I have created a step container element for handling comments with the same ABAP dictinary structure & import export parameter of a existing workflow conatiner element & binded with the WF container & step conatiner & i have the saved & activated the WF template sucessfully.but when action is being taken from portal on a Workitem then comments are being passed to the WF container but the step container that i created is not getting updated . i checked in SWI6 , it's showing not set.
can any help me on this regard.?
Thanks & Regards
Rohan Kumar Das

Actually, I believe the problem is related to binding.
When called in the foreground, object references (and data references) are present in memory for all subsequent processing.
You probably need to make the CONTAINER "Persistent".
In your code, call the macro SWC_CONTAINER_TO_PERSISTENT <container name here>. For example:
SWC_CONTAINER local_container.
SWC_CREATE_CONTAINER local_container.
" Set you Container elements
" SWC_SET_ELEMENT local_container 'Element01' lv_element01.
" SWC_SET_TABLE local_container 'Element02' lt_table02.
SWC_CONTAINER_TO_PERSISTENT local_container.
" Start your workflow passing local_container.
Something like this...
Hope this is relevent . . . Apologies if not . . .

Press Esc for UEFI Firmware Settings
First I was able to get into the option 11 and run the whole factory reset, i was so happy because I tought it will be easy.. but then after I did the factory reset.. I keep getting this blue screen. if I press ESC I get into this next screen:
F1 System Information
F2 System Diagnostics
F9 Boot Device Options
F10 BIOS Setup
F11 System Recovery
ENTER - Continue Startup.
this is what happen when I click any of this options:
F1 I get into the System Information with no problems, then I click <ESC> to continue and get back to the last screen... then I press F2 and super, I am able to run Memory Test and Hard Drive Check 100% with no problems in any of those, after I am done with my teste I press exit and I am back to the F1,F2, ETC menu... now I want to try F9, F10 or F11. bummer.. in this 3 options I get back to the blue screen described at the beggining of this post. (I already connect a USB with an boot loader, which works perfectly)
so I can't do anything, nothing at all!! crazzines.
So what I did to check why I can't get into the BIOS or at least to boot from my USB... I removed the botton cover of my laptop and removed the hard drive and that's how then I was or I am able to Log into the BIOS, - I did the changes to boot first from the USB and then from the HD and this is how I was able to boot from the USB - BUT If I connect back the Hard drive, I am not able to get into the BIOS or boot from the USB - so basically I am stuck in this blue screen and I can't boot from a USB if I have the HD connected.. I can't use any option.. no BIOS, nothing.. only if again, i disconnect the HD.
This is an:
HP ENVY TS Sleekbook 4
PRODUCT NUMBER D1A99UA#ABA
SYSTEM BOARD ID: 1894
Bios F.25
**** I though that by updating the BIOS I may be able to get help, nothing. What I did is, I removed the HD and then and boot from the USB and with a DOS command propmt I excecuted the Bios Update from F.21 to f.25... but again, when I installed the hard drive back, BUMMER, nothing I can't do nothing but this silly blue screen.
Any idea of what should I do?
Thanks in advance.
This question was solved.

If you can't access BIOS with the hard disk connected, you certainly won't be able to boot to the usb recovery flashdrive. That is indicative of a failed hard disk.
Install a new hard disk and then boot to the recovery flashdrive.

BPM: How to return the total number of lines in Multiline Container Element

Hi all:
I am trying to follow the following blog to do message splitting:
/people/narendra.jain/blog/2005/12/30/various-multi-mappings-and-optimizing-their-implementation-in-integration-processes-bpm-in-xi
In the blog, total number of messages for Message1 was returned to Count in Message 2.
If I do not want to create message 2, if there any way to return total number lines in multiline elements ? Because this number need to be used to specify in loop condition:
While Indxe != TotalNumberOfLines
Thanks
Liang

Hi, Matias:
For the loop block option, your answer is passing message count in different message type is best option !
I really do not know why SAP does not deliver a build-in function to return the number of items in multiline element at run time ?
Now the question for the second option: ForEach block:
When I leave current line of block properties empty, the compile does not pass
I have to input a another element (Var_Cur) in current line
Inside my block, I have one send step, it will send Var_Dest[Index], followed by a container operation step to increment Index by 1.
With above setup, I compile it, compile passed, but it says:
"Container Element Var_Cur in Step Block1 is initialized but not used"
then I added another containter operation step in block:
Var_Cur = Var_Dest[Index]
I modified send step to send Var_Cur rather than Var_Dest.
Up to now, I can compile it without any warnings.
But when I send message to IE, the message pass pipe line, but it seems does not pass the BPE.
When I go to SXI_CACHE, to check the return code for my Integration process is 0, means no error.
But my message does not reach my target system.
Where do you think I made wrong ?
Thanks
Liang

XML DB: is it possible to get a row for each element in a container element?

I have an XML document containing a container element (collection). If I query, using an XPath expression, the contained elements I get a row for each container element with the contained element concatenated. Is it possible to get a row for each contained element?
I run this simple query:
select extract(xmltype('<colors><color>Red</color><color>Green</color></colors>')
, '/colors/color/text()').getstringval() from dual
And get this result:
EXTRACT(XMLTYPE('<COLORS><COLOR>RED</COLOR><COLOR>GREEN</COLOR></COLORS>'),'/COL
RedGreen
1 row selected.
What I would like to have is:
Red
Green
2 rows selected.
Wishful thinking or possible? Many thanks!

Sure. This is where our XMLSequence() function comes in. It allows you to treat the top-level nodes in a nodeset as if they were rows in a table when combined with the TABLE() operator. Here's an example.
First, to make the SQL look a little cleaner, I like to define a function like this:
create or replace function testdoc return xmltype as
begin
return xmltype('<colors><color>Red</color><color>Green</color></colors>');
end;.
To break out the nodeset of <color> elements as a table, we use the following query:
select value(list_of_color_elements).extract('*/text()').getStringVal() as color
from TABLE( XMLSequence( extract(testdoc(),'/colors/color'))) list_of_color_elements.
Or, using the new-in-9.2 extractValue() operator so we don't have to remember the text() part:
select extractValue( value(list_of_color_elements), '.') as color
from TABLE( XMLSequence( extract( testdoc() ,'/colors/color'))) list_of_color_elements.
Here the TABLE(XMLSequence(...)) combo produces a table of XMLType, with one XMLType object in each row of the table.
In general, if the XMLType instance were coming from an XMLType table xmltab the query would look like this:
select extractValue( value(colors), '.') as color
from xmltab x, /* Important that this table comes earlier in the FROM clause! */
TABLE( XMLSequence( extract( value(x),'/colors/color'))) colors.
And if the XMLType were instead in a column of XMLType named doc in a table xmltab, then we would have the syntax:
select extractValue( value(colors), '.') as color
from xmltab x, /* Important that this table comes earlier in the FROM clause! */
TABLE( XMLSequence( extract( x.doc ,'/colors/color'))) colorsOnce you get the hang of it, you'll see that the combination of TABLE(XMLSequence()) to "shred" XML nodes into rows, and XMLAgg() to aggregate fragments of XML across multiple rows back into a single document, is quite powerful.

The iPhone is not a backup device.
Restore the iTunes library from the backup that should be kept of your media and other important files.
Syncing the iPhone to a new library (in this case, it will be a new library unless you have a complete backup of the iTunes folder pre-crash) will result in the media on the device being removed and replaced with content from the new library.
As for iOS5, we really do not know until Apple officially releases it.
