Copy workflow from 5.0 to 6.0

Hi,
My client is having two different systems ECC 5.0 and 6.0. Now workflow needs to be copied from 5.0 to 6.0. Please suggest what is the best way to do this task.
I have tried with export and import to XML. It didn't work. I am missing many components while importing.
My workflow is having many sub workflows as well as forms. Is there any way to capture in a transport all tasks and forms used in a workflow.
if i capture all tasks, rules, forms in a transport request, how it will behave in case importing to other system. now 5.0 and 6.0 are having different number ranges for workflow tasks and rules
Regards, Sri

Hi Arghadip,
Thanks for your inputs.
Still I have not convinced with your answer, i need some more clarification on my requirements.
ECC 5.0 is having 936 number range and ECC 6.0 is defined as number series 903.
when i import transport request to 6.0, what will be my workflow number 903(Source) or 936(Target). if it is 903, how target system accepts this number which is not defined in SWU3.
Regards, Sri

How to copy WorkFlow from one system to anorther system

Hi All,
I have to Copy the Work Flow from One system to another system. So how to download and upload workflow from SAP. Please help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Ananth

Hi Ananth,
Yes it is. From the workflow builder menu, choose Workflow > Import/Export and export to an XML file.
You can also import from an XML file into a different system in which case the builder will create a new
workflow in a 'New, Not Saved' status. Then when you save it, it will assign the unique IDs for the workflow and each task.
You might also consider getting the program logic for any custom business objects. You can do this by going to the basic data of the business object and doubleclick the program name. From here, you can choose download from the utilities menu to get the program which includes the custom methods, attributes, etc.

Workflow to copy file from SharePoint app web to host web?

Hi All,
About SharePoint-hosted Apps and Visual Stuidio 2012 workflows:
I'd like to copy files from a document library which is in my app web to a doc lib in my host web. This, using a Visual Studio 2012 workflow.
Could you please provide some pointers about how to perform this? I couldn't find much on the web about this right now.
Much appreciated

see http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=4&thread=206423

Workflow does not start on a event: document copied in from another library's workflow.

I'm using SharePoint Online for Office 365.
I have a workflow that initiates as soon as a new item is added to a folder. That workflow gets approval from a group of people. Then copies the document to a new folder and deletes the original.
I have another workflow set to initiate as soon as a new document is created or changed that gets approval from a second set of users and moves the document again.
Problem: Both workflows work great on their own. The problem i'm having is the second workflow doesn't initiate when the document is moved. There's apparently no way to trigger a workflow from within a workflow. Is there a way to edit the data in the current
item after it's moved to trigger the second workflow?
Also, I tried to nest the second workflow within the first but it didn't link the document to the second workflow.
Any help is appreciated.

From what I'm told, this is purposeful. It's to protect the user from firing a million workflows on accident. I believe you can run an impersonation step (requires 2010 workflow) on the document moving part and it will then successfully fire.

Copying photos from one computer to another, with descriptions

After editing photo descriptions and locations in iPhoto, it is desireable to be able to copy them to iPhoto on another computer, with the associated photo descriptions and locations. In principle, this is possible by selecting all desired photos, then selecting File -> Export... In the Export dialog box, in the "File Export" tab, select "Include: Titles and keywords", and "Include: Location information". Copy the exported files to the other computer, and do a File -> Import to Library ...
In practice, this works fine with images taken by some cameras, and not with images from others. In my limited experience with a Fuji F80EXR and a Canon SX230HS, the above work flow works with the Fuji. But, with the Canon, while the exported files clearly have the description data embedded in them (as seen by GraphicConverter), it is not imported into iPhoto, nor is it visible in Preview's Inspector. The workaround I use is to run an exiftool command on the exported files.
Exiftool is a command line utility that can read and write meta data in image files:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
I run the following command on the exported files to rewrite the IPTC Caption:
exiftool −overwrite_original_in_place -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg -"IPTC:Caption-Abstract>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.jpg
Note that the above command overwrites the files that were exported from iPhoto. If you wish to leave the original files intact, with an "_original" appended to the file name, run:
exiftool -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg -"IPTC:Caption-Abstract>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.jpg
I'm not sure why it is necessary to copy and rewrite that data. Perhaps there is something strange in the format of the meta data in the file as it comes from the camera, and the iPhoto export does not correct this strangeness. Copying and rewriting the data by exiftool seems to put things right.
The above works for me, but is somewhat unwieldy. Is there a better way to copy photos from one computer to another, if iPhoto refuses to import the description data that it was written to the exported files?

Thanks for the pointer. I did a test with 10 images, and confirmed the iPLM works, even with the problematic images from my Canon SX230HS.
The workflow is to use iPLM to create a new Library on the computer that has the photos you want to copy. Copy the photos to the new Library. Copy the new Library to the second computer using a method of your choice (file sharing, USB flash drive, etc). Copy the photos from the new Library to the existing iPhoto Library.
iPLM costs $20, whereas my original solution was free (but you need to invest the time to get exiftool installed and working). But, unlike exiftools, iPLM also copies over the Faces information, so it is likely a worthwhile investment if you use that feature.

Everytime I copy pages from one ID CS3 doc to another, it re-applies the master page objects!!

Please Help,
This is a topic I would really like to get to the bottom of.
We have InDesign CS3 templates for creating our reports.
These templates contain around 10 different master pages with grey placeholder image boxes and text boxes with dummy text.
When we copy pages from one ID document to another, all the master page objects that were originally assigned to the pages are re-applied!!
Resulting in lots of grey dummy boxes and text boxes re-appearing on top of the page items!!
It's so annoying because we always customise the pages once we've pulled down master pages to work on, so when we copy pages across to other documents we have to apply the blank master to be able to kick out all the master objects easily. Then we need to add the page numbers and footers back onto the blank master page.
My question is, is there a way to switch this off, so when I move or copy pages from one document to another, nothing happens relating to master page objects, the pages simply just copy across as they are?
Please help! If not I may have to ask an external developer to write a script to fix this, it drives 900 of us crazy!
thanks in advance for any help.
Or am I just being ridiculous and not actually realising you can switch this off, doh!

Just a bit of further clarification on this issue (very few people really understand what's going on with master pages and overridden master page items):
When you override a master page item, the object is moved to a local page, but a connection is maintained with the original master page item. This a) allows for the override to be removed (and return the object to its original state). This also, b) allows for changes made to the original master page item (other than the changes made to the local item from the point that it was overridden) to effect the local item as well.
When the connection to the master page item cannot be maintained, the local item gets disconnected totally from the master page, and becomes a regular, run-of-the-mill page item.
In light of this, there's three ways you can end up with duplicate master items:
Reapplying a master page (or applying a new one). When you reapply a master, all overridden master page items get detached from the master, and the original mster page item appears again in its original state. Most of the time this produces unwanted duplication of objects. To fix up your page, you have two options: a) Delete the master page item, and b) copying the contents of the original to the new master page item. The disadvantage of "a" is that you end up with an item which is totally detached from the master, and changing the item on the master will have no effect on the local item. The disadavantage of "b" is that it's a lot of work...
Moving a page to a different document. When you move a page to a different document which has the same master as the one originally applied, the master in the new doc is applied, and the effects are identical to reapplying a master page (i.e. overridden objects are detached). If the applied master (i.e. a master with the same name) does not exist in the new doc, the master is transferred over to the new doc along with the page, and the connections to the master page are preserved (well, re-created actually...). The workarounds in case #1 apply here as well.
When page sides change in a document, the objects on the facing page appears.
What happens here is a bit confusing, but here's an approximate explanation:
When you apply a master to a page or spread in InDesign, what you are actually doing is applying an entire spread to an individual page. You can thing of a master spread as an overlay (or more precisely: underlay) on the page with a window cut out to the exact page dimensions.
When the page side changes that "window cut-out" shifts to show the master spread items which correspond to the position within the spread of your current page (i.e. recto or verso). All objects which exist outside the window shift out of view (but still exist!).
When an object is overridden, the position of the object is defined by its location on the local page, NOT its position on the master spread. When the page then changes sides, the object remains where it was on the page (even though the object it's connected to on the master spread moves out of the window of view). A corresponding object on the facing page of the master (if it exists) will then show in addition to the overridden one.
Now remember: contrary to the first two cases, both objects are based on master ones: one visible one and one invisible one.
Dealing with this third case requires much more care than the first two.
The obvious way to deal with this would be similar to the first two, but if you remove the local object and transfer the content to the new maste object, the invisible master object on the non-visible page was actually removed, so when the page sides change again, the object will now be connected to the now-invisible master page item, and the correct master page item will be gone!
The "correct" way to deal with this would be to transfer the content to the new master page item and remove overrides (not delete!) on the local item (which will make it disappear, because it moves back to the invisible page). Of course, when page sides change again, it becomes necessary to repeat the entire process.
If the local object gets deleted, then your master spread is missing objects with no visible indicator of the fact. This can lead to confusion when the document might be edited at some later point in time.
I believe that this complicated and un-intuitive behavior of master pages is part of the reason people tend to avoid using master page items. Documents tend to get messed up in really odd ways... It's a real shame, because extensive use of master page items has a lot of potential for streamlining workflows and saving an awful lot of time. This behavior really puts a damper on really using master pages as templates.
Getting master page items to work the way they "should" was a big part of what I was trying to accomplish with AutoFlow Pro... When the master page items are defined as such (i.e. given a unique name), AutoFlow Pro solves all three of the above issues by keeping overridden master page items connected to the master page items on the currently applied master (and when a new master is applied as well!).
(When I have a bit of spare time, I think I'll write this up on my blog with some visuals to make this easier to grasp...)

How to copy keywords from one image to many in Bridge CS6 (workaround)

I see a few questions about how to do this, but I didn't see this workaround (maybe it's even the workflow Adobe had in mind). Hope it helps others searching for this.
To copy keywords from one photo, and then apply the same keywords to many, in Bridge CS6:
Select one image that has the keywords you want to copy.
Right-click and choose File Info...
On the IPTC tab, scroll down to find the Keywords field. Select and copy the keywords you want (probably all).
Click Cancel to exit without making accidental changes.
Select the files you want to add the keywords to.
Right-click and choose File Info...
On the IPTC tab, scroll down to find the Keywords field.
Click in it and paste your copied keywords.
Click OK. Keywords are applied to all files. (NOTE: I think this replaces keywords, rather than adding to them).
I'm using CS6 on OS X 10.6.8.

Sara,
Why wouldn't you just use a Windows .bat file with xcopy statements? You could even schedule it to run with the Windows task scheduler.

Delete workflow from repository

Hi, Actually i renamed some worflow and its child as well and want to move from dev repository to production repository.but if I move these it will create new copy of workflow with renamed name.So now I want to delete the old copy of work flow from the repository which is of no use. But as the old copy of workflow contains Some reusable cmd task. Which are being used in some other work flow.Let me know if I delete old copy of workflow from repository will I loss those reusable cmd task as well? Also let me know from where I should delete workflow in this case from repository manger or from workflow manager Plz help in this.

Hi All, I have a scenario to implement.Need urgent help. I have relational source which has below fields. ID,Account,AccountType,Balance1,1001,GL,46567.901,1002,SL,56889.971,1003,Equity,45543.9081,1004,GL,89.541,1005,SL,-56889.971,1006,Equity,-45543.9081,1007,SL,-42777.45 Here my first requiremnt is to check if the balance value for entire file is 0 and if balance amount for each AccoutType is 0 , if both condtionn satifies the flow will go , else load will fail. I tried in below approach. SQ >> Expression >> Aggregator In aggregaor i have first calculated sum(balance) for entire file by group by on ID column in an aggregator , and keep actual data in expression transformation. Then i took an expression to connect actual data with the sum(balance) , since i need to perform further calculation.I tried connecting expression and aggregator , but it is not allowing me to connect the posrts. And if i am using a joiner , then wrong data is loading to target. It is joining each result of aggregator with actual ports in expression. I am not sure how to handle this scenario, so that we can just calculate sum of entire file and sum on basis of account type , is both sum are 0 then load the target , else fail.

Moving instead of copying files from my camera

When I use Lightroom to move photos from my camera to my computer, I want it to automatically delete the copied files from my camera. How do I do this?

MIDI Panic wrote:
It would be nice if the Lightroom developers would allow us to turn “ON” the ‘Move’ function for flash media in Preferences (maybe even with a pop-up warning that mistakes could result in lost files). That way Lightroom could be customized for more efficient workflows, less complexity for us consumers who are not so worried about the occasional lost import.
Good to hear! Two additional points against using 'Move' that no one has mentioned, and a few more tips:
1) When using 'Move' to transfer your images from memory card to hard drive you lose the ability to perform even the simplest integrity check for file count and size. I always use Windows Explorer to compare the actual HDD file count and and folder size to that of the memory card contents. It only takes a few seconds!
2) Letting LR delete individual image files puts additional stress on the memory card and takes additional time. Doing an 'in-camera' card format takes the least time, writes to the least number of memory locations (i.e. least stress), AND insures integrity and compatibility of card's the file allocation table.
3) Don't forget to make a 2nd 'Copy' of your image files to a backup drive.
May your image files 'Live Long & Prosper!'

Copy workflow issue - Only works first time

Hello
I created a simple "copy" workflow with SPD: it should automatically copy to another library any new files that match a condition , as they are uploaded.
If Current Item:Doc Type equals JobReport
Copy item in Current Item to Job Reports
Stop the workflow and log File copied
It works with the first file, then it quit working, even if disaply "Completed" in the workflow outcome field.
Source Library is DocSet enabled, while destination library is not.
Any idea? Thnks

After a couple of days of "try this, try that" I've concluded that the problem was caused by the <jsp:include>. As I'm learning, one must be careful when mixing JSF and ADF components, as well as how components are nested within containers.
I was hoping there would be a way to visually develop a page fragment in one file, and then include it in another file. But I could not find a way to do this.
What I'm doing for now is:
1. Create a jspx file for my sub-page (so I can develop it graphically).
2. Create a jspf fragement file, and include that in my main page using <jsp.directive.include>.
3. copy/paste from the jspx file to the jspf file to test (but only copy the portion between the <af:form> block.
Seems to work. I'm open to better suggestions.

Workflow from form

Now as per forums I have created the workflow 'Test Workflow' with these 2 activities as below -

Not sure what am I missing or how to configure this ?

Hello Ketan,
thanks again so much for your response.
I wasn't sure if you preferred that I reply you on the Forum, or via email, since you wrote down your email address.
In response to your question..........I am not really sure how the Form is mapped. I customized the Form basically for one thing only : to CREATE USER.
What I did was : I copied the original IDM "Create User" form, modified it the way I wanted it, and imported it back into the Repository.
So, now, I have a fully-functional, customized form, for creating Users.
This form contains the original "Buttons" at the end : SAVE, CANCEL, TEST, etc.
I have no idea if it should be mapped anywhere. And, if it should, I don't know how to do this.
When the Form is completed, and I press SAVE, everything happens at it should. The Form is saved, the new User is created.
However, I want other things to happen, too. This is why I am so stuck on creating Workflows.
Let me give you an example :
For instance, the following simple script is part of my User Form (selection from a dropdown menu) :
<Field name='orderlunch'>
<Display class='Select' action='true'>
<Property name='title' value='Order Lunch'/>
<Property name='allowedValues'>
<List>
<String>- Please Select -</String>
<String>Yes</String>
<String>No</String>
</List>
</Property>
</Display>
</Field>
A small XML code, to indicate an order for lunch.
Naturally, if the user selects "No", then nothing happens.
But, if he selects "Yes", then I would like the Form to send an Email Notification to the appropriate person, notifying him that lunch has been ordered. (of course, I would need to indicate such things as WHO ordered the lunch, WHEN, etc, etc. But, I will get into that later)
In other words, if I choose "YES" for that particular variable, and then I press SAVE, to save and submit the form, then I want the Workflow to send an email notification.
I am guessing that, the code in the Workflow will be something like the following (Please, correct me if I am wrong)
*<eq>*
*<ref>orderlunch</ref>*
*<s>YES<s>*
*</eq>*
----- Create a new activity ----
*<Action id='0' application='com.waveset.provision.WorkflowServices'>*
*<Argument name='op' value='notify'/>*
*<Argument name='template' value='Name of Email Template'/>*
*<Argument name='toAddress' value='toaddress'/>*
*<Argument name='smtpHost'>*
*<ref>SMTPhost</ref>*
*</Argument>*
*<Argument name='from'>*
*<ref>from address</ref>*
*</Argument>*
*</Action>*
Is this correct?
Please, help me out here.
Thanks again

Workflow from F-28 on save

How can I start a workflow from transaction F-28 after save? I have checked change documents, and don't find anything. I have run the event trace and nothing there either. Lastly I can't find any obvious user-exits.
Am I missing something, or is there another way to do this?

U need to go to SPRO-> Financial accounting-> Global setting -> BTE
Then enviorment -> Info system.
u would need to locate a BTE at that point and then register the copy the BTE into ur own FM - u need to copy the interface of the BTE.
The u need to come back on the BTE screen and register the BTE in settings P/S function modules.. now depending on partner or customer add it.
put a break point in ur Fm and save document u should it should stop there
I think SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00002218 should be the one u need.
Hope this helps..

Execute Automator Workflow from AppleScript

I have a need to execute an Automator workflow from an AppleScript.
In 10.4, this would work:
set myWorkflow to "path:to:workflow"
tell application "Automator Launcher" to open myWorkflow
In 10.5, it does not. Is there an alternative way to do this in 10.5?

Hi Dan!
Copy the (Tiger) Automator Launcher.app 1.0.4 (*) somewhere to your 10.5 system and modify your AppleScript like this:
tell app "path:to:Automator Launcher.app(1.0.4):"
open "path:to:automator workflow:"

How can i copy apps from one computer to another?

how can i copy apps from one computer to another?

You don't mention which operating system you have so it's difficult to provide an answer since the mac and Windows stores the files differently.
The other thing you can do is just re-download the apps from the iTunes Store. Just login to the iTunes Store on the other computer using the same Apple ID. On the right-hand side of the iTunes Store page you will see a 'Purchased' link. Clicking on that will take you to a page that will list your past purchases which you can re-download to the new computer.
