Hi Akshay,
It seems you have uploaded some wrong file .
I would suggest you to delete those entries from table.
please check for the duplicate entry in u r workflow type under miscellaneous tab in CUP.
for example if you find duplicate entry for work flow type RE that is ERM ,   And the Work flow type ERM gives you error while saving request type .then please look for the table VIRSA_AE_WFTYPE   in file AE_init_append_data_RE.xml   and follow the below mentioned steps:
1. log in to SQL with SYSDBA access delete the duplicate entry.
2.use below command to find the
SQL> select * from SAPSR3DB.VIRSA_AE_WFTYPE where NAME='ERM'
3. delete this Row form the table.
4. restart AS java
After deleting this duplicate entry your issue should get resolved.
please let em know if your issue is resolved

SharePoint Designer 2013 -- Workflow Manager is required to create Workflow

Hi,
Is workflow manager is required to create workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013 for List Workflow. Is there any other alternative for this.
With Regards,
Jaskaran Singh Bhatti

SharePoint 2013 supports both 2010 legacy type workflows that run in the OWS timer service on the SharePoint server and 2013 workflows that run on a server running Workflow Manager. You can still create the same kind of workflows you created in SharePoint
2010 without Workflow Manager. That would include 2010 List Workflows. You only need Workflow Manager if you want to create the newer kind of workflows that use Workflow Manager. All the built-in workflows still use the 2010 legacy workflow
system. Both types of workflows can be created using SharePoint Designer 2013.

How we create workflow using sharepoint designer for first review the documnet than go for approve the document.

Hi to all
I have team site in site collection under this i have Shared Document library. Now i want to create the workflow for the shared Document library. How i will create workflow using sharepoint designer for first review the documnet than go for approve
the document.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a workflow which contains review and approval process.
For implemening your requirement, you can create a workflow containing two steps. The first step is used to collect user information and set workflow variables, and the second step is used to verify whether the reviewer approve. If the reviewers complete
approving, a pproval workflow is started. The whole workflow is like :

To create workflow process which periodically examines one database table??

hi.......
plz tell me the complete details that how to create workflow process which periodically examines one database table??
also it will send email to specific address if certain condition is not fulfilled??
help is really appreciated
thanks nd regards
manish singla

Hi,
I'd be wary of using a WAIT activity, since this will essentially have the workflow running forever in the same SQL session. If you ever need to shutdown the database, then you would have to kill the session (or do a shutdown abort), which will rollback all the Workflow transactional data.
I would leave the polling logic to a process outside the Workflow engine. In an Applications environment, this should be a Concurrent request. If this is standalone Workflow, then schedule something using DBMS_JOB. The job should check the database, and if necessary, initiate a new workflow to send the notification.
If the notification does not require a response, then I would be inclined to bypass Workflow competely, and have a job which calls UTL_SMTP to send an email.

Unable to Create Workflows with either SharePoint Designer 2010 or 2013 to our SharePoint Online Service

Hey there
I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on our current issue using SharePoint Online (hope this question is in the correct place)
We are using SharePoint Online and I believe we are using the SharePoint Plan 1 for EDU - which I believe is the A2 Free plan.
I have being trying to get my head around the new changes (as we currently run a standalone 2010 deployment) and decided to see what workflow options I had. I had read to use SharePoint Designer 2013 with the online service and after installation opened
the package, connected to the site and tried to create a simple email workflow. I first saw a loading screen stating
"The list of workflow actions on the server references an assembly that does not exist. Some actions will not be available. The assembly strong name is Microsoft.Activities, Version 1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=731bf3856ad364e35.
Contact your server administrator for more information."
after this it tried loading some metadata and then I saw:
Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.
I close SPD down and rebooted and then same happened again and continues too.
After research I applied a hotfix that was known to resolve the issue, but it still remains. I also tried running SPD in admin mode but the same still happens.
Lastly I tried selecting workflows 2010 from the drop down field when creating the workflow to see what happened. I go the same. I also keep getting the following as a pop from time to time.
The list of workflow actions on the server references an assembly that does not exist. Some actions will not be available. The assembly strong name is Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c.
Contact your server administrator for more information.
I have also tried to do the same in SharePoint Designer 2010, but receive the same massages.
What should I be looking at or doing to help rectify this?
Regards

2.Delete the files in all folders in this directory:
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache\ (don’t delete the folders, just delete the contents of the folders)
Then, try to create a new workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013 to see if it works.
You can first keep the list for the current status, and save it as a template which will be used to create another list.
1.Login and locate the associated list on your SharePoint Online.
2.Click List Settings under List tab, and click Save list as template.
3.Type a File name, Template name, select Include Content, and click OK. Click OK.
4.Click Site Actions->More Options->List.
5.Locate and click the newly saved template, type a name, and click Create.
Then, create a workflow in your SharePoint Designer 2010 associated to the new list to see if it works.
Moreover, please check if there are any maintenances on your SharePoint Online which may cause the issue.
1.Login to Office 365 Portal (https://portal.microsoftonline.com/).
2.Click Service Health in the left pane of Admin page.
3.Check the status of SharePoint Online

Create workflow to release Down Payment Request (F-47) before automatic Pyment

Hi Experts,

But down payment request is created as noted item, so that, it isn't go to workflow when create. Please give me advice how i can manage Down Payment Request. Ex: we want block down payment request when being create and have release function to permit down payment by F110.

Hi,
Using T-code F-47 - Down payment request against raise to possible as follows.
a) Purchase Order Document
b) Production Order
c)PM Order
d)Service Order

Down payment request is not possible against to raise StockTtransfer Order(STO) and display error message.
So, you have to choose the above list only.

PO Create Workflow

Hello,
i have created release statargy for PO and in that assigned all role for release of PO. Now i have to send a mail in approver SAP mailbox for approve or Reject PO i m not finding out any workflow that can help me or no event is there named "CREATE" in BUS2012 . please help me solve that problem ....
What is the mean of event "RELEASESTEPCREATED".................. is PO created ? or something else
Thanks

Hi,
SAP has a standard workflow WS20000075 for PO. Just go to SWDD and activate the event linkage. Based on the PO release startgey the number of level it has it will trigger the workflow step by step for each release. For example release startegy has code 01 and 02. First for code 01 this workflow will get triggered and once the first level approver approves it it will automaticlly trigger the workflow for level 02 using event 'RELEASESTEPCREATED'. This event is triggered for each release level. You would have to modify the agent determination criteria if you dont want to use SAP standard rule.
We have implemented PO workflow in our past projects. Please let us know in case you need any more inputs.
Thanks

Email review creates workflows file size that makes Acrobat 9 unbearably slow.

I have been using the email review features in Acrobat pro version 9.3.1. All was going fine until, apparently, my workflows file got to around 1.5mb. If I understand correctly this is the file that Review Tracker uses to track PDF emailed for review.
The problem is Acrobat becomes unbearably slow to open and operate.
I narrowed down the reason by opening Acrobat with no plugins loaded and it operated fine. Then by enabling and disabling various plugins I found that when any plug-in having something to do with the commenting and tracking process was enabled acrobat again became unbearably slow. Through searching on this forum I found the workflows file that is created for tracking email reviews. I discovered with all plug-ins enabled and with the workflow file removed acrobat operated fine when I put the file back it again opens and operates unbearably slow.
So I know how to make Acrobat operate correctly by removing the Workflows file. Acrobat will create a new one if I start another review. The big problem is I have lost all my tracking on previous reviews.
I was wondering if anyone else might have had a similar problem when the Workflows file became larger than 1.5mb or so?
Does anyone know of a way I can keep my previous email reviews and still have acrobat operate correctly?
I also wonder if this will happen again?
Thank you for your time and knowledge.

Flattening should be expected to make files bigger, much bigger in the worst case. It is rarely a way to reduce size, though sometimes it will be - it all depends on what is in the file.
An example where it could reduce size is where a series of images are overlayed transparently. This would end up being a single one. There may be cases where lots of layers get consolidated into something simpler, but if the layers were vector and the result is raster it won't.
So, flattening might be a useful tool, but it's best to try it and test the result.
Better still to stop the proprietary software from choking... !

I think you should create your own Business Object or you can refer to Business Object EMPSALPACK.
Now Company Code should be an Attribute that you should do the Coding For.
Use this attribute in the Condition Step of Workflow Template.
Workflow Container will contain the Business Object that you will be creating. The Business object should have Key Field Pernr and may be anything relevant that you will do for Coding. I think you might have to trigger the Event of the Business Object through code.
Check the Code below.
