Hi,
I have run into the same problem with SOA 11.1.1.5 version. In my case after fixing the following two errors it seems to work fine.
If you have followed the guide, there must be some errors:
First the java code if copied then contains an extra enter value:
Instead of:
"try {
System.out.println("Prototype for invoking an OIM API from a SOA Composite");
System.out.println("RTM Usecase: Self Registration Approval by Organization
Administrator");"
Use the following:
"try {
System.out.println("Prototype for invoking an OIM API from a SOA Composite");
System.out.println("RTM Usecase: Self Registration Approval by Organization Administrator");"
The other error is that you should not use <BEAHOME>/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jps_11.1.1/jps-manifest.jar, but the <BEAHOME>/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jps_11.1.1/jps-api.jar in jdeveloper. After these the deployment to the application server works fine for me.

you are inserting a value too large for REQUEST_APPROVALS.APPROVAL_STATUS column. It should contain values like COMPLETED, approved, rejected etc... Check your custom approval process again.

Error compiling the BPEL classes while configuring custom approval process

Hi,
I get the below error, but unable to fix this. Any one who did face this issue please share your thoughts to overcome this.
Error(45,34): Failed to compile bpel generated classes.
failure to compile the generated BPEL classes for BPEL process "ApprovalProcess" of composite "default/SelfRegistrationApproval!1.0"
The class path setting is incorrect.
Ensure that the class path is set correctly. If this happens on the server side, verify that the custom classes or jars which this BPEL process is depending on are deployed correctly. Also verify that the run time is using the same release/version.
Thanks,
Bhaskar

You need to keep all the custom jars at three places :
1) Soa ext , and make sao extension jar by running ant
2) Bpel classpath
3) in your project as an external referrence

Approval process workflow for Customer XBO

Hi experts,
We have a client requirement which asks for multilevel approval process for Accounts (when a new Account is created/ existing Account is changed). As per my knowledge, there is no standard approval process defined for Customer XBO as of now by SAP.
Also, if the Account creation/modification is 'Rejected' by any manager, then how will the Account be reverted back to its original version? (kind of a rollback)
I had raised an incident for this asking the SAP team whether they will be adding any approval processes for Customer BO in the near future C4C releases. But they do not have any plans of implementing it sooner.
They suggested a workaround as follows:
Add 1 extension field "approval status code" in Account with code values:
1 - To be approved by L1 manager
2 - Approved by L1
3 - Approved by L2......etc for more levels of approval
Reverting 'Rejected' Account to previous state is not possible via PDI. In principle you would have to read the changehistory data and revert to the state before the change was done. But the changehistory BO is/will not be PSM released.
Any workaround or suggestions on how can I go about implementing this requirement? I need to put validations like L2 can approve only after L1 approval.
Please guide and help.
Thanks,
Ambuja Prabhudessai
Persistent Systems Ltd.

Hi,
why don't you create a screen from which user will create or modify the accounts. after submitting the custom screen , you should start the approval process, once all the approval is done, create or modify the account in SAP.

Approved invoices can not be edited - Approval process

Hi Experts -
I have recently raised an incident with SAP about Approval process - the complete message and support reply is as follows - but i believe we need a change in the approval process - if the approval required is only one but you have defined two people (Either or OR) in the approver list - the system should allow the document to be edited if one of the approvers reject it.
please let me know and i believe we need a change in design - unless otherwise a solid reason is given to justify the existing design
10.07.2009 10:32 Description (English) by SRS Manian
     We have created approval procedure for all the invoices which are entered into the system., The
'Accts' user enters the invoice into the system - the invoice comes for approval to 'Manager' user.
When the Manager opens the invoice via Alert window - he/she wants to modify certain information
(lines as well as Sales person) and approve it.
The invoice which gets opened from the alert window - does not allow the user 'Manager' to modify at
all. All the information on the invoice are greyed out.
The system should allow the user 'Manager' to modify the information. Since the manager has full
authorization to the system.

     Dear Manian,
Thank you for contacting us.
When the originator sends the document for manager's approval, note that the at that stage, the document is still in the 'Approval Process'. This is because the system is waiting for the 'Manager' to 'Approve or Reject' the document. Hence, looking at the Document, it is still in 'Draft - Pending' Status.
When the document is in 'Draft-Pending' Status, the document is not available for editing, because the system considers that it is still in the waiting process. In your case, the manager cannot edit t he document.
To amend the document, an action is required from the approver either to reject it first. Once rejected, it can be amended and re-sent for approval.
I have checked our knowledge base and noted that there is an article which describes the approval process. Please refer to the Expert on Phone Wiki Article (March 2009) with title: Why a draft documen t in an approval process cannot be modified by the originator?
The link will provide the explanation:

     Thanks for the reply. The scenario is when the Manager receives the
document for approval, he wanted to edit and add it. Your reply (and
documentations) states that it needs to be rejected first before it is
available for editing. When it is gets rejected - the person who
orignated the document gets an alert and he can edit it. Here the
Manager must get an alert so that he can edit the Rejected document.
When the 'manager' rejects the document, and goes back to the alert
window to open the document - it is still greyed out !!
How does the 'manager' reject the document and edits it ?

     Dear Manian,
If after the Manager rejects it and still the document is not editable (greyed out), it means that the document may still be in the 'Approval Process'. When it is greyed out, what is the status of the document in the header? Does it say 'Rejected' or 'Pending'?
If it is still in 'Pending' mode, please verify the number of 'Approvers' set in the 'Stages' tab of the 'Approval Template - Setup' window. If there is more than one user listed as 'Approver', and o nly 1 approval is required, the system provides an opportunity to other 'Approvers' to approve or reject the document. If in your case, the number of approvers is 2, and manager 'rejected' it, the sys tem still keeps the document in Pending status as it waits for another approver's decision to reject or approve it.
Also, verify the number of 'Approvals' required. If the number of 'Approvers' who have not rendered their decision is greater than or equal to the 'Approvals' required (e.g. approvers - 2, required ap provals - 2) the system keeps the document within the approval process. This is to allow the other 'Approvers' to decide on the document.
I hope this clarifies the behaviour. If you can provide us a step by step screenshot of the issue, this may help us to provide a more accurate response.

     Dear Manian,
I'm trying to call you but there was no response on your mobile.
When the header says 'Pending', then it means the document is still within the approval process. Please check the Approval Template and see the number of approvers and the number of approvals require d.
The number of approvals and approvers may be greater than 1. In this case, the system waits for other approvers to approve or reject the document. Once all the approvers have rejected the document, th en the document will be released and available for editing.

     Hi:
Thanks for the reply - i tried this and found out the following:
1 - In the approval templates - we had mentioned number of approvals
required as '1'.
2 - in the number of approvers - we had mentioned two users
Though the template requires only one approvals (Either or OR) the system
expects both of them to approve or reject -
Can u please let me why is this behaving like this - or is this is the
way it is designed ? - if this is the way it is designed - i beleive it
is wrong - weneed to give a solution to the customer

     Dear Manian,
Thank you for the information. The behaviour is a current system definition documented as per Note 1321234. I have attached the said Note for your reference. When only 1 approval is required and there are 2 or more persons are allowed to approve the document, the document does not get automatically rejected when 1 person 'rejects' it. The system waits for other approvers to render their decision b ecause a person may still approve or reject the document.
The design is not an application error. If you would like to change this design, please post your requirement in our SAP Business One Product Development Collaboration
forum. You can find the forum in this link:

If you can provide us a step by step screenshot of the issue, this may help us to provide a more accurate response.

Hi: The status of the document in the Header says 'Pending' and the status below the document number says 'Suspended' - it is not showing as 'Draft'

Dear Manian,
I'm trying to call you but there was no response on your mobile. When the header says 'Pending', then it means the document is still within the approval process. Please check the Approval Template and see the number of approvers and the number of approvals require d. The number of approvals and approvers may be greater than 1. In this case, the system waits for other approvers to approve or reject the document. Once all the approvers have rejected the document, th en the document will be released and available for editing.

Hi: Thanks for the reply - i tried this and found out the following: 1 - In the approval templates - we had mentioned number of approvals required as '1'. 2 - in the number of approvers - we had mentioned two users Though the template requires only one approvals (Either or OR) the system expects both of them to approve or reject - Can u please let me why is this behaving like this - or is this is the way it is designed ? - if this is the way it is designed - i beleive it is wrong - weneed to give a solution to the customer

Dear Manian,
Thank you for the information. The behaviour is a current system definition documented as per Note 1321234. I have attached the said Note for your reference. When only 1 approval is required and there are 2 or more persons are allowed to approve the document, the document does not get automatically rejected when 1 person 'rejects' it. The system waits for other approvers to render their decision because a person may still approve or reject the document.
The design is not an application error. If you would like to change this design, please post your requirement in our SAP Business One Product Development Collaboration forum.

Error when reassigning a custom task process

Hello!
I have an error when reassigning a custom task process.
That is what I see at the workflow history: Task assigned to xxx was delegated by xxx. Coments: xxx
However in the second line of the history an error is shown with the following information:
Event type: error
User ID: System account
Description: An error has occurred in nameofthetask
No new task is created for the user who the task was reassigned to.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi，
From the error message， I
guess that you come across an OOTB Approval
Workflow.
When you define your workflow, there is a section "Enable content Approval Workflow Activities", where you can check "Update the approval status after the workflow is completed (use
this workflow to control content approval)". If you check this option, and you do not have content approval enabled on the library level, you get the system account error message. If you do not check it, everything works fine.
Or you can go to the document library settings and go to Versioning Settings Page, set "Require content approval for submitted items to?" to yes and everything should be fine.
Refer to the following blogs about the similar issue:

Error during approval Process flow in Process controlled workflow

Hello Experts,
We are in SRM 7.0 classic scenario using Process controlled workflow.WE recently connected a new backend R/3 system to our SRM system i.e we now have 2 R/3 backend system connected to SRM system
It is regarding the two new additional account assignment categories that came into picture when we connected the new R/3 backend system to our SRM system, i.e. Asset and Network.
There seems to be some problem with the approval workflow for those SHC, that have such Acc *** Cats.
Please find below my obeservations:
- if you have just one line item in the SHC, and this item is either booked on Asset or on Network, than everything goes fine. After the Acc *** approval, the PR is created in R/3
- if you have SC with a mix between an "old" Acc *** Cat (Cost Centre, WBS and Order) and one of the "new" Acc *** Cats, than the workflow is not working as required --- the manager, that is responsible for the accounting approval of the two positions (e.g Cost Centre and Asset) gets only one work item in his approval overview --- in that work item, the two positions are there, but the Asset one is grayed out --- so, the Manager approves only the Cost Centre positions and than the SC is no longer with the approver --- if you observe the SC now from the requisitioner point of view, the status of the line items in the approval process overview of both(!) lines is "approved", but the overall status of the SC is still "in approval"
Can you all experts plz let us know why this is happening and how this can be resolved?
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
RKS

How to send a group notification in approval process?

I'd like to send a group notification in approval process, so as to tell them that they hava pending tasks in OIM.
As if the out of the box does not support sending an email to a group of users. I have written the custom code
to implement it, but I don't know where should I attach the adapter/event handler in the approval process.
Any suggestions will be helpful! Thanks!

Hi,
I you can attach the adapter to to approval task as you attach adapter to other process task.If you are writing task assignment adapter then you can also attach this adapter in assignment tab.

Approver Details Not Visible After Changing the Approval Process

Hi Gurus,
This expense report belongs to an open approval task when an approval process has ended its validity date.
After a new approval process is activated, all pending approval tasks experience the issue of approver details not showing.
In order to reproduce following steps need to be done :
1. Deactivate the current approval process and activate the new approval process.
2. When the status of the recently deactivated approval process is "Ended With Open Tasks", go to the "Show Open Approval Tasks" to
see the open approval tasks.
3 Check the Cost Assignment area for expense report which is in the open approval tasks.
3. Approver Details are available.
4. The approver sees the expense report on his/her approval list.
Once the approver approves, it doesn't go out of his/her approval list and the expense report is still pending for approval.
To determine if the expense report has no other pending approval from anyone else, there should be the approver
details but the issue is it doesn't show up.
The expense report is also stuck on the approver's approval list even after approving.
Workaround provided to the Customer: Recall the ER and submit again for approval.
But as per customer there should be a background job to refresh the expense report to reflect the approval details.
And issue should not occur as explained on the point 4.
Kindly suggest if anything is possible to improve the system behavior.
Regards,
Rahul Mishra

Hi Rahul,
Although we have a workaround, I believe a permanent solution has to be implemented.
In cases when an expense report has more than one approver (for example there are 4 approvers) and the 3 approvers had already approved, I think it will not be good to recall the expense report and resubmit because the traveler will have to seek for approval again from all the approvers.

Approval Process doesn't work correctly

Hi,
I developed custom request template for self-request provisioning for resource with child table data. Also I deployed custom Request Dataset only with child attribute field definition for this resource:
<request-data-set
xmlns = "http://www.oracle.com/schema/oim/request"
xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation = "http://www.oracle.com/schema/oim/request"
name = "ProvisionResourceHP"
entity = "HP"
operation = "PROVISION">
<AttributeReference
available-in-bulk = "true"
length = "100"
widget = "text"
type = "String"
attr-ref = "UD_HP_ROLES"
name = "Roles">
     <AttributeReference
     lookup-code = "Lookup.HP.AppRoleList"
available-in-bulk = "true"
required = "false"
     length = "100"
widget = "lookup"
     type = "String"
     attr-ref = "AppRole"
     name = "AppRole"
          primary="true"/>
</AttributeReference>
</request-data-set>
When this request approved by all participants of the approval process, Resource do not in provisioned status! In the resource history only - System Validation status Pending!!!

I resolved this issue but not complitly. I checked Auto Save Form check box on Process Form and its worked.
But I do not need Auto Save, because on child table attrubute i don't have any prepop adapter so it always been unpopulated during direct provisioning....
How to solve this new issue???

Approval process in OIM 11g

Hi All,
I am newbie to OIM. I have a requirement with 2 levels of approvals in OIM 11g.
*1st level:* In the first level the Approver will be selected by the user(self service) from the drop down present in the custom UI.
*2nd level:* For the 2nd level Approval the 1st level appover should have the ability to select the next approver from a drop down list. The 2nd level approvers belong to a particular group.
All the approvers should be stored in a lookup table in OIM. When a user raises a request the custom application should get the values from the lookup table and populate the drop down for 1st level approvers. 2nd level approvers sholud be populated in the drop down during the 1st level approval process.
can any one suggest me the steps to achieve this.
Thanks

Task assignment in SOA are done via human task assignment i.e. the .task component in BPEL. Now this task assignment can use various features to compute whom to assign the task to.
1. Static: This is when you specify the group name or the user name directly into the task.
2. Dynamic : This is when you assign the approver to be a variable and in your SOA workflow before task assignment you assign value to this variable.
3. External Routing: This is when you assign a java code inside the .task to do all the assignment and escalations. When using this you can have complex implementations done.
What I meant by looping is that you will need to call this .task two times, first time of the first approver and second time (if the first approves it) for the second approver. Thus when you are inside the loop you need to get the appropriate value from the payload (payload is sent from OIM to SOA when you submit/approve the request) and set it into the appropriate variable so that .task reads that variable and assigns the task to that person.
I would recommend going through the BPEL developers guide for better understanding. Start with a simple process and see how it behaves when it runs and then pile on top of it.

Web Page Composer (WPC) – Web page - Approval process

We have requirement with our web publishing environment where we want to stage the web pages for review before they are published for public. Currently, if you develop a web page in Web Page Composer ( WPC ) and click publish to review the content/layout. The page is published for public and included in TRex and can be searchable.
We thought KM Approval process will help resolve this issue. The approval process work very well with the u2018Site Contentu2019 where once author develop the content (article, paragraph etc.) and submit for approval in this case Editor (role). The content under site content folder is not published (not available for public) until approved by Editor.
This same approval process does not work on the Web Page folder. We have exactly same permission/ Service permission setup on the Web Page folder. Even though the u2018Approvalu2019 is turned on the Web Page folder it does not inherit the same to new web pages created or existing web pages in that folder. If we go and turn on the u2018Approvalu2019 on a page then we see a u2018Approvalu2019 button in WPC but when you submit the page for approval it pops up another screen with below message.
Confirm that you want to publish the page. A new version of the homepage will be created and, if appropriate, submitted for approval. Changes to pages not subject to approval are active immediately.
When you confirm this message nothing happens (no workflow kicks off).
I would like to hear if any one has tried the approval process on WPC web pages. If you are not using this process how you are staging the web page for review before publishing to public.
Thanks.

Hi Bertina,
We encountered the same problem couple days back in our environment. There is a SAP note (# 1294833) which details the issue but affected version indicated in this note is different then what we are on so we decided to create a note for SAP.
Below is SAP response for this issues
13.09.2010 - 08:52:12 CET - Reply by SAP
Dear customer,
I can confirm that the issue described in SAP Note 1294833 is indeed
present in EP 7.01 SP4 and is the reason you are currently experiencing
this problem.
Unfortunately, as outlined in the note, there is no workaround
available but our developers have advised me that the fix will be
included in the next patch for KMC WEB PAGE COMPOSER 7.01 SP04.
Hope this helps.

Approval Process Overview tab?

Hello,
I'm trying to work out how to populate the approver list table on the Approval Process Overview tab.
We are on SRM7.0 SP7 using a custom application controlled workflow.
The approvers are determined correctly but the approver preview list is not populated.
I have created a container element Approver_List (type BBP_WFL_APPROVAL_TABLE) and populated with approvers like the N-step BADI does but this is not being displayed.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
John
