Custom workflow for Over Time

Hi All,
I have a requirement for Over time workflow. There is no standard workflow is there for this. FC asked me to develop a screen for over time in which Reporting manager will enter the employees overtime details, when he clicks on submit button it should go for approval to DGMs inbox. If DGM approves the OT then it go for Time office where they may change the OT data or they may approve the OT.
My issue is I have created the entire flow through modulepool. I have developed the screenand program etc.,. when RM submits I am triggering an event and then WF starts. Now when the DGM receives the workitem how can I display the second screen which are having the approval Rejection and Change buttons appears, how can I write the logic inside the BO Method to call the 2nd screen?.
Can anybody please guide me how to complte this WF.
Regards.
Srija.

Hi,
We also had the same requirement, we handled the same using Module Pool Programming and Workflow.
My Understanding: Imagine you need to call the Module Pool program to get approval for the OT.
Steps:
1. Place one work item in DGM's Inbox, when DGM double clicks the work item, write a method to call the same module pool in display or Change mode as per your requirement.
2. Now, in Step 1 use Import / Export Memory ID's.
In BOR Object Method, before doing CALL TRANSACTION <ZXYZ>. You need to Export one Memory ID say M1 with value "X"
In PAI of the appropriate module pool screen you need to IMPORT data from Memory ID into one variable say WS_M1.
3. Create two buttons on the screen keep them in invisible mode, (just check the property of the button element).
Now, write the code like IF WS_M1 equal to 'X', loop at screen, and make the two buttons visible, if control coming from workflow task, if there are more elements to control it is easy to use groups for screen elements.
4. Now, in PBO of the same screen, capture the ok_code of the Approve or Reject button, raise appropriate events, update data base.
5. Make sure your BOR method is asynchronous, other wise if the manager clicks cancel or F3 then task will disappear.
Pls let me know if you need more info.

Custom workflow for manual merch projects

Hi,
Having issues in configuring custom workflow.
In ATG10.0.3 created a custom workflow(editCommerceAssets.wdl) & configured with catalog import job (importing thru spreadsheet & creating a Merch project).This works successfully.
I am trying to configure this custom workflow for manually created projects in BCC.
In the following files I tried replacing commonWorkflow.wdl to editCommerceAssets.wdl.
<localconfig>\atg\commerce\web\assetmanager\taskConfiguration.xml
<localconfig>\atg\commerce\web\workflowActivities.xml
But getting this error in pub console:
10:13:23,195 WARN [ActivityManager] The workflow activity with ID /Common/commonWorkflow.wdl has been registered multiple times for the same workflow. Please verify your workflow
configuration as this is not allowed.
10:14:40,453 ERROR [ApplicationManager] There is no application configured with ID '/Common/commonWorkflow.wdl'.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!

It is possible that the workflow has already been registered in db before you modified workflowActivities.xml.Did you try cleaning up workflow tables and restart the server??
epub_workflow_info, epub_coll_workflow, epub_ind_wf,epub_wf_server_id tables
Make sure there is only one entry for each workflow in epub_workflow_info. If there are multiple entries, then it may be coming from 2 different places and you need to disable one of them. Whenever you create custom work flow, copy the existing workflow and modify it and give it a different name. If you are importing programmatically, you really dont need to configure it in taskConfiguraiton.xml ( as it corresponds to settings related to which item-descriptors, tabs, security in BCC gui).

Debug background task in custom workflow for PO change

Hi,
We are on ECC 6.0 EHP7.
I have a custom workflow for PO object type(delegated to std object type BUS2012).
There is a background task which has some custom code written and I need to debug this code.
Can someone please let me know how to debug a background task?
Thanks.

As suggested by ronen we can debug through swo1 but we have to pass values manually for importing parameters, by using sm50 also we can do debug and there is one more way to debug
if its custom task change background task to fore ground and change business object method also change it to fore ground and activate the work flow.
now change any po then it will stop at that step now take that work item id in swi1 and go to swia and execute after putting break point in that method of business object.
But best way to debug through infinite loop i.e sm50.

Custom Workflow for Shipping Execution

Hi All,
We have a requirement to cater approval on issuance i.e. at the time of shipping execution. For this purpose we have used Oracle Workflow Builder to cater the requirement. The workflow is working fine for approval but not for rejection. If we approve the shipping execution, the transaction is working fine but if we rejects it, the shipping transaction got stuck with exception and if we resolve the exception manually, we are unable to re send it for approval or even shipping.
I will be grateful if anyone can help me out and advise me on how to setup of workflow for rejection.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Try with replacing
Entity lead = service.Retrieve("lead", context.PrimaryEntityId, new ColumnSet(new string[] { "new_mtcdate" }));
also make it confirm, you are getting EntityId.

Custom workflow for Fiori Approve Timesheets

Hello All,
I am investigating complexity of adding custom workflow to Approve Timesheets.
There is BADI SRA010_BADI_TIMESHEET_APV.
Any experiences/advices ?

Hi Lukasz,
How do you change approver using data from Ztable in the current system?
If you are talking about workflow approver determination logic, it is a job for Workflow Engine and not for Fiori.

How to create custom workflow for document library?

Hi All,
I have a document library with a custom people picker column "assign to". Need to create approval workflow using designer, approval must send to person who is selected in "assign to" column. I tried with designer workflow,But finally
facing "The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the e-mail has a valid recipient". How to fix and achieve my scenario? Thanks in advance!

I would suggest you to firstly print the assign to value using "Log to history" action. Moslty it could be of three reasons,
1. Assign to value is not getting populated correctly in your SPD workflow
2. Email server is not configured properly, If alerts and other emails are workfing in your server then this would not be a reason for issue
3. The user your trying to send an email does not have valid email
do let us know if can get the user email in your workflow.
Hope this helps!

Custom workflow for course registration

Hi,
I have an assingment to create list where items are courses and when new item is created you can give max participant value. List and columns are ok. (max participants(integer), current participants(integer), open/closed(choice), all participants(text)
So this is what I want to do with workflow:
When someone wants to join the course, person will click "Join course" button
workflow starts and it will add +1 to 'current participants'
workflow adds display name of person to column 'all participants'
if 'current participants' is same as 'max participants' then course will change 'closed'
I can use SP designer with workflow 2010 so is this impossible?
I have possibility to use visual studio 2010 but i'm not very familiar with C# workflows.
My biggest worries are that
how to store all participants to one column (multiline text) with workflow
how to display participants column only to admin users.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
Antti Astikainen

Hi Antti,
I have done similar project in past and used only SharePoint Designer. Yes it is very much possible using SPD.
how to store all participants to one column (multiline text) with workflow
>> Maintain a multiline text column as you assumed and then just do
attendee = CurrentItem:Attendee +";"+attendee
how to display participants column only to admin users.
>> you can hide this column from default view or maintain a different list where course name(lookup)
and this attendee (multi line) will be saved. You can add this multi line in master course list as well (depending on your design)
Using SPD workflow you can update same list item / different list item / and it has many other action.
For 'State Machine workflow' you may need VS.

Can not make work custom scope for run time created pages

Greetings
i have an application where you can choose a scope where you want to create your page using the create page task flow. the thing is that it is not working my pages are not being created on any new scope, looking through the folders of the MDS repository i only see a new folder where each new scope i create with mi app in runtime has a folder with the same name that the scope and inside of each...is an xml file....the path to those is /webcenter/mds-integServerRepos/<my_app_name>/oracle/webcenter/framework/scope/scopedMD/<custom_scope_name>/scope.xml
does any body know why this is happening?

Hello
i am using the create page task flow.....here is the task flow configuration, it only has one parameter
<taskFlow id="pagecreatepage1"
taskFlowId="/oracle/webcenter/page/view/jsf/fragments/page-create-page.xml#page-create-page"
activation="deferred"
xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/controller/binding">
<parameters>
<parameter id="oracle_webcenter_page_createpage_scopename"
value="${adminPagView.scopeName}"/>
</parameters>
</taskFlow>
scope name is a method in my backing bean ..............and here is the method implementation
public String getScopeName() {
ServiceContext sContext = ServiceContext.getContext();
try {
Scope scope = sContext.createScope("scope_test");
sContext.setScope(scope);
} catch (ScopeAlreadyExistsException scopeExistsException) {
System.out.println("Scope Already Exists...");
return scopeName;
the method executes correctly and in the mds folders y can see a folder for that scope in DefaultDomain/webcenter/mds-integServerRepos/<my_app_name>/oracle/webcenter/framework/scope/scopedMD/scope_test/scope..xml
and my page jspx is in this path
/oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/s8bba98ff_4cbb_40b8_beee_296c916a23ed/user/U364DAA907F1311DFAF1145A33DBB364E/Page1.jspx
as you can see s8bba98ff_4cbb_40b8_beee_296c916a23ed is the defaul scope, maybe i am just creating a scope but no telling to the task flow to
used it..............no sure what is happening
