Customer Workflow Portal

Subject: Customer Workflow Portal
Issue: u2013 currently when any attribute of a customer is changed, it triggers an approval that is sent to a distribution list. This is controlled by a workflow under the hood of the portal screen for Customer Maintenance in the SAP MDM application
What is needed:
Requirement is to trigger approval workflow only when new customer is created, and not to trigger workflow when any existing customer is changed/updated.
WIll anyone be able to guide as to where in SAP Portal Customer Workflow to change this?
Please kindly advice!
Thanks and Regards,
Carmel

Logon to MDM Data Manager GUI --> Select Workflows Table --> Check for the workflow which is configured for update record operation --> Make it inactive.
Make sure the workflow, which you will make inactive must have property Trigger Action =Record Update.
Or if any any single workflow is configured for more than one trigger action along with record update operation, then remove record update action from this property.
Problem will be resolved.

How to ignore the password policy in a custom workflow?

Hi,
We have a custom workflow which is called via SPML to provide 'Administrator Change Password' functionality in a portal.
Our password policy sets the String Quality rules and Number of Previous Passwords that Cannot be Reused. But we like to bypass the password policy when the password administrators (who have a admin role with a capability - 'Change Password Administrator'). At least, restriction ' Number of Previous Passwords that Cannot be Reused' need to be ignored (But password need to be added to the history... cannot disable adding passwords to history).
Please advice me how it could be achieved?
The workflow steps:
1. Checkout 'ChangeUserPassword' view for the user as an administrator
2. Set the new password in the view, set true to view.savePasswordHistory
3. Set password on the resources
4.Checkin the view
Thanks
Siva

Thanks eTech.
My main goal is to skip the password history check (new password can't be a last used 10 passwords) when admin change password workflow is launched. As you suggested , I created a special password policy exactly as our regular password policy excluding "Number of Previous Passwords that Cannot be Reused" setting.
Then before change the password of a user as admin, special policy is attached , password changed, and user's password policy is reverted back to regular one. The issue is, as the special policy does not enforce the password history check, the whole password history of the user is wiped out from the user object when the password is changed by admin change password workflow. We don't want this to happen.
Please guide me whether is anyway to achieve just ignoring the password history without any other impact on user.
Is adding passwords to user object's password history list is triggered by "Number of Previous Passwords that Cannot be Reused" setting of the password policy??
Thanks
Siva

SAP GRC 3.0 Custom workflow

Hi,
We are implementing GRC3.0 with portal intergration. The standard workflow appears to be working fine.
I have a requirement of either customizing the standard workflow or creating a custom workflow to allow exceptions and remediation notifications to be sent to more than one recipient.
As far I I know, standard workflow just allows 1 recipient.
If I choose to create a custom workflow, how do I configure it in GRC (how do I point GRC to call this custom workflow, instead of the standard one)?
Considering I have a limited knowledge about the workflows, any sort of help will be appreciated.
Regards.

Custom Workflow approval

Hello,
In Duet Enterprise 1.0 out of box scenarios.
1. Can we configure Custom workflows
2. can we approve from Outlook 2010
Regards,
Shashank

Hi,
I would need if I were designing my workflow approvals to be based on a custom table
You want to maintain approver in the Custom Table and pick it at the runtime right.
You can pick via Expression or Rule,... it depends on your requirement.
For rule see this [link|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d053fe48-6513-2b10-a59f-871923ff99d8].

Fiori Approve Travel Enpense Custom Workflow

Dear experts,
Regarding Fiori wave 1 application: Approve Travel Expenses, customer is using a custom workflow.
The SAP standard workflow step for this app is a task decision type step.
But the custom workflow step is an activity type step.
Can we also map the workflow step outcome with user decision?(I think by implementing BADI)
Is there any affect on the Fiori app implementation?
Masayuki Sekihara
Thanks and regards,
Chloe

Hi Masayuki Sekihara and experts,
I'm facing a similar scenario with PO approval.
The client uses Portal UWL to read their inbox and wants to replace SAPGUI PO approval UI with Fiori PO approval UI.
What would I have to change in the workflows' task in order to make it fit for Fiori?
I'm trying to put all pieces together but I can't make it work.
I changed the WF and task (replace the task that calls BOR BUS2012 by a dummy task type activity that calls a redefinition of BOR, ZBUS2012, with an extra dummy method and events for Approve and Reject actions.
Implemented Badi for enh.spot /IWWRK/ES_WF_WI_BEFORE_UP_IB method before_update to send data back from fiori to backend WF.
I assume I have to change some config for Fiori PO approval app to map it to my new task and do the same in Portal 7.4 for UWL configuration?
But, where or how do you set the text that will be displayed in UWL for this Fiori task?
I'm executing the custom WF in the backend and get stuck trying to determine the agent (it comes empty). In the step in Control tab under Agents section I'm using a custom rule that calls a FM that pastes a custom value in EKKO then in the task in tab Default Rules I'm calling the standard rule 'Agent (default Rule)' = 20000027 biding PurchaseOrder and ReleaseCode.
And I don't get to see the workitem in the approver's inbox (SBWP tcode) after creating the PO either. As far as I know this is something that should always occur (seeing the workitem in the approver's inbox regardless of what we use in the end: UWL and/or Fiori).
Any pointers?
Thanks,
Laura

Reading values from lookup columns through custom workflow in SharePoint 2013

We are able to read the values of text, number columns through custom workflow (via coding) in SharePoint 2013. However, we are not able to read values from lookup columns. So, request anyone to provide help on this.
Thanks & regards,
Aditya

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to read values from lookup columns through custom workflow in SharePoint 2013.
Since the workflow just doesn't get lookup fields, let's give it something static to work with instead. If we can capture the ID of the lookup field and store that as a static value in our list, the workflow can happily use that to look up our related.
For more information, you can refer to:
SharePoint 2013 Workflows and Lookup Columns

Open url link in custom workflow. SharepPoint 2010

Hi, i created custom workflow in Visual studio 2010. I want my workflow opened page of the site. In workflow i using method - Process.strart("http:\\mysite\myform.aspx") try to open the page. But my workflow is completed after his the start.
Browser does not open the page i have. Can you please tell me how best to do to open up the site url in the workflow code. Thanks.

I don't think you can. Workflows run in a background thread on the server, so even if you were able to open a web page it would open on the server, not the client.

Custom Workflow using Oracle Workflow in ContentDB

Hi,
Could we use custom workflow which is made using Oracle Workflow instead of BPEL.
Regards,
Yulisar

Having registered custom workflows for Content DB via Enterprise Manager, potentially you can use any tool capable of dequeuing/enqueing messages from the IFS_BPEL_OUT/IFS_BPEL_IN advanced queues as part of a custom workflow process.
By default, we assume you are using Oracle BPEL PM with its Advanced Queue adapater to process the queue messages. However, there is nothing stopping using Oracle Workflow or any tool for that matter.
HOWEVER!!! Warning!!! There is a high probability that Content DB will drop the bundled Oracle Worflow installation in the near future. What this means, is that you should consider installing/configure/patching your own separate Oracle Workflow installation and not rely on the bundled Content DB solution which is used internally for Serial and Parallel Approval workflows.
thanks,
Matt.

How do I add my Custom Workflow Activity to FIM 2010 R2 SP1 installed on Windows 2012 server?

Hellos.
I have tried and failed to add my custom.dll into the Windows Server 2012 GAC.
We have a version of FIM 2010 R2 Sp1 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 and that was no problem. There seemed to be a gacutil.exe present on the system which added my assembly.
I cannot find gacutil.exe on the Windows 2012 Server.
I have downloaded and installed Windows SDK for Windows 8. However, when I try the gacutil.exe /i <myCustom.dll> nothing seems to happen.
Are there any guidelines how to add custom workflow activities to FIM when installed on a Windows Server 2012 system?
TIA
*HH

Well yes. It is fine when FIM is hosted on Windows Server 2008 R2.My difficulty is that I am using FIM 2010 R2 Sp1 and Windows Server 2012. No GACutility executable.
However, the problem has been resolved. Powershell can be used to modify the assemblies.
I opened a RunAs Administrator PS session. My assembly is in folder c:\Temp
Using Windows Explorer I browsed the folder c:\windows\assembly and noted the System.EnterpriseServices entries: version (2.0.0.0) and public key token (b03f5f7f11d50a3a)
(My version is 2.0.0.0 because when installing FIM and SharePoint 2013 the instructions I used suggested setting .Net version to be 2.0)
These powershell commands got me going...
PS C:\temp> [System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load("System.EnterpriseServices, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a")
GAC Version Location
True v4.0.30319 C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_64\System.EnterpriseServices\v4.0_4.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50...
PS C:\temp> $publish = New-Object System.EnterpriseServices.Internal.Publish
PS C:\temp> $publish.GacInstall("c:\temp\RunPowershellLibrary.dll")
PS C:\temp>
PS C:\temp>
PS C:\temp> iisreset
Amazingly I can see the assembly RunPowershellLibrary in my Windows 2012 GAC. :-)
Also, what is more cheering is that the custom activity actually works with FIM 2010 R2 Sp1.

How to create a Language Branch using custom workflow?

Hi,
I’ve a requirement where I need to create a workflow process which will create a Language branch. i.e I wanted to achieve the functionality using custom workflow as given in the docs: https://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/administering/multi_site_manager.html#Managing the Translation of your Language Branches
As per the OOTB functionality,
1. If the target page is not exist in the Language branch, it will copy the reference page to target path.
2. If the target page is already exists, it will not create a copy of the reference.
After the translation, if we make any changes in the reference page and activate the reference, then we have a button called 'Show side by Side' under Translation in the side kick which shows differences between reference page and translated page.
Example:
So, I would like know how we can achieve this in my custom workflow process. In my workflow process, I’m checking whether the page is existed in the target path or not. If not exist, I used page copy.
Eg: Page page = newPage.copy(originalPage,targetPath+"/"+originalPageName,null,true,true );
When I use above api, it just copies the page and it will not maintain any relation with reference page.
Any pointers would be more helpful.
Thanks
Siva

Hi,
I have a similar request to export the texts from one language and after the translation to import them to the new language, did you find any solution? My question is how can I add some steps into my workflow to validate the imported data -and if the user validate the texts then proceed with next step(in my case I import the text from a file and generate a form with values). I read the documentation from Adobe but I didn't find anything related to how we can add a workflow to a dynamically generated from(I don't use the CQ form component).
Can anybody help me with this?
Thx, Lorand

Possible to fill a list using a custom Workflow in Sharepoint 2013

Is it possible to develop a custom workflow that compares a Contact List and the Active Directory and add any missing people to the list? Or is this a functionality not available with workflows and sharepoint 2013?

Instead of workflow you can do this,
Have user profile service application set up ,which will run on daily basis by default(you can configure to run Hourly/Minutely also) to import all users along with user attributes(email, department ..etc) to SharePoint. Configuring UPS :
http://blog.anuragg.com/2012/12/configure-user-profile-service.html
Create an item added event receiver on your "Contacts" list ,build business logic to fetch the corresponding user details from the above synced user profile properties. Retrieving User profile properties :
