Customize workflow

Dear all workflow expert,
I have copy a standard BOR- BUS7051 to ZBUS7051 and attached it to a new step that i have created. Then i created a new method that i need to use to set my request.status to unapproved. Can i directly use the method without considering the events in the ZBUS7051 as i notice there is many events there.
Thanks
Regards,
Bryan

I don't know how events are related to methods (unless they in turn cause another event, through a bapi or something like that).
so to answer your question. Yes you can use methods of a new BO without considering the events on this BO.
Maybe you should elaborate a bit more an what you want to achieve, how you want to achieve it and what your concerns are.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

  • Deploy customize workflow takes a long time to show up in application

    Hi,
    This is the first time (newbie) i am customizing and deploying work flow in ebiz(R12), the problem that I am facing is that after I deploy the customize workflow it takes a long for the ebiz to pickup/show the changes.
    What I did was to customize a standard workflow and save it back to database. I have tried retrieving the customize workflow to make sure that the workflow was save into database (not a access problem). After about a day then the customize workflow shows up (I used the 'status diagram' to see the workflow progress). Have already tried restarting the server, clearing out the cache but the customization still does not take effect (will only take effect the next day) . Am i missing a step ?

    Hi,
    Unless you are specifying an effective date in the future when you deploy the definition, the new version should become available immediately. Any existing workflow processes will continue to run using the definition that was valid when the process started, but any new processes will use the new definition.
    If this is not happening, then I would urgently raise a service request with Oracle support, as you are experiencing something very different from the expected functionality.

    Hi Asif,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I referred the links mentioned by you, but couldn't find anything relevant to re-triggering of Account Generator workflow.
    The customizations I did are working fine and is triggering the workflow. But my Question is, what are the circumstances that re-trigger the Account Generator for a given Purchase Order.
    To elaborate, say for instance I have created a PO for PO category 'Electrical Equipments' furnishing all other details and charge account is generated for this category, and the PO is saved. Now I come back and change the PO category to 'Medical Equipments' for the same PO, retaining all the other info same.
    So here, will the Account generator be re-triggered to generate different charge account?
    Kindly suggest.
    Thanks,

  • Approach to customize workflow - setting default values of attributes

    Hello Friends,
    I have a requirement to customize the standard workflow - PO Requisition Approval & PO Create Documents. I want to change the default value of certain attributes in both the workflow.
    Generally workflows are customized through process customization (create a new process by copying the main process (which gets called) and customize it under the same 'Item type' ) but if we just need to change the default value of attributes , do we create a new 'Item type' and set the attribute values or any other approach? If we make the change in the seeded workflow , whichever OU use that workflow will see the changes in functionality.
    The requirement is very common and even Oracle has mentioned that buisness should set these attributes to suit their business needs.One such attribute is 'Is Automatic Creation Allowed' (Should PO be created from iProc requisition without user intervention)
    What is the recommended/best way forward.
    Please suggest , thanks !!
    Regards,
    Amit

    You can simply update the wf_item_attributes table.
    Set text_default to Y WHERE name = 'CONT_WF_FOR_AC_REL_GEN'

  • SP2013 Customize Workflow Task Form with InfoPath 2013 - Unknown error occurred

    Hi everyone,
    After creating "Collect data from user" workflow using SharePoint designer, I need to customize the task form. But when I open the .xsn file (SharePoint generated), without editing anything (for testing purpose), and publish it, I got the message
    box: "An unknown error has occurred. The form template has been published to the server but it can only be opened in InfoPath Filler". I test the same scenario in SharePoint 2010, and it worked. It really annoys me.
    No exception in the log file, and no solution after much searching around.
    Please help.

    Hi john_d
     I got the solution to customize the Workflow task form. We cannot customize the workflow task form from InfoPath 2013, and if some how you are able to publish the task form it then when you publish your workflow then it your workflow will overwrite
    the default task form to your customized one.
    So the solution for it is that whatever fields you want to add to the task form you can just in "TASK FORM FIELDS" and it will display in your task form when you publish your workflow.

  • Customize workflow history list

    hi friends
    i am working with two workflows
    my scenario is
    1. first workflow initiate the process for page creation.
    2. second workflow for creating and publishing page.
    3. according to the first workflow request page will be created.
    4. my problem is i need to add second workflow log to the first workflow log according to the request.
    5. which mean two workflows are most have same workflow history according to the request.
    6. by default each workflow will have its own history according it initiation.

    4. I dont think you can do this unless you create these 2 workflows programmatically
    6. He it is a default behavior of workflow to maintain its on history

  • Customize Workflow: remove or change schedule activity

    Hi,
    does anyone here have experience with customizing a workflow in OM? We use the standard workflows of Oracle (e.g. Order Flow - Generic).
    Within these workflows is a scheduling activity which re-calculates and overwrites the Schedule Ship Date in our Order Lines. I want to get rid of that. I want to have this field only manually entered, but not changed by the workflow / scheduling activity.
    Anyone experience with such a thing? Can somebody share his ideas and experiences and give recommendations? Is this a good idea or not? Maybe some links to some guidelines on how to do this? I have already the white paper "Using Workflow in Oracle Order Management", but some information from experience people would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks a lot,
    David.

    Hello Sai and Sandeep,
    thanks a lot for your response.
    Yes my idea was to create a copy of the standard workflow and modify the copy. But I have not yet done such a thing with OM flows, so I was not sure if this is a recommended way at all. And also I need to find out if I can really prevent that the Schedule Ship Date gets updated automatically by some workflow.
    But your response made me more confident that this is not a really bad practice ;)
    Thanks a lot,
    David.

  • Issue in customize leave workflow

    Hi Guru,
    i have developed a customize workflow which  have 2 approvers and one initiator. when initiator create a leave workflow then he sends to the first approver  . once the first approver  approve the the leave request and sends it  to the second approver .when second approver recieves a mail , and click the link in uwl, system open the webdynpro application but did not contain any leave request due to which second approver can not find approve / reject button .
    As it is an urgent please help me out ASAP.
    Edited by: Sadia Kamal on Nov 25, 2011 12:48 AM

    Are you using the standard approval task TS12300097? If yes, then you need to take care that in the first approval step, the leave status is not getting changed to 'APPROVED'. If the document status gets changed to APPROVED after the first approval step, the posting report will post the leave document and hence the workflow will get completed. In such a case, the second approver will not get any item in his approval list.
    Hope this helps

  • Few questions about UCM in workflow and migration

    1)For workflow is there a way to search for items not yet released, if not could someone maybe point me to a way customize the "Active Workflows" page to change the column.
    2)While migrating some tables for drop down selection I noticed the table transfered but not the data in the table. I was using the Confid Migration Admin tool to do this and I was wondering if I'm missing something.

    1)For workflow is there a way to search for items not yet released, if not could someone maybe point me to a way customize the "Active Workflows" page to change the column.You can search all items in the Release Manager applet. Could you specify what items you would like to search for? (use-case?) Note that OOTB only reviewers and/or admins should see the item in a certain workflow step.
    You can certainly customize workflow pages to modify columns (add/remove/rename, etc.). It's an iDocScript customization of few includes (I can send you names, if you will.). But what is the link between these two requirements?
    2)While migrating some tables for drop down selection I noticed the table transfered but not the data in the table. I was using the Confid Migration Admin tool to do this and I was wondering if I'm missing something.
    Could you specifically describe what was your config in CMA and what table you intended to migrate? In general, I'd believe you need to use the Archiver, not CMA - see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10792/c08_migration.htm#CHDJAABJ (read the whole chapter for further details)

  • How to Test Design Time Fusion Customizations in JDeveloper

    Hi
    When we look at the wording and the diagram in the Oracle documentation, it says -
    "After you create these customizations, you can test them locally in JDeveloper and then deploy them directly into the full test environment. You can also deploy your customizations to a sandbox."
    2.1.2 Design Time Customization Workflow
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28271_01/fusionapps.1111/e16691/ext_lifecycle.htm#CHDIJJJJ
    But the message in this OTN forum we are getting is that we have to deploy it to the server and cannot be tested out locally.
    Could someone please clarify. The ability to test it out locally would be of tremendous help to us in reducing the development lifecycle.
    Thanks
    Srinivasa Sunchu

    Sorry for the long delay. Response from the colleague:
    >
    For SOA Jdev customizations there is nothing which can be tested locally in Jdev. The customized composite would need to be deployed to a standalone environment to test.
    >
    For other DT customizations i.e. customizations created in JDeveloper for ADF can be tested locally on integrated WLS. RT customizations created using composers require a deployed environment; the the customized definitions can be tested in sandboxes from which they can be published into production.

  • Workflow Subscription Time out

    Hi,
    I did a simple subscription workflow on manual activity. When status change from Pending to In Progress, I set a field. The workflow works fine almost all
    day. However, I had seen many time out exceptions on event viewer e some other systems workflows with the error
    “The database subscription query is longer
    than expected. Check the database or simplify the database subscription criteria.
     The following errors were encountered:
     Exception message: Subscription query is taking long.
    Subscription id: df0dcc33-a1c4-643c-4a03-319974477d75
    Time spent in new state: 00:00:10.0138210
    Time spent in querying state: 00:00:10.0648946
    One or more subscriptions were affected by this. 
    Subscription name: ServiceManager.ActivityManagement.ActivityStatusChangedRule”
    As I use powershell script to change a field activity, I would like call a .Net code beside powershell to increase performance. Anybody could send me a documentation about
    this? What’s best practice to customization workflow at Service Manager?
    Juan

    Hi,
    This is an indication that the database is being overwhelmed by the activity happening on the database.  It could be because there are too many workflows. It could be because there are some connectors running that are hammering the database.  It
    could also be that there are too many users updating the database.  It could also be that the subscription criteria is too complicated and involves too many table joins.  Or it could be some combination of all of those things.  If you see this
    event consistently for one particular subscription and not others that is an indication that the criteria for that particular subscription may be too complicated or there are a lot of transactions that are happening frequently for the target class of that
    subscription.

  • How to customize approval process in ChaRM

    Hello experts
    In standard ChaRM scenario, the change manager will authorize the change and then different change transactions get created and processed. But if we want to have multiple people approve the change request, there is no standard configuration. The standard ChaRM will not allow multiple change manager exist in one change request. So here is:scenario
    If I use partner function 'approved by' to allow multiple approvers in one change request, how can I configure the actions/status so that until all approvers authorize the change the change request can not go to next status?
    SAP says ChaRM has customizable workflow. But I don't see where it is.
    Any idea?
    Thanks
    Ming

    Hello Zhou,
    To achieve this you must modify both Status profile and action profile for the transaction type SDCR. For example.
    add statuses
    1st approval
    2nd approval
    and then create actions to set these status defining conditions necessary. With the conditions you can restrict which actions are possible according to current status. With this you can restrict the authorize action when status is set to last approval.
    regards,
    Henry
