Document Distribution workflow

I have document distribution workflow WS20000104 that is giving me
problems. It is failing on the Generate Distribution Order Package
Step. The Error is that no recipient was supplied.I think the
Recipient is contained in the Message Container. but this is not
passed into the workflow from the event. I supply the recipients on
the distribution screen
The event container on binding to the workflow container, does not
have the message object.
How can I pass the Recipients to the Workflow.

Hi,
As Jayanthi said, why dont you check your EVENT LINKAGE and BINDING.
Make sure that your Object's container element - DISORDER is being binded to EVT_OBJECT.
Yah,Message object is something that gets generated after the execution of Standard Task TS20000297(BUS1082002-GENERATE). So when this step fails, this Message container never gets populated.
So Message Object has nothing to do with EVENT BINDING.
May be, you can test the BOR BUS1082002 manually passing the same data and figure out the problem by debugging.
Hope this helps.

Document Distribution Workflow Error

Dear Expert,
After Up gradation from 4.7e to ECC 6.0 in new system we are facing problem in Documents Distribution, after executing Tr. Code CVI8 system generates message Initial order XXX has been successfully created
But, the problem is, in tr. code SBWP document is not received in recipient ID and in distribution log(CVI9) document is shown with yellow flag & "PC" status (i.e. Package crated successfully).
Actually we are maintaining same configuration in both system ECC 6.0 & 4 .7e but its working fine for 4.7e system not for ECC 6.0. Whereas Workflow log gives message "You have not entered a distribution order package"
I already checked
1) Re-activate the following workflows in transaction SWDD: WS20000104 & WS20000137
2) In Tr. code SWU3, Automated workflow customization
3) Activated Even Linkage Type
4) In Tr. Code SWE3 Instances for Event Linkage.
Any suggestions.....Thanks in advance...

Hi Sam,
I have experienced a simliar problem. I'm trying my best to remember how it was resolved.
I think the problem we had was to do with the Context.
1.It had not been defined
2. It was not assigned to an event
Hope this helps.

Document Distribution DMS, problem with standard workflow WS20000104

Hi,
In our document distribution process we stacked with the problem, when we run the document distribution (via tcode CVI8) we got the error of workflow WS20000104. After some search at SCN we found that there is the similar issue, described in the thread: Document distribution workflow in error. Solution which was offered and marked as worked is to enable/activate Result Parameter check box, but in our case this check box is disabled and when we try to edit the BOR in order to activate Result Parameter check box the system asked to input Access Code.
Is there any way (note) to enable this check box without access code?
Thanks.

Hi, Deepak Kori
In transaction SWU3 there is the following situation:
Maintain Runtime Environment is completely green, including sub-categories;
Maintain Definition Environment is red because of Check Entries from HR Control Tables;
Maintain Additional Settings and Services is red because of Maintain Web Server;
Classify Tasks as General is completely green, including sub-categories;
Guided Procedures is red because of Maintain Guided Procedures Gateway.
Could you, please, explain what do you mean under «workflow settings are activated», how parameters described above are related to workflow and may be related to our problem?
If described situation can be assumed as activated, what should we do now? Otherwise, how to make these settings to be activated?
Thanks.

Error in SAP standard workflow ddoStart - Start document distribution

Hi all,
I'm trying to use the document distribution but i'm failing completely. After doing what i think is the necessary config (setting all relevant tasks to general task should be all), i try to distribute. I create a list, selects people and click go.
When checking the log for the distribution later on, all workflows generated hang in the same place - namely the case branch before "check document distribution". Further on, the "check distribution order" task does have three potential outcomes after calling the business objects corresponding method. The problem is that the method "check" of bus1082 (doc. dist. order) does not return a check value as a parameter, even though it has a result internally.
I suspec i'm missing something here, but the wf still bombs out.
Tips and tricks guys?
Espen

HI all,
Problem is identified and a solution is found. THe businesss object's methods for distribution order did not have the flag for result parameter ticked. Opening up the standard SAP objects, tick the box and voila - it works.
Still puzzles me how SAP did release this. Didnt they test?

Document Distribution Question for Confirm Receipt Workflow

Hi all,
If I do a document distribution for recipient list (CVI7) with several users as recipients of the document, all of the workflows with links back to the dist log for confirming receipts go to the person who initiated the distributions. Is there any method of directing these workflows directly to the users specified in the recipient list?
Thanks in advance
Bill Pickett

Hi
In stndard sap it is not possible.It might be done by changing the recipient in the workflow. So consult a workflow person for this.

Std workflow for document distribution.

Hi Gurus,
Scenario is I donot have a workflow resource for customization. I need to send the document for Approval to a list of 4 Approvers after I set the status to "For Approval". Can we achieve it through document distribution with any std workflow avalaible which can be triggered after I set the status to " For Approval"?
Thanks
Pad

Hi Sri,
Thanks for the reply. I had the Workflow WS 20000104 inserted at the " For Approval " status. Then I created a new DIR and before setting this status I created the receipient list with my user Id . After I set the status "For Approval" I cannot see any work item in SBWP. Am I missing any step?
If in case its because of the Workflow linkage inactive, could any of the Workflow experts guide me
on how to do that.
Thanks,
Paddy

Document Management distribution workflow

I have activated the document management distribution workflow. When I start the documenent distibution the workflow is not started. When I go back to check the started of the workflow in spro it will be deactivated.
How can I activated it permanently or is there some configuration that need tobe done?
Points will be awarded.

Hie Sreecharan. It is not working. The workflow is continuously being deactivated.
I am activating it in spro, under 'Perform task-specific Customizing'. Under CA, I go to Document Management and click on Activate Event Linking.
I expand WS20000104 and click on deactivate and it displays a green buttonthat it is activated.I then click on the properties of the event linkage button. and followed your instructions. The save button will be disabled. When I close the dialog box, on re-opening it, it would have defaulted to 'System presetting'.

DMS Document Distribution Problem Pls, Help Will be appreciated

When executing T-Code CVI8(Document Distribution), there is a system message that the order was successfully created. But when we looked at the distribution log using T-Code CVI9, the status of the document remains as SY and the processing of the distribution stops. We already finished the settings for document distribution and still this error persists. What could have been wrong? Pls advice.

Hi Athol,
i have checked the workflow config accordingly,
workflow templates 20000104 and 20000137. are active.
a. 20000104 BUS1082 x 2 (Initiated and Resend)
b. 20000137 BUS1082002 x 1 (Resend)
But the Release status for these templates is NOT DEFINED, should it be RELEASED & the container tab for 20000104 shows a warning icon(Mandatary import parameter)on partial order & intial value not set & same for 20000137 shows warning icon on distribution order package & initial value not set.
what does this mean, is there any setting required for this?
2. Transaction SWU3 ensure that all has been generated (activated). Pay special attention to Maintain Runtime Environment -> Configure RFC destination.
I HAVE checked the above all are active except Configure RFC destination, what is the setting required for the same.
the 3, 4,& 5 setting what u have suggested are ok,i have checked them.
Please suggest for the 1 & 2 points.
thanks in advance.

Error no receipient found in document distribution

hi,
i'm getting error no receipient found in document distribution,
when executing document distribution in CVi7
Kindly let me know whether it is basis or workflow related issue,
regards
kokila

Hi Kokila,
one possible reason can be a missing flag in TA SO16. Please check
that the flag 'Organizational units' (under tab 'Adressing') is set and
that no sending restrictions are defined under tab 'Send'.

Document Distribution Log Status

HI All,
In CVI9 I can set a document distribution status to Ignore but I cannot find anywhere in the log that it records who set that status and when. Does anyone know if there is a background table where this information is stored so I can write a query to determine who set this status.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,
in the standard I think there is only the 'Log' and 'Workflow' button which enables you to get further information about how the distrbution was processed. However here the user and time of the change is not displayed.
Best regards,
Christoph

Document Distribution for External Mails ids

Dear Expert Consultants,
I would like to know how to send Docuemnts as link from Document Distribution to external Mails. Also i want to know Mass printing functionality in DMS Documents.
Regards,
Deviprasad.P

Hi,
In the standard case you need to folow below procedure
1. Use TC SOCP to create external recipients. you may need BASIS help in this.
2. Create recipient list using TC CVI1.
2. Assign the documents to be distributed to this list. Document should be created before this step.
3. Assign External recipients to this list.
4. Distribute the document using CVI8.
5. TC CVI9 will help you to know the status of distribution.
Most important factor is that your SAP standard workflow which drives the distribution to external mail ids should be working. Please contact BASIS team if it has any problem. Without this distribution is not possible.
Hope it will help you.

Document Distribution order package status IW?

Hi
I am working on document distribution. the workflow is starting very well but fails to proceed at the status IW. On top of the order staus, there is a message "Not assigned to distr. order package". I am failing to troubleshoot it. Any ideas, transactions and assistance to resolve this will be highly appreciated.
Kind regards

Hi,
Can you make sure that checkbox for 'distribute immediately' indicator is ticked when you start distribution using Txn CVI8? If not, you will have to make appropriate settings in customizing.
Hope this resolves the issue.

Part Orders with "ER" ststus in Document Distribution

Hi All,
I am distributing the documents to Internal User. When I distribute the document, Initail order is successfully created. But the document is appearing in the Document folder in the Sap inbox, instead its coming in the workflow folder in box "Process erroneous distribution package " for the respective document distribution number.
I activated the Event type linkage. Workflow is going properly but its finishes as the Partial oder reaches to the Status "ER". By default all the document distributed are taking the same "ER" status route only.
I tested in 3 clients, this problem, is occuring in only one client where others are going fine with the document distribution.
Need suggestions on this.
Regards,
Venu.

Applied SAP note 1008281. Its working.

Automatically start Document Distribution

Hello all,
i have a requirement to start the SAP standard document distribution automatically for a specific document if the status of this document is set to a release status.
I stll have implemented the Note 824949 and therefore have activated the event type linkage for the following BUS objects:
BUS1082 INITIATED
BUS1082 RESEND
DRAW     CHANGED   DOKST
DRAW     CHANGED   DWNAM
DRAW     CHANGED   DISTRIBUTION
The manual distribution for documents is still working fine but (the distribution log and the SBWP say it)
But I don't get any log entry and not SBWP mails if a document of a distribution list is set to a release status!!!!!!!! So the automatic process is not working until now.
Do you have some more hints?
Thanks,
Christian

I would use a workflow, at the point when a document is released you create an event. Based on this you can send the information. This is potentially not the easiest way but allows you to do function as you need it.
