Document Owner as Ad hoc Agent

Hi there,
I have a problem with the process controlled workflow within SRM 7.
The Situation is:
When a purchaser creates a shopping cart it triggers the automatic approvel workflow. Means the shopping cart autimaticaly is approved by the system after ordering.
In some cases the puchaser will add an Ad hoc Agent to approve his shopping cart. When this happens the purchaser have to add himself as last approver because the last approver has to be a purchaser.
The Problem is, the purchaser can't add himself as Ad hoc Agent because the system does not allow when he is the document owner/creator.
Is there any solution in customizing or badi where I can make it happen that the purchaser can add himself as ad hoc agent when he is the document owner?
In SRM 4 I now it is possible to add myself as ad hoc agent when I am the document owner.

Probably once the AD-hoc agent is added and after the approval you can put some code in the BADI to add the Purchaser as one of the approver. Again you might have to remove the Purchaser User Id from the Excluded list in the workflow if it is maintained.

Thanks for answer, Arghadip.
I'm using my own BRF expressions and so on.
Where can I remove the purchaser from the excluded list?
Where can I customiz to add myself (document owner) as ad hoc approver?
Or which badi do you mean?

Configuration issue in IE as Document mode: 10 and User agent String: Internet Explorer 8

Hi,
I have a telerik rad popup window performing some input operation. The problem is when I use the configuration in IE as Document mode: 10 and User
agent String: Internet Explorer 8, scroll bars appear in the window from nowhere. It is working fine with every other configuration of IE. I've also used a separate stylesheet for IE 8 but it won't apply in this case.
Here are the screen shots of the window.

Please if anybody could suggest a solution for this weird problem it would be a great help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It seems we need to talk with the site developers to determine how the sheet would display with different IE user agent string.
Regarding the user agent string changes, please take a check with the following article:
Introducing IE9’s User Agent String
The Internet Explorer 8 User-Agent String (Updated Edition)
Hope this may help

Unable to change document owner

Hi All,
I am trying to change document owner of Master Agreement via Contracts.xls file.
        I am getting below error:
        # Record 1. Warning: the item Rama Kishore referenced in column DOC_OWNER_USER could not be found
Also, I went through various posts and as mentioned in one of the post to assign "Document Owner" role using "user account.xls". But still I was not able to see this role in Security Tab of my user account.
Another post says to use a template with following fields
       # Field
       # CLASS_NAME
       # PARENT_EXTERNAL_ID
       # PARENT_UNIQUE_DOC_NAME
       # LOOKUP_PRINCIPAL
       # LOOKUP_COLLABORATOR_TYPE
       # LOOKUP_COLLABORATOR_ROLE
       # PRINCIPAL
       # COLLABORATOR_TYPE
       # COLLABORATOR_ROLE
       # REPRESENTING
       # USAGE
       # SILENT
       but it gives error:
       # Failed: object 1: The object referenced in column DOC_TYPE could not be found.
Please guide me on how to change document owner of an Master Agreement.
Thanks,
Saloni

HI Saloni,
Try to import the sample workbook with your Data which I have sent to your email id. While importing select the object type as Master Agreement. Also make sure the user which you are trying to update should be available in the System.
Let me know if it works.

Ad-hoc agent not found ??? :-(

Hi everybody,
I was trying to activate the workflow por PO Approval (1 step):
- Event Linking: WS14000089
- Agent Assignment: TS14007970
I assigned the agents without any problem, but.. when I want to test my config, I receive this error:
"Ad-hoc agent not found "
I have no clue about this =( I dont know if this behavior is due to a configuration or the abap guy modified the standard WF =(
Any idea ?
Thank you !
Diego

Diego,
As Pierre explained, the PO standard WF in SRM assigns agent dynamically in the WF.
You have to define the task as a general task to "allow" the WF to assign the right agent (purchaser's manager in your case).
In fact if you want yto define the approver yourself, use the n-level WF based on BADI for PO.

Ad-hoc agent selection

Our purchase req release workflow requires the creator to select the approver, ad-hoc agent selection seems to be the obvious option. I had a go using the 'Ad hoc: Include 'Select Editor' wizard, but it didn't work as hoped.
Could someone please take me through the major steps I should take using this function?
Many thanks,
Kathryn

I found the way.

Can anybody tell me whats Ad Hoc agent assignment ?

hi experters
Im learning WF now, and really get confused at Ad Hoc agent assignment , can anybody specify what is Ad Hoc agent assignment exactly? and whats the plus of Ad Hoc agent assignment ? when should i use it?
many thanks
wanlei

Hello,
It's for specifying an agent during the running of the workflow, because it's not known before the run who the agent should be.

Search documents by document owner?

Hi,
is there a problem with searching documents by document owner? The field is marked as an search field, but it does not work with any value you enter.
Best Regards,
Thomas

hallo Thomas - vielleicht kannst Du mit SQL anfangen...
SELECT
T0.DocNum,
T0.OwnerCode
FROM ORDR T0
WHERE T0.OwnerCode = [%0]
Du kannst auch OHEM Tabelle in dem SQL nutzen...

Authorization to Change Document Owner

What authorization do I need to change for a user to be able to change the owner of a document?

Hi Gordon,
We are not using Data Ownership. Can you be more specific in terms of where I change the Document Type authorization? This user has Full Authorization for General - Doc Settings and Sales-A/R - Sales Order. He still is not able to change the owner to himself on sales orders though. I look forwarding to hearing from you again.
Thanks!

How to find document owner

I have a document name called doc_imp in my database. i want to know under which user that document resides. how to find that

Hi,
It is very generic question with no details. Is your doc_imp ias a oracle object as or just part of data in a table.
For finding an owner for database objects you can use the following.
select owner, object_name, object_type from dba_objects where object_name = 'DOC_IMP';

More than one document owner

Hello all,
I've got another question for you regarding EP 5, SP 5, KM 5.0. I have a user who was asking if it's possible to have more than one person receive a feedback notification in the recent notifications iview.
I understand that the person who receives this notification is listed as the owner of the document. I can change the owner of the document by going into Settings -> Properties -> Miscellaneous from the details dialog box for the document. I tried adding more than one username in the owner box by putting them in with a delimiter between them. I tried a comma and a semi-colon but neither work. I also tried creating an LDAP group with the users who I wanted to be the recipients of the feedback and put that group name in the owner box for the document, but that didn't work either.
Has anyone done this before? Any suggestions on how I can get this done?
Thanks!

Yes, I understand that I must go into details -> settings -> properties -> miscellaneous, but what do I put in the box labeled 'Owner'?
Let's say that I have three users that I want to have as the owners of a document. The users are user1, user2, and user3. What format would I use to put them into the owner box? Would it be:
user1, user2, user3
or would it be:
user1; user2; user3
I've tried putting them in both of those ways, but it did not work.

Cannot Search on Sales Order Based on Document Owner

Hi,
When searching for a new Sales Order, if I complete the field 'Owner' and hit Find, nothing happens.
The field turns yellow in Find mode which suggests this field should be searchable.
Can this be changed ?

It is not true that The field turns yellow in Find mode which suggests this field should be searchable. In fact, all header fields will turn to yellow in find mode if your current cursor is on that field. But lots of fields are unsearchable. However, it will be a good idea to develop new version of B1 with more searchable fields than current ones.
Thanks,

Need Steps or documents to connect existing 10g agent to 11g oms

Hi All,
Just installed 11g oms on oel 5.5 linux and it runs good. We have several hp servers run 10205 agents and they are monitored by 10205 oms on window. We want to use this new 11g oms to replace the 10205 oms. How to make this 11g linux oms to find the 10g hp agents?
Has anyone known the steps to configure an existing 10205 hp agent to connect to linux 11g oms? Or generally the steps to modify an existing 10g agent to see the 11g oms?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Sorry my mistake.
You should
1.
Stop the Management Agent.
2.
Locate the emd.properties file in the Management Agent home directory:
AGENT_HOME/sysman/config/emd.properties
3.
Use a text editor to open the file and locate the REPOSITORY_URL property.
4.
Modify the value for the REPOSITORY_URL property so it references the new Management Service. For example:
REPOSITORY_URL=http://mgmthost2.acme.com:4889/em/upload
5.
Modify the value for the emdWalletSrcUrl property so it references the new Management Service. For example, if the new Management Service is on a host called mgmthost2.acme.com , modify the property as follows:
emdWalletSrcUrl=http://mgmthost2.acme.com:4889/em/wallets/emd
6.
Save your changes and close the emd.properties file.
7.
To ensure that the Management Agent is no longer holding any specific data or settings from the previous Management Service, delete all the files in the following directories:
AGENT_HOME/sysman/emd/upload/
AGENT_HOME/sysman/emd/state/
AGENT_HOME/sysman/emd/collection/*
AGENT_HOME/sysman/emd/lastupld.xml
AGENT_HOME/sysman/emd/agntstmp.txt
AGENT_HOME/sysman/emd/blackouts.xml
AGENT_HOME/sysman/emd/protocol.ini
Note that this action removes all user-defined metrics (UDM)s and custom changes to metric and policy collections.
Note:
You can use the emctl clearstate agent command to delete the files in the state directory.
8.
Restart the Management Agent.
