Duplication of workflow, transport of workflow

Hi All,
In an application we use workflows for certain procedures.
We have workflows that are almost alike to each other. These we have to build one by one nbecause it is impossible to duplicate a workflow. (the function is greyed out).
Second. As we go from one environment to the other we use export repository but helas, the workflow is not exported. Is the only way to transport using archiving and unarchiving?
thanks in advance for your help
Harrie

Hi,
1. is it impossible to duplicate a workflow?
Ans:yes, till now in SP05 we dont have this functionality.
2.Is the only way to transport using archiving and unarchiving?
Ans: Yes, you are right. only archive and unarchive is only way to export repositories over the systems like:
development>quailty>production.
Pls reward if found helpful.
i think we are still on sameissue as Amol give steps, this is not the actual duplicate.
Duplicate always means to have same things in your record,
if you are changing names then how it remains dulicates.

Workflow duplication

Hi there, we are currently experiecing a probelm of duplication of workflows fomr tme and agin. ?Is thereanyone who knows what i can look at in trying to analyse this problem, or of an OSS note that is available.
Pat

Hi Pat,
regarding your description of the behavior and the fact that one workflow is triggered by the system and one by you I would kindly ask you to check the entries in transaction SWE2 for object DRAW.
Please see the SAP note 1035333 which should be useful for the mentioned issue.

Error while transporting TP in production server in workflow

Dear All,
I have done some workflows . It is working fine in development in quality but in production while TP transporting it is showing error like ' Temporary log /usr/sap/trans/tmp/TP number not found'. why this error is coming ?
Please guide m . Its urgent.
Regards ,
Shital

Shital,
Do you transporting those requests into PRD as Developer?
I think it is basis related issue, did you had any word with SAP basis person.
Any ways could you send long text when it is giving this error.
May be some sequencing issue in PRD?
Cheers

Error while transporting the workflow object

Hi all,
Please be informed that while i transported the workflow changes to test system i encountered the sy-subrc 8 error as stated in below screen shots.

Hi Ranjith
Seems that the transport error is showing that your ID has locked the Workflow (user REDDYRAN).
Can you do a syntax check of the workflow transported in this transport - in pftc and swdd? Do we get any error?
Also see if you can execute FM SWD_WFD_REPLICATE_FROM_9999 in Quality (in SM37) - provide the IM_TASK = WSxxxxxxxx (your workflow number).

Error in transporting WF workflow task

Hello,
I face an error when moving WF workflow task from Dev to QA.
System is 4.0B.
The QA transport log shows (errors in bold):
Subsequent processing RH_ACTIVATE_PDOBJECT_AFTER_IMP for PDWS T started at 20:23:01
Time... 20:23:02 Run time... 00:00:01
Start activation of object WF 91000095 (client: 100) 202302
Error while activating
Time... 20:24:00 Run time... 00:00:58
Errors occurred during post-handling RH_ACTIVATE_PDOBJECT_AFTER_IMP for PDWS T
Post-handling RH_ACTIVATE_PDOBJECT_AFTER_IMP belongs to development class SP00
The errors affect the following R/3 components:
 BC-BMT-OM (Organizational Management)
In QA, the new version of the WF - created and activated in Dev - does not appear at all. I checked OSS Note 138411 - Collective note: PD Transports and OSS Note 88180 - Error during import postprocessing (Org.unit) but they didn`t help.
In Dev, the new version of the WF was saved and activated and manually inserted in a customizing request from tr. PFTC. The transport included object R3TR TDAT PDWS with entries for HRP, HRT and SWD_* tables, with records for the WF task.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Krisztian

Hi Ravi,
WS and TS tasks are recorded in changes, only the WFs and Ts are not. This is because some Personal Development objects are not to be transported, hence automatic transport connection for these is deactivated in IMG. Since WFs and Ts are considered as PD objects, the automatic transport is deactivated for them as well. For WFs and Ts manual transport is available in PFTC.
This is unfortunate but this is how it`s set.
On the other hand, version management is not something that works too well for workflows anyway (at least in 4.0B). You can`t see the differences in two separate versions like you would in a program. And in WFs and Ts you are able to generate versions just like for WSs and TSs for version management. So from my point of view manually transporting WFs and Ts are not the issue. But I may be wrong...
Nevertheless I activated automatic transport connection and did a change in Dev like that. The transport created was moved to Acc, but still same problem...
So I`m running out of clues.. maybe I just overlooked something...
Thanks
Krisz

Issue Transporting Business workflow from one System to Another

Hi All,
As there are many limitations in Import/Export of Workflow I'm going for a Transport of Workflow from one sytem to another.
There are some query's reagrding transporting of the Business Workflow through Transport Request.
1)   How can get the Transport Request no. of the Workflow to be transported? (As there are no direct versions displayed from menu).
2)   If there are any dependent objects first how to find the dependent objects lof workflow like if any data element, Domain, Table, Structure (if these objects are used in your WF definition or may be BOR method), Function module, function group BOR, Rule, WF template, task and Task assignment ?
3) How to get Transport Request no. of such dependent objects specifically The Task,Rule , WF template etc.?
4) I have object Type ZBUS2081 related to it how can i get its TR ?
Please describe as I'm new to workflow.
Please identify if there can be some issues after transporting workflow .
Regards,
Ujjwal

Hi Ujjwal,
Please find the below hint's.
1. Regarding the objects included in the Transport request check the Tables - E070*.
2. For dependent objects, you should check the workflow template. You have to check all the Task's and in the task go to
   utilities ---> Object directory entry --> Lock overview . Here you can see the request. It will show you the current request for    the Task.
3. To get the TR for Business object, Go to basic data ---> Transport data --> Here you can see the Request ID for the business object.
Thanks,
Viji.

How can I add a User to the transport workflow

Hi all,
I want to add one user to the transport workflow in BW Dev system? How can I do it, PLEASE.
Thanks.

Hi,
Check this if you can reset the workflow if the configuration of old user get damaged instead of creating a new one.

Problem in transporting workflows

Hi,
There are some workflows already existent in the QA system. I try to make some client specific changes to the workflow template and one of the tasks and after Im done. I try to create a new request to send across the changed wf template and the changed task. I am not sure how to do that, can anyone help me
Regards,
Sukumar.

hi Satish,
Don;t know on which sap version you're on. But ther should be an export/import from xml option in the menu of the wf builder (pftc, click in template then worklfow builder button). I've never tried this before, so I don't know if this works.If you're trying to create a "custom" transport in which create the keys manually. Then I advise you to first create/change a WF-template in dev and look up what entries are in the transport and use these tables with your own key to create the import.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

How to transport changes made on Workflow Template to other cleint

We have make changes to Workflow template via tcode PFTC_CHG (Change Task), with workflow builder screen, we make changes on the standard task, work item text etc, save the changes to workflow template WS90000XXX. However the changes we make is not save under a Transport Request number.
How to make the changes on workflow template to save under a transport request and transport it to other client. ?

Hi Eric,
All development and customization of workflwo are saved in a transport request.
If while making the changes it did not prompt you for a TR then check the TR in whcih the task was created.
To port TRs follow the below procedure:
1. Go to t-code SCC1.
2. Select the transport request number and enter the source system (client)
3. Click on 'Including Request Subtasks.
4. Click on button 'Start immediately'
This would port the TR.
Please note to port workbench TRs before the customizing TRs.

Saumya

Transporting a role from DEV to QAS in a Workflow

Hi,
I assigned a Role as the possible agent for a std task in DEV. I transported from DEV to QAS, first the Role (where I see the Std. task to which it is assigned and the corresponding WF template in PFCG for the role) with a Customizing Req. and then transported the WFlow template & associated std.task with a WBench TReq.
The transport is successful without any errors.
But, when I see the agent assignment for the task in QAS, the role is gone. Also, When I see the role Maintenance PFCG for this role, I don't see any WFlow tasks in the Workflow tab.
I tried to trasport this sequence(first role and then the wflow & std. task associated with it) twice, but in vain.
Can somebody pl tell me what's going on with the transport of the roles(that should include the wflow tasks & templates).
Thanks in advance
venu

Mike,
Infact I did first time transport in the sequence of WB req and then Cust. Req. It didn't help and then I tried the other sequence too.
And Could you tell me how to look into the WF configuration of the system to see if it is set to transport the Roles?
Actually, i tried transporting 3 roles under one Cust. Tran.Req, but only one Role got transported correctly and the rest two have been failing.
Pl. tell me if I am doing it correctly...
thank you
venu

Transporting a workflow from DEV to Prod

Hi all expert,
thanks for your help in solving my issue .. that was awesome guys. Now I stuck with transporting the workflow that i have made from development system to production system. I have tried using regular transport request, and the workflow number exist but no active version available. So I cannot using it. Any suggestion on something that might have been forgotten?
thank you in advance for your help
regards,
david

Hi David,
I hope you configured the SWU3 in Production as well.
Then in Production check the syntax error in your workflow template using CTRL+F2.
During the transports, sometimes some containers may missing.
If there is no syntax error, then in Development create new version and activate the workflow again and do the transport again.
Before transport, do a buffer sync using transaction SWU_OBUF.
Thanks,
Viji.

Best Practice to transport MDM Workflows trough a 3-tier Landscape

Hello Experts,
I wanted to ask you for some Best practices to transport MDM Workflows from D-to Q/P?
Well besides the Archive/Unarchive method because we want to keep the Data of P in the repository
and do not want to import the whole.
Any ideas? Points are for sure!!
Best regards
Carsten

Hi Carsten,
Currently with the MDM 5.5 version the only transport mechanism that will allow you to export your Workflows from the development server to the Production or Quality is the Archieve/Unarchieve method.
but this methods archives the data as well along with the workflow.There is no such method to exort the workflow alone.
But with the onset of the MDM 7.1 there are new transport mechanism included and hopefully they address this issue.
A work around that i can think of at this moment:
- If you have your development server as your Master rep and the Production server as your slave
- Then you can call the workflow from the D to the P.If you do not have any data presntly in the dev.
- and then Normalize the Productions server to make it an individual master rep with its own data.
I am not sure how well this solution will help but just a suggestion....
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

Workflow Approval for CTS+ for NON ABAP Transport

Hi
We have a NW Portal system currently using CTS+ for transport.
We would like to incorporate a workflow approval for transport across the different landscape (DEV -> TEST -> QA -> PRD) with CTS+. The workflow approval would work in such a way that when someone approves a transport request from DEV->TEST, the Basis Admin will then perform the import to TEST. So this approval will also be needed from TEST -> QA and QA -> PRD.
Does Solution Manager provide such workflow approval for NON ABAP transport?
I do hope anyone has such experience to share.
Thanks.
Regards
mike

Hi Mike
Yes solution Manager CHARMS or Change request managment functionality uses CTS+ to move the Non ABAP requests
it uses IBASE as identifier for systems and for more can search sdn
check this link too

Hope it helps
