DW + Contribute. Draft approval + links

Tried a post in the Contribute forum, but it's a ghost town
over there.
I will try to be brief. I have a site where one person has
DW, 3 others have Contribute. The site is an Intranet. There are
many links in the pages that go directly to a .doc or .xl file
somewhere on the network.
When a contribute user makes a change and publishes a page,
stupid Contribute copies the linked files to the server! No pop up
to say "no, leave them alone" as in Dreamweaver. The client can't
have it that way, they need the original files linked to, not
copied, then linked.
So, two things:
1. Does anyone know of a way around this?
2. Is there any way for a Dreamweaver user to upload drafts
of pages without buying Contribute too?
Any suggestions short of me losing a client for life?

It is a setting within your site definition. I assume thought
that you are using DW8. I think it was in the same place on mx04
and mx, but I do not remember(it has been a while).

Approval links not appearing in approver's outlook mail box

Friends,
I am facing a problem with the approval mails of shopping carts to approvers. The approval links in the outlook mails are not appearing -
Error is :
Document contains errors. Log on to the system to process the document
- Approval or rejection via e-mail not possible
The shopping cart has been approved by 1 approver and awaiting approval by the next approver , who receives the approval mail but the approve/reject link is not appearing in the mail.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
sparsh

Hi,
Check whether the deafult printer has been mainatined for that approver user and also the FORWARD WORKITEM attribute has been checked in the org structure in PPOMA_BBP.
if you are using program RBBP_NOTIFICATION_OFFAPP to generate offline approval email.. if yes then select checkboxes HTML text and approval links.
See this thread for more details:

Accept Changes button visible in Approval link but not in Check Status

Dear Experts,
We are on SRM 4.0 .
After a SC is rejected partially the requester can see the SC under Check Status link with the status In Your Inbox
When the user clicks on the Detail icon, there is only CHANGE button but when the user clicks on Approval Link
he can see Description as 'Your Shopping Cart xxxxxxxxx was change/rejected in part.Please Check' and when he click on the Detail icon there are two buttons at botton Accept Changes and Change .
Why is the Accept Changes button not there in detail display of SC under check status link?
Thanks,
Anubhav

Hello,
This is the standard behaviour of SRM4.0.
When a SC has been partially rejected the the SC goes to the requestor approval inbox. Requestor can either accept the change or he/she can change the SC and order again.
If requestor accept the change that means requestor has been accept the rejection, so requestor will not be able to create the PO for that line item. He/she needs to change the SC depending on the approval note and order again.
Check status transation is used for check the status of the shopping carts. Due to that reason the Accept change button is not exist there.

Anindya

When approving a PO through SRM inbox, the 'Back to Approval' link ismissin

When approving a PO through SRM inbox, the 'Back to Approval' link ismissing

The issue that you have reported is not a bug, but a strandard. Once the
application is integrated to the Portal, the navigation between screens/
transaction is handled differently and should not be compared to ITS.
In EP, you will have to use the Portal's 'Back' button to navigate back.
Please refer to note # 933450 as the correction is the same for this
issue also.
The link has been removed because navigation in EP is handled
differently as compared to ITS. In EP you use the EP's navigation and
not ITS links like ('Back to Sourcing') or ('Return to Change Version')

Sales Order - Draft[Rejected] and Sales Order - Draft[Approved]

Hi,
I am using SBO 2004B.
I want to check through my VB6 code, if a Sales Order document is a normal Sales Order or it has been through approval system and is in Sales Order - Draft[Rejected] or Sales Order - Draft[Approved] status.
How can i do that?
Thanks.

Hi Satish,
The document drafts are saved in the ODRF table. The WddStatus field in the table (ODRF and in all other document tables, like OINV, ORDR, etc.) shows the authorization status of the document. Valid Values are
- Without Authorisation (Normal Transaction)
W Pending
Y Approved
N Rejected
P Generated
A Generated By Authorizer
C Canceled
Let me know if it helps...

ByPass Approve Link in Workflow Steps

Hi. My name es Jorge.
I need to enable the option "ByPass Approve Link" for steps action in a Criteria Workflow.
In Oracle UCM Documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e10978/c05_workflows.htm#CIHFBGEJ) said the link appears in Workflow Actions as default for users who has Read permission, but doesnt it.
Please, if someone knows how to enable this link. Its urgent.
Thanks

Sorry, this functionality is a potential customization to the product, and not out of the box functionality. That is how the link referenced earlier actually presents this scenario.
4.8.6 Other CustomizationsMany workflow customizations are available through Consulting Services. This section briefly describes two of those customizations. Please consider engaging Oracle Consulting Services for a thorough evaluation of the impact associated with the replication of workflow examples.
The following customizations are discussed in this section*:
Setting Approval by Non-Reviewers
Automatic Replication of Workflow Items
Triggering Criteria Workflows from Folders
Suppressing Workflow Notifications

Draft PDF link not working?

OK, this is happening now for someone using both Contribute CS4 and Contribute CS3 (we're also using the Contribute Publishing Server, if that matters).
We've tried sending a PDF as a draft to someone else by using the "Send File from My Computer" option. The PDF is listed in the Draft Console, however, nothing happens when one clicks the link (it's like the Draft Console just reloads) and there doesn't appear to be any way to approve, delete, etc. the draft PDF that we were sent.
If I right click on the link, and do copy, I get a link like http://www.example.com/MMWIP/f42d9d462bb09f15/6620e8ceca42d429.pdf (which I guess isn't surprising since it's a draft). If I copy it into a regular browser, I get the PDF that we uploaded for review so I know it's there, but if I paste it into contribute, I just return to the Draft Console.
Any ideas about what might be going on here? Apparently it was working on Contribute 3.11, which is the version that the person using CS4 had been using. Most sites are administered by me, who is using CS3. I don't know if that might cause any problems or not.

The workflow of the drafts have been changed in the newer version (from CS4) of Contribute. To know more about the new workflow process, please refer to Assigning workflow & drafts review process.
Since the draft workflow had been enhanced,
a) The draft created and send for review/edit/publish from CS5 (/CS4) to the user using CS3, will not receive the draft.
b) The draft created and send for review from CS3 to the user using CS5 (/CS4), the user will receive the draft, but will follow the CS3 draft review process, not the new review process.
If this is not the case, please check by sending the PDF to the same user.

Document Approval - Link in Email not working

Hi
I am using the approval function for KM documents.
When a content item is changed, and submitted for approval, the approver gets an email.
In that email there is two links, one to the content item itself and one to the details of the content item.
The one to the details of the document does not work!
The host name seems to be missing in the url.
The one to the content item itself works fine.
I do have set up the hostname in:
System Administration->System Configuration->KM->CM->Global Services->Url Generator Service.
that points to the content item.

A colleague of mine recommends looking here:
Ya, it is unsder systemadmin > sys config > KM > config > CM > Global Services > URL Generator Service.
There is a value for "host" and there which should be "http://(orhttps://)portalserver:servport

Approval link throws 404 error

Hi,
I am running EP6 SP2 patch 5, CM patch 5. I have CM setup to show news items anonymously. When one clicks on the approval email that is sent with the link to the item it throws 404 error saying that the document is not available. The item is there but is not available for everyone. It doesn't give the login page as news items are setup to be displayed anonymously.
Is there a way to prompt for login without losing the anonymous access by changing the url generation configuration in email to generate URL that asks for a login page or some other way
Thanks
Kiran

Hi.
How can i reproduce it?.
Did you login/logout before/after access to your externalId navigation?.
It could be a WebCenter View Handler bug. I asked to you if it is 11.1.1.4 because there is a bug with it in this version. I don't know if PS4 have similar issue.
You have a sample code to extend WebCenter View Handler in Andrejus Blog (code of Oracle Support): http://andrejusb.blogspot.com.es/2011/04/practical-guide-for-oracle-webcenter.html

Contribute 3 email link problem

The link to my email address is not working on my website it
says "default mail client not properly installed".

This probably had nothing to do with Contribute, but more
with your computer config. What email-client do you use and that is
the default client? Are the account-settings OK?
Check if the mailto:[email protected] is OK yourself by
looking at the source code of the page or the link properties in
Contribute.

Approval link in NewsExplorer iView

Hello
I want to create approval process in my news. What I want to do is avoid the use of the folder trees to provide more user friendly approval process.
I´d like to add a link saying... approve into the NewsExplorer iView to the users that have approval rights.
Is this possible??

Hi Fernando,
Try adding the below command in the News explorer layout set > collection renderer settings> Displayed properties.

Approval link for support package downloads

Hi,
I recently came to know that SAP provides a link for approving the support packages that were added to the Download Manager without the need for a Solution Manager system. So we can get the latest SPs without Solution Manager also.
What is the process to get the link?
Thanks in advance,
Abdul

Hi Abdul
For Patches for NW2004s released after 2nd April 2007 a Solution Manager system is a prerrequisite. I guess you are referring to a SAP internal procedure that is not released for customers.

Same number of work flow entries under "Approval" link for each user

Hi All,
We are implementing SRM 5.0 .
The problem we are facing is that when we test the service BBPSTART , the number of work flow entries in the inbox for all users is same .
We created a new user on SRM and tested BBPSTART with this user...it shows the same number of work flow entries in the inbox..
What is the problem?
Thanks & Regards,
Anubhav

Hi Masa,
SPRO->SAP Reference IMG->Supplier Relationship Management->SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->SAP Business Workflow->Activate Standard Taks
Activate Standard Tasks
In this activity, you start a background report that defines certain tasks within the workflows of Enterprise Buyer as standard tasks. Any user can perform standard tasks, such as "Approve User Master Record". You use the workflow definition to narrow down who can actually perform the task. For example, in the case of approval of user master records, this depends on the organizational unit to which the new user master record belongs.
You must perform this activity during the initialization of the Enterprise Buyer system, otherwise the SAP Business Workflow cannot determine who the approver should be.
Is it somehow related to my problem?

Anubhav

UWL issue - Approva link

Hi Portal Experts,
We are facing issue in UWL, Manager is getting various workflow request in UWL but when he selects any Leave request, Loan request etc.. then system displays new screen but no data is displayed...
We have created custom applications also and its working properly for custom application...
why UWL is not working for standard applications.
KIndly suggest solution...
Thanks
Puneet

Hi Punnet,
Check for the SWFVISU transaction for the task entries for the Leave and Loan request application. I hope the Loan request is WD java so the XML file must be altered in such a way the java appoval works here.
So check for the com.sap.pct.erp.mss.addon xml file.
