Dynamic deadlines

Is it possible to have dynamic deadlines? i try to put a xpath expression in
the box, but i receive the message that wf accepts only integer.
So, there is a workaround or another way to set a dynamic deadline?
Thank,
Alessio

Hi Alessio
I believe this may be fixed in the latest version of the User QPAC (haven't checked, just something I heard).
If that doesn't work for you, you could try our UserPlus QPAC.
For details of how this works, see:

  • How to set dynamic deadlines in ccBPM blocks?

    Is there any chance to set a dynamic deadline in a ccBPM block?
    My business case is that I receive messages which contain a "latest execution" date/time field. I need to take this value and set it as a deadline for the block in the business process.
    From the BPEL modeller I can see only fixed deadlines - but is there by any chance the possibility to set the deadline in a transformation step with a piece of java code (like f.ex. accessing/setting the dynamicConfiguration objects)?
    Any kind of help is much appreciated!
    Cheers!

  • Error in Dynamic deadline Latest end

    Hi Experts,
                      I am facing an issue while usind latest end deadline. I have to set deadlines based on manager level, I used the Leatest End deadline with expression. In a background methood I am calculating the date and time based on manager level. and passing this date and time to workflow. In the next step I am using these date and times in the latestend expression.
    Here I am getting an error " Error in determining the deadline." in GET_TIMESTAMP_VIA_EXPRESSION.
    I am using the reference fields are begda and sy-uzeit.
    Please suggest me how to overcome this issue.
    Regards.
    Ranganadh.

    Hi Pavan,
                  Thank you for the reply. I have changed the reference parameters as u suggested. but still  I am getting the same error.
    below I am giveng you the errors that displayed in workflow log. Please checkit out and let me know where I am going wrong.
    In the step history of the workflow log:
    Executed on                                                                                Error Message

       act_date = sy-datum + 30.
       act_time = '240000'.
    endif.
    swc_set_element container 'ACT_DATE' act_date.
    swc_set_element contaienr 'ACT_TIME' act_time.
    act_date and act_time are of date and time type references. and passing these values to WF.
    and in the leatest end I am using these variables.
    Please suggest me.

  • Deadline moniter - Dynamic latest start / latest end date and time

    Hi all,
    My requirement is to have the latest start and latest end time made dynamic. This is because each Personnel area or business unit has different requirements as to when they the notification and escalation to happen.
    For example -
    Business unit 1 wants escalation to happen after 5 days where as Business unit 2 wants escalation in 2 days itself.
    Any ideas here

    Hi,
    You can create a method in your BO to calculate the date for calculating deadline and pass it on to the workflow .....
    Calculate the date as per your requirement and later populate it in the deadline step using the EXP expression
    for eg. if you  have 5 days calculate the date as per 5 days and time 1 min etc...

  • XI3.0/SP19: Deadline Branch - Set time period dynamically

    Hi All,
    We need to receive the deadline period from an external system
    Is it possible to set the time period from an external value?
    Thanks,
    Ofer

    We had a similar request in a project of ours, and managed to make it work with the following workaround.
    Use a Fork Step with 2 branchs and in "necessary finished branches" option, set it to 1.
    In 1 branch, use the steps you normally would use in the block w/ deadline main branch.
    In the other branch, use a transformation step with a particular mapping.
    This mapping should be from the message you receive in "start process" receive step to any other target (you could create a dummy target message type or use the same message type of source message). In the message mapping, supposing you use target message = source message, just map all fields into the respective targets. In particular, in the field with the value you want to set to the deadline, use a UDF between the source and the target. Supposing the waiting interval is in seconds, use the UDF as:
    int delay = Integer.parseInt(a);
    try {
      Thread.sleep(delay*1000);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
      throw new RuntimeException("Error in waiting function.");
    This way you can have any time interval you want (including intervals shorter than 1 minute).

    Henrique.

  • How do I hide the display of empty dynamic fields in a PHP query

    I need help, I've spent the whole day on this, and I'm not getting any further.
    I am creating a simple blog, where articles can be added via a form in dreamweaver that uploads data to a mysql database.
    I have the following fields in the database:
    "title", "text", "image" "link" (and datestamp)
    The text, image and link fields can be left blank, so I have set their attribute to NULL, i.e. can be NULL
    to display this data, I have created a page and added a recordset that reads as follows:
    SELECT niklas.`date`, niklas.title, niklas.text, niklas.image, niklas.link
    FROM niklas
    the problem is some of the articles will only have text, some will have text and image, some only image.
    When I view the page, it shows me the images that are there, but when there is no image in that particular record, the page shows a blue question mark instead.
    What i want to do, is show only what is not null
    I cannot use the WHERE command, as this completley omits an entire record, if the one field is empty.
    Another problem I have is the link, as these are added through the form, and then stored in the mysql database, how do I display them dynamically so that they are active links to external web pages?
    I'm very new to this, and rather a slow learner, so simple help is really needed!
    please please help!! I'm really struggling and have deadlines fast approaching!
    Thank you in advance!
    xxx

    Determine the condition of the data where it's displayed on the page using if/else. Here's an example for the thumbnail:
    <?php
    // Show IF thumbnail is NULL
    if ($row_profile['thumbnail'] == "") {
    ?>
    <img src="image_not_found.gif" alt="No Profile Image Available">
    <?php
    // else show the thumbnail
    } else { ?>
    <img src="<?php echo $row_profile['thumbnail']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $row_profile['thumbnail']; ?>">
    <?php }
    // end if thumbnail is present
    ?>
    Do the same technique for any area that may or may not have data.
    Create a dynamic link like this:
    <a href="<?php echo $row_profile['website']; ?>"><?php echo $row_profile['thumbnail']; ?></a>

  • Erratic performance / missing footage with Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC 2014 dynamic links

    Hi all,
    I briefly touched on this amongst a host of other issues I has having while cutting my last project.
    Unfortunately I never heard anything from anyone regarding my issues with the Dynamic Link system.
    I had to bite the bullet and export (2-4K RAW) chunks of my last project, out of premiere using a Quicktime animation codec. This added an extra week to the post production process (which I did NOT get paid for).
    I'm also a bit frustrated because it pushed the project past the deadline. Though the client was understanding, they were far from thrilled and it reflects poorly on me.
    Anyhow. Project complete, on to the next-
    This time, I'm using mostly footage shot from an FS700 in AVCHD. I figured maybe the RED footage was somehow too much for the program to handle with my specs, however I am having the same issue as last time.
    I'll select a clip, or group of clips, go to replace with after effects composition, and sometimes they all make it, and often times they don't. The clips were shot within a couple minutes of one another and no settings were changed on the camera.
    I've noticed sometime's the media will show up in the timeline, but not appear on the monitor (as pictured below). Other times the name of the clip will appear in the comp, but there will be nothing on the timeline OR in the monitor.
    Never had this problem in CS6.
    Adobe or anybody, please help! This is absolutely killing my workflow, and costing me time and money.
    Here are my specs:
    I'm running Adobe Premiere CC 2014 v8.1
    Freshly installed Windows 7 Professional SP1 PC Desktop
    Freshly installed Samsung 1TB SSD running my OS and Adobe CC
    Intel Core i7-2600k CPU at 3.4GHz (8CPUs) - Watercooled
    16GB Ram (3gb allocated for other programs)
    Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 4GB GDDR5 - 3.40.62 Drivers installed
    Pulling media from 2x 3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM drives, striped at RAID 0
    In this case pictured the second two clips in the sequence linked into AE, but the first wont show up in my monitor.

    Thank You, Jim -
    Unfortunately that specifically did not work.
    Based on another comment sent to me, here is what did.
    In PProCC
    File > Adobe Dynamic Link > New After Effects Composition
    In AECC
    From that composition created from PPro, I imported the project (aep) initially created in AECC from another team member. Saved the file.
    Back in PProCC
    File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition
    Magic.

  • Issue in setting Completion Deadlines

    Hi All,
    We have a scenario wherein we need to set the deadline for completing a given task, and it is working fine. But the issue here is that I want to specify a completion deadline of say 1 day but it should not cont any weekends for calculating the number of days.
    The process should count only weekdays while calculating the deadllines, Is this achivable as a standard functionality? If Yes then  how otherwise we require some kind of custom code for this.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Arafat

    Hi Arafat,
    I guess that there is no "calculateWorkingDayOffset(start,end)" function that comes out of the box. Thus you'd need to create a EJB function and use it in your process. This way you can calculate a dynamic completion deadline and assign it to your task.
    Hope that helps / Best regards,
    Martin

  • Mapping column names stored in a table to one data table dynamically

    Hi everyone,
    Can someone help me - I am trying to import different file types (CSV, TXT, XLS) into a common table.
    The column mapping for the input files is mapped in a look up table - so file 1.txt can have columns order as 12345 while file 2.csv can have columns order 54321.
    How would I dynamically set up the correct mapping depending on which file I am busy with in my foreach loop. (an example would be much appreciated - I am relatively new to SSIS and have a deadline coming up)
    Thanks,

    Pretty sure not possible with available transformations...
    You can try script tasks/component and standardize the input file one by one by using a bunch of loops/if-else codes and collect your data into one table.
    Otherwise, you would need to create different connections/DF for each types of files.

  • Dynamic parallel approval workflow

    Hi all,
    I want to design a workflow where I have to send mails to different approvers. Here,the case with me is the approvers are selected dynamically & No. of approvers are also selected dynamically (at run time).
    I would like to know whether its physible or not. IF yes, any solution towards this will be helpful.
    Thanksin advance.
    Regards,
    Siddhesh Sanghvi

    I think the Actual_Agent container element gets populated only when someone completes the workitem. In your case you need to send the mail to the approver by using the same agent assignment you have used in that activity step. I hope you understand. If you use rule then ue rule in the deadline agent assignment also. You can also create a container element that populates the approvers in a task that is executed before nd use it in the deadline portion.
    Thanks

  • Dynamic actions in abap-hr?

    What is dynamic action?
    Why dynamic actions?
    Give me example for that.
    Regards,
    Thrimu

    Dynamic actions:
    Here, you control the initiation of actions when maintaining an infotype
    record. This can be the maintenance of an additional infotype record or
    performing a routine.
    For each action, you can determine whether it is always
    carried out when you change an infotype or a subtype or whether it is only
    carried out if you change certain fields.
    You can state whether the action is
    to be carried out for "Change", "Create" and/or "Delete" record.
    You can store the conditions for executing the action, for example, the comparison of
    the old and new value of a field.
    Finaly, you can also specify default values for a record that is to be created.
    Example
    When you create the infotype Contract Elements (0016), you predefine a
    period for the probation period. The system creates a date/deadline record so
    that you can invite the employee to an employee inteview.
