E Mail Notification in SAP MDM Workflow

Dear Experts,
We have a scenario regarding E Mail Notification, in which we need your inputs on the below issues:
1. We are able to maintain the list of users manually for Email Notify step, but we need to maintain the list of users as dynamically. So that it will be helpful in reducing the human errors.
2. We have to send Email only if there is a change or creation of records based on a value of a particaular qualified lookup link.
eg, A look up qualified link for regions which has possible values as "Region1", "Region2" and "Region 3". So we want that if a record gets created with "Region1" then only notification should be sent else no notification.
Please provide your solution on the above issues.
Thanks and Regards
Gaurav Kumar Sharma

Hi
Scenario 1:
I dont think we have an option of dynamic users list (based on Role) in e-mail notification but you can do one thing you can add multiple e-mail ids for a single user with a ";" seperator under users-> e-mail in console. please give a try and see if it helps.
Scenario 2:
Design a workflow which has Trigger Actions on Record Add,Record Update
Start -> Branch step -> (FALSE)Stop
->(TRUE) Notify -> Stop
In the branch step use the validation with the below code. This will take care of the notifiction when there is a Region1 added to the lookup table.
HAS_ANY_VALUES(Regions.Region.[Record], Regions [Region1] ) AND
LEFT(Updated Date,16)= LEFT(SYSTIME(0),16 )

SAP MDM Workflow

Hi,
I have written some SAP MDM Workflows.
Now, the email is not firing.
There is a setting to be done in .rhosts or in some particular
where you have to specify SMTP Mail Server.
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

Hi Kaushik,
For activating the Notification step in MDM workflows you have to make settings in the mds.ini file in the server folder location,where you have to mention the Smtp server taht you are using for sending the mails.
Bedsides this settings you will have to crete users in MDM console with their email ids so that they can receive mails acc from the owner of the workflow.
You will have to add the notify step in the Visio template and fill in the correct property details.
These settings should enable your mail services for the wf users.
The mail will be shooted in 1 sec to the desired user as the timeout default time is set to 1 sec however you can set this prameter,if the mail sending is failed due to any unknown reasons an error is loged but the sending is not redone.
Follow the below link to get a clearer idea o the same:

Extended Notifications for SAP Business Workflow

Hi expert,
i need your help!!
i have configured the "Extended Notifications for SAP Business Workflow" with the tnx SWNADMIN and this was successful. I can write emails, but i can read this only on SAP GUI with the tnx SOST. I don't receive email on my email-address.
can you say me, where is the problem?
Thank you in advance
marcel

Hi Marcel
Rope in your Basis Guy!
Basically, your Extended notif part is working fine..... emails reaching SOST is proof. Going out of SAP may need basis config.
What do you see, a yellow triangle or a red light in SOST?

SAP MDM workflow erroe while launching

Hi Experts,
I am using SAP MDM 7.1 (7.1.04.142).Whenever I am trying to launch a workflow I am getting this error
One or more records have following validation failures:
Invalid validation recordId(s) in val;idate field
Any help please
Thanks
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
As per this SAP Note: Workflow stop at Stop Check-in.
Are you using Check out at Start step in your workflow ?
So I would also suggest try to launch the workflow who is Owner of the workflow. May be that user has not right to launch the workflow.
Also check who can send next step in your Start step of MDM workflow, Owner/Launcher/Any user ?
For testing, Create a new record in your Data Manager then Add this record to Workfow job manually by right click on this record Workflows>Add to Job>workflow name and check are you able to complete this work-flow or not?

Diagnosis
This refers to an error in central status management.
Task status
The central status management connection at task level will only be supported from Release 3.0.
For this reason, no task status is available for statuses created before changing to Release 3.0, and status change is therefore also not possible.
Procedure
In the case of task statuses of notifications in releases prior to 3.0:
When you save a notification you can create a status for the tasks.
In the case of notification or task statuses for notifications from Release 3.0:
Please refer to your system administrator.

SAP MDM Workflow: Wait Step

Dear Experts,
We have a scenario to send an email for the created/changed records periodically/daily, but a single mail should be sent for all the records to the users.
And we think that we can make use of the Wait Step for this activity, but we are not getting the values for GM Time Field and Literal Time Field.
Thanks And Regards
Gaurav Kumar Sharma

Hi Gaurav,
You can also try this scenario:
1.Create two ports one for outbound and other for inbound.
2. Create a sydnication map which will trigger automatically at a specific time using MDSS which only synidcates the records which were created/updated on that day..... say material number
3. Use PI to pick the syndicated file and drop it in a inbound port which was created earlier.
4. Create a import map for importing the syndicated file use MDIS here, with a workflow for notification under configuration options.
5. Workflow design will be start (Check out)->Notification->Stop (Roll back) which triggers on Record import.
The above steps will help you to send notification of created and updated records in one mail using MDM.
Let me know if you have any questions.
regards

Approval Process within SAP MDM

Can SAP MDM workflow handle multiple approval process. Is MDM support looping mechanism?

Hi Rajesh,
If approver rejects the records then the workflow will go back to previous step also u can branch the workflow on the basis of approve/disprove i.e. if the records approve then to a step and if approved then to a default step by using Branch.The record will be in MDM .The workflow history can be seen in data manager.And to have a report u can make a application. The link shows hw to have the history.

Include an image in e-mail notification

Hello,
I would like to include an image (our company’s logo) in an e-mail notification generated with a workflow… do you have any idea about how I can do that?
Cheers

Its not possible - not even in R17. CRMOD has to start supporting HTML formatting for this to occur, as of now i have not heard when that is in the roadmap

MDM Workflow / E-mail Notification Issues

Hi Experts,
I am working on a client that is using the SAP Portal to kickoff a workflow to notify the requestor when creating a vendor (with the vendor number that gets created when it reaches SAP). They did have MDM 7.1 connected to an SAP 4.7 system. Now they are upgrading to ECC 6.0 and we're in the middle of unit testing. For some reason, the e-mail notifications are not working while our Dev environment is connected to ECC 6...not sure why. I've checked all of the workflows / roles / e-mails, everything is exactly the same as it is in 4.7.
Our workflow looks similar to this: requestor creates / edits a vendor through the Enterprise portal --> approver approves record --> record is sent to ECC 6.0 --> once created successfully in ECC 6.0, an email is sent to the requestor with a vendor number (if it is a vendor create) or and e-mail letting the requestor know the changes have been posted successfully to SAP.
I've checked the MDS.ini file for any kind of information that needs to be updated for being connected to this new environment...I can't see anything. Is there a different file on the MDM server with e-mail / server info?
Any clues as to why it may not be working in this new environment? I'm assuming pinging the server wouldn't do much good since it is still working in QA and Production, just not Dev where we are currently testing the 6.0 system.
Thanks for your consideration!
Nichole

Kanstantsin -
In response to your questions..
1)
Are you sure that your smtp server is working? It is workiing for Production in SAP 4.7, just not Dev ECC 6.0...so I am assuming it is working since it is on the same server.
What happen when you launch your workflow with e-mail notification(Did you get error message in your repository logs?) ?
Could you to send e-mail through it from your e-mail program? There was only one workflow that errored out out of approx. 20 due to e-mail. Most are stuck in workflow at 'check in and send e-mail to user'. The one that did have an error said "Could not send e-mail rc = 4294967284 MDM Server Error" Yet, there is nothing in the MDSS log...
If your answer -no, please check, launch, configure, install your smpt server. It must be installed, right? If it works in production...
If your answer -yes, go to step 2
2)
In mds.ini file in your repository block should be string like this :"Mail Server=your mail host name" It says Mail Server= (there is nothing there)...
Where your mail host name = your smtp server name, something like "mailhost.your_domain.com" or your smtp server IP adress
if that step is OK...I do not see this in the MDS.ini file...
3) load MDM console, login to your repository and check check your e-mail receiver (user) and it e-mail adress- Is it correct? Yes
4) load Data Manager - open Workflow and check user accessibility from your e-mail step. Everything Looks correct here also...

if any one have any solution for it , can you please explain me in step by step
Thanks in Advance
bharat.chinthapatla

Hi Bharat,
your steps seems to be correct. Just try to ping your mail server, to verify if your mail server is running up, besides note that mdm go throw port 25 for sending emails, so please check if you are able to send emails using port 25 in your network.

Vito

Is there a way to customize the MDM Workflow email notification content?

I am looking for a way to customize the MDM Workflow email / notification content. For example, I might want to put the Supplier ID(s) of the impacted supplier records (be it Update, Insert & Delete) into the email body or put an URL into the email body.
Can MDM Workflow do this?
Is there any workaround?
Thanks

Hi,
What you can do is add a boolean field to the repository, for instance "Send Mail". You can use an assignment in the Workflows to set this field to true. Next, define an updatelistener and pick up the change to this field. If the value is "true", send out an email. Afterwards, let the listener change the value back to "false".
Good luck,
Gerwin

E-mail notification - workflow

Could anyone help me to configure the simple email notification through Workflow? For example when new records are added then send an email to notify certain users that new records are added.
I am good with the notification step in the workflow but not sure what are the other configuration needed. Is there any email server configuration is needed?
Anyone can help me to list all the configuration steps for this?
Thanks
Mike

Hi there
Steps needed:
1. Mail server setting for enabling MDS to send emails. For this in the mds.ini file you need to add the mail server name and domain.
2. Define users in MDM with correct mail IDs active for the mail server defined in step1.
3. Use Notify step with users/roles which you have already done.

Ravi
