ELM Workflow

Hi All,
I am trying to upload and map data from ELM. When i select Start <i>Immediately</i> and save. I get this error message: "Task WS 14000029 not customized as a general task".
When i check the error message, i read as follows:
'workflow template WS14000029. The attributes of WS14000029 must be set
to General Task, otherwise the workflow cannot be started and the steps
cannot be processed.'
Any suggestions/help are higly appreciated.
Regards

You need to set WS 14000029 as a general task.
You may do the same via the following steps:
go to t.code OOCU
from the screen drilll down CRM --> CRM-MKT
now select CRM-MKT-EAL and click on Assign Agents.
Now click on CRM: Maintain Business Partner Package (name) | id (WS 14000029)
and click the attributes button from the application toolbar.
You will get a pop up. Select the Radio button General task. and click transfer

hi
you need not change the settings of the ELM workflow
you just need to activate it and plcae it as general
regarding you error
RFC destination WORKFLOW_LOCAL_010
just ask your basis guy to maintain this destination in SWU3
your dump will be resolved
see these are standard worflows ,you need not change the settings in normal circumstances

Error in ELM - Maintain BP - CRM_MKTLIST_STAGING013

HI all,
when i try to upload BP with ELM, SYSTEMS (CRM 7.0) show me the following error message:

If i deactive the bai, no prblem occurs.
someone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hello AGL,
Please check the workflow customising in SPRO , the Implement workflow Customising under ELM mentions the details of the
same.
If you check the documentation, it mentions " First of all, you must perform the Maintain Standard Settings for SAP Business Workflow. "
This can be done using the IMG path :
CRM -> Basic Functions
-> SAP Business Workflow
-> Maintain Standard Settings for SAP Business Workflow.
or by clicking in the link provided for ELM workflow documentation. Can you please complete these settings as they are essential for ELM to work.
If you have implemented the BADI CRM_MKTLIST_BADI, then adjust your BADI according to your requirement, also review note 708557
thanks
Willie

Regarding workflow settings

hi all
i have a simple query that i have created a workflow in sandbox and since a workbench request is generated so workflow is reflecting in other client
please tell me if i have to show the same workflow in production client do i need to do all the changes in that client like maintainence of table entries which i have used in my rules and methods i have created for the workflow.
for activating the workflow and event linking etc. all these changes will be maintained in production client itself or there is some other way else.

External List Management - Issue in File Upload and Map

I am facing problem while maintaining external lists through ELM and executing step upload and map file for a tab separated text format file.
The file data is getting shown properly in file preview through mapping format but when I execute it through external list the data is not getting uploaded at all.The log is not showing me any error or reason for the same.
I want to know apart from basic ELM config, is there some other configuartion required to enable ELM to upload and map the file in turn.

I got the resolution to this answer.
The issue was the task under ELM workflow was not marked for background processing and hence it was always in ready state and never proceeded ahead thru ELM transaction.All the steps due to this reason were shown in planned or ready state.
There was no error in ELM as everything in the system had no issues and hence nothing came in error log.

ELM Add BP Master Data Fields

Hi Gurus,
How can I add business partner (BUT000) master data fields (including custom fields) to Mapping Format in ELM???
Your prompt response will be highly appreciated and rewarde...
Cheers,
Peter J

Hi Naveen,
Both of your solutions were absolutely on point. It took little time as ABAPer was bit busy. Thank you very much for your assistance; you are rewarded with the max. Points...
The following are the steps to import and create "Prospects" via ELM
1. Prepare .csv file (keep stored on local machine)
2. Activate Customizing Workflow (follow C22 building block)
3. Use BADI - CRM_MKT_LIST to enhance the custom fields (via eewb) for filter criterion = Person. This BADI is filter dependent BADI (Mapping Format dependent)
4. Implement SAP Note# 915015 for importing into "Prospect" business role
5. Define List Type(s) and List Origin(s) in SPRO -> CRM -> MKT -> ELM
6. Create Mapping Format - Web UI (log on as MKT_Prof or Power_User -> MKT -> Create: Mapping Format)
7. Add Mapping Format to BADI: CRM_MKT_LIST - Attributes -> Define Filters -> Select you Mapping Format
8. Create External List (Web UI (log on as MKT_Prof or Power_User -> MKT -> Create: External List)- use the Mapping Format
Cheers,

ELM error in create TG

HI Guru
I am having issue with create Target Group while other steps have been executed successfully.
I have tried creating target group manually and it works fine. Can someone guide?
THe error that I get from ELM:
Usage does not exist
One or more errors occurred when the BAPI was called
No instance of object type MarketingProfileset has been created. External reference

Hi Lyn
Check that you have an External List Management "Usage" value configured in the ELM configuration under marketing.
Ensure you then use that Usage in the setup of your External List Management process.
Also check the Best Practice guide for the relevant Workflow for ELM to be activated

Error while deploying a workflow in OWB

Hi,
I am getting the below error while deploying a workflow in Control Center.
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.sql.SQLException: The file /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbhome_1/owb/bin/admin/rtrepos.properties cannot be accessed or has not been properly created on the server XXXXXX. If the file does not exist or if the database owner (normally user 'oracle') does not have the required file permissions or if the file has not been properly created then the file can be recreated by running the SQL*Plus script /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbhome_1/owb/rtp/sql/reset_repository.sql (in a RAC environment the file must be manually copied to each server which is used for OWB). Otherwise if using a 10.2 database instance, then please run the SQL*Plus script /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2/dbhome_1/owb/UnifiedRepos/reset_owbcc_home.sql.
Did any one faced this issue before?
Kindly let me know the steps to resolve the issue.
Thanks.

Hi Vidyanand,
Did you create the runtime access user using the runtime assistant? Did you select the correct runtime repository (if you have more) to associate your runtime access user with?
Note that there are 4 database roles being created when you create a runtime repository owner:
- OWB_A_<runtime repository owner>
- OWB_D_<runtime repository owner>
- OWB_R_<runtime repository owner>
- OWB_U_<runtime repository owner>
If you would grant those roles to a user, then that user becomes an access user for the user with username <runtime repository owner>.
Note that you can also use the runtime repository credentials to connect to the runtime repository for deployment purposes, but you may not want that because of security concerns.
Thanks,
Mark.

Questions on OCS and workflow

I am wondering whether I can configure the following:
- Can I have multiple views? Example, view documents by Author, Project, Category? Can I customize document
views?
- Can I control access rights on a single document?
- Can I monitor or extract a report on how often a document is accessed?
In addition, I have the following problems with OCS Workflow:
- The Workflow has no default email notification. Documentations indicated that Email Notification has to be configured to work with SendMail. Can Email notification be configured with OCS Mail instead?
It does not make sense to use SendMail instead of OCS Mail.
- Document can be viewed by Workspace members once it is uploaded. What is the purpose of workflow then?
- Document has to be manually submitted for review to initiate a Workflow process. Can this be performed automatically?
- WorkFlow approver is defined by the user. It should have predefined approvers.
- In Workflow notification, Notification Detail provides the URL but does not have a URL link back to the document. In this case, the review process is manual because the approver does not have an easy
way to preview the document.
Are my comments correct? Are there any workarounds?

Roger,
1) The default SPINCOUNT value is 0 (no spinning) for all platforms that are supported today. (At one time we had a default value of 5000 for Sequent hardware, but it has been many years since we supported that platform.) The SPINCOUNT value that will work best for any application depends on many factors, including the number of CPUs on the machine, the hardware platform, and the indvidual application. SPINCOUNT will only be useful when the machine has more than one CPU.
2) /Q logs Q_CAT:1447 after 50 unsuccessful attempts to obtain the semaphore when the semaphore has never been released and reobtained by a different process or the same process during that period. The Access Control List code uses the same rule for logging LIBTUX_CAT:1511. If TMSPINCOUNT is set, then the number of unsuccessful attempts to obtain the semaphore is incremented by 1 only after TMSPINCOUNT spins have been done.
Code for the BB semaphore and the semaphore used by /Domain follows a different rule. This code will log LIBTUX_CAT:5005 or LIBGW_CAT:5010 if a process has to wait for the semaphore for 10 seconds and the semaphore has never been released by the original owner during this time period.
3) TMSPINCOUNT is used for the BB semapahore, AOM semaphore, ACL semaphore, /Domain semaphore, and /Q semaphore. Locking the GTT uses the same BB semaphore that used to lock other tables in the BB.

Ed

How can I display a SP 2010 out of the box workflow's task assignees via powershell?

There are days where one of the 250+ workflows at the site has attempted to send email to someone no longer at the company.
I would like to find a way to go through the farm and display all the list URLs that have workflows, and the mail addresses associated to the workflows.
This way I can track down the workflows that need to be updated to remove the missing users.
I have started a bit of script to do this. In my script, I just had a site collection - I figured that if I can get that to work, then surely wrapping another loop for the rest of the farm won't be bad.
However, for some reason, I am not seeing the output that I expected to show the mail addresses.
I am hoping a different set of eyes might see what I am missing. It was my understanding that the AssociationData property was XML that contained information about the assignees for tasks, the carbon copy list, etc.
Maybe I misunderstood something that I read?
$outLoc = "d:\temp\wfdata.txt"
$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity "http://myfarm/sites/it/"
foreach ($list in $web.Lists)
$associationColl=$list.WorkflowAssociations
foreach ($association in $associationColl)
$association.AssociationData | Out-File $outLoc
$web.Dispose()
I want to thank you for the helpful tips that so often appear on this list. They help me when I am reading over old threads to figure out what to do. I am hoping that tips on this thread will likewise be helpful.

Hi,
With
SPWorkflowAssociation.AssociationData property, we can get the assignees’ information. Your script can
be able to retrieve a XML format data which contains the user name we need:
So the next step would be getting the user name by parsing the XML data we got.
The two links below will show how to parse XML with PowerShell:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2012/03/26/use-powershell-to-parse-an-xml-file-and-sort-the-data.aspx
With the user name, we can get the
Email property of an user with the scripts as the link below provided:

Creating a Role view in a workflow

Note: Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will attempt to resume at a later time

Dear all,
sorry for opening another thread on this.
I think I have a performance issue with workflows attached to document sets in SharePoint. And I say “I think” because people keep telling me that this is the way it just is.
The user creates a new document set, which triggers a workflow in which the user has to confirm/review/approve a series of tasks. The time it takes from clicking the OK button on those task form to the workflow status moving to the next step is about 4 seconds.
And visiting that status page within those 4 seconds brings up the infamous “Note: Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will attempt to resume at a later time.” message.
Hitting Refresh in the browser after those 4 seconds will make the new workflow status appear and the red text go away.
Is that normal? Is that the performance that everyone else is seeing as well?
I struggle to see why simply moving a workflow from one task to another should take that on a machine that isn’t doing anything else at the time.
(1)
I have a standalone (non-clustered) SharePoint box, 4 CPUs, 8 GB of memory, more than half of that available, acting as application server and wfe; only the database is on different box.
(2)
The CPU only goes up to 18 or 19%, so CPU does not seem to be the bottleneck. Half the RAM is also still free.
(3)
The workflow is designed with Nintex, and has about 9 flexi and review tasks – the last 2 of them in a loop iterating over typically 3 or 4 items.
(4)
Looking at the logs it looks like the processing in Nintex only takes about 1 second – I don’t know where the other 3 seconds are going.
(5)
There is nothing obvious in the logs.
(6)
We’ve looked at all the “theoretical” improvements around throttling and batch sizes etc. – none of them appeared make any difference. And the workflow is so small that it looks like my tasks gets executed straight away. The problem appears
to be that the execution takes too long(?) and therefore has not finished by the time the page get redrawn.
(7)
I am running perfmon and I can e.g. see one(!) workflow being loaded into memory – as expected as I am the only user.
(8)
I am seeing a total of 3(?) SQL queries being executed(?). I get the Bytes Sent/sec spiking at 25K, and Bytes received at 18K. But is this good or bad or a bottleneck?
Where do I take it from here?
I have been told that “[…] most customers have no issue with this as they are used to the way SP operates and it can be slow at times.” Is it really that bad?
If it is worth watching more performance counters then I’d need to know what to compare them to.
Is there something else I am missing?
Thanks
Martin

Hi,
Before considering an additional hardware try to change following configurations for workflow:
Increase Throttle Size
Increase Batch Size
Time Out
Workflow Timer Interval
AutoCleanUpDays
Increase Throttle Size
The Workflow throttle setting controls how many Workflows can be processing at any one time on the entire server farm. By increasing the throttle it will allow the number of Workflows execution or can be initiated at a time.
Use below PowerShell command to get the current Throttle Size:
Get-SPFarmConfig | Select WorkflowPostponeThreshold
Use below PowerShell command to set new Throttle Size:
Set-SPFarmConfig -WorkflowPostponeThreshold 100
Increase Batch Size
This is the size that determines number of events processed for a single Workflow instance. Default value is 100, but it can be range from 1 to any number.
Use below PowerShell command to get the current Batch Size:
Get-SPFarmConfig | Select WorkflowBatchSize
Use below PowerShell command to set new Batch Size:
Set-SPFarmConfig -WorkflowBatchSize 200
Time Out
This decides the time out of the Workflow event. The default value is 5 and can be any integer. The time is in minute.
Use below STSADM command to get the current Time Out value:
stsadm -o getproperty -pn workflow-eventdelivery-timeout
Use below STSADM command to get the current Time Out value:
stsadm -o setproperty -pn workflow-eventdelivery-timeout -pv “15″
Workflow Timer Interval
This setting is applicable at Web Application level and not the farm level. The workflow timer interval specifies how often the workflow SPTimer job fires to process pending workflow tasks. This interval also represents the granularity of delay timers within
your workflow. If a timer is set to delay for one minute, but the interval timer fires only every five minutes, the workflow delays for five minutes, not one minute.
Use below STSADM command to get the current Workflow Timer Interval value:
stsadm -o getproperty -pn job-workflow -url <Web Application Url>
Use below STSADM command to get the current Workflow Timer Interval value:
stsadm -o setproperty -pn job-workflow -pv “Every 10 minutes between 0 and 30″ -url <Web Application Url>
Here is the url for reference :

Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will attempt to resume at a later time.

I have SharePoint 2010 Enterprise running SP1. Configuration is one SharePoint server in the farm and a SQL 2008 R2 database for the backend. Our user environment is 80 users with very little load on the SharePoint server. I have the workflow timer
set to 1 minute.
I have a SPD workflow that starts manually on a form library. Whenever I publish a new version of the workflow, the next time I start the workflow it takes the full minute to finish. If I click on the workflow status before it finishes, I see the message
"Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will
attempt to resume at a later time.". After the minute completes the workflow finishes.
Here's the weird thing, the next time I start the workflow, it runs in a couple of seconds - almost instantly. I've tried up to 15 times after the inital publishing and everything seems to work fine on initiation.
Well, that would be fine for me, however, I intermintantly get this heavy load message during task processes that are running inside the workflow. It's probably less than 5% of the time. It's really frustrating though so I appreciate some help. I'm look
online and haven't found anything that describes my situation.
Thank you in advance!

FM to read the different steps in workflow and the status at each step

Hi All,
Is there any FM in SAP which gives the detail roadmap of the steps taken in a workflow and the diffrent status or decision at each step.
I am looking for something like what you see when you click on the "STARTED WORKFLOW" in the business workplace outbox.
Which shows up the "steps in the process so far " and the decision and the agents for each of them.
Thanks,
Charan.

Hi,
You can get the status according to the task. please check with FM "SAP_WAPI_GET_WI_DELTA".

There are two ways to look at what error the PLSQLBLOB API is throwing.
1) Call your PLSQLBLOB API GNE_PO_CREATE_FILE_ATTACHMENT.Gne_Create_File_Attachment directly from a PLSQL block and verify that it returns the BLOB data successfully.
You could also call another WF API that in turn executes the PLSQLBLOB API internally. For example,
<pre>
declare
l_document blob;
l_doctype varchar2(240);
l_aname varchar2(90);
begin
dbms_lob.CreateTemporary(l_document, true, dbms_lob.Session);
-- 207046 - This is the notification id of your failed workflow
-- PO_REPORT - Document type attribute
-- 'text/html' - Content Type being generated for
Wf_Notification.GetAttrBLOB(207046, 'PO_REPORT', 'text/html', l_document, l_doctype, l_aname);
-- Print the size of the document here to verify it was fetched correctly
end;
</pre>
2) Turn on log for SYSADMIN user with following attributes.
Log Enabled = TRUE
Log Level = ERROR
Log Module = wf.plsql%
Restart the Workflow Deferred Agent Listener and Workflow Notification Deferred Agent Listener and run your workflow process. Search for log messages written for above context and you can identify the error at wf.plsql.WF_XML.GetAttachment module with message starting as "Error when getting BLOB attachment ->"
Hope this helps.
