Enter message in User Decision Step
Hi,
I am developing a workflow, I have a requirement wherein before the user takes decision and clicks on the buttons say 'yes' or 'no' , he should be able to enter a message, is there any standard object type or method which opens up a dialog box for this??
Thanks in advance
Hello Divya !
I suggest to design workflow such that the user enters message after taking the decision either "yes" or "no".
Any way, if you want to design the workflow such that the user should be able to enter the message before taking decision, create a method in your business object.In the method, call the function module CATSXT_SIMPLE_TEXT_EDITOR.Inscribe this method in a task step.As per your requirement, this task step should be maintained before the user decision step.
If the user should enter message after taking the decision, maintain this task after the user decision step.

Looping a single branch in User Decision Step
Hi All,
Can anyone tell me is looping possible for a single branch in user decision step in a workflow?
If yes, How?
I want like to loop the step cancel and keep workitem inbox.
Whenever the user clicks cancel and keep workitem in inbox in a user decision and again executes the WI i would like the workflow to start execution from the step just above the user decision step, i.e; Display PR.
This is my requirement. Tell me how can i implement it?
Thanks,
RajHi,
instead of doing so, you could try to enter that method as "secondary method" or "before method" within the tab-strip "Methods".
If you used your own coding for a decision, you could enable the exception 8015 of the method's result, which is the cancel-button. If you did so, you can enable that outcome in the workflow-activity's definition.
Best wishes,

Need 2 Multiline elements for user decision step
We are on SAP R/3 Enterprise version.
I have this requirement to find agents based on the agent type and work center field. So I created a responsibility rule for each type of agent type. The responsibility rule is keyed on the work center, and HR positions are mapped to each responsibility rules work center field.
We have 50 agent types/responsibility rules, 60 work centers, and 1 or more positions for each agent type and work center combinations. Due to the total number of positions, I prefer to use 1 responsibility rule per agent type for ease of maintenance.
I have a FM that reads the responsibility rule based on the agent type and work center field and retrieve the agent_list. I used this FM/method/step prior to my user decision step and pass the agent_list to the UD step via container.
In my user decision step, the Other tab does not have Multiline element for me to enter my agent_list. So I cannot use &agent_list[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]& in my user decision agent assignment expression field.
In my last job, we have SAP ECC 5.0, the UD step has a Misc tab that has Multiline element, but our current SAP R/3 Enterprise version does not have Misc tab, it only has Other tab.
Question:
1. How do I use [&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&] without Multiline element for agent_list in UD step?
2. I have to use the same way to retrieve my LED_agent_list as well, so I need 2 Multiline elements in my UD step. But normally in Other tab, it allows you to define only 1 Multiline element. How do I get around this restriction?
3. My last resort is to use 1 responsibility rule, then I can use the rule in the agent assignment. If that is the case, is there any limit on the number of entries in the rule?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have requirement.PI is reading data from source and after transformation sending one mail to approver .If Approver approves it then messgae will be sent to target system.For approval and rejection ,I am using user decision step in BPM.
My question is if approver approves reqest in 15 days ,then what will happen in SXMB_MONI,Will the message got failed?PI should not be used for such scenarios.
The User Decision step in BPM is merely thought for PI admins, if a message should retried or skipped. Not for end-users.

Dear Experts,
I have requirement to add a note in user decision step to allow the user to enter comments while approving or rejecting workitem in UWL. I have enabled the note using XML file. I read that this comments will be captured in workflow container element attachobjects. My requirement is to send the comments entered by approver to initiator via mail. Please let me know how to capture the comments from UWL note to send mail step.

BharathHi Rick,
Thanks for your reply.
I have got the attachments in container element attachobjects. Can you please tell me how to get the text entered by the user from this step because currently I have SOFM instance in hand. I am not sure how to convert this to some form and extract the user comments alone. Are there any FM that can help to do this.

Container variables in User decision Step in BPM
Hello,
I am using User decision Step in BPM.
When i use only text in "Title for Display" the BPM is activated successfully and Status in SXI_CACHE also shows 0.
If I use container variables in "Title for Display" the BPM is activated successfully but status in SXI_CACHE shows 99.
It shows the below error
"Problem updating an integration process with object ID 073AF2C620F43E839B2903344DEE29BB. Symbol 'CE/KO' expected at position 1 in expression ''
Please suggest.
Thanks,
ShabariHi Shabari, did you follow the steps for declaration of variables as in [SAP help for user decisions|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/42/c2a19fb4511d65e10000000a1553f6/content.htm]? How did you define your variable?
Maybe discussion [in this thread|BPM activation Error in SXI_cache; can help, it is unanswered though.

Link in User Decision step not showing correctly in UWL
Hi SAP Experts,
I have a requirement to add a link in a user decision step, this link triggers a custom webdynpro for additional input. When I access the workitem from Business Workplace, the link is showing fine. But when I execute the workitem in UWL, the link is not displayed, instead the code is shown (<a>...</a>). Please advise on what I should do to have the link working. Thanks in advance.Hi,
This same thing was just recently discussed. I just cannot find the thread anymore (well, in that thread there was not really any solution). Basically the hyperlinks in work item do not seem to work in UWL as they should. I don't know if there are any way to make them work. My suggestion is to not use the hyperlink at all and replace that with an action (=button) to the task in the UWL. This can be achieve quite easily by simple XML configuration in portal. If you have worked with UWL this should be quite straightforward for you, or if there is a consultant at the site, who is familiar with UWL, this should be simple for him/her.

SOFM in user decision step - provide reason in UWL
Hello Everyone,
I'm working with a customer who wants to use a user decision step and add a reason for the rejection only. This step will be executed in UWL - since UWL doesn't support syncrhonous dialog chains, it can't be implemented by adding another step with SOFM. I have seen the 'template with attachment' in the user decision step, and have tried binding SOFM to the Reference in the container, but the user doesn't have the option.
Perhaps this could be implemented with a secondard amodal method - which checks the user decision code and only implements if the decision was rejected. I'd like to be able to put a condition on the secondary methods.
If you've done something like this, please let me know!
Regards
GingerHi Ginger,
Unfortunately it is not only synchronous dialog chains, but also secondary methods that are not supported in the UWL, so you're stuck both ways.
Though, I have been told that the latest SP does support some kind of advance with dialog functionality (SP15 I think?).
At one customer we used a custom ABAP-based decision step which executed in a wingui session - thus synchronous dialog chains worked as long as every subsequent step was wingui based (which SOFM.CREATE obviously is) - worked quite well.
Let me know if you need more info.
Cheers,

User Decision step- Upon reject, auto-popup text for reason
In a user decision step, when the user clicks the reject button, open text for rejection reason within the workitem.
i have done the following
1) Create a new step
2) Create a task based on SOFM.CREATE
3) Binded WIOBJECT_ID => (append table) ADHOCOBJECTS
It works fine, when the user clicks the reject button a new work item with the reason for rejection lands in the user inbox, which when clicked brings up the doc.
I want to make it seamless for the user where as soon as the reject button is clicked, the document <b>should open right away</b> without a new work item in the inbox
Any help will be greatly appreciatedHi
If you are using the portal/UWL then search the blogs for a solution otherwise give this a try, in your step definition for the 2 steps, go to the Details tab and tick 'Advance with dialog', this will work if you execute from the business workplace.
Good Luck!
Ravi
