ESS workflow copy

We have copied workflow WS20000081 to WS91100044.
We have created a new transaction Zws91100044.
In transaction SE93 we have setup transaction code ZWS91100044 which points to service WS91100044.
Our question, on SE93 for ZWS91100044 do we have to change the contents of the program field (it shows SAPMWS20000081H) to a copy of this program (such as SAPMWS91100044H) in order to call WS91100044 or is the program itemized in this field generated from someplace else?
It appears to be system generated somehow but we don't know where to make the change so it generates SAPMWS91100044H instead of the delivered SAPMWS20000081H.

Paul,
My requirement is also same as yours. As you did, I created a custom t-code and assign a custom service but I kept the program as same.
So when I execute the service, it triggers the old workflow only. I am also looking for the same solution.
Please let me know if you get a solution this. I will let you know if I would get the solution.

  • ESS workflows clarification required

    Hi ,
    i am working on Ess workflows (ws12300111 ). i have copied standard workflo(ws12300111)  and deleted loops and hr approval steps ,as our requirement is just sending notification to manager and  mail to user after approval or rejection .
    doubts:
    1.) if we take step type 'send mail' in workflow builder  will that mail reflect in portal inbox ,if not how do ?
    2.)when i have applied leave in portal it is giving error stating that 'you are not possible agent' but i am using the standard one  (given as general task at task level)?
    please clarify these doubts.

    SreeHarsha

    Hi Sreeharsha Reddy,
    1.) if we take step type 'send mail' in workflow builder will that mail reflect in portal inbox ,if not how do ?
         No. For that you have synchoronise the task with the portal application in the tcode swnconfig.
    2.)when i have applied leave in portal it is giving error stating that 'you are not possible agent' but i am using the standard one (given as general task at task level)?
       Yes, it is correct. When ever you are using the standard workflow check for the general forwarding allowed in the task level and try to test once again.

  • Implementing ESS Workflow

    Hi Friends,
        I am new to HR. I want to try implementing ESS. I am quite comfortable with all the activities it takes to implement ESS except for Workflows.Is there any documents available providing a sort of walkthrough of how to implement ESS workflow from Portal(UWL)?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Nathan.

    Hi Nathan,
    Which Wofkflow you are looking for? There are some standard WF's (Leave) already in the system...From your Portal Content Directory you can find these Iviews under migrated content -> EP version -> Iviews -> ESS :working time -> Leave request...
    And from the iview properties, you can find the workitem 
    WS200000081 name..You execute this Woritem in SWDD trnx...
    Later you copy the workitem and the iview and do necessary modifications.
    Hope it helps .

  • ESS workflow customization

    One small info required generally about these ESS workflows.
    Are the ESS workflow templates  different from the standard R/3 workflow given for HR module. Does the transaction data store temporarliy in some tables especially maintained for ESS before getting stored in R/3 standard HR tables.
    If we create a event in a BOR object how can we trigger it from any standard transactions, is there any fm we can include in the sourcecode to trigger event so as to invoke workflows dependent on event.
    Please do help me.
    --Vivek

    Thanks for you very helpful link..really i was searching somuch for these tasks in SAP and am feeling more happy to see a very hepful link for me.
    Could you please help on the second part of the question of ---how to trigger event if we create a new event in the BOR object. how muhc work is involved.

  • ESS Workflow 10000015 Approve request for changing address thru Portal ESS

    Hi Experts,
    We want to implement ESS workflow 01000015 u201Cchange (infotype 0006) Address will be blocking until approved/rejected by Administratoru201D. The workflow is trigger OK from R3, user creates a new address and IT0006 is blocking till administrator approve or reject.
    What we want now is to trigger this workflow from Portal, but here is the problem:
    1.-  I do not see any option (button) for creating a new address from Portal iView, what else is missing??? I believe creating new address from Portal could trigger this workflow, but I am not sureu2026
    2.- If the first option does not work I would like to trigger this workflow by the event u201CChangeu201D, so I need to edit the address. From R3 is blocking IT0006 OK, but from portal is not blocking the address at allu2026 What else is missing??? I do not know if this could be an issue from R3 or Portalu2026.
    We already check u201CNote 495971 - Workflow 01000015 is not triggered when changing addressu201D and workflow is working ok only from R3.
    Regardsu2026..

    Hi Swamy,
    I am a little confused of you requirement. The scenario here is that Person A (Any person using ESS) must not change any of his/her own personal data until Person B Approve/Reject the new Data. For example: if a user A want to change his/her address, personal data etc. must be approve or reject for another person B. This is a validation that most of the companies want to have in order to validate this information. Employees may change their personal data, but how HR area validates if this new information is real or not...  One way to verify this new information is a validation for a Person B who will be to approve or reject this information. Now if you do not have this scenario I believe you will not have to do this implementation class because ESS do not have this scenario. The standard ESS functionality is available for change any data without validation and this should be working right now on your Enterprise Portal.
    If you want to have a validation for a third User, Person B, you may check these points:
    1. Edit 2. New Permanent address
    Edit - Will change the record irrespective of dates. This will modify the current record which is valid as of today.
    New Permanent address - This will create a new record effective today and previous record will be delimited.
    If I use lock functionality in Edit scenario, then in the portal it will dispaly previous record which is not the correct data.
    For 2nd case, this will insert the new record, so Lock may work in this case. I will check this.
    I believe you will work most of the time with "Edit" button. If Person A edit address, the new register will be created and locked in PA30 Infotype  6 until person B Approve/Reject. How Person B knows if someone has edit his/her address?? You may achieve this using Universal Work List and notification. You may have to create a task for person B with email notification, so person B will be enter into Portal and check his/her new task from the UWL. This task will be ITS UI front end and from here person B decide if approve or reject. If Person B approve, the new register will be unlocked and replace the last one (Also in Portal). If person B reject, the register blocked will be gone and the last one remains.
    This should work for any infotype . Check only the type of event generated for any of them in order to trigger the workflow.
    Do you have any idea how to achieve this for Personal details where the Lock/Unlock functionality is not available.
    Standard ESS works without any lock/unlock functionality. remove the current workflow if you have used any.
    Regards
    David Corté

    Hi Ram
    In SWI5 transaction, check whether a work item has got generated for director and VP or not.....
    You will find the work items in SAP Inbox if system has generated a work item for director or VP....
    That will narrow your analysis

  • Workflow copy...

    Hi,
    In my scenario I have a custom workflow working fine. I need to create another workflow that works exactly the same, only difference is that the Business object associated is different (but has all the necessary methods / attributes as of first workflow ).
    So I copied the first and did the following:
    1. Added my new business object in the workflow ocntainer and removed the old one.
    2. Changed all the bindings.
    and it worked fine !!!
    I just want to confirm if my understanding is correct...
    1. By doing above, will my first workflow be affected in any way ?? Any of the bindings for first workflow ?
    2.  In the first workflow there is a step called 'Send mail' and it has the text and data referring to the first workflow. When I copied it to new workflow, I changed those text so that it describes the second workflow, i..e the subject the body text etc. Now this step is bound to a task which was defined in first workflow.
    My question is should I just change the subject and body text and save that as part of second workflow ? Will this change impact the first workflow ? Do I need to create a new task under any scenario ?
    {{ In other words, do I have to create  a new task for the second workflow for the step 'send email ' ?? }}
    Just want to make sure , copying the workflow is not affecting the original in any way ...
    Help is appreciated.
    thnks
    Edited by: sdnuser1 sdnsurname on Dec 1, 2010 3:53 PM

    Hi,
    If you share one task between two workflows any change you do in the task will affect both workflows. And texts are at task (TS) level. So if you need to change text in your copied workflow and don't want the first workflow to be affected you've better create new tasks as well. This includes sendmail steps: there are also tasks behind these and the text you maintain in the sendmail step is in fact saved in the sendmail step's task.
    Cheers,
    Patrick

  • Workflow copy event

    Hi,
    I am using Content Services with workflow executed by BPEL.
    It works fine for all events like upload, delete… All of these events point on a correct document id : the document that is uploaded or deleted.
    Now I want to use the copy event. The problem with that event is that the pointed document id is the source document and not the target. And I am more interested in the target document than in the source one.
    For example I have a document which path is : /site/library1/doc1, it id is 111111. I copy this document and paste it in folder /site/library2. The id of this new document is 2222. To do my workflow job I need the second id. How is it possible to grab it ?
    With the API I have found the REQUEST_TARGETS attribute that I use to get the document id but this attribute does not works for the copy event,
    Could you help me on this point ? How is it possible to get the target document id of a copy event?
    Thanks for your help
    Emmanuel DUPOUY

    Hi..
    Hope u solved the problem by this time :)
    if not, try getting the target items by using REQUEST_DEFINITIONS instead of REQUEST_TARGETS.
    Re: Multiple Upload not triggering properly for WorkFlows
    If u already solved the problem, can you please sahre the solution..
    Thanks!

  • Automator Workflow Copying Files

    I want to create an Automator workflow that copy items to a destination folder but ignores files that already exist in the destination. I begin having trouble at the "Copy Finder Items" action where the only options are to replace existing files or create duplicates in th destination folder?

    My bad.
    Try this script instead:
    tell application "Finder"
              set source_folder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the source folder:")
              set target_folder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the destination folder:")
              if source_folder is not target_folder then
                        set the_files to every file of source_folder
                        repeat with each_file in the_files
                                  set file_name to name of each_file
                                  if not (exists file file_name of target_folder) then
      duplicate each_file to target_folder
                                  end if
                        end repeat
              else
                        display dialog "Choose different folders as source and target!" buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with icon stop
              end if
    end tell
    It does what the first one should have done - checks the name of each file against the files already in the source folder and only duplicates those which aren't already there.

  • ESS workflow issue

    Dear friends
    We have different services  in ESS  like leaves, claims and advances etc in ESS, the requirement is the user while applying for leave loan or claims, he should be able to select the approver to trigger the workflow
    Eg. Employee 1 wants to apply for the leave, after entering the data in the fields, the user has to select the approver in the same screen from the dropdown (say employee 10) and send , so that the workflow triggers to employee10
    Please suggest whether we can built the system in such a way, if so how
    Thank you 
    Kiran

    he can search any approver in the F4 search and assign
    PT_ARQ_SEARCH_NEXT_PROCESSOR
    Method               SEARCH_NEXT_PROCESSOR
    CL_PT_REQ_SEARCH_NEXT_P
           Methods
               SEARCH_NEXT_PROCESSOR     
    the check is done here
    we can change it in the badi
    Please check the BADI PT_GEN_REQ for more information

  • ESS Workflow substitution activation

    Hi Experts
    I need the help regarding the substitutation of Workflow on ESS. For standard leave workflow when I am activating the substituation from business workplace in R/3 its working fine. But the same thing when I had done in ESS UWL iview to activate the substitution in ESS, its showing that its activated and successful but none of the workitems are sent to the substitute approver for action.
    Other thing is that for the first time when I had activate the substitution in the system and completes the leave process, and deactivate the substitution than also system is displaying the name of the substitute approver, not the actual approver on ESS leave request screen.
    Do I need to do any settings for this. Plz help me in this regard.

    Hello all,
                 Please help me to solve this issue.
    I had done this thing for clock in/out Work flow.
    Create  a custom transaction calling report program RPTCORAPP and selection screen 1000.(ZPT_APPROVE)
    2. Create another custom transaction(Z_APPROVE_CLINOUT) with following code.
    Call transaction ZPT_APPROVE AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.
    3. Using transaction sw01 create an object.  call the above tranasaction in the object created in step 3.
    4. Create a custom task with the above object and method (STEP 3) (There will be no parameter passed between the task container and the workflow as we are calling a transaction only)
    5. Create Copy of WS12300111 using transaction SWDD.
    6. Delete the step Process Request by Employee (TS12300116) from copied workflow.
    7. In the copied workflow in the Approval process instead of standard approval task use the custom task created in step 4.
    8. Activate the customized workflow.
    But when I will execute the Work item. it will not show me any record.it will show me blank page.
    Please Reply.
    Thank You.

    Hi,
    Please try debugging by placing a break point in the method.
    Try with another transaction for testing purpose if debugging seems to be fine.

  • Clear Responsible Actor id in ESS workflow

    hi friends
      I have developed a cutomized ESS leave request workflow where there are 4 level of approvals. Am using standard screen for all level of approvals. when the 1st level approver approves the leave it goes to the 2nd level approval. But before approving the 2nd level if i come and check the 1st level approvers inbox the same request exist. Am not able to clear the Req.Responsible. I want to clear this. In the Req.Responsible only my 1st level approvers details get stored. Because of that only am able to view always in the 1st level approvers inbox. Other levels i dont have any problem. How to clear that workflow container values. any solution plz help me.
    Regards
    vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    You want to clear an attribute of a BOR. You cannot do that from the workflow directly. You need to find how the attribute is populated and clear the field in the database. But take care you need to make sure you have the correct one and you should avoid a direct interaction with the database tables. Check if you can find a Badi or FM which will do the job.
