Events and Jeopardies problems in manual and automated task

Hi all,
I have an automated task that has an event in receive state and an internal Xquery automator. The event takes information from de order and send it to a specific queue, then the automator updates the orders to indicate that the information was sent.
I have noticed that sometimes the update automator is executed first that the event so when the event executes can not find information to send to the queue.
If a the event is in receive state, why the automator is running first? what type of automator are accepted for each task state?
Another problem is with Jeopardies in a manual task. In it i have an automator that complete the task to a specific state. The Jeopardy is executed but the task is not completed by the state defined?
are there any restrictions to Jeopardies in manual tasks?
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I am not sure whether I understood completely. Lemme try to answer your 2 questions.
*1) If a the event is in receive state, why the automator is running first? what type of automator are accepted for each task state? So you are saying you have* defined an event when the automated task goes to Receive state ?
Ans : As you have defined the event on the "Receive" state of an automation task, it will be the event gets executed first. Basically during execution of any order, when you hit submit in the CreationTask, automatically next task will be loaded and its task state will be in Recieve state irrespective of Task type like Automated or Manual. That is why when loading the next task, the task will be in received state and the automator runs first.
If you want fire the event on different task state like "Accepted" or "Completed" you might have to change the event type.
*2) i have an automator that complete the task to a specific state. The Jeopardy is executed but the task is not completed by the state defined? Are there any restrictions to Jeopardies in manual tasks?*
Ans: As you said, Jeopardy is getting executed in the manual task correctly. Also you are expecting that the task should be completed along with jeopardy. But as the task type itself is a Manual Task, one has to manually open the order in worklist and make it proceed to next task. No plugins will make a Manual task to complete. Automation Plugins can be completed using the plugins.

  • Opportunity Team Assignment Rule and Automated Task Owner

    Hi,
    We have a requirement that when an Opportunity is created, the Opportunity Team assigned will be based on the Owner of the record. We created a "test" assignment rule wherein the:
    * Team Assignment: (Example) John Locke (Manager), Jack Shephard (Coordinator)
    * Rule criteria: Opportunity Owner First Name = Sawyer, Opportunity Owner Last Name = Ford (Question 1: I can't find Owner id field from the list... that would have been better..)
    This works when the Reassign Opportunity checkbox is ticked during record creation and I needed to refresh the record to see the added users in the Team. (Question 2: Is that how it really works? Also, the users added in the Team does not have an Opportunity Role assigned... This field is important to my requirement..)
    We have 3 Opportunity Team Opportunity Roles: Manager, Coordinator, Sales Rep. We also have a Sales Process based on the Opportunity Type wherein each Sales Stage has automated tasks for it. We assigned the "Opportunity Team Role - Coordinator" as the Owner of the tasks.
    This part does not work because when you create the opportunity record, the user in the Team is only the Owner (creator of the record = Sawyer Ford)m which is also assigned as the Owner of the Activities created based on Sales Stage. What should happen is that the Owner of the Activities should be "Jack Shephard" (Coordinator from the assignment rule).
    Question 3: How can I assign Opportunity Team Role in the assignment rules?
    Question 4: It seems like the Sales Stage fires first (which creates the automated tasks) before the assignment rule fires....
    Help please...
    Thanks in advance,
    Jasmin

    Hi Abhijit,
    Indeed as you stated, the team assignment can only be self-assigned. Meaning that a manager cannot assign a team assignment to another member. Customizing this feature could be quite complex and time/money consuming. If you decide to go that way, then it
    is out of my knowledge.
    Using the "reassign task" feature will not help because once reassigned, the manager will not be able to change the assignment again for another resource.
    I'd rather suggest to put in place a process together with the project manager who is actually managing assignments in the project with Project Pro. For example the manager can access the project plan and should only update his resources on assignments but
    not the project itself.
    Hope this helps,

  • API to access payload of manual and automated tasks?

    Hello,
    Our client wants to get emails in a custom format that alerts them of errors/faults with activities in BPEL processes?
    We also need to generate reports to do this so the information can be accessed at any time - not just when the error occurs.
    Is there an API available for us to access the faults and the payloads of those activities?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

  • ICal 3.x .ics import - problem with recurring events and non-unique UIDs

    Upgraded to Leopard over the holiday break. Under Tiger's iCal (v2.x), .ics files exported from other calendar programs (Outlook via iAppoint/O2M in this case) and imported into iCal behaved 'normally'. However, in iCal 3.x in Leopard, for recurring appointments in the exported calendar, only the last appointment in the series shows up in iCal (although some meetings show up for about 0.25 seconds during the calendar import, then immediately disappear! This post by MalcolmS provided the critical clue - it seems that for recurring events, the .ics file has all of the events in the series with the same UID. Previous versions of iCal didn't care, but v3 apparently does - and deletes all earlier versions of the event, leaving only the last one with that UID. I confirmed that is the case by opening the .ics file in Word, which clearly showed all of the recurring events, and all the events in a series (e.g. a weekly meeting for the year) had the same UID. After the import to iCal, only the last one is in the calendar (in the above example, the one meeting of the series occurring in the last week of December). Manually editing the UIDs of a recurring series in the .ics file (to make them actually unique) allows them to all show up in iCal after import.
    Since many of the events in my Outlook calendar are accepted invites for recurring appointments, re-creating them as individual calendar events in Outlook is not a viable option. The frequency of changes to my calendar means I usually export it once per day (or twice); thus, manually editing the .ics files is also not a viable option.
    Any suggestions on workarounds for this problem? Alternatively, any other suggestions for getting the calendar data from Outlook into iCal?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Backing up iPhoto Events and Photos...with Automator?

    I'm still new to Mac (two months) and just figured out what Automator is. Anyway, I was curious if there's an existing automation to back up events and pictures on my external hard drive or if someone can offer a quick tutorial on how to create one. Thanks.

    Hope you will see this... I had the exact same question and need to be sure what I understand. It is easiest for me to have all contacts, calender contacts only as iCloud rather than machine based. But I want to be sure if there is a massive error on icloud (I have had them on mobile me, me.com) that I can restore from my external hard drive where I do regular time machine backups. How does that work? Does the time machine recognise what is on the calendar regardless of its origin (cloud, gmail, exchange) and then restore it to the machine. At which point I would need to manually edit them all to put them in the right cloud based storage??

  • Email link - link problem on events and blog pages

    I added a email link on a master page - link works properly on all except blog pages and events pages -
    on these pages it links to http://www.h2oonstone.com/mailto:[email protected]  which brings up a bad request
    the link on my celebration page works Celebration | Water on Stone Productions | Art, Music, Magic
    but on the individual events pages they don't - example National Wildlife Day -
    also doesn't work on blog main Water on Stone Watershed
    or on the individual pages  Smoothie Love | Watershed | Water on Stone Productions

    Hi Sanjit -
    The workaround works - but - I had to fix it on the events and e-commerce templates too - and the error template as well.
    The problem is is that every time I make a change and upload the muse file I will have to modify these html pages and that is unsustainable… way too much work as I will be modifying the pages frequently till I have site completed.
    Also strange - on the Blog pages that when I reimplemented the email link (on the master page)  that the normal state does not remain white but defaults to a black - which I suspect has to do with the link default states. I haven't been able to fix this today.
    All the other buttons - with links off-site maintain the states and links work.
    Thanks, Ann

  • Difference between automation task and event in OSM

    Hi,
    What is the difference between automation task and event in OSM anyhow both are having the automation plugin. Under what condition we will use these different things
    Regards,
    Menaka

    You can attach automators to different OSM entities.
    The most natural in a certain way is the task, since that is the main building block of processes.
    But you have also notification (wich different subtypes) and order state events.
    Notifications could be:
    jeopardy (order or task duration exceeds a certain threshold)
    task transition (e.g. into accepted or into a custom defined state)
    process transition (from position A to position B)
    data change (certain order template element updated / created / deleted)
    Order events mean global order state changes (e.g. from in progress to suspended)

  • Problems with Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX)

    Hello LabVIEWers,
    I have been having a serious problem getting MAX to start and to remain stable. Here are the specifics:I am running LabVIEW 8.5 Full Development System on a Dell PC with 1GB of RAM and plenty of hard drive space. The OS is XP Pro and I also have McAfee Enterprise Virus Scan software.  MAX will start-up and appear to run for a few minutes and then the software bombs out. I get a "Measurement and Automation Explorer has encountered a problem and has to close" pop-up message. To fix the problem, I have uninstalled all NI software using MSI Blast. I have wiped the registry clean of NI keys as per instructions in previous posts. I have deleted any remaining NI software on teh hard drive including C:\program files\national instruments and C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments. I have then restarted the machine and did a complete fresh install from CD's, DVD's, and the harddrive (CD's written to hardrive and DVD written to harddrive first). I installed first the LabVIEW and then I installed the Device Drivers. I restarted the machine between installs. I have even installed the updated NIDAQ 8.6. After which I set protections on the NI directories to read/write. Ok, basically I have done all these things numerous times and I still cannot get things to work correctly.
    I was able to get into MAX for a little while (it is somewhat stable immediately after a fresh reinstall). I defined 4 Simulated DAQmx devices and none of them acted like they were simulated. I received various errors saying that the device was not found or could not be started. So I basically could not run my software with the simulated devices. LabVIEW sometimes seems to work ok but just now, I got a "Error loading nidmm_32.dll, initialization routine failed" error. I also get the same error for nilvaiu.dll. Both of these DLLs are in the C:\Program Files\IVI\Bin and  c:\windows\system32 directories respectively and prior to the last time I started the software, all worked ok with LabVIEW.
    Is my computer failing? Are there any other options to getting this installed without probems?
    Please help.

  • Applescript, iMovie and Automator problem

    Hi,
    Sorry for reposting from another area, but maybe this will fair better in the right section.
    I'm trying to convert a .mov file to .mp4 using Visualhub and automator, but a step in my automator file uses an applescript step that just causes the automator flow to stop and the end and not gon one with the rest of the actions.
    More specifically:-
    1. I use my HD camera to film something.
    2. Connect the camera to my mac.
    3. Import the video using iMovie.
    4. My Automator actions ask me to confirm that iMovie has finished the import
    5. Then Ask for finder items, which is get the newly imported .mov into VisualHub
    6. Run the problematic Applescript:-
    on run {input, parameters}
    --we need to unset the default timeout length of two minutes, we'll make it 45
    with timeout of (45 * 60) seconds
    tell application "VisualHub" to set VisualHub to load script (scripts path of main bundle & "/automation.scpt" as POSIX file)
    tell VisualHub
    LoadSettings("/Volumes/MyBook/hd.cam.settings.vhub")
    --SetSaveLocation("YOURHARDDRIVE:Users:YOURNAME:Desktop:iphonemovies:temp")
    AddFiles(input)
    StartConversion()
    QuitApp()
    end tell
    end timeout
    return input
    --delay 15
    end run
    Which I've used from this site (http://professafresh.wordpress.com/2007/10/18/fun-with-automator/) and just stopped the two lines with a comment marker.
    What is supposed to happen after that is that
    7. Automator asks to confirm that VisualHub has finished.
    8. VisualHub quits
    9. Finder finds the .mov that was created when the film was imported
    10. Finder then moves the item to the trash.
    So there is something going on with the applescript that causes the process to stop after the conversion.
    Some points:-
    1. I have used the VisualHub import and convert script step but the default settings are not what I'm after as I want the video resized to 960x540.
    2. iMovie recognizes and keeps all the head info as long as the file name is the same. So if you skip over the thumbnail in iMovie the timestamp changes to reflect the time that the video was taken. If you convert the .mov to .mp4 the info is retained but with a much smaller video size.
    I've tried to give as much info as possible, sorry if it's too much.
    Regards,

    You can do that all in iMovie
    Select 300 photos set the length to 3:15 - Import
    Select all in the timeline. Pick your transition. Set it to .29. Apply.

  • Moving Events and Projects from one location to another on the same hard drive.

    Hello.
    I've searched in the FCP X User Manual, on this forum and in Google, but have found no explanation of how to do this, so I'm posting this here in hopes that someone in our community will be able to help.
    I've previously stored my FCP X Events and Projects folders on an external 3TB hard drive, because there is more room on it than on the internal 1TB hard drive, but, since then, I've worked with other media apps, for video, photography and audio, the files for which are also stored on the external hard drive, and this has created a bit of clutter with no folder structure to keep it tidy.
    I like an organised file structure on my system, to keep it uncluttered, easy to navigate and efficient to use, so I put all the files for my photography, video and audio apps into their own folders, which are, in turn, stored in their appropriate folders for Audio, Photography and Video, and those three folders are stored in a folder called Media, and then I directed each app to its own files.
    The only app with which this has been a problem is FCP X. While there is a way of relocating projects and events from within FCP X, it allows the user to move them from one hard drive to another, and not, as I want, from one place to another on the same hard drive.
    I'm not sure if it matters, but perhaps it's relevant to mention before the next paragraph that the files that had previously been imported as events are, to save hard-drive space, stored in the events folder as shortcuts to the original files, which are stored elsewhere on the drive, rather than as duplicates of those files.
    In Finder, I copied the Events and Projects folders to their intended new locations and tried in the app to link the events and projects to their new Finder location. It seemed to have worked, until I moved the original folders to the Trash. On re-opening FCP X, it was clear that the linking hadn't worked. I returned the original folders from the Trash to their original location, but that didn't entirely reverse the problem. I noticed also that, in the original and duplicated Events folders, the shortcuts had lost their links to the original files stored elswehere on the drive.
    Fortunately I had run a backup before starting, so I restored the original folders and the app from the backup, and all was back to normal.
    I'd be grateful if anyone could advise me on whether or not it's possible to move FCP X events and projects from one place to another on the same hard drive with the app's compliance.
    Thank you.

  • IPhoto events and pictures missing from iPhoto after restoring new hard drive and upgrade to iLife11

    My iPhoto events and pictures are ALL missing from my iPhoto Library after I tried restoring my programs on a new hard drive AND upgrading to iLife11!  Over the last few months, I upgraded my 2008 Macbook Pro's hard drive from a 250 GB to a 500 GB hard drive and since then have been manually installing and restoring programs and software.  I decided to do things manually because I had problems with doing Time Machine backups/restores in the past, so before I upgraded the drive, I manually saved everything to a Western Digital MyStudio 1 TB hard drive that I had just for the purposes of a second back up.  Anyway, I tried importing the pictures onto the new library, but couldn't find the hard copies at first, so that didn't work.  I then tried deleting the iPhoto Library that came with new operating system, then copying my old backup onto the new hard drive...that didn't work either.  However, when I right clicked on the iPhoto Library icon on my external hard drive (the original) and clicked on "show package contents," the folder not only contained the originals, but they were still organized by year and event just as I had them originally! 
    So, then I thought "why don't I try just importing the pictures directly into the new iPhoto Library!"
    I tested it out, and sure enough, it worked!  I then tried importing an entire folder (which, was actually the name of the event), and again it worked!  So, I literally clicked and dragged my entire 2007-2009 library of pictures (which was about 35 GB) back into my iPhoto Library!  AND, this only took about 30 minutes to download, enough time for me to write this post and the following instructions to Recap: 
              1. Open your new iPhoto Library
              2. Go to wherever your ORIGINAL iPhoto Library is saved/backed up, then Right-click (or Control click) on the iPhoto icon 
              3. Click on "Show Package Contents"
              4. Go to the folder called "Originals" or "Master"
              5. Click and drag everything INSIDE the folder (not the folder itself) to your new iPhoto Library
              6. DO NOT try Importing from inside iPhoto!  For some reaseon, iPhoto can't see these images, but I promise, they're there! 
    I assume this could work on other iLife programs, but luckily I have MobileMe and my iCalendar updated itself, though I did have to do some tweeking...
    Hope this helps other people out, GOOD LUCK! 

    I'm re-posting the answer to this problem so I can show it has been answered: 
    Open your new iPhoto Library 
    Go to wherever your ORIGINAL iPhoto Library is saved/backed up, then Right-click (or Control click) on the iPhoto icon
    Click on "Show Package Contents"
    Go to the folder called "Originals" or "Master"
    Click and drag everything INSIDE the folder (not the folder itself) to your new iPhoto Library
    DO NOT try Importing from inside iPhoto!  For some reason, iPhoto can't see these images, but I promise, they're there!
              GOOD LUCK!!!

  • On iPhoto 08 - File Directories, Events and Gallery Support

    For sometime now, I have been meaning to better organize my digital photos and share them with my friends and family on the web. I have finally done so, and now I am having a bit of a problem implementing my organization into the new iPhoto, but I am willing to learn about the newest version of iPhoto and figure out ways to make things work. So I have a couple of questions.
    One problem I have always had with digital photos is that it is not easy to see when the photo was taken when you are just looking at the photo as a file. I guess my major concern is that the "Date Modified" in the Finder is a little bit misleading on first glance. I want to be able to look at a file and tell when the photo was taken and not when it was uploaded to my computer. So I found an Automator Action that will allow to go back and rename your photos according to the date they were taken. I used the %Y%m%d_%H%M%S date syntax to rename all of my pictures. My thinking was that I would be able to quickly know the date/time the picture was taken in Finder or iPhoto. Someone in the Applescript Discussion gave me a simple script that would further organize the directories my pictures lived in. So now, a photo I have taken today would look something like this on my computer /2008/200809/20080909/20080909_083029.jpg. Now that I have imported my photos in the newest version of iPhoto, I see that Apple has changed the iPhoto directory so that it is not easily viewable.
    My first question is what does this mean for me going forward. It looks like my file/directory syntax remained intact inside the iPhoto directory, but how will I continue to add pictures using my current syntax in the future? There are programs/scripts to download pictures from your camera using the same naming conventions I already used for folders and files. Will iPhoto allow me to directly create directories in subdirectories in the iPhoto directory without using iPhoto to download the photos from my computer?
    Also, I started using the .Mac galleries right before I started in on my photo reorganizing adventure. Initially I thought it might be a neat idea to have the Albums in the Gallery tied to the syntax of the directories syntax so that my friends and family would have a visual timeline of my kid's growing up. So maybe there would be an album called 200908 where friends and families could see last months pictures, and also see albums of previous months. And when I started using the newest version of iPhoto I realized there is a new element I needed to learn about called "events". I guess because of the syntax of my directories, it has created a new event for every day I have pictures. Is this how iPhoto determines events? I really cannot find much information on this. This is pretty neat, but it does not really follow the exact syntax of my directory system. In other words, there is no way to have events (months) and sub-events (days). Furthermore, I believe there is a limit on the number of Albums you can have in your .Mac gallery, and I am assuming that I would go over this if I created an Album for everyday that I had pictures. I realize that I could probably create Smart Albums in my iPhoto so that I had pictures from a YYYYMM folder, but it seems like a lot of extra work. Should I change my directory syntax to %Y/%Y%m/%Y%m%d_%H%M%S.jpg (i.e. 2008/200809/20080909_083029.jpg) so that events are represented as months and not days? Or is there another way to achieve limiting the number of events and still keep the same organization?
    Sorry for the long-winded question, hopefully someone can get me started. Thank you in advance.

    Do you want to organise your Photos?
    Or your Files?
    If you want to organise your files, use the Finder - it's exactly what it's for. And all your questions relate to organising Files.
    If you want to organise your Photos use iPhoto.
    The point of iPhoto is that you organise the pics and let iPhoto look after the files. After you import them to iPhoto, forget about them.
    With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. These changes include renaming files.
    Will iPhoto allow me to directly create directories in subdirectories in the iPhoto directory without using iPhoto to download the photos from my computer?
    No. Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    The only way to bring photos into the iPhoto Library Folder is via importing them through iPhoto.
    Here's the thing: Want to find the photos from a specific date? Use the calendar tool. (Click on the wee magnifying glass in the search window. You can find the pics from a specific day, month, year effortlessly. With Date base Smart Albums you can find all the pics from just about any combination of dates that you might want.
    Want to then get to +that pic from 6/5/2003+ Need to email that file? Or want to open it in Photoshop to edit? Or want to upload it to a website?
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    So, in a nutshell, you need to decide which your are organising... files or photos.
    Events are a Download filtered by date. You can set the paramaters in the iPhoto Preferences -> Events.
    Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents).
    You can move photos between Events, you can rename Events, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Event Name using the Info Pane, the Event Folder in iPhoto Library/Originals will also have the new name.

  • IPhoto events and photos

    For some reason all of my photos went into one date range from 2005 until present. These all had one title with the above date range. All my events were gone. I called Apple and they said only way to recover was with backup data. Since my lasts back up I have many pictures of my new granddaughter. Not a good option. So they said I would have to manually re-create the events file. My picture file is over 9,000 photos. I did rebuild the photo file with Apples help but nothing changed. I have what I have manually done and the new events I did manually. Anyone else ever have this happen?? HELP

    That is one way - the other way is to have iPhoto automatically split the one large event into smaller events according to your preference settings as TD suggested - the options are loading a backup from prior to the problem occurring, manually splitting back to smaller events or having iPhoto do the split according to your preference settings
