Force to run an Expiration workflow

Hello!
I have working Group objects deletion rule which deletes group objects which has some string in the Display name. I had to delete the manually created group. I have placed it in to the appropriate set which is dedicated for Expiration groups. The Expiration
workflow was executed immediately but with code Access denied in Search requests view (The group did not have required string in the Display name).
After that:
I have corrected required string in Display name.
I have disabled / enabled MPR which allows execution of the Expiration workflow run for group objects.
It seems that FIM ignores changes I have made - there is no Expiration workflow execution seen in Search requests view after that. How can I force the Expiration Workflow run again?
Thanks!

There is a "run on policy update" checkbox on your workflow which you need to turn on, then disable an re-enable your MPR.

Running an automator workflow w/o opening automator

Is it possible to run an automator workflow - (check addressbook for birthdays - then send a card) once a day without having to remember to open automator everyday (the whole point is I forget to do this in the first place, so I'm hoping automator can just take care of it). but I don't want to have to leave automator open all the time... I think I read something about using applescripts, but I havent played with them at all...
Thanks

Hmm, your idea sounds about right. If you created the birthday event in iCal yourself (i.e. it's not the Birthday calendar iCal provides from your Address Book), then you can add an alarm to it. In that case, you have some nice options and effects.
Since you would be adding the alarm to the birthday event, then the Automator workflow won't run every day and will only run when the birthday occurs. As for options, you can set the alarm for the event to activate at a specific time in reference to the event, e.g. the day before or perhaps around noon. (That is somewhat dependent on whether you made the event an all-day event or for a certain time, but it works either way and is pretty self evident.) You could also have it automatically occur a day late or even a week late.
As such, you might consider making the workflow be more specific. You could create a workflow specifically for that birthday, and in that case you'd just specify a person from your Address Book instead of searching it for birthdays. Just depends on how you want to approach it. Regardless, saving the workflow as plug-in in Automator will be the easy way to refer to it as an iCal alarm.
You mentioned iCal popping up reminders and that's an example of what an alarm can do if you set it that way, so you're probably familiar with them. However, you won't see that when you set the alarm to open a file (as in this case) unless you set a second alarm for the event to show a reminder. To add more alarms to the same event in iCal, you can click on the name "alarm" in the info drawer and it will give you a menu to add another alarm. You can also remove extra alarms in the same way. Wasn't sure if you knew that already.

Force unload running modules

hi all!
hda-intel causes trouble when hibernating. when i wait und unload this module, then hibernating/suspending works.
i tried adding this module to the pm-utils SUSPEND_MODULES list, but it does not work properly. hibernating still freezes...
from pm-suspend.log
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/75modules suspend suspend: FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel is in use.
is there a way to force unload running modules even if they're in use?
vlad

Hello Norbert,
thanks for your reply. I am still having some issues with unloading modules. Following.
I created a step type under the Type Palettes, let's say a global step type. The Post step of the step type is a VI, which belongs to a LVLIBP. The default unload option for the step type is "Unload when sequence file closes."
Well, after running the step, and closing the sequence file, the entire LVLIBP is still in the memory. I got this by calling the "GetAllVIsInMemory" property from LabVIEW. So I see the entire VI list of the LVLIBP, and the VI which requests the "GetAllVIsInMemory". For my understanding, all the modules have to be unloaded upon closing the sequence file, if the "Unload when sequence file closes" is set. They will be onlyunloaded, if I explicitly call the Engine.UnloadAllModules method.
If I remove the .ini file from the Type Palettes, then it works: execute step -> close the sequence file -> GetAllVIsInMemory -> and the only VI remains in the memory is the VI with the "GetAllVIsInMemory".!
Can you please let me understand, why the unloading is not working, if the step type resides in the type palettes?

Power shell script to run a Resuable workflow.

Hi,
We came across a scenario where we want to run a resuable workflow on all List items in a list. I am not sure if this can be acheived through power shell. Can any one please help me to run reusable workflows through power shell script on list items.
Thanks,
Sandy

Hello,
Recently i executed below script for my VS workflow on list items, you can also try same on reusable WF.
Basically you need to use "WorkFlowManager" and "WorkFlowAssociations " to find WF on list and then execute it.

Can I tell applescript to run an Automator workflow?

I was wondering if there was any way to tell applescript to run my workflow?

Sure there are two ways:
1) save your workflow as an application, then launch it like any other app
2) tell application "Automator" to execute workflow 1
(the latter is an actual AppleScript example that runs the active workflow. There are other ways of specifying which workflow to use, but since you weren't specific in your request I can't be more precise.)

Run step before workflow ends by user

Good day! I need to clear some fields in entity with workflow status.
Is there an opportunity to run custom step in Designer before workflow is terminated by user?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to run step before workflow ends by user.
In the Workflow, the actions are runing step by step.
To clear some fields in workflow, you can create a workflow variable containing a single space character and use the Trim function to blank the variable.
For more information, you can refer to:

When i run the above code in Se38, I get an email with a attachment that i am able to open. The problem seems to be with user WF_BATCH.
I have already checked all the existing threads on this. I did this coding as per one of the SDN threads itself.
I am able to open the PDF attachment even when i test the method. The problem is only when it is run through a task/workflow.
Please advice.

Hello,
You should see an "Edit" in the top right of your post, you can use that to edit it.
As I said, use before and after the coding, but without the spaces (after "{" and before "}" ).
Try it!

How to run a Powershell workflow with WinPE 5.0?

I have a powershell workflow script to validate a tool. It worked well with Windows 8.1 system. As the tool can be used with both Win8.1 and WinPE 5.0 environment, I would like the workflow script to run with WinPE environment to make sure
the tool works well. I created a WinPE UFD with Powershell module and the workflow script and the tool. And I run it and got the error message below. I guess powershell workflow is not supported in WinPE 5.0, am I right?

Getting error when run the "'CalculateDependentDemand" workflow

'Calculate Dependent Demand'
Step ID: 'Step1'
Step name: 'CalculateDependentDemand'
Error description 'Database internal error:ORA-00060: deadlock detected while waiting for resource'
How to remove the deadlock ?

Hi,
This occurs when you have multiple statements trying to access the same data. Check if you are running any other process at the same time (ep_load or any integration interfaces or any heavy sql query) and try rerunning the workflow at a time when the database is not too busy. This should resolve the issue, most of the time. Also, chk if your RAM is sufficient. Restart the DB and retry. If you are still repeatedly facing the issue, then might need your DBA help to chk which tables are causing the deadlock and Oracle help might be required.

Sankar

Run Report From Workflow Item

Hi All
I want to create work item that will run a Transaction/Report.
when the user will execute the work item from his inbox
It will run a Transaction "z*" with some parameters and display the result (ALV Rp)
Thanks in Advance For Any Help.

Hi Kobi,
1. Change (or extend) the BOR to create a new method to display this report or transaction.
2. When you define the method, you get a popup with 3 tabs. In the Abap tab, you can link it to a Transaction (or even a report).
You can also pass data.
3. Now create a new task in your workflow that will call this BOR method.
4. Create a new Workflow step, that will call this task created in step 3.
As simple as that.
Btw, if you want more details on this, you can refer to the SAP Workflow book from SAP Press. You can also read the SAP Help documentation which mentions these steps.
Hope this helps you. If it does, remember to reward points.
Rgds,

GPO Policy 'Applied' but not taking effect unless gpupdate /force is run

I do not yet have a 2012 DC or a Win 8 machine to manage IE 10 / 11 settings via GPMC. So I have created a policy with a registry setting so that users in a specific OU get specific .PAC settings in IE 11.
This is a user policy - that is linked and enforced at the specific OU level. It is the last processed User Policy. It appears in the top GPRESULT command
on the workstations, however the policy is not listed below the policy list when you run with a /v for
verbose - is this because it is a registry change? Or part of the issue?
I can see the policy being found, downloaded AND applied in the GP logs on multiple workstations. There no errors from any system for me to track down.
If I open IE after logging on (with an account in the specific OU), I do not see the settings for the PAC file. If I close IE and run GPUPDATE
/Force, I can open IE and see the settings and note that they do work.
The policy is only for users in this OU, it is set for Authenticated Users as it applies to all users in the OU - though I have added a few test accounts for my use.

Hi,
I agree with others. By default, on clients, it will take 90 minutes interval for group policy settings to get refreshed at background. If we need to immediately update group policy settings, as you know, we can run command gpupdate/force to do this.
Best regards,
Frank Shen

I think the suggestion would have been to update Microsoft Office, which is not available from the App Store. You need to get it from Microsoft.
What you can do is run the Microsoft Auto Update utility. Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then enter the following (copy and paste)
/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0
If you are running MS Office 2011 then you will see the Microsoft AutoUpdate utility. Double-click to open and get the latest update.
