FYI Tasks
Hi,
We have a FYI notification workflow associated to the status of Contract. When the Contract status changes, a FYI notification is sent to Contract administrator.
Have following questions.
1. If pl/sql Workflows are supported in Fusion
2. As per "Oracle® BPEL Process Manager Developer's Guide"
The FYI task cannot be extended. Any other workflow can be extended with an FYI task, but the FYI task itself cannot be extended.
There could be customers who would have customized the worflows.If we intend to use BPEL, how will the Customer add customizations to extend the workflow.
Appreciate any response.
Thanks
Yes, if you use Oracle Worlflow for PLSQL you can use it via the Database Adapter. Note that OWF is complety on it's own and has no relation to BPEL.
But you can also use the Worlkflow Of BPEL itself. The long-term stategy is that OWF will be replaced by BPEL.

Worklist FYI task is not visible after updating protectednumberattribute2
Hi,
I need you guys help please. The case is that or bpel process is creating a FYI task for user notification where a custom worklist screen is created to retreive FYI tasks for the users.
If any of the FYI task is later updated with the API, the task becomes invisible in the worklist application and also cannot be retreived with the worklist API.
Below is the code for retreiving and updating the task. Its an struts action and the init method is executed the first time to display all tasks.
Later the delete method is invoked and again the init method to see the remaining tasks.

BPM 11g - FYI task to send a copy to each member of a group
In BPM 11g I am trying to send an FYI task to each member of a group. They should each get their own copy of the task so that it does not get removed from their inbox when the first person dismisses it.
I was not successful in getting multiple copies of the task using FYI type even when multiple users were defined in the participant list. So, I changed the participant type to parallel. This was successful in sending mulitiple copies when I defined a participant list of hard coded users, but the process stopped and waited until at least one of the users dismissed it (so the FYI only behavior changed, but I can get around that with a parallel process flow).
Still using parallel participant type, I have been trying to change from my hard coded list of users to a security group of users. If I set assignment to the group, only one task is created for the group. So, I have been trying to assign to users and use the expression ids:getUsersInGroup('LoanAnalyticGroup') to get the users in this group. I have tried several approaches to this expression but can't get it to work.
Has anyone else successfully implemented sending tasks to all members of a group in 11g? Any advice?Hi all,
We are also facing same issue.
The function ids:getUsersInGroup doesnt return value.
Even i imported identityservice.xsd and is_config .xsd and created variable using the *"users"* element of identityservice.xsd schema and assigned the value to this variable.
But Audit always says
*"XPath query string returns multiple nodes.*
*According to BPEL4WS spec 1.1 section 14.3, The assign activity part and query should not return multipe nodes.*
*Please check the BPEL source at line number "72" and verify the part and xpath query "*
Help me to resolve this issue. -
Workflow Pattern FYI Task Issue
Hi,
BPEL PM version 10.1.2.0.2.
I am trying to create a workflow using FYI Task pattern. I have only one action 'Acknowledge'. The task gets created and shows up in the worklist application under my group, but the status of the task is 'Withdrawn' and no action displays for that task. I want the task to be 'Assigned' to the group and let the process continue. The group user can then acknowledge the task whenever. I used the workflow wizard to create the task.
Why does the task show up as 'Withdrawn' with no action list? Has anybody encountered this issue before? Any help is appreciated!I'm also seeing instances of tasks arriving on the worklist and then being immediately withdrawn (bpeladmin) ?
The call to InitiatTask fails :
<bindingFault>
<part name="summary" >
<summary>null</summary>
</part>

Accessing payload for FYI task
Guys,
We have a BPM application. There is an FYI task in the applicaiton.
When am fetching the payload from the FYI task, it doesnt contain the payload which am looking for. Other normal human task works as expected. Only FYI task is not working.
Element taskDetails = task.getPayloadAsElement(); --- task is an instance of oracle.bpel.services.workflow.task.model.Task
NodeList payloadNodeList = taskDetails.getElementsByTagName("MyPayload");
But 'payloadNodeList' is empty (doesnt contain any nodes).
Not sure why its not working. Do i miss anything here?Not sure if this helps, but I think we have the same architecture: a custom ADF tasklist instead of the default Workspace.
From Oracle BPM we use the SystemMessageAttributes to map certain key elements for our ADF tasklist.
While doing this it helps the ADF developers so they don't have to parse through the payload of the tasks to get this information for a worklist tasks overview.
Hope it helps. J@n -
FYI Tasks and Expiration Policy
Hi all,
i try to set an expiration policy for FYI Tasks using the Human Task Editor but it doesn't work where it works for other types.
can someone confirm that an expiration policy can be set for an FYI task?
I am using SOA Suite 10.1.3.
ThanksRepost

Hi,
I have a FYI at the last stage in my human task flow with help of
call CreateResourceList I can determine the desire user for sending the task (FYI) to him.
the problem is that based on some data in the payload some time I want to send the FYI to 1 user and in some cases I want to send the FYI to 2 users.
How can I do that? the CreateResourceList can send the task to only 1 user.
Thanks.Hi,
you can choose expressions when assigning owners to tasks.
Within this expressions you can use the Principal Functions like getPrincipalByUniqueName() or getPrincipal().
Best Regards,

SOA/BPM/Human Tasks 11g -- add new task participant through Workflow API
Heya folks. Got a question that's been driving me nuts, hope you can help.
I have a bunch of Human Tasks in a BPMN process. Each task is pretty simple -- for assignment a single stage only; parallel approval; list of participants is passed in -- via the task payload -- as a comma-delimited list. When the task is initiated it produces a root task, and one child task for each participant. So, say we have participants "fgolfer,atreyvaud" we get three task objects: the "master" or root task and one each for fgolfer and atreyvaud.
Now what I want to do is add another approver (let's say "gfrog") -- i.e. create a new task for gfrog which is a child of the master task and leaves the tasks for fgolfer and atreyvaud as they are. As far as I can figure, this is NOT a Reassign nor an Ad-Hoc Route. Applying either of those to an existing task effectively removes the existing user from the task and assigns it to the new user.
On another track, if I programmatically create a new task (with initiateTask() from the Task service, using the values from an existing task), I seem to get a NEW master task with attendant child tasks, while leaving the existing master task and children.
Make sense? Neither of these outcomes is what I want.
Seems like this should be pretty simple but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I could create an FYI task or a todo task or a subtask but again this isn't what I want -- need to create a task with all the custom outcomes and such.In case folks are playing along at home, I've yet to find a solution for this. Because I need to move forward with my project, I've decided I can't do it through the Workflow API and I'm taking a different route -- basically, triggering a custom task outcome which returns to the same Human Task in the BPMN flow, thus starting the task again. Before doing that I update the task's payload, which contains the task assignees.
I'm not happy with this, it seems like a nasty hack to overcome a limitation with the Workflow API.
Understand, though, I'm not saying this is impossible through the Workflow API, just that I haven't found a way to do it. I've spent 2-3 person weeks on this and it's time to move on. -
RuntimeException trying to Initialize process in BPM 11g workspace.
Hello everyone!
I've created simple project with process, None Start Event, then Init Human Task follows, then FYI task follows. When I'm trying to init it I am getting RuntimeException time to time.
Also I'm getting the same exception trying to view this data entered at FYI task. Weblogic restart helps, after it I can operate well, but after several tries it fails again.
Any suggestions??
Thank you for you help in advance!

-
Hello,
I would like to allow a Human Task assignee to select and assign users as FYI assignees in a parallel stage within the same Human Task. Is this possible?
Example: User_A is assigned and logged-into the Human Task under the Worklist Application. I would like to allow User_A to select and assign users as FYI assignees in the currently active task. I only require the FYI users to comment or they can ignore entirely and User_A can reject/approve at any time.
Is it possible to add FYI assignees to a Human Task while it is running? If so, how is this done?
My findings so far:
IWorkflowServiceClient client = WorkflowServiceClientFactory.getWorkflowServiceClient();
ITaskService service = client.getTaskService();
What should I do from here?
I would be open to other design ideas, as well.
Thanks,
MarkYes, it is possible assign a group as participant of some human task, passing the group name as parameter.
I have tested just now.
It works pretty well in SOA 11.1.1.4 (BPEL or BPM).
Make sure add a data parameter in your human task definition and pass a valid group name to it.
At the Assignment tab, in the participants' list, add a group, data type by expression, and set the value to the right xpath expression to the corresponding parameter.
For example: /task:task/task:payload/task:group
If it is not working look the SOA log files, probably you'll find some information about the error there. Maybe there is some problem with your jazn.com configuration.
You can also test if there is something wrong related to the group name, trying to transfer some task to the same group by the worklist. -
How can i set a task/reminder from an email?
Hi all, I have a 64gb iPad 2 running iOS 5.1 which work have supplied me with, I'm an apple n00b but am quite experienced with Windows. My mail is synchronised with the office server and I can access that on my Windows laptop or my iPad.
When I receive a new email that I need to either reply to or perform an action in order for it to be considered complete (ie not just a FYI email that I can file away), I can set this email as a to-do task in Windows, set a coloured reminder to the email, flag the email with a reminder to pop onto my screen etc at a later date - ie loads of ways to highlight to me that this needs to be actually actioned but there doesn't seem to be any way of doing anything with the embedded email program other than mark it as unread.
At the moment I'm resorting to creating a subfolder called "To do" and manually moving these emails there for the minute but setting a reminder or task, which I've had the ability to set on Windows Outlook since the 90's, seems impossible on the iPad. Other than this my only options seem to be marking the email as unread or going to the reminders app myself and type a 'manual' reminder referencing this email.
Is there any way, or app, that I can either create a reminder/task straight to reminders from the email or, at the very least, do something to differentiate it from the rest of the emails in my inbox (even highlighting it in a colour would do)?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer,
MattThis is an extremely vexing problem and I would like to know if anyone has a solution please. Here is my situation:
Using standalone (simply my home one not connected to network or exchange) Outlook 2007 (soon to upgrade to 2013) on PC - Windows 8.1. Have an iPhone 6. Want the closest possible functionality (particularly categories, reminders, etc.) on my iPhone for my standalone Outlook. The only thing I have found close is DejaOffice and Companion Link (which work together). I am seriously considering as appears a close mirror image for all things I do, but they don't have email. So, can someone please give me either a) a better comprehensive application/solution; b) a separate 3rd party email app that will allow me to flag an email, on either computer or iPhone with perfect sync, as a reminder without having to create a separate task; or c) your best/closest solution set to be as seamlessly productive as possible using either native or 3rd party email app and your :"manual workaround." Thanks. -
How to get current task ID in BPM
Hi guys,
I have a requirement where I need to get the current active UWL task id in BPM context. I have seen the following code to create a direct execution url for a BPM task.
// begin session
IUWLSession uwlSession;
uwlSession = uwlService.beginSession(uwlContext, sessionIdleTimeout);
uwlContext.setSession(uwlSession);
IUWLItemManager itemManager = uwlService.getItemManager(uwlContext);
QueryResult result = itemManager.getItems(uwlContext, null, null);
ItemCollection items = result.getItems();
Item item = null;
for (int i = 0; i < items.size(); i++) {
item = items.get(i);
Map params = new HashMap();
params.put("taskId", item.getExternalId());
String executionURL = WDURLGenerator.getApplicationURL("sap.com/tc~bpem~wdui~taskinstance", "ATaskExecution", params);
This works fine, but this is looping through all the tasks assigned to a user. How do I get the current task ID. I want to use the code inside webdynpro application which is caled as a human activity in BPM. When this WebDynpro application is called I would like to know the current task ID.
As an FYI , UWL configuration passes the current task ID as a Dynamic parameter to "sap.com/tcbpemwdui~taskinstance"
application.
Please help if someone can identify how to get this value in my custom WD.
Thanks,
Yomesh.Yes. there is no API to get the current task.
Try this:
WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("wi_id");
But i still say a bit confused with your requirement.
The task id gets created only upon creation of a task. And you want this current task id in the BPM Process context? How is it possible unless and until some action takes place and the data is passed from WDJ to BPM Context?
Please clear my doubt. -

I have pasted the log from a Computer which shows that it checks/Processes all the packages which are in the T/s and that is where it spends the time, although for this model it has to install just 3-4 drivers
Can we do something about this, to make the installation process just checks/Examines the drivers which are associated under its Specific Model Tree and saves time. ( Fyi there are around 14 Different Models of Laptops/Desktops which are separated
by folder and a WQL Query to identify the Model.
could not paste the log file as its too long
Thank you,
Tanoj
OSLM ENGINEER - SCCM 2007 & 2012Is there a specific need that you need to update the already installed drivers or is this just something that someone
has always done and it will always be done? Give it a thought for a moment.
We dont upgrade the already installed Drivers, its just installed when a machine is newly imaged / reimaged
so whenever a new image is being engineered, simultaneously we create a new T/s with updated drivers and that goes to production along with the new image release
Thank you all for your replies, looks like the only option at this point is to workaround with splitting the T/s

VBA to identify a group of tasks being updated
Good Afternoon,
I have not had much luck with Project questions here, but now that I have dug a little deeper I think I can ask a question that you may be able to help with. If any of you know of a better place to find Project VBA advice, please let me know!
This question is also gathering dust over at UA. http://www.utteraccess.com/forum/Custom-Macros-Project-20-t2022616.html
First off, I am writing a macro that is triggered when a task is updated in project. I used the code from this page as a starting point.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee...fice.12%29.aspx
The macro I wrote works well. I changed the code up a bit so that it runs each time the user sets a task to 100% complete. When the user sets a task to 100% complete, the macro pulls today's date and adds it to the custom date field (Date2).
My next challenge is to warn the user if they update start or finish dates for a task with a specific tag in a text field (Text15). This new functionality will be embedded with the previous functionality I already wrote. Here is the problem. When I need to
update a bunch of tasks, or when I update one task that changes other tasks due to links, the event is triggered for each and every task. This creates lots of message boxes that I don't need.
On the surface this makes sense because I want to know each time a task changes, but from a practicality standpoint I only need to be notified once for each group of tasks that are updated. For example, if I update one date, and linking causes 10 other dates
to change, I only want to be notified once. Similarly, if I highlight and change multiple dates I only want to get warned about it once, not once for each task.
To achieve this I think I need to access some kind of collection that represents the set of tasks that are being updated as a result of user input. This is where I need help. I am not sure how to access this information.
For your information here are the code elements I have written for the existing macro.
This section goes in "ThisProject":
<code>
Private Sub Project_Open(ByVal pj As Project)
EnableEvents
End Sub
</code>
This section goes in a module named "modTaskUpdate":
<code>
Public TskUpdate As New clsTaskUpdate
Sub EnableEvents()
Set TskUpdate.App = MSProject.Application
End Sub
</code>
Finally, this section goes in a Class Module named "clsTaskUpdate":
<code>
Public WithEvents App As MSProject.Application
Private Sub App_ProjectBeforeTaskChange(ByVal tsk As Task, ByVal Field As Long, ByVal NewVal As Variant, Cancel As Boolean)
'Code for managing 100% complete and Date Completed
'(This part works OK, see the next section for the code I need to modify)
If ((Field = pjTaskPercentComplete) And (NewVal = 100)) Then
'Add today's date to completed date field
'MsgBox "Adding today's date: " & Date & " to the Date2(DateCompleted) field."
tsk.Date2 = Date
End If
If ((Field = pjTaskPercentComplete) And (NewVal = 0)) Then
'Remove date from completed date field
'MsgBox "Removing date from the Date2(DateCompleted) field."
tsk.Date2 = ""
End If
'Code for managing warnings to user if PST dates will change.
' Currently this message is triggered for each task that causes a change.
' Can we only trigger this task once for each group of changed dates?
If ((Field = pjTaskStart) Or (Field = pjTaskFinish)) Then
If (insrt(tsk.Text15, "PST") <> 0) Then
MsgBox "Warning! You have changed a date that is linked to a line in the PST. As a result the PST has been automatically updated."
End If
End If
End Sub
</code>
FYI: The PST is an external Excel file that has its values automatically update via linked cells in Project.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
NateNate,
Yes, as far as I know, there is no "collection" of task changes. Remember, a collection is a group of objects and a change isn't an object.
I see you found one of the posts I responded to regarding paste links. If you have ABSOLUTE file discipline management, then you might be okay with paste links, but since there is a much better alternative (i.e. VBA) to do what you need I'd avoid the paste
link idea. As Clint Eastwood said in his Dirty Harry movie, "Do you feel lucky?"
There have been various posts with code to export Project data to Excel. Unfortunately I find the search capabilities of these forums to be sorely lacking so rather than a link, here is some sample code you can adapt.

Help (Task/Calendar Display on home screen)
I need some guidance on how to display my tasks/calendar on my home screen. If there is a way to perform this task I would greatly appreciate it if someone can help, or if there is an application I can download. I previously had the Pearl and I became reliant on this quick view from my home screen.
Hi there!
FYI -- you've posted this to the Forum Feedback and Ideas forum...not usually for direct assistance. But, don't double-post, we will have this moved momentarily to the correct place:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board?board.id=BlackBerryDeviceSoftware
That way, the right experts will have the best visibility.
Good luck!
