Get 2 attachments in Activity step in workflow...

Hi All,
I want to send two attachments in executable task in SBWP.
One is to display the details of PR via ME53N and other attachment is to release the PR from ME54N.
I want both the attachments in a single task.
I am able to send one attachment to display the PR by binding the BO of PR to container in task as the default method set is DISPLAY.
Now to release the PR, do i need to change the default method of BO.
If yes, then it'l not work for custom display method.
Please suggest what is the procedure to achieve the same.
There may come the requirement that we need one more attachment in the task to see the structure of custom Approvers table via SE11.
Regards,
Guddan

Hi Rick and Rob,
I followed your suggestions but still the issue is not resolved.
@Rob : If i do the thinga as said by you then I will be first able to display the PR and then release it from ME54N.
             But that's not my requirement exactly. I just want 2 links in my activity step type. The user can click any one of them.
@Rick : I followed you but even if i do the binding with 2 different BO having 2 different default methods, till then i am not
              getting 2 links in activity step type. I am getting link only to display PR.
NOTE : This is just my R&D topic. I am just trying to explore this option of getting 2 links in activity step type. I even don't know   whether it is possible or not. So we can consider 2 links for any 2 TCodes , say ME53N and SE11.
Thanks and Regards,
Guddan

Problem in Workflow during activity step with "Requested start" time.

Hi,
I am working on SAP workflow.
In my workflow there is a activity step (wait step) where the workflow should wait before going to step after that wait step. To achieve this, I have used requested start as +10 min with WIS workitem creation. After 10 min, the workflow should proceed to further step but my workflow does not go further.
It was working good I tested couple of days back but now it doesn't. Can someone please help ?
Thanks.
Regards,
Rajesh.

Please check the settings in SWU3. Most probably the settings is not correct. You will get a lot of discussion from this forum if you search with SWU3.

Workflows : Objects & Attachments @ User Decision Step ?

Hi pple,
As Ramki said,I was able to create a link in the OBJECTS and ATTACHMENTS part for a normal Activity step.
But now my requirement is to create a Link at Objects and Attachments part in USER DECISION Step. Can I do so?
I tried copying the DECISION BO to ZDECISION and copied the the standard Decision task TS00008267 to my task say..TS97900168 with my BO ZDECISION, Now when I tried to include this task in the WF User Decision step, I am getting an error that I cannot include any other object other than DECISION BO.
I thought of creating a ZDECISION Business Object and change the Default method of this BO. But I am not able to include a Z Business Object in the USER DECISION Step itself.
Is there any way of instantiating the Objects and Attachments part with our own Attachment of the USER DECISION Step.
Please let us know.
Regards,
Raja Sekhar.

<i>But now my requirement is to create a Link at Objects and Attachments part in USER DECISION Step. Can I do so?
</i>
I am not sure I understand your requirement correctly. But an agent can attach objects or documents at a decision step by clicking on the Create button in the Decision step display.
<i>Is there any way of instantiating the Objects and Attachments part with our own Attachment of the USER DECISION Step.</i>
You can copy the standard decision task and define container elements for the BO references already available in the WF container. Bind them from WF to the step. These objects will then show up under Objects and attachments in the decision step.
You can use the 'Create object reference' wizard to create an object reference if it is not already available.

Ramki Maley.

How to get the Asset's current step under a specific workflow process via API?

Everyone,
Is there a way to get the asset's current step for a specific workflow process by the WebCenter Sites API? We are showing out the asset created within the WebCenter Sites in another application via its API. We would like some actions get to be done once determined assets went into a specific step of a workflow process. Any suggestions are welcomed.
Regards!

Here is some information from the FDK Programmer's guide page 115:
IMPORTANT: A valid text range can span multiple paragraphs, subcolumns, or text frames.
It cant span multiple flows, footnotes, table cells, or text lines.
It is possible for a document to have no text selection or insertion point at all. This can occur in
the following circumstances:
● One or more graphic objects in the document are selected
● One or more entire table cells in the document are selected
● There is no selection of any type in the document
So, I did select one or more entire table cells in the document in my first test. It's logical that the result was not like expected.
But selecting one or more entire table cells is a crucial requirement for my plugin, is there anyway to get things straight?
Simply put, I want to enable users to select one or more table cells in the document, and I want to get the object handles of the first cell and the last cell through Framemaker API calls. How?
Many thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Ellen N. Zhao

Activity step is not visible in workflow log

Hi All.
I added two task in my workflow and transported it to qualityand it got transpported successfully.
then i triggered the workflow and when i am checking the log
one of my task is not visible in my log.
Please guide me in this.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Anit

I feel like you have to re check the activity steps defintion under the tab Details , in this tab, you have a section Workflow log ---> Graphical represnetation make sure that you hvae selected the In All workflow Logs....
This could be one of the reason that why the workitem is not appearing in the workflow log....
And even under the OUTCOMES tab you have a check box where you can say that if this is the outcome then do not display in the workflow log so please even recheck under the outcomes tab of the activity step if any of the check box is enabled please disable it and then try to reimport to the other system and check...

Activity/step in the workflow has a blinking red outline

Symptom
Activity/step blinks red in the diagram, and the workflow goes to the Paused state (default behavior.)
The workflow Failed flag is set to Yes (true) which can be seen in an Explorer folder or view containing workflows or in the Home page Instance monitoring dashboard.
Cause
An uncaught exception during the processing of the activity/step.
Fix
To diagnose the exception, right-click on the activity/step and select Display logs. The fix will depend on the particular exception.
Preventative
In the future, avoid taking the action that caused the exception.
Note:
Specific exceptions will be described in subsequent discussions of this sub-forum.

Antonise,
The match/merge step is manual because In real time scenarios 'The person who have access to add records in Data Manager not necessarily can have access to approve or disapprove the new added records', so the case become one client say add records in Data Manager and the approval/disapproval, match/merge etc. steps will be performed by Admin or say DBO.
Thats why match/merge step have manual execution.
And your qyery if no match found then its should be automatic to next step "No because Admin still can refuse those new added records untill and unless he/she is not satisfied"
Rewards if helpful.

Background step in workflow remains in process: Workflow gets stuck up

Hi Gurus,
I have custom workflow for organization management. The workflow takes information from e-forms(notifications) and updates the infotypes.
The step which updates infotypes is run as background step.However in some cases the workflow gets stuck up in this step.
This happens irregularly (once or twice in a month).
On processing these workflow instances using SWPC , nothing happens and the workflow remains stuck up in the same step.
Also checked for dumps but nothing available under WF-BATCH.There is no regular pattern for occurance of these instances.
Can you please suggest what can be the possible cause of them getting stuck up in the background task.
Regards,
Rohit

Check ST22 shortdumps again. Look not only for WF-BATCH but also look for the intitator or the last processor's ID. Sometimes they would be the assigned the user to execute the step ecven if it's a background task.
Also, I would suggest looking through the code of the method that is being executed carefully. Make sure there are no 'EXIT' or LEAVE' statements. This could also 'sometimes' cause the background process not to return correctly. In addition, check that you are not executing an ever lasting loop.
If you have access in PRODUCTION, try to execute the method in debug mode to see where the program is inappropriately stopping (t-code SWO1).

Hi Sanjay,
Firstly are you using Send mail Activity or are u calling Fm SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.
Well I suppose u are calling the FM, in that case just check the data that you are fetching before calling this FM. This error is related to sql query so check your select statements used before sending mail.
Hope this helps.

Requested End Deadline monitoring for Background Activity Step

Hi All,
Workflow for MSS Position change has been implemented in the system.
When a request was created thru Portal the Workflow was triggered but it got stuck.
I found that in a background activity step there is a requested end deadline monitoring which was reached.
Since it is a background activity there is no agent assigned, then what could be the reason that the deadline was reached ?
Can anyone tell me when is the Requested End deadline triggered ?
Regards,
Radhika.

Hello,
Yes, if it's workitem creation time + 1 minute then it means the deadline (any deadline - Latest End, Requested End, Requested Start etc, they're all the same, they just have different names) gets triggered.
What happens next depends on how that deadline has been defined - it may just send a message to someone and do nothing else (ie it leaves the background process running). Or it may be a modeled deadline set up to end the process. Have a look in the Requested End tab to see what it does.

Regarding failuare of conditions step in Workflow.

Hi,
My workflow activity step calls webdynprofunction module.After screen is approved control goes back to workflow and condition statement immediatly below activity step get executed.However this condition always fails ie even after approving and getting approve value in container, reject branch of condition gets always executed. can anybody provide me solution?
Thanks & Regards.

Hi Sanjay,
Many have come across this situation earlier and couldn't really find out why this happens.
I would suggest that you delete the condition step and recreate it. Also clear the buffer using SWU_OBUF and see if it helps.
This is what i did when i faced this issue and helped.
All the best.

Auto execution of Syndicate Step in Workflow

Hello Experts,
Is there a way to auto execute the Syndicate step in Workflow?
Workflow is as follows:
Start ---> Branch ---> Process Success ---> Assignments ---> Syndicate ---> Notify ---> Stop
In this case, workflow is launched immediately, validations and assignments are successful. Control is passed back to the user and we have to manually select Next Step option by right clicking the workflow.
After Syndication, Stop is again a manual process.
Please let me know if there is a way to automate the workflow for Success branch.
Thanks in advance.
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
Start ---> Branch ---> Process Success ---> Assignments ---> Syndicate ---> Notify ---> Stop
As per your Workflow stated above:
- The workflow will automatically trigger if the triggger action is either Record Import or Records Add.For Manual you will have to trigger the workflow manually.
- For this you will have to set the workflow as Active and Auto Launch as Immediate.
- Out of the above mentioned steps the Start, Branch,Assignments,Notify and Stop will not require human intervention to move the task to the next step.
- Once your workflow is triggered based on the validation is the branch step the records will move to the Process user else default.
- The process user will have to complete his task and on clicking Next step it will run the Assignments automatically.
- On reaching the syndicate step the selected records will get syndicated provided the MDSS settings are correct and the Assignments have passed else it will come back to the previous step on failing the assignments
- The Notify step will run automatically .You will have to only click Stop for ending the workflow.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards
