Graphical work flow protocol

Experts,
which T-Code shows the graphical work flow protocol ? Or how can a visulize a  SAP work flow ?
Thanks in advance
Jörg

Hi Gopi,
Workflow Template and workflow tasks are part of SAP Business workflow.
A business workflow is an executable process embedded in SAP applications that you use to automate business processes. 
You can find more info here.

  • Work Flow Process in OWB 9.0.3.0.1

    I would like to generate a work flow process to execute the mappings with condition as if a mapping success continues with de execution of the other mapping. In this version of OWB there is not implemented any process flow and I would like to Know how can i do this process flow.

    Hi,
    I guess there are a lot of OWB project people that have similar needs as you.
    My needs have two main reasons:
    Managing incremental loading - I need to know last time a specific mapping ran (start-, end time and status). This might be tricky however, as clocks on different instances might be out of sync - use NTP (network time protocol sync) or maintain source system mapping time in supporting tables.
    Modularizing workflows with lots of mappings - current workflow operators force you to implement everything in a single process to maximize parallellism - because you cannot wait for events outside of your subprocess. Modularizing is achieveable with a workflow event publish/subscripe scheme or a function that blocks until a specific process with the same top_level_execution_audit_id finishes. If I settle for a little less parallellism, just querying the status of the process will do.
    Such functions can be implemented around the public view ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXECUTIONS, but it would have been really nice if they were a part of the OWB library.

  • Work Flow for FCP-Motion-DVD Studio

    All right, this is all new. Earlier this morning, I was able to finally go from FCP to Motion to DVD Studio, burned a DVD, and was able to play it on MAC, PC and home DVD player. Then, I edited another video in FCP, and think I lost the handle.
    What is the work flow and what are the export/import settings for broadcast quality when needing to edit in FCP, add changes in Motion, and Burn in DVD Studio:
    1. Edit in FCP, export as what?
    2. Open Motion and import ??, make edits, export as what ??
    3. Open DVD Studio, import ??, create menu, etc., build and format, then Burn.
    Do I bring it in to Compressor out of FCP? I don't want to compress it.
    Thanks
    g5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    umm, you'll find answers for these questions in those big books that came in your software boxes. you're asking questions that only you can determine based upon the video format you're working with, the graphics you want to use and how much video you're wanting to stick on a dvd.
    you have to compress to mpeg2 to get whatever video you're working with in fcp onto a dvd.
    time to open the manuals and do the tutorials.

  • Work flow configuration

    hi all,
    I have a problem regarding the work flow configuration as from work flow developer i am taking a role of work flow adminstration for a new role out. I have problem configuring the swu3 tcode for new SAP ECC6.0. please let me know what are the necessary work bench requests and custom requests needed to be done and transported to production.
    I have a problem with the new configured SAP ECC 6.0 in swdd the view is not changing from Tree mode to Graphical mode please help with this issue.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Krishna C M

    Hello Chaitanya,
    The option to change the modeling view is disabled in ECC 6.0, which is Graphical(Network) by default. But you can have a similar type of view of the steps in the displayed in the workflow definition under the navigation area tab. This is present to the left in the screen of workflow builder under the Information area.
    From the SAP online help you can see that "You can only use the graphical modeling view if you are working with the SAPGUI for Windows. If you call the Workflow Builder using a different SAP GUI, the tree view is displayed automatically."
    But still if you want to see the tree view of a workflow definition just change the tab "Graphical Tab" to "Tree Modelling" which is present at the top of the workflow graphical diagram beside the Information area tab.
    Hope this will help you.
    Regards,
    Samson

  • Problem with PO Work Flow

    Hi Gurus,
                   I am working on PO work flow. when I create a PO in workflow builder start event is getting into disable mode.
    Why its happening like that I could not understand.
    Can anybody please help me to find why the start event (Release Step Created) is going to disable mode ?  Is there any basis settings are required?
    Thanks.
    Ranganadh.

    Hi Aditya and Narin,
                    Thanks for your reply.
                    What I am saying is I have copied the standard workflow and using that. I have activated the ReleaseStepCreated event in Start Of events Tab. But when I create a PO automaticallu it is getting in to deactivated mode. Again I am activating it and creating the PO still its going to deactivated mode.
    Evene in the SBWP if I click log and then graphic its giving me dump saying SQL Erroor 1555 occured.
    I think few basis settings are missed out. I dont know what they are and what to do.
    Please help me in this.
    Thanks.

  • Sap work flow

    what is the sap business work flow
    where can i get the material to study about it
    kindly do the needful

    Hi,
    SAP Business Workflow enables the design and execution of business processes within SAP application systems: Workflow processes are delivered as content in the SAP Business Suite. Additionally, customers can not only enhance those workflows provided by SAP, but they can also create their own workflows. SAP Business Workflow is at the heart of the SAP system. Through integration with Organizational Management and standard SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence for reporting and analysis, this enables you to manage business processes which fit into your organization, the application, and which can be used for auditing and business process compliance.
    Companies gain the following benefits from SAP Business Workflow:
    Many SAP applications deliver workflows as content with the SAP application. ERP, CRM, SRM are examples of SAP applications that provide ready-to-use workflows. You can change these workflows to reflect your company processes by using the graphical workflow builder or build your own from scratch.
    You can do detailed reporting on the process itself. For example, reporting on how many times each workflow executed, what was the average execution time, how long did it take people to react to items in their inbox, etc.
    Check the following links for more details:

    Hi
    Developing a simple application using steps "User Decision" and "Mail"
    Basic terminology used in the workflow:
    The workflow definition is the set of rules that determine the path that the process takes. For example, how a purchase requisition is processed, from the initial request to the creation of the purchase order
    A Workflow Instance, which is often simply referred to as the workflow, is a single workflow run. For example, the processing of a single purchase requisition for computers.
    The Tasks are the steps in the process, which have to be performed either by people or automatically by the software. For example, to check for the availability of the spare computers in the company.
    A Work item is the task instance that is performed as a single workflow step. For example, check that there are no spare computers available in the company.
    Agents are the people who process the tasks (via the work items). For example, requisitioner and a member of the purchasing department.
    Container is the place where all the data used in the workflow is collected.
    Binding is the set of rules that define which data is passed to which part of the process.
    Building a simple workflow application
    The central tool for creating, displaying and processing a workflow is the workflow builder (Transaction SWDD). Within the workflow builder you can create all components of a workflow, including all the containers you need for getting the data from one step to another.
    Generally, most of the workflows are started by an event (for example, when a material is created or when a new purchase requisition arrives). You define which data from this event needs to be passed to the workflow via binding.
    However you can also start any workflow directly. Let us create a simple workflow and start the workflow directly, using the testing tools.
    Call transaction SWDD. When the workflow builder is called for the first time, a newly created initial workflow definition appears or else last created workflow appears. In such cases you can opt to create a new workflow by pressing “Create New Workflow”(ctrl + shft + F5). The following screen appears.
    The initial workflow screen has the following parts:
    a. The start of the workflow definition, indicated by .
    b. The end of the workflow definition, indicated by .
    c. The area in which you insert the new workflow definition is indicated by .
    Now select the undefined step and select Create step or double click the undefined step. Now among the different steps chose the User Decision by double clicking on it.
    Developing a simple application using steps "User Decision" and "Mail"
    Previous
    Now enter the title for the user decision “ Please make a decision”. Also enter the decision texts as Approve and Reject. On pressing enter, the outcome values default to the Decision texts but you can specify your own names, if desired. Now we need to select the agent. Agent is the person to whom the work item needs to be sent.. Since this is just a beginning, we would hardcode the user name. Select the User from the drop down list and enter the user name to whom the work item needs to be sent. In general, this type of agent assignment is not done. Agents are generally assigned using the expression, agent assignment rule or organization object (job, position etc.).
    Now select Transfer and to graphic button. Following screen appears:
    Now we need to include a mail step to be sent to the requestor. Now select the line “Approve” and do a right click. Different options on shown on the context menu. Select Create.
    Now select the step “Send Mail” from the list.
    Developing a simple application using steps "User Decision" and "Mail"
    ...Previous
    Now enter the subject and the body of the message for the mail to be sent.
    Do not change the recipients. Our mail is intended for the persons who triggered this workflow. &_WF_INITIATOR& contains the value who executed the workflow. Since this is a test object, we are using &_WF_INITIATOR&. But we wouldn’t be using this variable in real time scenarios. We would discuss about this in the coming documents.
    Now select Transfer and to graphic button.
    A popup appears requesting for the abbreviation and the name for this task. Enter the same and press enter.
    Now enter the package as local object and press enter.
    Follow the steps 5 through 9 for the step “Reject”. The following screen appears:
    Press SAVE to save the workflow application. You need to enter an abbreviation and name for your workflow as shown below. You can change any of these at any later point. After saving, a number is assigned to your workflow starting with WS, as shown below.
    Developing a simple application using steps "User Decision" and "Mail"
    ...Previous
    To execute the workflow, activate it by choosing the activate button.
    Test the workflow by choosing Test. The following screen appears.
    Now choose Execute to start the workflow.
    Now the recipient would receive a work item in his SAP® inbox (Transaction SBWP).
    Now execute the work item by pressing “Execute”. The following screen appears:
    Choose one among Approve or Reject as part of the user decision. He can select the third option to retain the work item in his inbox and make the decision later. Now suppose that the recipient has chosen one of the first options. Now a mail would be sent to the requestor with the status of his request.
    Creating a Container element

    Pre-requisites:
    It is assumed that the reader of this Tutorial is aware of creating a workflow definition with the step “Mail”. If not, please go through the document on creating the same available, by clicking here.
    Steps:
    1. Create a workflow definition using the transaction SWDD.
    2. Let’s create a container element for Carrier id. Click on the “Workflow Container” on the left side of the screen (as shown in the screenshot below):
    3. Now double-click on “Double-Click to Create”
    4. Enter the details pertaining to CARRID here.
    5. Click on tab “Properties” and select “Import”.
    6. Click on “Confirm (Enter)”.
    7. Now the element created could be seen on the left side, below the “Workflow Container”.
    Creating a Container element
    Previous
    1. Create a “Mail” step by double-clicking on “Undefined” step in the workflow.
    2. Enter the recipient details in the “Recipients” box.
    3. In the subject line, enter “Carrid value entered is:” and click on “Insert Expression”.
    4. Select the element “Carrid” from the list.
    5. Similarly enter the content in the “Body” area.
    6. Save and activate the application.
    Testing the Workflow application:
    7. Test the workflow by clicking F8.
    8. Enter the value of the Carrid as shown above and press execute.
    9. A mail would be sent to the recipient mentioned earlier with the carrid value entered.
    Condition Step
    Agenda:
    This document details about the steps “Condition”.
    Pre-requisites: It is assumed that the reader of this document has a preliminary understanding of workflow and has worked with the container elements earlier. If not, please go through the first two Tutorials of workflow available in this site. (More details)
    Procedure:
    1. Create a new workflow definition.
    2. Create a container element, CARRID (as demonstrated in tutorial 2).
    3. Now click on undefined step and create the step “Condition”.
    4. Enter the step name of your choice.
    5. We would have the following condition here:
    If carrid = ‘AA’.
    Do this.
    Else.
    Do this.
    Click on “Click here to create a new condition”. Following screen appears.
    Double click on “Carrid”. Next click on “=” and enter the value “AA” in the constant field and press ENTER.
    Enter the outcome names of your choice as shown above.
    Click on “Transfer and go to graphic”.
    As shown above, there are two branches here. One navigates to true, if CARRID = ‘AA’ else the control takes the branch “False”.
    Test the above scenario by inserting mail steps in the above 2 branches and by passing different CARRID values.
    Condition Step
    Agenda:
    This document details about the steps “Multiple Condition”.
    Pre-requisites: It is assumed that the reader of this document has a preliminary understanding of workflow and has worked with the container elements earlier. If not, please go through the first two Tutorials of workflow available in this site. (More details)
    Procedure:
    1. Create a new workflow definition.
    2. Create a container element, CARRID (as demonstrated in tutorial 2).
    3. Now click on undefined step and create the step “Multiple Condition”.
    4. Enter the step name of your choice.
    5. We would have the following condition here:
    If carrid = ‘AA’.
    Do this.
    Elseif carrid = ‘AH’
    DO this.
    Elseif carrid = ‘SQ’
    Do this.
    Else.
    Do this.
    Select the “CARRID” using the F4 help for the comparison basis field.
    Enter the values of the carrid under the Comparison values with the corresponding outcome name (of your choice)
    Double click on “Carrid”. Next click on “=” and enter the value “AA” in the constant field and press ENTER.
    Click on “Transfer and go to graphic”.
    As observed above, there are different branches for each value of CARRID mentioned above.
    Test the above scenario by inserting mail steps in all the branches and by passing different CARRID values.
    Using "Container Operation" step
    Agenda: Usage of step “Container Operation”.
    Pre-requisites: It is assumed that the reader of this tutorial has worked in the concepts that are dealt in earlier tutorials. (click here for more details)
    Scenario: In this tutorial, we would deal about how to work with the step “Container Operation” with an example of calculating the available seats by subtracting occupied seats from the maximum seats at the workflow level.
    Procedure:
    1. Create a new workflow definition using the transaction SWDD.
    2. Create two container elements MaxSeats, Occ_Seats with the “import” property set. You can use the reference fields sflight-seatsmax, sflight-seatsocc for this.
    3. Create another container element AvailableSeats without setting either import or export property as this is calculated within the workflow and used within the workflow. You might use any of the above reference fields as data types.
    4. Define a new step “Container Operation” in the workflow definition by double-clicking on the “Undefined step”.
    5. In this step, we would calculate the available seats from the max seats and seats occupied.
    I would recommend entering all the container elements from the F4 help instead of typing them manually.
    6. Return to the main screen.
    7. Create a mail step after this to send the available seats information.
    8. Test the above functionality by passing some values to the maximum and the seats occupied.
    9. Result would be as follows:
    Triggering Events Programmatically
    Purpose: This document details the procedure in triggering the business object events programmatically.
    Pre-requisites: It is assumed that the reader of this document is aware of the business object concepts and good in ABAP.
    Procedure:
    In this document, we would take an example of the business object BUS1001006 (Material) and the event CREATED. In general, this event is triggered whenever a material is created using a standard procedure like MM01 or any others. Now we would trigger this event from our own programs.
    Following are the screenshots of the business object BUS1001006 and the event CREATED. Go to transaction SWO1 for more information of the business object.
    Double-clicking on the key field parameter gives you technical information of the field.
    In order to trigger an event programmatically, we would use the function module SWE_EVENT_CREATE.
    Following is the sample code to trigger the events programmatically:
    REPORT ZDEMO_TRIGGER_EVENT.
    DATA: KEY LIKE SWEINSTCOU-OBJKEY.
    KEY = '1163'. “ Material Number (hard-coded)
    CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
    EXPORTING
    objtype = 'BUS1001006'
    objkey = KEY
    event = 'CREATED'
    CREATOR = ' '
    TAKE_WORKITEM_REQUESTER = ' '
    START_WITH_DELAY = ' '
    START_RECFB_SYNCHRON = ' '
    NO_COMMIT_FOR_QUEUE = ' '
    DEBUG_FLAG = ' '
    NO_LOGGING = ' '
    IDENT =
    IMPORTING
    EVENT_ID =
    TABLES
    EVENT_CONTAINER =
    EXCEPTIONS
    OBJTYPE_NOT_FOUND = 1
    OTHERS = 2
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
    WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
    ELSE.
    WRITE 'Event Triggered'.
    ENDIF.
    COMMIT WORK.
    In order to test whether the event is getting triggered or not, we can make use of Event Trace. Switch on the event trace using the transaction SWELS.
    Press ‘Switch On”.
    Now execute the program developed earlier. Now switch-off the event trace using the same transaction SWELS.
    Now go to transaction SWEL. Here you can list out the events triggered in the particular period of time. Here is the event-trace list:
    Deadline Monitoring in SAP Workflow
    A major advantage of workflow is the ability to monitor the workflow steps according to a predefined schedule. Following are different deadlines that can be monitored against each workflow step:
    • Requested Start
    • Latest Start
    • Requested End
    • Latest End
    In this example, we will define a deadline to the User Decision example created earlier (click here). Following is the screenshot of the application developed using the User Decision example:
    We would extend this example to the deadline monitoring.
    In the User Decision step, click on the “latest end” tab.
    By default, No deadline monitoring is active (as seen in the above screenshot).
    Choose the “Work Item Creation” from the list box.
    After selecting “Work Item Creation”, chose an offset of 5 minutes. This means that the work item must be executed within 5 minutes of the creation, if not this would trigger.
    Deadline Monitoring in SAP Workflow
    Enter recipient details to whom the message to be escalated, if the work item is not executed with in 5 minutes after work item creation.
    Save and activate the workflow definition.
    Testing the workflow application:
    • Execute your workflow.
    • Check for the work item in the SAP Inbox. This time do NOT execute the work item.
    • Wait for the deadline to be triggered. After that, a deadline message is delivered to the recipient mentioned in the “Latest End” tab. See the screenshot below.
    Don’t worry if the deadline message doesn’t appear immediately after 5 minutes. This depends on various factors including how the deadline monitoring program is scheduled and also on the availability of the background processors.
    Use SWWA to check how the deadline monitoring program is scheduled in program.
    For example, assume that our work item has been created at 09:10 hrs and the deadline message is expected to trigger at 09:15 hrs. From the above screenshot, it is understood that the background program is scheduled to execute for every 3 minutes. Assume that the last run of the program is at 09:14hrs and the next run is expected at 09:17hrs. So even our deadline expires at 09:15, the deadline message would appear only at 09:17hrs after execution of the background program.
    Some more points
    In our above example, we have used the deadline on the “Work Item” creation time. i.e., 5 minutes after creation time, the deadline message would be sent. Now we would check the other option “Expression”. Here we can mention the date and time, when the deadline message should appear irrespective of the work item creation date/time.
    As seen in the above screenshot, we can provide the target date and time by which the task should be finished. Container elements could be used in this case. Please refer to our example on creation of container elements (click here).
    Personal Substitute in Workflow
    Requirement: Need to have at least one substitute who can act upon work items in your absence.
    Important: The appointed substitute would be able to see all your work items. A substitute cannot be assigned for only particular area of organization or any other item. So need to ensure that the substitute have the necessary authorizations to act upon the work items.
    Procedure:
    1. Go to SAP Business Work Place (TCode: SBWP)
    2. Now from the menu bar, select Settings à Workflow settings à Maintain Substitute
    3. Highlight/Select the name on the window, in this case SAPDEV02 and click on “Create Substitute”.
    4. List of users available in the system are displayed.
    5. Select the required substitute user name. Following screen appears.
    Validity field describes about the period in which the setting would be active. Note that the dates on the screen would range from the current date to 31st Dec 9999.
    Regarding the checkbox “Substitution active”, it is advised to leave this checkbox unchecked for system performance reasons. A check in this box indicates that the substitution is “permanent” and if left unchecked it is treated as “as-needed”. A permanent substitute will automatically receive the primary users work items in their own box. In the case of “as-needed”, substitute must manually adopt the work items from the primary user’s inbox.
    6. Save the entries
    7. Click Enter to leave the screen.
    Adopting a Substitute in Workflow
    If you have been designated as an “as-needed” substitute, you must manually adopt the substitution. If you are designated as a “permanent” substitute, the work items would automatically appear in the inbox.
    Before adopting a substitution, there are 19 work items in the inbox. See the screenshot below:
    To adopt a substitution, select Settings à Workflow settings à adopt substitution.
    Select the corresponding User-id (if you have been assigned as a substitute for multiple people, then this option would allow you to select the user name of whom you would to check the work items)
    The corresponding user’s work items would appear in our inbox now.
    You can end the substitution, by selecting settings à Workflow settings à End substitution.
    Note: Substitutes can only adopt work items that are directly routed to the person for whom they are a substitute. If you are a substitute for a user (SAPDEV02) who has been made a substitute for another user (SAPDEV01), you will only see work items for user SAPDEV02 and not of the user SAPDEV01.
    Notification of Work Items via e-Mail
    SAP provides us with a facility of notifying the user via the email address of your choice when there are any pending work items in the SAP Inbox..
    1. Go to Transaction SO13.
    2. Click on Automatic Forwarding tab.
    3. Click on Create icon .
    4. Enter the details in the above screen.
    5. Click ENTER to complete the entries.
    6. Now the notification would be received at the provided email address if there are any pending work items in the inbox.
    Filtering the Work Items in the SAP Inbox using BADI
    This document details about the procedure in filtering some of the work items from the SAP inbox using a BADi.
    Following is the screenshot of the SAP inbox, before implementing BADi:
    The BADi that is used in filtering the work items is WF_BWP_SELECT_FILTER. To implement the BADi, go to transaction SE18. From the menu, select Implementation à Create. (See the screenshot below)
    Enter the implementation name and press ENTER
    Enter any meaningful short text for the implementation and click on the tab “Interface”
    The implementing class, ZCL_IM_BWP_SELECT_FILTER, is automatically proposed. Double click on the implementing class name.
    You are now navigated to the class builder. Now double-click on the method name shown on the screen (see the snapshot below)
    Now let us filter out the work items belonging to the task TS2000066. See the code below:
    Activate the method and also the implementation. In the state of active, you wouldn’t be able to make any changes. To make any changes, we need to deactivate it and then make the changes.
    Now check the inbox and would notice that the work items related to that task are no more appearing.
    To notice the differences, try activating and deactivating the BADi implementation.

  • Work Flow Process in a Support Project

    Hi Gurus,
                 Could you mail the work flow Process of Solving a Ticket.ie Introducing a New configuration and its Authorizations?
    Regards,
    Sarosh

    Hi,
    I guess there are a lot of OWB project people that have similar needs as you.
    My needs have two main reasons:
    Managing incremental loading - I need to know last time a specific mapping ran (start-, end time and status). This might be tricky however, as clocks on different instances might be out of sync - use NTP (network time protocol sync) or maintain source system mapping time in supporting tables.
    Modularizing workflows with lots of mappings - current workflow operators force you to implement everything in a single process to maximize parallellism - because you cannot wait for events outside of your subprocess. Modularizing is achieveable with a workflow event publish/subscripe scheme or a function that blocks until a specific process with the same top_level_execution_audit_id finishes. If I settle for a little less parallellism, just querying the status of the process will do.
    Such functions can be implemented around the public view ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXECUTIONS, but it would have been really nice if they were a part of the OWB library.
    Regards, Hans Henrik

  • Photoshop/Fireworks/Dreamweaver work flow

    Hi chaps - I am a newbie and have been doing weeks of
    research - I currently have CS2 but would consider CS3 if I REALLY
    need to (though money is a problem at the moment). Here though, my
    dilemma. I am a broadcast designer (reasonable knowledge of
    Photoshop) who needs to learn how to make a web-site and I want to
    do so correctly using the best tools for the job and the best
    techniques. I'm learning a little html but would like to develop a
    work flow that reflects my existing designer-type knowledge. I've
    been working through lots of tutorials, I have bought some from a
    couple of excellent companies (guess I shouldn't mention their
    names) but they are excellent but even with their CS3 tuts (which
    are the most up to date) they work with tables a lot ( and I've
    been told to learn CSS not tables) and the Photoshop tuts say
    'slice', optimize images and even create rollovers in Photoshop,
    Fireworks tuts say do it all in Fireworks, Dreamweaver tuts say do
    it all in DW. Can anyone help please ? I've gained a lot of great
    knowledge about the 3 packages from my training but not the BEST
    way of integrating them.
    Any advice welcome and I'm sorry about the length of the
    post. Regards Roger

  • Losing Edits?!?... Am I having a Work Flow Problem???

    OK, so this is what I am working with...
    All Graphic Designers are on Mac OSX Snow Leopard running Adobe InDesign CS5
    All Editors/Writers are on PC (various versions of windows?) running Adobe InCopy CS6
    We are all working off a server to share these files...
    This is our current "work flow", I've created .icmt files for the Editors/Writers to start their content in.
    I have also created .indt files for the Graphic Designers to start the layout process.
    Once the Editors/Writers have opened a .icmt file and entered the content, they save the file out as .icml files, then notifies the Designers that the content is ready to be placed.
    The Designer then opens the .indt file and places the .icml files into the layout (this document usually runs about 16 letter size pages with approximately 30 assignments (.icml files)).
    The file is then saved as a .indd file.
    Now during the editing process while the designer is still laying out the document, the Editor/Writer opens the .indd file in InCopy and checks out an assignment to start their edits... and on several occasions after spending a good amount of time on edits, they check it back in, but they lose ALL of their edits that they just made???  What are we doing wrong here (sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't)?
    If anyone could help me, i'd very much appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    Hello. I am recently having problems with my
    PowerBook. Hope you guys could help out =)...
    Firstly, I am having that 'beach ball problem' where
    the color beach ball keeps spinning and spinning when
    I'm loading applications or even using Safari.
    Secondly, I went to Disk Utility and did a 'Verify
    Disk Permissions'. My results are as follows:
    Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
    Volume Header needs minor repair
    The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    I'm so lost and worried now! My questions is, my hard
    disk going to crash or something? I have no backup at
    all! Help Help!
    PowerBook G4 15-inch   Mac OS X
    (10.4.3)  
    Don't know about the beach ball. But the message indicates that the disk is probably OK. However, you cannot repair a disk while the system has it mounted; esp. the startup disk. You have to startup up using another disk; e.g., the install CD/DVD. Then you can run the disk utility and repair your main disk.

  • DVD formatting and work flow questions

    It’s been about ten years since I was involved in a DVD project. I am trying to catch up and thought a post on this forum might speed my way considerably. TIA to anyone who can help me out.
    Project info: I have authored a Keynote presentation on California and the Civil War. (Visit www.bearriverbooks.com if you're interested in the content). I have two versions of the show – one at 4:3 (1024 x 768 pixels) and one at 16:9 (1280 x 720 pixels). I want to produce a DVD of the show to sell to the general public.
    Work flow: The workflow is Keynote exported as QT.mov to AfterEffects, where timing is adjusted and animations refined. I then want to build a project in Encore and import my AE composition (via dynamic link, if possible). I have built the 16:9 menus in Photoshop and tested them successfully in Encore. The total Keynote show comes to 45 minutes, and the data load is light, since much of the presentation is composed of still images. Should be loads of room on the DVD. All Adobe apps are CS5.
    Questions:
    1) Is 16:9 the industry standard DVD aspect ratio these days? (I assume that a big slice of DVD-watching occurs on 16:9 HDTV sets. Any current stats on HDTV vs. computer-based watching?)
    2) I notice that some DVDs I rent from Netflix are dual formatted (4:3 and 16:9). Any point to this now, or is the a relic of the analog past?
    3) What should my QT export specs from Keynote be? I’d like to get the best resolution I can from my Keynote graphics and sound. (Sound is 16-bit 48000 uncompressed.)
    4) What should my AfterEffects composition and Encore project transcoding specs be?
    This is where I am really hurting. I have no idea what formats are best suited for the general marketplace. Frame resolution, pixel aspect ratio, and frame rates still seem pretty arbitrary to me after my initial reading of the Encore docs and various Wikipedia articles. Interleave? Progressive scan? I have no idea what to shoot for. Any help in this area would be gratefully accepted, as would referrals to lucid research documents.

    What other options instead of QT do you have available?
    QT is the only animation export option. You can kick out png.s, jpg.s, and tif.s as stills but you only get one image per "build" state (which you can think of as a kind of animation keyframe). This route would require a lot of animation & transition re-building in AfterEffects, which I'd like to avoid. (Animating in Keynote is a bit like building a ship in a bottle, but Apple has created a remarkable set of capabilities, given that there is no timeline or layer palette. Truth is, I only see some tweaking necessary in AfterEffects.)
    If you want 1280x720 on a disk you have to make a BluRay disk.
    It looks like Encore is equipped to do this with a minimum of fuss. Does anyone have any rule of thumb about current DVD vs Blue Ray market share? This product would be sold at historical societies, museums, and in the educational market. Probably not cutting edge technology users, but not altogether out of the loop. (I.e., no VHS tapes!)
    Lord, I thought I was coming back to a digital wonderland. Damn.

  • Sharepoint Foundation Can not update External List by Work Flow

    Hi
    I try to update External List by other list Work Flow, in Sharepoint 2010 Foundation.
    Here is the manual： 
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff394479(v=office.14).aspx
    But it fails , and the error message is “The
    workflow could not update the item in the external data source. Make sure the user has permissions to access the external data source and update items.”
    Is there some limited in Foundation?

    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/0bb9ef28-3614-4db2-b19f-dd81e8cc2d42/the-workflow-could-not-update-the-item-in-the-external-data-source?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
    With no Secure Store in Sharepoint what we ended up doing was creating a new external content type, adding a new connection and picking a connection type of .net type instead of sql.  This means we needed to create a .net app as the go between but within
    .net we had all the usual tools for connecting to sql without permission issues.

  • Triggering a sub work flow for multiple users at same time.

    I have a scenario in which I have created sub workflow as an activity for approval process. This sub work flow should be triggered for multiple users at the same time and their decison is independent of each other.
    This is like creating multipe instance of the same sub work flow and then the sub work flow runs indepedently as a new work flow for each of the approver and the process is completeded for approver independently.
    How can this be achieved?

    Tyr to do like this,
    1. First include the subworkflow in the main workflow template.
    2. Now include standard Block Step in the main workflow template.
    3. In the block select the block type as ParForEach.
    4. Before doing the 3rd point make sure that all the agents for whom you want whom you want to initiate the workflow, populate them in a Multiline conatiner element.
    5. Once completing 3rd and 4th points open the block step under the tab ParallelProcessing  assign the multiline container element name in the   for e;g if the multi line container element name is COSTCENTER then do the binding like below. the conatiner element COSTCENTERLINE is created by default once you include the multi line conatiner element under parller processing tab.
    &COSTCENTER[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]&   -------->     &_COSTCENTER_LINE&
    Now assign the agent of the subworkflow as COSTCENTERLINE , imean if suppose you have 3 entries in the internal table then three separate and for three different agents the workflow is instantiated.
