Guided Procedures runtime via Parallels windows on a macintosh

I am trying to run GP through a virtual XP machine on my macintosh - I have all relative VPN connections established and I have checked the internet access and connection through my alternative IBM machine to ensure access issues are not the problem - If anyone has any suggestions they would be very appreciated - The issues are that I am able to connect and log in to GP runtime but the workcenter/application view does not appear in my browser???? Any ideas would be great
thnx in advance

Hi
You mean the entry in the UWL list? No, we don't modify this. It is exactly the title we have assigned to in the Guided Procedures Design time environment.
How else can a title be changed? And what kind of problems can occur?

Guided Procedures Runtime showing internal process steps in UWL

Hi
We have created a Guided Procedures Workflow which is working fine most of the time. However, sometimes, Guided Procedures runtime behaviour is rather strangely, it 's showing internal process steps as clickable workitems in the UWL. Clicking on the workitem causes a Null Pointer Exception.
Example:
Let's say, the workflows is as follows:
- Execute Callable Object "start"
- Decision "myDecision"
- If Decsion returns true
- Then execute Callable Object "A"
- Ese execute Callable Object "B"
Normally "myDecision" wouldn't appear in the UWL. But sometimes, it is showing up there. When we click on it, there is the following exception. After a while, everything is normal again (no internal workitems, no exceptions). Does anyone know what is happing here and what can be done to prevent it?
Kind regards

Embedding Guided Procedures Runtime into Non-SAP-Portal

Hello,
I'm developing a workflow using the Visual Composer and the Guided Procedures.
Unfortunately, the workflow should be accessible from a non-SAP-Portal. The users of this portal and the workflow should not be aware that they are actually using SAP-Portal content.
This only concerns the GUI.
Is it (and how) possible to embed the Guided Procedures Runtime GUI into a non-SAP-Portal?
Best regards
Alexander

Thanks a lot for your quick response.
Based on the information provided in your answer, I found the following document:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0975397-8e0a-2b10-4daa-bafd3a83e2a8

Deleting running processes from Guided Procedure runtime

Dear all,
Does anybody know how to delete running process i.e. incomplete process from Guided Procedure runtime dashboards. The administration workset contains archiving & deleting sections but they can only delete if a process is completed or Erronous or Terminated.
In need to delete a running process or incomplete process as some process instances are kicked off and left alone.
Thanks
-Bharath

Hi Ramien,
I suppose you have acces to the executionContext of GP...
You can use the following method to get the process Id:
String processId = executionContext.getProcessId();

Guided Procedures - Runtime "Create Time-off Request"

Hi Everyone,
Ive created a Time-Off Process using the tutorial downloaded from SDN site.
When I try to start the Runtime project (Employee side) I find the Processors Table in "Create Time-off Request" screen.
The Approver name is not correct is not what I expected!
1) How can I change (in the Design Time project/area) the Approver and HR Consultant parameters?
2) How can I hide (in the Runtime area) the Processors Table?
Furthermore, I would like to have more information about the Parameters Consolidation meaning. Could you help me to catch this meaning?
Thanks in advance,
Enrico

Hi David,
thanks for you useful answer! You gave me an answer of 80%!
Now I try to explain you my problem for the other 20%!
Now, ... I can't modify the Time-Off exemple, right?! But I would just like to start from this example and modify it!!!
Can I do it starting from the project code?!
Can I see the code lines which describe the Time-Off behaviour, so that I can customize it???? ... enfact, if I could do it, I wouldn't have to rewrite the whole code, and I also could understand the logic of TimeOff project structure.
Do you understand me? Was I clear?

Guided Procedures - Parallel Processes

Hello,
In guided procedures, when multiple parallel processes come to the final decision point, the automated decision point is processed based on the first process that arrives to the decision point. Is it possible to Hold a process until the other parallel processes are complete?
Thank you.
Jagadish

this is possible,
if you are running at ABAP,
you can create an enqueue object.
The first process which take the enqueue would "win" the other will "lose".
They can wait until the first process would release the enqueue (be dequeuing the lock)

Location of the attachments in Guided Procedures

Hi,
does anybody know the location where the attachments from the Guided Procedure Runtime are stored?
Are they stored somewhere in the KM or in the database/filesystem directly?
In the Guided Procedure Monitoring i can see the attached documents, but i need an overview over all attached documents in the gp process instances for one Guided procedure.
Thank you in Advance - Regards
Martin

Hi Martin,
the standar "Attachment" functionality in GP stores the file in the database, may be you can get the table names asking here in the forums, anyway you can create your own attachments page using UI Patters and integrating it with the KM so the attached files will be stored there.
This tutorial will help you:

Deleting Process Instances in Guided Procedures of NW CE 7.1

Hi,
I would like to ask is there a way to delete initiated process instances in Guided Procedures? I am facing this problem that in my Runtime there are so many outdates process instances (for previous test purpose) remaining, for example:
- Alerts & Warnings (24)
- Processes which I own (20)
- Processes which I oversee (20)
- Tasks that require my action (17)
I have found the following article regarding the problem ([Guided Procedures - New and Enhanced Features in SAP NW CE 7.1 EHP1|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/en/87/563934e3f34114901ff69cd041ba38/content.htm]). But it seems that it is only available in EhP1.
When I navigate to Administration -> Manage Processes -> Find Processes.
I only can see these 3 buttons: "Change Authorization", "Terminate Instances" & "Complete Step". But without the "Delete Instances".
Using the "Terminate Instances" did not solve my problem too.
So I resort to this:
Guided Procedures Runtime -> Administration -> Maintain processes -> Archiving and Deleting -> Maintain Process Templates -> Global Settings -> Global Settings for Process Instances:
Completed:
- Delete (After 1 day)
Erroneous:
- Delete (After 1 day)
Terminated:
- Delete (After 1 day)
Still, this did not help me deleting the process instances.
Could anyone provide me a solution?

Joon Meng

Guided procedures scenario, don't know where too start.

Hi all,
I am totally new to the CAF framework.
I've done a lot of reading and also did the tutorial "My first process".
The scenario:
I need to have a scenario where a user fills out an interactive form and submits this form. The data is also submitted in a SQL database.
His manager (a dynamic user) has to approve this form.
After the approval the form has to go to the inbox of a department where they can fill in additional information.
After filling in this information a feedback has to be sent to the user that filled in the form.
Problems:
- After doing the first tutorial i wanted to do some more turorials to learn more about guided procedures. All tutorials that I have found requires some beginning point like a Web Dynpro CO or something else. Are there more tutorials that guide you trough a process from scratch?
- The tutorials that I have found with Interactive forms are designed with the Adobe Designer, not with the NWDS designer. So if you want to add a CO Interactive form you can't use this one because you don't have a .XDP file.
- Is there a clear tutorial how to add a user dynamicly? For example in the tutorial "My first process" you have to add users while initiate the process. I also read the blog "Passing email address for Interactive Form step". But here the user still have to define to wich email address the form has to be sent. In my scenario the right email address is already in the Adobe form so I want to sent it to that email address.
- Does a user always has to go to Guided Procedures > Runtime in the portal or can you make your own menu items for starting a process, approve a process etc.
I know it are a lot of questions but I hope that you can help me out with at least some of them because it is really dazzeling right now.

The scenario you mentioned should be possible using GP. In response to your questions,
> The tutorials that I have found with Interactive forms are designed with the Adobe
> Designer, not with the NWDS designer. So if you want to add a CO Interactive form
> you can't use this one because you don't have a .XDP file.
Adobe LiveCycle designer comes packaged with NWDS. You can download it from service marketplace and run it standalone:

No, the runtime doesn't have to be used. Check out this thread for more details:

How to recover Guided Procedures Workitems

Hello,
We have Guided Procedures Integrated with the UWL for Workflow and some Workitems got deleted accidentally for all users . Is there a way those workitems can be recovered ?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hello,
The tasks may still be available in Guided Procedures --> Runtime --> Task that require my Action.
If they have been deleted from here also, it will not be possible to retrieve them.
Thanks and best regards,

Guided Procedures Theme

Dear All,
Does anyone know where I can change the theme for the Guided Procedures Runtime Screen or once a procedure has been begun?
Regards
Richard

Hi Gareth,
The Fork step is used in the XI BPM. There we can configure so that the process runs through the required number of branches. I am not familiar with Guided Procedures, which are configured in EP. I think BPM and GP are different from each other. Is that right? Can we also have Fork in GP?

I am trying to install Corel Draw x5 on windows xp pro via Parallels 7 and having an issue . it states about 99% through the install that it is missing a file any suggestions?

I am trying to install Corel Draw x5 on my new iMAC. I am trying to install it on windows XP Pro via Parallels 7. I have already installed some other programs without any issues so this has me puzzled. whenever the install reaches about 99% complete it says it can not find 2 files(sorry I cant recall what it was).

The error message I get is that iTunes is trying to incorrectly open Visual C services.
Is there somebody at Apple who actually read these things or are we on our own without any iTunes?

How to change the name of (Guided procedure) GP Runtime View?

Hello all!
At Design time in GP (Guided Procedure), I have added a runtime view at the tab "Runtime Views" named Additional Resources to a GP process. At runtime, when the process is started, at the left bar appears the button "Additional Resources". Is there a way to change this name? Any idea can be helpfull :).
Kindly Regards,
Luiza

Hi,
an other solution is change the block property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_TYPE from "Table" to "Sub-query" , than change at run time the property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME.
First create block and add items
The QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME will be for ex. "Select 'A' as col1, 'B' AS col2, 'C' as col3 from dual"
Set into items the column name property to col1 , col2 ...
At run time change the query to "Select 'Z' as col1, 'X' as col2 , 'Y' as col3 from dual"
in this way you can change the source of column value.
Caution because if you change value type from varchar2 to date you must cast date into varchar2.
May be that this way is valid only for view data not for insert-update, i don't remember.
bye
