Need help with Workflow Issue: One notification sending out non-stop email.

Hi,
We've created a custom PO Approval Workflow based on standard PO Approval Workflow and we've had this for a while now. Last week, we encountered an issue where the notification keeps on sending email to the Suppliers and Buyers. We found out that the particular notification_id in the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table keeps getting updated by the minute setting the MAIL_STATUS to INVALID then back to SENT then back to INVALID again and so on. We think that whatever is updating this table is the cause but up until now we haven't found what's updating it. Below are some information of our instance.
Oracle Applications: 11.5.10.2
Database: 10.2.0.4 64 bit
OS: AIX
Custom Workflow based on revision 115.127.11510.16
Customizations:
- Created custom notification XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP based on EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP.
- Created custom message XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF based on EMAIL_PO_PDF.
- Added #WFM_CC to XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF.
- Created custom attribute XX_PO_WF_EMAIL_PERFORMER and set as Performer to notification XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP.
- Created custom function XX_ADDTL_STARTUP_VAL right after function "Set Workflow Startup Values". This function sets #WFM_CC attribute and XX_PO_WF_EMAIL_PERFORMER attribute.
Not sure if the customizations have anything to do with the issue since not all POs have this issue. Have anyone experience this? Would really appreciate any help with this.
Thanks,
Allen

Is it possible to find out if a certain type of document is available inside a document-set by the help of workflows?

Is it possible to find out if a certain type of document is available inside a document-set by the help of workflows?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to find out if a certain type of document is available inside a document-set.
Per my knowleadge, there is no out of the box way to accomplish this with SharePoint Designer Workflow.
To find the content type inside a document-set, there are two methods:
First, open a document set, click “New Document” option, then you can find the available content type in the document set.
Second, open the document set content type, open Document Set Settings Page, then you can see the available content type.

Need help on Workflow of QM template WS24500047

i Everybody.......
I need some help in using the QM Notifications workflow
My requirement is I have to do some addition changes to the
Standard Work flow template WS24500047 of QM Notification
Functionality already exit:
currently this workflow template send a work item to
resolution owner and this will open QM02 in change mode .
Addition Requirement:
In this the modification I have to do is adding to the above
functionality, I have to send work item to another two person
(here persons are determined by some condition) and this work item
will open QM03.
Kindly let me know which task is calling QM02 and hw resolution
owner name is determined?
I have to found one task TS24500068 in which there is a rule
AC00000172 which determine resolution owner name from notification
this is using a standard function module whose import and export
parameters are passed by a container.
Please let me know which task or rule I have modify and wht kind of
changes needs to be done or should I go customizing the entire Template.
Please help me hw to proceed on the same.
Thanks in advance for all your help
Ravi

hi,
you will need to copy the std workflow template and add an activity step for display method of notification and define your own rule in that which gives you the list of agents to whom you need to show QM03
alternately, you can check out template WS20000035.

Help with Workflow FCP to Compressor then DVD Pro and Shaky footage

Hi, I am new to using a MAC and also to Final Cut Studio so if this question has been asked before or seems obvious then I offer my apologies.
I have a clip on the timeline which is a little shaky but I need to use it. I have added a SmoothCam filter and when I playback in FCP all seems OK however after sending to Compressor then eventually to DVD Pro the clip shows as being shaky again, almost as if the filter had been deleted in the Compressor. Could someone perhaps talk me through the correct workflow I should be using and maybe suggest where I am going wrong please. As I said this is my first attempt to author a DVD with FCP on my MAC.
The footage was captured on my Panasonic Home camcorder. The settings in my camera were set at 1920 x 1080 HG mode for High Definition.
In my camera user guide it refers to the images being based upon the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec so should I have set something similar when capturing into FCP.
Any advice would be welcomed.
Regards
Fred

Hi Mike I tried everything to try and resolve this one, I tried all combinations of field dominance. I also followed the recommendations from the Apple help to use the intermediate codec (search under AVCHD in the Help files) If I get anywhere I will mail you
Regards
Fred
PS I had some advice from another forum group who said to try and export a Quicktime movie into DVD Pro and not to send to Compressor, I will try that later and see if that helps.

Please help with workflow - iMovie '08 and Panasonic HDC-SD1

My two teenage sons play high school basketball and I've been videotaping their games using our new Panasonic SD1. Picture quality is terrific, but I've been taken aback by how much time it takes to get the footage from the camera into iMovie and then how long it takes to burn a DVD from that iMovie file. I'm hoping I'm doing something wrong and that there's a quicker way to get the job done.
The kids play four periods and I've been stopping and starting the camera in between, so I end up with four separate files on the SD card. Total time is usually an hour and change.
Okay here's the workflow from there:
~ When I get back to my iMac (2.16 Core 2 Duo with 3GB of RAM) I place the SD card in a card reader and import the four files into iMovie from there. Importing the hours' worth of video takes a couple of hours.
~ I then make one project with all four files for export to iTunes so the boys can watch on our Apple TV. Exporting, using the "large" format takes another couple of hours.
~ I then use the same exported file to make a DVD for the coach using iDVD. That process takes more than three hours.
I'd actually like to split out the four quarters of the game into separate menu items on the DVD. My thought was to make each quarter a different iMovie project, but it looks like I can't queue the four exports so I'd have to stay close to the computer to do them individually.
Thanks in advance for the help.
...Barry

If you only have 1 file per quarter, one obvious thing to do would be to edit out the time in between plays, the time-outs, and the like. That is easily done in iMovie.
Having said that, importing (and exporting) in high definition takes time, and your times do not seem unreasonable.

In need of help with workflow script...

I am currently using a DTP plugin called Layer Comps and layer groups for a DPS/ Print project. I am looking for someone to develop a script for exporting my single document into multiple documents – i am aware that there is a script for exporting spreads to pages. I would also like the script to have some additional features. If there is anyone who is capable of scripting or creating a plugin please contact me via this post. I am willing to pay – a reasonable amount, im not rich or wealthy so I do stress reasonable – but the compensation can be discussed.
In addition, I would like to learn the process of scripting as it relates to the needs I may have when teeking my workflow. If anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated.
p.s. I am using CS5

I think you should study using below book.

Help on workflow event container creation.

Can any one tell me how to create event containers in workflow? If the steps will be given in details it will be very help.Pls

Hi,
Events are part of business objects, events are linked to workflows, in the linkage you can link the standard container elements, like initiator to workflow containers and you can link the attributes of the (then) instantiated business object to containers in the workflow.
You can create additional attributes on business objects in SWO1 (make sure you don't change the sap standard, rather create a subtype and uses delegation (also doable in SWO1) to "override" the sap standard.
You can create additional containers in pftc, type is WS and task is your workflow number after pressing change you can tick the tab container to create additional containers and in the tab starting events you can change the event-->wf linkage.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Help regarding Workflow

Hi,
We have two custom fields (*Department* and Service Engineer) on our service request page. I have created a workflow that triggers when modified record is saved. The condition when it should trigger is :
IF Department = XYZ AND Service Engineer = ABC then send email notification to users....
It worls fine till here, but the problem is that it sends email notification everytime when the page is updated, therefore resulting in sending duplicate mails. Infact it should only send one email.
I have tried PRE function, but doesnt seems to be working.
Any help ???
Regards
Ahmed

Hi !
What you should put is the exact syntax below :
*[<IndexedPick1>]="XYZ" AND [<IndexedPick0>]= "ABC" (PRE('<IndexedPick1>')<>[<IndexedPick1>] OR PRE('<IndexedPick1>')<>[<IndexedPick0>])*
This means that the workflow will trigger only when Pick 1 = XYZ and Pick 0 = ABC and one of the two pick has been modified.
I think you will have to create another workflow "when a new record is created" to send your e-mail when the record is directly created with Pick 1 = XYZ and Pick 0 = ABC. Here the condition will be only *[<IndexedPick1>]="XYZ" AND [<IndexedPick0>]= "ABC"*
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

Aperture Workflow - need help creating workflow for photo management

Hi -
I currently shoot with a Canon SD890 (point & shoot) and a Nikon D300 (SLR). My photography is either personal photography or street photography. I may use some of my photography for a web project but that should not be considered right now. I shoot jpegs with the SD890 and RAW with the D300. I need to create a workflow that will allow me to manage all of my photos as well as the RAW vs JPEG aspect. Here are a few initial questions:
1) Should I separate the RAW and JPEGs in Aperture (two libraries)? One library for finished photos and one for negatives?
2) What folder structure should I use? Since I am not a professional photographer, I won't be shooting projects. I think something date or event driven would be best (preferably both).
I am interested to hear how others do this...especially if you use both point & shoot and SLR cameras.
Thanks for your help!

No, use a single Library. Aperture will have no problems with the various formats or with various different cameras.
2) What folder structure should I use? Since I am not a professional photographer, I won't be shooting projects. I think something date or event driven would be best (preferably both).
Actually those date or event driven batches of images are very logically "Projects" in Aperture. Simply name each group of images as you import into AP as a new Project.
IMO it is not good to import camera-to-Aperture (or direct to any app other than the Finder). Best is to use a card reader and use the Finder to copy images from the camera card to a folder on the computer hard drive.
Below is my Referenced-Masters workflow:
• Remove the CF card from the camera and insert it into a CF card reader. Faster readers and cards are preferable.
• Finder-copy images from CF to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive. I label that folder with the Project name suffixed with _masters, that way I can always find the Masters if Aperture forgets where they are.
• Eject CF.
• Burn backup copies of the original images to DVDs or to hard drives (optional backup step).
• Eject backup DVDs/hard drives (optional backup step).
• From within Aperture, import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location."
• Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing).
• Reformat CF in camera, and archive DVDs of originals off site.
Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media.
I strongly recommend that every Aperture user spend $35 and work through the tutorial CD Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 2 (Apple Pro Training Series) by Ben Long, Richard Harrington, and Orlando Luna (Paperback - May 8, 2008), Amazon.com. Note that the value is in working the tutorial, not in using the book as a manual.
Good luck!

Photoshop Help | 3D workflow in Photoshop Extended CS6

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/3d-workflow-cs6.html

Hi MikeJRW,
For a 3D scene, you have a few variables that can be moved in order to composite the 3D elements into a 2D background image. There's the "Ground Plane" which defines a flat surface where shadows and reflections display, there's lights which can control the direction and size of shadows, there's the object's location in space (not always resting on the Ground Plane), and then there's the camera view and attributes which defines perspective and field of view.
Most basically, you want to adjust the camera view (click on the canvas with the Move tool selected, until you see an orange outline around the document view) in order to move the ground plane around relative to what you're viewing of the background image. There are options for how the camera moves in the tool options bar, upper far right.
To get everything aligned so that the composite looks realistic can be tricky and time consuming. In Ps CS6, we've added a few things to make it easier then in earlier versions. The first thing you might look at trying to do is defining the background image's horizon and perspective using the Vanishing Point filter (search Vanishing Point filter for usage instructions). Now, assuming you have a Ps generated 3D extrusion from a vector path, export that layer out as a Collada (.dae) file, so it can be imported into the background image file. To import the 3D mesh file go to 3D > New 3D Layer From File... and the 3D mesh should align much better with the perspective of the background image. You might need to adjust the scale of the 3D object.
You also want to adjust the lighting direction to match that of the background image, so the shadows are in the same direction and length. You can do this by selecting the lights in the 3D panel to get a light control widget showing on-screen, or by Shift+ click directly on the shadow and then dragging it around.
I did a real quick overview here, and there are many step by step tutorials that go into more detail. I hope this helped.
regards,
steve

Should I delete all my .MTS files? Help with workflow desperately needed

I use a Sony NEX 6 to film a lot of personal projects. My workflow has so far been
Film Import to lightroom Export as H.264 to hardrive Import to iMovie
But now I am going to start using final cut pro x. Apparently Final Cut X is unable to import .MTS files so again, workflow at the moment is
Film Import to lightroom Export as H.264 Import to Final Cut Pro X and convert to ProRes
My hardrive has quickly filled up and I've realised that I stupidly have my footage saved in 3 different locations. Lightrooms catalogue (.MTS), the file on my hardrive that I export the footage from lightroom to (export as H.264 but file type says it's mp4?) and Final Cut Pro's catalogue (ProRes).
I want a system where my footage is saved in one place on my laptops hardrive, then I will back my computer up with an external hardrive.
How does this workflow sound?
Film Import to lightroom Export as H.264 Import to Final Cut Pro X Delete footage from lightroom Delete exported file on computer Backup laptop on external hardrive
Can anyone suggest a better workflow?
Will I come across any problems in the future by deleting everything except the ProRes files?
Is lightroom a good enough program to be exporting my footage from or should I use a dedicated converter?

Thank you for your help, yes I will be backing up elsewhere. I'm a massive noob at all this and after an afternoon of searching I think I've got my head around it. Best option for future footage
Import AVCHD directly from camera into Final Cut Pro. Convert it to ProRes if I have the space or if I'm not happy with the speed of working with native footage.
For all the footage that I have in lightroom but no longer have on a memory card my plan is to
Rewrap the files (I'm using a trial of clipwrap which changes the .MTS to .MOV).
Import the .Mov files into FCP, transfer file into FCP catalogue
Delete the movies from lightroom and the lightroom catalogue

Noob help with workflow

hi. Noob here.. so forgive my stupidity !!
what I am trying to achieve is this ... trying to get infopath form submission repeating values into a sharepoint library as fields.
So I have managed to get the following fields promoted to sharepoint.
Product - product1;product2;product 3;product 4
Price - £50;£60;£70;£80
Qty - 1;50;10;60
How can I parse these strings and extract the substrings into list fields ? Can I do this with a workflow ?
Appreciate any help with this ! thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use the workflow to extract the substrings.
To achieve your scenario, we should first retrieve the data from the InfoPath form.
If your workflow is running on an InfoPath form, you can use the technique described in How to retrieve InfoPath form data in a SharePoint
workflow.
If your workflow is running on a list item or document that is not an InfoPath form, you will have to download the InfoPath form from the library in which it is located, and use XPath expressions to access and modify data in the form. See
Specifying namespaces to use XPath queries in InfoPath for examples.
Then we can use the Utility Actions, such as the
Extract Substring from Index of String to extrach the substrings.
There is a good article, you can hava a look at it.
