How to map the workflows for a project?

We are developing a mini ERP package for a customer on Oracle 9iAS & Forms 9i. The business process contains lot of workflow process for ex:-Approval of purchase request etc. I am unable to understand how we have to map these flows using Oracle workflow in the project and integrate these using Forms 9i and Oracle Db.

Ramesh,
All the business processes can be modeled using the Workflow Builder tool which gives you a graphical UI of the business process. This is where you will model your approval process etc.
Once you have defined the business process you can invoke the workflow from your application and let workflow take over the business process.
You have API's in PL/SQL and java to invoke these processes.
Use the workflow guide on OTN to get more information on this..
Hope this helps

  • How to find the workflow for Change Request for the PO's

    Hi All,
    We have a PO which is pending and we can't receipt it again nor make payment on this. After checking the Approval history for that PO we found that the change request has been made. The change request was to change the amount to be paid to R39196 instead of R58237.00. We don't know where to check the workflow for the change request to identify the cause.
    what i need to know is how to find the workflow for that change request? The other workflows can be checked using the po_header_id for the PO's but i am confused with the change request workflow
    Your input will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Rgds,
    Sonia

    For 11.5.10.2 run this query to determine the keys to search on:
    Select wf_item_type, wf_item_key from APPS.po_change_requests where document_type = 'PO' and Document_num = 'put-PO-number-here'
    Then use the keys returned by the query to look up the Workflow in
    Workflow Administrator Web Applications / Administrator Workflow / Status Monitor
    Search using the results returned in fields "Type Internal Name" and "Item Key" in Status Monitor
    The query for change requests on a specific Requisition would be:
    Select wf_item_type, wf_item_key from APPS.po_change_requests where document_type = 'REQ' and Document_num = 'put-Req-number-here'

  • Does anyone know how to slow the audio for published project

    I have been using Bridget in Captivate 7 with a VTML speed of 95 which in development sounds normal and the appropriate speed but when I published the project, its like she goes through the narration quick.
    I see it happens only when the sentences are extremely short for example Step 1: Select tool but if it is two line sentences, the speed is normal.
    Is there a way for me to address this vs. redoing the whole speech syntax?

  • How to map the user to Responsible Person for Proj/ Capital Investment Prog

    Hi All,
    Could you please help me in mapping the user to Responsible Person for Proj/ Capital Investment Prog.
    Here is the scenario. I am trying to restrict the user to access only WBS under a cost center but not to have complete access to the Cost Center. I in my way to do, I found out that we can create a user name using OPS6 tcode and use the reference number of the user we created in CJ20N, so as only the person who was added in the Responsible Person for Proj/ Capital Investment Prog list will be able to access particular WBS.
    Now my question is, How to map the user which I created using OPS6 tcode to user in user master record. I am not able to map the user, as its taking any random name to add in the list. Could some one please help me in mapping the user created in the list with the user master record.
    Hope I managed to put the question clearly. If you have any queries, please feel free to ask. Appreciate your time and thanks in advance.
    Farooq.

    Hi Stephan,
    Thanks for your time and finding SAP note for me. I got the problem fixed. The solution for the above problem is, When we create a responsible person for the project through OPS6 tcode, we have a column called "Offer User", next to the person responsible. We must add the user name next to it. And we can add only the user name which is present in the user master record.
    It solved my problem, but when I pressed F1 for help in this column, there is nothing mentioned about its mapping or anything.
    Thanks again for the help, Cheers,
    Regards,

  • How to schedule a workflow for recurring executions: The solution

    Scheduling a workflow for recurring execution has been long awaited in WFA, perhaps from 2.0 time. The following document shows how to get it done. I've also explained the logic behind it. It’s very simple to use, meets every requirement which one can have from a scheduler and of course highly flexible. Let's go!! The Real stuff. What is this? Is this actually a scheduler? No. This is actually a command in your workflow, but a special 'magical' command. This 'magical' command logic is built using the answers for the following questions: Can a workflow be scheduled for a delayed execution in a future time? Yes, but only one execution instance. If you want the next execution, execute the workflow again providing the same set of inputs and the execution date/time.During workflow execution, can a command inside a workflow get to know what is the  name of the workflow? YesDuring workflow execution, can the command know what is the job execution id? YesIs there any programmatic interface available to know what are the user input provided or a particular job execution? YesCan a command inside a workflow trigger another workflow? Yes.Can a command inside the same workflow trigger itself? Absolutely yes. I've ticked all boxes needed to build such a solution. The solution is to make the workflow a smart workflow, so smart that it can schedule itself for the next execution. It no longer needs any other task scheduler to tigger it. WFA provides a large set of REST APIs for other 3rd part SW integration. But I  also can make  good use of these APIs to make smart workflows. I have always believed that WFA should not only be seen as a framework for automating Storage boxes or server, but just about any task( inside a computer of course) which is done manually. WFA is an awesome product indeed.  So this is a command called "Workflow Scheduler" which  you can put in your workflow as another command. Prerequisites: You need PowerShell 3.0 on your WFA server. I certainly could have done it for PoSH2.0 as well, but life for web interfaces  using PowerShell is so much easier with Posh3.0. Posh3.0 is a big jump from 2.0. WFA is fully supported to work on Posh3.0. Its available by default in Win2012, Win2008 can be upgraded, Win2003 users can't use it. Add credentials of a WFA Admin/Architect in you WFA itself with Name/IP: localhost Match: ExactType: OtherName/IP: localhostUsername: <WFA Admin/Architect Username>Password: <User Password>   3.  Minimum WFA version 2.2. This is only needed for Importing the dar. I've provided the command code in text too. The command code is the real deal. How to use it? If you have a workflow which you want for recurring executions, just add this command "Workflow Scheduler" in it. The command takes parameters for the workflow execution intervals. For example minsInterval for executing this workflow every x minutes, or daysInterval for executing the workflow etc.Now just like a normal workflow execution execute this workflow deciding what is the trigger time. Example: Suppose you want the execution every day at 10:00 PM.So provide daysInterval = 1 And execute the workflow for a delayed execution at 10:00 PM. You can pick the day to start as you wish. The workflow will execute at 10:00 PM and when this execution reaches our magical command "workflow scheduler", this command will trigger the same workflow  with same set of inputs for the next execution at 10:00 PM tomorrow. And so on an so forth. I’ve attached a very simple example workflow here to help you understand. An Example of a workflow scheduled for recurring execution Daily at 11:30 PM starting 10-March-2015     How to stop/suspend this recurring execution? Easy. You just abort the next scheduled job execution in Execution=> Execution Status. The cycle will stop. How to resume it? Easy again. Just resume the same aborted job. The cycle restarts. Can I change the schedule execution time? Yes. After aborting the current execution, you can resume the same workflow at a new time. Execution interval can't be modified as you can't change the command parameters. But the recurring execution now can occur at a new time. Where or which position to place this “workflow scheduler” command in your workflow? At the beginning ? At the end? Or somewhere in the middle. This completely depends on your choice. See some below cases. You don't want the next job execution scheduling to happen if any of the commands in my current workflow execution fails: Put command “workflow scheduler” in the end. It will trigger the schedule of the next job execution only when all real original commands of your workflow have passed. else not.     You want continuous job executions irrespective of the workflow command failures: Put it in the beginning. It will trigger the schedule for next execution before any of the actual command begin executing.     You want an approval before the next execution job is scheduled: Add an approval point before the comamnd.           So it’s all left to you.      Can an operator decide the execution schedule? Yes, but which workflows will be available to him/her for this recurring execution will have to be decided by the designer. This is a good thing to have as it serves for access control in a way. The Architect/Admin can now restrict which workflow can be put for recurring executions. Operators can’t execute just any workflow available to him for automatic recurring execution. And the workflow designer can also choose which scheduling parameter is to be made a variable for the operator. For example the designer want the operator to schedule a given workflow only for weeks Interval and not months or days i.e. he/she can only chose to schedule for weekly, biweekly etc. executions and  nothing else. For this the designer can define a User-Input variable only for weeksInterval parameter. It’s Done. You want workflow execution to be scheduled either for daily or once in 2 days but not any other. You can restrict this. Or he/she wants to give full freedom to the operator make his/her own decision about scheduling, he defined user-input variable for all scheduling parameters. The workflow designer wants weekly schedule but the day should not be a weekday: You can even do this. Is this flexible enough for my requirements? I’ve attached the very command code. You can modify the command as per your requirements. Suppose you want daily execution of a certain workflow at 10:00 PM but skip a day of execution if the day is a Monday. Modify the code check for the day and add another day if it’s a Monday. Its posh code and highly readable. So you can see how this can be used in a  variety of ways. This is the beauty of a programmatic solution. Its highly flexible, it allows users to design solution based on their requirements. Flexibility is the heart & soul of WFA. Thats why I like it. I have a workflow but I don't want to modify it by adding a new command in it. Can I still use this solution? Yes but with WFA 3.0 on wards. WFA3.0 allows to create modular workflows. Create a parent workflow with you actual workflow as a child workflow in it. Add our “workflow scheduler” command too. So now you don't need to touch your existing workflow. I've attached a workflow example here.   Have fun!! sinhaa  

    Providing a new version 1.1.0 of the command "WFA Schedular" Changes made: Added conditional String Representation based on the Scheduling parameter provided. Provided check for the right number of parameters passed into the command.Added a new parameter "Expiry Date" to automatically stop the recurring execution upon expiry.Check for Posh3.0 version in code.Have Fun!! sinhaa Below example for:Schedule a workflow for recurring execution every alternate day i.e. once in 2 days at 10:30 PM starting 06-Jul-2015 (Today's date is 02-Jul-2015) . The recurring workflow execution  should expire on 31-Dec-2015 and stop.  

  • How to get the ItemKey for a Workflow triggered by an event in Oracle Apps

    Hello,
    I have added a custom sub process to the seeded "OM Order Header" workflow. The process sends a notification. There are a few attributes in the body of the message tied to this notification, to which I am trying to assign values to using the syntax:
    SetItemAttrText (itemtype, itemkey, attrname, attrvalue).
    I have the internal names for the item type and attribute name, but don't know how to get the value for the item key. I understand the item key is supposed to be unique for each item type and is automatically generated by the workflow engine when the work flow fires. Is there a built-in function or some means to get this value?
    Regards,

  • How to Initiate the Workflow from Java webdynpro?

    Hi All,
    I am developing Customized WD application for ESS, which in turn having integration with Workflow.
    Now How to Initiate the Workflow coding part in Webdynpro Development.
    Through Adaptive RFC Model, i created model using sap_wapi_start_workflow RFC
    Can anybody provide the sample code on this!!!
    What are the stpes i have to follow to this Workflow Initiation from WD Java..
    Thanks In Advance
    Krishna

    Krishna,
    What Alejandro is mentioning that create a RFC which accesses you workflow on ABAP end. At your Java side just make the call the BAPI.
    So you need a BAPI say ZMYBAPI which accesses your ZWORKFLOW.  Now on Java side create a WD project which accesses ZMYBAPI.
    For information on how to connect to a BAPI please refer this [link|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/webdynpro?rid=/library/uuid/49f2ea90-0201-0010-ce8e-de18b94aee2d#15]

  • How to Map the Unit field  in case of DSO and INFOCUBE

    Dear Experts,
    I have a issue ,Please help me to solve this
    I have DSO as provider ,
    And, i have to map transformations  btw the Datasource and DSO.
    In generic Data source,  i have unit fields like BASME,MEINS (Quantity units) & STWAE (currency field)
    and normal Quantity fields  like KWMNG,OAUME(quantity related),OAUWE (value related).
    In DSO data fields as Key figure info objects like  0Quantity (which have 0Unit as unit of measure) and some other  key figures which have there respective unit of measure in info object  definition.
    So you Please tell me how to map the Quantity ,Amounts, unit fields to key figures that we have.
    (How it will be for both DSO and Info cube is there any difference?)
    Edited by: AnjunathNaidu on Jan 18, 2012 1:20 PM

    Navasamol ,
    If it is works ,will u please tell me what is the difference ,if the transformations btw data source and DSO and
    what is the difference btw data source and info cube and btw DSO to Infocube or cube to cube .
    And i have  seen the Quantity fields  and there respective unit fields are mapped directly  to key figure info object
    in case of Info cube . Its working fine .
    If only 1:1 mapping allowed in DSO data fields key figures and there respective unit of measure characteristic.
    why this difference btw DSO and Info cube can any one explain me in detail.
    Expecting your valuable suggestions.

  • How to purge the workflow which is in process

    Hi Friends,
    I am facing one problem in the AME Workflow.
    when a user submit a page for approval process, workflow engine invokes . and in the hr_api_transcations table transacation id is created for that workflow transacation. now the problem is, if i purge that workflow process using concurrent program 'PURGE OBSELETE WORKFLOW RUNTIME DATA' . it is deleting the workflow. but when i see the hr_api_transacation table still the transacation id for that workflow is active.
    Example :-
    when i see through through the responsibility (workflow administrator web applications)=>Administrator workflow=>Status monitor
    when i type the item key say some x and search for the workflow status i cant see the workflow status. i can see it is deleted.
    but when i type the same item key in the hr_api_transacation
    like :- select * from hr_api_transactions where item_key='X' i can see the status of this transacation is active and workflow is in pending.
    can anyone explain me why system is behaving like.. how to stop the workflow process and how to delete the transacation id from the table.
    Thanks in advance
