How to pause Workflow

Hi Gurus
Is there a way to pause execution of workflow? It looks like this
1. Start of Worflow
2. Executing some action
3. Entering loop
3. Waiting 1 hour/day/month
4. Checking condition of ending loop
5. Ending Workflow
Maybe there is an event that is triggered every hour/day/month so that I could put inside this loop waiting for event. Any ideas?

I've had a similar problem working in an HR environment some time ago.
My solution was to use recursive calls to the workflow.
So basically the workflow consisted of a 2 branch fork
The first waited for events to check if the job was done, if so, the wf ended, the second branch had a deadline monitoring step waiting some time, if it was surpassed, it send an email and recursively called the workflow (with some binded extra data like nr of times it was called etc.).
You can use all sorts of logic in this kind of structure.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Hi,
Why do you want to trigger a wflow and what do you want to do with this trigger. Can you give more details of your exact requirements.
But, if you are looking for how to trigger, you can write a small ABAP pgm and schedule it as a job every night. THis job basically reads the table P1000-ENDDA for expiry date and if it reached today, then you can either trigger the wflow with SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW or use SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT to raise your custom event(for Business Obj. BUS7018, i think this is your BO and there are no std events right now, so you will ahve to add your custom event by extending BUS7018 to ZBUS7018).
Hope I am clear and this helps and if you need more details, reply.

How to use Workflow Background Engine in Oracle Apps?

I have created the development of a custom workflow,tested it in Developer studio in Workflow administrator and has been working correctly. I was hoping to implement this workflow using Workflow background process Concurrent request and move to production.Unfortunately when submititng the concurrent request I am not receiving any notification eventhough all the time Concurrent request always completes normal.(Also when submitting as concurrent request workflow is not prompting for the itemkey). Is it not possible to implement a workflow in the application using background concurrent process? Any help is appreciated.

Please note that Workflow Background engine is used to process workflows that are in deferred status. It is not used to launch the workflow. You will have to write your own code to launch the Workflow using one of the following methods.
1. Use WF_ENGINE.CreateProcess and WF_ENGINE.LaunchProcess APIs.
2. Register a Business Event, create a subscription to the event to launch the workflow and raise the Business Event from your code.
Workflow Background Engine has parameters such as Itemtype, Min and Max Thresholds, Process Deferred, Process Timeout and Process Stuck... which basically determine the type of background work it has to do.
Please refer to Workflow Developer Guide on how to launch Workflows and the uses of Workflow Background Engine.
Thanks

How to pause a imported .swf logo?

I've exported a 3 seconds turning Logo (.swf file, done by
After Effect)
Pls tell me how to pause the logo after it had fly out (in a
10 seconds slide)?
I've tried to pause the logo in After effect till 10 seconds
but the .swf export file size is HUGE!
I've tried to drag and extend the 3 seconds logo in timeline
to 10 seconds,
but i found out that the logo will became SLOW MOTION and
just turn into 10 seconds animation (won't pause after 3 seconds
turning effect),
So can i let the 3 seconds logo flying out, and pause it at
last frame till 10 seconds in Captivate?
Thanks~!
Lulu

Thanks Dexterous!
I've discovered a method to pause swf effect at last frame!
1. Output 3d logo using After Effect:
---- (12 frames per second + Resterized + Jpeg quality low +
no looping).
-----Uncheck the loop continuously box.
2. Import to Captivate using Insert/Animation
3. Under Options: Display for: rest of slide,select
Synchronize with project (Uncheck the loop) and Fade in only.
Now even the slide is 10 seconds,
my 4 seconds spinning .swf animation logo will show in the
slide
and pause at the last frame untill the slide finish!!!
So i can output swf animation with a very small file size!!

How to access Workflow variables in Form Designer?

Hello,
I am wanting to set certain subforms to readonly depending on which part of the workflow the form is currently on. I already have the JavaScript code working to set the subform fields to readonly, but now I cannot figure out how to trigger this and where do I keep a variable to keep track of which part of the workflow I am currently in.
I assume I will have a variable in the workflow itself and then I can use the Set Value QPAC to change the variable for each workflow step before it goes to the User QPAC, but what about within the form? I don't understand how the form javascript will know to execute, so how does my workflow "talk" to the form to set these fields to readonly?
Right now the JavaScript code is sitting in the root::initialize part of the form. I was assuming I could have something like "if my workflow variable is equal to XX then set this subform to read only". But, how do I access my workflow variable in the form designer?
Also, since I have digital signatures, I am having to pass all the form data in document variables, will this affect how I need to do this? I was also thinking of possibly accessing/setting a hidden field in the form, but thought the above way may be better.
I hope that made sense!
Thank you,
Jennifer

To follow-up, I spoke with Adobe support this morning and they said that I cannot access Workflow variables within Designer (besides those Workflow variables that are already provided).
He mentioned that if I use the hidden fields, that I would need to Render the form each time before going to the User to trigger this to happen. So, I am not sure what I will do just yet. I probably not worry about making the fields readonly for the time being; it was a little extra thought I had and isn't required for our process.
Thank you,
Jennifer
