How to Rewind the workflow activity using PL/SQL API?

Hi,
Is there any API to Rewind the workflow activity instance? We have some timedout activities and wanted to Rewind them to the start. I can Rewind them manually from the Admin responsibility, but we have to do this in a program for some cases.
The Background process runs with the parameter timedout = No.
Thanks in advance.

Ram

Hi,
Yes - you need to use WF_ENGINE.HandleError to restart from the correct point.
There is a white paper on my blog here which explains how to do it.

How to stop the IDOC adapter using IDPI framework (APIs)?

Hi Guys,
We have a requirement to start/stop the communication channels depending on the Integration scenarios. But for IDOC and HTTP we dont have any sender channels.
Plz let me how can we stop the adapter ,so that no more IDOCs are received .
We are looking for some API (IDPI framework) if available.
Locking the RFC users is not an acceptable soln here.
Hope to get some info soon.
Regards
Dhanya

Hi Dhanya,
there is a way on PI side alone
for IDOC 2 steps needed:
1st: Determine all the IDoc metadata that is involved in your communication in IDX2 (basically all idoc types that the sending system sends) then deleted it all
2nd: Determine the IDoc port of the sending system in IDX1 (it should be an RFC destination pointing to the sending system) then Disable or delete that port
On runtime a validation of the loaded idoc metadata happens on PI and the sending side (experienced this on ERP6 & ERP5, not sure on lower versions >4.5), if the sending system determines that there is an inconsistency between its idoc structure against the idoc structure loaded in PI the idoc will be stuck in trfc queue (SM58) having error something like table EDI*** conflicts. In our case when you disable the IDoc port in IDX1 and there is no idoc metadata in IDX2 when the sending system tries to send idoc PI will try to fetch the idoc metadata but it won't be successful because the IDX1 port is disabled already.
for HTTP, you can try to disable service /sap/xi/adapter_plain in SICF but please consider the resending of the message should be handled also on the sending side.
hope this helps

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

How to stop the workflow

Hi. i want to know the process of how to cancel the workflow, stop the workflow.
i know ho to reject the workflow once it is initiated.
regards
Arifuddin

Hi Arifuddin,
Are you trying to cancel the workflow using PL/SQL, if so make use of API 'WF_ENGINE.ABORTPROCESS' to cancel any active workflow.
You can pass parameters as, 'ITEMTYPE', 'ITEMKEY', 'PROCESS NAME' and 'WF_ENGINE.ENG_FORCE'.
Hope this helps.

How to allocate the workflow to the action defnitions in solution manager

Hi,
we are having solution manager with the CHARM configured, and currently we are looking for the trigger of mail and workitem for change of action. the work flow is designed for that, but how to assign the workflow to the condition and processing type .
please suggest, points are definetly awarded.
Thanks and regards
keerthi

Hi,
Well, why dont you check the event that gets triggered during the Status change of the user?
This can be done by switching on the EVENT TRACE using SWELS txn and simulate the BUSINESS PROCESS and then check the event trace using SWEL.
After getting the required Business Object and event, Please attach your WF to that EVENT in the BASIC DATA-START EVENTS.

How to find the File name using the FTP Adapter

hi all,
how to find the File name using the FTP Adapter with BPEL.
Regards

Found the solution for this.
First In the mediator's routing rule use assign property $in.property.jca.file.FileName to $out.property.jca.file.FileName
In the BPEL's receive activity go to the properties tab and get the property to a BPEL variable. That should do it.
Thanks for the posts

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 close is the workflow & GUI in PrE 10 to PrE 8?

Actually, I'm not sure I'm asking in the right place - is "Discussion" the same as "Forum"? It's been awhile since I've posted in the forum and things have changed a lot. I seem to be going around in circles. (You know you're in trouble when you don't even know how to use the help forum :).
My one question became two when I tried to use this forum.
1) How close is the workflow & GUI in PrE 10 to PrE 8? Would a PrE8 manual be much use for PrE10? (Note: The last version I worked with is PrE 2 so I should know the basics. I just have to learn where everything is now).
2) I'd like to read through all the questions in the forum, but all I can see are titles under "Trending Questions". Is that the way it is now? I'd like to expand the question list so I can read the first few sentences - is there a way to do that? I used to learn a lot reading through the forums, but titles alone aren't very helpful.

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'
