How to start workflow from a form?

Hi,
does anybody know, how to start a task after a form is submitted so the form data is passed to the task? I do not want to use "task start forms" since I want to use the same form definition for several purposes, and IdM does not allow me to use FormRef directive for the purpose.
Regards,
Vladimir

HI Santos.
I tried using the code : <Property name='postURL' value='user/processLaunch.jsp?id=Name_of_Workflow&op_flag=true&op_enduserId=$(enduserId)/>
But, it gave me an error : *"the reference to op_flag must end with the delimiter ';' "*
Thanks

Starting Workflow from Generic Object Services

Hi All.
We are on ECC6. In transaction MM02 when I excute 'Start Workflow' from Generic Object Services, no workflows are found. Can anyone help me with the following issues;
1. What is the underlying object in transaction MM02 (I believe it is BUS1001006)
2. How can i ensure that the proper workflows in this transcation are started through some
customisation, enhencement or user-exit.
Regards.

I think you have to maintain the Workflow Template as General Task and then only it will appear in the GOS.
Thanks

Start Workflow from particular Step and assign to particular group of members

Hi
We are working on workflow using CQ 5.5.
Is it possible start workflow from particular Step and assign this workflow to particular group of members dynamically(Using Process Step).
Workflow Name : Single Page Workflow
                    Start
                        |
                    Step 1
                        |
                    Step 2
                        |
                    Step 3
                        |
                    Step 4
                        |
                    Step 5
                        |
                    Step 6 (Process Step)
                        |
                     End
In Step 6 , we will start workflow for list pages dynamically , for that we written code as
public class PublishTranslation implements WorkflowProcess{
    public void execute(WorkItem item, WorkflowSession wfsession, MetaDataMap metadata)
            throws WorkflowException {
           WorkflowModel model = wfsession.getModel(item.getWorkflow().getWorkflowModel().getId());
           WorkflowData wfdata= wfsession.newWorkflowData("JCR_PATH",pagePath[i]);
           wfsession.startWorkflow(model, wfdata);
This code starting workflow from step 1.
I need help on
1. How can i start workflow from step 2 or 3 ?
2. How can i assign this workflow to group members ?
Thanks & Regards

Hello Ravindra,
Logically it shouldn't allow you to do that and same happening because start workflow call on model will always trigger the workflow from starting point (means the very first step after start component in workflow design)
To achieve this you have other ways, i would suggest to try below if it works for you.
1. Instead of creating a new workflow just branch it programmaticaly and route back to previous step
      List<Route> routes=wfsession.getBackRoutes(item);
                 Route route=routes.get(WHAT_EVER_STEP);
                 wfsession.complete(item, route);
2. Create a new workflow model which starts from second step and using code get access of that workflow
     wfsession.getAllWorkflows();
for delegation as mentioned by Yogesh, you can try wfsession.delegateWorkItem(WorkItem item, Authorizable participant)

I tried to do this by passing parameter in Event Procedure but i am getting error msg when i am opening the zoomed form.
If any one of u have any idea, give me a reply

If you choose the second alternative you should erase these global variables after the second form is opened
You can erase the global variable using:
erase('global_var')

How can start service from the spfile, on Windows 2003,

On Windows 2003, how can start service from the spfile?
connect to the database as sysdba and startup will start from the spfile.
Once I use wondows Service for shutting down and startup datbase it start from the pfile.
Which defeat my ability to change parameters at the system level.

Hi,
I'm not sure, but maybe your windows Instance service was created with
C:\> oradim -new -sid <SID> -startmode m -pfile C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\admin\pfile\init.ora
then, you need edit this service with command like below:
C:\> oradim -EDIT -SID <SID> -spfile C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\admin\spfile<SID>.ora
Take a look on this link before make any changes:

FaceTime and iChat?..how to start chat from my iPad to a Mac on iChat?

how to start chat from my iPad to a Mac on iChat?

Yes, that is exactly what I mean.
The iPad can only do FaceTime and FaceTime is NOT linked (compatible) with iChat.
If your parents have an older Mac, or are only on Leopard, Tiger or such, you could use Skype.
It's free. The video quality isn't quite as good, but it does work. Your parents would need the Skype program installed on their Mac. You can download the free Skype for iPad.

Trigger workflow from web form

HI Experts,
I have a requirement to trigger workflow when a web form is completed through a portal and saved.I also need to perform certain validations on the fields in the web form before triggering the workflow.The web form would then go the proper approvers and then I need to send notification messages on Approval or Rejection.I am at loss of thoughts as to how I can achieve this functionality.
I also need to send reminders to the approver every 2 hours till he takes some action.
Any suggestions would be of great help and would be rewarded appropriately..
Regards,
Narsingh

Hi Narsingh,
the solution depends much on the web form you are implementing.
Is this a standard portal application you are working on? Or are you developing also the form from scratch?
The previous answers just tell how you can trigger a workflow if the application doesn't trigger it itself.
If the web form is a standard application or built with process frameworks like HCM Processes and Forms/ISR/PCR, then the event is often published by default without any customization.
No answers, just questions...
Kind regards,
Mikko

Start Workflow from transaction

Hi ,
Please let me know, where can i subscribe my custom workflow to trigger the workflow if we want to start the workflow manually from transaction FV60.
Thanks in advance
Sarath

Hi
I am not very much sure about how the txn FV60 look and feel would be , but the solution to your answer is already in your post, Assuming that there would not be any kind of button on the application tool bar of the standard txn FV60, you might have customized it, in sucha way that you could include the button START WORKFLOW on application tool bar.
As per your requirement you want to initiate the workflow only in case when the end user clicks on the START WORKFLOW button, In that case I think by using the Module pool programming you can actually resolve the requirement. By just simply validating the SY-UCOMM , if the fcode is equal to the FCODE of START WORKFLOW button, then by using either SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT or SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW. You can start manually.
Instead of implementing some Badi's or User Exits..

How to concatenate values from one form to another form using calculated columns in sharepoint?

Im new to Sharepoint.
I need to know , how to fetch the x1 , x2 values from one form to another form x1, x2 fields, this wants to happen when 2 forms ID fields(Drop down field) are same.
ex:
first module I have 3 fields like, "Marketing ID" , "Company name" , "Vendor name".
second module I have the same related fields like "Marketing ID" , "Company name" , "Vendor name" and some more fields.
now i need to fetch the information from 1st module to 2nd module ( "Company name" , "Vendor name" ) when I select the Marketing Id(Drop down - field)
it should be want to show in Calculated columns.
Can someone make a suggestion on how I can do this.
Thank you so much for any help you may be able to provide.
Sincerely
Ahalya Babu

Calculated Columns can only generate a value from fields of the current item. And only some types of fields (for example, it can't use a lookup column).
Consider using a workflow to accomplish your goal.

How to receive parameters from a form and insert values in db using servlet

Hi friends,
My first question here.
I'm trying to create a Servlet that takes input from a form and process it and insert it in database.tablename.
My MAIN ISSUE IS WITH THE NUMBER OF COLUMNS THAT WOULD BE DYNAMIC AND THUS CANT RECEIVE THE PARAMETERS IN STATIC CODE.
Here is the form code
<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<form action="Test" method="post" />
<table width="90%" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
<th scope="col">Student Name</th>
<th scope="col">RollNo</th>
<th scope="col">Java</th>
<th scope="col">J2ee</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="studentname" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="rollno" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="java" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="j2ee" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="studentname" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="rollno" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="java" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="j2ee" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="studentname" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="rollno" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="java" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="j2ee" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type ="submit" value="insert values in the database now"/>
</form>
</html>
And here is the Servlet
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Test extends HttpServlet {
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String title = "Module: Process Result Values from previous page";
out.println("<html>\n" +
"<head><title>" + title + "</title></head>\n" +
"<body>");
          try
               Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
               Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/","root", "root");
               Statement s = con.createStatement();
ResultSet res = s.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM dbname.tablename");
ResultSetMetaData rmeta=res.getMetaData();
int noofcolumns=rmeta.getColumnCount();
               if(!con.isClosed())
          catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("Exception"+e);
out.println(e);
if(connectionFlag==1)
out.println("</body></html>");
doGet(request, response);
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
This is the basic code structure and I'm trying to figure out this special case with handling the multiple parameters:
1. I dont' want to use String []a=request.getParameterValues("studentname"); as hard code. The reason being the number of rows will be diyamic and I would like to get the column name and then then use an array of string to take values. But how can I connect these to form a query so that the rows goes on inserted one after other.
Thanks,
Mashall

Thank you for your help.
I'm something close to it but this segment of code throws a NullPointerException Error. I counted number of rows and columns using the methods getColumnCount() and getColumnName(i).
ResultSetMetaData md = res.getMetaData(); //Get meta data for the resultset
int noofcolumns=md.getColumnCount();
out.println("<br />Number of columns in table (including name and roll number) :::: "+noofcolumns+"<br />");
for(int i=1;i<=noofcolumns;i++) // access column 1....n
String columnname = md.getColumnName(i); // get name of column 1....n
out.println("<br />Current column name ::: "+columnname+"<br />"); //check if the name appear correct.
String []columndata = request.getParameterValues(columnname); //Get raw value in array
for(int j=1;j<=rows;j++) // here rows is number of rows in each column
out.println("To be inserted: <b>"+columndata[j]+"</b> in Row ::: "+j+"<br />");
//The line above thows null pointer exception.
}

How to get data from PDF form?

PDF forms can send data in url like GET or POST method. Is it possible to get data from url, like in PHP http://sever/file.php?item1=value1&item2=value2&item3=value3
In APEX url have specific construction and I don't know how to get value of items (1...3)
Please let me help to find simple method of geting data from URL.
Best Regards,
Mark

The APEX URL syntax is detailed here
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/concept.htm#BCEDJBEH
How to get it from PDF is another matter...
I'm working on an app that downloads PDFs with a Large amount of data as a blob, takes that blob and changes it to XML, then goes through the xml to validate each section of data and then add it into the schema that my apex app is referencing....
I didn't write the original code but I do know that it isn't a quick thing to implement and includes using some uploading some java jar files to your schema and writing some custom java code.
Someone else may be able to help with grabbing PDF data into the URL for the amounts of data you want to pass to apex.

Azuaniza Ariffin

Hi,
I saw a similar post by you on this forum, and to achieve the functionality you can try using InfoPath Form or JQuery with SPService to make part of the Form as Readonly. and in conjunction use SharePoint designer to create a workflow to assign task or send
email to user B.
