How to stop a Workflow

Hi ,
I initiated a purchase requisition from DTS form of Oracle Project Contracts.
This process initiated a Workflow "OKEDTS"
However, the workflow was not able to complete because of some functional issues.
Now it is struck somewhere in between and triggering notification to user every minute notifying Failure.
How to stop this workflow ??
i waited for 3 days for timeout, but its still runing.

Hi,
You can cancel the workflow in the workflow details page in the worfklow administrator resp. You can see the link below.

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 stop a workflow after appraisal is deleted / BUS7026

Hello dear workflow experts,
I want to automatically stop a workflow for business object BUS7026 after the appraisal is deleted with transaction PA30. For this i created a new event but although I put the entry in the table with transaction SWEHR3 it is not picked up. I only put a breakpoint in the function module to see if it comes that far. But tests are negative. Does anyone has experience with this which object and infotype to use in the table?
Any help is welcome!
Thx Richard

Hello thanks for the replies,
I have created an event in the SWO1 for the business object because this object does not have an event to handle this. Only the event COMPLETEDAPPRAISAL exists. Therefore it is not displayed in the SWEL automatically. I have to force this. My question how.....
I tried to add the event in SWEHR3 for the deletion of object type BA but this does not trigger the workflow. My question now is does anyone have an idea how to trigger the event.
Off course I understand that after the event is raised you can model a parallel branch but this is not my problem. Getting the deletion event raised is my problem.

Richard

Payroll area locked.How to Stop the workflow during this period ?

Dear experts,
In the travel workflows, after all the approvals, there is a standard task(Custom) with a custom method(BUS2089 Enhanced).
This method updates the infotype 2002 (Attendances). This works fine for the whole month except during the payroll run which will be for 3-4 days after 20th of every month.
We have maintained the exception for this when the control record is in the status '1' or '4', by passing a temporary error to the workflow.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t569v WHERE abkrs = 'Z0'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0 AND ( t569v-state EQ '1' OR
t569v-state EQ '4' ).
return-message_v1 = 'Employee Master data locked for Payroll'.
exit_return 1001 return-message_v1 return-message_v2
return-message_v3 return-message_v4.
As i understand the workflows can be restarted after solving the temporary errors.But this Temp error will only be solved after the payroll record is becomes 'Exit Payroll'.
The system attempts for 3 times in the period of 30 minutes and then the tempoarry error becomes a permanent error and this way the workflows goes into a permanent error which cannot be restarted even after the payroll is exit.Due to this may workflows are unable to update the Infotyp 2002 however their trips are approved at all levels.
This counter of 3 times and 30 minutes, I belive the system is taking from the error monitoring program (RSWWERRE / SWWERRE) in SWU3.
I am thinking of putting the workflow into 'Wait' state till the period when the Payroll is locked. This way , we can avoid the workflow even from going into temporary error.
Can anyone help in this regard ? Do we need to add a WAIT step in the WF Definition or control in the method code itself ?
Does WAIT UNTIL (ABAP Keyword) works for 3-4 days of payroll run if we implement in the method code itself?

Hi Sameer,
But , Can you pls put some more information on why we need to avoid WAIT UNTIL in Tthe ABAP ?
Wait Steps are only used where you have 1 event which the workflow would expect ...moreover this would require more effort in terms of implementation...( you will have to create an event manually after your payroll is open).
I would suggest create an virtual attrubute of the BO which will populate a whetherr the Payroll is locked or unlocked... then use this attribute as a start condition in the conditions tab of your step. this would stop the workflow until the payrol is open...

How to Stop workflow which is in Progress status.

Hi ,
I have started a workflow while testing , now it has reached to the inbox of different agents.
could you please suggest how to stop the workflow and rollback everything affected because of it .
best regards
abhijeet chitale

You could use the transaction SWIA to manually complete workitems. If you use the the workitem ID of the workflow instance you set the status of the workflow to logically deleted.
Other option is to use the object FLOWITEM with method statuschange to change the status to completed. Also go in there with the ID of your workflow instance.
However, my question is why you want to do this? If you're testing you could also just execute the workitem in the inboxes. Undo work which is done has to be executed manually.
Kind regards,

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

Workflow infinite loop how to Stop?

hi,
My workflow is having a loop it runs infinite bcos the condition is not proper. Inside the loop i have a send mail step.. How to stop the Running workflow???
Regards
Roops

Roop,
It seems that the loop condition is a workflow step and not something in the method code.
For active instances of this workflow you will have to manually intervene. There can be 2 options -
1. Open the workflow log and change the container values such that it comes out of the condition
2. Logically delete the workflow.
Hope this helps

How to stop email notification on PO revision - PO approval workflow

This is part of the seeded POAPPRV Workflow. When a new PO is created, a notification is created (that requires acceptance). The PO is then revised before a response to the original notification has taken place, which deploys a new notification and closes the original one. When the original notification is closed with no response having been provided, the POAPPRV Workflow states:
"You earlier received the notification shown below. That notification is now closed, and no longer requires your response. You may simply delete it along with this message."
Can anyone tell me how to stop sending this second notification when notification is cancelled ?
Thanks,
Sunitha

When a notification is sent to a user and the user has a notification preference to receive e-mail notifications then the notifications will be sent via e-mail and they will also appear in the user's worklist.
If the user responds to the notification from the worklist (let's say approves) the notification will be responded to and will be removed from the worklist. Now, there is nothing that Workflow can do about the e-mail notification in the e-mail client (yahoo, ms outlook, gmail, etc). So if the user attempts to approve from there, the Workflow Inbound Mailer will realize the incoming e-mail corresponds to a notification that was responded to already. So it has to let the user know that his e-mail will not be processed. So the user will need to consider what he's done before sending an e-mail response.

Alejandro

How to stop workitem complete or how to keep work item in inbox based on conditions even if it completed

Hi,
my requirement is to call webdyn pro screen from workflow..
i am calling webdynpro screen by using FM :CALL_BROWSER from workflow.
when webdyn pro screen is called user will enter some values . if user closed webdyn pro screen with out entering any values we need show this workitem in his inbox. so that user can again open it and enter values in the webdyn pro screen.
Please help how to stop work item complete based on conditions.
Thanks,
phani

Hi,
As per my understanding, this is not a proper approach toy call web dynpro using FM CALL_BROWSER. is the web dynpro screen being called when user clicks on the work item from portal UWL OR from SAP SBWP ?
if you are calling web dynpro screen from portal UWL when user clicks on work item link, better you achieve it using SWFVISU tcode. in SWFVISU tcode you can maintain which web dynpro. application to call when particualr work item task come in user's inbox. in your web dynpro code, then you can write your buisiness logic when user clicks for example SUBMIT/SAVE button. on action submit/save button you can use FM SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE to complete the worktiem once the user clicks on final submit/save button. in this way the workitem will get removed from user inbox only upon clicking on submit/save button.
You can refer below link for web dynpro for workitem:

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 stop notification email of Completion: Purchase Order

How to stop process flow?

Hi there.
I have oracle 9i + OWB 10.1..2.
During last changes on the server (AIX) there was a problem with starting JServer.
I didn't seem to be problem until I wanted to user Workflow Monitor. Obviously it didn't work.
My question is: how to stop a process flow that has errors?
I found scripts that should do it (described in Workflow
16. Administration Scripts in Oracle Workflow Guide.pdf) but I must have done something wrong cause it didn't work. Whats more I got lots of errors (failed flows deployment and execution)
Do you know how do use these scripts?

When i deleted my photos from my iPhoto it deleted them from Facebook also. Any ideas how to stop it happening again? Lost 40k photos

Can anyone tell me how to stop iphoto deleting pics from my facebook account when i delete them from iphoto on my mac? Have just lost 40k pics as i thought they were safe on facebook!

Apple's Icloud with Yosemite and IOS8 on devices is suppose to do just that - synchronize between devices so when you get home the pictures you took with our devices will magically be on you primary computer.
You may also want to look into other "clouds" available -- including clouds you can set up yourself (WD offers make your own cloud - haven't looked into it as don't need it)
Thanks for the constructive feedback! iCloud sync generally works well, though I believe it's time-limited-- You'll have to import them to your library from the iCloud sync to make it "permanent" within a few months. I'm also using CloudStation on my Synology NAS, and I use Dropbox on all my computers although not for photos, because I'm still using their free account. Keeping iPhoto libraries up to date is not generally an issue. Though I admit 2 of my 3 computers are on Yosemite and I am using iOS 8, I haven't specifically explored the differences in iCloud behavior on the new versions.
The deleting comment is more around temporarily storing them in one iPhoto library, uploading to Facebook, then deleting from iPhoto without deleting from FB -- it's not so much about how to transfer the photos around. It's pretty easy to shoot 15 or 20GB of photos in a day with a modern camera, and you might find yourself without an internet connection, or at the very least, too spotty to copy that much data overnight.
For example, on a recent trip, my workflow was to load photos from my RX-100 via SD card into my MacBook Air which only has 128GB of storage.
So I'd copy all photos to iPhoto, flag favorites, edit, add to FB album in iPhoto, let that upload, then export to disk, let that sync to my CloudStation folder back on my NAS at home in the US, then finally delete all un-flagged photos in iPhoto (the "rejects"). By the end of the trip, even the 15GB of all of the flagged, edited photos took up too much space (in addition to all of the originals I was storing on disk), so I deleted the Facebook sync so I that was able to delete them from iPhoto.
Of course, I kept all my originals, but those were in 3 places: SD card, CloudStation folder on my Air, and on my NAS back at home (plus any devices that were powered on and syncing to CloudStation).
This worked great in Iceland where I had 50up/50down internet, but not so great at an agriturismo in Italy where I was getting something like 50% packet loss on their point-to-point wifi internet connection!
When I get home, every single original picture goes onto my master iPhoto library on the Mac Pro at home, but I treat the libraries on my laptops as transient places for editing and uploading, then deleting. This is not just a multiple-computer problem, though -- I am sure many users just wish to upload then delete, and never keep their originals.

Reg: How to deactive seeded workflow process(HZ User Creation API worflow)

Dear Friends,
I do have a question for deactivate the seeded worflow process. Which means the current process i am not going to use anywhere. I needed to create the new process for Seeded worflow why because this is the worflow having some standard Procedure. Those procedure only will meet my requirement. In such case i wanted to create new processes in that going to call seeded procedure.
Could you please help me out how to deacivate the seeded processes from Oracle Standard workflow ( Name of the workflow is HZ USER CREATION API Workflow) Now current they are created for Customer creation processes. I didn't find currently where they are calling. My requirement is need to Create the new process for User-Id creation.
I hope everybody will understand my requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Velu.

Hi,
IIRC (and I haven't got a Workflow system handy to check), the Workflow is launched by a business event - if you disable the seeded business event, then that will stop the workflow launching.
