How to trace a workflow?

Hi experts, If I want to know which workflow is being executed when executing a transaction, how do I trace it down? I am new at this area and need to modify some workflow steps. First I need to know which workflows are being executed.
Thank you,

Thanks frogger.I tried this option..giving some import xml errors.I will keep update after troubleshoot.
Meanwhile I found another way to trace all workflows log activities.
Open System Configuration object in the debug
modified the below and exported.All workflow logs are writing to given file name workflow.log
<Attribute name='workflow'>

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.

Dataloss in network... How to trace it..?

Hi,
Though this question is related to SAP XI and SMICM trace, I feel this question can also be answered by people in WebAs General, so i am posting this in this forum.
In my current scenario where SAP XI system pushes data to another system(ABC system) using HTTPS connection. I have set up an RFC destination of Type G to connect to the external system.
When i do a Test connection, i see in SMICM log file, i found that connection established, request message written into ABC system.When response is being written i could find BINDUMP of content denied in the SMICM log file. What does that exactly mean..?
Also When i contacted the other party--ABC, they have told that they could not see any messages in their system.
XI shows successfully processed and ABC system did not receive the message... So where did the data go?? I have no clue :-(( Need your inputs in this regard. How to trace if the message has been successfully posted by XI. Below is the SMICM log file.

How to trace an error

Dear all,
How to trace a purticular error ?
from metalink
Diagnose the issue by running the following trace
alter system set events '1775 trace name ERRORSTACK level 3';
Redo the import and reproduce the error. The trace file should be in the
USER_DUMP_DEST directory.
alter system set events '1775 trace name errorstack off';
Trace file will show something like the following:
ksedmp: internal or fatal error
ORA-01775: looping chain of synonyms
Current SQL statement for this session:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SYS_IMPORT_TABLE_01
I am getting the same ora 01775 error. But when I am tracing, I am not getting any result in my udump. Is there any other setting do I have to make to get the trace file?
Thanks

Your question can not be answered.
Not only you don't include a version (this seems to be too difficult for most posters here), but you also include ambiguous sentences like 'When I am tracing'.
This results in the question 'did you issue the alter system command and was it successful?'
As far as I am aware the syntax is
alter system set events='<errornum> trace name errorstack level 3';
There are no other 'settings'
The only other solution is to set up an afterserver error trigger.
Works like a charm, 8i onwards.
You uncover way too many things you don't even want to know!

How to trace purchase order number with respect to Purchase requestion numb

Can u please help me how to Trace purchase order number with respect to purchase Requetuion number. Is there any standard report available in R/3

Hi Vamsi,
Thats what!!!
Goto SE16 - EBAN - Give PR number in the iput screen.
In the output screen you will have to do field selection from Menu - Settings - formatlist - choose fields.
There you choose Purchase Order.
So the output will display for you POs for the PR that you entered.

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 trace a USER in oracle?

Hi Sir,
I have a rquirement that I need to Trace a session created through the Application. The only data I have is that I know the application will connect to a Database schema and nothing else. How is it possilbe that I can create a trace file for it.
Also is it possilble, that i can trace complete user. how to find all the trace as it create number of process inturn number of trace, how do I find it and combine. I read the documentation but can't understand it clearly?
Any help will be great.

Aman, thanks for replying. This is the problem, they have not implemented dbms_application_info.
That is the reason I want to know how to trace user(all session of a schema) and combine all the session generated trace(something like trcsess) and then generate tkprof. I am on Oracle 10g.Well, first off, users connect to databases, they don't connect to schemas. And as a follow on, users have sessions, schemas don't.
That said, you might investigate a logon trigger that initiates a 1046 trace. Something like this:
-- create a logon trigger for capturing extended trace data
-- NOTE: must be run as SYS
-- NOTE: Be sure to change both occurances of the target username
-- ('user = xxx' and 'TRACEFILE_IDENTIFIER=') to the
-- correct value for the session you want to trace.
create or replace trigger logon_trigger
after logon on database
begin
if (user = 'SCOTT' ) then
execute immediate 'ALTER SESSION SET TRACEFILE_IDENTIFIER=''SCOTT_APP''';
execute immediate 'alter session set timed_statistics=true';
execute immediate 'ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS ''10046 TRACE NAME CONTEXT FOREVER, LEVEL 12''';
end if;
exception
when others then
null;
end;
end;
Of course, you can play around with the 'if' condition, and delete or disable the trigger when it is no longer needed. The resulting trace file can be run through tkprof.

How to troubleshoot approval workflow of a rejected purchase order

Hi,
We are working in oracle applications 11i.
I have a purchase order with status rejected that has hanged up in the system. The user rejected PO and the document has not been transferred to the PO buyer. From the application forms -> Forward documents window, I can see that neither the user who rejected or the buyer has the document.
From System Administrator responsibility I can see that the workflow administrator can modify a PO that is only IN PROCESS,
what shall I do?

How to run Oracle workflow in windows 7 os

Hi,
Am new to oracle workflow.
I have installed oracle workflow successfully in my laptop.
After installation I dont see any shortcut's in my desktop.
Can any one sugess me how to run oracle workflow.
Steps to begin from basic level.
Thanks
Balaji

You mean to say you installed Workflow Builder on your laptop? See that Oracle Workflow has a Client Side (WF Builder), a backend Server side and middle application side.
Assuming you successfully installed the client side then you must have a group of programs called Oracle OUIHome and there one called Application Development. There you should be able to find Workflow builder.
Useful notes for WF Builder:

How to trace the changes made by other user in portal

Hi All,
Actually i have a requirement like, some body has done some changes in Development server how to trace those chnages in portals or Visual Admin (who is the user and what are all the objects that got changed) .
Actually our development system , Quality and Production systems are working fine till yesterday but when we logon to the dev, qua, prd systems today there are some changes and some of the things are not working client was asking us whether we have done some canges if not who has done the changes.
Is there any place where all these changes can be recorded (likes who is the user and changes ....) or traced like log files or any thing else
Can any one help me out in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramesh.

Hi ,
As you told some changes identified. so navigate to corresponnding portal obejcts and find modified and last changed by similar properties in the property editor object.
portal activity reports gives how many users visted specific pcd object but not who visited. You can use pcd filter to compare properties.

How to trace the save menu in cs3 using javascript?

i can able to add menu items using the following syntex
app.scriptMenuActions.add("Script 1");
but i dont know how to trace the save menu, i want to do certain action while the user try to save their active document.
is it possible in script?
thanks
subha

Hi subha,
re: "i dont know where to get that BeforePrint.jsx, but by using scripting guide i able to trace the menu events."
All of the scripts shown in fragmentary form in the Scripting Guide are included in the associated scripts archive on the InDesign Scripting home page.
The BeforePrint.jsx script shows how to cancel the display of the Print dialog box; I assume that the same techniques will work for the Save dialog box. No time to check right now.
