How to use a servlet in a Workflow process step.

Hi
I need am upgrading existing code from cq 5.4 to CQ 5.5.
The exsiting code uses a servlet with an injected @MailService reference to send emails. It is currently used as a process step service.
However, with CQ 5.5 I see that I need to implement the WorkFlowProcess interface, to see this class listed as in the Process step drop down list.
The issue I have is if I keep the class as a Servlet extension , it does not show up in the drop down list of the process step.
Is there a way to update the code to list this servlet as a process step?
Or is there a way to inject the MailService reference into a class which only implements the "WorkflowProcess" interface and is not a servlet ?
advice appreciated.
thanks
Ven

The implementation of WorkflowProcess is to be deployed as an OSGi service, so you can @Reference the MailService in that class.

Use of Execution Type in Workflow process step.

Hi Kiran,
The Execution Type is relevant for the process step of the workflow.
MDM workflow steps can be assigned either to one or more users or to one or more roles, as follows:
u2022 Users. User-based assignments allow you to explicitly specify which user or users should be responsible for performing the step.
u2022 Roles. Role-based assignments allow you to specify roles rather than users, with the actual users determined by MDM at runtime.
The Execution Type defines the relation between these assigned users/ roles if there are more than one:
1. All Concurrent- All assignees must perform the step. Each assignee can do so at the same time.
2. All Sequential Random- All assignees must perform the step. Each assignee can do so one at a time in any order.
3. All Sequential Ordered- All assignees must perform the step. Each assignee can do so one at a time in the order listed in the step.
1. Any Single- Any single assignee can perform the step. The step can be pushed to or pulled by any assignee.
You can also find this documented in the Data Manager Reference Guide under MDM Workflows-> Execution Type (page 292)

Hedda Cohen.

Hi
Workflow automates the steps and activities in a business process according to predefined procedures and rules.
Workflow presents information and documents to the appropriate knowledge worker or agent (another entity such as a program) to make a decision or perform an activity.
Workflow tracks each and every step in the process flow and maintains an ongoing status.
Workflow also collects and reports all of the metrics associated with the execution and completion of the process.

How to use resource servlet ?

Hi all,
Does any body know know how to use resource servlet to share resources (xsd, wsdl etc) in OSB ? Kindly provid eme witht the steps
Thank you.

Hi Eric,
We can share the resource in the following way, but unfortunately OEPE doesnt accept http urls in schemaLocation arrtibute
How can I get the WSDL/Policy/MFL/Schema/Proxy via HTTP?
You can retrieve many of the resource types directly from the OSB server by using HTTP instead
of needing to use the service bus console. The general pattern for the URL is as follows:
http://[hostname]:[port]/sbresource?[Resource Type]/[Project Name]/[Resource Name]
CHAPTER 18 ■ HOW DO I . . . ? 477
The [Resource Type] section of the URL may be any one of the following values:
• BIZ
• MFL
• POLICY
• PROXY
• SCHEMA
• WSDL
The URL must be UTF-8 encoded. If the resource is stored in a directory, then the directory
structure needs to be declared explicitly in the URL also.
For example, in the Hello World project in Chapter 4 of this book, we defined aWSDL resource
in the WSDL folder of the project. The name of that WSDL resource is set to HelloWorld. To retrieve
this WSDL, you would use the following URL:
http://localhost:7001/sbresource?WSDL/Hello+World/WSDL/HelloWorld

How to use the 'Decision between multiple alternatives' Process variant

Hi ,
Can anyone tell me how to use the 'Decision between multiple alternatives' Process variant in BI 7 Process chains ?
The requuirement is that I have a DSO eg DSO 1 from which i have to load DSO 2 and DSO 3 . Now if the number of Records in DSO 1 are < 100 i will load DSO 2 from DSO 1 else i will load DSO 3 from DSO 1 .
So in the PC i have used a 'ABAP Program' variant (which counts the number of rows in DSO 1) after loading DSO 1 and after this 'ABAP Program' Variant , i have used the 'Decision between multiple alternatives' Process variant. Problem is it is giving me only some some system fields in the formula , like sy-datum or sy-timlo , which are of no use here .
It would be great if i can receive some help here .
--Devraj

in RSPC you create a ABAP processing type "ending with specific values".
We use true or false for things as you specify.
your abap program should return a true or a false to indicate which of the situations is applicable.
Is this helpful?

How to use a servlet adapter ?

Hi all,
I try to use the servlet adapter, but documentation is not very usefull on this point (like on many other point).
The first step in documentation is : Create a directory in the classpath oracle.panama.adapter.servlet for the .class
file. The MasterService creation should go smoothly (if you pray I suppose) if you also have the .class file in a similar directory where you
are running the Service Designer.
Questions :
- I dont understand ' create a directory in the classpath oracle.panama.adapter.servlet'.
What does it mean ?
- How can I make the same thing on the client which running the Service Designer ?
All input are welcome.
rgds,

Create your Servlet under the directory
%ORACLE_HOME%\panama\server\classes\oracle\panama\adapter\servlet.
The servlet should have the package declaration
package oracle.panama.adapter.servlet;
Copt the class file to the above mentioned directory.
Then create a service using this class.
Give the entire class name for the service
eg
package oracle.panama.adapter.servlet.Test
where test is the servlet class name.

How to use Start Task Group for Workflow Interface

Hi all,
anyone who can tell me how to use the Interface IFWFTSKGRP (Start Task Group for Workflow Interface)?
As far as I understood the documentation it can be used to restrict the selection of workflows that can be started in the Generic Object Services. But the question is how to implement it.
Best regards,
Carsten
Edited by: Carsten Drewes on Jun 10, 2009 10:30 AM

Hi, Carsten,
(probably it's a bit too late to post an answer after 3 years , but I'll post it in case someone else needs it)
You should implement GetTaskGroup method.
The code should return id of the task group (otype TG, mantained in PFTC) that holds the list of workflow definitions.
Here is a sample implementation. It's taken from FORMABSENC business object. It belongs to SAP demo workflow "Notification of Absence". I suppose it should be present in most systems and you can see it in action.
begin_method gettaskgroup changing container.
DATA: taskgroup LIKE rhobjects-object.
*- set task group
taskgroup = 'TG70000023'.
*- set result
swc_set_element container result taskgroup.
end_method.

How to use interface return value in workflow task

Hi all,
My team developed a proxy(interface) to fetch a field from web application(Non SAP) through PI. i tested that interface in SAP, its working fine. Interface is having one input, one output.
Input - from SAP(employee number)
Output - from webapplication (manager number).
In my workflow, i have to use that manager number in decission task. For that i created a task, but in that task, iam unable to use the class and method name which is mentioned above. its giving an error "Interface implementation IF_WORKFLOW does not exist".
Please guide me, how to use that interface output in my workflow.
Regards
Arani Bhaskar

"Interface implementation IF_WORKFLOW does not exist".
This error is triggered because the class which you are using in the task does not have included and implemented the interface IF_WORKFLOW , if at all you want to use any class methods in the workflow, then that class must supprot the interface IF_WORKFLOW
what you can do is
1. Include the interface IF_WORKFLOW in the class that you are using to fetch the manager number,
2. Make the method as Static Method .
3. Just implement all the methods , I mean just double click each method of the interface, clcik on pretty printer and save it, to just implement all the methods.
3. Do the appropriate bindings .
And finally just execute the txn SWU_OBUF and click Shift+F1.
this will help you to retrive the manager number intot the workflow

How to use GPU acceleration in final rendering process in AE CS6 updated?

Hello guys!
Maybe my question is a frequent, but in fact I didn't get answer listing FAQs here.
So I have new NVIDIA Geforce card where CUDA supported. I enabled Ray-Traced 3d in "composition Settings" Advanced tab and also in fast preview settings. Everything OK and I can see no errors, but when I try to render one of video hive's projects, I see that CPU's load is 95-100% but GPU's is only 0-2%. What is the secret? How to use GPU for project rendering?

The GPU is used very little by After Effects.
See this page for details of what the GPU is used for in After Effects:

DIM Workflow - How can I return task status for workflow process

Hi all,
I'd like to build a DIM workflow process to run a unix shell script. Under the workflow, I've created a task object and assign the unix shell script into it.
Although the DIM workflow works fine to run the unix shell script in the normal case, however, it cannot return the error status in the task when my shell script is failed (such as exit 2 at the end of script).
May I know if there any setting in the workflow/task, in order to change the status on DIM workflow.
Many thanks,
hw

Own workflow process step (java) not listed in the generic Process step component

Based on the description Extending Workflow Funtionality I have used this sample to create a bundle with the CRXDE Development Environment. Almost just copying the code from the page (had to make some adjustments to correct program errors in this sample) an then build bundle. According to Note 2 this program should be seen in the list supplied by Process step Component when editing a workflow. But it is not there.
@Component
@Service
public class MyWorkflowProcess implements WorkflowProcess {
    @Property(value = "An example workflow process implementation.")
    static final String DESCRIPTION = Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION;
    @Property(value = "Adobe")
    static final String VENDOR = Constants.SERVICE_VENDOR;
    @Property(value = "My Sample Workflow Process")
    static final String LABEL="process.label";
What do I need to do else?
Thanks,
Ulrich

Ulrich,
CRXDE does not support the Java annotations which are listed in the documentations. When you want to leverage CRXDE (which is for development ... discouraged), you need to migrate to JavaDoc style annotations.
For documentation how you can setup a development workflow based on a Java IDE and maven please see [0].
kind regards,

but, how can i provide a transition comment, when completing a process step.
I see the complete method, but dont see where i can provide transition comment.

Environment CQ 5.5

Its workitem metadata which holds the comments info. Can you try this if it works
workitem.getWorkflowData().getMetaData(); which will return the dictionary object and set "comment" in this object.
