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

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 item category group for pricing?

Hi,
how can I use the item category group to carry out pricing?
I want to determine a condition type for item category group DIEN only and no other.
Thanks for help!
Florian

Hi Florian Preuss,
You should follow the next steps:
1. Check if the item category group field exist in the pricing catalog to choose it as a field in a table condition, if it doesn't exist (I don't believe that), you should contact to a technical person (ABAP) to add it to the structure KOMPAZ.
2. Create a condition table with this field (item category group) and others that you need to determine the condition.
3. Create an access sequence with this condition table.
4. Create a condition type and assign it the access sequence.
5. Add the condition to pricing procedure.
6.. Enjoy it.
Thanks in advance,
Mariano.

How to use Stock Category Group for two different configuration.

Hi all,
I want to use the stock category group to do this scenario:
I have two process using the same location, the process A wants to consider Stock cat. Grp. 'ZSW' (SAPAPO/LOC3) so it will consider Stock using CC, CF and CE. The process B wants to consider Stock Cat. Grp. 'ZST' to consider only CC.
My doubt:
How can I do that setup to make different things according the process? I tried to do something in Planning Area (SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN) but doesnu2019t work.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
-Ralph Veiga

Hi Ralph Veiga,
Indeed the stock category group is define at location level...
I think your answer involves macros more than PA settings.
First I will suggest to split the stock key figure into 2: one for CC, one for the other.
For the CC, use the standard (cetegory group with CC only on the location master)
Now you need to populate the second key figure with CF and CE.
You should be able to built a macro using function PHYSICAL_STOCK() to get what you want.
For sure yuo first need a way to check if you want or not the CF and CE. Here implement your own logic for exemple base on your product characteristics with either MAT(), MAT_C(), MAT_EXTRA(), MATLOC_C()...
Else you can use a Z function in the macro to collect this data, but it involves ABAP coding.
PS: you don't actually need to split the key figure into to, but I think it helps with visibility...

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

How to use a pwa group in CREATE A TASK PROCESS in SPD 2013 for project server workflow approval process

I am working on a Project Server 2013 workflow. I am creating this using Sharepoint Designer 2013. In this workflow I am using approval process at one stage. I have created a security group SalesManagers in PWA. I want to use this group for workflow approval
process. I want all users of this group get approval tasks.
For this I used START A TASK PROCESS activity in the SP Designer. I clicked on
this user and created task process. But here I could not find SalesManager group which I created in PWA. I was only able to find the users. I can also see
Administrators for PWA . But couldnot find SalesManager or any other security group created in pwa.
Can anyone suggest how I can get the security group created in pwa.

NBDevelopment,
I believe SPD only recognizes the SharePoint Groups and not the project server security groups.
The Administrators for PWA, and few other groups like Project Managers for PWA etc., are synced SharePoint Groups with the security groups, which is why they show up in SPD.
You could create a SharePoint Group for the Sales Managers group and use that in SPD.

How to use two tasks in Workflow

Hi Everybody !
Can Any one tell me, How to use two tasks in one activity step type of Workflow CRM?
My requirement is... I have to execute two tasks in single activity step in Workflow. Is it possible.if it is possible tell me the flow Please.
Thanks in advance.
Raghava Vakada.

You can define one as a "Before" or "After" method if that is usable for you. (defined in tab Methods for Activity steps)
Otherwise there is also the step flag "Advance with dialog" (tab Details on Activity steps, but the tab it is found on depends on your version) which allows one user to seamlessly execute two consecutive tasks.
So depending on your real need there may be several options available. If all that is needed is that the same user can execute the two tasks then Advance with Dialog is perhaps the best choice. If the user then cancels execution of the second activity the work item is available for execution. If you define an After method and the user cancels execution the work item has still been completed since its (main) method has been completed.

How can i use Regional structure grouping for responsible determination?

Hi,
We are working on a projet that requires to slip the cities of a geographical area into zones. each zone is made of full or partial streets (its a specific zone repartition).
We are trying to use Regional structure grouping to name each zone and to be able to determine which agent is responsible for which client (depending in which zone he or she lives). We would like the agent determation to trigger in an opportunity or a Lead.
SAP help information says that using Regional structure grouping is helpful for responsible determination but i can't figure out how. I couldn't manage to assign an organisational data (ppoma_crm) to a Regional structure group and i could not get a rule (TR CODE PFAC) to work while using partner number and the field ADRC-REGIOGROUP.
We plan to inject in SAP the listing of full addresses of an area (streets, street number, zip code, cities) so that they will be available from a matchcode in BP transaction. the "zone" layout is sensitive to street numbers because a street can start in a zone and end in the next zone. This layout is specific to our customer so we have to name it, zone by zone. That's why we thought using Regional structure grouping.
Maybe i made it wrong or maybe the Regional structure grouping has nothing to do with what we want.
Does any body knows where i could find some information about how to use Regional structure grouping in details?
Many Thanks
Laurent

Hi Laurent,
I'm facing the same issue... Were you able to figure out a solution for this?

How To use the Task Service to update a task's outCome

Hello EveryBody,
I started with SOA suite 11g two months ago. I am trying all the possibilities to convaince my bosses of this technology.
My problem is how to use the task service to update an outcome. I have already succeeded to create a client of the task query service.
Thank you

You can use Task Service API's to update any properties of a task:
In your case, to update the outcome of the task, you can use the following API:
Task updateTaskOutcome(IWorkflowContext context,
java.lang.String taskId,
java.lang.String outcome)
throws StaleObjectException,
WorkflowException

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 the Validate step for Approve step

Hi Experts,
I have modeled a workflow with the steps start,process, validate, approve, process and stop.
Process is set to owner and approve is set to some other user user1.
My requirement is as follows :
1) Approve the records by approver and then it should send it to the next step for further processing
1.1) if the approver did not approve the record it should send a error message until the record is approved. So it should not send it to the next step when record is not approved
I am using a field called item status for approving and disapproving the records. My validation is based on this field only... Validation working fine when i tested it manually.
But my issue is when am using this validate step in workflow design validation is getting triggered for all the users.as per my requirement only approver should get the error message.But in my scenario owner is getting the error message and approver is not getting any message.
How can i use the validate step only for particular step say approve in workflow.
Can anyone please help me out how should use validate step only for approve step...
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.
Edited by: sireesha esukapalli on Jun 17, 2008 2:48 PM

Hi ,
I have set the validation property to "None".
My design is as follows :
start->process->validate->approve->stop.
Owner is assigned to process step and approver is assigned to approve step.
Now my problem is owner is also getting this error message along with the approver. AS per the design both process, approve users are getting the error message.
As per my requirement only approver should get this prompt but not the owner.
How can i restrict only for specifc user to get this message.
Can anybody please advice how can restrict the owner to not get this error message...
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.

Most likely the user km_admin still has system principal roles assigned, even though you removed the Super Admin role, you should check that this user doesn't have any other admin roles, otherwise it will be considered a System Principal user and will therefore still have access to all content. For more information see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/19/56f28fbd4e11d5993b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
Try creating a new user with just read access to the content and you should see that it will not be able to make any changes etc.

Lorcan.

Thanks in Advanced,
Ahmed,

To add to Scott's post. Option 60 would be useful if you needed to put certain types of AP on specific controllers. Otherwise, no real need to use it for the most part.
Though, I do recall an issue a few years ago that some windows machines had issues getting DHCP if option 43 is being returned.
Now, on an IOS switch, you can only configure one option 60 per DHCP scope
