How to use LOOP(Until) step in a Workflow

Hi,
How to use LOOP(Until) step in a Workflow?
What are the steps involved in using the step LOOP(Until).

Hmmm... using it is just like using a LOOP UNTIL statement in any programming language. You get at least one loop iteration, as opposed to a WHILE loop which may give you zero iterations.
You simply insert a node of this type in the workflow, and magically there will be a loop inside which you can insert the steps you want to execute in the loop, and by double-clicking at the end node of the loop you can enter the condition for exiting.
What exactly is it you are having trouble understanding about the use of it?

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.

How to use Web Serivce for not jsr 172 phone

Hi:
Is anyone know, how to use web service for phones that only have standard J2ME package installed (without jsr 172 web service packagenstalled)?
thank you

Hi,
I think you need to write the code for this from scratch (built on top of existing HTTP functionality). There may be open-source J2ME code you could use. I've never tried this so I'm afraid I don't know any more. But maybe that is what you were asking... i.e. does anyone have code that does this already...

How to use web service consumer as a source to connect to Salesforce?

I see a lot of articles and mapping xmls on how to use web service consumer but as a newbie I am not able to view the object schema from my salesforce enterprise WSDL after importing it in Informatica designer as a source. My enterprise wsdl has operations like create, retrieve, upsert, delete etc so if I want to read data from account then could someone guide me on how to use the web service consumer to view the fields after importing the wsdl. After importing the wsdl and selecting the operation say create, the columns (ports) displayed shows different groups but it doesn't list the object fields? what am I missing here? And what is the operation to read data from Salesforce is it "retrieve" from the entripse wsdl? As a newbie on this, I appreciate any inputs on this topic.

How to Use Web Printing with Microsoft Excel

Hello,
In the recent How to paper on Use Web Printing with Microsoft Excel, describes few ABAP classes and methods. Can those classes be modified to access much more Microsoft excel objects , such as Macro ? Does any body has tried in those lines ? Any suggestions is eagerly awaited.
regs
D Bret

Hi BW people,
Since we want to modify our reports for printing (and the How-To about enhancement of web printing does not really answer to our requirements) it seems that the Excel alternative is just what we were looking for.
Unfortunately I have been working with these classes for 6 hours now to get a very simple Excel file, but without success. I did fix the bug like Thomas Kauffman told on the forum, changed the dataprovider and prefixes and I followed every single step of the How-To document(also the check of folder options to open/save the .xls file),... The only thing that happens: the URL has changed (bookmark) and the page is reloaded again.
So no Excel file, neither a dialogue box. I also walked -a very long time- through the code (in debugging mode) starting from ZCL_RSR_XLS_HELP_WINDOW_PRINT->PROCESS_CMD but I can't find anything!
Is there anybody with the same problem and -better- with a possible solution to it?
Thank you very much in advance!

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

"You can also" link in UWL work item when using user decision step in workflow

Hi,
Just want to check if anybody has tried adding links to this section in the UWL when using user decision step? I need to pass some custom links which will be calling some webdynpro applications and backend transactions. I have read somewhere that Ineed to modify the XML file but don' t know how the next steps once I have defined (i.e. how to handle those links).
Thanks in advance.
Rammel

Hi Rammel
I hope you are keeping well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
Based upon your scenario you mentioned that:
You want to add links to the "You Can Also" section in the UWL with user decision steps
In an effort to pass custom links (calling web dynpro) applications.
You wish to know how to modify the XML
Ok now based upon the scenario there are two key points regarding XML files and efforts to change them.
Remember that XML in terms of the UWL follow the notion of precedence. Now that means that once you make a change to an XML file you need to re-upload it to realize changes. To re-upload an XML file and realized changes you need to do so with a "High" or "Very High" priority and also ensure that the UWL Cache has been cleared of the UWL Service restarted so changes can be realized.
The second key point is to ensure that you backup all current XML files before making any changes so you can easily revert those changes if required.
Now reverting back to your query, the XML files and the "You Can Also" section. Kindly see the documentation outlined below as here you are going to make changes to the I-View configuration:
Configuring the UWL

How to use web service in ECC 6.0

Hi.
I found some WSDL in "SDN ES Workplace".
Anybody know how to use this WSDL ?
For example, I want to use 'Query Sales Order' web service and I found WSDL in "SDN ES Workplace".
What's next step to use this web service ?
Regards, Arnold.

Hi Austin,
Link provided for mySAP ERP Enterprise Service Package ECC-SE 600, does not work. My company is SAP customer and I am SDN member.
Do I need some special login or membership to download ES packages?
I also understand that I can access the Enterprise Service from the ES Workplace (implementation) and for that I have to Apply For an Account. I applied for an account at this link https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/esareg .
After applying for an Account should be getting an email with user Id/password OR I can use the my Service Market Place ID?
Tried entering the my service market place Id, does not work.

How to use the activation library on SAP J2EE Engine

Hi my friends:
This post is referent to a note and their solution, but the solution is not clearly:
Symptom:
One wants to use the activation library provided together with the j2ee engine from an own library.
Reason and Prerequisites:
One wants to use the activation library from an own library but a ClassNotFound Exception or a NoClassDefFoundError keeps showing up.
Solution:
For J2EE Engine 6.30/6.40:
To avoid the above mentioned exceptions one has to specify circular references between the activation library and the specific resource. When the engine's classloading system sees such references it creates a common loader for these resources and avoids the issue.
Some one knows how to do circular references in my program????,
i can use web applications or web dynpro with SAP Developer Studio Kit.

I want to know if the mail will be sent to the SAP email ID (i.e) in SBWP or will be it be sent to the Outlook email ID.
We want to send it to the Outlook email ID of the User. Can you guide us as to how we can do the same.
In some cases, we want to send the notification to both the employee and his manager. Can this be managed through the SEND EMAIL step in the workflow or do we have to explicitly create a method and use a std FM that sends the email to the concerned.
Request your help on the same.
Cheers,
Belinda Clarke

>We are getting the pernr of the employee. We can retrieve his email address for the same. So do we need to pass this to a workflow container and then use that workflow container value in the space provided for the email address.
Yes. It is really up to you how you will develop everything. I personally like to get all the data into the workflow container, because it might be handy later in the life. Let's say that you go on with your custom email sending step and add there the code the get the data that you need in the email. It will work perfectly. But let's say that after six months the HR administrators want to get emails with a bit different content from this same workflow. Now you will need do another custom step. But if you had already all the data in the container you can simply add another standard email step and formulate the text with the editor and add the variables from the workflow container. Easy and simple.
So, my advice is that for example add just add some background step to get all the possible data regarding the employees & leave request & managers or whatever. Now you have everything in the container and you can use them in the email(s) - and you can use them in other places too - for example in the work item texts, etc.
