Human task actions using gmail

Hi Gurus,
  I need guidance to create a human task actionable workflow in gmail.
I could see in blogs for doing the same using James mail server and outlook combination. Could someone help me in doing the same using gmail.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Gnanaprakasam R

Hello,
what you need is an imap account with some folders configured. The email functionality of Human Workflow is based on the user messaging server. Please consult the documentation in order achieve your requirements. It should not depend on the email system.
34.2 Notifications from Human Workflow
62 Oracle User Messaging Service
Hope that helps

  • BPM human task actionable user notification email not working

    Hi ,
    I am triing to send actionable email notification to assignees through the notification tab of the human task. The email settings in the em console has done fine so that I am getting the notification email without any fail.
    But the problem over here is the actionable buttons / links (Like Approve or Reject ) are not there inside the email body.
    I have checked the make notification actionable check box in jdev human task as well as configured the actionable email address in the server em console.Still the email body is not having the action items.
    email body is here
    Task Notification PendingUser Notification requires your attention.
    Access this task in the Workspace Application
    <PendingUser Notification > above is the task title.
    Please suggest
    many many thanks
    Tuku

    Hi All,
    I got the solution for it. Now the assignee is able to get the actionable email.
    the mistake i did is during the human task notification tab configuration I have put separate email id in the recipient column of first row.You need to do is ,choose Assignees from the drop down value , check the check box make notification actionable, then set the proper email in the email attribute property of the assigned user (user creation time).
    Thanks

  • Unable to deploy BPM projects with human tasks from BPC

    I’m trying to edit and deploy a BPM process from Business Process Composer (web based tool). To do it, I followed the steps below:
    1.     I created I project in JDeveloper
    2.     I created the Human task from using the “Auto-generate task form” option
    3.     I converted it to a template
    4.     I published it to BPM MDS
    5.     On Business Process Composer I created I new project based on my published template
    6.     And I finally I deployed it with no errors.
    When I ran the BPM it creates I human task but I’m not able to access its form on Business Process Workspace.
    On Business Process Workspace I can see the task created by my BPM process, but when I click on it to access its form I get a 404 message (message below).
    Error 404--Not Found
    From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
    10.4.5 404 Not Found
    The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
    If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
    I think this error occur because my Task form project was not deployed. To fix it I undeployed all the applications and then I deployed the BPM application with all its tasks forms from JDeveloper. It worked fine (I can actually access the task form on Business Process Workspace), but now I’m not able to edit the BPM process on Business Process Composer anymore.
    Then I finally repeated the steps 3 to 6 on top of this post in order to make the BMP process editable on Business Process Workspace but this time I receive the error at the end of this post taken from server log.
    No matters if I publish the project on MDS BMP repository as a template project or as non template project. I always have the same problem.
    So, how can I use a BPM project that contains Human Tasks forms on Business Process Composer?
    I’m using:

    I came across the same issue, and now resolved it like this.
    Firstly, you shouldn't deploy QuoteProcessLab with other UILabs like ApproveDealUILab and so on. So, if you already did it, then go to Weblogic EM and undeploy it.
    Secondly, you should deploy each of UILab separately as standalone application. So, deploy EnterQuiteUILab, BUsinessPracticesUILab, and so on each. These will run independently behind and when your project created based on template in the Composer runs, it will link each of these on human task.
    Thirdly, publish you QuoteProcessLab. And follow the book about how to create a project based on template in the Composer.
    Just one thing you should be careful with is, when you do auto-generation for human task, it sometimes doesn't work fully, unfinished halfway through. So, make sure that the icon 'go to existing business form taskflow' in .task file takes you to the human taskflow.
    If it fails, do another auto-generation. Sometimes DataBindings.cpx can get corrupted by JDev, but let's not go too far for now.
    Mostly, it will work.

  • Human Task Java API

    Hi
    I have a requirement to create human tasks without using soa. I am trying to use the Human task Java API. Using this API I can do all the operations like updating the outcome, adding/updating comments and updating assignee list but not able to create initial task. I am using initiateTask operation which requires task definition id. I dont know how to set this. Can anybody guide me
    1. Can I create human tasks without using composite pure java api?
    2. If I am able to create initial task what will be the task definition id? I tried to enter a new row in soa infra meta data table which did not work.
    I really appreciate the help.
    Thanks

    Hi Sri
    I have few Processes deployed to my SOA Domain and that too under different Partitions. For ease of maintenance, in EM Console under soa_infra node instead of default partition we can have our own Partitions also to deploy specific workflow projects under those partitions. If you don't have this thats ok.
    I looked at Payload data for all the Tasks submitted by the first Initiator Task in EM Console, when we check the Flow Trace etc. Here is what I found for <taskDefinitionId> value for each of my different Processes. They do have some Pattern. So you had to use some sort of properties file to get these values so that if they are deployed to different partitions and with different versions, you do not have to modify your java code and recompile it. Just modify .properties file.
    Anyhow, looks like the format for <taskDefinitionId> is something like this:
    NameOfPartition + "/" + NameOfProcess + "!" + VersionNumber + "/" + NameOfInitiatorHumanTask
    Here are some examples from my domain for some of the Process.
    <taskDefinitionId>default/SalesQuoteProcess!1.0/EnterQuote</taskDefinitionId>
    <taskDefinitionId>Ravi1_Partition/CreditReviewRequestProcess!1.0/HumanTaskCreditRequestor1</taskDefinitionId>
    <taskDefinitionId>Jegga1_Partition/HolidayProcess!1.0/StartNewHolidayTask</taskDefinitionId>
    You already tried hardcoding it I guess and it worked. Now try generating them dynamically using simple String appenders and sort of properties file to make it more dynamic. How often do we really change partition name or human task name itself or name of process itself. They are pretty much fixed. Now comes only the Version number. This can change with your new deployment if you want to have different version. So just read all these from .properties file.
    Thanks

  • Axis1.4 in Human Task over Soasuite to Weblogic 9.2

    Hello,
    I am having a small issue with Axis.jar file, i have developed 3 webservices using workshop , this was made using Axis.jar version 1.4, after that i generate a Jar file and add it to my WEB-INF\Lib directory.
    Until here, no problem was found, but after deploying this to the weblogic 9.2 of my soaDomain server , i have an conflit with Axis.jar in my soasuite/owsm/lib/extlib.
    I dont understand wy my Human task APP is using that axis.jar istead of the one i add to my WEB-INF\lib app... the axis.jar in soasuite is 1.1 and my is using 1.4 version ...
    How can i specific say in my Human task to use the one inside my APP instead of getting the one in thes server ??
    any help would be really apreciated..
    Many thanks,
    Vitor

    Problem resolve, we need create a weblogic.xml file defining the libraries in App to be load as preferenced.

  • Expose a Human Task as a web service, is posible ?

    Hi everyone, is there a way to expose a human task as a web service using BPM Studio or other way ?

    Hi Carlos
    Human Task by itself do not have any significance or play any role. Its the Process or Sub Process where that Human Task is used is what is important. And you can Expose any BPM Process as a WebService. Infact by default it is already a WebService if you observer closely. We can generate a WebService client for any BPM Process.
    So I am not clear on what exactly you are asking by exposing a Human Task as Web Service which I guess is NOT possible. This Human Task .TASK file do not have anything except for its definition.
    Thanks

  • How to use External Routing in Human Task

    Hi,
    Could you please help me knowing how to create External Routing in Human Task in SOA Composite.
    Thanks

    When defining the external routing class in the .task, you can define the name value pairs which you want to pass to the program. Here you can pass dynamic values to the class as well by reading the appropiate node from the payload. In your class the name, value would be available in the "Map propertyBag" parameters in Rajiv's example link.
    Document says:
    Map of properties — When an assignment service is specified, a list of properties can also be specified to correlate callbacks with backend services that determine the task assignees.Or if you are too lazy to map many parameters and values, you can always read the whole Task task and then use getDocument and some xml reading to determine the values. This Task is the whole document.
    API:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/apirefs.1111/e10660/oracle/bpel/services/workflow/task/model/TaskType.html#getDocument__Document says:
    Task document — The task document that is executed by the workflow. The task document contains the payload and other task information like current state, and so on.Also you need to make sure that you are maintaining the state of the assignment class, doc says:
    The assignment service class cannot be stateful because every time workflow services need to call the assignment service, it creates a new instance.Thus if you are doing multiple serial assignments one after the another and if your server restarts in between, then the approval would start at the first assignee again. Suppose in Rajiv's doc link e.g., if the task is assigned to 'wfaulk' and the server restarts then the task would be assigned back to 'jstein'. In order to prevent this you need to modify the java code and each time the variable changes it's value you need to place it in a dehydration store. Also on each action over the process you need to reinitialize the variable from that dehydration store.

  • "Reassign" and "Adhoc Route" Actions in human tasks

    Has anyone run into oddities when using either the "Reassign" or "Adhoc Route" actions from within a task in the BPM workspace?
    When I try to re-assign to a different participant, it seems the assignment gets lost altogether. The task history section on the task form shows the particpant went from the user I was logged in as and performed the reassign action to a "blank" participant on the next row. The Action column next to the blank participant shows "System Update" and the updated by column shows the participant from the previous row.
    When I attempt to Adhoc Route, I select the participant to send to (via the search and moving them from the LHS to RHS of the shuttle widget) and add my comment - but when I click OK it doesn't go anywhere. The screen updates and the task history shows a new row indicating a comment was added, but not the adhoc routing assignment. It just stays in the current assignment as if nothing changed except the comment.

    It also seems that the "Edit Routing Slip" option isn't functioning properly. If you go into a human task and click the "edit" pencil next to the "Task will go from starting to final participant" and check "Allow participants to edit new participants" then when you view the task within workspace the routing slip within the "History" section will appear with buttons to add/remove/edit rows in addition to an "Apply" and "Reset" button. However the add/remove/edit icons are always disabled. I tried with a participant within the routing slip, the Process Owner as well as an administrative user, but the results were the same. Am I doing this incorrectly?
    Are these bugs or have these features not yet been implemented?

  • Follow up task without using the action profile

    Hi,
    Is it possible to create the follow up task without using the action profile? If so, please let me know how we can do that?
    as per the requirements, i have to the custom coding that will automatically create follow-on task triggered by status change on the all the transaction type. Please guide me how can we do that.
    Task details (task id, description), I'm reading it from the custom table.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Vaibhav

    Thanks Naresh for the response.
    Not sure if I can use the CRMV_EVENT. Even I'm not aware how to use that. Let me tell what i am doing in the logic.
    - implementing the logic in the badi order_save (method - CHECK_BEFORE_SAVE)
    - get the header and item details using the FM CRM_ORDER_READ.
    - get the status of header / item from the output of CRM_ORDER_READ.
    - compare the status with the custom table (having info of hearder type, item type, status, tast id, task description etc)
    - if status is different, create the task using the details from the custom table.
    now i want to write the logic to implement the last step. Do we have any standard FM where I can pass the task ID and it will create the task? Please help.

  • New task assigned to user from CurrentItem:UserField using Assign task action is assigned to different user.

    Hello ! 
    I have run into "funny" problem. 
    I have following workflow:
    User is creating item in ListA. In new form he needs to put Manager which is User Field column type. From people picker he is choosing login name Domain\jo (Two letters seems to be important here). User is resolved correctly to John Doe. Item is saved and
    added to list correctly. In list view John Doe is displayed in Manager column. In view item John Doe is in Manager field. In powershell Id;#John Doe is as a Manager field value. 
    Now the "funny" part:
    After item is added to ListA workflow is started automatically. Workflow is assigning new task to user from Manager (CurrentItem:Manager) field using Assign task action. Now the new task is assigned to different person i.e. John Dimagio with login name DOMAIN\jod
    ! When I am logging value to wf history of the CurrentItem:Manager field I am getting sth like i;123#DOMAIN\jod . So value is completely different and wrong. 
    Can someone explain why is this happening? 
    My guess is that using two letters login name can cause such case but why ?

  • Human Task – Using expressions in task parameters

    Hi All,
    In my BPEL process I have a Human Task with about 15 task parameters. I'm trying to define BPEL variables to each and every parameter. I am able to select a type 'variable' variable (ie. /ns18:OutputParameters/ns18:street_name) from tree view and save.
    However, whenever I click on the little flash-light icon and create a type 'expression' using the XPath expression builder I'm having problems saving the change.
    In details this is what happens,
    0.) Double click on Human Task
    1.) Click on flash-light icon in front of a parameter.
    2.) Select Type expression variable.
    3.) Click XPath expression builder.
    4.) Select conversion function 'string()' and double click to add.
    5.) Double click on the required BPEL variable to add.
    6.) Something similar to the following expression is created,
    string(bpws:getVariableData('InvokeGetAllABCInformation_FetchABCInformationService_OutputVariable','OutputParameters','/ns18:OutputParameters/ns18:ACC_ID'))
    7.) Click OK twice and then Apply/OK to go back to BPEL diagram view.
    8.) Now at this point the BPEL is not saved and the tab-title is italic to show it’s unsaved.
    9.) Save the BPEL to disk.
    10.) Double click on the Human Task to show parameters and variables defined.
    11.) The previously defined expression type variable is still there.
    12.) However now if I click either 'Apply' of 'OK' buttons without making any changes the BPEL diagram tab-title becomes italic and when the BPEL is saved to the disk, it forgets about all the expression type variables that was previously defined. Also note that cancelling wouldn't change anything.
    This is a serious issue as I can't change any setting to a Human Task parameter list, as every time I make a change, I loose all the expression type variable declarations.
    Could this be a bug in JDeveloper?
    My JDeveloper Studio Edition Version is: 10.1.3.3.0.4157
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Shaminda.

    ok, looks like no one knows what's going on,
    Here's the workaround that I came up with, If anyone is interested.
    Create a custom XSD (schema) with required variables in it (to be used by expression types vars), and use a copy operation before the human task and create the expression types in there. Then use the schema to map the values to the human task.

  • Using Human tasks in a BPM process

    Hi
    I managed to deploy the VacationRequest sample which uses human task in a BPEL process.
    I want to implement the same human task in a BPM process. Are there any tutorials or stepswise guide for the Vacation Request sample using BPM process?
    Also, what are the main differences between a BPEL and a BPM process because most of the things that are done in BPEL can be done in an BPM process as well.
    Thanks

    I was able to implement the same using a BPM Process.
    For those of you, who may require the steps:
    1. Create a webservice based on the VacationRequest.xsd with VacationRequest as request and VacationResponse as CallBack
    2. Create a human task and task flow as described in the VacationRequest.pdf provided along with the sample.
    3. Create a BPMN process, associate the Start Event to the WebService Interface and map the request and response.
    Also associate the End Event to theWebService callback port.
    4. Deploy the process and taskflow.
    But I have a query here? Even in the sample given(using bpel process) how will the requestor know that the leave has been approved/rejected.
    what exactly is sent out as the response to the call back port. And, where can the requestor view the response?

  • How to change the response of human task if we are using the skip rule

    Hi,
    We have developed the request workflow in OIM11g for this we are using the Beneficiary Manager approval composite to approve the request by his manager.
    We are using the skip rule in the human task component to skip the user if the requester is beneficiary manager.
    After the skip rule is executing the the request is going to failed state because of the response it is sending to the OIM
    The skip rule is working as expected but the response sending to OIM is COMPLETED instead of APPROVE.
    Please let us know the steps to change the response to Approve after the skip rule is executed or how to add the response COMPLETED in OIM.
    Thanks

    You will have to write a conditional block outisde the task where you would check if the skip condition is met and if yes then you will have to hard code the approved conditions into the payload for the task outcome.
    <assign name="SetAutoApproveConditions">
                            <copy>
                                <from expression="string('APPROVE')"/>
                                <to variable="ApprovalTask_1_globalVariable"

  • Bypass "Claim" action on a Human Task

    We are going to start user testing of our first BPEL process. The human tasks are set up to have a single approver, but they are assigned to a group of users. The users want to know if there is a way to by-pass having to claim the task, so that just one user could select the outcome they want without first having to claim the task. Is that possible, or must a task first be claimed by one of the people in the group before the actual outcome can be selected?
    Bonnie

    To achieve this functionality I am afraid you must modify worklist application code. I faced the same requirement some time ago, I simply modified dropdown box so that it alway displayed actions and before update on task added code that claimed task for user performing update.
