HyperLink in Email Task for Workflow

Hi experts,
I need to place a Hyperlink in an email task in my work flow(e.g. <A HREF="URL">Name</A>). When I do this it looks and acts correctly in SOST but when it is sent to outlook it is not a Hyperlink but the actual text.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Scott

Yes,
The message gets to Outlook fine but the hyperlink is sipmle raw text...
I am trying to send a Hyperlink in an email from my SAP workflow to Outlook in a WF email task. When I try to send the Hyperlink from a workflow(email task) I lose the Hyperlink from "SOST" to Outlook. The link looks and acts correctly in "SOST"(e.g. some text Name some text - were Name is the Hyperlink). But when the email is received in Outlook it looks like "some text <A href="URL" mce_href="URL">Name</A> some text". The Hyper link is gone and simple raw text is left.
Putting the actual link in the email will work just fine. Also, when I write a custom method to send the email with the SAP email function the Hyperlink works correctly. However, I'm curious if there is a setting in "SCOT" or somewhere which would allow me to place the Hyperlink in the email task itself. This would allow me to use the SAP WF email task avoiding the writing of custom code(BO method) whenever a customer wants a Hyperlink and not a straight URL.
Thanks,
Scott

Error developing a task for workflow processing

I made a very simple workflow to try to process an IDoc. First I took a look at what seems to be the SAP standard example of a workflow that processes IDocs (workflow WS20000378 - ORDERS - Incoming orders with workflow), tested it to verify it works, then took one step from that (the step that processes the IDoc) into a new workflow, checked the bindings between workflow container and task, then activated it and bound it to an inbound process code.
When I try to process an IDoc using the test tool, after setting up the partner profile correctly, it informs me that:
"IDoc inbound: Container definition for task WS90100001 has errors".
And the exact reason stated is:
(1) : The container definition does not contain the parameter 'IDOC_PACKET'.
(2) : The container element is not defined as an object type.
(3) : No object type could be determined for the container element 'IDOC_PACKET'.
Well I had already added the element IDOC_PACKET to the workflow container, and I have checked that it is defined exactly the same way as for the example workflow, but it just doesn't work.
Any suggestions how to proceed?
Kind regards,
Tony.

Hi Tony,
Sounds odd, should work. Just to discount any buffering, run tx SWU_OBUF and click on refresh. Failing that, try logging off from SAP and back on (don't laugh, it's done the job for some bizarre ones before).
Alternatively, copy WS20000378 (which works) to a new flow and delete all the steps you don't need.
Cheers
Mike

Configurting email address for workflow

Hi,
I have created a workflow program which sends message to my email address. This notification I can check from the NOTIFICATION TAB of the "Workflow Administartor Web" responsibility.
What configuration should be done, so that I can get the email in my email box.
Please let me know.
Thanks

In order to receive e-mail notifications from Oracle Workflow.
1. The notification's recipient role should have a valid e-mail address and notification preference of MAILHTML or MAILTEXT in workflow directory services.
select email_address, notification_preference
from wf_roles
where name = 'recipient';
Please note that in Oracle Apps, the FND preference for Notification Style overrides the value in WF_ROLES view.
2. The Workflow Notification Mailer should be configured and Running from Oracle Applications Manager -> Workflow Manager. This is typically done by Sysadmins.
Please refer to metalink note 231286.1 for more information.
3. It has to be verified that there is no Test Address specified for the Workflow Notification Mailer. If one is specified, all e-mails from the system will be sent to this e-mail address.
4. Workflow Deferred Agent Listener and Workflow Deferred Notification Agent Listener needs to be up and running all the time.

Email Notification for Forwarded Workflow task

Hi all,
Is there a way to trigger an email notification for a Forwarded Workflow task?
That is when we forward a task from my SAP inbox to another SAP user's inbox by clicking on the fwd button, there is no email notification generated to the user notifying that a task has been forwarded to him/her? We have to manually send an email to the person notifying that I have fwded a task in his inbox.
Maybe something in SWNCONFIG...
But what?? not sure... We currently use RSWUWFML2 ...
Thanks
Abhi

Hi Mike
Thanks for the quick Reply.
Have been lookking at SWNCONFIG and not sure how to accomplish it...
Do we have to add a new parameter on the general settings tab ? Is there a SAP delivered Parameter (setting) with a value??
Any input would be highly appreciated to point us in the right direction?
Thanks
Abhi

Related Item link is broken in DispForm.aspx for a task in Workflow Tasks list if file name contains " ' " (single quote)

Description:
We have created a custom workflow in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 and SharePoint 2013. This Workflow is associated with a Document library.
This Workflow starts as soon as any new item is created OR updated in Document library and creates a Task in Workflow Tasks list.
Related Item link is not working in following scenario -
Upload a file that contains “ ' “
in its name, in a document library
Navigate to Workflow Tasks list
Open View Item form (DispForm.aspx ) of Task Created by workflow then click on link in Related Item fields
OUPUT:
Related Item link truncates after “ ' “
Eg.
Original Link: http://<Site URL>/Documents/te'st.txt
Related Item Field: http://<Site URL>/Documents/te
Is this known bug in SharePoint 2013 OR any hotfix available to fix it.

Hi,
As I tested per your description, I can reproduce the issue as well.
From what I have found out, it seems SharePoint resolve single quote into different code in different place. During the test, if I set Task Name to Document Name, single quote will be resolved to ' , if I set some field to Document encoded URL, single
quote will be resolved to %27 . For now, I haven't found out any article talking about this issue.
As workaround, we may find out a way to change the Related Item field. However, it is OOB field in workflow task (SharePoint 2013) content type, and this content type cannot be modified in form.
I'd suggest you add new column to get document url and place in the form in Task content type settings.

Rebecca Tu

Email task notifications with form attachment for approval

I have a process that is started in Workspace and I have the preferences set for each of the users in the workflow to get task notifications via email with the form attached so they can approve/deny tasks in Reader/Acrobat without having to go back into Workspace.
The email works fine, the form is sent to the assigned user, however I'm a bit lost as to what to do in my process so when the user clicks the submit button the XDP data is sent to the right place. Poking around here it looks like I need to set up a Complete Task with an email endpoint? My forms have the Process Fields component already attached to them and looking at the data.xdp it is populating with the task ID and other data.
If that's that case a little bit of instructions on how to configure the Complete Task is in order for me. Do I put it on after each of the steps in the process that the form is transferred to different users, thus initiating more emails.
Thanks,
Mike

I have added an Email endpoint to the process. The mail gets removed from the inbox as i would expect but i get an error email. LiveCycle ES has tried to process your request and encountered the following error: Cannot coerce object: <document state="active" senderVersion="3" persistent="false" senderPersistent="true" passivated="false" senderPassivated="true" deserialized="true" senderHostId="127.0.0.1//10.64.128.161" callbackId="0" senderCallbackId="27" callbackRef="null" isLocalizable="true" isTransactionBound="false" defaultDisposalTimeout="600" disposalTimeout="600" maxInlineSize="65536" defaultMaxInlineSize="65536" inlineSize="2326" contentType="application/xdp" length="-1"><cacheId/><localBackendId/><globalBackendId/><senderLocalBackendId/><senderGl obalBackendId/><inline><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xfa generator="XFA2_4" APIVersion="2.6.7120.0"?> <xdp:xdp x...</inline><senderPullServantJndiName>adobe/idp/DocumentPullServant/adobejb_server1</se nderPullServantJndiName><attributes file="form_data.xdp"/></document> of type: com.adobe.idp.Document to type: class com.adobe.idp.taskmanager.form.impl.xfa.XFARepositoryFormInstance I had to set the mapping to *.xfa otherwise the email would just be ignored. It seems to me that livecycle is not clever enough to pick up an email that its own form sent to the server. Furthermore it would seem that an inbox must be unique for livecycle to pick up any submitted forms. That makes the whole send form to user thing worthless, since the form send to the user ALWAYS has the standard livecycle submit email address. That means per livecycle server you can have exactly one process that has an email endpoint for in process form submissions/reminders. An email inbox should work exactly like watched folders, i.e. email patterns per workflow.

Users as other task owners are receiving 5 emails notification for the same task

users as other task owners are receiving 5 emails notification for the same task in Sharepoint 2010. I have tried to add a 5 minutes delay on the other task owners workflow with no luck.any suggestions? Thanks

The Book confuses me. I still think assignment delay and leveling resources are the same. Here is the explanation from the book for the three concepts.
" Project offers two types of delays:
Leveling delay. This type of delay applies to tasks; it pushes out the start date for the task and all its resource assignments. It’s meant specifically for remov-ing resource overallocations. With the Leveling Delay field, you can remove
all leveling delays by choosing Resource➝Level➝Clear Leveling.
Assignment delay. This type of delay applies to a single assignment within a task. Suppose you have a security consultant coming in to help lock down your site. However, your employees have prep work to do before the consultant can get started.
You can assign everyone to the same “Try hacking into office” task but delay the consultant’s assignment by 5 days. "
After a couple of pages;
" Leveling Resources
In Project 2010, you can level the entire project, tasks you select, or a single resource. By leveling several tasks that are all vying for the resource, or alternatively, leveling only the most in-demand resources, you can focus on the problematic
portions of your project. Project automatically chooses popular settings in the Resource Level-ing dialog box. In most situations, you might as well run Resource Leveling with these settings. You can undo the leveling if you don’t like the results, but you
can get some clues from the initial results to help you determine the settings you need. Here’s how to level different parts of your project using the leveling settings cur-rently in place:
Level a resource. Select the resource you want to level, and then choose Resource➝Level➝Level Resource"

Different email sender for each workflow

Hi all,
The company i am working for already got some workflows and i am creating more for them. The problem is same users will be getting email from different workflows with almost similar subject text ( the option to have different subject text is being considered). We need to distinguish between the email sent from different workflows in order to help users identify the workflow. Is it possible to have different sender for different workflow send mail tasks
HR-WF-PA for PA workflows.
HR-WF-PD for Hr workflows.
MM-wf for MM workflows. same for MM many WF's
FI-wf for FI workflows. same goes here..
etc..
It's kind of hard for users to go through each mail and see if its relevant for them or not.
If i can have different sender for each workflow they can easily distinguish.
any suggestions?
thanks

Hello SasPas,
you'll need to implement the following steps:
- Subtype business object SELFITEM
- Overwrite method SendTaskDescription
- Copy/Paste the standard coding into the new method's coding section
- On the spot, where the work item ID is read, navigate to the FlowItem with the given work item ID.
- Read from a custom made table, where you assigned Flow-Item WS9xxxxx to sender names (actual user names in SAP)
- Create user names for each eMail address, you'll need and maintain their email address in SU01
- Replace the call to function module SWW_SRV_MAIL_SEND with a new call to SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 that offers the import parameter SENDER_ADDRESS. There you'll put the user name in. The document transposition to call the new function module might be a little tricky. Please try.
-> The workflows that now make use of the standard send mail function, i.e. using SELFITEM.SendTaskDescription now have a new sender's eMail address. There's no need to change the workflow pattern, if you make a SYSTEM WIDE DELEGATION in transaction SWO1 from SelfItem to your subtypes business object type.
Best wishes,
Florin

Overdue Email when using Workflow "Assign a task".

The new "Assign a task" action in SharePoint 2013 Workflows contains an option (under Email Options) to "Send Task Overdue Email(s)". You can choose the Frequency and Recurrence of the Emails. I have this set for a particular workflow,
but we aren't getting those Overdue EMAILS. (All the other EMAILS are working and I AM setting a "Due Date" on the task and the Task isn't marked as "Complete"....) I have read several articles on this subject and this
article was the only one that seems to address this (new) feature. It says to check the "Expiration" Timer Job (to see how often it is scheduled to run). Well, I only have one "Expiration" Timer Job and it is called "Expiration
Policy". I am pretty sure this isn't the right Job. Can anyone tell me what the name of the Job is that sends these Emails out?
Also, what is the "best" way to send out daily emails (reminders) for Tasks that haven't been completed? Should I use "Information Management" and kick off a Workflow that sends the email? (Something similar to what
this post suggests...) Or, should I create a Timer Job? I am certainly not opposed to writing code, but I would like to do this with OOB functionality if possible (and "practical").
Any help is MUCH appreciated!!!
Thanks,

To stop email notification for a user regarding PR release in workflow

Hi All,
I am new to workflow.
I need to stop an email notification for a user who receives it for PR release.
I checked earlier posts which stated some send email steps in workflow and extended notifications.
But I am not aware of any of this things.
Can you all please help me in resolving this? As i hardly know anything about workflow.
How can i check where this email notification gets triggered or from where it picks the user id?
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Dharmin
Identify which workflow is for PR:
Go to T Code SWI2_FREQ
Select the appropriate date range
Work item Type should be (Sub-)Workflow
Execute
You will get the list of ALL workflows triggered during the given time interval
Hopefully, the developers in your system have maintained the correct Work item text and you can identify the PR workflow . Pick the WSxxxxxxxx number from the "task" Column for the PR Workflow
Go to SWDD and analyze this workflow, check for steps which are sending the emails.
(simplest possibility)
Once you find the step, see if this can be blocked for a given user or not (or will it block for everyone).
Reach there and give us the details of the email step and we shall work out a way.
BTW - did you try to ask for the Functional and Technical Specs for this ?
It should contain some details to help you.

Modak

Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders

hi,
i have to send Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders to the user who have submitted the order for approval.how could it be done.please send ur solutions.
regards
yesukannan

Hi,
An option would be use Oracle Alert. Create an event based alert on the table where you have order approvals or rejections. This alert will be raised after inserting or updating this table. Create an action linked to this alert, and choose message as action type.
This setup can be done under Alert Manager Responsibility.

Execute SQL task for Email ToLine using COALESCE and two variables

Hello...
I am converting an old DTS package to SSIS. The old package consist of mostly ActiveX Script so I am breaking it down into steps. Basically... I am retreving a set of records that need to be sent via email to multiple people. In my package to create
my ToLine for the Send Mail Task I am using several steps. Frist I am using:
SELECT CASE
 WHEN EXISTS ( SELECT users.User_EmailAddress
FROM dbo.Errors INNER JOIN
 dbo.Users ON users.user_id = Errors.MonitorAuditor_User_Id
WHERE ([Audit_Id] = ?) AND ([ErrorCode_Id] = ?) ) THEN
 1
 ELSE
 0
 END AS ValidEventID
I use this to see if there is any records to create my email string. This works fine. After this I have a Script Task that splits my pipe in two. When no records exist (User::ValidEventID == 0) I am loging that event to a log. When records do exist
I am using another Execute SQL task to create the actual ToLine:
Declare @combinedString VARCHAR(max)
SELECT @combinedString = COALESCE(@combinedString + ', ', '') + Users.User_EmailAddress
FROM dbo.Errors INNER JOIN
 dbo.Users ON users.user_id = Errors.MonitorAuditor_User_Id
WHERE ([Audit_Id] = ?) AND ([ErrorCode_Id] = ?)
SELECT convert(varchar(4000),@combinedString) as StringValue
I have my resultSet set to Single Row. I have two variables coming if for the Audit_Id and ErrorCode_Id. My Result Set is set to a Variable: User::EmailAddressString.
Next it goes through a foreach loop to map to the ToLine email variable that I created named User:User_EmailAddress.
Then I am using that in my Send Email Task.
It all works fine when I hard code my variables into the COALESCE statement but as soon as I replace that with the ? that SSIS requires for variables I am getting the following error:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "Declare @combinedString VARCHAR(max)
SELECT ..." failed with the following error: "Syntax error, permission violation, or other nonspecific error". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly,
parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
I have tried changing my resultset property, I have checked my paramenters and my connection. I don't understand why it works fine when I have my varaiables hard coded but not when I change them to the ?.
Thanks in advance for you help in this matter.
Reach for the unknown!

Katherine... that did not work.
What I ended up doing was taking out the forloop all together. In my Execute SQL Task I changed the result set from single row to XML. I took out the COALESCE statement and just went for something more basic:
select users.User_EmailAddress + ';' as User_EmailAddress from Errors inner join users on users.user_id = Errors.MonitorAuditor_User_Id WHERE ([Audit_Id] = ? AND [ErrorCode_Id] = ?)
Currently I am just logging the string to a text file so I can see the results. In my text file the string is surrounded by <ROOT></ROOT>. So I will next I will work on triming that off the string and then populate my Send Mail Task.
This is how I trimed off the <ROOT></ROOT>:
Dts.Variables(
"EmailAddressString").Value = Replace(Dts.Variables("EmailAddressString").Value,
"<ROOT>",
Dts.Variables(
"EmailAddressString").Value = Replace(Dts.Variables("EmailAddressString").Value,
";</ROOT>",
Thanks again everyone for the help!
