IQS Notification and Workflow

Hi,
I would like to get some help in using the IQS Notifications. I am a novice in workflows.
1) I had added custom tabs to the IQS1(Create notification) transaction screen. Is it possible to trigger a workflow once the notification is saved?
2) Is there any SAP internal workflow that is triggered by default when a notification is created?
3) Also, I would like to take the inputs from the user as to who has to approve next. In the custom sub-screens, i have input fields to get the next level approvers. There are upto three levels of approvers. If I want to trigger my custom workflow,
what has to be done to make this Nofitication appear in the 'Worklist' IQS8 transaction of the manager for approval??
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Anand.

Hi Anand,
The answer to your questions are:
1) Yes. There is a business object (BUS2078) for QM notifications and some standard templates - WS24500047 is but one - to do the same.
First things first: is the event being published. Tunr on the event log using SWELS, create a notification using IQS1, and then check the event log (SWEL) to see if the event BUS2078.created is there. If so we may go onto the next step
2) Yes. Once you are sure the event is published, go to transaction SWETYPV and activate the event linkage for BUS2078.created to WS24500047.
3) Can be done with some effort. You will need to create a child object to BUS2078, set it as a delegate in SWO6, and add your new fields as attributes of the child object. You will then copy WS24500047 into your own namespace (using SWDD) and look at changing node 349 to send to 'Expression' <your new attribute>. Dont forget workflow using an org assignment model so you must concatenate an object type with your approvers (ie If user abc123, you would need to use the identifier 'US' (for SAP user) so it would become USabc123)
This is not a major job, but some attention to detail will be required.

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.

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.

OAI and Workflow - Setting Attributes to use in Notifications

Does anyone know how I go about getting at attributes in a message that goes through the Workflow Adapter?
What I am trying to do is to create a notification, which is more meaningful by adding some of the details I've passed through in the PARAMETER_LIST attributes of the Workflow message.
Any ideas?
Ian

Kavitha,
I've managed to do it, but using a simpler method (I think).
In iStudio
My Common View contains the attributes as follows:-
EMPLOYEE_NUMBER (String)
START_DATE (Date)
LAST_NAME (String) and
FIRST_NAME (String)
My subscribing Workflow Event maps these Common View values into the PARAMETER_LIST array in the Workflow message. The mappings are as follows:-
PARAMETER_LIST[v1].NAME=SetConstant (EMPLOYEE_NUMBER, "EMPLOYEE_NUMBER")
PARAMETER_LIST[v1].VALUE=CopyFields (EMPLOYEE_NUMBER)
PARAMETER_LIST[v2].NAME=SetConstant (START_DATE, "START_DATE")
PARAMETER_LIST[v2].VALUE=CopyFields (START_DATE)
PARAMETER_LIST[v3].NAME=SetConstant (LAST_NAME, "LAST_NAME")
PARAMETER_LIST[v3].VALUE=CopyFields (LAST_NAME)
PARAMETER_LIST[v4].NAME=SetConstant (FIRST_NAME, "FIRST_NAME")
PARAMETER_LIST[v4].VALUE=CopyFields (FIRST_NAME)
I also created the publishing Workflow Event. To get the values out of the PARAMETER_LIST array, I simply used the 'TrueConditionalCopy' transformation. For example,
EMPLOYEE_NUMBER=TrueConditionalCopy (PARAMETER_LIST[v1].NAME, PARAMETER_LIST[v1].VALUE, "EMPLOYEE_NUMBER")
In Workflow Builder
I created 4 additional ATTRIBUTES in the Workflow:-
EMPLOYEE_NUMBER_ATT (Type - Text)
START_DATE_ATT (Type - Text)
LAST_NAME_ATT (Type - Text) and
FIRST_NAME_ATT (Type - Text)
I then created my MESSAGE (Called 'Approve Update Employee'). I added 4 new MESSAGE ATTRIBUTES to this message:-
EMPLOYEE_NUMBER (Type - Text, Default Type - Item Attribute, Value - EMPLOYEE_NUMBER_ATT)
START_DATE (Type - Text, Default Type - Item Attribute, Value - START_DATE_ATT)
LAST_NAME (Type - Text, Default Type - Item Attribute, Value - LAST_NAME_ATT)
FIRST_NAME (Type - Text, Default Type - Item Attribute, Value - FIRST_NAME_ATT)
In the Message Body I used the '&EMPLOYEE_NUMBER' notation to bring back the values into the message when the Workflow runs. For example, "This message has been created to tell you that Employee &EMPLOYEE_NUMBER has changed some details. Details are First Name is &FIRST_NAME, Last Name is &LAST_NAME and their start date is &START_DATE. Please Approve or Reject this change by using the buttons below."
In the Workflow Diagram
After the START node (Subscribe Maintain_Employees.Update_Employees) I added a series (4 in all) of "Get Event Property" Standard Workflow functions (GETEVENTPROPERTY) in order to find out the values from my parameter list.
As an example, here is the one I did to get the Employee Number.
In the 'Node Attributes' tag (when you double-click on the "Get Event Property") set the values as follows:-
Name = Event, Type = Item Attribute, Value = OAI Message
Name = Property, Type = Constant, Value = Event Parameter
Name = Event Parameter, Type = Constant, Value = EMPLOYEE_NUMBER
Name = Item Attribute, Type = Constant, Value = EMPLOYEE_NUMBER_ATT
(Note that the 'Event Parameter' is the name you set it to when you did the SetConstant mapping i.e. EMPLOYEE_NUMBER. The 'Item Attribute' is the target ATTRIBUTE that the result of calling the GETEVENTPROPERTY will be put.)
I finished off the Workflow by creating a NOTIFICATION called 'Update Employee Notification' which uses the 'Approve Update Employee' message, and added the Result Type of 'Approval'.
If the message is APPROVED, then the workflow calls the Publish Event (END node type), if REJECTED then the Workflow goes to an END node (and not processed any further).
My Workflow looks like this.
START (Subscribe Maintain_Employees.Update_Employees)
GETEVENTPROPERTY (to get EMPLOYEE_NUMBER_ATT value)
GETEVENTPROPERTY (to get START_DATE_ATT value)
GETEVENTPROPERTY (to get LAST_NAME_ATT value)
GETEVENTPROPERTY (to get FIRST_NAME_ATT value)
Update Employee Notification --> REJECTED --> END
APPROVED
END (Publish Maintain_Employees.Update_Employee)
I'm not sure whether this is a good approach or not. The biggest upside is that I didn't have to do any additional coding. I only used standard OAI and Workflow functionality.
Thanks again for your help.

IQS Notification - Workflow

Hello Friends,
1) What is concept of notification type?
2) I have a new requirement where I need to create a notification number for specific notification type through <b>Inbound program</b>. How to do that?
3) As per my understanding we process all Notifications through IQS22.
How do we configure the screen sequence while processing the notification?
<b>My requirement is it ahould follow different screen sequence depending on type of action/process via IQS22.</b>
4) I need to create notification and trigger workflow for the same.
I hope these questions make sense.
Points will be rewarded for sure!!
Thanks

Digital Signature and workflow functionality in Enh Pack

We are working in ECC 6.0 environment. Recentaly we have activated Enh Pack 3 and 4 in our system. After that I can couple of additional QM functionality in system. SAP has provided few more settings in SPRO to activate digital signature in QN and workflow in standard peace.
I would be wonder if anyone has used those function in standard system without any custom development.
How can we use/ activate those (digital signature for QN and workflow) functionality? Reply appreciated.

SAP IMG > Quality Management> Quality Notifications> Notification processing> Specify Digital Signature
Give details like
Level -Header /Task Notification Type
Business
   Transaction
Signature Type
Strategy
Enter the Business Transaction: like PMM2 for Put notification in process,PMM4 for Complete notification,     QN40 for Release Task etc
Depending on your configuration systems asks for digital signature when you set header level status or Task level status
Means if u set Digital signature for PMM2 for Put notification in process system prompts for Digital siganture.

Rename "BPM and Workflow" forum to "SAP Business Workflow"

G'Day,
99% of posts in the [BPM and Workflow|SAP Business Workflow; forum deal with SAP Business Workflow. It was originally intended for ccBPM which - though they share some underlying architecture - is basically XI / PI.
A few ccBPM posts occasionally appear in the WF forum, but they are generally not answered and more appropriate in XI. These days I usually move them to XI when it's clear that the 'local' population won't answer it.
So to avoid confusion for people I propose to rename the forum to SAP Business Workflow or at least something that doesn't confuse it with XI.
Any input welcome.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Well, you probably already know what I think ;).
If there is little to no traffic for BPM, then let's call the forum what it is, SAP Business Workflow - Or Workflow and Guided Procedures?
Sidebar: I posted a question to various forums a few weeks ago, regarding 'How can SAP, and ASUG WF/BPM serve you better'. I am summarizing the responses I got below, in hopes that it helps guide you in your quest. The names have been excluded to protect the identities, but I think there is some very valuable info in here. Particularly the final point - which I will follow up on with the respondent.
Anyway, you didn't ask for it, but here it is.
> 1. Have you attended any webcasts related to SAP lately?
No. Not lately, and not ever. (I suppose I am old-fashioned...)
> 2. Are there any topics related to Workflow and BPM that you think are
> important for the 'community'?
Integrating workflows and guided procedures - e.g. enhancing existing workflows to use browser interfaces.
> 3. Looking ahead a year, what do you see as challenges in this area?
Processes that can be executed either in R/3 or in browsers, with information about the process progress etc, as in Guided Procedures. This will probably be the developers nightmare for the next few years.
1. Have you attended any webcasts related to SAP lately?
-yes I did - quite a few, but mostly on web related stuff and XI.
2. Are there any topics related to Workflow and BPM that you think are important for the 'community'?
- personally for me, I still find the guided procedure in Portals not so user friendly and limited. I think more education and influence around GP will be great. I think the community will also appreciate it.
3. Looking ahead a year, what do you see as challenges in this area?
- GP and UWL. I think the concept of "IT doing the first time and the business managing their rules" would be challenging. I have not yet seen this happen, especially on the logistics side. There is a session this year on the same topic at TechEd and I look forward to this session. Hopefully it will help us get some insight.
Right now I am struggling with even getting Workflow off the ground and getting the business to understand what Workflow is and trying to have them budget for it. Workflow is still new to the functional group and even getting them to consider Workflow verse alternatives is somewhat of a challenge. I really have had a great consultant that has taken me under his wing and taken the time to teach me. I think we would be a great story for a presentation.
My challenges for the next year, is how to get over the hump of selling workflow to the business and actually getting projects planned out. I don't know if anyone has an anwer to that one. My other challege is how to handle transfer of knowledge and maintaining workflow that has been built by consultants.
1) I have not attended many SAP webcasts (just one on Solution Manager in the past few months) I'm planning on attending one this comming Monday on BPM.
2) I think understanding UWL / SBWP differences, advantages, limitations on one vs the other, would be an important topic.   Also more information on Extended Notiications
3) Challenges: Upgrades and impact on WF, Unicode and WF and having more WF ABAP OO objects delivered by SAP, other than the "Absence Notification" sample.
1.       I havenu2019t personally attended but as a company we give a webinar once a week and weu2019ve had some great attendance
2.       Technically I think weu2019re OK. We see the need to tell C-level execs where workflow / BPM can help them in businessu2026.
_3.       Workflow is becoming more and more obscure in the SAP landscapeu2026

Reminder email notification and task assignment notification from humantask

Hi All ,
We have developed a 3 level approval SOA composite which sends the 1st level approval to a Manager and once Manager approves the request, the approval task is assigned to a 2nd level approver role(Group) for approval and after the approval from 2nd level approver group , the approval task is assigned to a 3rd level approver group .
After the request is submitted and the task is assigned to Manager for approval. Manager receives a task assignment notification (defined in the notification tab of the .task) and a reminder notification is fired after X hours of the task assignment. The issue is, the assignment notification and reminder notification are same, is it possible to send different notification on task assignment and a different notification on reminder.
Appreciate your help on this !
Thanks

The default email solutions in planning are using workflow or task lists, though the task lists are based on due dates.
If you wanted a solution where an email is sent out when a task list is complete, then one route could be to have a business rule attached to a task list and then the business rule uses a custom CDF to send out email notication.
If you are interested in sending emails from business rules then I did write a blog on the subject a while back.

Adobe interactive form and workflow attachment

I use an ABAP webdynpro to trigger a WF. The WD is an interactive adobe form step for users to enter data. Then before triggering the WF, I would like to save the form as an PDF form so I can send it to the subsequent work item processors. Is this possible? If yes, what do I need to do to make this happen.
Thanks.

Hi Raja,
If i understand well the only way to have Adboe forms in ABAP Wrokflow is to use ISR , that's right ?
Here's my scenario.
An User trigger with an abap program a Specific flow , then i send several mails with Adobe forms inside . Thoses forms are send back by mail and process by the abap system .
My problem is to make sure that all forms have been process and for this i had to develop a specific program in abap in order to check it.
So Is it possible to define a SAP Abap workflow where on each workitem i will add as attachment my pdf form . Then i can used standard Notification and Standard functionnality of reminding of ABAP Workflow.
Best regards.

MSS and workflow integration--Adobe forms

Hi ,
Can anyone send me some links on Workflow integrartion with MSS . I am looking out for MSS integration with Adobe forms ..
Regards
Abhilash

Hi Peter
This is probably more of a Forms question than workflow. At a very high level, in Apps, the workflow browser session is actually launched from a Forms session, some kind of socket connection is actually passed to the workflow session, so that when opening the new Form, it is opened in the existing applet.
Cheers

Hi,
we are building an application with web-enabled Forms 9i and Workflow 2.6.2 on Oracle 9i - and have an integration issue.
We want to include a link to Oracle Forms within a workflow notification so that the user can go directly to a particular screen in our Forms application. Including a URL to our forms application will invoke a new Forms applet on the client, but can we go to a new form in a Forms applet that is already running?
I've seen others ask the question in the forums but haven't seen any definitive responses. Oracle eBusiness Suite seems to have something like this - does anyone know how it was done and is it possible in stand-alone Workflow?
Any info. would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter

Approving mass notifications and storing info in database.

I have a question regarding SSHR and Workflow. We are
implementing HRMS and SSHR. Due to some wrong setup's all the
changes done by employee have gone to CEO level instead of
immediate Manager. Since the CEO does not have time, how can all
the notification can be approved and at the same time the
corrected basic details are stored in Database.
Thanks in advance.

Thread moved to the Dreamweaver Application Development forum, which is the appropriate place for discussing server-side issues. Also added ASP to the subject line to clarify which server-side technology is being used.

IStudio and Workflow Builder

Hi there,
I am running 9iASR2 v9.0.3.1, 9i database v9.2.0.4 and
iStudio 9iASR2.
Am unable to "edit workflow configuration" from iStudio,
nothing happens, when I chose this option.
The problem I have is that the workflow is database A and the OAI repository is on database B and be default iStudio is assigning workflow repository to be database B 9 (same as for OAI) but this not what I need or want?
Is there something wrong in what I am trying to do?
Also, what steps, I need to take if I need to move the workflow and warehouse repository over from database A to database B?

Hi,
Workflow and AME are very different products/technologies so, hard to compare them. I will try to explain only in SSHR perspective.
1. If you want to change the pages in a flow, say Hire or Transfer or such, user workflow to move pages around and/or move pages.
2. If you want to change the approvals setup for any transactions, then use AME.
AME is only used for approvals. However, Workflow has varied used and can be used for page flow control, notifications and alerts, approvals and more. AME internally uses the workflow (name specified in the AME transaction) to send notifications and record reponses.
Hope that helps.

Sales Order and workflow

Hi,
I just want to know what is work flow and for the sales order how to see the work flow? Is the work flow and the document flow are same ? please help me understanding this.
Regards,
Venksys

Hi Venky,
Just giving you examples for both work flow and document flow.
Document Flow:
After creating the sales order, you may create the delivery, shipment and invoice. All these documents can be seen from the sales order by clicking the "Document Flow" icon
Work Flow:
While creating the sales order you may want the user to restrict from giving more than 5% discount.If the user gives more than 5% discount, then a notification can be triggered to his manager. The manager can then review the sales order and approve the discount. This is called workflow.
Both document flow and workflow are different.

Scripts and Workflows set as iCal alarms not functioning in Lion...

...or it could be becuase i am using a Beta version related to the Beta for iClloud and iOS5....I'm not 100% sure....
All I know is that I have scripts and workflows that used to work before the upgrade, they STILL work when I run them independantly using Script editor and Automator, but they do not run when the iCal alarm that they are tied to goes off. Coem to think of it, the only way that i know those alrms are going off is that I get a notification on my synced iPhone that tells me they are going off. - so i guess I really don't know if those alarms are working on my mac at home.
any thoughts or help?

For me it's completely random. Some examples of what's happened to me...
- I've set a new alarm (that I need to go off weekly) When I first set it it will pop up, but then the next week it will not. But then sometimes it will.
- I also have an alarm to check woot.com everyday that NEVER goes off.
I don't know if anyone else is having this problem (or if it's related) but something else also started happening the same time I installed Leopard... Occasionaly whatever window in any program I'm working in will all of a sudden go inactive / ghosted so I'm not able to type, etc. I have to click on the window I was working in to make it active again.
The tech I talked to thought that perhaps a pop up alarm was popping up OFF screen and therefore causing the inactive window problem. But after erasing all the info in my iCal (that's right, EVERY appointment had to be reentered) I know for a fact that's not the problem.

QM - Procedure for notification standard workflows

Dear everybody,
I Know nothing of the QM module. I have enabled triggered QM quality notification template, but when I create a notification for QM01 transaction, only the coordinator receives a workitem in her workplace. The users responsible of the tasks donu2019t get any workitems in their workplace. Could I get some help with the QM procedure for notification standard workflows? Or else, I ´d appreciate it if anyone knew how to proceed so that the responsible user gets a workitem in his workplace.
Thanks in advance.
Beatriz.
So sorry for my English level.
