Is it possible to action an approval work item sent to Lotus Notes mail

Hi SRM Experts,
Just want to find out if its possible to action an approval work directly from a Lotus Notes email inbox without manaully logging into SRM.
I know this is possible using Microsft outlook.

Hello Joe,
Please check RBBP_NOTIFICATION_OFFAPP offline approval.

Approval Work Item still appears in inbox after approval

Hello, We have an issue in SRM 7.0 UWL when an approval work item at a specific level finds more than 1 approver.
1) When there is more than 1 agent at a specifc approval level, after the item is approved the work item still stays in the Inbox of the approver. However, the approval tab on the document in SRM shows that approval is now at next level. The workflow log does not show any updates based on the approval that was done.
2) However, if the work item in UWL is clicked on twice, and approval is done from the webdynpro launced the second time, then it behaves correctly. Workflow logs get updated, next approval is routed correctly, and work item is removed from inbox.
Note: This only happens when an approval level has more than 1 agent. If there is only 1 agent, the behavior is correct.
Appreciate any help!
Zack

Hi,
Is this a standard solution or modified solution?
You could have faced a bug in the standard work item completion code. I have seen this a few times (not with SRM though). Coul you check that what is the actual status of the work item after you have tried to approve the work item for the first time. You can check the status in transaction SWI1 (or table SWWWWIHEAD). Is the status COMMITTED? And after you try approve it second time, does it get status COMPLETED? IF this is the case (the status is COMMITTED after first approval), there is a bug in the code somewhere. You might find a solution for this from OSS. IF you have some kind of customized solution, you need to talk with a WF consultant - basically you need to call the work item completion function two times in a row.

Hello, my email is connected to Lotus Notes. When I updated my iPad to iOS 6, it REQUIRED that I have a password for the iPad or else my email wouldn't work or synchronize with Lotus Notes (on my work laptop). This is really frustrating, please help.

Hello, my email is connected to Lotus Notes. When I updated my iPad to iOS 6, it REQUIRED that I have a password for the iPad or else my email wouldn't work or synchronize with Lotus Notes (on my work laptop). This is really frustrating, because I cannot disable the password under General<Passcode. Thanks!

This would almost certainly be a setting that is being enforced by your company. You'll need to talk to them about this.

Lotus Notes Mail remotely gives me following "A problem has occurred which may have caused the current operation to fail. A problem has occurred which may have caused the current operation to fail." Works OK with IE9 64bit, IE9 32bit and Google Chrome.

I get Lotus Notes Mail from the Acton site link to the lotus domino server.
Works fine in IE9 (32 & 64bit) and with Google Chrone. Google 7 gives the following error:-
"A problem has occurred which may have caused the current operation to fail."

Actually, this isn't a cache problem, it's an issue with iNotes and Firefox 4. I found the answer in comments at a similar question. See:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/798271#answer-153202
I downloaded the Remote XUL Manager add-on for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remote-xul-manager/), restarted FF, went to Tools and scrolled down and clicked on "Remote XUL Manager." I clicked "Add" and pasted the URL for the link where I log-in to Lotus Notes into the dialogue box, and ta-dah! Back to email. Took me longer to type this than fix the problem.

Incomplete Approval Work Item Removed from Agent Inbox

Dear All WF Experts,
I noticed this strange scenario:
Let say Agent A and Agent B are sent a work item.
If Agent A has executed the work item in SBWP previously, the work item is removed from Agent B's inbox (And the status is changed to 'STARTED'). However, the work item is not processed yet.
Is there anyway to make the work item stays in the inbox until either agent approved the work item?
Thanks in all advances.
Regards,
YL

Thanks Arghadip for your response. Sorry for my blunt question.
Actually, the Agent A and Agent B are the approvers for PR approval by position (Agent A and Agent B are the users in the mentioned position).
Thus, when a PR is raised, both Agent A and Agent B received the same PR work item.
If Agent A execute the work item but does not release the PR, the work item still remains in Agent A's inbox as there is no terminating event. So, based on the logic, in Agent B's inbox, the work item should still be there because the work item is not fully processed yet (no terminating event takes place).
But, now, from what I saw, as long as any of the responsible agents executed (started) the work item, even if they do not release it, the work item is removed from all other agents' inbox and only remain in the inbox of the agent who first executed the work item.
I interpreted this as there is at least one agent already view the work item and know the existence of the PR to be approved, thus the other agents do not need to bother about the PR anymore. But, is my interpretation correct? And is there anyway to make the work item stay in the inbox of all approvers until there is one terminating event?
Thank you so much.

YL

Retrieving approval work item comments

Does anyone know how you retreive the comments inserted by approvers against approvals, so they can be used in workflows? This is a text area with a fieldref name of Log Comments with an inner field name of :variables.comments. I have tried to grab this value of :variables.comments in a hidden field in the Work Item List Form without success and just cannot figure out how to retreive it.

Hi, I have the same problem.
If you log into the IDM admin interface
and look under the WorkItems->Approvals tab,
the out-of-the-box approvals process
presents a text-area where an approver
can add comments.
How do you capture the comments so you can use it,
for example, in the body of an email?
Thanks,

Palm Pre still not working with IMAP on Lotus Notes

Even after Web OS 1.1 I still can not get my Palm Pre to Sync with my works IMAP Lotus Notes. We use a self siged cert, so I did a manual move of the cert to my Palm Pre (instructions I got on this site) Next I instlled the cert with the Cert Mgr. It installed fine. When I run a manual sync all I get is the yellow error triangle. It does pull down all my Lotus Notes E-Mail Folders but no E-Mail. I know this config is fine, becuse I can duplicate the setup in my PC E-mail Cleint Thunderbird and it works fine to send a rec mail. Can someone from this site or Palm Support help. I am going to have to move to the I-Phone if you can't get this working soon. Other people must have the same problem.
Thanks Again....
Post relates to: Palm m515

Don't feel alone in this, I have the exact same issues, folders show up but not emails.
I am a network engineer by trade and have tried all of the listed solutions and many unlisted solutions.
I think its a case of IBM not caring about mobile phone users in general and IMAP standards in particular and Palm not caring a great deal about Domino users with Palm Pre's because there are likely not too many of them.
But hey, they got their money from me for the phone so why should they care anymore?
Some of us have to use Domino, no choice, we had hoped to use Palm Pre's. I can get IPhones to work with Domino and IMAP so I guess thats going to be one part of the market Palm is going to lose... Its Palms choice.

Work Item: Is it possible to re-execute a work item ?

Hello all,
Once a W.I. has completed, is it possible to re-execute it ?
Thanks.
José

Hi Rick,
Wel... at first, I was simply double-clicking on the WI in the Business WP and it seemed to me like it was not executing it but after some deeper analysis, I realized that I had a problem with my code and that it was actually re-executing it everytime I was doubli-clicking on it.
In conclusion, we can re-execute a WI as long as its status is not "Completed" i.e if the status is "Executed", we can re-execute it no problem.

Error while approving work item

Hi All,
I am getting error while approving a claim request; error is:
error while inserting claim record xxxxxxx in cluster for employee xxxxxxxx
This does not happen always, some time I am able to approve and sometime i got the error.
I am using same set of user ids and same perspnal nos; does this thing matters and causing this issue or this should not cause this problem.
Please advice!
Thanks and Regards,
Honey

Hi Honey,
Could you please check note number: 1374072 which is for the PY-IN-PS. I don't think that this warning message that you are seeing is applicable to the UWL or generated from the UWL component. Error messages like this are usually generated from the ABAP system and more specifically from the application area. Another hint would be to check ST22 to see if there is a short dump occuring in the backend system.
According to the note, this error will be thrown when:
"Error on Approver Screen stating "Error while inserting claim
record <Reference Number> in cluster for employee <Employee
Number>". This happens only when the approver tries approving the
request almost immediately after the employee has submitted the
request."
I hope that this information is helpful to you.

Open pdf attackment in work item in browser and not in SAP GUI

In portal (central worklist) i am opening workitem and when i click on the pdf attachment it opens pdf in SAP GUI. I would like to open this attachment in a regular browser.
I create the pdf attachment as follow:
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      i_name     = '/DIGOFF/HR01_ARBEIDSAVTALE'
    IMPORTING
      e_funcname = i_funcname.
Call the Adobe form
CALL FUNCTION i_funcname
    EXPORTING
      /1bcdwb/docparams      = fp_docparams
      sfp_tilsettingsforhold = tilsettingsforhold
      stillingsinfo          = stillingsinfo
    IMPORTING
      /1bcdwb/formoutput     = fp_formoutput.
Then the output fp_formoutput-pdf is sent to the container for the attachment.
Is their any other way to implement which will show the pdf in browser?
Any suggestion/help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
From your description, I know you want to open SharePoint 2013 PDF files with default application.
You could re-install your Adobe Reader, and then test this issue. Also, you can have test in another computer with Adobe Reader.
If this issue is still exist, please refer to this article:

Approval work flow for Role based and Resource based

Hi All,
We have to implement approval work flow for the following things in OIM 9.1.0.1
Approval work flow for Functional Roles (Groups in OIM) (Approvalsrequired for users to get these roles)
IT Roles (Resources in OIM) (Approvalsrequired for users to get these resource)
Functional Role (Group) contains policy1,polici2. Polciy1 contains res1,res2 and Policy2 contain res3,res4.I want to create approval work flow for this Functional Role to achieve the following
User raise a request for the functional role, then it should wait to get manager approval. then once its gets approval, that user account should create on all resources which are involved in that group.
And, I have to define approoval work flow for all individual resources to get users account creation on target with approvals. These resources may include in the groups as well.
After getting approval for functional role (Group), then Will OIM starts the approval flow for all resources involved in the group? becase, all resources have approval workflow at resource level also.
My Goal: Approval work flow for Group, should not process the approval work flow for resource. can we do it in OIM 9.1.0.1?
And can we do the same in OIM 11g also?
Please help me and do let me know, if you need any information from my end.
Thanks.

Thats configurable buddy ! ! And possible in 10G and 11G both versions.
Functional Roles : These are the groups/roles in OIM 10g/11g with access policies attached at the backend.
- Create a dummy resource and name it Request Role or anything as you like. Attach an Object Form to it and have form field for Role Name, this would be a lookup type field linked to all OIM groups (leave system values using lookup query). So a user can select any OIM Group in this request as per configuration. Have approval workflows defined on this dummy resource Request Role and in its Provisioning Process make user/s a part of the requested group.
- Now once the user is made a part of the group, the associated access policy would be invoked automatically and thereby provisioning. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that create the access policy without approval (there is a check box). If you do this the approvals would never be invoked even if you assign a group manually to the user coz it suppresses all the approvals in this access policy.
IT Roles : These would be linked to the resource and you can define individual approvals on the resources as required.These approvals would be required if someone raises a request for these resources individually.
Thanks

Actions aren't working correctly in Photoshop CC 2014

Hey guys,
I hope someone can shed some light on this. I have several actions for Photoshop, that have been working fine in CC 2014. But today when I tried to use one, it would load up fine, though the end result would look wrong.
I got 2 friends at work to try the same action and it worked fine for them. Not sure what's going on. I tried the action in the original version of CC and it worked fine, which is weird.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks

At this moment, I have tried : Reset the "Adobe Photoshop Settings File" (When you open Photoshop, push "option + command + shift" for Apple).
Not ok.

Approve Working Time Error

Hi
We are on EP7 with ECC6.0 as backend.
We are trying to use the Approve Working Time iview in MSS but it gives the following error:
Critical Error
A critical error has occured. Processing of the service had to be terminated. Unsaved data has been lost.
Please contact your system administrator.
The ASSERT condition was violated., error key: RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE
We have maintained the following customizing in backend(
1.Define Approval view: SAP_LINE ( SAP Approval by Line Manager)
2.Define Field Selection for Individual Approval view: SLIN1 and with it Field customizing Field label
Personnel Number , Attendance or Absence Type,Text for Attendance or Absence Type, WorkBreakdown Structure Element, Receiver Order etc.
3. Define Field Selection for Detail View: Attendance, Counter etc
4.Define Profiles and Assign to Views: SAP_Line: Initial View=SAP_Line.
5. Create Rule Groups: SAP Standard( 01)
6 Adjust Webmo feature: Time Sheet Application..assigned rule group: SAP Standard(01)
The Approver is a Manager with A012 relationship with a particular org unit.
Kindly suggest where may lie the problem.....we have a requirement of Collective Approval of Working Times of his subordinates by the Manager.
I would like to add here that we are able to approve Working time requests individually through UWL...but we need to use the Approve Working Time Iview.

Hi
We are using the standard taskTS20000460. But we want to use the Approve Working Time service iview.
When we were using the evaluation path for approving the working time data through A012( Chief) in MSS, we were able to see all the working times recorded by the subordinates of the said Chief( Manager) in the service Approve Working Time itself, we did not necessarily have go to UWL and approve from there....Now after we have made the required changes in the evaluation path and made A002 as the approver, the same iview Approve Working Time has a message that "No date exists that needs to be approved'.
At the same time we are able to view and approve the working time data from UWL of A002.
Is there a change that needs to be done in the service to get it working ? or it this because of some other reason.
Please advise.

Need help in getting proposed approvers for a work item

Hi All,
We are trying to get the proposed approvers and the actual approver details for a particular work item.
Before the work item is actioned we are able to see all the proposed agents for that particular work item.
But once that work item is actioned then only the agen who has actioned on the work item is appearing in the list. All other agents are not appearing.
For this we are using the FM BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_WORKFLOW_GET.
We have also tried some other FM's and tables, but none of them were helpfull.
Please let us know if you know any table or FM or class which we can use to get these details.
Scenario:
Work Item: 12345
Before action on the work item
Possible(Proposed) agents: Agent 1, Agent 2, Agent 3.
Actual Agent: blank
What we want, after action on the work item if "Agent 2" acts on that item.
Possible(Proposed) agents: Agent 1, Agent 2, Agent 3.
Actual Agent: Agent 2
But what we are get is:
Possible(Proposed) agents: Agent 2.
Actual Agent: Agent 2
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Kranthi.

Hi,
What did you draw those lines with ???? Just a drawLine() command ????
If so, it is very difficult to track the exact mouse coordinates that correspond to a click at a particular place and then place an 'X' or an 'O' there !!!!
Try implementing it with 9 Buttons placed at those specific positions. In this case, it will be very simple to track the user's input when he clicks on any of those buttons...the implementation will become really simpler.
Check it out !
