Is it possible to update a checked out record in a workflow?

Hi All,
I want to join a checked out records in a workflow with a updated record.. I am getting the following error:
Import failed. Cannot import record because it is already in a workflow or is already checked out by another user
Import action: Update (All Mapped Fields)Source record no: 2
I have created a workflow with validations in it.. and they are failed and the records are held in that workflow.. Now I want to update those records with another import.. I am unable to join that check out records in the workflow..
Any inputs.
Thanks
Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
Yes we can not import the records which are in an Workflow your import fails.
As ravi suggested Auto join checked out records will work only when the user who checked out and the importing user are same.. but if you are trying to update the record which is checked out by another user you can not be able to update that record.
Why are the records which are failed in the other workflow are checked out? any reason.
when you design the worflow for validating a record are you using validation step or branch step ?
You should use branch step on default condition you should have an assginment(for stating some field in the repository as Error so that you can trace how many records failed) and another stop step which will check in\rollback those values.
So your records will be in check in after the first workflow is processed..... and you can proceed with your import then.
Let me know whether i understand your problem or not, if i am wrong please let me know the complete scenario which you want to achieve.

Portal check out record does not check in when MDM workflow is active

Hi Experts,
We are using portal as front end for the MDM material creation/update.
when a user tries to edit a material via portal, the record is checked out in mdm and once the record update is done and submitted that particular record will be checked in. this is normal process and automatic in nature till date.
However, we have created a simple workflow in mdm, we havent checked out records in start step of workflow.
So it normally executes without check out /in via MDM Workflow.
workflow triggerring action = record import, record update, record add.
when i edit the material vai data manager WF triggers fine and all is well.
However when i edit the material via portal, record is checked out (which is normal) and once record is submitted, the workflow in mdm is triggered successfully.
Workflow ends with all necessary syndication's and validations and ends successfully, But after this the record still remains as checked out? ???
ideally as mentioned above (in bold) once the user completes editing the record and submits it, the record should be checked in, but this is not happening!!!
Please let me know why is this happening.
Please help.
Regards
Eva

Hi Eva,
That is useful.
Analyzing this issue I came across SAP note 1740194-Record remains in exclusive lock after workflow is completed.This was an issue observed in SAP MDM 7.1 SP08.
It gives a workaround -
The workaround is:
The owner of updating has to click on the modified record in Data Manager after workflow completed. The original modified record will be unlocked.
Ofcourse,resolution would require an upgrade.
Thanks,
Ravi

Check Out Records through Workflow

Hi
I want to Check Out records that are added through Import Mgr untill they are reviewed and approved. However, if i enable "Check Out Records" for Start activity and select "Action on Records" as "Check In" for Stop activity - the Workflow fails to launch giving an error message "Not yet implemented".
How do i achive this functionality?

No way to checkin/checkout records from a non-main table.
This would not be logical. When you check out a record from a flat table and it is used as a lookup value somewhere in the main table, so what to do with such a situation? Checkout the corresponding main table recordt? This would be rather confusing.
In other words, it is quite a question how to handle checkin/checkout for records that are used somewhere else.
There is no such problem for the main table records - they can never be lookup values and no record in a repository can depend on them.
So, no way to checkout records from a flat table.

How to find the owner of checked-out record?

Hello Experts,
How to find the owner of checked-out record?

Hi,
I completely agree with Ravi.
If you are using MDM 7.1 you can see the Job ID of that record on the right in MDM
Login as Admin in MDM and search for the job ID to find the owner of the record

Update after check-out

Hello,
One of my colleague had checked-in the code in his Studio. How Do I get the updated code in my studio with re-importing the Dev Config. How do I get those changes in my developer Studio?.
Thanks,
Sunita.

No, it will not overwrite your code with someone else's code (if you did a proper check-out of the code). You must pay attention during check-in though. You might get a conflict that the DTR is not able to resolve that by itself. If any conflict occurs, you'll see a red line in the DTR console. You can then use the DTR Integration Conflicts view to resolve any conflicts.

The workflow could not check out the list item.

Hi Guys,
I have a workflow enabled on document library and it needs to started manually.
Whenever user starts workflow manually, gets following error:
"the workflow could not check out the list item. Make sure the list item is not checked out." list item is not checked out & this workflow was working smoothly earlier.
OutCome: The workflow operation failed because the workflow lookup found no matching item.
I have gone through below links:

Any clue on this?
Thanks, Nilesh

maybe check out for editing documents setting is turned on so wokrflow needs doc to ce cheked out before proceding and user might not have permission to do that.

Check-out Exclusive and Check-out Nonexclusive

Hi,
When we check out a record exclusively or non-exclusively why is the 'Modify Join Permissions' option active(not disabled).According to my understanding,if we make check-out non-exclusive, without modifying join permission,all the other users must be able to 'Join checkout'.If it is exclusive we have to assign user and role who can Join Checkout it.Then why is the 'Modify Join Permission' option coming for non-exclusive checkout also.Apart from my understanding is there any other difference between the two.Please help me in clarifying this.
Thanks and Regards,
Preethi

Hi,
(1) Exclusive, which grants join permissions to no other roles or users (by default, no other users can join the checkout); and
(2) Nonexclusive, which grants join permissions to the Everyone role (by default, all users can join the checkout).
Instead of checking in the duplicate record, the owner can use the Roll Backcommand to delete the duplicate and abandon changes.
You can use the All Versions command to display both versions (originals and duplicates) of all checked out records. This is the only way for other users to join the check out of new records.
You can use role-based privileges to decide whether owners and/or non-owners are permitted to check in, roll back, or modify join permissions of checked out records.

Check out Error

Hi,
I am working with workflow,At the start i had checked out records,however accidently the workflow got deleted.
Now I am not able to delete or check in or rollback the record.
Its giving an error :Record already used in workflow.
Any suggestion
Regards
Nisha

Hi Nisha,
Login to Data manager using WF owner's credentials (Admin or WFAdmin, as per ur case) . Just right click on the record in data manager --> Check in/out --> All Versions. Now on the checked out version of the record launch the same workflow again (in which WF you have checked out the record in first step). Manually push the WF to next steps using data manager only (In workflows tab). Once this workflow gets completed, your record will get check in (Only if u have check in in the last step of ur WF configuration in visio). Then You will be able to perform any operations on that record.
Hope this solves your problem.

Dheeraj.

Help. MacbookPro9,1 w/ 840 SSD not booting after 10.9.2 update. Drive checks out fine, and works well w/ 10.9.1

Hi Everyone.
My Macbook has been running fine on 10.9.1. When I installed the update, the computer won't boot up. It stays on the apple logo. I tried Safe Mode, resetting PRAM/NRAM, Single User Mode etc., nothing.
I scanned and repaired permissions on the drive, but everytime the drive itself checks out fine. So I did a time machine restore, and everything works well (10.9.1). Figured it was just a fluke, so I attempted to update again. Same issue!
Booting in verbose mode gave me the following:
The only thing that I can think of from trying to read around in all the multiple posts is that maybe 10.9.2 doesn't like my SSD?

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Has anyone checked out the latest iTunes update where you are supposed to be able to view your wish list from your music library?

I updated my iMac yesterday to check out this new feature, but I can't seem to figure out how it works. Can anyone tell me how to view my wishlist from my music library. I restarted my computer, but that didn't work either. I'm obviously missing something. Otherwise, accessing my wishlist just works like it always did. I would appreciate some input on this.

Here are several screenshots from my iTunes Library...

Possible to check IN and Check Out Reference Tables?

Hi All,
I am wondering is it possible to check in and check out Look Up and other tables like we do for main table???
If so can any one letme know how?
Thanks
Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
Can you elaborate your business requirement of having Check out on reference table?
Checked out option is used for the below scenario in Main Table
Create - If the record is checked out, then it is virtually available in MDM until it is approved as the part of the workflow
Change - The record is kept checked out , so that the user who changes it owns it , and no others has access to change it to achieve the data consitency
But for reference data , the records is already available in the target system and it is fed to MDM

Possible problems with Check out and Open Component and delayed publishing

Hi,
I've experienced some seemingly wrong behaviors of the checkout and open component and also with the delayed publishing feature, I've listed it down :
1) The all important one:
We know we've delayed publishing features for content, if we set the Release Date metadata at a future date, the content will not be released immediately, but do we have a delayed publishing features for a website page. Through manage website the user can add / delete a page(section), may do include or exclude from navigation etc.. but can they set a future date when a particular page can be included in or excluded from navigation? This should be a standard feature for a WCM solution and I hope there is some solution for sure.
2) Can we set a datefield with a calendar feature as a page custom (section) property?
3) Again the issue with checkout and open component, only the user with admin privilege seems to be able to change the content, normal contributors cannot, cause every time is tries to check in with the old author name, so the user has to have admin privilege to assign a different doc author's name. No trace also who is making the changes.
4) Also facing a lot of problems while trying to implement when we use this checkout and open component. As we cannot check who is making the change there is to way to set us a step for self review, also user can only approve or reject but cannot edit the doc before passing it to the next step, if the step user is created using tokens then only checking out of the doc takes it pass the step user, but everything is working perfect with contributor data file. No problem whatsoever. Even if we use manual check out and then check in (i mean without using checkout and open component) this is working fine. But the main problem with non-technical users will be they would not like the content server portal at all and they would always prefer ms word over anything else. They would directly like to double-click on the website page, the word doc will pop up and they would make change and save.
Issue 1 and 4 are killer issues for us, I need your help to find a solution. I have few more issues that i will post later.

Nirmalya

Hey Shotdawq,
I was a bit low on bandwidth, so could not visit the forum any sooner.DIS is dynamic integration studio, it works on the webdav protocol.
you will need to install DIS on the client machines. The POC that i did was integration of SiteStudio with CheckOutAndOpenInNative.
I am also planning to referenc this functionality from WebSphere, what i have in my mind is to copy the java script from my sitestudio page and paste
it in the JSP, and then using the CIS or RIDC will execute the serverices. At present i am stuck in some other work, If i get this thing working i will
update you. In the meanwhile if you have some question for me, feel free to throw them.
cheers,

Updating record with check out in Workflow by Import Server

Hi,
I have a Workflow starting with "Checkout". During the Workflow, a syndicate is executed, a WebService is called and the response is processed by Import Server.
The record is not updated because it's u201Ccheckoutedu201D.
The user that executes the Import Server is the Admin, which have all roles and the u201CAuto-Join checked out recordsu201D parameter is u201Cyesu201D.
Can I update a record with check out by Import Server? The MDM version is 5.5.64.71
Thank you,
Evandro

Lets start with this....
1. Auto-Join checkout records -->Yes ; should join the record which is already checkedout as well as in workflow.
2. Check the [owner] assigned to workflow record that might stop you to AUTO-JOIN this record to exisiting.
please feel free to revert.
thanks
Alexander

I am probably one of the few people who was driven here by the chance to keep my laptop running in Ubuntu Linux (9.10) and still have access to some sort of accurate screenwriting tool. I have just today in fact received a very nice note from the folks at FinalDraft stating that Linux is likely never going to be in their future even though it seems like asimple matter as it actually installs seemingly correctly using Linux and WINE (latest as of this date) but, it will not accept the registration info which is prompting the few Linux users I know interested in screen writing to use alternate and rather poor methods (like Celtx) that simply are cludgy or only work occasionally correctly if at all. There are templates for OpenOffice but they aren;t perfect and have yet another learnign curve. All this brings me here.
The point of jumpint into this thread in the forums is that although I was able to manually install AIR using help from another link, and it did seemingly later update itself, I am unable to install the desktop version as the installer fails for me. It opens a new html doc and asks about installing Story, attempts a download and then after the download seems to complete, it fails.
My question is then, why not just toss a package out there we can access without going through all the installer and download manager hassles. Give me a link that works please and I will download it and install it myself.
As of now, I have inported and adjusted and tagged a short 12 page script ( I work in experimental narrative short films) but I must have internet access for this to work for me. This means I cannot fully test the application as I am unable to test it offline. This is due to downloading and I believe, updating issues.
There is a lot of talk in other areas about feature sets, font types for editing vs printing and other "tools". To be honest with you, I am happy to use it as it is right now with nothing else added or needed from my end. This is working for me on Linux and is my only option.
Thanks,
Sean
(PS, I'm willin got beta test for Ubuntu 9.10 Linux)
