Mass assignment of Task to User

Hi gurus,
In our project we have a requirement where user can select multiple tasks and assign all selected tasks to any oother user.
Please guide me on how to achieve it?
Thanks in advance,
Amit

hi Amit...
are u talking abt the DynPage or the WebDynPro...???

get the users' list in to a Dropdownlistbox...select the user ...assign ...
that is all...
hope i'm clear...and helpfull

BPM 11.1.1.5 Dynamic assignment of task to user

Hi,
I'm working with BPM 11.1.1.5 (without feature pack). I have a requirement to assign a task to a user dynamically, based on data that I pull from a DB query. If the task expires, I will assign it to another user once again based on a DB query.
I have not been able to find a way to do this. I have tried creating the Participant List "By Expression", where the expression is: /task:task/task:systemAttributes/task:assignees/task:id, where I have previously assigned a LDAP user id to a TaskExecutionData input variable. This does not work!
I've read a number of forum posts where people are trying to do this, but they are either not answered or answered inadequately.
I've read a number of posts where people talk about doing this using bpws:getVariableData() where the dynamic user list is stored in a variable. This would be great, if it worked for BPM as this is exactly what I'd like to do. However, this is a BPEL solution as far as I can see! I haven't been able to find a way to access a declared variable from the Expression Builder form in BPM.
Does anyone have a solution for this, please?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is this something that is easier to do in PS5?
Many thanks,
Brian.

Hi Brian,
Not sure if this is what you need, but to assign the BPM work item instance to a participant based on information read from a database table, one approach is to:
1. Read the table and return the userId to a process data object variable upstream of the Interactive activity.
2. Pass the variable with the user id into the Interactive activity's human task.
3. Open the human task, click the Assignment tab -> double click the performer icon in the center -> change the "Build a list of participants using" dropdown to "Names and Expressions" -> click the plus icon -> click "Add a User" -> under "Data Type" change the dropdown selection to "By Expression" -> click the "..." button under "Value" -> expand "task" -> expand "task:payload" -> select the variable that you set the user id to.
I think there is probably more to your question than this, but hopefully it's a start.

Assigning human task to a user not exist in the ldap - actionable task by email address

Hello experts,
we have a requirement to assign a task to an external user (not exist in the ldap) to perform some action by allowing the system to send an actionable email.
Internal user will capture the external-user name & emailaddress in the task form. System should use this information and assign the task to the user by sending an actionable email. Our requirement is, these external users should not have access to bpm workspace, so we can not store the user information within the system.
Currently I have tried assign the task to an internal user (users configured in weblogic) and system sends out an actionable email and able to set the outcome of the task by replying to the email.
How can the same be achieved, without the user being in our system? Is it possible? I am OK to create a temporary user before assigning the task, but will be there be any impact if I delete the user after the task has been completed?

AnilB,
Assigning a task to a user that is not in the directory will likely result in the BPM flow going into suspended state. To avoid this, assign the task to a pre-created group, you should not get an error even if the group is empty. You can then add and remove the users to that group to control access to the task.

Assigning a Task to a User in Worklisting

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in i need to assign the tasks to a user. The user is not created in the Weblogic LDAP but the users are present in our application rdbms (Oracle).

You have to configure additional authenticator and set the control flag appropriate to authenticate from either RDBMS authenticator or the default authenticator. Once you have done that you will be able to assign tasks to users from either user repositories.
There is a sample DBAuthenticator that you might want to look at here http://dev2dev.bea.com/codelibrary/code/sec_rdbms.jsp

Re-assign the Task User thru API

Hi all,
     I m creating a process for user' approval from email thru service 'completeTask'. I set a email endpoint to receive the approval email. it contains a Task Id which is used to complete the main task.
     I found that that task does not complete due to the error about the incorrect task-assigned user. So I want to re-assign a correct task-user by applying API.
     I have tried to use Interface TaskManager.reAssignTask() in API to do that, but it doesn't work.
anyone can give me some suggestion?
Any method which do will be welcome too.

Thanks for your attention, Jasmin.
the above problem about re-assign the task user is solved. it's due to my mistake that the User Name in Email Endpoint is set to a incorrect user.
However, I want to ask aother question. can I use SuperAdmin account in Email Endpoint to complete the task assigned to other user?
it is because when I sucessfully re-assign the task to SuperAdmin from User-A and completed this task by SuperAdmin, I found that there is no Complete History in User-A's Tracking in workspace due to the task approver is SuperAdmin.
Any method can do that will be welcomed.

Human Task : assign task to user at runtime based on some conditions

HI ,
I have a requirement that is, Assign task to users/ groups at runtime for approval based on material qty. please help me in design approach to achieve the same.
thanks in advance.
Guru

Hi Guru
You can achieve this with and without business rules. I am assuming you have a payload with element like "qty". In task details page or somehow, this gets filled. Now later on you can have like this:
1. Without Business Rules:
a) Lets assume you have human tasks like ApproverDefault, Approver100, Approver200, ApproverAll etc.
b) After your first Task, add a XOR Gateway. Default path of XOR goes to ApproverDefault. Then you have like 3 more paths with Conditions like qty between 0 and 100 goes to Approver100. Qty between 100 and 200 goes to Approver200. Qty more than 200 goes to ApproverAll.
Quantity
No conditions (Default) -> ApproverDefault
qty < 100 -> Approver100
qty > 100 and qty < 200 -> Approver200
qty > 300 -> ApproverAll.
2. With Business Rules
a) This needs some learning. Please do refer detailed online docs. I am just giving brief steps. Create extra fields of type Boolean in payload like AutoApproved, NeedApproval100, NeedApproval200, NeedApprovalAny etc. Have more meaningful names as per your requirement and human task though.
b) You need to drag and drop Business Rules component and edit it in JDeveloper.
c) First create a Bucket set with Range of Values for Qty field like -infinity to 0, 0 to 100, 100 to 200, 200 to infinity. You just enter rows like 0, 100, 200, and rest is taken care to add these Ranges.
d) Now create Decision Rules. For each range, create a action and set the flag(s) appropriately.
e) See hello world example for exact steps and full understanding.
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/obpm/11g/r1/firstProcess/firstprocess_obpm11g.htm
Pros & Cons:
a) Without Business Rules is very simple and straight forward. Quick and easy to develop and test. But if you want to control the range of values for qty, you need to modify the process and redeploy. Its kind of tight.
b) Business Rules gives more flexible. You can change qty at run time, provided you use BPM Composer. But takes some learing and needs some debug if it fails like that.
There are many differences and pros and cons. But above are the main ones.
If you are a beginner, go with First Approach for now.
Thanks

Assign task to user (via lookup) in SP Designer workflow

I would appreciate advice on the best way to assign tasks to specified users via a workflow.
For example, I would like to assign a task to the manager of each department, depending on various values checked in a workflow. The best solution I have come up with is to create a lookup table that includes two fields:
1. Department
2. User
The workflow would check for a match on Department, and then assign the task to the corresponding user.
Is this a reasonable solution, or does anyone have a better option?
Many Thanks

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to assign a task to the manager of each department via a workflow.
I have did a test with your method, it is reasonable.
Create a custom list named ‘custom’, create two columns, ‘department’ with the type of “Single line of text” and ‘manager’ with the type of “Person and Group”.
Create another custom list named ‘custom12’.
Create a Lookup column called ‘Department’, Get information from: ‘custom’, In this column: ‘department’.
The ‘manager’ column with the type of “Person and Group” can’t be lookup
Open your site with sharepoint designer, choose the ‘custom12’ to create an approval workflow.
Click those user->Workflow Lookup For a user->Data source: custom; Field from source: manager; Return field as: Display Name. Field: department; Value: Lookup for Single line of text. Please refer to the screenshot.
5. Publish the workflow.
Please don’t hesitate to let me know if there still exist some confuse.
Best Regards,

OIM 9: User assigned Provisioning Task can't see "Open Provisioning Tasks"

I have a user who is assigned a task through the Assignment tab, but when they log in, they don't see the "Open Tasks" menu. If I make them sys-admin, they can see it, so It has to be a permissions thing, but where exactly?
Any help would be appreacited!

You need to assign the following menu items "To-Do List Open Tasks menu item" to the group the user belong to.

How to assign a task to Reuestor in OIM 11g

How to assign a task to a requestor (who has raised a request for other user).
I created a Task assignment adapter and mapped variable in Process definition as
Map To: Request Info
Qualifier: Requester User Login
Still it returns null and default task is assigning to System adminstrator. I am pasting the Task Assignment code here. User key value coming as Null.
Do you have any idea what is the exact mapping required in Process definition.?? Pls note: I am using OIM version 11.1.1.5.0
public class TaskAssignmentToUserAdapter {
     Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("COM.IDM.PROV.COMMON.ADAPTERS");
     public String getTargetType(String targetType){
          return targetType;
     public String assignTaskToUser(String userKey,tcDataProvider dataProvider ){
          System.out.println("The user key value:" +userKey);
          return userKey;
     }

Not sure what sample code I can give you, but you need to do a query in your adapter like:
select REQUEST_KEY from OIU where ORC_KEY='?'
Here ORC_KEY should be mapped to the process instance key.
Once you have the Request key, you can use RequestServcie APIs to get the requester information. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/apirefs.1111/e17334/oracle/iam/request/api/RequestService.html#getBasicRequestData_java_lang_String_
Or if you don't care then get the requester key from the request table. Thus you can have the final query as:
select USR_LOGIN from USR where USR_KEY=(select REQUESTER_KEY from REQUEST where REQUEST_KEY = (select REQUEST_KEY from OIU where ORC_KEY='?'))

HOW CAN WE ASSIGN THREE TASK LIST TO THREE DIFF PRODUCTION ORDER

Respected All
we have one material which is used for three places FIRST IN MILL1, 2ND IN MILL2 AND THIRD IN TRIMMER MILL.
the only thing which differentiate this single material is the production order. we have 3 different production order but one single material. for this we have created 3task list. my problem is when we create batch and confirm it through co15, the lot reflects in QA32. but is not allowing for USAGE DECESION. For that we have to go to QA02, assign the task list and then again go to QA32 and do the usage decesion. is there any method by which we can assign three task list to three production orders so that qa02 step could be avoid.
pls reply
thanks
abhay

sir
thank you for the reply could you please tell me in which transaction we find this user exit.
thanks

Assigning a task based on an approval workflow

Hello,
Is there a way to create a workflow that includes the following steps without coding:
1. A user submits an IT service request.
2. The request is approved by a Supervisor.
3. The IT Manager assigns the request to a technician.
4. The technician completes the request and attaches the appropriate documentation to the request.
5. The IT Manager sends the completed work to the user.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Amatullah,
The following extention for the Workflow Activities available in SharePoint Designer will allow you to create one or more workfows that satisfy your requirements:
http://spdactivities.codeplex.com/
The worklfow would be configured to start when a new item is added to the list / library, which would assign an approval task (or collect approval status) from the approver (Supervisor).
After the manager assigns the request to a technician and the technician completes the request, the manager may want to confirm/close the request. this would allow the worklfow to continue and/or respond by sending the completed work to the user.
You can either "Collect data from a user" to obtain the "User" to assign the request, have the workflow "Wait for a field change" to obtain the assign to user, as well as other alternatives to get the Assign To details for each
step of the process. A separate field for each would probably be more suitable than re-assigning the task using the same "Assigned To" field each time, as the details each participant will be captured (not an issue if using the "Collect
data from a user" action, as the Assigned To information will be available in the task item created by the workflow).
The custom activities above allow you to do the following, which may assist with your solution:
Specify the sender of an email
Attach list items as email attachments
Without the custom activities, you could develop a similar solution, but you won't be able to attach list items (include links instead), or specify the sender. The approval and request delegation process can be achieved using OOB Workflow Activities
available in SharePoint Designer.

Creation of auto approval process for assigning role for a user in oim11g

currently i'm doing a scenario like a user must be automatically assigned to a role by using approval policy where the user is already there in oim and then we use csv file in that we take 2 columns like userlogin and role name so by running this scheduled task user must be automatically approved to that role.But i have to use the default auto approve policy in oim without creating any bpel process for that so can any one suggest me how to proceed with this scenario.
Thanks in Advance for quick response.

If I understand correctly, You have users and their respective roles in csv file. Users are present in OIM. You want to assign those roles in csv file to respective users?
If this is the scenario, you need to write a custom code for schedule task which will read data from your csv file, create roles and assign them to respective users.
to create custom schedule task in OIM 11g, you may refer to:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e14308/scheduler.htm

Best Practice for setting BPM Task Potential Users

Hello,
Can anyone help me with one doubt I have with BPM?
When I'm configuring the BPM Task I have to set the Potential Users, also I know it can be set through an expression. However, my doubt is the following,
If I set the potential user in the BPM Task, everytime the task change of responsible user I will have to go to NWDS change the BPM Task Potential User, Build and Deploy again the BPM? That's a lot of work.
Which is the best practive for doing this kind of maintenance?

you can assign the task to group.
so you only have to change at UME side, add or remove user to/from the group

WorfFlow Agent Assignment at Task Level...

Hi,
I have problem in Workflow agent assignment...
In agent assignment at Task (MM Invoices Parked/Posted) level, I have assigned a position(Account Payable)to AC Role...
Under this position, there are 8 users....
In the Workflow process,At this task level the work item is going to only one person inbox not all these 8 users...
Can you please advise me, where I was wrong...
Warm Regards,
Thirupathi....

Hi Thirupathi,
There are a couple of things you can try:
- Agent assignment gets buffered in HR, normally refreshed at midnight. Use txn SWU_OBUF to refresh them manually.
- Are all agents also possible agents of the task or is the task defined as a general task?
- (just adding the obvious) make sure your task is in status READY, else it would have been reserved by someone.
Cheers

Changing Assignment Details for multiple user

Hi everyone,
In the RelationShips tab of a bundle, how can we change the "Assignment Details" for multiple user at once? Per exemple, I have a bundle that have about 100 user assignments. The bundle show on Start Menu but no on the Nal. If we want all of our users to have this bundle on the Nal Windows, how can we instruct that easily and quickly, instead of selecting each user and changing the Assignment Details ?
thank you for your help !

I am also trying to update the shortcut locations on many apps for a mass amount of users. Mr. Pond, or dominicm, can you explain or give a example ZMAN command that would be able to do this? From the documentation I can find it only seems to affect the distribution and scheduling but not the shortcut location.
