Is it possible to take a report after matching (transformation, startegy) in data manager. In word or excel..... If Yes do send me the details.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Suresh,
I really want to confirm few things from your questions....
First of all when you dont install the workflow component install files in your system, while you access the current tables from the Datamanager the Workflow table will be <b>disabled</b>, as well as <b>you wont see any status modes</b> under the workflow tab... but if you are not able to access workflow tab itself seems to be product version issue, please let me know which version you are in???
thanks
Alexander

MDM Workflows and UWL in CE 7.11

Hello,
I am working with MDM Workflows and UWL in CE 7.11.
For configuring the UWL, we need to set some property of MDM Result Set iView to
connect and display MDM workflows for an MDM repository in EP 7.0.
But in CE 7.11 the concept of Result Set iView is replaced by ResultSet component which we use as a used component in the custom wrapper (DC).
How to use ResultSet component to configure UWL in CE 7.11 ?
Thanks in Advance..

MDM workflows and UWL

Hello,
We have recently upgraded ourselves to MDM 5.5 SP4 Patch pack 4. This patch pack was intended to solve an earlier problem we faced when integrating Universal Worklist (UWL) with MDM.
Earlier the UWL would return error in case the MDM workflows had worklfow jobs which the user had to not "Accepted". If the user "Accepts" it using MDM Data Manager, then the record would appear on the UWL.
I wish to know how we can configure the "Accept" button on the UWL, so that the user sees all the "Available" workflows and can "Accept" the workflow job which he plans to work upon.
Thanks in advance,
PKS.

MDM Workflow and LDAP

Hi Junta,
We are on MDM 5.5 SP5 Patch2. Our MDM server is connected to LDAP for Authentication and Role to User assignment is stored in LDAP.
Problem 1. Check in/ Chek out is not working in the repository. I think this is a known problem and rectified in SP6. Correct me if I am wrong.
Problem2. I have created workflow. I am trying to assign a role to one of the step. This workflow checks out the record and pushes it to steps. When I trigger the workflow on a record, this gives me error saying that, a preluanched job could not be initiated. Is this because of the problem 1.
How does workflow resolves the users from the role to send the tasks to? Does it talk to LDAP and finds the assignments? Or it expects the assignments to be local on MDM repository.
After LDAP connection and restart of the MDM server, I lost all my users in the assignment list when I try to assign the user to the step instead of role. Any comments / solution.
Thanks,
Amber

Hi,
I think your issue is item visibility in Search UI. What can you see in search UI? Can you see Category and Supplier?
If approval is not required, you do not need to create any workflow.
I have done 3 customer projects but none of them use item approval because items are validated by Excel Macro when they get data from supplier.

MDM workflows and MS VISIO

Hi All,
1. I have just installed MS Viso 2003 standard.I am on MDM 7.1 SP00
when i click on the workflow(in Data Manager)... it opens a visio screen..... looks like the installation is fine & linked.
I design some workflow, But I am able to see only two users(owner and launcher) in fields "Assign Users", "CC".
..... means in available uses/selected users, I can see only these two users, though there are other users(approver, data steward etc) created in CONSOLE.
....... why I am not able to see any other users?? ........ any thoughts, where things went wrong ?
2. Also, I need to design a workflow where a new record has to be created and has to be sent to 3 users(user1, user2, user3) simultaniously and they will do the respective changes pertaning to their specifc areas(fields) and then has to be passed on to a single data reviewer.
Can you pls help me with the steps with the design...... espically passing to the simultanious users and getting updated and passed on to the reviewer...
...... waiting for ur reply
regards,
venu

Sudhanshu,
A. this is the scnrio I need to design.
1. A record gets created.. and workflow starts
2. should be sent to 3 users simultaniously(user1, user2, user3)
ex. if user1 only enters some genral data, user2 enters tax related data, etc...
4. 3 approvers need to be assigned now for the respertive users(having different role).
approver1 checks for general data, approver2 for tax data, approver3...
5. If any of them gets disapproved .... should go to the concerned user.
6. If all the 3 approvers approve, should to sent to the final approver.
1. created
2. i have assigned process step and sent it to 3 users.
but how to go with the rest scnrio steps.......
B. Also my notify step is not sending emails, I have provided the IP address, and disabled the LDAP in the .ini file, i provided a
valid email address for the wf owner........ do you think anywhere I missed out.
How do I know if I have provided the correct IP address..........any way to verify?
rgds,
venu

MDM Workflow Launch Problem version SAP MDM 7.1.2.59

Hi All,
I have installed SAP MDM 7.1.2.59 on SUSE Linux Server 64-bit m/c. And installed all Clients on Windows XP.
MS-Visio is also installed on my windows Box.
But when i open data manager i am seeing the workflow icon disabled. Also not able to add a workflow.
Any one knows what is the reason for this?
Please let me know if i need to add any specific patch at Server side.
Srinivas

Hey -
Checkout your visio setting
In MDM Data Manager, make sure the Workflows table is the current table. In the Records pane, select any workflow record.
In the Record Detail tab, then double-click on the Workflow property to open Microsoft Visio. Choose Tools > Options from the Visio main menu.Choose File Paths to open the File Paths dialog. In the File Paths dialog, set both Add-Ons and Start-Up to the folder where the Worklfow.vsl file is installed (the Data Manager installation folder, by default). Click OK to close the File Paths dialog.

MDM Workflow - Email log

Hi there,
I'm playing around with the email functionality of MDM Workflow and got a question. My workflow runs fine, but my emails are not being received.
What I was looking for was a place to start the investigation : I would expect that at least some errors are written into some logfiles. Anybody knows if there are logfiles for this type of errors ?
Thx,
Dirk

Hi Dirk,
Doing setting in mds.ini is not sufficient. It is required that MDM server should talk to mail server. In order to setup this, you need to make them talk each other and this is the way it can be done.
You need to define ip address and name of the mail server in one of the windos setup file. What I have done to resolve this problem is as follows:
locate the file hosts (WINNT -> system32 -> drivers -> etc -> hosts. You need to open in notepad).
Read the instructions mentioned in the file as
This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one space.
With this entry, we are linking mail server with application.
This has resolved my problem. Thanks to my colleague Chintamani for probing into mail server further.
Secondly, it is not necessary that the notification can come only from the owner, it depends on at what stage notification is setup. Action owner can send notification as we configure the same during notification setup.

Report for outstanding workflows and the agents responsible

I need a report that shows all leave request workflows , with userid who created them and approver (agent), and approver's org unit and personnel number.
is there a standard SAP report that can show that? or I need to develop one?
I was looking at the SWI2_FREQ, this report shows the leave request workflows and userid who created them, but it does not report on the agent.
Regards,
Tiberiu

Hi
I think by making use of SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECTS you can get all the workitems who created the leave wokritems.

Siebel & "BIP Report Generation" Workflow and Bookmark Syntax

IHAC that wants to schedule the generation of a BIP report to run every weeknight and include a list of activities for the next day. We've utilized an OOTB IO and can successfully render the report using Sample XML in MS Word. Additionally, since they are only on 8.1.1, they do not currently have access to the latest scheduling capabilities. Therefore, we're trying to implement a repeating component to call a workflow to generate the report using the 'BIP Report Generation' workflow and the associated objects (from support posting 823360.1).
Now to the questions:
One of the parameters for the workflow is a 'Bookmark'. This parameter does not appear to handle various 'Siebel' querying functions like 'Today()' as part of the criteria. Can someone confirm this statement?
Currently, I can imagine one high-level possible workarounds. This would entail a revised WF and that includes a prior step to generate the 'Bookmark' by retrieving a string representation of tomorrow's date and concatenating it with the rest of the criteria.
Next question:
Does anyone have any other possible alternatives? Maybe a calculated field in the BC/IC for 'Today() + 1' - but this could have performance implications.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Suggestions/comments?
Bump.

MDM Workflow - Split jobs for Adds and Updates

I am trying to set up a workflow where the inbound file contains Adds and Updates. I want the Adds to get added to a new workflow and the updated records to split off into a separate workflow branch where they will be automatically processed.
Any ideas on how to split these records?
Regards,
Brent

Have a Status field in the data model. This status field will have "Add" or "Change" as the possible values.
When record gets added, you set this flag to "Add".
When record gets changed, you set this flag to "Change".
Have a validation step. for Record = Add.
If the validation passes, then it is a "Add scenario". Use the branch step for the validation success branch and the validation failure branch.
You should now have two branches one for add and the other for change.

NO, NO, NO!!!!
Please do NOT access tables directly unless you know what you're doing because these change - that one is one example of a table that has changed over the versions. SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECT will give you the same info in a manner that is supported by SAP.
Next, before developing a report, are you aware of the standard functions? Most sites I've worked on users are happy to look at the log from within the PO using the object services button. Alternatively there's tx SWI6 - the only ugly thing is that you'll need to teach folk to put in BUS2012, but that can also be worked around.

Mdm workflow through sap r/3

hello experts
I have a scenario to trigger a workflow in SAP R/3 from MDM
Objects need to be created in SAP for this
I found this in a pdf file
"A pre-requisite for connecting SAP Business Workflow to MDM is to build a BOR Object which represents the products in MDM. But how does this BOR Object really communicate with MDM?
Using MDM ABAP API Creating an ABAP code which communicates with MDM via MDM ABAP API (available as of MDM 5.5 SP3). Using the ABAP API directly from the Workflow environment simplifies integration between SAP Business Workflow and MDM, but makes integration to other systems more difficult as ABAP is not the greatest environment with regards to openness."
How do I go about it ? Where is this API and how do I use it ?
