MDM Workflow Expiry message
Hi Experts,
I have a scenario in which MDM workflow is active, workflow is working fine and there are absolutely no issues. The only problem is, For workflow owner, I am getting following message everyday (If workflow is not clear or executed).
The following workflow step is overdue because it has exceeded its expiration timeout:
Assignee: ; MDM System
Job: 10565
Job Owner: MDM System
Records: 1
Start time: 04/14/2011 00:22:19 GMT
Expiration time: 04/24/2011 00:22:19 GMT
Workflow: Workflow Name
Step: ABC
Description:
Repository: MDM Repository
May be some setting missing, I want to deactivale this workflow reminder. Can you please guide and help?
Regards,
Maddy
not sure on why you want to take the notifications out - for the sake of receiving harmless emails
u can direct them to the spam folder easily
but still if u wish
go to the workflow visio diagram -- find notify step -- and remove ur emai id from the settings.
thanks
-Adrivit
This will stop ALL email notifications pertaining to THIS workflow to ur id.

Workflow Error Message: System Account - The Workflow could not set Content Approval Status
This is the first time I try an approval workflow. I am using a template in MS Word and assigned an approval workflow to it. The approval workflow is only going to one person in this case.
When I start the work flow the following 3 error messages show up:
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The Workflow could not set Content Approval Status. Enable content moderation for this list and run the workflow again.
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the e-mail has a valid recipient.
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
Thank you for your kind guidance.Hi,
For the first error: Did you set Content Approval in the workflow? If so, see if you have it in the versioning settings of the list settings.
For the second error: double check your recipient is set up as being valid. Did you type in the email address or is it referring to a people picker field? also, make sure that in the workflow for the email that you actually populated it in the
To: field.
for the third error: I suspect that either your farm is not configured for email. Or, this error is a knock on from the second error. If you get the second error rectified it may clear this error. If not then double check the email settings
for your farm.

Max number of records in MDM workflow
Hi All
Need urgent recommendations.
We have a scenario where we need to launch a workflow upon import of records. The challenge is source file contains 80k records and its always a FULL load( on daily basis) in MDM. Do we have any limitation in MDM workflow for the max number of records? Will there be significant performance issues if we have a workflow with such huge number of records in MDM?
Please share your inputs.
Thanks-RaviHi Ravi,
Yes it can cause performance overhead and you will also have to optimise MDIS parametrs for this.
Regarding WF i think normally it is 100 records per WF.I think you can set a particular threshold for records after which the WF will autolaunch.
It is difficult to say what optimum number of records should be fed in Max Records per WF so I would suggest having a test run of including 100/1000 records per WF.Import Manager guide say there are several performance implications of importing records in a WF,so it is better to try for different ranges.
Thanks,

Hi All,
I am supposed to work on MDM workflow.
I have done a primary scenario of adding record.. when a record gets added, it will go through stages of approval through workflow.
Can you please suggest some more scenarios to be implemented using workflow?
Thank You,
Mugdha KulkarniBack again
Have a decision making workflow where some records are sent back and some forwarded.
Also consider workflow after workflow in sequence.
Also can consider validating data in workflow.
Just read email notification as well.
Hope this helps too and others will feed business scenarios,

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.
SrinivasHey -
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 Specific XI message types.XI Content BI Cont 3.53
Hi,
I am working on XI and BI integration with MDM.
Can you please tell me what all prerequisites do I need?
I have one document which has mentioned that I would need "MDM Specific XI message types.XI Content BI Cont 3.53".
Can you please elaborate me on this?
Please help me.Hi,
Once you have downloaded the business content as Michal said, you need to import it into your Integration repository. I believer the file that you downloaded will be a .zip file... Unzip if you will have a .tpz file.
You copy that file into your XI server under ..\repository_server\import. Then when you select the Import Design Option from your IR menu you will find the file that you placed there. Just select it and import into your IR.
Thanks,

Best Practice to transport MDM Workflows trough a 3-tier Landscape
Hello Experts,
I wanted to ask you for some Best practices to transport MDM Workflows from D-to Q/P?
Well besides the Archive/Unarchive method because we want to keep the Data of P in the repository
and do not want to import the whole.
Any ideas? Points are for sure!!
Best regards
CarstenHi Carsten,
Currently with the MDM 5.5 version the only transport mechanism that will allow you to export your Workflows from the development server to the Production or Quality is the Archieve/Unarchieve method.
but this methods archives the data as well along with the workflow.There is no such method to exort the workflow alone.
But with the onset of the MDM 7.1 there are new transport mechanism included and hopefully they address this issue.
A work around that i can think of at this moment:
- If you have your development server as your Master rep and the Production server as your slave
- Then you can call the workflow from the D to the P.If you do not have any data presntly in the dev.
- and then Normalize the Productions server to make it an individual master rep with its own data.
I am not sure how well this solution will help but just a suggestion....
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

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.Hi Yogita,
Here is a document for you.l It shows how to configure MDM & BPM. From within this there is information in regards to the Universal Worklist:

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
EvaHi 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
