Miscellaneous tab in User Decision step type ?

Hi,
How miscellaneous tab would be useful and in what case(scenario) we would be going for that..
Also it would be helpful how it could be used.
Thanks
Ganesh

Hi Ganesh,
The link is refering to your Tab. You are probably on a higher release than WAS6.20 which the help is for.
As Anuj mentioned this tab is for all the tasks the same. About what part of the tab do you have questions? I think the text in the tab is pretty self explanatory.

User Decision step type

Hi,
I have developed a WF for 'Notification of Absence'. In this, a leave request is sent for approval.
When the leave request is Rejected, the creator has to make a decision (User Decision step type used) as to 'Withdraw' or 'Update' the request. But in the inbox of the creator, there is no option for "Withdraw' and 'Update'. What could be the reason for this? Am i missing something?
Thank you for your time.
Ajay

Hi AD,
are you trying to process anything else after the Decision Step in your WF definition ?
If yes, then what are you trying to process after it
If no, then try what JMB said, GUI problem, I doubt that but you can try as you need to resolve it.
Did you try removing the buffer ?
Hope it helps.

Need 2 Multiline elements for user decision step

We are on SAP R/3 Enterprise version.
I have this requirement to find agents based on the agent type and work center field. So I created a responsibility rule for each type of agent type. The responsibility rule is keyed on the work center, and HR positions are mapped to each responsibility rules work center field.
We have 50 agent types/responsibility rules, 60 work centers, and 1 or more positions for each agent type and work center combinations. Due to the total number of positions, I prefer to use 1 responsibility rule per agent type for ease of maintenance.
I have a FM that reads the responsibility rule based on the agent type and work center field and retrieve the agent_list. I used this FM/method/step prior to my user decision step and pass the agent_list to the UD step via container.
In my user decision step, the Other tab does not have Multiline element for me to enter my agent_list. So I cannot use &agent_list[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]& in my user decision agent assignment expression field.
In my last job, we have SAP ECC 5.0, the UD step has a Misc tab that has Multiline element, but our current SAP R/3 Enterprise version does not have Misc tab, it only has Other tab.
Question:
1. How do I use [&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&] without Multiline element for agent_list in UD step?
2. I have to use the same way to retrieve my LED_agent_list as well, so I need 2 Multiline elements in my UD step. But normally in Other tab, it allows you to define only 1 Multiline element. How do I get around this restriction?
3. My last resort is to use 1 responsibility rule, then I can use the rule in the agent assignment. If that is the case, is there any limit on the number of entries in the rule?
Thanks.
Amy

Sorry, I posted to the wrong forum.

User decision step prob

Hi,
In my workflow user decision step have 2 approvers.
if one of the approver opening the work item ,remaining approvers relevent work item(User decision) deleted from sap inbox.
i want to keep all approvers work items alive upto getting decision from any one.
Please suggest me in this
Thanks and Regards,
Ragavendran K.

Hi,
It is possible by doing the following
create a multiline element for the approvers.
you use this element in a simple subflow where you pass on the mutliine element in the Miscellaneous tab.
Now for every record in the container 1 workflow is started.
Your workflow should have a fork 1:2
in one branche the user decision and after the user decision a create event step.
And in the other branch a wait for event step.
Now only when a UD is executed an event gets triggered,m which should terminate all of the workflows.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

URL in user decision step

Dear Experts,
I am using ecc4.7 version system. I have a user decision step. I want to display an url in objects and attachments section of user decision step. Ofcourse I found many similar threads from SDN. But they are not helping me with the solution. Please tell me how to achieve the same.
KR,
Bharath
Edited by: bharath padmanabhan on Dec 21, 2009 9:08 PM

Hi Bharath,
Have you displayed the URL in Attachmnt & Object of UD step?. If not try this,
If we need to display something, say URL in Attachmnet & object of UD step, we need to have a BO (instantiated) and the default method of the BO (mentioned in Basic data of SWO1) will be executed, if we click the URL in Attachment & Object.
I am not sure, whether you have any ZBO or not, if not create a ZBO and create a key field, this key field needs to hold the URL link. Then create a method, inside the method, call the FM- "CALL_BROWSER" by passing the Exporting para of FM (URL) as object-key-<key field>. Also in the basic data tab of the SWO1, give this Zmethod name in default section tab.
Now copy the std task of UD step and create a task container as same type of ZBO and create a WKF container as same as ZBO and instantiate this ZBO. And do the binding in the UD step,
<WKF container of ZBO> -> <Task container of ZBO>
Make sure before this binding, the WKF container of ZBO needs to be instantiated with the corresponding URL as key field. Now execute the WKF, you will find the Link in Attachmnet & Object and after clicking the link, it will direct to you the corresponding place. Let me know for any issues.

Looping a single branch in User Decision Step

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me is looping possible for a single branch in user decision step in a workflow?
If yes, How?
I want like to loop the step cancel and keep workitem inbox.
Whenever the user clicks cancel and keep workitem in inbox in a user decision and again executes the WI i would like the workflow to start execution from the step just above the user decision step, i.e; Display PR.
This is my requirement. Tell me how can i implement it?
Thanks,
Raj

Hi,
instead of doing so, you could try to enter that method as "secondary method" or "before method" within the tab-strip "Methods".
If you used your own coding for a decision, you could enable the exception 8015 of the method's result, which is the cancel-button. If you did so, you can enable that outcome in the workflow-activity's definition.
Best wishes,
Florin

User Decision step- Upon reject, auto-popup text for reason

In a user decision step, when the user clicks the reject button, open text for rejection reason within the workitem.
i have done the following
1) Create a new step
2) Create a task based on SOFM.CREATE
3) Binded WIOBJECT_ID => (append table) ADHOCOBJECTS
It works fine, when the user clicks the reject button a new work item with the reason for rejection lands in the user inbox, which when clicked brings up the doc.
I want to make it seamless for the user where as soon as the reject button is clicked, the document <b>should open right away</b> without a new work item in the inbox
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Hi
If you are using the portal/UWL then search the blogs for a solution otherwise give this a try, in your step definition for the 2 steps, go to the Details tab and tick 'Advance with dialog', this will work if you execute from the business workplace.
Good Luck!

User decision step agent issue

Hi All
In my WF I get a user profile back from a method that check a ZTABLE for the correct user to receive mail and a user decision work item .
The mail step is working correctly and sending mail to the user (as per the parameter returned from the method)
The problem is that user decision step does not sent a workitem to the correct user .
Any ideas on what the problem might be ?
In the email step I bind to &ADDRESSSTRINGS&.Not sure what the correct binding is for the user decision step?
Many thks
Gerhard

Click workflow log (use any of the log transactions, swi1, swi2_freq swi6 etc)
click list with technical details, shift+F9
find the step, click on it and tick the tab container.
But if you could just answer my previous question about how you are sending the mail, because if you directly use email address then it is of course impossible to use that as agent assignment for the user decision.
A user decision is ultimately sent to a user id
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Cancel and keep workitem in ready state in user decision step

Hi,
In a user decision step,there is a default option 'Cancel and keep the work item'.
Now clicking on this option, the workitem goes into "Inprogress state"
whereas i want to keep the workitem in "ready state" after i click on the option 'Cancel and keep the work item'.
I am trying to modify the Process method of Decision Object type to incorporate this funcationality by using FM "SAP_WAPI_PUT_BACK_WORKITEM.
but im getting the error that this FM cannot be used at runtime.
Place where im trying to call this FM:
After the FM'SWU_PROCESS_MANUEL_DECISION'
I am getting the value of RESULT.
If result is SPACE or sy-subrc is not 00 then i am calling this Fm which takes Wi_id of the userdecision as input.
Kindly help
Regards

Hi,
Let me ask you this. Why you need to have this in "Ready" state, Not in "IN PROCESS" state. Anyway, the witem is still there in the user's inbox, and if you have any deadline monitoring, then this is also taken care with "Cancel and keep xxxx". So, i think, functionally you'll still be better with the existing functionality.
And, with all this, if you are still trying to change, then i think it's NOT possible. If i understand correctly, you are trying to use the FM "SAP_WAPI_PUT_BACK_WORKITEM" within the PROCESS method. And, if you understood the functionality of how this works, you are trying to set the status of the SAME witem for which you are executing the PROCESS method.
THe way i understand the behind-the-scenes process, once you make a decision and save, this method is the one which in turn sets the witem status. And within that, you CANNOT capture the status as it is yet to be posted to the Witem tables.
Probably, after this decision step, use a different background task with the above FM to set the witem status to "Ready", BUT NOT IN THE SAME METHOD of PROCESS.
Also, it's not advisable to change this std. method.
Hope this helps you. Reply,if you need more info.

Enter message in User Decision Step

Hi,
I am developing a workflow, I have a requirement wherein before the user takes decision and clicks on the buttons say 'yes' or 'no' , he should be able to enter a message, is there any standard object type or method which opens up a dialog box for this??
Thanks in advance

Hello Divya !
       I suggest to design workflow such that the user enters message after taking the decision either "yes" or "no".
       Any way, if you want to design the workflow such that the user should be able to enter the message before taking decision, create a method in your business object.In the method, call the function module CATSXT_SIMPLE_TEXT_EDITOR.Inscribe this method in a task step.As per your requirement, this task step should be maintained before the user decision step.
        If the user should enter message after taking the decision, maintain this task after the user decision step.

S.Suresh

Terminate loop in user decision step

Dear Experts,
I have a user decision step in my workflow; which has two buttons e.g; approve and reject buttons. this step is in the loop. I want to terminate the loop when user click on Approve button. How I should capture the ID of approve button. OR there is some other idea to terminate the loop; as I don't have any other condition to stop the loop.
Regards,
Sohail

Hi Sohail,
Create one workflow container (e.g. APPR_FLAG) of type CHAR1. Then just after APPROVE branch of user decision step create one 'container operation' step and set the APPR_FLAG to X. finally in you loop end condition put terminating condition as APPR_FLAG = X. So this your loop will terminate once qgent clicks on APPTOVE button.
