Modify Transition element in work flow using for and not attributes to restrict access

Hi,
I have TFS 2013 for my premises and I am working on changing the work flow for TFS work item. I have created a work item as per requirement and it has 3 states
Active, In Review and Closed in work flow. When developer creates a work item it is in Active state and later it is sent to In Review and then to close after successful review.
My question is I want development team to be restricted to move the work item to Close state. At present when developer creates a new work item they see Active state. At this point they can not see any other states in the work item. Later they
fill the details and after checkin they will put that work item to In Review state. At this point they can see Active and In Review states. When they save this work item and modify it again they see Close state as well. I want to design the Transition element
in work flow in such a way then developers should not be able to see the Close state at all in a work item assigned to them. Only reviewer should be able to transit the work item from In Review to Close.
I checked the for and not attributes in the transition element but I have no idea about correct syntax I should use to enforce the restriction. I would also like to mention here that I have no separate groups defined in my TFS server. Every
one is a part of contributor's group. There is no specific group of reviewers and one developer reviews the code of another. I want to design the work flow in such a way that the developer who creates (or gets assigned) the work item should
not be able to put their own work item in Close state but they should be able to close another developer's work item if that work item has his name in the reviewer's box.
I have tried to simplify my question by elaborating it hope it is not complex to understand. Let me know if you want further clarification on this.
Regards, Premal Acharya

Hi Premal,
For your scenario, seems the "for" and "not" attributes not are unavailable to make it happens. Because of the developers not in groups, and the same type of work items can be assigned to all the developers hence the attributes cannot
be allow and deny users in the groups concurrently. Please check the
page for more information about transition xml element.
Based on your situation, you can separate the development group and test group. Then you can only allow test group to change the state.

  • Error in work flow wait for change event

    Error in work flow wait for change event of business object bus1014, Actually this business object is triggering for two transaction one is me21n and another is c201 . am trying to create fork with two branches one is create and another if change occurs wait will trigger, bt when i trigger work flow controll is not after fork, it will stop in fork only. and am not getting my workflow container variable getting instantiate, am getting error in wait. please any one get out of me in this

    Hi Sangeetha
    What is LV_MATERIAL? is it a BO container element? or a class element or a just a simple variable?
    Error message is clear, you are trying to evaluate LV_MATERIAL but it does not contain a value.
    This is a custom workflow as it begins with WS9xxxxxxx... what is LV_MATERIAL used for? what are we expecting it to hold? maybe, from event to workflow binding we can pass the value to it.
    Please share the following:
    1) Definition screen shot of LV_MATERIAL
    2) Screen shot of The step where it is first used - from SWDD
    3) Screenshot of Event to Workflow Binding
    4) name of your base Business Object (seen in the triggering events tab of the WF template in PFTC)
    5) What is the corresponding variable for that BO in your workflow container
    6) Screen shot of WF definition from SWDD - please identify the step going in error in that screen shot

  • Work Flow Software for Code

    Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for a software product that would help regulate programmign work flow. For example: if we have several programmers working on the same application, we want a)everyone to have the same version of the application and b)to make sure work flow of the code is, at least, somewhat regulated.
    Thanks in advance

  • Work Flow & Procedure For Transportation Module Of SD

    Dear All,
    Currently, we have just got SD implemented. Now, we shall like to go for the Transportaion Module i.e. Order Booking, delivery and the PGI followed by Auto Invoicing. Now, we wants to go for Transportation Module  i.e. Shipment Creation, Shipment cost calculation , Service Order Creation etc. As we are quite new to this. So, we shall like to know the complete work flow & the procedure  for implementing the same. i.e. in what sequence the various transactions to be used for Master / Transaction.
    Please advise further.
    With Best Regards,
    Sanjeev Chugh

    Thanks for the reply. Definitely, i can share the details to the best of my knowledge about the transportation module.
    This module is basically meant for controlling purpose. Our main objective is to control the Transportaion Charges. Vendor Invoice must be cross verified from the sytem as well.
    Our Current Business Process : As per business process, we are having fixed rates per transporter for the type of vehicle and the source - destination combination. So, whenever, we are stock transferring the material from our mfg. plants to various depots, we are using various transporters (some one are specialised for south, some are spl. for east, so on and so forth). On the receipt of the material, receiver i.e. the destination branch , confirms the material receipt.. MIGO / MIRO etc. . We wants to capture the cost of the shipment as per the system and then on the receipt of the bill from transporter, the same must be cross verified.
    On going thru various documents from Web, I could gather the following details :
    1. After making deliveries, we have to make a shipment document. In our case, max. time it shall be an individual Shipment i.e. Tcode VT01N. Other type of shipment be Collective Shipment, which we use very less no. of times.
    2.  We have to prepare Shipment Cost document by using Tcode VI01
    3. We have to create a service Purchase Order By using ME21N.
    In our business scenario, we shall not be using legs concept as our shipments generally used to be from point to point basis.
    Sir, logically, i know our needs.. But getting stuck at a couple of points ... Like where to define various rates per transporter..That's why, i named the subject as the Work  Flow & Procedure for Tpt.Module.
    I shall like to request you to kindly advise further in this regard or kindly let me know if some study material is available from where i can comes to know about the exact work flow of the Transportation Module As Such.
    From Where I Can Get Help on Any Tcode Usage i.e How to use a Tcode and what be its basic functionality.

  • WORK FLOW & PROCEDURE FOR FOR SNP CAPACITY LEVELLING HEURISTICS RUN

    Dear Sir / Madam,
    Currently, we are  taking  only SNP Heuristics Run  and the output viz. planned stock transfer requisitions are being passed to PPDS as such. But now we feel, SNP capacity leveling can play a vital role in getting more fine tuned results from PPDS. So, We wants to start using the SNP Capacity leveling run. We shall like to know the work flow / procedure for taking the SNP capacity level run i.e. what inputs should be properly reviewed before taking the SNP capacity level run and what shall  be its output..? Kindly let us know the procedure / work flow for taking the SNP Capacity Levelling Run.
    Your early reply in this regard shall be really appreciable.
    Thanks & Best Regards,

    Hi Sanjeev,
    as in any other module, correct master will play a key role in getting effective results in capacity levelling. you will need to check the following master data while setting the system for capacity levelling :
    Consistency in BOM in R/3 and PPM/PDS
    Consistency in Routing in R/3 and PPM/PDS - the actual through put on the shop floor should be the same as that in the routing and in the PPM/PDS. unless this is in sync, no amount of levelling can return good results.
    Maintenance of shift - again as present in the shop floor.
    you can provide the dump of the above master data and ask the shop floor engineers to validate the data as it exists in the ssytem. you can do the consistency check between R/3 and APO yourself using queries. Once they have validated this master data and the the actual master data reflects in your system, i think, the job is more than 50 % complete.
    also you need to check the lot sizes, rounding profiles, and period factor, becasue all three combined play a major role in giving good or better results after levelling.
    you may also check at what level you want to run the levelling. whther the bottleneck is at the finished component level, or 2nd level, etc. you may check whther you have discrete manufacuring or REM and if you really want to levelling on REM order.
    then you need to analyse, what is the lengh of horizon you want to run the capacity leveling on. sometimes it makes no sense to run on the entire horizon because if capcities are already overlaoded, you will not achieve the desired results.
    hence depending upon the level of your understanding and comfort of the planner (who will be using this result), the horizon can be increased grdually.
    if you are starting to implemement capcity levelling, you can sumulate runs and show the results to the planner and check if the standard capacity heursitics satisfies their requirement. else you can go for custom requirement.
    you will also have to decide on the stratagies, priorities,etc based on the business requirement.
    i think the above should give some starting direction to implement capcaity levelling in your system.
    award points if you find this useful.

  • Trigger informatica work flow using process chain

    Hi,
    tell me how to trigger the informatica work flow using the process chains.
    Please tell me the steps.
    Babu

    Currently, we have a custom trigger file on the BW system.  We have a workflow in Informatica that loops periodically and checks the data in this table.  When the file changes, the workflow in Informatica then continues. 
    However, I think a better solution is to use a <i>pmcmd</i> and set up a batch file that runs a command that will schedule your workflow.  You can then put this batch file on the BW server and call it from the process chain (use process OS command).
    The command will look something like this:
    <b>pmcmd scheduleworkflow -s</b> (server)<b> -u</b> (user) <b>-p</b> (password) <b>-f</b> (workflow)
    See Chapter 23 in your Informatica Help on using <i>pmcmd</i>.

    If it works in Windows Safe mode then you have a problem with other software, possibly security software or a system driver, that is running on your computer.<br />
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Photoshop CC. Colour selection not working when using alt and brush.

    Hi, Photoshop CC. Windows 8.1 64 bit. Colour selection not working when using alt and brush. I have tried rebooting and other things like closing swatch panel etc.
    The alt key is otherwise OK.  It's not the recent upgrade from Win 8 to 8.1 (5 days ago) because the colour selection facility was working yesterday. Any ideas.

    I'd say things sound desperate enough to try resetting Preferences
    Reset Preferences
    Windows — Hold down Shift Ctrl Alt immediately after starting Photoshop
    Mac — Hold down Shift Cmd Opt immediately after starting Photoshop
    If that fails, we need to know your operating system?
    Do you have a full CC subscription, or by apps do you mean Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom?
    Another other information that might pertain ?

  • Outlook 2011 works on 1 network and not on the other

    Hello guys,
    I just purchased a Macbook Air and MS Office 2011 for Mac. I setup the computer while I was at work (using a wireless network) and was able to get all my emails in perfect order.
    However, once I got home (on my home wireless network) when I hit Send/Receive, I get the "Authentication Failed Error 17900" message.
    I must add that I have 5 different accounts setup, 4 are my personal domains and one is Gmail. Gmail works fine on outlook both from my office and home.
    I tried changing many settings in Outlook, but nothing seems to work. I'm not really good with these things, but my logic tells me that if everything works in the office and not at home, it must have something to do with my router at home! Could this be the case? Can anyone help me please? My office is an hour away and I hate to go there just to check or send emails.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Is there a way to do a spelling quiz in captivate using images and not questions as reference.

    Is there a way to do a spelling quiz in captivate using images and not questions as reference. Specifically i want have blank lines underneath an image, where the user looks at the image and types the correct letters to fill in the blank. For example a picture of a dog, with this _ _ _ underneath for the user to fill in, or in some cases perhaps having them fill in the vowel like so "d_g".I must have audio with this , as the students will be able to listen to the audio sound out the word phonetially to help them be able to type it!
