Moving "in process" workflows to another client

Hi all.
I have a custom workflow that asks a few people for some confirmations, it has an "spaghetti" logic. My problem is that I need to move it to a new client, so the new workflows are not a problem but the instances of the workflow with "in process" status (currently running on the system and waiting for some events or confirmations for example)can not be moved as they are.
Have I to re-launch these work items in the new client? is there any other easier solution? There are a lot of these workflows (at least 4000) and launching and processing them manually, to leave them on the same situation that they were on the other client is a tedious work.
How can I do that easily?
Thanks

Hi.
Well, in fact, the new client is a copy of another and the background data for the workflow process is already copied. I just need to re-start the workflows but I was wondering if I can do anything easier than do it manually and one by one. Maybe a migration tool to copy "in process" workflows.
Another option is to redefine sub-WF and try to put every WF in his former situation, but the logic of the original WF is very complex so this is not an option.
I know that is very difficult to do that but...who knows!
Thanks for your interest.

In Process Workflow Issue after Client Copy

Hi
We have made a client copy on our training system and wish to process workflow that were created on the original client. Currently, of course, all the workflow instances have the original client. Is there a way we can change this to the new client?
Regards
Ian

Looks like there is something the basis boys ran to update these instances (and any other non workflow related thinks). It is all part of the client copy process apparently.

Resolve Process Workflows

Hi All,
I've just implemented an activeSync resolve process that notifies helpdesk staff that there has been an identity collision, and includes some information about the incoming data and the clashing identities. For the time being this is adequate.
Still, Identity Manager has a tonne of power and I know that I'm not using it. What are the things that you all would normally implement to handle identity clashes during activeSync processing? Is there any sample code out there that I can look at for ideas?

Migrating in-process workflows

Hi all,
New to BPM. May be using 10g or 11g (possibly depending on the answer to this question). If I'm migrating workflows from another system, and a document is currently halfway through the workflow, how easy is it to take across that document and put it in a BPM workflow at the equivalent point in the process? Is it even possible?
Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions!

How to transfer file from one client to another client?

hello,
i have some questions and hope you all can help me..thanks a lot first..
Here are the questions:
i) How can i send a file from one client to another client using RMI?
ii) Does the client(sender) need to send the file to server, then server save it and then send it to another client(receiver)?
iii) If using RMI, a client can receive two files from same client(sender) or different client(sender) at a same time? how to do it? when both of the files come in from same port, how to differenciate them?
iv) For your information, i am doing the File Transfer Server-client application which sender can send any file to other client. Can you give me any ideas? thanks..
Last, thanks again..

Your questions reflect some ambiguity in terms.
"Client" and "server" are commonly used in two different senses:
1. Technical sense: A client process makes requests, and a server process fulfills the request (provides a service).
2. IT sense: A client computer (process) makes requests of a server (computer) process, and the server (computer) processes the request.
In the first case, any computer might be a client, or a server, or both, depending on the processes being executed. In the second case, the computers are assigned some role.
So: If you wanted to, you could implement client/server processes communicating between two peer computers, using RMI.
This may not be what you wanted; if you really want to distinguish client and server computers, then the answer is that yes, you will probably put files into intermediate storage on the server computer.
Finally, you probably do not have to worry about port conflicts if you use RMI; while the initial client server contact is established through a registry operating on a standard port, the actual RMI communications is established using random ports, one for each link.

Is moving all active ports to another VSAN disruptive?..

Hi! I moved all active ports to another VSAN and this caused a server to failure. I know that this can be because of the small time-out values at the operating system or bad multipathing, but how large a time-out can be in a such reconfiguration?.. What if the server can't survive any storage loss and we move server and storage array ports to another VSAN? I wonder if it can be done without any traffic interruption...

Hi Artem,
Changing server from VSAN is a disruptive process for each path you're acting on: that means if you're not having dual fabrics and proper multipathing configuration, the server will lose access to its LUN for a certain amount of time. Depending on the operating system you might expect various behaviors (kernel panic, SCSI errors, CPU in I/O wait until timeouts,...). Consider it even more restrictive when booting on SAN or when swap memory is also on a SAN LUN.
It's always good practice to work one one fabric at a time by disabling the path attached to it from the OS perspective (if multipath software is not set in a failover mode).
Changing VSAN membership for a FC port on the MDS9000 means that the initiator HBA has to log (FLOGI) into a new VSAN where the DomainID is different from previous VSAN, so its FCID will change also. It is same effect as moving fibers to another physical SAN from the host perspective.

Office 365 Streaming Notifications, "One or more subscriptions in the request reside on another Client Access server."

Hello all,
I am maintaining a part of our product that requires monitoring mailboxes for events. This is currently being done by using streaming connections for getting the notifications. Our solution has been successful for situations with smaller numbers
of mailboxes, ~200 or less. However we are seeing some issues when scaling up to say, 5000 mailboxes.
The error and the sequence leading up to it are as follows:
Make an Exchange Service Account.
exchSvc.ConnectionGroupName = someGroupName;
add to the httpheaders ("X-AnchorMailbox", userSmtp) and ("X-PreferServerAffinity", "true");
create a new impersonated UserId for the userSmtp address that is our anchor mailbox.
set the Exchange Service account ImpersonatedUserID to the one we just made.
ExchangeServiceAccount.SubscribeToStreamingNotifications(new FolderId[] { WellKnownFolderName.Inbox }, _mailEvents);
to this point everything was successful, saw no error messages.
we create a second impersonated UserID for a different mailbox, and repeat the process above from that step forward. Upon the final step, subscribing to the streaming notifications we get the error:
Exception: Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ServiceResponseException: One or more subscriptions in the request reside on another Client Access server. GetStreamingEvents won't proxy in the event of a batch request.
This is only the second subscription that we are trying to add to this connection, and it is to a different mailbox than the first.
Can anyone please help point me to where this is going wrong?

>> Is there a good way to verify the number of subscriptions in a group?
Not that I know of you should be tracking this in your code there are no server side operations in EWS to even tell you if there are active subscriptions on a mailbox.
>>The error I am getting is on the second subscription in a new group, just after doing the anchor mailbox so I don't think we are hitting the 200 limit.
It's hard to say without seeing your code but it sounds like there is problem with your grouping code. One way to validate this is that with every request you make with the EWS managed API there is a
RequestId header http://blogs.msdn.com/b/exchangedev/archive/2012/06/18/exchange-web-services-managed-api-1-2-1-now-released.aspx
you should be able to give that RequestId to the Office365 support people and they should be able to check the EWS Log on the server and tell you more about what's happening (it maybe server side bug). Something doesn't quite add up in that the X-BackEndOverrideCookie
is what ultimately determines what server the request ends up at and the error is essentially telling you its ending up at the wrong server (have you looked at the headers on the error message?). Is it always one group of users that fails have
you tried different groups and different combinations etc.

GL Master data : Move GL from one Client to another Client

have created an one Transport Request for creation of Financial Organization structure in Customizing SAP Client 200 and then i have Manually imported that TR in another SAP Client Master data Client System 050 for GL Master data Language Translation FSP0 or FST2. so, in client 050 i have updated translation for all the GL Accounts roughly 5000 GL Accounts. After that, all GL Accoounts i have sent to Client 200 from Client 050 by using Transaction code - BD18, i have imported all the GL Account along with its Translation in another client of SAP System client 200 in order to move all the Changes along with in the same TR.
but when i am releasing the TR Transport Request from Cusomizing client 200 to unit testing client 300 , changes related to translaton of GL account has not been moved. Apart from that other changes related to Financial Structure have been moved along with Transport Request
how can i club these Translation related chnages in this same TR so that i need not to run LSMW in all clients and apply changes in each Clients seperately.
Thanks
Jignesh

Hi
When you save the data relating to the diffrent language not saves in the request. First check whether that particular request is having the data in different language.
OSS Note - 1000586
- Doing the client copy
If the texts are present in Client 000 but are missing in an Client different from 000 there are different tools to bring the texts from client 000 into the Client other than 000.
- RSTLAN_SUPPLEMENT_UNI, described in notes 43853 and 211226
- Client Maintenance function in SMLT
- (only valid up to SAP_BASIS 6.10: RSREFILL, described in note 48047)
Please keep in mind:
Data in clients other than 000 are treated as customer data. Existing texts will not be overwritten there. (see Note 2857)

How do the copy the Recording form one client to another client.

Hi all
I have one scenario like
We need to process the sales documents which are not process to output(means send the document to printer) .
For that I have to write a BDC program,
In that program we need to list out the all the documents which are not process .
Then we need to do the Recording for VA02.
NAVIGATION IS LIKE : va02 --> enter the doc No --> go the Extract(main menu) --> output --> Header --> Edit --> select the output type -->Save --> go the Sales Document(in main menu option) --> issue output --> print.
But what my quarry is we have to do Record that T-Code (VA02) client 040 but we dont have any test data (any entries),
We have another client 093, in this client we dont have authorization properly, means I able to Record but I am unable to create the program after recording why becace we don't ahve authorization for SE38.
Please tell me is there any possible Export the Record form one client and Import to another client.

Hi Amjad,
Yes we can transfer from one client to another client.
to copy client from 901 to 903. if you have created a recording in client 901, go to transactions SHDB, double click on the specific recording, it will open the recording. there got to menu path: recording->export. export to a text file.
in client 903 create a sample recording. open the recording in change mode, delete all lines. then go to menu path Recording->import, import the text file.
it will works fine.

ML Automatically sorts files by name when moving from one folder to another.

Hello, i usually used to move a bunch of files like images or mp3s from one folder to another and in Lion, when moving like 20+ files to another folder, they was being placed where you clicked.
Seems that in ML when i move the same amount of same files, rather than placing them at the cursor, it just moves them and sorts by name. How to avoid this?

WF initiator in another client does not work

Hi,
I have created my WF and the first step is a user decision (yes/no). In this I use the &_WF_INITIATOR& as the addresse of the WI. It works fine in the development client but not in another client and I wonder why.
When I check the protocol, system is telling me that there´s no agent available which is not true. I see in the container USxxxxxx and I also created an object in the container for passing the user name like USxxxxxxx and nothing. It does not work.
What could the problem be ??
Thanks

Hi,
I double-checked the task and it it general. I also checked the log for the step and there´s no WFINITIATOR nor WIACTUAL_AGENT.
In the technical details I see that the workflow´s container has the WFINITIATOR with USxxxxxx and in the next step (user decision) there´s no such information nor WIACTUAL_AGENT. Based on this I corrected my WF for passing WFINITIATOR to WIACTUAL_AGENT in the step (using the data flow).
The above does not work. I see now in the technical details USxxxxxx for WIACTUAL_AGENT in the step but the protocol still tells me that there´s to agent.
Any ideas ??

Bank master data changes not getting tranported to another client

Hi all
While i am making changes to the bank master data, they are not reflected in the transport to another client.
Please let me know how to do this.
Thanks
ES

Hi
While creating the house bank , i created the bank master using the create button.
This was saved in the transport request and moved correctly through the transport.
Now i find that the description etc. to be changed in FI02. I have done the changes.
These changes when transported do not get reflected in the new environment.
Please let me know the reason.
Thanks & Regards

Call one workflow in another workflow

How to call one workflow in another workflow? which QPAC is used to achieve this functionality?

None. If the workflow being called is in the active state you should find alongside your list of 'QPACS' in the Services panel.
You can then drag it onto the caller process and configure it the same way you would any other QPAC.
Keep in mind that your parent process will wait or continue immediately, depending on your user settings. Then there is the issue of security....
Good luck!

Transfer data in the Ztable from one client to another client in a same ser

Hi all,
How can i transfer or move data in the Ztable from one client to another client in a same server .
Thanks
Ajay

hi,
create a transport request (Workbench type) and add the following line into the transport request:
R3TR TABU name_of_table
save and doubleclick this line and enter the table keys for the required entries (if you need all antries: client and an asterisk will do).
When it is done save again, release the transport and ask basis to import into target client (or you can do on your own in SCC1 transaction)
hope this helps

How can I transport data from one client to another client?

How can I transport data from one client to another client?
Regards,
Subho

hmmm, CTS = cutomizing transport?
If you have a customizing table, there are still two possibilities.
1. customize in DEV system and transport
2. customize right there where you need it.
this depends on how the maintainance view is built. If it is a simple customizing table and you get not asked for a TR when customizing a new record or changing an existing one, you hit possibility 2.
