MS Visio 2007 for MDM Workflow

Hi,
  We are working on MDM SP06 patch 2.
Just want to know whether MS Visio 2007 version is compatible for MDM workflow since only 2003 products work fine with MDM .Has anyone tried this out?
Please suggest
Regards
Nisha

Hi,
  Just now went back to Master Guide of MDM SP06 it says That MDM doesnt support Microsoft 2007.
What version of MDM are u on?
Regards
Nisha

  • Visio 2007/Sharepoint 2010 Workflows

    I have Visio 2007 and working with SharePoint 2010. Am I still able to develop/deploy workflows with this combination? I only see tutorials for 2010/2010.
    Thanks.

    You can still develop/deploy workflows using SharePoint Designer 2010.  You won't be able to use Visio 2007 to rough out the workflows and import them into SharePoint Designer.  That requires Visio 2010 Premium.  But, even with Visio 2010
    premium you can't develop/deploy workflows without going through SharePoint Designer 2010.

  • 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.

  • ABAP API for MDM work flow

    Hi SDN,
    I need some information related to ABAP API for MDM workflow. I did search in SDN and I found one solution in a thered posted on Jul-2008.
    ABAP API - MDM Workflow execute
    My dought is: Do we have any ABAP API for call MDM work flow. Please provide me the solution ASAP. Apprciate for your immediate response.
    Regards,
    Kumar.

    Hi LAKSHMAN ,
    To answer your question specifically
    Using ABAP api you cannot call MDM workflows as of mdm 5.5 there are no functions specific to calling MDM workflows in ABAP.If you want to implement workflows on ABAP side you need to go for SAP ECC workflows which is a different topic than MDM>
    To call MDM workflows over the Java stack ie WAS (SAP portal),You have 2 ways
    - UWL
    - Guided Procedures.
    - UWL is a way of calling MDM workflows on EP.Wherein the workflow design will be done in MDM and it will only be called in portal using appropiate connections and configurations.
    You can refer the below links to know more on them:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/771f1a61-0e01-0010-daa9-93a52905da09 (uwl)

    - GP is a way where by you need to design the entire workflow on SAP portal the logic can be pertaining to MDM but the design is completely on portal using webdynpros and api.
    You can refer the below links to know more on them:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/92811997-0d01-0010-9584-f7d535177831  (Guided procedures)

  • MDM or XI for a workflow consultant...

    Hi there,
    I have been working in SAP ABAP workflow for 3+ years now. Now I am looking to add some more skills. I am thinking of either taking up MDM  (work with MDM workflows) or XI (work with ccBPM). I am confused, please help me.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Im taking this up (MDM) because of the market situation in the US as of now.  I asked the question because I felt, I should not regret later. Thanks for your reply though...

  • MDM Workflow for Exceptions

    I have read about the Checkout/Workflow config for imported MDM records, but I cannot find an answer to the following query. 
    Can I create an MDM workflow when MDIS import files fail (go to Exception directory)?  I would like to notify a user that there is an import exception and tell them some details about why it failed.
    Thanks,
    Keith

    Hi Keith
    this is not possible using MDM workflow for the reasons rightly explained above.
    Instead the users can see the import logs and find out which records failed to import. if you are importing manually without MDIS.
    for more details on error handling for records failed to import using MDIS refer to the link below:

  • Call MDM Workflow for Item Record

    Hello,
    We are implementing MDM 7.1 on Portal and want to trigger MDM Workflow through Webdynpro Java when a user edits a record for Item and clicks on 'Save'. I have captured the 'Post Save Event' in Webdynpro Java and received the Record Id of the Item being edited.
    Now I want to execute the Workflow based on the RecordID. Can somebody send me the code for the same for connecting to the MDM Repository and starting the workflow for the Item record.
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Visio plugin (stencil) for MDM does not work

    Hi,
    I run the mdm workflow (5.5) plugin in MDM (windows 2003) and Visio professional 2003.
    I can successfully create workflows via data manager and visio and save the the workflow.
    When opening the workflow the next time the MDM workflow stencil does not appear. The workflow seems to have disappeared.
    It works with a colleagues computer so I assume there is some setting missing on my computer, but I have tried on two different machines with the same result.
    Any advise?
    B.r
    Olof

    Hi Again,
    Listing the steps to be followed:
    1) Open Visio and go to the Tools > Macros > Security.
    The 'Security Level' tab should be set to 'Low' and in the 'Trusted Publishers' tab the 'Trust access to Visual Basic Project' should be checked.
    2) In Visio, click Tools->Options.
    In the Options dialog, click Security tab.
    In the Security tab, check the Enable Automation Events button.
    Once this has been done you will need to close the Visio and then launch it again via the Data Manager.
    regards
    Ravi

  • 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:

    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.

  • MDM workflow - dynamic approver determination

    Hallo,
    in MDM workflow, i see that in the visio workflow definition of the approval step, it is possible to set approvers. This sound to me like a static approval definition.
    Let say that according to some field value I want to determine different approvers, meaning if Product category is 1 approver is X, if Product category is 2 approver is Y, etc..
    Is this possible to achieve?
    How?
    thank you in advance,
    Regards,
    Marco

    Marco,
    I am assuming you have 3 approvers X, Y and Z. Create 3 validations for all 3 cases:
    Validation A: Category =1  => goes to approver X
    Validation B: Category =2  => goes to approver Y
    Validation C: Category =3  => goes to approver Z
    Start -> Branch (Add validation A) -> Form 2 processes (1 which is TRUE goes to Approver X and for false it is either Y or Z)
                -> (TRUE) -> Approver (Assign X)
                -> (FALSE) -> Branch (Add Validation B) -> Form 2 processes (1 which is TRUE goes to Approver Y and for false it is Z)
                -> (TRUE) -> Approver (Assign Y)
                -> (FALSE) -> Approver (Assign Z if this the default approver else add one more iteration)
    I hope this should work.

  • MDM workflow transfer from repository to repository

    How to transport mdm workflows (as records & visio content) from one repository to another repository.
    We just need workflows information from one repository to another.

    Hi Ramu,
    This link is very useful as it guides for the best practises involved while transporting MDM repositories and its objects. It also tells the limitation of the present version in transporting some certain objects.
    How to Transport Master Data Management Objects between Master Data Management 5.5 Systems (NW7.0)
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20751e78-f81f-2a10-228f-eb3a16421b4d
    You can either Archive in your case from the source repository and then Un-archive it in the target repository ( this too will copy everything) or else you can simply duplicate the rep. This will create a copy of the source and then manually you will have to delete all the un-wanted things.
    If both these approach doesnt suit in your requirement, then I am afraid you will have to create the workflows manually in the target repository. Transportation of MDM objects is still not very strong enough in current versions. However, we can expext more improvements in the upcoming versions.
    Hope it helps.

  • SAP MDM Workflow

    Hi,
    I have written some SAP MDM Workflows.
    Now, the email is not firing.
    There is a setting to be done in .rhosts or in some particular
    where you have to specify SMTP Mail Server.
    Regards
    Kaushik Banerjee

    Hi Kaushik,
    For activating the Notification step in MDM workflows you have to make settings in the mds.ini file in the server folder location,where you have to mention the Smtp server taht you are using for sending the mails.
    Bedsides this settings you will have to crete users in MDM console with their email ids so that they can receive mails acc from the owner of the workflow.
    You will have to add the notify step in the Visio template and fill in the correct property details.
    These settings should enable your mail services for the wf users.
    The mail will be shooted in 1 sec to the desired user as the timeout default time is set to 1 sec however you can set this prameter,if the mail sending is failed due to any unknown reasons an error is loged but the sending is not redone.
    Follow the below link to get a clearer idea o the same:

  • Relative hyperlinks in pdf documents printed from visio 2007

    Hello to all. The problem we are trying to solve is to maintain relative hyperlinks that were created in visio 2007 when we publish or print a pdf document. The pdf document that we printed is written in adobe reader 9, and it maintains the hyperlinks but as absolute ones and we required the hyperlinks to maintain as relatives. The idea is to distribute the pdf document with its hyperlinks and the documents that are linked to it in different computers that are not in the same network. The documents that we are trying to link are pdf, word and excel 2007 documents. The operating system we use is Microsoft vista home premium. Does anyone know how to maintain relative hyperlinks in a pdf document printed from visio 2007? Thanks in advance!

    Bernd Alheit, thanks for your answer. We print the pdf document from visio 2007 and then we read it in adobe reader 9. The relative hyperlinks work fine in visio 2007, but they change to absolute ones in the pdf document.
