Multi Approval "approverObjects" parameter

We're trying to use the "Multi Approval" WF and it's asking me to put a parameter called "approverObjects"; for the "approvers"
parameter we�re adding the List of approvers but for this one(approverObjects), it's different because it's expecting a list
of user objects.
I'm creating that list user objects as follows:
<Action id='2' name='set_approverObject_List'>
<expression>
<block trace='true'>
<set name='approverObjects'>
<dolist name='currentApprover'>
<ref>GetApprovers</ref>
<set name='mapApprover'>
<new class='java.util.HashMap'/>
</set>
<putmap>
<ref>mapApprover</ref>
<s>approver</s>
<ref>currentApprover</ref>
</putmap>
<ref>mapApprover</ref>
</dolist>
</set>
</block>
</expression>
</Action>
where: GetApprovers is the list of approvers.(2)
the result of this Action is a list of 2 maps with the approver key and as value the SSO id.
Currently that's not working, and it's not generating any work item for each approver.
Can you pls help me on how to make this "Multi Approval" WF runs?

Hi,
Please pass list of approver in the argument under "approvers" which contain only account id. Then only it able to get the approver request to the user.

ApproverObjects in multi approval process

I am trying to call a multi approval process, but it never sends out any approvals, it just skips out of it. My understanding is that approverObjects needs to passed in which should be The list of approver objects where each approver object contains the approvers name and delegators name(s) if any. I tried to pass in a list with accountId but it didn't work, and it gave me an error. I think its looking for a specific kind of object. Anybody know what should be in that list? Here are the errors:
om.waveset.util.WavesetException: Couldn't find method getApprover() in class java.lang.String java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: java.lang.String.getApprover()
com.waveset.util.WavesetException: Couldn't find method getDelegator() in class java.lang.String java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: java.lang.String.getDelegator()

Request message in Multi Approval

I am using multi approval.
When request goes by default request goes
Approve User XXX
I need to change this message.
Can some one please guide me what should I do?
Thx

Hi,
Down at the TaskDefinition:Approval which is the lowest level of all the approval workflows you will find the following, this controls what is shown as the workItem description:
<WorkItemDescription>
 <select>
 <ref>description</ref>
 <message name='UI_APPR_XML_ACCOUNT'>
 <ref>accountId</ref>
 </message>
 </select>
</WorkItemDescription>If you don't pass a value for 'description' then the standard message, "Approve User xxx" is shown.
You can call MultiApproval passing description in this fashion, look for the description argument
<Action id='2' name='Invalid User Record Requires Approval' process='Configuration:Multi Approval'>
 <ReportTitle>
 <s>Invalid User Record Requires Approval</s>
 </ReportTitle>
 <Argument name='request'>
 <ref>approvals.request</ref>
 </Argument>
 <Argument name='description'>
 <ref>approvals.description</ref>

Multiple Default Values in a Multi-Select LOV Parameter?

Hi,
I have a report in BI Publisher standalone version 10.1.3.4. The report has a list of values called org_lov. This lov is attached to a multi-selection p_org_code parameter from which it is desirable to also have multiple default values.
For example, if org_lov has the following values:
100
101
102
103
104
105
106
I would like to have 3 default values and have 100, 101,105 as the defaults if the user doesn't specifically select anything from the LOV. So far my testing has only allowed a single default value.
Here are my settings:
Data type = string
Multiple Selection = checked
Can select All = checked (all values passed)
On the Default Value field, I have tried the following:
1. 100, 101,105
2. [100, 101,105]
3. '100', '101','105'
4. (100, 101,105)
5. ['100', '101','105']
6. ('100', '101','105')
I don't need these default values highlighted in the LOV, I just need it passed correctly to the query (a data template).
Thank you in advance for any input.

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed reply. I tried what you suggested but the problem is that by having the "Multiple Selection" property of the parameter unchecked, the result is that it allows the user to only have a single value passed. The user wants the option to select multiple values AND also have the multiple default values.
Thanks anyway.

Display Multi Port S-Parameter data

Hi,
there are a lot of programs out to display 2 Port S-Parameter. But what I'm missing is a software that is able to plot Multi port S-parameter data. I would think of some kind of Matrix where you can just select any Port combination that you would like to be displayed by a matrix of boolean selectors. I guess Labview would be an ideal tool for implementing a method for displaying S11, S21, FEXT and NEXT.
Does anybody know if there is an exisisting VI that allows to plot multiport S-Parameter data ?
Thanks and regards
Hermann

Hi Marco,
thanks for the Feedback.
Í understand, that everything is possible ... I just hoped, that I don't have to programm it on my own ;-), as such a VI would be something many people could need.
There is a nice vi to display a TDMS file. I'm looking for something similar for S-parameters.
One Example: I do have two 10 Port S-Parameter sets from two different connector vendors and I would like to compare it. Not only displaying and comparing it, but also converting it from Single ended to Differential would be interesting.
But I guess as you mentioned, that there is no "special" example vi on the web I have to implement it on my own :-(

Hermann

Process=Multi Approval without hollidays

Good Afternoon!
I have IDM 8.1 and I want implement in a workflow the process "Multi Approval", but in the argument "timeout" only I can put the numbers in minutes in that the proccess is active, I want to know how I can only include the days without hollydays (mon, tue, wed, thur and friday), not include saturdays and sundays for that the proccess continue active.

Hi Patrick,
For creating Multilevel Approval workflow, you can implement it using SharePoint designer 2010.

Multi-Approval in OIM!

hi all,
how do i do multi-approval in OIM? if i get a list of approvers dynamically from an external resource say a db (using an adapter), how do i generate MULTI-OR approvals and also MULTI-AND approvals.
also, can one process in OIM call another process? is there a SUB-PROCESS concept?
vik

Hi Vik
AND:
Craete two tasks in Approval workflow App1 and App2. App1 will be non-conditional and App2 will be conditional and App2 will be dependent on App1.
In the responses tab of App1, select Approve and below in Task to Generate tab you have to select task App2.

Take an approved from Multi Approval process

Hello!
I need take a value (Aprove o reject) for every approver in Multi Approval process, Can anyone help me?
This is the code:
<set name='approvals.approvers'>
<list>
<s>ESM3801A</s>
<s>ESM3801B</s>
</list>
</set>
<Argument name='style' value='allapprove'/>
The idea is reemplace:
<isTrue>
<ref>approved</ref>
</isTrue>
for a expression where I can take the value for ESM3801A and other for ESM3801B.
Thanks.
Felipe Forero

I think the only way to know which all approvers approved and who all rejected is to
use a customized multi approval code
Look at the "Multi Approval" Sub Process .
It is nothing but looping through the approvers list that you provided and
calling single approval process for each approver in the list.
so you can actually modify the Multi Approval code to return an array which shows who approved and who didn't

How to pass multi-value input parameter to SQL command

I'm having trouble following the threads related to passing multi-value parameters to a SQL command.
I need more details on the work-around that exists for using a dummy main report to GET the input parameters and pass them to a subreport parameter that uses the input parameters in its sql command WHERE clause.
So far the main report prompts user to enter badge numbers into a multi-value string type parameter field called badgeNumber.
The main report getRequesters command executes the following SQL:
SELECT requester FROM lawprod.requester WHERE lawprod.requester.requester IN '{?badgeNumber}'
order by requester
The main report also contains a formula called requesterList that concatenates the input parameters and separates the values with commas: (Join ({?badgeNumber}, ", ")
So if user enters badge numbers 1 and 2 and 3 the value of requesterList is 1, 2, 3
From the main report I've used the Insert Subreport command to choose an existing report, and used the link tab to link @requesterList to ?requester; where ?requester is a multi-value parameter that is used in the subreport's SQL query as shown below:
WHERE (lawprod.ictrans.update_date <= {?endDate} AND
 lawprod.ictrans.update_date >= {?startDate} AND
 lawprod.ictrans.doc_type = 'IS' AND
 lawprod.ictrans.system_cd = 'RQ' AND
 lawprod.mmdist.posting_type = 'O1')
 AND
 (lawprod.ictrans.company = lawprod.mmdist.company AND
 lawprod.ictrans.system_cd = lawprod.mmdist.system_cd AND
 lawprod.ictrans.location = lawprod.mmdist.location AND
 lawprod.ictrans.doc_type = lawprod.mmdist.doc_type AND
 lawprod.ictrans.document = lawprod.mmdist.doc_number AND
 lawprod.ictrans.shipment_nbr = lawprod.mmdist.doc_nbr_num AND
 lawprod.ictrans.line_nbr = lawprod.mmdist.line_nbr AND
 lawprod.ictrans.component_seq = lawprod.mmdist.component_seq)
 AND
 (lawprod.ictrans.company = lawprod.reqline.company AND
 lawprod.ictrans.document = lawprod.reqline.req_number_a AND
 lawprod.ictrans.line_nbr = lawprod.reqline.line_nbr AND
 lawprod.reqline.company = lawprod.reqheader.company AND
 lawprod.reqline.req_number = lawprod.reqheader.req_number)
 AND
 (lawprod.reqheader.requester in '{?requester}')
Following execution of the main report, Crystal appears to prompt for three values as expected: badge numbers for the main report, and start and end dates needed by the subreport. I can't figure out why Crystal XI returns no data. Can anyone explain what I'm missing?
Edited by: Patricia Sims on Sep 21, 2009 9:30 PM

The reason no data is returned is that the multiple values are not (properly?) passed to the main report's SQL. The main report's SQL should be (MS SQL):
select 1 as dummy
This causes exactly one record to be returned, which will basically be ignored (except the fact that it will drive the subreport; any query that returns only 1 record will suffice...).
Change the concatenation of the selected values to be (basic syntax):
formula = "|" + join({?badgeNumber}, "|") + "|"
The leading and trailing vertical bars are important (otherwise a database value of 1 might match a selection of 123).
Pass the concatenated string as the parameter value to the subreport. In your subreport, select records on (basic syntax):
formula = (instr({?sr-badgeParam}, "|"+cstr({requester},"0") + "|") > 0)
(assumes is numeric in the database, and is integer; modify or eliminate cstr() if otherwise...)
Put your subreport on the detail format of the main report, and you're all set...
HTH,
Carl

Enable Multi Stream ICA parameter in WAAS(5.1.1c)

Hi all!
I have questions about the settings of Multi Stream ICA(MSI) in WAAS (ver 5.1.1c).
(1) Setting Parameter
* Enable only the parameter "Enable Multi Stream ICA" ?
* Is there other parameter for such quality of service(QoS)?
We should set the parameters in WAAS?
We don't have the information of how to set it and the meaning.
(2) Impact when enabling "Enable Multi Stream ICA"
* In our network, ICA stream go thourgh WAAS, but not MSI. If we enable MSI parameter, do outages of current ICA stream happen?
If so, the outage means "connection failure happens"?
Regards, Satoshi

SSRS : Reporting Services - Multi-Value Parameter Issue

Hi,
This problem is been around the blogs and forums for while now but may be it's not answered to the fullest. I couldn't get any satisfactory or completed solution on the issue so far, any clues/help will be highly appreciated.
My scenario is very simple :-
I am using SQL Server 2005 and SSRS. I need to develop a report which has a parameter value called Customer Name. The users should be able to select multiple customers from the list and sometimes Select All also. I tried the following :-
Created two data sets : Second dataset is just to populate the Customer Name
Created a Report Parameter and mapped with the query parameter where it says "Where CName in (@Parameter1)"
Nothing seems to be working although I tried to apply all the existing half-way solutions currently available in the forums. May be I am not getting to the right solution.
Here is what's happening :-
When used '?' like "where CName = ?" then it's working fine for the single value. {Multi value query cannot be used with ?}
But for multiple values when used @Parameter1 like "where CName in (@Parameter1)" it's giving the following error
Cannot add multi value query parameter '@Parameter1' for data set 'Dataset1' because it is not supported by the data extension.
However if commented this line it's pulling all the values whether or not selected from the parameter list.
This is the basic thing which I was not able to get the desired result, in addition I was looking to get the Customer Name parameter selected with a partial entry as we use LIKE. Example :- If the user enters 'St' in the text box the list should show all the names starting from those two letters
Starter
Steve
Steven
Stevenson etc.
I am not sure whether I'll will be able to get to this extent or not but until the multi value parameter, I am desperate to get the solution. So any sort of help/advise is highly appreciated.

Multi Value Parameter with ODBC Connection

Hi Everyone . . .
I am stuck, and have been since Monday :/ . . .
Backgroud:
I am using Report Builder 3.0 with an ODBC connection to build reports off of our Vertica DB. This part is going swimmingly, thanks to the help I recieved from this forum.
Now, some of the queries that I am using (or reports I guess) require parameters. I was attempting the @Parameter and quickly realized this was not possible with the ODBC connection. I have solved this issue by using the ? as the parameter.
Works nicely, not as clean, but serves the purpose.
Most, all of my parameters to this point have been single value parameters. Now, however, we are dabbling in allowing our report users to select multiple Users as a parameter. This is where I am stuck...
I have flipped the parameter checkbox to "Allow multiple values", I then recieved an error saying this:
Cannot add multi value query parameter 'UserName' for dataset 'RankingQuery' because it is not supported by the data extension.
Here is what I have done: I have gone to the Dataset properties for the appropriate query that the parameter is being fed into > then to the Parameters tab. In the Parameters tab instead of selecting the @UserName parameter from the drop down
I clicked the Fx buttone and inserted the UserName Parameter from there it looks like this: =Parameters!UserName.Value(0)
Now because of this last step my report runs without error, however, when I select multiple user names from the parameter drop down I only recieve data for the first person selected in that drop down.
Am I missing something? Does anyone know how to fix this? Please help!
Thanks everyone.
Travis

Hi There
Thanks for your posting. Can you please try this way? Go to your dataset properties and then go to filter tab and add filter like this
Please choose your dataset filed name from the dataset in which you would like to apply the filter for your parameter
UserName
Put operator=in
And please put value like= Parameters!UserName.Value
Please do not put Parameters!UserName.Value(0)
I hope this will resolve your problem
Many thanks
Syed

Multi Apprval - Approve action resulting into suspended Task Result

I am having an issue with the multi approval process. After the approval, the Workflow gets into a suspended state in the Task list and the task description being still awaiting approval from the approver. This issue started occurring after I did an import of the defaults from another working environment. The IdM version being 6.0 SP4.
Please help me.
Thanks

Sudhir,
I understand that this is what it is behaving now. The only thing I got confused is why in the "Result State"-->"Target" drop-down, it allows me to select "Other", then select particular Action in another Block, while it just navigate to the block but not the exact action.
If the design does not allow us to navigate to the exact Action of a Block, it should not allow us to select the other "Block", then move in to select the "Action" of the block. This confused me that I can navigate from the "Action 1" of "Block A" to "Action 3" of Block B.
It should just allow me to select the "Other", then the "Block", without the option to select the "Action".
Another question, how do I terminate the whole PROCESS (not just the actions in the particular BLOCK) in the Result State "Input Data is rejected" Target. Right now, the "Terminal" option seems like just terminating the actions of the block,then move to the next block.
Thanks for advice,
KC
