Multiple participants in MSS

Hi
WE have to give a solution to the customer in travel management. We have configured the substitution in MSS where, the assistant can manage the manager list of employees and generate the travel expense reports for them. Now, the client has come up for fuirther enhancement asking if the
when the assistant creates a favorites list, can he/she use it in creating expense reports for other employees besides their own? They should be able to access both the self favourite list and managers favourite list. Please provide the resolution
Thanks
Samatha

Hi,
Sure you've thought of these, but you might want to consider using:
1) a Split activity to divide up the work. Once all the work that was divided is completed, the instance moves on.
2) a Split-N activity to make a runtime decision on how many pieces to divide up the work into.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Same sender id for multiple participant trading partners

Hi All,
Although the scenario is little bit less common, but I have to model a Trading partner setup such a way that multiple participant trading partner will send document with same sender id but they will send the document for different unique receiver id. My question is the scenario can be supported in B2B.Thanks for your help.
Regards.

Hi,
As there cannot be two different person with same identity, similarly there should not be TP's with same Id otherwise you will not be able to identify that from whom you received the message and to where you want to send the message.
Anyways, your use case can be supported in Oracle B2B.
If you want to create multiple identities of a single host then it's very much supported in Oracle B2B.
if you want multiple hosts on same instance then it is possible by using HUB model . Please refer -
Can multiple hosts exist on single instance
I am not very sure whether you can have multiple TP's with same Id but as far as I know it is also possible with Oracle B2B.

Sending Instance dynamically to multiple participant.

I have a situation where the count of receiving participants will very from 1 to 5.
this.participant.next helps in sending instance dyanmically to a participant.
My question was, How do I send the instance dynamically to multiple partipants.
Please help

First thing that comes to mind is to utilize a SPLIT-N JOIN.
Put 1) an AUTOMATIC, and 2) the activity that needs to have multiple participants in between the SPLIT-N and the JOIN. In the code for the SPLIT, iterate over your variable that contains the counter of participants (intParticipantCount) and do the following:
1) set another variable for the desired participant (varParticipant)
2) clone the instance for as many particpants as you have.
In the code of the automatic, put the "participant.next" code and use your varParticipant
So if your process looked like the list below, and Activity 2 was the activity that needed to have a dynamic number of participants:
1) begin
2) activity 1
3) activity 2 (has dynamic # of participants)
4) activity 3
5) end
It would now look like:
1) begin
2) activity 1
3) SPLIT-N
4) Automatic (to set next participant)
5) activity 2
6) JOIN
4) activity 3
5) end
All of this assumes that Activity 2 needs to be completed by EACH user. If this is not the case...for example if you want to assign Activity 2 to a dynamic list of users (1-5) but you only want 1 user of the dynamic list to complete the activity, then I have no proven or tested suggestion, but you could perhaps look into seeing if you can 1) create parametric roles at runtime and 2)modify the members of the parametric role during runtime. if this is possible, then at runtime you would create a new parametric role, add the users to it, and set the parametric value. But this approach is all theoretical. Not sure if you can actually do that.

Send to multiple participants

Activity A is in Role A. Activity B is in Role B which has 5 participants (a, b, c, d, e). Activity A is sent to 3 participants (a, b, c) of Role B. If one of the 3 participants receives the instance, this instance can only be assign to this participant. Other participants cannot assign this instance to themselves.
How to do this in BPM 10g?
Thanks.

Hi,
Not sure I followed what you're after, but it sounds like you want to assign the work item instance to be worked on in activity B by only 3 of the 5 people in the role.
If I've understood you correctly, you might want to use a parametric role for this since it lets you define a role that has subroles based on the value of a string variable. If you go this route, only the 3 people in the parametric role will see the instance. If one of the three assigns it to themself, the other 2 will no longer see the instance.
If you use a Multiple for this, each of the 3 would be assigned a copy of the instance, but even though one of the 3 assigns the instance to themself, the other 2 would still have it in their inbox.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Can I forward a MMS dialogue (multiple participants) on iPhone 5?

I have a MMS dialogue consisting of 5 participants and multiple bubbles that I would like to forward to someone with an iPhone. When I try to do so, every entry/correspondence is merged into one large bubble and it is virtually impossible to distinguish the different participants' submissions. Is there a way to forward the chain "as-is" showing different participants and each individual comment in its own bubble?

NO, that is how it works, when you forward text.

OSA - Employees filter in "Create multiple appraisals" from MSS

hello Gurus,
We are implementing the Objective Settings and Appraisal module with EHP4.
Starting from the EHP4, the manager can access a Webdynpro dashboard where he can check the status of the appraisees. With this functionality, he can also perform the mass creation of the new appraisals via the button u2018Create Multipleu2019.
Using this functionality itu2019s not possible to filter the employees on the basis of the information stored in the IT0001 u2018Organizational Assignmentu2019, due to filtering mode on HRP1000 object type P. So the manager always see the whole list of employees under his u201Cmanager positionu201D HRP1001 relationship A012.
In our project we need to distinguish between different employee group u201CP0001-PERSGu201D, but at the moment we are not able to do it.
Does anyone know how to do it? In particular does anyone know if itu2019s possible to do it without a modification to the standard Webdynpro?
In the lines below there are the technical details of the functionality u2018create multipleu2019:

Katia Gabrielli,
We are also implementing new Performance Management - WD ABAP with EHP4.
When I open the Performance Management iview from MSS --> Talent Management, I can see an evaluation for my team.
But when I click the link, nothing happens.
Did I miss any configuration on the backend?
How do I resolve this?
Thanks

Submitting to multiple participants simultaneously (parallel/rendezvous)

Hi,
We have created a form where the initiators need to select form 30 users (list) some 6 participants to send the form to them and then get their feedback all at once.
Is it possible, using the standard QPAC (with, maybe, additional scripting), to send the submitted form to several participants in parallel/rendezvous way and send it to the initiator after all participants submitted their work items? It seems that there is no straight forward way like what we used to have in Adobe Workflow 6.2 environment.
You input is highly appreciated.
BR,
Yasser

You might do this by creating a database table for storing information that you want to rendezvous. After the initator has selected the user list, have your workflow branch off to send the standard asynchronous work items to each user. As each user finishes their task, store their results in the database along with a system of denoting that they have responded. Then each branch should check that same flag again to see if all users have responded. If not, the branch dies, or you could have some sort of notification step if necessary.
If all users have responded and stored their results in the database, the last branch to do so will see it, and continue to a convergence step which can then load and merge all of the responses and continue with the workflow.
It's not pretty, but it would work. The challenge is in designing the database table to store the responses, and the methods for using that table to monitor completion.

Human Task: how to get the participant name in the task form?

HI All,
I am using SOA Suite 11.1.1.6 in the current project. For a human task, there are multiple participating groups. For each participant, the payload is different. Currently, we are calling Human Task multiple times to pass the payload. However, I like to take advantage of new features in 11g Human task. I like to setup multiple groups as parallel. Then, jsf page can selective display corresponding parts of the payload for different partidipants. The problem is how JSF can get the name of the participant when page is invoked?
Thanks in advance,
Steven

Hi,
Variants are stored in table VARI and VARID.
You can use RS_ALL_VARIANTS_4_1_REPORT to get all the variants for a report program.

Export multiple entries in CSV format - Adobe Captivate Results Analyzer

I'm currently developing and testing a quiz in Captivate 8, which I have set up with the assistance of my IT colleagues to report to an internal server.
All appears to be working correctly with regard to capturing the data. I can access and read the data using Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer 1.5.
I note that I can see the individual responses and I can drill down to see the details of the interactions - interaction type, correct answer, student answer etc.
My issue is that it seems that you can't batch export this detailed information for multiple participants when I use the 'Export to CSV' function. It appears to only allow you to export the data for each individual that you have drilled down into. Given that I have several hundred participants that isn't going to work.
Can someone tell me if this is a limitation of Adobe Captivate Results Analyzer or is there a way to do this using this tool?
Thanks

Hi there, I have similar issue that I have explained in this post. Any ideas please?

Sending the process instance to a particular participants workspace

Hi All,
I am a bit new to Aqualogic BPM. I have to design a process, the requirements of which are as follows:
The process has three roles:
- Super Users
- Supervisor
- Primary Users
Super User and Supervisor will have one participant each but the role Primary Users can have multiple participants. The process will be initiated by the Super User, which will go in the Supervisors workspace. Now, the supervisor should have the flexibilty of assigning this intance to any one of the participant in the Primary User role.
The Approach that i am following (from Supervisor onwards):
Supervisor will see a presentation where he'll have all the participants of Primary Users in a drop down, from where he can select the participant to whom he wants to assigned. Then i am assigning it to Participant.next but unfortunately when taking the log, Participant.next is coming null.
I have following queries:
- Why Participant.next is still coming null?
- Can't we assign anything to Participant.next?
- Can we direct the instance to any Participant which is from a different role (just after the role from where we are assigning)?
- Is there any other approach that can resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Akshay

Have you tried using the lower case version "participant.next" instead? Also, I think this is only available to automatic activities.

MSS Time Approval - Detailed approval view shows time data for different PN

Hi Experts,
We're using the standard MSS time approval without workflow and here're 2 issues we have:
There're multiple time records for multiple employees in MSS for approval.
1. When manager tried to select all the records for one employee and click the "Approve" button in the collective approval screen, then all the records will be approved including records of other employees.
2. When manager click the hours of one record for a certain employee to go to the detailed/individual view, other employee's time data will be displayed in the detailed view window.
Please help!
Thanks,
Hongling

Hello Kamalbabu,
after Migration of our ess applications from WebDynpro JAVA to Web Dynpro ABAP we have a problem that sounds similar to the one you descriped above.
In POWL the button 'details' (detail view) for leave request approval seem to have no function.
Because your post is a few years old, I guess you solved the problem and hope you can share your solution with us.
You will find more information about our specifc problem in this threat: http://scn.sap.com/message/15482063
Thank you.

Multiple gateway Instance Abort

I have a Process Instance(say name ="A") with Multiple gateway which has Join includes ACTION= RELEASE.

I want to grab all this by using the name of "A".
instance.grab(grabActivity : "GrabInst");

External task and Multiple-join

In a process, the order of activities is: Begin->interactive activity A -> multiple -> interactive activity B -> Join -> interactive activity C
This process has 2 instance variable, var1 and var2.
var1's type is BPMObject
var2's type is String.
PBL code in Mulitple is as follow.
---------------------------Multiple------------------------------
participants as Participant[]
ts as String[]
ts=var1.selectParticipants;
v as Int
v=length(ts)-1
for i2 in 0..v
do
participants(i2)=Participant.find(name : ts(i2))
end
for each p in participants do
copy = clone(this)
copy.participant.next = p
copy.var1.voteResult="O"
end
The main task type of interactive activity B is set to external.
The PBL code in the interactive activity B is as follow
------------------------interactive activity Prepare--------------------------------------------------------
var1.voteResult=arg1
arg2=var1.voteResult
arg1 and arg2 in this interactive activity are fine.
Interactive activity B does not have a commit method .
The PBL code in the Join is below.
---------------------------------------------------Join-----------------------------------------------
var2=var2+"*"+copy.var1.voteResult
I also try: this.var2=this.var2+"*"+copy.var1.voteResult
However, it only outputs *
It only output *. The number of * equals the number of branch.
The main task of Interactive activity C is an external task.
This activity only has a very simple prepare method: arg1=var2
arg 1 is the argument. I just want to see the value of var2. However, the value of var2 is just *
I cannot get the value of each branch.
How to get the correct value of each branch?

I change the value type to Int. Then, it works.
How to get the value of String type?

Is it possible to add users as "Write Only" participants.

It is possible to add users to a workspace as a Workspace Reviewer that gives the user Read Only rights. Is there any way to add users to a workspace as Write Only participants? In this use case participants would be able to upload content but not download content. The idea is to use a workspace as a dropbox for multiple participants where each Write Only participant cannot read the other Write Only participant's content.

Did you check the default workspace participant roles, if not have a look at it. User who got ability to upload content will be able to download content as well. I'm not aware of any ways by which we can restrict this.
ACL's can be used to selectively hide folders in a workspace. Have a look at the following documentation for setting folder level ACL's

Form results return to multiple recipient

Is there a way of allowing forms to return the collected information to multiple recipient?
I would love if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks a mil

You could build a process using Workbench that uses Forms and then send the information to multiple participants.
