Multiple workflow columns are creating when the workflow is started

Hi,
I have created the workflow based on "Document" content type and have deployed and associated it to it's children content types(CT1, CT2, CT3), Later i have added documents(Doc1 based on CT1, Doc2 based on CT2, Doc3 based on CT3) in the document
library and run the workflow and they are running fine.
But the problem is that, whenever i run the workflow on the new document which is based on different content type than earlier, then a new "workflow status"column is getting created instead of using the already existing workflow status column.
This behavior is happening only when i tried to associate workflow from code and when i manually associate directly in the site it works fine.
Does anyone know how I would go about this?

Hi Chakradhar,
According to your description, my understanding is that a same workflow status column was created when running workflow on a new document.
Did you re-publish and re-associate multiple versions of workflow to the content type?
If yes, then multiple workflow status columns would be created on the SharePoint List.
In addition, if we ever delete the workflow association to the content type or list and re-associate later to the content type or list, workflow status columns created by the previous association gets left behind.
I recommend to make sure that the workflow has not been re-published and re-associated.
You can delete the extra Workflow Status Column in the list:

Approval Preview when the workflow is finished

Hello,
We have implemented the BADI to get multiple level approvals in Shopping Carts. When we display the approvers via Approval Preview the system works fine if the workflow is in process, but when the workflow is finished we donu2019t display anything.
We have SRM 4.00 and the support package SAPKIBKS13 for SRM_SERVER 500
Thanks in advance, Juan Manuel

Hi,
Please check for following excrepts from SAP help sites:
1. OSS Note 1093840, content here may help to debug.
2. You are using ad hoc agent objects to determine your agents, do not use rules directly as this limits the functionality
    available especially during approval preview and can have knock on effects in the display
3. Mark any steps you have added that are not approval steps as "step not     in workflow log" - the applet display is based on
   the graphical workflow log and unexpected steps can cause unexpected effects in the applet display
4. Make sure you follow the same pattern based approach if you are adding extra approval steps, e.g. make sure the approval
    step itself has the same group name as the other approval steps
Also additionaly check for workflow log(SWi6) . If WF is working fine.
Thanks

Workflow options are disabled in the sidekick for non-administrators

We have a custom workflow for content approval. The first step in the workflow assigns the task to the workflow initiator.
While testing the workflow, the initiation is successful and also the first task is assigned to the initiator. But when the initiator open the task and the content attached to the workflow opens in the content finder the workflow options are not available in the sidekick. It just says "
This page is subject to workflow:
TxDOT Content Approval Workflow
Under Workflow Package it says - "Unable to add to a package because of a running workflow."
Any idea why the workflow options to complete, step back, and delegate are not available? These options are available to the author by right-clicking on the task in the Inbox. Just not available in the sidekick.

Sham,
This is the strange part of the issue. The content is attached to the workflow and the task is also assigned to the user. I have verified this from the worklfow instances. Yet, these options are not available in the sidekick. However, these options are available in the right-click menu in Inbox.

What are the .fm.sp files that are created when using SharePoint?

What are the .fm.sp files that are created when using SharePoint? When I'm working with SharePoint, I've noticed that duplicate files ending in .fm.sp are created. I've been unable to find any reference or documentation about them so far.

Whe you use sharepoint as a CMS connections in Framemaker it creates the folder where Sp is installed and also a file ending .sp is created that let SP know that its the file associated with it.
.fm.sp indicates that its the framemaker type SP file.
Dont worry about it as its not creating any mess in the system.

Workflow Error Message: System Account - The Workflow could not set Content Approval Status

This is the first time I try an approval workflow. I am using a template in MS Word and assigned an approval workflow to it. The approval workflow is only going to one person in this case.
When I start the work flow the following 3 error messages show up:
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The Workflow could not set Content Approval Status. Enable content moderation for this list and run the workflow again.
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the e-mail has a valid recipient.
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
Thank you for your kind guidance.

Hi,
For the first error: Did you set Content Approval in the workflow? If so, see if you have it in the versioning settings of the list settings.
For the second error: double check your recipient is set up as being valid. Did you type in the email address or is it referring to a people picker field? also, make sure that in the workflow for the email that you actually populated it in the
To: field.
for the third error: I suspect that either your farm is not configured for email. Or, this error is a knock on from the second error. If you get the second error rectified it may clear this error. If not then double check the email settings
for your farm.

None of the fact sources for [column] are compatible with the detail filter

Hi Experts,
I am using obiee 11.1.1.7.
Getting below error when i add a filter of non conformed dimension column.
Below is the error
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 14023] None of the fact sources for [column] are compatible with the detail filter
Please help in solving an issue.

Hi NN
You need to follow steps in below link to model your BMM layer for the report to work with non confirmed dimensions.
http://obibb.wordpress.com/2010/05/31/multiple-fact-reporting-on-non-conforming-dimensions/
Once you have followed these steps you can use the non confirmed dimension in the reports.When you see the logs to see the query generated by obiee,it generated 2 queries 1 with confirmed dimension and other with non conformed dimension.When you filter using non confirmed dimension you will now not notice any error but the results will not be filtering out because the filter will be applied only in 1 query which is valid
Now for this to work what you can do is ,instead of using the filter drag the column you like to filter as a prompt in your view.default it to the value you need using the case statement and hide it.This is one of the work around.
There may be many other work arounds for this but you need to understand that for you requirment to work you need to tweek OBIEE to generate 1 query instead of 2 queries.

What indexes are created when we check dimension as line item.

What indexes are created when we check dimension as line item.
and also What indexes are created when we check dimension as high cardinality.
Where can i see that information in the system.
Answers are highly appreciated.
Regards
Kunal

Hi,
Line item means it does not have any dimension table.
High Cardinality means that the dimension is to have a large number of instances (that is, a high cardinality). Also, it is very important to indentify the line item dimension properly. E.g. Sales Order number, this will have the exact number of entries as the fact table entries. Hence, this can be created as a line item dimension. If you are not sure of high cardinality never select that. Activate this function when the dimension has is at least 10%- 20% the size of the fact table (in terms of the number of records). <b>In this case, B tree indices are created instead of bitmap indices.</b>. By default it is BITMAP but with high cardinality it is B-Tree indexing.
Hope this helps.

Facebook columns are shifted to the right

This happens only on facebook, all the columns are shifted to the right side of the page. I've check FB's web site for help but its hard to find any answers. Im using most updated XP Home, and running FF 6.0.1. This does not happen when I use I.E. however.
I listed my profile address but not sure you can view it.

Hi I started this particular conversation and I just fixed FB format. I changed the font on Western to 14 and the default to 18. FB went back to normal!

Why some extra XML tags are created when viewed a XML in Adobe Illustrator with Esko plugin?

We see some extra XML tags are created when viewing a XML in Adobe Illustrator with Esko plugin. Why these extra lines are created ?

Hi Graffiti,
Thanks so much for your resply. I am happy to say that the problem has been fixed by my customer updating her version of Adobe Reader 9 to the latest version. I had sent her a few suggestions on how to try to fix the problem including that one from info I had read on the forum etc.. and that was the solution that worked. I am so relieved that I was able to fix the problem and to answer your question the blank pages were only graphics no text but they were the only pages that the graphics took up the whole page. I thought that was strange and had her change a setting in preferences for printing large images a solution I read in the forum but it did not work.

Where to see activities, which are created for the campaign with target group

Hi
I have created a Communication Method in SPRO -> CRM -> Marketing -> Marketing Planning & Campaign Management -> Campaign Executtion - Define Communication Method : Activity has been configured
Activities are not appearing after creation of campaign with target group.
Where to see activities, which are created for the campaign with target group?
Regards
Hamid

Hello,
alternatively to check table CRMD_ORDERADM_H directly you can use the related transactions search for the campaign:
This should bring all activities generated by the campaign. If this is empty first check the job log of the campaign execution job again:
This gives information if any target group members have business transactions created. If the log does not contain the required information you can debug from SM37. The business transactions (activities, leads, sales orders) are generated from function module CRM_MKTTGGRP_PROC_CREATE.

TS3092 My Apple bluetooth wireless keyboard caps lock keeps changing so that sometimes the caps are on when the lights on and sometimes the caps are on when the light is off. How do I control this?

My caps lock keeps changing. That is, sometimes the caps are locked and the light is on the key and sometimes the caps are on when the light is off. It changes without my knowing it. Also when I hold the shift key down I hear a double click noise which changes the keys in some way. How do I get it to not change?

Try resetting SMC and NVRAP and then reboot.

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
Try booting the Recovery Partition. Power off, boot and then hold down the Command and R keys. Is the screen still black? If so it is not a software problem so take it in for diagnosis and repairs. Make a Genius Bar reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country .
If you are running Mavericks try upgrading to 10.9.2. It has a fix for black screen problems.

I have ensured that the colours are all CMYK and tried different adjustments like preserving the numbers and the like but nothing is working. It prints properly on my inkjet and has displayed properly on different computers.
