New ASUG Workflow and BPM Chairperson

Allow me to introduce myself as the new ASUG Workflow and Business Process Management Chairperson. I am happy to be able to give some time back to ASUG to help promote SAP workflow and process automation as it has been a significant part of my career. I have been working with SAP or
using one of its many products since 1995. I started off as a workflow developer and then moved into IT management. During my career I have
implemented or used many SAP applications and have always been involved in process re-engineering. If you would like to learn a bit more about SAP workflow please check out our upcoming webcast on August 4 – Workflow Classics II. This is a follow up webcast that highlights out of the box SAP workflow automation capabilities and how easy it is to implement them. You must be an ASUG member to attend this event. The link to register is https://www.asug.com/events/detail/Workflow-Classics-II. If you are interested in learning more about workflow or even presenting on what you have accomplished using workflow feel free to reach out to me.

Please ask only one (or closely related) questions per thread. This makes it a lot easier to get a good structure in the database of previously answered questions. While we are on the subject of previously answered questions, I think you should have a look at them....
My suggestion is therefore:
1. Close this thread
2. Read the Frequently Answered Questions. Before you ask (here are many workflow answers)
3. Search the forum.
4. Create new threads if you have questions afterwards.

It's a XYZ stage. I have a COM dll to use it. I did an instrument from this dll and everything was working fine untill I uninstalled LabWindows. IVI shared components seems to be having problems as I coundn't uninstall it when I tried to do a clean reinstallation. Maybe the issue comes from there..
I am using the error variables and the error pop up does pop up but no other "system" error as IVIdll is missing or something like this..

I am new to workflow and I have and issue

Hi Experts,
I am very new to workflow and Ive got an issue which I need know where to start with.
I am working with an application whose UI is Java and back end is SAP.
When a sales order is created in the UI this creates a order record in SAP and triggers a business object which inturn calls the func module SWE_EVENT_CREATE for initiating the workflow.
The workflow sends a mail in which the data is coming wrong in the preview mode(i.e whn u single click on the message it appears at the bottom ) and when u double click on the message u can find correct info.Y its like that ?
Any ideas??
Neeraj

Hi,
Neeraj not in perticular that case but in every case when you click once it will appear at bottom and when you double click on it it gives you a pop p window which helps you to see whole message.
So,It's a functionality Dear nota problem.
Hope you understand.
Regards,
Purvesh.

BPM, Workflow and Netweaver - Need Clarification

Hi Guru,
I am new to workflow, BPM and Netweaver. I have several questions about those concepts.
1. What is/are the different between workflow and webflow. Which scenario should take workflow into consideration? Which scenario webflow can be applied to?
2. What is/are the different between workflow and BPM. If I am going to implement workflow in a company, do I need to implement business workflow as well as BPM?
3. I need clarification on Netweaver platform and concept.
4. What is/are the different between workflow in R/3 and workflow under Netweaver?
5. If I am going to implement workflow integrated with R/3 and Outlook email, do I need to buy new wrokflow for Netweaver and Netweaver platform or alternatively, I can use business workflow module under R/3 system?
Sorry for many questions asked. I am new to those products. I am now working on software selection for workflow technology. My company is going to implement new workflow to client. Thank you very much.
Cheers,

How to view and restore sharepoint 2013 designer workflows and how to redeploy with newer version to environments

how to view and restore sharepoint 2013 designer workflows and how to redeploy with newer version to environments
MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

Hi,
In SharePoint Designer 2010, we could not save the workflow as a template directly except the reusable workflow.
However, in SharePoint Designer 2013, we can just save all the types workflow as a template, then you can import the workflow into the new environment.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/workflows_for_product_catalogs/archive/2012/11/02/deploying-a-workflow-on-a-different-server.aspx
In SharePoint Designer 2013, every time we publish the workflow, we would get a newer version workflow, and the old workflow version would be overwritten.
So, when you deploy the workflow in the environment, the workflow would the newer version.
Thanks,
Jason

Workflow and Trigger Event

I am very new to workflow and I understnad some of the principles but just not clear of actually how to do it.
I created a workflow then sends an email. Its really simple.
I need to trigger the workflow using the swe-event_create function but the problem is that I don't know what object type, objectkey and most importantly the event to pass to the function to trigger the workflow. Do I pick an event from somewhere or create an event???

Yes, look at this:
KEY = imara-matnr.
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
   EXPORTING
     objtype                       = 'ZOBJCREDIT'
     objkey                        = KEY
     event                         = 'PROCESADO'
   EXCEPTIONS
     OBJTYPE_NOT_FOUND             = 1
     OTHERS                        = 2
in OBJTYPE i've creat a business object named ZOBJCREDIT and i create inside that BO an event call PROCESADO. You must craate your BO in the SWO1 transaction...

New to SAP XI BPM scenario File -- RFC -- File

Hi All,
I am new to SAP XI BPM,
My Scenario is : the input parameter for the RFC is sent through a file and the response from the RFC comes into XI which is then written into a file.
Here my dought is How many Container I have to create... and tell me what is use of Container...
Thanks & Regards
Siva

Well in short I would like to say is
A Conatiner is like a table whose structre is having two fields namely ELEMENT and VALUE so it is nearly similar to decalring variables in the general programming , but here in the workflow terms we call them as Container elements. and Conatiner is a place where all the defined variables are stored with Name/Value pair.
Now coming to the issue , the file which is imported from XI make sure that it has the structure as Name//Type/Value
Count the number of lines and create the conatiner dynamically by using the class CL_SWF_CNT_CONTAINER from the ABAP program it has lots of methods check it .

New mac mini and imac vs powermac G5 running FCP studio

I want to compare running the FCP suite on the new max minis and imacs that came out today vs what I am currently using:
Currently I am running FCP Studio on a Powermac G5 dual 2GHz with one gig of ram. I believe the frontside bus is 1GHz. I believe the stock video card isan ATI Radeon 9600 Pro (AGP 8X Pro) video card with 64 MB of DDR SDRAM.
With this being said, is it safe to assume that the new entry level mac mini would surpass my G5 in terms of performnce in both video (NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with128MB or 256MB of shared DDR3) memory processing (intel core2 duo 2GHz)?
If not would the two low end Imacs (using NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 256MB of shared DDR3 memory) and processing power handle FCP studio better than my current powermac G5 setup listed above?
I am wondering because I spoke to a apple sales person who transfered me to a system engineer that said I'd have a slow time rendering video on FCP with the mac minis as well as the 2 low end imacs. This may be but Im wondering if it is still better than what I am using
I appreciate your opinions, but please only answer if you really know,
Thanks!

For FCP/FCS I would not save on anything but will get the max what my budget allow. You will be always doing more and the workflow in FCS will entice you to open almost all apps in FCS concurrently to make use of the advanced features. I think that the new iMac are powerful enough to handle FCS, but once again, the extra dollars will save you alot of pain. FCS is a pro app and is not to be underestimated. Good luck.

Tapeless workflows and Sandy Bridge or other PC's: KISS or LOVE?

Tapeless workflows and Sandy Bridge or other PC's: KISS or LOVE?
Life used to be so simple when shooting video on a tape based camera. You shot your material, captured it for editing and stored your precious original footage on tape in a safe and dry place. Sure, it took time to capture, but the big advantage was that if you had a computer or drive failure, you would still have the original tape so everything could be recreated.
Now with tapeless workflows we have the significant advantage of much faster import of the original footage. Connect the flash card or disk drive to the computer over USB and copy the data to a HDD on the computer, ready for editing. The data on the flash card or disk drive can then be erased, so you can reuse it for more shots. But, like Johan Cruyff has said repeatedly, every advantage has its drawback. In this case it simply means that you no longer have the original material to fall back on, in case of computer or drive failures. That is a very unpleasant and insecure feeling.
The easy anwser to that problem is backups. Backup of the original media, backup of projects and backup of exports. This often means a bundle of externals for backup or NAS configurations. One thing is clear, it requires discipline to make regular backups and it costs time, as well as a number of disks. Four as a minimum: 1 for media, 1 for exports and at least 2 for projects. Note: This is excluding a backup drive for OS & programs.
There are different backup strategies in use. Some say backup daily and use one disk for monday, one for tuesday, and so on. Others say one disk for the first backup, the second for the second backup, then the first again for an incremental backup, etc. and once weekly a complete backup on a third disk. Whatever you choose, be aware that shelf live of a disk is far less than tape. There are horror stories everywhere about ball-bearings getting stuck after some time and without original tapes, you better be safe than sorry, so don't skimp on backups.
What is the relevancy of all this? I thought this was about Sandy Bridge and other PC's.
It is and let me try to explain.
Card based cameras are for the most part DSLR and AVCHD type cameras, and we all know how much muscle is required to edit that in a convenient way. Adobe suggests in the system requirements to use raid configurations for HD editing and practice has shown that raid arrays do give a significant performance boost and improve responsiveness, making for a nicer editing experience. The larger the project and the longer the time-line, the more a raid array will help maintain the responsiveness.
One thing you would not do is using a raid0 for projects, media and exports, even if you have backups. The simple reason is that the chance of disk failure multiplies by the number of disks in the raid0. Two disks double the chance of disk failure, three disks triple the chance, four disks quadruples the chance, etc.
Remember: Disaster always strikes when it is most inconvenient.
Imagine you have been working all day on a project, you decide to call it a day and to make your daily backup, but then the raid fails, before you made your backup. Gone is all of today's work. Then take into consideration the time and effort it takes to restore your backups to the state it was in yesterday. That does not make you happy.
Another thing to avoid is using a software or mobo based parity raid, for the simple reason that it is slooowww and puts a burden on the CPU, that you want to use for editing, not house keeping.
For temporary or easily recreated files, like the page-file, media cache, media cache database and preview files, it is very much advised to use a raid0. It makes everything a lot snappier and if disaster strikes, so what? These are easily recreated in a short time.
This was a general overview of what is required with tapeless workflows. Now let's get down to what this means in terms of system design.
Two approaches or train of thoughts
KISS: Keep it stupidly simple or LOVE: Laughing over video editing
The first one, the most economic one, is to use a system with 3 or 4 disks internally and 4 or more backup disks.
A typical disk setup can look like this:
This is a perfectly sensible approach if one does not have large or complex projects, long time-lines and is willing to take the risk of occasionally losing a whole days work, between backups. Many hobbyists and consumers fall in this category.
The KISS approach keeps it stupidly simple. The drawback is that there is no logical way to add more disks or storage. The discipline, diligence and effort required for regular backups make it far from a laughing matter. In fact it can quickly become a bore. Add to that the fact that the disk setup is simple but not very fast, so less suited for situations where lots of clips are involved, multi-cam is a regularly recurring situation or lots of video tracks are involved.
A number of video editors want more from their system than the occasional platonic KISS, they want to really LOVE their system, which lead to the other train of thought.
This is more costly than the KISS approach, but you all know a fiancée or wife is more costly and dear than the occasional kiss on the cheek by an old friend.
Let's start with a typical disk setup. It may look like this:
Two striking differences in comparison to the KISS approach:
1. Much easier disk organization and more disks and thus more space.
2. It requires a hardware raid controller, causing a higher investment cost. It is like an engagement ring. You don't get LOVE for free, one of the guiding principles of the oldest trade in the world.
These are easy statements to make, but what are the benefits or advantages, that you would fall in LOVE with such a system, and what are the drawbacks? Think back to Johan Cruyff's adage.
The only drawback is cost. The advantages are multiple, easier organization, more speed, more storage, snappier editing, no jerkiness, lesser requirements for regular backups and - this is the major benefit - hardly a chance of losing a day's work in case of a drive failure. Keep in mind that a parity raid keeps all your data intact in case of a drive failure, so lessens the need for up-to-date backups.
We all know, we get what we pay for: "If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. OTOH, if you pay money to monkeys, you get rich monkeys". But in this case you get what you pay for, a much better editing experience with a much easier workflow.
Using a parity raid (be it raid 3/5/6/30/50/60) you get security, ease of mind that you are protected against losing precious media, that you need not worry about the last time you made a backup, that the editing you did today may be lost and you save valuable time editing and a lot of aggravation because of a much more responsive system.
How does this all relate to Sandy Bridge and other PC's?
First of all, the price difference between a Sandy Bridge / P67 platform and an i7-950+ / X58 platform is very small. Of course the new architecture is slightly more expensive than the older one, but the differences are small, almost not worth talking about.
So what are the differences? Look below:
The first thing to keep in mind is that the Sandy Bridge is the successor of the i7-8xx CPU and as such it is much more evolutionary than revolutionary. The CPU power has increased significantly over the i7-8xx due to new architecture and a smaller production process (32 nm), but in essence all the capabilities have remained unchanged. Same memory, same PCI-e lanes, same version, same L3 cache and no support for dedicated raid controllers.
It is great that the processor performs much better than the older i7-8xx CPU's, almost achieving the level of the i7-9xx range of processors, but is still limited:
The Sandy Bridge is unsuitable for anything more than a KISS system.
Why? Because it lacks the required PCI-e lanes to accomodate more than a 16 x PCI-e nVidia card with CUDA support to enable hardware MPE acceleration and the integrated graphics are not supported by CS5.
You may wonder if that is a bad thing. The plain and simple anser is NO. It is a great processor, it delivers great value for money, is a solid performer, but it has its limitations. Intel had a reason to position this CPU as a mid-level CPU, because that is what it is, a mid-level performer in comparison to what is to come.
The term mid-level performer may seem strange when compared to the old generation of i7-9xx CPU's, because they perform almost equally well, but keep in mind that there is a generation difference between them.
So what about the i7-9xx and X58 platform?
It still is going strong. About the same performance as a Sandy Bridge, with only the much more expensive hexa-cores clearly in the lead, both performance and price wise. The quad cores deliver about the same value for money. The main difference however is the platform that allows a dedicated raid controller to be installed, thus making it the platform of choice for those who want to go from a passing KISS to true LOVE.
And what lies ahead?
Sandy Bridge E on the Waimea platform (X68). Now that is revolutionary. More than double almost everything a processor can offer: double the cores, double the PCI-e lanes, triple the memory, more than double the L3 cache, increase the PCI-e support from 2.0 to 3.0, etc...
This is why Intel calls this a high-end CPU / platform.
So what now?
If you prefer a KISS approach, choose either a Sandy Bridge/P67 or an i7-950+/X58 platform.
If you wonder whether in the future you may need multi-cam more frequently, edit more complex projects and longer timelines or even progress to RED, look at KISS/LOVE solutions, meaning the i7-950+/X58.
If you can't have downtime, time pressure is high, delivery dates to clients are critical or you edit highly complex projects, lots of multi-cam situations or lengthy time-lines, choose a LOVE solution, an i7-950+/X58 platform.
If you have the time to wait till Q4/2011, Sandy Bridge E/Waimea looks to be worth the wait.
Hope this gives you some more insight into recent and future developments and helps you make wise investment decisions.

I'm upgrading from an AMD 3800+, cutting with Vegas 7 Pro. Usually shoot DSLR or HDV, sometimes P2, EX or RED. I have ridiculously cheap access to Macs, FCP/FCS, all kinds of software.
I've been agonizing over this for the last month, was originally hoping the UD7 mobo was the solution, read the read about the NF200/PCIe issue a few days ago, http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/non-linear-editing-pc/489424-i7-980x-now-wait-sandybridge-2.ht ml- and still decided to go for a 2600k.
My preference is to treat my video footage the same way as my digital imagery: I make (at least) duplicate back ups of everything before reformatting the cards, never delete the back ups, and only worry about the day-to-day stuff at night. Unless I'm rendering or involved in other long processes, in which case I'll back up the work in process the next day. If I am under a really really tight deadline I might back up as I go.
Yes, a RAID might make it easier, but I'm paranoid enough to prefer a slower, safer backup. You can always duplicate, and usually improve upon, a days work, but you can never get back original footage you lost. I have only ever had one hard drive die on me (a few enclosures crapped out, though)- it took a couple of (mostly unattended) hours to rectify. As a matter of act, I've had far more loss/damage from tapes than from hard drives.
I ordered the UD7, 2 F4s and 4 F3Rs, understanding I will probably want to upgrade to SBE when it comes out, or maybe next year. The 2600k/mobo/RAM will likely hold its value better than a 950/X58, likely because of the marketplace as much as merit.
The UD7 / RAID card issue is in it's early days, there may be a solution/mitigation. Probably not. But if I really really need a RAID card, then I probably really really need a 980, NAS, etc etc.
But Harm still rocks!

ZBUS2032 not shown in workflow and status in SWEL- no receiver entered

I am trying to change an existing workflow(This one has the standard BO- BUS2032 linked). Now I am trying to link the same workflow to a custom BO(ZBUS2032) copied from BUS2032. This custom BO is generated, released, delegated. I have maintained the default values as
Method = DISPLAY and
Attribute = SALESDOCUMENT
Created an entry in SWE2 for ZWBUS2032 with
Object type = ZWBUS2032
EVENT = CREATED
RECEIVER = WS90000014
Receiver call = FM
Receiver FM = SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT
checked the linkage activated checkbox and left the rest AS-IS
In the workflow side,
In the task screen- I added the task number that has (ZBUS2032 and the new method), specified the triggering events and binded, event is green. When I click on Define binding autom. it shows
WIOBJECT_ID = &ZBUS203&
In the actual event
I added the Object type to ZBUS2032 and the event as CREATED, clicked on start condition and specified the SALES document type condition but it doesn't go green.
When I click on the binding, on the right hand side of the new window where the workflow parameters are there, it still shows BUS2032 instead of ZBUS2032
No errors, I activated. When I hit the test, it still shows BUS2032.
When I do the process through front end and check SWEL, it says No receiver entered.
I am new to Workflow. Kindly please advice.
Regards,
Kiran

Hi,
What are you trying to do with the ZBUS2032?
IIf you create a new task that should call a new method (in ZBUS2032), if you enter BUS2032 as object type and then select the method, are you able to see the new method in the selection list? If yes, that would mean that you have delegated the ZBUS2032 properly. (=You have kind of extended the usage of the standard BUS2032 with the new Z-version).
You could also add some new attributes to your ZBUS2032. If you are able to see them in workflow builder or in the workflow log, this would also mean that the delegation has been done properly. (I just hope that you did the subtype in a way that Rick tried to describe).
In general I hope that you have tested your new functionality (method or attribute) directly in SWO1. If it works there, it should then work in the workflow too. I would be interested to know how you came into conclusion that ZBUS2032 is not working as it should? Do you see an error or what?
Regards,
Karri

IPhoto 08 and Photoshop - suggestions on workflow and managing PSD files

Hi Everyone,
I'm a long-time Photoshop user, and a recent convert to Mac (BTW - I love my new Mac), therefore I am also new to iPhoto 08. I must say that I actually enjoy how iPhoto manages my pictures, as it is not all that different from how I've been managing my pics manually for years (by year, by event, etc.). I've read the various discussion topics on how to set up and use Photoshop as an external editor from iPhoto, and have not had any problems up to now.
I'm now looking for suggestions on workflow and managing my PSD files. I apologize if this is a little long, but I want to make sure I explain the problem clearly. Here's the scenario:
- From iPhoto, I choose to edit an existing JPEG file in the external editor, Photoshop.
- I perform my edits (including advanced edits with layers etc.)
- I do both a "Save As..." and a "Save". That way, I "Save" the flattened JPEG back to my iPhoto library properly, and "Save As..." a PSD file in case I want to do further edits on the image later (days, weeks, months later).
I'm looking for suggestions on where to put my PSDs. For now, I am saving the PSD to my desktop (using max compatibility), and then importing the PSD into my iPhoto library (into the same Event as the original JPEG). However, this leaves me with 2 copies of the same picture: 1 JPEG, and 1 PSD.
The problem is, I now want to go back and do more tweaks on the PSD, the end result of which will make the JPEG version out-of-date. I can either
1) Open both the PSD and JPEG versions at the same time, tweak the PSD, then copy and paste the flattened layers on top of the JPEG version and "Save"
2) Open only the PSD, tweak, and save a copy as a JPEG onto my desktop and re-import into iPhoto.
Although a little tedious, both options seem to work. Are there any other options? What do you suggest? I'm curious to see how others manage this.

I don't have a solution for you (sorry) but I'd like to comment because I'm in a similar boat. However instead of saving PSD files to the desktop, I've been advised to save these to TIFF format in Photoshop by a professioal photographer friend of mine (I think he feels its a more universal file format than PSD for archival purposes). The downside is the files are huge.
I imported high resolution jpegs into iPhoto. I then use Photoshop to edit and save the flattened jpeg version back to iPhoto (thankfully, keywords are preserved this way). I recently realized that I need to save a copy of the edited file in a lossless format like TIFF or PSD. Unfortunately when I save the file to TIFF and import it back into iPhoto, keywords are lost. This is a drag.
What I am trying to figure out is how I can retain my keyword info in the edited archival version. Any tips?
I'm beginning to question whether I should import my photos in to Photoshop (or PS Bridge) first, save the original for archival purposes, do the majority of editing and save a TIFF/PSD file and then import this file into iPhoto for keywording, further editing, downsizing, etc.

Workflow and General Use Questions

Hello,
I'll apologize right off the bat for these novice question because I'm sure the information is probably somewhere in the forum, I just haven't been able to find it. I just purchased Aperture after completing the demo as my library is getting too large to manage using standard file folders. I'm now trying to figure out the best practices for workflow and general use before I invest some serious time into importing and keywording all my pictures.
1) Store files in the there current location, or in the Aperture Library? It seems to me that once they are moved to the Aperture library, you can only access them from within Aperture. I'm thinking I would be better off leaving them in their current location. For one, if I want to quickly grab a picture as an attachment to an email or something it seems easier to grab it from the standard folders. Second (and more important) I do not have room to keep all my pictures on my Macbook, thus most of them are stored on the Time Capsule.
So... Keeping photos in their current location appears to be the best choice for me even though it adds an additional step every time I bring in new photos from my camera. Does this sound right?
2) Is there a way to mark the photos that I have uploaded to my website (Smugmug)? Ideally, I would like to badge photos that have already been uploaded so I can quickly recognize them and ensure I'm not duplicating. I've considered using the rating, or keywords to indicate that a photo has been uploaded but both methods have disadvantages.
3) Any suggestions for general workflow and organization resources (tutorials, books, websites, etc.)? I've looked at the videos on Apple's site but they obviously didn't get that detailed.
Thanks for the help, sorry for the length.

I recommend to Manage by Reference with Master image files stored on external hard drives (note that Aperture defaults to a Managed-Library configuration rather than a Referenced-Masters Library). Especially important for iMacs and laptops with a single internal drive. The workflow as described below in an earlier post of mine uses a Referenced-Masters Library.
I feel pretty strongly that card-to-Aperture or camera-to-Aperture handling of original images puts originals at unnecessary risk. I suggest this workflow, first using the Finder (not Aperture) to copy images from CF card to computer hard drive:
• Remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into a memory card reader. Faster readers and faster cards are preferable.
• Finder-copy images from memory card to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive.
• Eject memory card.
• Burn backup hard drive or DVD copies of the original images (optional strongly recommended recommended backup step).
• Eject backup hard drive(s) or DVDs.
• From within Aperture, import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location." This is called "referenced images." During import is the best time to also add keywords, but that is another discussion.
• Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing in Aperture).
• Reformat memory card in camera, and archive originals off site on hard drives and/or on DVDs.
Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media/backups.
Also note with a Referenced-Masters Library that use of the "Vault" backup routine backs up the Library only, not the Masters. Masters should be separately backed up, IMO a good thing from a workflow and data security standpoint.
Max out RAM in your MB and keep the internal drive less than 70% full.
Good luck!

Replace AR Credit Memo Request Workflow with a new Custom Workflow

Hello friends,
We have a business requirement to replace the AR Credit Memo Request Workflow with a new Custom Workflow whenever an Invoice is disputed (Oracle Advanced Collections).
The Credit Memo Request workflow is being launched within the Oracle API arw_cmreq_cover. We thought of an approach wherein the Oracle form IEXINDTL.fmb can be renamed and the Custom workflow to be called in the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger on Dispute Button instead of calling the program Unit IEXINDTL_CONTROL.DISPUTE (as in standard form) which inturn calls several API's and hence the AR Credit Memo Request Workflow. But this would override the other standard processes being carried out in these API's. Our requirement is to only replace the AR Credit Memo Request Workflow and not to override the other standard processes.
Does anyone have come across the similar requirement? Please let us know your inputs.
Thanks in Advance !

I ran across the same error today. Since it's been over a month, I assume you've fixed it already or decided you didn't need it at all? What was your fix?
For me, I noted that in the sample directory, a similar "createView" call (in End User Anonymous Enrollment) also includes this argument:
<Argument name='viewId' value='User'/>
When I added that to my createView call, the "Missing view id" error went away, and the user are gets created.
I'm not entirely comfortable with the value specified, though; seems like view IDs should be more unique. I would have thought it should have been something like this instead:
<Argument name='viewId' value='User:$(accountId)'/>
