MSMP Work flow in GRC 10.0

Hi Experts,
I have a work flow requirement and would appreciate if you guys can please help me here . The actual requirement is to design a CUP Workflow and If there are SOD issues identified, the workflow will need to go to a central team for them to address each issue. If there is no SOD issue found, the workflow should end. The requirement is to configure the access request so that the end goal of work flow is just facilitation of an SOD review. There would be no actual provisioning of users at the end of the path.
I am wondering if this would work flow can be initiated with an function module based rule or i would have to create a BRF Rule for this . As per my understanding the flow should be Start > Access Request > Sod Analysis done > If Sod , Go to Central team otherwise end > Central team will decide on the assignment of SoD Resolution > This Team will either Assign MC or wont approve the Role assignment > Both Cases the work flow ends and request is closed.
Would really appreciate if you guys can assist me as i am new to work flow and this is one of project deliverables . Thank for your valuable time and help .

Hi Ashish ,
Thanks for your time . Let me explain you my requirement and would really appreciate if you would have some inputs here which would help me to design this .
The actual client requirement is to design a CUP Workflow and If there are SOD issues identified, the workflow will need to go to a central team for them to address each issue. If this group decides to apply mitigating controls to the issues, the workflow must then go to the compliance group for them to review for appropriateness. Requirement is do a SoD analysis for every role change/add request , so that this group takes the appropriate action based on the SoD Analysis . For all my CUP request raised , i want system to do a SoD analysis and let this group know whenever there is a SoD found or just end the workflow if there is no risk.
I am aware of the Risk analysis process for GRC 10.0 , however i want it to happen as a part of this work flow requirement.
The requirement is to configure the access request work flow so that the end goal of work flow is just facilitation of an SOD review. I hope i was able to explain my requirement . Thanks again for your help.
Your valuable guidance would be really appreciated.

Can we reprocess the already completed work flow

Hi Work flow experts,
I am having an issue with custom work flow which is for Employee Issue Tracker.
Work Flow in brief
When an employee raises an issue through portal, in back end a Ztable record with some Request Number will be created and will start the custom work flow.
First a mail will be sent to the concerned HR Person who has to resolve the issue and then a work item will be sent to the same HR person.
If the person does not responds to that work item with in 3 days, that work item will be escalated and will be sent to his superior along with a mail,Superior will give instructions and then the work item will be sent back to the same HR person.
If HR Person resolves the employees issue and process his work item, then work item will be sent to the concerned employee who raised the issue.
Then finally emploee can close the issue or he can reopen the same issue.In case of closing the work flowwill be completed there. But in case of reopening the same issue,the process from the begining will continue again.
My Issue
In Production System, in some cases HR Persons are receiving mails but when they go to their work flow inbox there are no work Items.Some Superiors are receiving mails about the escalations, but when they go to their work flow inbox there are no work items.It is not happening for all cases, but only 2 to 3 cases out of 200 to 300 cases.
As I am very new to work flow,I am not able to even find out the issue by seeing the completed work flow of those abnormal cases
When I run the whole process in Production system, Complete work flow went fine.I have tested for almost 5 to 6 times and I found no Issue.
So is there any thing like reprocessing the completed workflow and then debugging those abnormal cases.
Or Can any one suggest me in some other way that could help me out.
As this is a production Issue, Almost per day they will have around 300 to 400 cases.

Hello,
No, you can't reprocess completed worflows. But you can create a new one with the same input, if it makes sense to do so.
You say:
"In Production System, in some cases HR Persons are receiving mails but when they go to their work flow inbox there are no work Items.Some Superiors are receiving mails about the escalations, but when they go to their work flow inbox there are no work items."
Ths is not necssarily a problem. It could be that someone else has processed that workitem, or that the workflow was terminated because it received a terminating event. Starting with the emails they received, work backwards and find the workflow referred to and look in its log to see what happened. It's also possible the workflow went into eror - check SWI2_DIAG.

Creating work flow

Hi all,
i am new to Work flow,
can any body tell me how can i trigger the work flow from my abap program, and how can i send the required details from the program to W/F ?
kumar

hi Narin,
i am new to WF,
it was not clear, actually i want to integrate the work flow with BPM in PI (Process Integration 7.0.
i am trying to create WF part in the SAP R/3, for the the Aproval part, because PI 7.0 doesnt have the feature User decision. So i am trying to push the data of Leave details to the WF and trigger the WF in the R/3 through a proxy program.
For creating Work flow, is Bussiness Object needed? What is the use of it, but i dont have any Business object for my Leave details, What to do?
My actual thought is,
1. create srcreen in SAP R/3, which has all the relevent fields of Leave details like emp_id, start date, end date, leave balance. i will put user commands(push buttons) like Approve, Reject, change.
In Wf this screen should apear with the leve fields with the corresponding values and push buttons.
once the manager or aprover clicks any the push buttons, in the next step the corresponding action should be done.
in this, is it possible to put the logic to capture the status of the WF like approved or Rejected? and send it back to the program in which this WF called?
Is it possible? or is there any alternative solution?
here in this i have query, how can i proceed? and what are the pre requisits to create WF?( like Busines Objects, triggring events, sep sequences, contaner elements, data base tables and structures etc.) and how do i create it?
can you give me the code? and Tcodes, to maitain events, etc....
can anybody help me?
thanks,
kumar

QM WORK FLOW

Sir,
I have created a notification with concern with production order now i want pass this information to production manger/MRP controller through SAP Work Flow
what are the setting we want to do for that
I am very new to Work Flow concept
Thanks in Advance
Faisal

Hi Faisal,
Whether you want to send system generated email to concerned users?
1.     If yes you can do so with the help of action box provided at right hand side in quality notifications.
2.     Qcc0 > Quality notifications >Notification processing >Additional notification functions > Define action box >Define Functions for the Action Box > Select your notification type and double click on activities > Select send mail option and click on detail (CtrlShiftF2)
3.     There you find option as FM when saving. Use either standard function module.
4.     Better you develop your own FM for this in order to capture required details. You may need to seek ABAP help here.
5.     You may use usersu2019 email ID filed that is displayed in SU01 tcode.
6.     As soon as you click on send mail option, system will send email to concerned users.
Make sure with your basis consultant that required setting for sending mail have been in place.

Shell Creation does also copie : Job's; Work flow ...

Hi all
We will do a shell creation to manage our Development system ( like kill all old rubbish ).
my question we will do a shell creation from our Productive system
Shell Creation does also copies follows:
JOB's -> if no we have 400 Jobs how could i copies these to our "new" System
Work flow / Plan version ->if no what could i do?
Code Inspector ->if no what could i do?
Variants -> if no i could transport wit the report for export Variant ( OSS )
ABAP Version i know its not transported we have to export but know SAP if we import the Version file that some ABAPs miss ( because we don't want )
Thanks in Advance

> Work flow / Plan version ->if no what could i do?

All this will be part of the shell system. It's basically your production system without any transactional data.
> ABAP Version i know its not transported we have to export but know SAP if we import the Version file that some ABAPs miss ( because we don't want )
How should "SAP know" that?

Optimizing work flow in FCP on new iMac? (dropped frames)

Hello-
I've recently purchased a new iMac, first in about 6 years. I'm looking for some advice about optimizing my work flow in FCP. I am largely self-taught, using FCP for hobbyist/amateur video.
Until this new computer, I have been using FCP on other people's Macs (schools, arts institutions, etc), only resorting to my old Powerbook when absolutely necessary. So I have not had to worry about performance issues until now.
I am shooting on a Kodak Zi8 pocket cam in 1080p HD .MOV files, 1920x1080 H.264, AAC audio.
In my first attempts at editing the footage, I find that I am getting dropped frames on playback at every edit point - any time I cut between shots, add titles, etc.
(I also tried editing some much smaller, compressed files (QT 854x480, H.264, AAC audio) in the timeline and had the frame drop problem.)
Also, when I add titles, they do not preview render - I have to render them completely to be able to playback.
When I allow FCP to change the sequence settings to match the clip, I get the following:
1920 x 1080
Aspect: HDTV 1080i (16:9)
Pixel Aspect: Square
Field Dominance: Upper (Odd)
Editing Timebase: 29.97
In this instance I am editing footage that is stored on the local HD, but I have also tried editing footage from a USB 2.0 external drive, and got the same dropped frame problem.
...its a little frustrating to get these performance issues on this new computer, so I hope that someone here can help me resolve some of my problems. Hopefully this is a work flow issue, but if its a lack of hardware, well, shame on me for not looking into it enough.
thanks in advance.

Hi -
H.264 is a recording and delivery format, but as you have discovered, it is very difficult to edit. Its qualities of recording a high quality image in a small file size, which make it attractive for use in Flash based camcorders, makes it very difficult for FCP to work with. Attempting to work in H.264 makes FCP drop frames, require constant rendering, etc.
The best solution is to convert your footage to an edit friendly file format, such a ProRes LT or AIC. There will be minimal impact on the quality of the image. This conversion will result in files that are much larger than your original files, but will work easily in FCP.
You don't say if you have FCS or just FCP, but if you do have FCS then you can use Compressor to do the conversion.
Hope this helps.

How to reflect new changes in older instance of work flow?

Hi All,
I am working on a custom workflow.
This workflow is triggered by web dynpro component.
Earlier my custom infotype was getting updated from web dynpro, and work flow is used to maintain process flow.
But currently we started facing some authorization issue while updating infotypes for approvers.
So now i introduced an activity in work flow to update this infotype from work flow using WF_Batch
(calling method of a class to update the infotype), and commented the code to update infotype from web dynpro.
Now the problem is, i have few requests raised using older version of work flow,
in which the activity to update infotype was not there.
New requests are working fine, infotype is getting updated using work flow.
But in older requests when i am viewing from SWIA that new activity to update infotype is not visible.
How can i implement the changes to older instances of work flow?
Because for older requests in web dynpro also there is no code to update infotype as well as in older work flow instance
my activity to update infotype is not visible.
Waiting for help.....
Regards,
Amar

Hi Amar,
The changes will be reflected for new instances that are created after the transport of the new workflow definition.
The instances of old definition will continue as it is.
However a workaround could be that you can end the old definition instances by logically deleting them and start new workflow by T code SWUS or generating event by SWUE and go through the whole process again.
Re- triggering of the workflow seems to be only solution here .
Hope this helps.

CAD Enterprise Data Association to new work flow

On cad 7.5 ver wanted to know how to associate an new Enterprise Data created to a Work Flow which is not the default.I presenlty have to edit the default Ent Data from Desktop Admin Console to have it reflected on the Agent Desktop.The agent desktop looks like the one attached.Is there a way also to change the names of the ICM Call Variable1 displayed on the agent desktop giving some appropriate name but using ICM Call Variables backend.

I don't know of a way - everyone does it as follows:
Create the ECC variable as (for example) userMyCADVariable and MyCADVariable will be available in Enterprise Data. On the ICM side, copy the contents of the PV into the ECC variable.
Why would this not be OK for you?
On the layouts - the normal way is to define an ECC variable for the layout - say userCADLayout and delete Ent Var 252. Then add CADLayout as 252. In ICM, as you go through the script you can set userCADLayout to (say) "Foo" and create a layout Foo in CAD.
This is all documented - now that you know what to look for, you will be able to understand the CAD Guide.

Geoff
