Check your workflow definition to see what is wrong. Also analyze the technical log.

Or as you will have found from your other thread, reset the buffers. Please try to be more clear when you ask a question and try to give as much information as possible.

Workflow Questions - How to execute the steps in a workflow automatically?

I am using MDM 5.5 SP6.
My Question is how to execute the steps in the workflow automatically. That means NO user interaction.
I have a simple workflow, Start- Process -- Syndicate - Stop.
When a new record added /updated/inserted this workflow will start automatically. The workflow inbox, the workflow status is u2018Receivedu2019 Step is u2018Processu2019. Now I have to right click on the record then u2018Next Stepu2019 then click on u2018Syndicateu2019 then workflow completes automatically.
How to execute the Syndication step automatically?. I donu2019t want to have any user interaction to syndicate these records.
Is this possible?
The reason for this is I want to do some field validation and based on the field validation some assignments then then I want to syndicate these records without user interaction..

Hi,
If you want to do some validations and then based on result assignments on some of the fields before syndicating, then you have to use workflow. Only syndication server will not fulfill this requirement.
you may try by making validation's automatic property as "Error". This way it will not allow to add any record not fulfilling validation. You can also try using calculated fields instead of assignment.
I am not sure if you can make your workflow fully automatic, because atleast one process step is must for any workflow, and process step means user action.

Could not execute the css file

Hi,
I have this code:
named: email11.java
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;

session.setAttribute("message", message);
RequestDispatcher dispatcher =
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(
"/email11/join_email_list.jsp");
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
connectionPool.freeConnection(connection);
and this code in jsp file:
named: show_email_entry.jsp
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

</mma:users>

</body>
</html>
This is the css file code that I like to apply to the show_email_entry.jsp
named: Displaydata.css
This rules are for background color for data display
/*td.column{
background-color: #f0f8ff;
background-color: #fffacd;
td.headerColumn{
background-color: #daa520;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: sans-serif,Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;
font-size: 10pt;
td.column{
font-family: sans-serif,Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;
font-size: 10pt;
white-space: nowrap;
background-color: #fffacd;
a{
text-decoration: none;
h1{
color: red;
They are working fine. However, it just does not execute the css file in the show_email_entry.jsp. Another word, the headerColumn should show some color as I coded it in the css file. But it shows only white background and black text. I have the file named DisplayData.css in the same directory as the file named show_email_entry.jsp. But it still does not work.
if I create a test.jsp and use with the DisplayData.css file above then it would work fine. But when I used it with the servlet file, then it would not work.
Anyone knows why ?

Global succession updates are limited to 500 relationships. If more than 500 exist PLM presents a warning message and does not execute the update

Global succession updates are limited to 500 relationships. If more than 500 exist PLM presents a warning message and does not execute the update.
How/Where to increase the relationship count?
The message which I can see :
Warning:
This specification has exceeded the number of parent relationships allowed by Where Used. The Where Used tool only supports up to 500 parent relationships.
Thanks

This really brings up a larger topic around change management.
The questions you should start with is
1. What kind of change is happening to the raw material?
2. Will this change affect anything upstream inside or outside of PLM4P? (Will this change affect nutrition, compliance, the ingredient statement, the label etc?)
3. Who needs to approve this change?
If they are non-material changes (changes that don't affect theoretical calculations, the ingredient statement, labeling, upstream systems that need to be notified etc) then you should be using get latest revision instead of global succession. Get Latest Revision will automatically switch out the material with the latest approved version. This logic is also configurable in case you need to add additional guard conditions. We can also provide guidance around locking the get latest revision lock once a specification has reached the retired/obsolete state so changes won't occur for specifications in those statuses.
If the changes to the raw material are material changes (changes that affect calculations, labeling etc) then the change should be reflected with a copy of the specification. Dependent specifications then need to be re-issued so calculations can be performed and the appropriate workflow reviews can occur. Smart Issue allows for filtering based on status and should let you re-issue in smaller blocks.
Let me know more about your change management strategy, how often large material changes happen and maybe example causes for those mass changes. We can also schedule a change management training session for everyone where we can share our vision and tools available for change management. This topic is quite large and generally requires a lot of business process discussion beyond just the tools available.
Thanks

Tcode opens selection screen, but does not executes the program

Hi!
tcode opens selection screen of a custom program, but it seems that it does not executes the program itself.
Sounds strange, but how to explain this if I can run a program manually with no problem and it displays result screen, but when I try to run the program with tcode - it opens selection screen but program quits before displaying result screen. I was putting a breakpoint at the begining of the program - it does not triggers debuger when running a tcode (it triggers debugger if to run program manually).... any ideas?
Help will be appreciated,
Mindaugas

Are you using this???
SET PARAMETER ID '80B' FIELD T_TABLE-OPBEL.
CALL TRANSACTION 'FPE3' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.
That way it should work....

HT204406 my iTunes match can not pass the step 2, it keeps repeat again and again. Pls advise. Thank you.

my iTunes Match can not pass the step 2, it keeps repeat again and again. Pls advise. Thank you.

Very strange. Two items to try:
a. Enable iCloud Status and iCloud Download fields in Song view, sort on status and look for any 'waiting' or 'error';
b. If (a) looks good, establish a new user account, create an empty library and enable iTunes Match, confirm that this provides access to all Songs and is working well.
These are seeking to ensure both no bad Songs or local Library corruption - both are relatively quick.

SAP SCM F&R , not all the steps of dispatcher profile are executed.

Hi,
We are currently using SCM F&R 5.0 and facing issues when we try to process the location.
Of the 13 steps of dispatcher profile, (details given below), first four show the status as OK and fifth one "errors" out. Rest of them have status as "Initial".
To process the location, we are using the report - /FRE/UI_FRP_PROCESS_LOCATION.
Do let me know if anyone has come across this issue, any input would be appreciated.
Also do advice, where we can see the detail log. As in location status, it only display the status ,ie, "Error", Initial" , "OK".
Details of the steps are as mentioned below:
Sequence 1 -- collect information data for the F&R Processor (MN_AND_TECH_SYNC)
        task 1 -- create location data (CREATE_LOCATION_ENVIRONMENT)
        task 2 -- provide data for F&R processor on demand (CREATE_OUTBOUND_FILES_ON_DEM)
        task 3 -- provide master data for F&R processor (CRETAE_OUTB_FILES_NO_CRIT_MD)
        task 4 -- provide configuration data for F&R processor (CHECK_FOR_UPDATES)
        task 5 -- check configuration data (SAFRUN_NOCRIT)
Sequence 2 -- read transactional data (TD_DATA_SYNCH)
        task 1 -- provide open orders and goods receipts for F&R processor (CREATE_OUTB_FILES_NO_CROT_TD)
Sequence 3 -- start the F&R processor (AUOT_REPL_AND_OPRM)
        task 1 -- provide stock and consumption data (CREATE_OUTBOUND_FILES_CRIT)
        task 2 -- calculate forecast and requirements (SAFRUN_CRIT)
        task 3 -- perform post-processing of forecast and requirements calculation, such as DIF data (SET_DIF_DELTA)
        task 4 -- reset location environment (RESET_LOCATION_ENVIRONMENT)
        task 5 -- create of order proposals (CREATE_AND_RELEASE_OPS)
Sequence 4 -- prepare results for replenishment workbench (FC_AND_MD_SYNC)
        task 1 -- prepare results for replenishment workbench (READ_FILES_FOR_RWB)
Sequence 5 -- prepare results for analytics
        task 1 -- prepare results for analytics (NON_EXC_ANA)
Currently first four steps in the dispatcher profile is successfully executed, fifth one ends up in error and rest remain in the "initial" status.
Thanks
Sharad

Hi,
I logged in the forum after long time. We had lot of issues in running dispatcher and all of them we could resolve.
Since its been long time, I am not sure if you are still looking for answer.
If you could let me know any specific issue you are having, I will try to answer that.
Thanks

Hi,
I have created a Custom Virtual Cube with a custom function module. This Cube displays data when i check it through the transaction code - LISTCUBE.
I have a query which has to be executed on this Virtual Cube. When i execute this Query , it does not display any data at all. It always displays "No applicable data found".
I have tried with the combination of inputs for which the data is available in the cube. but still it gives "No applicable data found".
Can someone suggest me what i have to do to correct this problem.
Thanks
Maddy

Hi Maddy,
I also encountered similar problem in BI 7.0, which doesn't happen in BW 3.5, though I was using Basic Cube, not Virtual Cube. I could finally work it out. Here are the steps I used:
- Right click on the InfoCube > choose "Manage".
- In the "Requests" tab, click the traffic light button in the "Request Status" column, set it to "Status OK".
- The "Request for Reporting Available" column will show the "Request is available for reporting" icon automatically.
- Try to execute your query again.
Hope this might be relevant to your situation as well.

Record actions bug. does not execute the dont save action even though it acknowledges in action list

i am using macbook pro running Lion
so i am trying to save a series of actions that i want applied to a batch of images. i do all the actions correctly (i've done this before in earlier version of photoshop). stop recording my actions, and open the same image to make sure the automation process works properly and i get the same image through automation that i got when building my actions. one
of the actions is cutting and pasting a portion of the image in a different location, yet during the automation it always ends up somewhere else, and not in the same place, which makes no sense. another issue is during the recording of my actions i close out of all the files b4 i stop recording and click dont save. so this should be automated, but when i run the automation it prompts me to click dont save which it shouldnt do. i cant sit at the cpu and click dont save for thousands of images. whts the point of automation if i have to actually do something. stupid program. and i can clearly see in the list of actions tht it recorded me clicking dont save yet it still prompts me every time. i really do hate cs6. i wld install my old photoshop but b/c i have lion it doesnt support it... of course.. *rolls eyes*

@conroy - one of the actions means one task in an action (see screen shot).
@noel - i am able to run my action properly when i "play selection", but when i try to run a batch of images through the "automate" function is when the issues begin to arise. at least most of the issues.
i would insert an image to show what i did, but i cant seem to get that to work (on my pc or mac... weird). i loaded it to my fbook page and u can view it by following the below link
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=750482081505&l=4d1bb044bd
you can view an image of what i did here.
so in detail what i am trying to do is:
record an action of the edits i make to a raw image so i can then run that same action on a batch of thousands of images via "automate." the specific tasks i am trying to complete during my action should be visble in the link i provided. to explain in detail what is occuring that is being recorded as an action:
1)- i press begin record
2)- I am open a raw image
3)- there is a time stamp in the image and i select and copy the time stamp from the corner of the image
4)- i then open a new document and past the time stamp into the new document
5)- i then increase the size of the pasted time stamp by about 3x by changing the resolution
6)- i then go back to original image
7)- i crop the original image to exclude the time stamp and other superflous things on the edges of the image
8)- i then rotate the original image 90 degrees CCW
9)- i then go back to the new document w/ the time stamp and select the time stamp with the marquee tool, so I can copy the time stamp to the original image
10)- i copy and paste the time stamp to the original image, i use the "move tool" and move the time stamp to the top of the original image.
11)- i then flatten the original image (i thought when this was done this is essentially combining layers, so there should be no possibility of the edited time stamp moving around as it has been flattened onto the original image)
12)- i then save the original image (that was flattened w/ the edited time stamp) as a .jpeg As part of the save process i also select the resolution.
***issue***
so i am now having an issue on this section as well. as you can see in the link i provided i have told adobe to do all this, yet now at this section it prompts me to make a decision about the resolution (i.e. press "ok").
13) -after this step i then select "close all" from the file menu which closes the original image that i just saved and prompts me if i want to save the new document i created for the time stamp i edited
14) - i select "dont save"
15) -i press stop record
16) - i then go to the folder where i saved the file i just edited in photoshop and change the name.
17) - i start the action process to see if i can replicate the manual actions i just completed through automation. i have no issues replicating this when i manually start the action, except for my issue w/ the time stamp detailed below.
***issue*****
when i do this the time stamp that i edited and pasted back into the image is not in the same place. i have only gotten it to be in the same place once, and the only thing i did differently was continually re-create the above action in the same manner. each time i recreated the action the time stamp was in a different place and one time it was finally in the place i moved it to.
18) - after checking that the action works, i then attempt to automate a batch of files
19) - i select file -> automate -> batch
20) - in batch i choose the folder with the original raw images that i now want to run the action on and also select the folder where to place the altered images
21) - in the batch menu i do not have any of the boxes checked (i.e. suppress color profile warnings, etc.)
22) - i select "ok" and the automation process starts
this is where i run into issues. originally i would get prompted @ step 14 (above) instead of the automation process just reading the task in the action that says select "dont save". somehow i do not get prompted there anymore. now i get prompted at step 12. it saves its as jpeg, but instead of completing the save process, at the resolution screen it prompts me to select "ok" instead of reading the task in the action that says select "ok"
i have created new actions for the images i collect since CS4 and CS5 and i have never run into any of the issues i have described above. i appreciate any and all help you can provide, as it currently stands i am pretty upset b/c i have wasted an entire day or productivity messing w/ what appears to be a buggy program.

Not executing the step
