How to send email notification in different languages in Workflow ?? Urgent Help Needed

Gurus,
How to send email notification in different languages in Workflow? Can anyone send me some useful guidelines or link where it is mentioned.

There is no profile option available to specify whether send or not send email notification.
But after login, in preferences youcan set the notification preference value by which you can configure whether to send or not
to send email notifications.
If you select ''Do not send me mail' or 'Disabled' it will not send.
For other values it sends the notfication in different formats like text, html, attachments etc...

BPM workflows Vs MDM internal workflows.

need clarity on BPM workflows Vs MDM internal workflows.
My understanding:
BPM are kind of workflows created on portal.
and MDM workflows are internal within MDM system.
Questions:
1. Are BPM workflow and MDM Workflows are connected in anyway.
a. If YES,How? Pls give me an example.
b. If NO, when exactly are MDM workflows used and when are BPM workflows used.
2. How are validations done in BPM
3. What is the role of web services in BPM, when exactly we are using
web services.
.......... Pls explain with example if possible.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Veena.
As a definition SAP BPM is a component helps you to model, execute, and monitor your business processes based on a common process model. BPM is used to create composite applications and to streamline a process of execution. It can model the application with different areas using webservices etc.
SAP BPM provides modeling and implementation for a UI centric business process u2013 you can develop the business process based on BPM modeling tools.
1.
a. Are BPM workflow and MDM Workflows are connected in anyway.
As far as I know, it is Not.
b. If NO, when exactly are MDM workflows used and when are BPM workflows used
- MDM Workflow is extensively used in case of MDM Components for Cleansing, de-duplication, validation, approval etc. A MDM Workflow is tightly integrated with the MDM Clients to perform the operations.
- BPM workflow is of UI centric business process to integrate various functional usecases.
2.
Validations are created in BPM using the validation rules framework or BRM(Business Rules Mangement) based on the functionality. User can create their own validations from this layer.
3. As a definition, Web services are typically application programming interfaces (API) or web APIs that can be accessed over a network. So if Im designing an application which creates a purchase order in the back end, an webservice should be exposed where I pass the required inputs and get the desired output. The validations are exposed as webservices which can be used in BPM.

E Mail Notification in SAP MDM Workflow

Dear Experts,
We have a scenario regarding E Mail Notification, in which we need your inputs on the below issues:
1. We are able to maintain the list of users manually for Email Notify step, but we need to maintain the list of users as dynamically. So that it will be helpful in reducing the human errors.
2. We have to send Email only if there is a change or creation of records based on a value of a particaular qualified lookup link.
eg, A look up qualified link for regions which has possible values as "Region1", "Region2" and "Region 3". So we want that if a record gets created with "Region1" then only notification should be sent else no notification.
Please provide your solution on the above issues.
Thanks and Regards
Gaurav Kumar Sharma

Hi
Scenario 1:
I dont think we have an option of dynamic users list (based on Role) in e-mail notification but you can do one thing you can add multiple e-mail ids for a single user with a ";" seperator under users-> e-mail in console. please give a try and see if it helps.
Scenario 2:
Design a workflow which has Trigger Actions on Record Add,Record Update
Start -> Branch step -> (FALSE)Stop
->(TRUE) Notify -> Stop
In the branch step use the validation with the below code. This will take care of the notifiction when there is a Region1 added to the lookup table.
HAS_ANY_VALUES(Regions.Region.[Record], Regions [Region1] ) AND
LEFT(Updated Date,16)= LEFT(SYSTIME(0),16 )

MDM SP3 Workflow

Hi,
How to implement MDM Workflow with iView based interface for the MDM repository?
So end user (business user) do NOT need to use MDM Data Manager interface at all.
1. Any user from a Role should be able to accept task.
2. Supervisor/Administrator should be able to delegate task to a user.
3. User should be able to add text for email notification.
4. Supervisor/Administrator should be able to monitor all the task/workflow.
Thanks,
Abhay

I checked the MDM JAVA API documentation. It has very limited functionality for WorkFlow.
If you have used MDM JAVA API for WorkFlow, can you please point me to the APIs you have used.
APIs will help build custom J2EE application. I was looking for iViews that can support the MDM workflow.
Thanks,
Abhay

MDM Approval Workflow - Send to previous step using API

Hi,
I am working on MDM 7.1 SP 07. I have integrated MDM workflow with UWL.
I have written a custom web dynpro application to approve the workflow record using MDM APIs.
I am able to accept the workflow task, mark it as APPROVED, mark as DONE and send it to NEXT STEP using WorkflowTaskAction.SEND_NEXT_STEP
Similarly I am able to accept the workflow task, mark it as DISAPPROVED, mark as Done.
Issue:
When the record is disapproved, I can see the "Send to previous" step option in data manager.
But I donot get the option "SEND TO PREVIOUS" in the mdm api. I expected something like WorkflowTaskAction.SEND_PREVIOUS_STEP
Any idea on the correct apis to send to previous step?
Regards,
Durai

Hi,
I tried with WorkflowTaskAction.SEND_NEXT_STEP. But it is failing. Because once the record is disapproved and marked as done, SENT_NEXT_STEP is not enabled.
I also checked the Workflow status. Once disapproved and marked as done, only PREVIOUS_STEP gets enabled in Data Manager.
Are there any other options to send to previous step?
Regards,
Durai

Rejection Workitem/Notification for SC in BRF Workflow

Hi Gurus,
SRM 7.0
I have successfully defined a custom 3 level approval for Shopping Cart. However I do not see a workitem nor an SAP inbox notification back to the creator when the SC is rejected. Recipients of notification are defined in IMG (
Business Workflow > Process-Controlled Workflow > Business Process Configuration > Define Recipient of Notifications).
It is the same when I activate the standard one step approval schema as well. What am I missing here?
Thanks,
RM.

Hi..
If you use the decision type "Entire document" in the process level and not check the "Work item to Requester at Process End" check box in the approval overview , then system won't send the workitem back to Requester for accept / change.. In order to send the workitem back to requester.. the easy way is to maintain the Acceptance by Contact person in Process level confi.. You have to create a custom event the should check the expression "0V_WF_CURRENT_DECISI" = "REJECTED". use the task id "40007994".. hope this will resolve your issue..

Saravanan

Attaching the notification template to a approval workflow or process OIM11

Hi guys,
we have customized our approval workflow at request level, and operational level approval making default approval based on approval policy. Now the question is we need to send a mail notification to manager to approve the request and then when whole request is completed then the mail has to be sen to the user that new account has been created for that resource.
here the user is request a resource by using self-resource request template.
i have seen the notifications but how would make these notification are triggered at above events
appreciate ur responses

Your first step is to clearly define when the notifications must go out.
1. Email to Approver for task assigned - If you have built a SOA Composite and in your code, you have retrieved the user manager value and assigned to that user, then with this value, you can also code for a custom notification. From the request data, you can retrieve the beneficiary and the resource for which is requested. Using these, you can use a notification resolver class to pass those values in to your notification. See this link http://fusionsecurity.blogspot.com/2011/07/oim-11g-notifications.html for how to create a custom notification.
2. Email to user when Resource has been provisioned - This will happen on the provisioning side, and you can attach to your Create User task and use the notification tab. I do not know if these still work, but create a new email definition from the design console. Open the create user task, go to the notification tab, select the User as your target, status is C, and then select your email definition. Another option would probably be an event handler that is triggered on the status of Provisioned for that resource, but someone else might be able to provide more insight on this as i have not configured one yet.

Hierarchical Table Commands in MDM API

Hi,
I found only RetrieveLimitedHierTreeCommand,RetrieveLimitedHierChildrenCommand in MDM API for hierarchical tables.
So how can we add a child or a sibling, delete a child or sibling to the nodes of the tree.
Can anyone please give me links or some documentation on how to proceed with this.
The other problem we are facing when retrieving the children using RetrieveLimitedHierTreeCommand
When we add a search on the command it does not retrieve the children. it says the children for the level one node are null but if i donto set search it retrieves the children for all the nodes.
Is there any specific setting that has to be done for using the search.
Please let me know
Thanks,
Padmaja

Hi Greg,
I am adding the code snippet below. Can you please look into this and check if there are any problems
RetrieveLimitedHierTreeCommand hr=new RetrieveLimitedHierTreeCommand(conAccessor);
Search ser=new Search(repoSchemacmd.getRepositorySchema().getTable("New_Code").getId());
FieldId fldId =repoSchemacmd.getRepositorySchema().getTableSchema("New_Code").getField("New_Code").getId();
StringValue fldVal = new StringValue("G0440");
ser.addSearchItem(new FieldSearchDimension(fldId),new TextSearchConstraint(fldVal.getString(),TextSearchConstraint.EQUALS));
hr.setSearch(ser);
ResultDefinition rd=new ResultDefinition(repoSchemacmd.getRepositorySchema().getTable("New_Code").getId());
rd.setSelectFields(repoSchemacmd.getRepositorySchema().getTableSchema("New_Code").getFieldIds());
hr.setResultDefinition(rd);
hr.setSession(userSessionID);
try {
hr.execute();
} catch (CommandException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
When i execute this part of code and get the children. i get the children as null.
Thanks,
Padmaja

Send Custom Mail Notifications to Author/Creator when workflow ends

Hello All,
I am working on workflows and I want to send a mail notification to the "Author/Creator" when the workflow finishes.
Currently, UCM workflows do not provide this functionality Out-Of-The-Box.
For this I implemented a filter and hooked it to the event +"advanceDocumentStateMarkWorkflowFinished"+ event.
Now I am able to send mail using the following code:
InternetFunctions.sendMailTo(email, "DynamicPrefixTemplate","Workflow Notifications", cxt);
However, I am not able to retrieve the author name to whom I have to send the notification. I found that "databinder" object (passed as param) in method signature below doesn't contain the author name attribute.
public int doFilter(Workspace ws, DataBinder binder, ExecutionContext cxt)
I can see other attributes such as dId, dName etc. but not the "dAuthor". Can someone please suggest how can I retrieve the author name for the document for which workflow has just finished and notify the author..
I know there are services like getDocumentByName, but I do not know can I call these services from my filter code in Java. Please guide me.
Thanks in Advance,
Aakash

Hi,
If what you need is to send a notification to the original author, you do not need to write custom code, you can follow these steps:
1) on the first step, assign the dDocAuthor to a workflow variable. As an example, on the Entry event if the first step add this code:
<$wfSet("originalAuthor",dDocAuthor)$>
Note that you need the previous step only if you allow revisions during your workflow. If you don't, then dDocAuthor would not change and you can skip that step
2) on the last step, send a notification using the variable we saved on the first step as the addresee. As an example, on the on Exit event add this code:
<$wfNotify(originalAuthor,"user")$>
(if you do not allow revisions, substitute originalAuthor by dDocAuthor)
Another thing, a lot of people run into the need to override the standard email templates when they start sending custom notifications. The workflow administration guide has a very nice and detailed section that explains how to do this. Also, the idocscript reference guide is always a good point to check the correct syntax for idocscript functions. There is a section of workflow related functions/variables in that guide that always comes in handy.
Hope this helps.

Jorge

Dim LayerCellObj As Visio.Cell
Set LayersObj = ActivePage.Layers
For Each LayerObj In LayersObj
LayerName = LayerObj.Name
' Debug.Print LayerName
If LayerName = "" Then
Set LayerCellObj = LayerObj.CellsC(visLayerVisible)
LayerCellObj.Formula = False Or 0
End If
Next
