ORA-2001:The approver group Process MFG Approvals has dynamic query in wron

ERROR ORA-2001:The approver group Process MFG Approvals has dynamic query in
wrong format in 11i
We are setting up the Approver Group 'Process MFG
Approvals" using a dynamic query, like:
SELECT PAPF.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER
FROM PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F PAPF,
fnd_lookup_values FLV
WHERE FLV.MEANING=PAPF.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER
AND lookup_type='SUG_SAMPLE_NOTIFICATION'
AND SYSDATE BETWEEN papf.effective_start_date AND papf.effective_end_date
AND FLV.LOOKUP_CODE= (SELECT GME.PLANT_CODE FROM GME_BATCH_HEADER GME WHERE
GME.BATCH_ID=:transactionId)
- Above query is passing the validation action from within the setup screen.
- However, when this approver group is being invoked via Sample Creation
workflow, there is following error raised:
ORA-20001:The approver group Process MFG Approvals has dynamic query in
wrong format
More, if user is trying to use a more simple query like:
select distinct person_id from PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F where full_name = 'Mr.
Oliverking G' we are getting same error
Any idea, plse, would be gretaly apprciated.

Hi,
You need to prefix the value with a text string which indicates what kind of value you are returning.
E.g. if you are returning a user ID, prefix the value with 'user_id:'; if you are returning a person ID, then prefix it with 'person_id:'
There is an article on my blog about creating a dynamic approval group in AME as part 5 in the series on AME: http://www.workflowfaq.com/ame-part-five-defining-a-dynamic-approval-group

ReAssiging the Approver Group + BPEL 10.1.3.3

Hi,
Currently bpel(human task) instance is created with particular assigned group. Will it be possible to change the assigned group in later stage ? Please advice.
e.g,
Currently Loan application is assigned to groups A,B. Few loan applications are created and assigned to group 'A','B'. After few days user want to reassign to group 'D' instead of 'A','B'
As per my understanding Reassign task enables the current assignee or group to transfer it to another user within same group or group within same hierarchy?
Please correct me if I am wrong

I guess you have to change the group details in users-properties.xml or from 'em'. Assign the permissions. This should help you with reassignment.

Getting "ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression" error in Inline query

Hello all,
The following query when run in SCOTT user gives "ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression" error.
If I remove the TRUNC function from the outer query's group by clause, then it fetches
(My actual query is something similar to the following query. I have given emp, dept tables for convenience's sake)
select e.empno,e.ename, AVG(e.SAL), trunc(e.hiredate),
(select sum(sal) from emp
where hiredate = e.hiredate) salary
from emp e
group by e.DEPTNO,e.EMPNO,e.ENAME, trunc(e.hiredate)
Pls suggest how this error can be avoided.
Regards,
Sam

# of tab canvases dependant on the # of groups that come back from a query

Hi,
I'm trying to create a dynamic creation of blocks, and tab canvases dependant on the number of groups that come back from a query. If 4 groups come back then I desire 4 tabs with the appropriate data in each tab.

Basically Forms is not intended to build screens programmatically but it is possible to kluj it. Here's what you could do.
Create a form with (say) four tabbed canvases, enough to fill the display. Each canvas has its own block. Then you have video style buttons - Fwd, Bk, FFwd FBk - and just scroll the blocks across when the user clicks the button.
Did you enjoy the use of the word "just"? Sounds easy, doesn't it? In practice, what you need is an array that ties the filter criteria to the canvas number. Then you shuffle the canvases by applying the appropriate WHERE clause using SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY and then executing a query.
The problems with this are obvious and the same as any dynamically generated UI. It will perform badly (each navigation to a canvas will trigger a fresh query, plus there's the overhead of managing the stack). Also it is fragile: there's lots that can go wrong.
So you need to ask yourself what it is you are hoping to achieve. Can you deliver the same business function some other way? As another poster has pointed out, this is just a glorified master-detail form - the filter criterion being the master. Building this as a classic two block master-detail Form is more straightforward and more robust.

Error in the proc which has dynamic query in it.

I have a proc as below

from tablex h
where h.hid = id2
and h.dep = cur.dep)';
end loop;
execute immediate sql_stmt1;
end;
Here when i execute it is giving the error in 'id2' which is paased as the parameter in this proc and "cur.dep" which is comming from the cursor. It giving n error 'id2' and "cur.dep" is an invalid identifier
Edited by: user10285699 on May 1, 2009 1:09 AM

Your code is faulty.
First of all you set up multiple statements in a cursor for loop, and you execute that statement outside the cursor for loop. So only 1 statement is executed.
Secondly, you can't refer to pl/sql variables in a dynamic sql statement or you must use them as bind variables (preferred) or concatenate them.
1 bind variables.
sql_stmt1:= 'insert into node(NODE_ID,pID,dep,tnode,PNODE)
select id,pid2,cur.dep,null,null)
from tablex h
where h.hid = :id2
and h.dep = :dep';
execute immediate sql_stmt1 using id2, cur.dep;
end loop;
2 concatenation.
sql_stmt1:= 'insert into node(NODE_ID,pID,dep,tnode,PNODE)
select id,pid2,cur.dep,null,null)
from tablex h
where h.hid = '||id2
and h.dep = '||cur.dep||')';
execute immediate sql_stmt1 using id2, cur.dep;
end loop;

Cup Approval process requires multiple hits of the APPROVE button

Hello GRC CUP folks,
We have an approval process wherein a given request can require 4 levels of approvals to be provisioned. When a manager logs in to CUP, and tries to approve a request, she hits the APPROVE button, then the yellow status bar appears, showing the approval status so far for this request. And she has to hit the APPROVE button again. Then the yellow status for this current stage turns green and the workflow proceeds to the next stage. It is getting back to me that the managers are having trouble understanding and remembering that they have to hit the APPROVE button more than once (even though we added text to that effect in the approval email).
Is there some way to get the approval to process to the next stage with only one push of the APPROVE button?
Thanks for your ideas.
Yvonne

Hi Yvonne,
Please go to config -> workflow -> stage -> go to change mode for Manager stage.
Make sure that, 'Display Review Screen', 'Comments Mandatory' and 'Confirm Approval' are set to 'NO'. This will make sure that as soon as Manager hits Approve button, the request would be approved.
Regards,
Alpesh

GRC - SQL Query to retrive the Approver/Rejecter Names

Hello,
I was trying to write a sql query to retrive the name of the user who has approved or rejected a particular Approval Notification in GRC Flow rule.
This query should retrive the user , who has taken the action. This user name will be added to the Role, which inturn will be attached to the Approval Group
Thanks,
Gowri

Basically, We have GRC Flow rule, with a process flow written to send Notification
Here we have added a Approver Group with approval type as Wait for Approval and Vote Percentage as 100
Two users are added to the Role which inturn is added to the Approval Group. What is the SQL query to retrieve the Username who has Approval or Rejection for a notification?
Can anyone please help
Thanks,

Dynamic Approver Group

Hi all,
Is there a way to let the dynamic approver group to return more than one record?
for one record we return the person_id in the format 'PERSON_ID:'||PERSON_ID
Could we use 'PERSON_ID:'||PERSON_ID||',PERSON_ID:'||PERSON_ID for example to retrieve 2 person id's??
The query of the approver group is calling a function that check the process name and return all the people associated with a position or a job, I need to build dynamic approver groups to send notifications to a group of people so that anyone in that group can approve it and hence it moves on to the next approver group's people
any idea?!
Edited by: HST on Sep 7, 2010 7:37 AM

Thanks Vinayka for the reply.
I have tried doing your advice, the query return more than one record (3 in my example) and the voting method is first responder wins.
What happened when submitting the request is that the notification sent to the first person (the one returned in the first record) only and i have to wait for his approval or rejection
if he approves or reject the cycle stopped.
i need to send the notification to all employee that the query return and the approval from one of them is enough!
any idea?

AME iExpenses: Cannot create new approver group

We need to set up approver groups for iExpenses. I assigned myself Approvals Management Administrator and Aprovals Management Business Analyst roles. With these roles I can create new attributes and conditions. However, I cannot create new action types and approval groups. The create button for the approval group just does nothing.
What am I missing? We are 11.5.10.2, AME.B

Pl see if ML Doc 420387.1 (How to Create the Approval Transaction Type for AME.B or higher ?) can help

GROUP BY with parameter - cause error -ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression

I generate a query via PreparedStatement. For example:
SELECT when, value FROM test GROUP BY ?;
PrepState.toString(1, "when");
That causing error: ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression
My application using query like:
SELECT to_char(data,1), SUM(vlue) as sum FROM test GROUP BY to_char(data, 2);
PrepState.toString(1, "YYYY-MM");
PrepState.toString(2, "YYYY-MM");

Ah. Reproduced in the first chunk of PL/SQL below.
The second chunk is a workaround.
Basically, SQL is parsed by the syntax engine and optimizer to get an execution plan. Then you can have a sequence of "bind, execute, fetch, fetch, fetch..., bind, execute..."
Since you can have multiple binds for a single SQL parse, then the fact that the first set of binds all happen to have the same value doesn't mean the next set will.
The optimizer needs to be 100% sure that the value in the select must always be the same as the value in the group by, so you can't have two separate (and therefore potentially different) bind variable mappings. [Given the right circumstances, the optimizer might do all sorts of tricks, such as using materialized views and function-based indexes.]
Misleadingly, it actually fails on the 'EXECUTE' step of DBMS_SQL rather than the PARSE.

Running time for group process chain

Hello Gurus,
in our system, a group process chain includes a lot of process chains, after the whole group process chain runs through , how can I check how long it takes for the whole group process run?
Many thanks.

Hi,
right click on start process of your meta chain..
there you can find the start time of your meta chain.take that as A.
go to last process of the chain and right click and take that time as B.
The difference between the two times is your total meta chain runtime.
hope this is clear for you.

Human Workflow email notification to a distribution list when assigned to an approval group

Hi All,
is there a way to send the notification email to an email distribution list when a task is assigned to an approval group instead of sending individuals emails to each member?
As of now HW config is sending individual emails to each member of the approval group when the task is assigned to that approval group, for some approval groups (not all) they want the notification emails be sent to a distribution list, also we are using the actionable emails - so far it's working fine - the only thing is that the recipient of the actionable emails should be a dist list, is this even possible?
thanks in advance

Hi,
From your description, some users that are not the dynamic distribution group members receive the messages that are sent to the dynamic distribution groups. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
In your case, I recommend you use the following cmdlets to verify the members of this dynamic distribution group at first.
$MarketingGroup = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup "Marketing Group"
Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $MarketingGroup.RecipientFilter -OrganizationalUnit $MarketingGroup.OrganizationalUnit
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
Amy Wang
TechNet Community Support
Hi Amy,
Correct, some users that should and are filtered out from the DDL are receiving the emails.
I set the variable and ran the command you provided and got consistent results to the "filter preview" in EMC, the particular user that is filtered out in both membership preview method is still receiving these emails!
