Using web services in Approval Work flow in OIM 11g

Hi All,
I am a new bie to OIM 11g. I have created an approval work flow and it is working fine.
Now my requirement is to use a web service in the approval work flow instead of directly embeding the java code in Java Embeding Activity. Can some body share me a document or url for the process of doing it.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Thanks,
Preeti

If you are using OIM 11gR2 please refer the below document. All steps are very clear with the screenshots.

OM:Cost of Goods sold work flow customization to take it from concerned off

OM:Cost of Goods sold work flow customization to take it from concerned office in the place of inventory org

Yes FOX can be difficult to achieve things that are simpler than simple
The way you described, it will only search fo a standard price on the same currency.
Try to set the currency as changeable characteristic and then search prices for each possible currency.
standard price value = {standard price, currency1} + {standard price, currency2} etc..
The possible currencies could also be filled in a variable which is read at runtime.
Don't know an easier way!

Hi,
Please follow thes steps:-
1> find a BO that is defined for CRM Marketing like for Events and Activities we have BUS2000126, Opportunities - bus2000111. Similarly there would be a BO for CRM Marketing.
2> From that BO find an event that can trigger your Workflow and Start Condition if any required.
3> SWDD - create custom Workflow - create a User Decision and in that step assign it as a General Task and assign Agent in that screen as an Expression from BO Attribute which corresponds to user 1.
4> in user-decision implement approval/rejection
5> in the approval branch add another user-decision for next level approval and do the same as there in step 3..
Let me know if you have any doubts
This should work for u..
be careful with the binding..

Approval work flow for Role based and Resource based

Hi All,
We have to implement approval work flow for the following things in OIM 9.1.0.1
Approval work flow for Functional Roles (Groups in OIM) (Approvalsrequired for users to get these roles)
IT Roles (Resources in OIM) (Approvalsrequired for users to get these resource)
Functional Role (Group) contains policy1,polici2. Polciy1 contains res1,res2 and Policy2 contain res3,res4.I want to create approval work flow for this Functional Role to achieve the following
User raise a request for the functional role, then it should wait to get manager approval. then once its gets approval, that user account should create on all resources which are involved in that group.
And, I have to define approoval work flow for all individual resources to get users account creation on target with approvals. These resources may include in the groups as well.
After getting approval for functional role (Group), then Will OIM starts the approval flow for all resources involved in the group? becase, all resources have approval workflow at resource level also.
My Goal: Approval work flow for Group, should not process the approval work flow for resource. can we do it in OIM 9.1.0.1?
And can we do the same in OIM 11g also?
Please help me and do let me know, if you need any information from my end.
Thanks.

Thats configurable buddy ! ! And possible in 10G and 11G both versions.
Functional Roles : These are the groups/roles in OIM 10g/11g with access policies attached at the backend.
- Create a dummy resource and name it Request Role or anything as you like. Attach an Object Form to it and have form field for Role Name, this would be a lookup type field linked to all OIM groups (leave system values using lookup query). So a user can select any OIM Group in this request as per configuration. Have approval workflows defined on this dummy resource Request Role and in its Provisioning Process make user/s a part of the requested group.
- Now once the user is made a part of the group, the associated access policy would be invoked automatically and thereby provisioning. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that create the access policy without approval (there is a check box). If you do this the approvals would never be invoked even if you assign a group manually to the user coz it suppresses all the approvals in this access policy.
IT Roles : These would be linked to the resource and you can define individual approvals on the resources as required.These approvals would be required if someone raises a request for these resources individually.
Thanks

HOW TO CALL APPROVAL WORK FLOW ON BUTTON CLICK EVENT OF VISUAL WEB PART?

Hiall,
I created an OOB an approval work flow I want to start that approval work flow through visual web part button click event
In work flow Settings I selected to manually start .Is this possible ? if possible please guide me how to do this
Thanking you,
Arun kumar

Hi,
If you have an instance of SPListItem, and know the workflow association name, you can start it. First you need to find workflow assocation instance and tell SPSite.SPWorkflowManager to start your workflow.
See this for more information:

Approval work flow in 11g

Hi All,
I am a new bie to OIM 11g. I have created aapproval work flow and it is working fine.
Now the requirement is to check for a certain flag and based on the falg value we need to route the request to approvers.
If the flag value is "true" we need to route to the first level Approval. If it is "false" we need to skip the approval and the request should be rejected.The provisioning process also should be terminated.
As far as I have tested if we skip all the approval tasks the status of the request will be updated to "Approve" by default. But according to our requirement we need to set the status to "Reject".
Please suggest any way of implementing it or if any body has already implemented it.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
PT

PO approval Work flow

Dear All,
Our users need to share the work list for PO Approval workflow with others in the dept. but if the user other than the one who was the initial recipient of the notification approves the PO; the workflow approval history still shows the original recipients name and not the responder as the approver. It does not even puts the message as "Approving on behalf of" as in the case if the notification is forwarded to other user.
Any suggestions how to capture the responder as approver?
Edited by: 989622 on Mar 6, 2013 6:27 AM

I was able to find where it is doing it.
The PO_WF_PO_NOTIFICATION.POST_APPROVAL_NOTIF has a logic (which does not make much sense) but if the session owner (logged in user) is not equal to the original recipient of the notification it reverts the responder to the original recipient.
SELECT fu.USER_ID

FROM fnd_user fu,
wf_notifications wfn
WHERE wfn.notification_id = l_nid
AND wfn.original_recipient = fu.user_name;

IF (l_responder_id is not null) THEN
IF (l_responder_id <> l_session_user_id) THEN
/* possible in 2 scenarios :
1. when the response is made from email using guest user feature
2. When the response is made from sysadmin login
PO_WF_UTIL_PKG.SetItemAttrNumber(itemtype=>itemtype,

aname => 'RESPONDER_USER_ID',
avalue => l_responder_id);

BId needs approval work flow

Hi SRM gurus,
We are working on SRM 5.5
I created bid responce to the invitatation through txn process bid ie just mentioned the price and when i click on check button system is throwing the error as No approval workflow found. Inform system administrator.
I checked in oocu tnx corresponding workflow WS 79000010 Workflow without approval for bid is activated,and no other workflow is activated(like one step).
Can any one help me what could be the possible reason and how can rectify the issue.
Thanks in advance,
--suma.

Hi Reddy,
The message you are mentioning is an information message. Are you getting all greens for your workflow template in SWUD if you test ?
There can be many reasons for your workflow not being triggered.
Since you are already in the SWDD, Please try these steps.
1) In Heaader, Check for the triggering events in SWDD which should have your business object name.
2) Check for the Versions which are active in which the workflow activated for your number or not.
3) Check for the start conditions in SWB_COND in which you need to define if you have the FM SWB_CHECK_FB_START_COND_EVAL in the SWETYPV transcation for your workflow template.
4) Try to do SWU_OBUF synchronize buffer also before testing the WF again.
If any of these fail then your workflow may not trigger.
First try to give even wrong values so that your workflow is triggered or it may say as ambigous so that it is easy to solve.
Best regards,
Sridhar.

Approval work flow should work when the KM folder has Write access

Dear all,
I have a following scenario.
There are set of KM folders and the users can upload documents in those folders ( users has read/write permission) and for those folders i have a approval process as well but when i give read and write access for those set of folders the approval process is not working they can see the documents because the users have read/write permission.
How can i overcome this i need to give read/write permission for folder and i want the approval process to work as well.
Please help.
Regards
Aflal

Hi, Aflal!
We have overcomed this problem by using custom developed Repository Filters:
One filter shows only documents created by user, no matter approved and not (for those users who are able to upload documents).
Another filter shows only approved documents (for all users).
The third filter shows only submitted for approval documents (for Approvers).
Than we created 3 Layout Sets with these filters applied to (in Collection Renderers) and 3 KM Navigation iViews that use 3 mentioned before Layout Sets.

Work flow mails not processing from SAP Outbox to Approvers

Hello,
We are working on the implementation of Work flow for Purchase orders.
Work flow customization is completed and even work flow is triggering when ever I create Purchase Order.
Even Agent assignment also completed for work flow tasks via T code PTFC_CHG.
Problem here is Work flow mails are not processing out of SAP Outbox to approvers even also after executing the program RSWUWFML2.
If I check in SOST,I will not see any of the entries related to work flow mails.
For eg:If I creates a Purchase order it will trigger Release Strategy and I can see the message to Approvers,like "Please Approver PO..."
Only above I can see in my SAP Outbox.
So how can I Process these messages to approvers SAP Inbox.
Any Pre Setting I have to do?
With regards,
SPK

Hi SP,
I may be wrong, but on reading ur thread, I feel u r mis interpreting SAP Outbox with Outlook.
Is it so, because u have mentioned about RSWUWFML2 and SOST, which comes into picture only if u r using an external mail like Outlook.
If its Outlook, then there is no doubt that ur work item would get deleted from SAP Inbox and would be present only in Outlook.
If its SAP Outbox, then u r not supposed to get ur work item in ur Outbox unless it is processed or executed thru ur SAP Inbox.
Hope it helps.
