Preserve data from one instance of a workflow to another

Hi all,
I have a quite general question which has been bothering me for a while. It has to do with preserving data between instances of a workflow.
What I need is to preserve some data from one instance of a workflow (as a task in the WF) and then stall the WF for some time - actually it must be stalled until another workflow finishes (this second WF should batch a number of tasks which should be sent (together with all the data) in a form to a different user).
However when this second WF finishes it must thus send a "continue message" to all the instances of the first so that they can continue from their previous states.
I hope you can understand the scenario, otherwise I'll try to elaborate further.
If you could have some hints for what activities in the Workbench I should use and some pointers for pitfalls I would be very greatful.
Thanks in advance
Sincerely
Kim Christensen

Can't you just add your other workflow (child) as as step in the main workflow and set the Invocation Policy to "Wait for Response". This will ensure the main workflow will wait for the end of the child workflow.

How to import data from one instance to other

Hello all,
I want to modify the data in one dev instance from production instace ,but in same table can any help me out with command how to retreive the data from other instance
example:
I want to change the email address of a person in per_all_people_f table in development instance which has the accurate data in production instance ,I am using the update statement how should I relate them and how to change the value?

You can create one dblink in dev db to Production db with the user/schema the live table belongs. Then you can accesss the live table in dev db.
eg.
Run in Dev db
create database link "live_db.WORLD"
connect to live_user
identified by <pwd>
using 'live_tns_name';
select * from live_table@live_db;
Now the remore live table is available in dev db just as if a local table.
You can play with its data.
But remember to remove the dblink after your work is done.
drop database link live_db; does the work
cheers...

How to auto populate data from one list in SharePoint 2007 into another list based on a key value?

Hi,
As a part of new requirement in my project I am supposd to work on SharePoint 2007. I have one List (BCExtract - Main list) with all data related to an Application (like ID, name, app manager RTO etc).
I have created another list which has form to be filled by a user (with details about his/her applications). My requirement is that when the user enters AIT ID then the page should refresh (probably after hitting enter) and other details like Application
name, RTO etc which is present in another list gets auto populated depending on the AIT ID (unique column) entered so reduce the burden on the user.
Please suggest me how this can be done. I do not have permission for obtaining SharePoint Designer and I do not know JQuery. Infopath is ok but if this can be done through SharePoint 2007 alone then it would be great.
Thanks....

Hello,
You can either use jquery/jaavscript or infopath form to achieve this. There is no default way to do this.
I would suggest jquery because you can put script in newform/editfor.aspx page using content editor webpart. Refer this link for jquery:

http://www.robertkuzma.com/2010/08/read-list-items-using-sharepoint-web-services-and-jquery/
To set value in column:

http://spservices.codeplex.com/discussions/468729
If you use infopath form, then you need to create two data connection to get data from both lists. Later you can set value in fields based on selection using rule. This can be possible without code.
Hope it could help

Transferring data from one Time Capsule's drive to another?

Hi, was wondering if anyone had any input on this.
A coworker has one of the older model 500GB Time Capsule units and just purchased one of the new dual bandwidth 500GB units.
We are simply trying to move the data on the old drive to an area where it can be copied onto the new time capsule.
When plugging in the old unit, we're getting a blinking amber light and the Airport Utility is not recognizing the old unit.
I think there might be a conflict as we already have an active AirPort in the office so I'm going to wait until later to attempt it again.
My question is, can I somehow wire the time capsule via USB to our existing Airport where it could recognize the time capsule as a shared external hard drive? Any other connection options to make the time capsule's drive visible so we can at least get the data off of it?

Steve,
Welcome to the Apple discussions!
Have you tried connecting both of them together via ethernet? They should both show up in the SideBar of a finder window. Naturally they will need to be named differently to distinguish them from each other. What are you trying to transfer? Time machine backups? Or other files?
With them attached to each other, have you tried using the "Archive" feature of Airport Utility? That will clone the contents of one to the other.
Otherwise, your best option, and fastest, might be to use an external HD between the two TCs.
Attache a HD to the first TCs USB port.
Then use Airport Utility to "Archive" the data to the HD.
Once that's complete, move the HD to the USB port of the other TC.
At this point I'm unclear because I've never done it before, but copy over the data from the HD to the TC. I don't suppose Disk Utilities "Restore" feature would work at this point as the TCs HD would show up in the source pane.
Maybe this will give you some ideas though,
Cheers!

How to create Infopath form that auto populate data from one list to be fill by another user?

hi. I would like to ask, how to create form that fill by User A, for example, and then the User A assigned task to User B to complete the form. Next, the form will be approved by approver. May I know how to do
that? and if possible, I do not want to use any programming code.
Azuaniza Ariffin

Hi,
If your SharePoint environment supports InfoPath Forms, then you can customize the form and add rules to make the list items as read only when user A submits the form.
you can then write a form load event to check the logged in user using username() function. This logic can be implemented in variety of ways, like setting a flag when User A submits the form, or storing user A username in a form variable etc., else comparing
User A and User B values within form Load event.
Another way of doing this is using Views or grouping all of the User A fields within a section etc.,
The above would take care of Form logic, and for the workflow, you can use SharePoint designer to create a custom workflow, where it will run on onItemCreate and onItemChange events.
The logic for workflow would be if the form Submitted for the first time, the workflow will start and send an email to User B, and when User B submits the Data then onItemChange change event will start the workflow to send an email to approver to approve
the data.

Data movement of Chart of Account from one instance to other

We are doing data movement of Chart of account tables(FND_FLEX tables) from one instance(oracle 10.7)to another instance(Oracle 11.0.3).
Some of the columns of flex value tables are obsoleted in Oracle 11.0.3. like description in fnd_flex_values is obsoleted and description is used from fnd_flex_values_tl.
My question is, Is it necessary to do the data movement of fnd_flex_values_tl table to get the description or just the data movement for fnd_flex_values table will serve the purpose.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
When upgrading you need to populate both the fnd_flex_values and the fnd_flex_value_tl table. Please note applications will not function properly when you dont populate this table.
I am not sure how you are populating this table, if using the oracle upgrade process then Oracle takes care of this else please ensure that you populate all the _tl tables
Thanks

Replicate data from one client to another in a production system

Hello,
I have two client in production system. Whenever a equipment is created in one client it should be replicated in another client and whenever a equipment is changed in one client the changes should be replicated to another client.
Data should be immediatly replicated to the another client.
Can basis do some setting so that the two client will always have the same data for equipments.
or i have to get the data from one system and send it to another system through idoc and update that data in another system. This will take a lot of time.
or is there any easy way

Hi Sachin,
You need custom program to achieve this requirement. Either you can use ALE+IDoc or direct BAPI function module call.
This should happen within seconds if designed properly.

How to copy a Specific Font Style from one instance to another?

I am using RoboHelp HTML V.7.
I need to change multiple instances of one style to another. Is there a way to assign a specific font style from one instance of the style to another location (like MS Word style painter), or add the specific style to a shortcut key, or add the specific style the toolbar, or any other suggestions which may expedite my plight?

Identify the "class=MyStyle" string in the MTML code, and use the Multi-File Find and Replace feature to step through each topic and change the specific instances to "class=MyOtherStyle." (I doubt that you'll want to "Replace All".)
Sorry, there's no silver bullet!
Good luck,
Leon

Transferring the data from one system to another system.

Hi All,
   I need to transfer the material master data from one system(e.g - dev1)
to another system (e.g - dev2).
front end application is BSP.
if the user enters the material number 1 to 20 and if he presses the submit
button, the entire data should be transferred to another system.
This transferring of data should be done in background.
1. which method we should opt for this ? either ALE or any other method like XI.
2. Is there any standard bapi function module to transfer the material master from one system to another system.
3. whether this above transferring can be done thru XI and which will be best approach for doing this?
Points will be awarded.

Transfer Data From One ReportServer to Another

I was asked to set up a new reporting services instance but was not told that there was not an already identified way to transfer the existing reports. As a result, I configured the ReportServer when I installed SSRS on the new 2012 instance. What
I am trying to do now is figure out a way to move the existing reports and subscriptions. We have looked at two tools, rsscripter.exe, which fails to run and another tool that moves the rdl but nothing else.
Because I configured SSRS when I did the install, I don't believe I can detach the SQL Server 2005 ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB databases and attach them or restore them to my new SQL 2012 SSRS. If this is the case then can I export the data
from the 2005 ReportServer database over into the new 2012 database? I would then need to script the SSRS subscription SQL Agent jobs from the 2005 instance and run those scripts on the new 2012 instance.
Lee Markum

Hi Lee,
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) currently doesn’t include a feature for migrating content items and settings from one Reporting Services report server to another report server. The following are two methods you can use to migrate the content (including
reports and subscriptions)and settings.
RSS Scripts: Create RSS scripts that are used by rs.exe to migrate the content of Reporting Services, between reports servers of the same mode or different modes. For more information, see
Sample Reporting Services rs.exe Script to Migrate Content between Report Servers. RS.exe is installed by Reporting Services.
Reporting Services Migration Tool: Run this tool to migrate the content from a Native mode report server to a SharePoint mode report server. The tool exports content from the source server to disk and then imports the content to the destination server.
For more details, please see
Migrating Content Between Report Servers.
Besides, if we want to move the report server databases that are used in an installation SQL Server Database Engine to an instance that is on a different computer, we can refer to the following document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/ms156421(v=sql.110).aspx
Hope this helps.

Concerning midi data in GarageBand for iOS: can we copy midi data from one virtual instrument to another?

Concerning midi data in GarageBand for iOS: can we copy midi data from one virtual instrument to another?
For instance: I play my "lucky take" on the virtual piano, and now I am curious how it would sound on let's say a organ. Normally I would select the midi content out of the piano track and copy it into the organ track. I cannot figure out how to do this in GarageBand for iOS. Is there anyone out there with a solution?
Thanks!

It is limited, how you can move regions between tracks. Basically, you can move between tracks with the same touch instrument. See the help: http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/2.0/index.html#chsec12c15d
Move a region
Drag the region left or right to move it forward or back in time. Align the left edge of the region with the bar or beat on the ruler where you want it to start playing.
Drag the region up or down to move it to another track with the same Touch Instrument. You can also drag regions between Keyboard and Sampler tracks, and between Audio Recorder and Guitar Amp tracks. Smart Drums regions cannot be dragged to another Smart Drums track.
If you move a region so that it overlaps another region, the overlapped part of the “covered” region is deleted.
Paste a region
You can paste a region you have copied, or paste an audio file from an app that supports copying audio to the clipboard. GarageBand supports 44.1 kHz sample rate, 16-bit depth uncompressed audio files.
You can paste copied regions to another track with the same Touch Instrument. You can also paste regions between Keyboard and Sampler tracks, and between Audio Recorder and Guitar Amp tracks. Smart Drums regions cannot be pasted to another Smart Drums track. Audio files copied from another app can be pasted to Audio Recorder or Guitar Amp tracks.
Move the playhead to the point where you want the region to start.
Tap the header of the track where you want to paste the region to select the track.
Tap the track where you want to paste the region, then tap Paste.You can also tap an empty area of Tracks view, then tap Paste. In this case the region is pasted into the currently selected track.

How to pass data from one UIBB to anothere UIBB in OIF/GAF - FPM

Dear all,
as of now i am using FPM only for displaying data from different components.
now i would like to pass the data from one UIBB to another by calling second UIBB on action of a button. (instead of using standard path in GAF scenario)
how could i achieve this. is there any difference mechanism's for UIBB's of single component and UIBB's from different different components.
it would be great if some one can explain or help me reg this issue on both OIF and GAF FPM's.
Thanks in Advance.
Best Regards,

I've actually combined these two approaches to data sharing - I've passed a class reference in the shared data component. This is nice (in my opinion) because it is very obvious where the data is coming from and who it is shared with. It also means that there is not a huge overhead in passing data through the shared context, because you are just replicating a reference to a class instance.
And - you don't have to deal with singleton classes :-). So if you want/need to extend your implementation at a later date (for example embedding multiple instances of the same "app" in the one window - or suspending and resuming to another instance of the same app you can then do this. (NB - suspend resume to launch another FPM app does not work because of this (amongst other things)).
NB a shared data component need not be faceless! I certainly have "shared data" UIBBs that also have UI components - possibly not best practice - but it certainly can be done.
Cheers,
Chris

Problem while migrating the extensions from one instance to the other.

Hi,
We are using kintana workbench to migrate the objects from one instance to the other. But after migrating From Instance1 to Intance2 it ws fine. Working properly in Instance2. But when the same package is migrated to Instance3, all are migrated successfully and log files are showing proerly. But when i access the pages in Instance3, I am getting the errors on the page above like this:
ViewObject attribute is null; ViewUsageName: (ScorecardSummaryVO1); RegionItem: (LastUpdateLogin)
Can some let me know what could be the problem.
Thanks.

user555006,
Error shows that LastUpdateLogin item on the page has no proper VO attribute attached. Hence it seems that the MDS data is not updated properly. Upload the page again and test.

How can I Move data from one column to another in my access table?

I have two columns, one that stores current month’s data and one that stores last month’s data. Every month data from column 2 (this month’s data) needs to be moved to column 1 that holds last month’s data. I then null out column 2 so I can accumulates this month’s data.
I understand how to drop a column or add a column, how do I transfer data from one column to another.
Here is my trial code:
<cfquery name="qQueryChangeColumnName" datasource="#dsn#">
ALTER TABLE leaderboard
UPDATE leaderboard SET points2 = points3
</cfquery>
Unfortunately, I get the following error:
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in ALTER TABLE statement.
How can I transfer my data with the alter table method?

I looked up the Access SQL reference (which is probably a
good place to start when having issues with Access SQL), and
it suggests you probably need a WHERE clause in there.
I agree the documentation is a good place to start. But you should not need a WHERE clause here.
Too few parameters. Expected 1.
If you run the SQL directly in Access, what are the results? At the very least, it should provide a more informative error message..
