Problem in Workflow matching step

Hi,
I am facing a problem in Workflow matching step. I have user kaushikb assigned to it.
Execution Type: Any Single, Assignee Type: User and Execution Type: Any Single.
Match Record Scope: Records vs Records, Strategy: MDM_NAME.
This Strategy: MDM_NAME is based on 3 rules: MDM_NAME1, MDM_NAME2 and MDM_NAME3.
MDM_NAME1 is done based on transformations MDM_NAME1[XFM], MDM_NAME2[XFM] and MDM_NAME3[XFM].
Now my problem is even after matching and merging a large number of records it is not going to
the next step. Do I need to match and merge all duplicate records? If the Matching process is rerun
the score becomes less as the same records are compared again. After this the link assume gets activated and then clicking it activates the next step.
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

Hi Kaushik,
Match step is an Automated step in the MDM workflow.On selecting this step you need to mention the strategy that needs to run on the records to match them.When you reach the Match step you need to Perform the step to run the mentioned Strategy .
When you Perform the Match step it will display the Matching result provided you select the Matching mode in MDM data manager.
You can merge or not merge the matched records Once your Matching is performed by the system, You can move your Workflow to the Next step which is Process.
When you are selecting Any single as your execution type it means you have more tahn one user for executing this task but you want any single one of them to perform it.
So whenever you have selected Any single as the excution type for any process .The user accepting to perfrom the task needs to Accept the task .
So when User1 wants to perform the task he will have to select Accept and then proceed with the task.
When the owner of the workflow is testing the entire workflow he needs to Assume the task as he is not the Assigned user but the Assumed one.
So if you have build your workflows correctly and moving in step as explained you should be able to select the next step
You can follow the below link to understand the process better:

Experiencing problems with workflow- validate step

I am experiencing problems with workflow->validate step in Hyperion FDM.
I am not able to export unmapped dimension members to Excel.
Earlier everything worked fine.
But now all of a sudden it has become a serious problem.
when I click Export to Excel,processing starts and it's never coming to an end.
Every thing is getting stuck up.
Could any one suggest solution to this as it is delaying my deliverable.

Try opening excel first, then doing the export from FDM.

Workflow start step performs Exclusive checkout

We need to upload data to records that are in workflow and checked out by the workflow start step. Unfortunately the workflow start step performs an Exclusive checkout of the record which means that the background MDM Impor Server user cannot automatically join the checkout, the user first needs to be invited to the checkout, which needs a manual step of modifying the join permissions of the checkout, which is not what we want to do.
I have also noticed that when an existing record is checked out Exclusively the user's roles are pulled through into the permitted roles section of the join permission screen of the checkout. When a new record is checked out Exclusively the user's roles are not pulled through to the permitted roles section of the join permission screen of the checkout. This looks like a bug to me.
We are using MDM 7.1 SP08.
Please advise any workarounds to this problem. I can think of a few, but none are very elegant, e.g.:
1. Use API to invite import user to checkout before import is started (requires coding)
2. Get the user that owns the workflow to manually invite the import user (not guaranteed to remember)
3. Complete workflow and stat new wokflow without chekout before import is started.
Any advice will be appreciated.

Hi Johann,
I got you point.
Its not a bug in MDM these are the constraints in MDM :(.
To understand more read section CHECKOUT AND WORKFLOW FAILURE CONDITIONS of the import manager refernce guide.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmdm71/helpdata/en/4b/72b8e7a42301bae10000000a42189b/MDMImportManager71.pdf
In our lanscape we too have a scenario where we are creating/ records in MDM leaving Material Number Blank (Record Add workflow).
But once this record with balnk Material Number is syndicated to source system we stop this workflow.
Now from source system through change pointer we get a file immediately with material Number and MDMID.
which we process through MDIS and trigger another workflow(Record Import)
I guess this matches with the third option you described to start and stop workflow and trigger import.

Problems with color matching when printing...

Hi, I work for a small family business in the P.O.P. industry. We currently have myself and one other designer, we both take illustrator files that have come from the graphic design firm that we contract with and get them ready to print on our Vutek QS3200. However ever since acquiring the printer we have begun to run into problems with the colors when printing. When the files are exported off of my computer, I use either .tif or .pdf files, they print as they should, the colors seem to match the proof and everything goes smoothly. However when the other designer exports a file, he tends to do mainly pdfs, the colors tend to be extremely different from where we want them. Also we will get very strange results, such as yesterday he kept getting a faint yellow 1/2" border around his prints. After I believe 3+ hours of him trying, I was given the original CD and instructed to try. After 15-20 minutes of making the changes that we needed to make (adding a new price point) and ripping, mine printed perfectly.
We both use Macs, both have CS3 Design standard, only differences between the computers are mine is newer and a bit faster, and I'm running OS 10.5.6 and he has 10.4. He has also at some point loaded various color profiles, whereas my CS package is just whatever the default is when I loaded it. When we were being trained he grabbed the color profile off of the Colorburst RIP server and loaded onto his computer, plus I believe he has a couple for freelancing purposes on there as well. My thought is that these profiles are somehow corrupting the files that are going through that computer, but I honestly am lost with it at the moment. He believes the problem lies within the fact that he does not have the newer OS, I honestly cannot see that as having any effect on this at all. I was wondering if anyone has run into any similar problems, or if anyone might have any advice on this issue? I would really like to be able to solve this, as I was hired to do mainly structural design for the P.O.P. and I'm having to put in a lot of overtime to get my work done along with the additional work that I'm having to do.
Thanks for your time

I've got a few years experience calibrating large format printers. First, the Yellow sounds like a file problem. I used to work with two workstations, one PC ( RIP station ), and one Mac ( file prep station ). I tend to agree with you in that the OS is probably not the problem. But, any Colorburst profiles should remain in the RIP, not in the originator application. My workflow consisted of creating EPS files that were based on established color settings in their given applications ( i.e., Illustrator, Photoshop ) which were interpreted by the RIP which had it's own calibrated profile ( perhaps more than one based on how many different substrates were being used ). Your partner may be complicating things by incorporating a RIP profile prematurely. If there are deviations big enough to be noticed, there has to be something in the application color settings that is causing some type of corruption. This could lead back to the operating system, but I would think it lies somewhere in Bridge or the application color settings. Start there. You should seriously consider implementing a calibration system if you do not have one already. Another slight possibility is the driver's ability to interpret files coming out of Leopard vs. files coming out of Tiger. It may benefit you both to be in the same operating system dynamics, using the same driver versions and RIP profiles. At the very least, match everything that is currently working successfully and put them on both machines. If there is still a noticeable problem in color matching, then something is seriously wrong and you should call in a prepress profiling expert. Hope this helps.

Download Problems with iTunes Match

I'm having problems with iTunes Match, upload the songs are done and had great difficulty with the freezing of steps.
I'm not able to make the songs appear in iTunes: http://pqp.me/7qr
and when I get the songs come I can not download:http://pqp.me/7qq
Can you help me?

I don't know what you mean by this. Do you mean you can't figure out how to get off that screen? Click the "done" button.
This is just to say that I managed to sync with iTunes Match, in my other notebook I can not do the songs appear.
Vinny Bastos wrote:

You're connection the iTunes Match servers is offline. That's why the songs are greyed out and the cloud icon has the horozontal lines in it. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, re-launch the application and wait until the tracks are no longer greyed out and you will be able to download them.
That part you answered, thanks.
How often iTunes Match is off? Sometimes?

Problems in workflow builder

Hi,
I am facing problems in workflow builder and tasks while i am creating a custom workflow template.
1) binding between task and workflow does not work. One of the container element value is getting passed from the task to the workflow while others are not getting passed. All these are part of the same binding.
2) the workflow container elements are not available in the steps of the workflow. eg, in a condition step i am comparing two container elements, it is failing, its taking balnk values. also in send mail step i have included a continer elements in description. i see nothing there. means the container elements are blank for the send mail step.
3) the binding betw the task and the method simple dissappears (thrd Binding betw task and method dissappears !! )
kindly provide and advice or suggestions
thank you very much

Hi,
I have sent a mail to the email address mentioned in your profile. I will try to find a place in sdn where i cud upload the screen shots.
Yes it look as though the data is not available at the time of the condition step. But how could that be as it is the business object attribute and that has to be available at any point in the workflow for all the workflow steps. I have used it several times in other workflow templates.
I have done the following
created new workflow template and put bus2091-created as start event
extended business object and added several new attributes and defined each attribute. some of them are virtual and some are database attribute. And while coding the definition of the virtual attribute, which is pretty complex logic, i have used the database attributes of the same business object.
the first step in the workflow was activity step . in which i called BO method to get soem data. eg frist name, last name of the creator. i did not export anything to the method, only imported the first name, last name because inside the method i use object-_essr-ernam to get the creator user id and then i find the names of this user id
the second step is the condtion step where i check the attribute of the business object. the attribute which are database attributes are available. but those which are virtual attributes are totally blank.
when i trigger the workflow, the condition result always fails as there are no values available. and in swi1 i can see that those values are very much there in the business object instance.
is it so that these attributes are populated later than the time when condition step is called ? if yes, then why does the workflow processing reach the condition step ? it should first process all the initial steps, ie completely instantiate the business object and then it should start the steps of workflow. am i right ?
is it because i have used the database attributes of the BO in order to build logic in the definition of the virtual attributes ? for eg. instead of using object-_essr-createdby, should i use only object-key-entrysheet. then write select statement on essr table for whatever entrysheet data i want and then carry on with my coding for the virtual attribute ??
thank you

BPF matched steps hierarchy

Hi gurus,
I've the following issue, i want to implement an aprobation circuit with BPF.
For this i have a dimension with a hierarchy:
Country
Region North
Plant1
Sales Rep A
Sales Rep B
Plant2
Sales Rep C
Sales Rep D
Region South
Plant3
Sales Rep E
Sales Rep F
Plant4
Sales Rep G
Sales Rep H
I developed a BPF with steps
Sales Rep insert data, Plant manager review it. So this is the first step with owner and reviewer.
The next step is Regional review so when the first step is closed a new step where the owner is the Region Manager and the reviewer is the Country Manager.
The problem comes when i created the step regions for the first step I enter: COUNTRY --> BAS
And when i created step regions for the second sted i enter : COUNTRY--> DEP (matched step region)
But i cannot validated the bpf template, because the step regions for step1 is not the same that for step 2.
I want for example when plant4 and plant3 close the step for the regional mannager open is that possible anyway. Am i missing anything?
Thank you in advance

Hi Michelle,
After not getting any response on the forums we asked SAP directly and the answer was that the completed steps were not designed to be locked on BPC 10. The great news is that on SAP BPC NW SP08 they released an enhancement implementing this feature. Please check the note 1741090.
You should also check note 1703032 it is the central note of the SP08 release and it has several enhancements.
Hope it helps.

Please tell me if you have the same problem or how I can report this problem to apple.
Thank you.

Refresh record matching step - HOW!!!!!!

Import status is telling me to "Refresh record matching step", but my refresh record matching button (next to the save button) is greyed out! I'm just trying to import the simplist of Excel files with straight mapping of 4 basic text fields to a newly created empty table in a repository.
Message was edited by: Brian Vanderwiel
...Still stuck on this one - it's driving me crazy - I decided to add more details here in initial post:
1) In console, I created a new repository. Within that new repository, I created a new flat table called Company Code with four fields: BUKRS (text 4, unique/diplay), BUTXT (text 25, display), ORT01 (text 25, display), LAND1 (text 3)
2) The repository is loaded in the console
3) I exported test data from T001 table into an Excel file to be loaded. Example of data:
BUKRS     BUTXT             ORT01             LAND1
0001     SAP A.G.     Walldorf     DE
1001     Company xxxxx     PARIS, TX     US
4) In Import manager, I selected the Excel file as the source, and the Company Code table as the target. The source preview showed the Excel file contents correctly.
5) On the Partition Field/Value tab, it shows BUTXT, LAND1, ORT01 as Available fields, and Partition by: BUKRS. I did not change this.
6) On the Map Fields/Values tab, I choose Automap. A green zig-zag now appears next to the four source fields and the four target fields. Each source field is mapped to it's correct target field. In the Value Conversion and Mapping area, the Source values window shows all the values from the Excel file with a converted value and no destination value. The status bar message shows "53 of 53 values converted". The Destination values window shows a value of <NULL> for BUKRS, BUTXT, and ORT01, and nothing for LAND1. The buttons in the middle are grayed out, and the Map checkbox is not checked.
7) This the point at which the "Import Status" is telling me to "Refresh Record Matching Step". The Match Records tab shows the four "Mapped Destination Fields", no "Matching Fields", and the Add/Remove/Combine/Split buttons are grayed out no matter what I click on. The entire "Record Matching" box below is blank.
...I read through much of the Help and did not find where I have gone wrong.
Points will of course be rewarded where appropriate.

Hi Brian,
Please make sure if you have done value conversion and map the key fild properly and take care of following steps
1)In match records Tab(next to map fields) just see if you have added a field to your right hand window pane.this combination would actually uniquely identify your records.Atleast select one field there.
2)In import status tab strip First check what message it is giving.If in right hand side window pane it shows that there are records it has matched and you are doing this for first time then choose 'CREATE' or if you want you can choose REPLACE but that only when you have created the records once.
Hope this helps

hi Guprit,
based on my experience you must trace why your workflow is wait.
is it because the workflow is waiting for certain events ?
or is it because of an error occured in the step 3 of the workflow ?
if the worfklow is waiting for certain events, you can force it to continue with triggering the events that workflow wait ( transaction code SWUE )
if an error occured in the step 3 of the workflow, you need to trace it what kind of error .... and for certain case after you fix the error you can continue the workflow by using tcode SWPR and restart the workflow after error.
but unfortunatelly based on my experience, some times the workflow just stuck in the middle of the process and no error occured
it this happens, ussually i re-triggered the workflow
hopes it helps
cheers

Hi Arshad
Suggest you to go through the documentation before actually doing it at least once.
Pl check this link:
https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/ibc-srm
You will find scenario specific config guides for EBP40. Download the config guide for self-service procurement and gothrough workflow configuration section. This is still the same in SRM50 also.

Workflow : Mail Step Problem

Hi,
I am getting a peculiar problem with Mail step. I am getting the following ERROR :
<i><b>Work Item XXX Object YYY method SWW_BI_EXECUTE_S cannot be executed</b></i>
What could be the problem?
All the containers are properly BINDED are getting passed to the Mail Step.
Regards,
Raja Sekhar

If you are using the standard Selfitem.SendTaskDescription method and are getting the error, one or more of the values being passed could be wrong. Check if Workflow technical log has more info on the error.

Problem in Workflow during activity step with "Requested start" time.

Hi,
I am working on SAP workflow.
In my workflow there is a activity step (wait step) where the workflow should wait before going to step after that wait step. To achieve this, I have used requested start as +10 min with WIS workitem creation. After 10 min, the workflow should proceed to further step but my workflow does not go further.
It was working good I tested couple of days back but now it doesn't. Can someone please help ?
Thanks.
Regards,
Rajesh.

Please check the settings in SWU3. Most probably the settings is not correct. You will get a lot of discussion from this forum if you search with SWU3.
