Problem in workflow transports

Hi guys,
I have a strange problem like I made some modifications in PO release wf. It is working fine in Development and it was working fine in Production also for a couple of wks. But I do not know what has happened suddenly, it is taking the oldest version of the workflow . Is there any specific way in transporting workflows.
Please reply back to me asap , as it is creating lot of problems to us.
Thanks

hi,
i faced a similar issue, probably this should help u out :
Phenomenon:
You have changed your workflow template in client 000. If you look to the workflow definition in another client with SWDD, then you see the newest version as just maintained in client 000. But at runtime, the old (former) version of the workflow definition is used.
Cause:
When activating a workflow template, then also some client specific data is replicated from client 000 to the other clients. In this replication there is currently an error. I just talked to a workflow colleague. The problem we have observed seems to be just the tip of an iceberg ... . They are working on the issue(s) related to this.
Workaround:
Execute function module SWD_WFD_REPLICATE_FROM_9999 in the client, you need to have the newest template definition. Enter your workflow template ID (with pattern "WSxxxxxxxx") in parameter IM_TASK and execute. Make sure that you do not lock the template in SWDD.
Then you also (may) need to execute transaction SWU_OBUF to synchronize the buffer.
i hope this should work.

Problem when i transported DTP from DEV to QA

I am facing a problem when i transported DTP from DEV to QA It is not in the folder were it have to be,but i can see it in RSBKDTP table of QA

Hi,
One info regarding DTP, Technical name will get differ from system to system through out the landscape ( Dev, QA, Prod) . So you have to search with Description of the DTP instead of technical name.

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:

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.

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

Problems related to transport

Hi,
I have transport A and transport B.
A contains - CL_ABC and currently is under progress.
B conatins - test cases which are under class CL_ABC.
Now the problem is I have released B and I am still working on CL_ABC which is under transport A.
Will it create a problem? What can be the resolution? Or when I release transport A, work done under B will also work fine???
Please help.
Regards,
Arpit

Hi Arpit Goyal,
Generally you should transport firstly A and then B because B contains some test cases regarding to A. But you trabsported firstly B right? .. No problem you can transport A, after transporting this request A your program will be workig fine.
Note : Program is not generated when you released the request B, you should release A also. After relese this your program will be working fine.

Workflow - Transport

Hi All,
Please let me know steps / checks to be taken care before and after Transport of Workflow across systems.
We have defined Business Objects, Workflow Definition, Organization Structure, Customizing Setting, Prefix Number Range under various tasks and TR.
1. Is there any sequence in which various task / TR is to be released?
2. What steps to be taken care after TR is released?
3. Will the Organization Structure, Assignment etc be transported after releasing of TR?
Appreciate your inputs.
Regards,
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
Normally you release the transports in the order they are created. If this is the first time anything's transported the sequence shouldn't be a problem. mostly because one object is in one transport, but double checking couldn't hurt.
After your transports are transported refresh the buffers so the changes will take effect. Also check your agent assignments. If you have defined any tasks as general tasks, you have to do this again on the target systems.
If the Organization Structure will be transported depends on your settings. Normally if you use HR the organizational Structure will not be transported because it is maintained on the Productive system.
These are some points I could give, but I don't think this is conclusive and others can maybe give some additions.

Martin

Issues implementing "workflow transports"

hi all!
I am trying to configure a simple workflow for change requests (transport):
In stms, the workflow engine has beend define. For the moment no QA. RFC is fine and my user has been defined as approver for all request(system, projet, number ='*').
When an order is released the pop up appears and i can fill all the required information. Test is ok, i send the request. A message says that everything is fine, waiting for admin approval.
But i don't recieve anything in my stms inbox. However i can see it if i use the search tool.
I have a sap_all, do i need a special profile to do so?
Thank your help,
Regards,
Julien
Edit:
additional question: is there any way to know who is of charge of a proposal request approbation ?...
Edited by: Julien LE GAL on Feb 25, 2009 10:54 PM

finally the problem was because of an old rfc customizing..
Other question: we have two environemments where we can create transport request. From the controller, transport workflows are working fine.
From the other one, i can only send requests to the controller.
Any idea?

Julien

Workflow transport dependencies

Hi ,
I am about the transport my workflow to quality system and I cant afford to miss out on dependencies etc as the testing demo is to start tomorrow.
Could you please advice me on the order of transports given the problems of dependent objects you faced ?
this is the order of transport planned :-
position in org staffing
extended BO
Function Module used in method
Rule used in workflow template
Tasks used in workflow template
Workflow template
agent assignment of the tasks
start events
start conditions
Any comment would be very useful,,........
thanks very much
R

example -
busines object method uses> function module
If FM go first, as it is standalone, I mean it is not calling BO method so wont search for it calling point. dont worry
task uses> busines object method
they can go together
workflow template uses> task
they can go together
so suppose a situation is that workflow template reaches when the task is not there in QA system then does it create error so much so that even after task is imported into QA, the workflow template will still be erroneous ? and will involve retransport of workflow template ?
Dont worry, just transport it nothing wrong will happen, if accidentally some thing goes wrong, you can always re transport it.
If you still think that it will create issue, talk to your Basis Admin he/she will create transport of requests for you and then you dont have to care about sequencing issue.
Cheers

Problem with WorkFlow of Purchase Orders related to non active employees

Dear all,
We are running into issues with the WorkFlow when people are linked to a PO who are not anymore an active employee. That will give problems in the workflow as those people are logically not going to goods receipt/invoice reciept/approve those invoices.
How should we deal with this problem?
We are thinking about a solution like creating an overview of ALL purchase orders (without Goods Receipt) in which the creator, project manager or project sponsor of that specific PO is not anymore an active employee.
Could someone please advise the right solution?
Thanks in advance.

Experts? Anyone?

hi
vicky just went through your Query regarding release
of requests..first of all U be sure of TMS configuration
see whether it is consistent or not.then after Refresh
the system and then come to release of requests.
its true that we can transport through scc1 but first
check about STMS configuration and the way you set
that.

Problem with SPAU Transports after Upgrade and after applying SAPKW70016

Dear All,
we copied old dev to new QA, upgraded new QA, then copied new QA to new DEV.
did the SPAU adjustments in DEV. At that time DEV SAP_BW version was SAPKW70015. After that we applied SAPKW70016. Now we're having problems with the SPAU transport because of the application of SAPKW70016.
Requested to kindly suggest ASAP.

Problem in workflow

Hello,
There is an urgent issue regarding workflow. The workflow gets triggered by SWE_EVENT_CREATE from a z-function module. The parameters passed while triggering are Approver1, Approver2, first_approver and payment method. The problem is, In some cases, the workflow fails at the start and workitem doesn't go the 1st approver inbox for a particular user. After 6-7 errors, the triggering event got deactivated automatically.
The data passed to the workflow even in case of error is correct and the binding is also correct.
The scenario is in the production server and cant be simulated in quality server since the same data is working fine in the quality server.
The error log for the document in error shows the folowing error:
Diagnosis
When the work item no. 1160113 sent a response message, an inconsistency was found in the related workflow definition: Node no. 1 has a line but no node definition or step definition.
The respective workflow task (definition no. , version ) may have been changed during the workflow execution in a way which is not allowed.
System Response
The workflow is forced into the error status and stopped.
Procedure
Check and correct the workflow definition. You can display the structure (nodes and lines) of the workflow definition in the workflow builder via the menu function 'Extras' -> 'Techn. information' -> 'Definition structure' and -> 'Runtime structure'.
Extras -> Technical information -> Definition structure or
Extras -> Technical information -> Runtime structure
It may be possible to correct the error by activating the workflow or by using the special function Extras -> Special functions -> Block correction.
The same workflow is working for other users properly.
Can anybody please help me with this. Its really urgent.
Thanks in advance.
Radhika
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Apr 7, 2008 12:42 PM

Hi Radhika,
You can activate the event trace by SWE4 transaction.
After you switch it on, execute your workflow once and check the event trace in SWEL.
Once you open the Event trace, check the following to diagnose the problem:
1. See if the workflow actually got triggered.
2. If yes, go into the details of the WF, and check the technical settings. In this you can actually check at which step the WF failed.
3. Once you determine the erronous step, check the container.
4. Check both the workflow container as well as the task container.
5. check the Bindings between the various containers.
Post the scenario once you have pinpointed the exact or the probable cause.
Hope this helps.

Problem in XI transport

Hi,
We are having a common SLD for development and production environment. We have a set of business systems, belonging to third party technical system, from which we get files and we post them to R3. Each business system has a logical system name associated with it. The scenarios are working fine and now we are planning to transport them to production.
Here we have a problem. The logical names(Partner names in ERP) used by business systems in development and production are same. In SLD, we are not able to create new business system for production transport group with same logical system names, since they have already been taken up in development group. And without transport group assignment configuration objects are not getting transported to production.
Can we have a work around which would solve this problem?
Thanks,
Bhavish

Hi Barry,
I did not understand what you mean by DEV, PRD etc. Do you mean having separate instances of SAP XI? Well, they are in place. However, we have one common SLD for all.
Moreover, the partner names used in all systems are identical. And all these partners are business systems belonging to Third Party Technical Systems in SLD. So ther's no chance of having separate logical system names since there are no distiction based on client.
Hi VJ,
I have thought about solution you suggested. However, it is not possible to make changes to Partner Profiles now since testing has been done and approved. Moreover, client has been trained on using these. So any modification would not be appreciated.
Please let me know if we could create Two Business Systems having same logical system name. In general, it is not possible. However, is there a work around?
Thanks,
Bhavish

Problem with file transport

Hi ,
I am transporting some of my XI 3.0 objects from XIQA to XIPROD.
When I am importing the objects in XIP I am getting numbers of problem.
1- Scenarios SOAP to RFC . when I am activating the objects it saying
Communication Channel | PRD_400 | RFC_QA3_Receiver:
Enter a value for attribute 'Application Server'
Enter a value for attribute 'System Number'
Enter a value for attribute 'Logon User'
Enter a value for attribute 'Logon Password'
Enter a value for attribute 'Logon Language'
Enter a value for attribute 'Logon Client'
Do I need to Give these values manually again as they are moved from Env to other?
2- Why my Receiver communiation channel coimg as
Communication Channel | PRD_400 | RFC_QA3_Receiver:
As this PROD env it should come PR3 in place of QA3.
I have also transport other interfaces in PROD but in that there was no such problem with Communication channel Name.
Regards

Do I need to Give these values manually again as they are moved from Env to other?
When we transport ID objects, the values stored in the channel get lost and have to be manually enetered......it happens even for DEV --> QA environment.
Now your channel should reflect PROD-related data.
2- Why my Receiver communiation channel coimg as
Communication Channel | PRD_400 | RFC_QA3_Receiver:
The channel name does not depend on the environment it is present....verify the name once again!

Abhishek.
