Process steps

i have a workflow job to accomplish right now, starting with asking the user to fill a form, then the process finds the supervisor of the user and ending with delivering the form to him/her, sounds easy- really is.
but the problem is that i want to start with FindUser, then user information is going to be written on the form, such as id, name and lastname. And then, on the third step, the form can be screened by the user.
In order to accomplish those, the process isn't supposed to have an input form variable. I am using Task Manager endpoint and I got this error: "Processes using Task Manager endpoint are not allowed to start without an input form."
I am wondering if there is another way to accomplish these sequence.
Thanks in advance,
MC

i do want to initiate my workflow over Workspace. i know my other possibilities. but i am wondering if there is another way to accomplish what i mentioned in my previous post, use workspace to invoke the process, but on the third step i want the form to pop up.
(start)findUser --> Execute --> AssignTask -->...
After the findUser retrieves the information of the process creator and assigns them into a variable, execute function takes some those data, such as id, name and last name, and assigns the values into some fields in the form. And finally on the AssignTask step, i want the form to be screened and form filling would be assigned to the process creator. So, process creator would see the form with necessary information on some fields, and would not be able to change the content of those.
i am guessing, i explained my case clearly.
any solutions or advice will be appreciated.
thanks in advance,
MC

Issue in implementing Dynamic participant chooser process Step

I am facing issue in implementing Participant chooser process Step.
I want to create dynamic Participant chooser process Step, I have implemented 'ParticipantStepChooser' class and overwrote 'getParticipant' method. But this process did not appear in Dynamic participant chooser dropdown in CQ5.6 environment.
I deployed same code in CQ5.5 and process appeared in Dynamic participant chooser dropdown.
This is the sample code which I have used:
@Component(immediate = true, metatype = true, label = "DMP Config Service123")
@Service
@Properties({
        @Property(name = Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION, value = "A sample implementation of a dynamic participant chooser.", propertyPrivate=true),
        @Property(name = Constants.SERVICE_VENDOR, value = "Adobe", propertyPrivate=true),
        @Property(name = ParticipantStepChooser.SERVICE_PROPERTY_LABEL, value = "******** Hello ********", propertyPrivate=true),
        @Property(name = "immediate" , value = "true", propertyPrivate=true)
public class MyDynamicParticipant implements ParticipantStepChooser {
    private static final String TYPE_JCR_PATH = "JCR_PATH";
    @Activate
void activate(ComponentContext context) {
LoggerUtil.infoLog(this.getClass(), " ");
    public String getParticipant(WorkItem workItem, WorkflowSession workflowSession, MetaDataMap args) throws WorkflowException {
LoggerUtil.infoLog(this.getClass(), "inside getParticipant method{} ");
        WorkflowData workflowData = workItem.getWorkflowData();
        if (workflowData.getPayloadType().equals(TYPE_JCR_PATH)) {
String path = workflowData.getPayload().toString();
String pathFromArgument = args.get("PROCESS_ARGS", String.class);
if (pathFromArgument != null && path.startsWith(pathFromArgument)) {
return "admin";
        return "administrators";

How can you tell if a process step is already being processed?

Further to my last note regarding assigned a process step to multiple users, how can you determine if the step is currently being processed by another user? When opening a task which has already been opened by another user, the message "The following action has been opened by another 1 user(s)...."
I would like to prevent the second user from making any changes to the object if it's already been opened by another user, hence this request.
Thx!

How to provide transition comment while completing a process step

Out of the box, we can indicate transition comment for participant steps when completing a inbox item, which is then displayed as a subheading of a inbox item for next step - which is really helpful.
but, how can i provide a transition comment, when completing a process step.
I see the complete method, but dont see where i can provide transition comment.
complete(WorkItem item, Route route)
Environment CQ 5.5

Its workitem metadata which holds the comments info. Can you try this if it works
workitem.getWorkflowData().getMetaData(); which will return the dictionary object and set "comment" in this object.

How to use a servlet in a Workflow process step.

Hi
I need am upgrading existing code from cq 5.4 to CQ 5.5.
The exsiting code uses a servlet with an injected @MailService reference to send emails. It is currently used as a process step service.
However, with CQ 5.5 I see that I need to implement the WorkFlowProcess interface, to see this class listed as in the Process step drop down list.
The issue I have is if I keep the class as a Servlet extension , it does not show up in the drop down list of the process step.
Is there a way to update the code to list this servlet as a process step?
Or is there a way to inject the MailService reference into a class which only implements the "WorkflowProcess" interface and is not a servlet ?
advice appreciated.
thanks
Ven

The implementation of WorkflowProcess is to be deployed as an OSGi service, so you can @Reference the MailService in that class.

2 Logical Components for 1 Business Process Step

Hello All,
I'm looking for a way to assign in SolMan --> transaction Solar01 - Tab Structure - Business Process Step, 2 logical components for 1 business step. When creating the business step I have to assign 1 specific logical component to this step. Once I have done this I can only select the chosen logical component ffor SAP Transactions, configuration object etc.. As my business step is running on 2 different systems I need to find a way to link transactions etc. in the step to the different systems. Is there any way to change this for the Level 3 elements, like it is for level 2 (business processes) where I can choose in the different tabs between all the logical components?
Thanks in advance
Ramó

I've seen people use some absolute craziness to get more than three levels. The most extreme being using multiple projects at the highest level (i.e. a project for PTP Accounts Payable). Don't go there.
I personally like to have 1 transaction per process step. Don't use the transaction tab as another process level, use it to better describe the process step (like all the other tabs are uses). It results in a better understanding of the system as you go forward. To do that I make teams break up things they think are one step (this can take some arm twisting, so hit the gym and maybe take a few judo classes).
This allows you to use SolMan in more powerful ways. For instance, if you attach development objects to a step with 5 transactions, you cannot tell which transaction is modified by the development object. However, one transaction per node provides you this link. There are other examples, but basically the "where used" button becomes very useful when you have 1 transaction per node.
Maybe you could provide a specific example of your process and we can think of a better way to collapse it.
Such as:
- PTP Non-Merchandise Purchasing
-- Expense Purchasing
--- Create Purchase Requisition
--- Create Purchase Order (Assign Vendor & Price)
--- Send to Vendor
--- Post Goods Receipt
--- Perform LIV
--- Process Payment
Some companies have 6 level processes already defined in models and putting it into SolMan can be a pain for sure. Your naming convention is usually the best route.

Jason

Dear Friends,
How to stop the process chain showing status as yellow but no process step is running in that process chain.

Handling unit process step by step

Dear All,
We intend to use handling unit functionality.
Our FG let's say FG001 gets packed in container.
I have mapped this as following.
I have created 'Container' as code with material type VERP- Packaging Material. Maintained the required data in Sales org. tab page.
I have created packing instruction in POP1 with container as packing material & FG001 as material.
I have maintained the determination record in POF1 (Frankly I didn't understand the relevance of this step, but did cos has been suggested in several threads.)
Now I have to perform the packing process of FG001 in HU02.
But system is throwing me an error as 'No packing instruction could be found for material FG001', message no. VHUPD002.
I have stuck up there. Kind request you to help me in this, regarding any configuration & processing step, if I am missing.
Also I am few questions to get clear.
1. How to maintain the batch no. of packing material 'Container' while creating/ generating HU as my packing material is batch managed, and need to have information in which HU the batch of packing material is utilized.
2. What happens to the stock statement (MMBE)of both the materials i.e. FG001 & Container when those are get packed i.e. HU created/ generated.
Please respond urgently.
Timely answers will be rewarded.
Mimiri

VS,
Thanks once again.
You got it right. I was confused as I was unable to understand why packing material is not moving along with the FG material.
Moreover our packing material is container. Once it is packed container moves from plant to plant & then to final destination.
As we have to track the movement of the container, it was necessary for us to the have stock statement.
I am still surprised why standard SAP doesn't support the movement of the packing material along with the contents i.e. FG?
Now to tackle this, we have thought of a way out.
We have maintained two material codes for container. one is dummy container and second is main container for which we have to track the goods movement. Both will be having same material type as VERP but only difference is later won't be having packing material type in sales view. So it will act as normal material.
While creating HU with HU02, both the materials with quantities will be entered in pack material section. Dummy packing material serve as packing material. Here my question is what is HU creation & HU generation? Because system is throwing me an error while generation as 'no packing instruction are there for the material although I have defined determination source in POF1 but when I save the HU with out generating it, system doesn't throw this error
The HU is getting created but I am unable to enter that HU number in VL01N while creating the delivery. How to do that?

Post Processing Steps after Support Package Stack Application

I'm curious if anyone has any guidelines for post processing steps (or pre-processing) when applying Support Package Stacks to their Development Infrastructure (Developmend Workplace and the Central NWDI Server). We have just upgraded a couple of developers local engines and developer studio to SP stack 19 from SP stack 14 and are experiencing some problems. We also applied the J2EE stack and appropriate SCA files to the NWDI server.
After the support packs it looks like our DTR files are gone (when reimporting configuration via Developer Studio the SC's are there but there are no DC's inside of them). Additionally, it looks like we have to manually reimport the newest versions of SAP_BUILDT, SAP_JTECHS, and SAP-JEE. Another thing is that old Local Web Dynpro DC's are now complaining about class path problems and different versions of files. We followed the documentation for applying SP19 exactly as the documentation says for a Java Development Usage type. Is there a checklist or something that anyone has for steps to perform after the application of the support packs?

I think I'm missing something. Now I see the code and DC's inside the DTR. However, when I try to import into NWDS no DC's come in (the software components exist, but no DC's in them). Additionally, the CBS web ui reports that my software components do not contain any DC's even though I see them in the DTR. What things can I look at to determine what I'm missing here?
Thought I'd add some more info..after applying the support packs, we imported the new SAPBUILD, SAP_JTECH, and SAP_jee SCA'S into our track as we required some functionality from the newer build SCA. We also reimported our old archives back into the system by manually checking them in assuming this would fix the problem with us not seeing the source in the NWDS or the DTR. After the import, the CBS no longer sees our custom DC's, but the DTR does (both in active and inactive ws). When importing the dev configuration into the NWDS our custom DC's no longer appear, but SAP's standard SCA's do.

IView Appraisal Document not showing customer process step names.

the iView "Appraisal Document", after pressing the pushbutton to move to the next process step, shows the text
"status changed to 'In Review'" in the info area of the iView.
we have changed the names of the standard process steps using IMG "Define Tabs and Process Configuration for Template"
for instance we renamed "In Review" to "Progress Tracking".
the issue is the iView "Appraisal Document" still shows "status changed to 'In Review'" instead of showing "status changed to 'Progress Tacking'".
note: the names of the steps in the roadmap (on top of the iView) show correctly, it is just that the state transitions "Status changed to..." the names of steps show standard instead of customer steps.
any idea why?
Thanks,
Tiberiu

Hi,
My first advice would be to talk to customer out of this.
As a client using SAP you're using standard software which has predefined 'names' for certain things. The names of appraisal - statuses is one of them.
(I've never seen a client wanting to adopt the names of menu texts in Microsoft Office and personally I don't seen the difference. Of course, it will take some time for the client to get used to the new names but in a year or two, everybody is used to those terms).
If you don't succeed, there's no need to change programs. You'll need to change the values of the standard SAP - domain mentioed before.

Own workflow process step (java) not listed in the generic Process step component

Based on the description Extending Workflow Funtionality I have used this sample to create a bundle with the CRXDE Development Environment. Almost just copying the code from the page (had to make some adjustments to correct program errors in this sample) an then build bundle. According to Note 2 this program should be seen in the list supplied by Process step Component when editing a workflow. But it is not there.
@Component
@Service
public class MyWorkflowProcess implements WorkflowProcess {
    @Property(value = "An example workflow process implementation.")
    static final String DESCRIPTION = Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION;
    @Property(value = "Adobe")
    static final String VENDOR = Constants.SERVICE_VENDOR;
    @Property(value = "My Sample Workflow Process")
    static final String LABEL="process.label";
What do I need to do else?
Thanks,
Ulrich

Ulrich,
CRXDE does not support the Java annotations which are listed in the documentations. When you want to leverage CRXDE (which is for development ... discouraged), you need to migrate to JavaDoc style annotations.
For documentation how you can setup a development workflow based on a Java IDE and maven please see [0].
kind regards,

No repeat option available for the process step in process chain

If the process chain failed at the ODS activation level, generally the repeat option will be available for activation and to continue the next step. But in some cases the repeat option will not be available for the process step.
Is there any process to get the repeat option in the process chain?

You can change this in RSPC > Settings > Maintain process types > Loading (or process of your interest) > put the check mark for Repeatable.

Process steps for customer incoming payment w.r.to Billing.

Hi all,
Can some body help me in by providing the process steps for customer incoming payment w.r.to Billing.i want to know the process from open items to cleared item , if possible pl give table names also and thier data flow using tables.
thanks

Dear Sai,
Use the transaction code F-28.Give the document date, Bank account, amount received, Value date, and the customer code. In case you know which are the document numbers against which you have received the payment, select the "Document numbers" in the "Additional selection" tab and then click on "Process open items".
Fill the document numbers in the next field, press enter and then click on "Process open items". Select the open items, simulate and then save.
In case you do not have the document numbers, then directly click "Process open items", select the line items and click "Document > Simulate" and then save.
Assign points if useful.

Venkatesh

ABC Cycle Counting Process Steps

We currently want to switch our Cycle Counting by Bin location to ABC Cycle Counting. We want the system automatically generate a list of materials to count daily based on there ABC indicator.
Our Current Process Steps are as follows:
Step 1: LX 26 - Select Items for cycle count
Step 2: LI04 Print the Count sheets
Step 3: LI11N Enter the results
Step 4: LX17 View variance
Step 5: LI14 Create recounts
Step 6: LI04 Print the recount sheets
Step 7: LI11N Enter the results
Step 8: LX17 View variance
Step 9: LI20 Accept Counts & Clear Differences WM
Step 10: ZLI21 Accept Counts & Clear Differences IM
But when we switch to ABC Cycle counting we can't do the LX26 because that is when you select the bins you want to count. We need the process steps if we use the system to generate the kick off. Any ideas?

1. It is a CO problem - I think your error message is KI235. However you may face this problem if settings are ok but you do not do things properly in IM/WM bookings. Please check these links:
Re: OKB9
Account 5248654 requires an assignment to a CO object---Message no. KI235
Please describe step-by-step (with trx codes) what you did and in which step you get the error message.
2.
WM bookings will "never" consume you components (or maybe because a bug...). If you want to consume the components you have to post GI with reference to your PrdOrd (CO11N, CO15, CO27, MIGO, MB1A).
If you did a booking with mvt 261 in MB1A by mistake, do the reverse booking by mvt 262. That's all.
If you cannot solve your issue please clarify your problem, step-by-step...

Csaba
