Publishing a Workflow - Does that impact already running workflows

I created a workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010. It gets fired when on a change event in a Document Library.
If I modify and publish the same workflow. Will that impact the existing workflow that is running?
Thanks
Mayank

Based on my testing, the running instances will still work after you publish a new version of the workflow. When you start a new workflow in the list, the newer version workflow will run".

Getting the object of a class that is already running

there is one class a
i created an object of class a
a a1 = new a();
i am in class B
i want to get the 'a' class instance that is already running ie i want to access object a1 and these classes are not related. Can i get them?
If yes how?
It is urgent.

1. class B could encapsulate class A.
Class B
 A a1;
 public B(A a1)
 this.a1 = a1;
 //......remaining part of class
}Now when you create an object of B, you could pass the a's object to B's constructor,
 A a1 = new A();
 B b1 = new B(a1);
// to access the a object within b, usage is as below
 b1.a1.<a's methods>2. If you wish that the object of class A is required only in some methods of B, pass it as a parameter to B's methods
class B
 public void someMethodThatNeedsA'sObject(A a1)
 //do something with a's object here
 //do something with B's own variables
 psvm() //main
 A a1 = new A();
 B b1 = new B();
 b1.someMethodThatNeedsA'sObject(a1);
}ram.

HT1338 When I click on Firefox a message comes up that is already running. But it is not working.

Having trouble with Getting on Firefox when I click on it a message comes up that "Firefox is already running" or nothing happens at all.

HI,
It is possible to close the main window of some apps and not have it Quit.
This will mean it should show the lightened area under the app in the DOCK.
Clicking the icon in the Dock should at least bring the app name to the Menu Bar.
The Window Menu of most will tell you the Keystrokes to bring a window to the "Front" or make it visible again.
I have come across this when one version gets installed without removing a previous version.
Sometimes caused by putting all browsers in a sub folder and not loose in Applications.
In most cases with one install using the DOCK, CMD + Tab, the Application Folder > App Icon double click brings the App to the "Front".
Please note that "Categorising" the Tread with all the options does not always get the people with the right knowledge to your Thread.
I know about the Messages App.
I know the broader strokes of how the OS works (Not so good at explaining it)

Firefox will not open and states that its already running. But is not?

After several opening and closing of Firefox several time it will not open when I click on the desk top icon. A screen will come up that Firefox is already running and that I will have to close it before I can start Firefox. To correct this I have to restart the computer. It will then work ok for a few time but will then not start again.

Extending wait times in Workflow (items that have already started)

We have Order Mgt order line workflow that has multiple wait and loop activities. A number of these timeout in 2 minutes. We think that this is causing the WF BG process to run extremely long times because a processed item key times out before the process ends, causing the item to process through multiple times.
We have an initiative open to increase the wait times for the wait nodes. However, we need to figure out a way to extend the waits for the order lines that are IN PROCESS. We tried updating the due date field on the wf_item_activity_statuses and also updated the number_value in wf_activity_attr_values. But that did not do the trick. We then found another table WF_ITEM_ACTIVITY_STATUSES_H which also holds the due date.
I would like to find out if someone has ideas on what tables to update in order to get all the existing wait times extended from the current value to a different value.
Thanks in advance.

You need to update WF_ACTIVITY_ATTR_VALUES for the specific process activity id that is in wf_item_activity_statuses.
But why do want to do that. Let them complete with the old default_days and the new ones can use the new value. Are there too many item keys (order lines) that are open and require processing using WBG?
Thanks

Checking Forms that are already running.

Dear all,
In our Forms 6i client-server environment, we used the function Win_Api_Session.FindAppWindow(...) to check if a form is up and running or not. If this function returns nothing then we launch the form else don't launch it. Is there an equivalent functionality for this in Forms 10g?
I have checked web_util functionality and found nothing like it. Did a search on this forum and metalink with same results.
Any help will be aprreciated.

We used DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO for that. The problem is that Oracle user has to have access to v$session (e.g. SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE), but we have two advantages :
1. We don't need a specific table for that
2. We don't have to worry for cleaning up information, since they are removed automatically when the session finishes.

On certain sites, I don't get the option to "view" only to "save". Also, Firefox says that I have to close Firefox that is already running when this is not true. I then have to restart my computer

When I've closed Firefox and want to re-open it in the same session, I get a message that I have to close an open Firefox window before being able to use Firefox again. There is nothing to close.

Use VI already running using ActiveX

  Is there a way to make it fail if it doesn't find a VI-a already running? Any ideas on why it's opening a new VI instead of reusing the one in memory. Is there a setting somewhere that would explain why this happens on the test machine and not my development machine.
  I'm currently trying to control a VI from c++ using the ActiveX server on the VI in LabVIEW 9, I'm building the application using MS VC++ express 2010. This VI(lets call it VI-a is invoke node to get and set data on another VI-b. For testing I have a copy of VI-b that is gutted so it loads into memory but doesn't run, it connects to hardware I don't have in my development setup.
#import "PATH\LaVIEW.tlb"
static LabVIEW::_ApplicationPtr pLVApp = (LabVIEW::_ApplicationPtr) NULL;
static LabVIEW::VirtualInstrumentPtr pVI = (LabVIEW::VirtualInstrumentPtr) NULL;
void init_VI()
   //Multithreaded application
   CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);
   pLVApp.CreateInstance("LabVIEW.Application");
   //Error checking not shown
   return;
void connect_to_fp()
   HRESULT hr = S_OK;
   char password[60] = "";
   VARIANT_BOOL reserveForCall = VARIANT_FALSE;
   long options = 0x20;
   //Multithreaded application
   CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);
   pVI.CreateInstance("LabVIEW.VirtualInstrument");
   pVI = pLVApp->GetVIReference(vi_path, LPCTSTR(password), reserveForCall, options);
   //Error checking not shown
   hr = pVI->OpenFrontPanel(VARIANT_TRUE, LabVIEW::eVisible)
   return;
I wasn't able to try commenting out the CreateInstance call on the test machine. However removing it has had no effect on my development machine.
Details of my setup:
  On my development machine I can run VI-a before starting the c++ application and it will connect and use the VI-a that is already running in memory or I can let the c++ application bring up VI-a. When I was running a test recently when I would get the reference to VI-a it would open a new FP for VI-a (I'm assuming it started a new instance of VI-a) instead of using the one that was currently loaded and running, the VI-a also isn't running like it normally does. The VI-a gets it's values from VI-b once at init but it never updates them again. Also there is a switch on VI-a that controls a status indicator that doesn't update when the switch when it is toggled. There is another indicator on a separate tab that shows how long a loop took to execute that is changing, which is why I believe it is at least partially running.
My biggest issue is that I haven't been able to recreate this on my development machine. Anytime I have VI-a open and running my c++ application reuses that one instead of trying to open a new one. My connection code is pretty much strait out of the c++/ActiveX example from NI.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I haven't found an answer to erroring out instead of creating a new instance but I did find a way to deal with the project issue. If you create an instance, then open the project, then open the VI from the projects instance it will work. New init_VI:
void init_VI()
   //Multithreaded application
   CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);
   pLVMainApp.CreateInstance("LabVIEW.Application");
   pLVPrj = pLVMainApp->OpenProject(PATH_TO_PROJECT);
   pLVApp = pLVPrj->GetApplication();
   //Error checking not shown
   return;

Is this possible?! Does it exist already?!

So, like many of you, I wirelessly play my iTunes music through my stereo using Airport Express. My computer is in another room and I want to be able to SEE the album art-- kind of like a "now playing" kinda thing.
My idea was to somehow find one of those digital picture frames that are out there and figure out if there's a way to send the currently playing album art to that picture frame. Does that exist already? Do I have to create this technology? It seems like such an obvious idea!!
Does any one have any ideas?
Moviekid

It doesn't and I am not sure the audience is as big as you say. Those frames are really overpriced to use with the current media, cannot imagine what they'd charge to add wi-fi .

Changing Permissions on library with running workflows

We have a document library running workflows. The library is NOT inheriting permissions from the parent site and all documents have broken (independent and different) set of permissions.
My question is: If we change the permissions of a current sharepoint group in the library from Contribute to Read, would that affect any running workflows in the library? Reason to do so is because we want to prevent some groups from adding new documents.
Would this procedure break in any way running workflows?
Thanks,
Carlos

Hi Carlos,
As I understand, you would like to know whether it affects running workflows if we change the permission of the library.
Per my experience, it depends on the content of workflow. The link below describe the permissions in each level:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc721640(v=office.15).aspx And we could tell from it that with Read permission, users are lack of following actions comparing with
Contribute permission:
Add Items
Edit Items
Delete Items
Delete Versions
Browse Directories
Edit Personal User Information
Manage Personal Views
Add/Remove Personal Web Parts
Update Personal Web Parts
Please check the running workflows and see if there is any action or condition would use the permission in the list.

Bounce CM without affecting already running CR

Hello,
Can someone advise me on below queries, please?
Is it possible to bounce concurrent managers / all the middle tier services without affecting the concurrent requests that
are already running?If yes, how?
I know that the CM process that is serving the CR at the time of shutdown will continue to run until the CR completes.
But, is it also possible to stop such CM process as well even before the CR completes??I've read somewhere that the CRs get resubmitted. Can someone explain this?
Thanks,
Rushi

Hi,
Following is an extract from doc: Oracle E-Business Suite System Administrator's Guide - Configuration
The following table describes control functions for any other manager.
Control Function
Description
Activate concurrent manager
If the manager is defined to work in the current work shift, it starts immediately. Cancels "Deactivate concurrent manager" and "Terminate requests and deactivate manager".
Restart concurrent manager
Internal manager rereads the manager's definition, and the rules for concurrent program incompatibilities. You should restart a manager when you: - Change work shift assignments - Modify the number of target processes - Modify specialization rules - Change concurrent program incompatibilities
Deactivate concurrent manager
Deactivates the manager. All requests (concurrent programs) currently running are allowed to complete before the manager shuts down. A manager will not restart until you select the manager and choose "Activate concurrent manager".
Terminate requests and deactivate manager
All running requests (running concurrent programs) handled by the manager are terminated.Once deactivated, a manager will not restart until you select the manager and choose "Activate concurrent manager".
Thanks &
Best Regards,

Uninstalling itunes and then reinstalling but keeps on saying itunes is already running on my computer

Can you help i am trying to use my existing itunes thats attached to my iphone ,ipad,laptop computer 1, and now need to attache to laptop computer2 which is windows7 but computer 2 had a different itunes on it i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it keeps on saying after install that itunes already running on computer
2 and my music is not there, any advise would be much appreciated.?

Actually, I'd use the following user tip rather than the Apple document as a guide. (At the time I'm writing this reply, the user tip is much better organised, more accurate and way more up to date that the Apple document.)
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
In the normal course of events, and uninstall/reinstall doesn't affect your number of authorisations on a computer. Usually, it requires a serious hardware change (like a new hard drive or motherboard), or a BIOS update, or an upgrade to a different Windows operating system to confuse your iTunes and make it think that it is now installed on a different computer before you end up using extra authorisations for the same operating system for the same computer. (So if you ever have to do things like major hardware changes, or BIOS updates on the computer, deauthorise the PC first, and then reauthorise after the change has been carried out.)

If an internal ID is changed for the Work Repository how does it affect objects that are already in it? Will they continue to run or do you need to cycle the ODI agent?

I was having trouble migrating the Master and Work repositories from my QA to my Prod environment. I was getting an error message that the internal id's were alike so I changed the internal id in my Prod Master repository. Then I tried to migrate the Work repository and was getting a similar error. I did a search on the internet for the error message and it recommended that I renumber the Work repository so I did. My concern now is how these changes affect the objects that are already in the repositories? Will those objects continue to run? Also do these changes take affect immediately or do you need to cycle the ODI agent?

Well I cannot completely assure you but so far I have not faced any issues after a renumber. It will affect the exist object only when you have imported the object in synonym_update mode. I believe you have the daily backup of your production repository.

Why does firefox now tell me that it is unable to load the browser because firefox is already running?

After the last 2 updates I have had trouble with the browser. It periodically tells me that I am unable to run firefox because the process is already running. I then need to go to the task manager, stop the firefox process before I can launch the browser

See "Hang at exit":
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
* [[Firefox hangs]]

When I attempt to open firefox an error message appears telling me that firefox is already running, but I can't find it running. How do I do so or in any case close the already running Firefox process?

When I attempt to open Firefox instead of Firefox opening, an error message appears saying "Firefox is already running but isn't responding. To open another window please close the existing Firefox process or restart the system.", but I can't find that process of Firefox in order to kill it, and after restarting the system there is still the problem. I have found an emergency fix to at least get online, and that is to use"Firefox_Profile_Manager" in the start menu's "run" start menu, but the
Firefox that then opens is that one doesn't carry over what I had in my bookmarks but starts bookmarks anew.

Sounds like it is hanging when you exit and later try to restart Firefox.
