Question re: workflows

I'm looking at the possibility of using Teaming to handle some workflows
internally that are based around user provisioning. Ideally we'd use the
IDM Workflow engine for this, but as we have Teaming we'd like to look
at what is on offer their first to reduce the number of workflow engines
in use.
I cant seem to find anything from the documentation at all, the only
thing that is close is the concept of 'Remote Applications' but the docs
dont seem to say much about this.
Does anyone know what the remote applications functionality in teaming
can do? Can it make web services calls, java calls etc....

Question on workflow amongst mulitiple instances

I have a question that I hope someone could help me with. I have a process that I want to create a workflow for. I would like to execute a PL/SQL code on one instance(10g) then execute some more PL/SQL code on a second instance(11g). My OWB repository and second instance is 11g and the first instance is 10g. I have OWB and workflow working on 11g. My question is do I need to install the standalone OWB on the 10g instance to get work flow to work. An how do I get part of process_flow to run on one instance then continue on a second.
Thanks

Hi Scott
You do not need to install OWB on the 10g if you just want to execute some PLSQL that resides there from a workflow instance hosted elsewhere. If you have the function imported into a module in OWB with the location defined for that schema/instance simply adding the function into an OWB process flow is all you need to do. The OWB runtime service will execute using the deployed location of the function - deployed location simply meaning the module location for the function.
Think of the process flow as an orchestrator where each activity may run where ever, simply add activities and transitions between them;

Question DPS workflow

I work as a freelancer for a company that is just starting with using DPS for their magazines. I have their Login information for uploading and publishing the folios. My questions is, where do the original files need to reside. Do I need to upload the files to the clients server and then use the folio builder in Indesign to upload the files from the clients server. Or can I keep the original files on my computer and upload them with the folio builder. Also once the files have been upload to the folio builder. Can the files be moved or will this break the links.
Not sure if this makes any sense, just trying to figure out the easiest workflow.
Thanks
Tim

When you create articles from source files, only the .folio file contents are uploaded to the server, not the original source files. The source files are tied to a specific computer. If you want to move the source files to a different computer, you can use the Relink command to point the articles to the different location.
If you know you're going to transfer files, you'll want to use good file management practices. For best results, keep your files in the article folder. Example:
<Folio folder>
     <article1 folder>
          article1_v.indd
          <Links folder>
          <Overlay Assets folder>
          toc_image.png
     <article2 folder>
          article2_v.indd
          <Links folder>
          <Overlay Assets folder>
          toc_image.png
     <article3 folder>
          article3_v.indd
          <Links folder>
          <Overlay Assets folder>

Newbie question on workflow

Hi,
I'm a complete SharePoint newbie.
We have a manual process at the moment, summarised as follows:
Manager notifies persons a,b,c and d that a new member of staff is starting, providing the new staff member's name and date of birth.
Persons a and b complete a number of tasks for the new member of staff, such as ordering a blackberry, adding them to distribution lists etc etc
Persons c and d complete a number of tasks for the new member of staff such as requesting a variety of different systems-related access and roles
Manager is notified when the main tasks are complete
I think a SharePoint workflow might be a good solution to allow automatic emailing and tracking of the completion of each of the tasks but I'm not sure how the best way is to go about doing this. E.g. do I use forms, tasks or lists or start with a library
document? Any guidance to set me on my way would be much appreciated!

Hi Nicster,
You can create simple workflow using SharePoint Designer.
a. A custom list , say "Employees", can be created with columns like "Name", "Blackberry Ordered", "Distribution List Added" can be created and a reusable workflow can be created on it. This workflow can
be set such that it is triggered when a employee item is added and modified in "Employees" list.
b. Steps can be added in workflow such that when item is added mail is sent to 'a' and 'b' to inform them about their activities.
c. When 'a' and 'b' have completed their activities, they can update the fields like "Blackberry Ordered" to true. This will trigger the same workflow (since we have set it to get triggered when item is modified) and next set of mails will be sent
to 'c' and 'd'. Similarly after their activities are completed, the manager can be informed.
Please refer the following link to create the workflow.
https://support.office.com/en-ca/article/Introduction-to-designing-and-customizing-workflows-32c9c0bf-5e20-4f74-8b9c-d3ea79f2962b
By using Reusable workflow, the workflow can be saved as WSP and can be attached to other lists in other environments.
Please let us know if this satisfies your requirement.
Thanks,

Question on workflow for high end inkjet prints from InDesign CS4

Photographs are imaged in Photoshop using Adobe 1998 as a profile. These files are linked in InDesign. My question is how should I output the files from InDesign. I've tried "High Quality Print" saving the files as a PDF then parsing those files with Photoshop as high res files. But the files lack the quality in the original photoshop files.
My system in completely calibrated and I'm quite used to creating output for both offset printing (generally as per vendors instructions) as well us highend digital printing.
Thanks ahead for your comments.

You need an ICC profile that defines the destination color space. In this case the high end ink jet.
This will be an RGB profile. You can use a factory profile corresponding to the printer model and paper (this would be part of the printer software install), or you can have a custom profile generated by reading a color target printed on the device. There are online services that can actually create the profile if you send them a print out. Follow their specific instructions if you choose to do this.
Once you have the print device ICC, check the Color Settings in ID. Make sure the RGB policy is "Preserve Embedded". As long as this was the setting at document creation, the image Adobe RGB profiles were honored.
To double check, look in the Links panel. Under ICC you should see Adobe RGB, not Document RGB.
You can also right or control click on an individual image. Go to Graphics: Image Color Settings. By profile it should say Adobe RGB, not Document RGB.
In the print dialog, Color Management, select Document radio button. Color Handling, Let InDesign Handle Colors. Printer Profile, select the Printer ICC. Do a small test print, then check the result to see if it's satisfactory.

Question on workflow agent assignement

Hi Gurus,
I am triggering a workflow from a fm 'sww_wi_start_simple' . In this I am sending group of agents in agents container. In the workflow swdd. How I have to declare agents table in workflow conatiner. please guide me. it is throughing the incorrect format.
Ravi

Rose
I created a multline conatiner for agent in the workflow container.
In the fm sww_wi_start_simple, I am passing the internal table from agent.
But while debugging I found in the fm agent table, the value which i sent is present.
But after triggering workflow it is going to another id, which i assigned while testing.
How to verify which value is coming to agent in the workflow.

Question about Workflow between Premiere and After Effects

Hey guys, I have Production Premium CS5 (Premiere and AE)
One thing that has always confused me was basic workflow between these 2 products. Is it best to get your clips, but them into sequence, do the basic effects that Premiere supports and output into the highest quality video in order to take into AE and apply effects to?
Or should I take video footage, do my After Effects work, export that as a clip that will then be used in the video composition in Premiere? I know I don't want to move a project too many times between because of compression, so what would the most optimized workflow be?
FYI, I am doing a lot of video game frag movies, so I have a lot of effects I like to put into it.

Really?
I'm always amazed at Photoshop's cold boot startup time. On my rig it takes 8 seconds. From a warm boot, Photoshop will start in 2-4 seconds.
This isn't the case with my video editing software though...
Sony Vegas 8.1 (looking to learn Premiere so I don't need this anymore - Cold Boot : 8 seconds, Warm Boot : 3 seconds)
After Effects (Cold Boot : 22 seconds, Warm Boot : 8 seconds)
Premiere (Cold Boot : 48 seconds, Warm Boot : 16 seconds)
Premiere seems to be a beast of a program; I'm rather surprised, I thought AE would be the more intense one. Sorry, I haven't yet overcome my fears of losing projects/data because I'm running on a Windows machine.
It's half the reason why I have a Mozy account to backup my files to an online resource.

Question .R3D workflow

So this is my first time working with RED in Premier Pro. Can anyone suggest a workflow? I'm using raw .R3D footage straight from the camera (MYSTERIUM-X). Incase you're wondering, I'm not working with a RED rocket.

Information like what hardware are you working on and what do you plan to do with the footage, do you work alone until finishing or will you send your files for mixing and grading?

Workflow question - fastest workflow from AVI files to DVD?

I have recently purchased my first Mac (it is fantastic!). I am currently experimenting with both '08 and '06 iMovie.
Right now my main priority is creating individual DVD's of each of my tapes that I have previously captured via WinDV on an XP system. Those tapes are stored, each clip separately, via AVI files on external hard disks.
Now I would like to, as quickly as possible, use either version of iMovie to burn a DVD that simply includes all the clips from a given tape capture. The plan is that these will be simply playable versions (a playable backup, if you will) of all the clips on each tape - I'll come back later and do edits to create "finished" DVD's.
Any suggestions as to the most efficient and quickest way to create the DVD's? (I've downloaded Streamclip also, but am not sure whether that will help me out at this point or not)
Thanks in advance.

Any suggestions as to the most efficient and quickest way to create the DVD's?
The most efficient work flow in terms of application use would likely be iMovie HD here. Assuming your AVI files are "playback" and "conversion" compatible with QT, then they will be automatically converted during file level import for use in whatever project compression format you create for editing. In addition, this work flow offers more in the way of "effects" if desired and allows you to chapter files for iDVD use internally rather than having to go through GarageBand. On the other hand, if you are working with very short source files requiring little or no editing and a minimum of titles, transitions and/or chaptering, then iMovie '08 may be faster in terms of actual editing speed. Both applications have their own strengths and weaknesses and you should probably try a test project with both so that in the future you can select the proper one according to the needs of any given project.

Question regarding Workflow Rule

Can I set a WF trigger when an attachement or URL is added or updated on record? R17 perhaps?
Thanks
PD

I dont know of a way in R16. Once R17 is available there could be something to allow this.
Not sure what you are looking for specifically but you can perform an export of attachment once a week and use the exported data to know what attachments were added for the week. Exports allow you to select the object. In this case attachments and the date range. The last week for example. The CSV file of the export would allow you to do some matching up with the record the attachment was added to etc.

After Effects - Premiere Pro workflow question...

Hi,
I have a basic question about workflow between AE and PP.
I'm editing an acting reel for a client which deals with a lot of different footage and bits and pieces here and there.
We already converted all the footage to DV-AVI - tweaking, color correction and effects are done in AE.
Here's the question that I'm thinking about:
Should I work on all my footage in AE first and then import it into PP for editing OR should I edit everything the way I wanna have it and then import it into AE for the tweaking.
Advantages for both options that come to my (newbie) mind:
AE first then PP
1. Final editing is done in PP which gives me flexibility if I wanna change things later editing wise
2. PP exporting options are huge - don't know if AE can compare to that
3. could import to PP via Dynamic link which saves me the hassle of exporting each little clip from AE to a lossless format - as mentioned we have lot's of different footage and little bits and pieces here and there
PP first the AE
1. if u apply a lot of effects, Dynamic link is a pain to scrub through the footage in PP because it takes so much time to render through the link - with exporting a final edited version from PP and then importing into AE would make things go a little bit smoother
2. I would have more flexiblity if I wanna change any effects in AE
What would u suggest ?
Thanx for your help in advance !!
Mike

Mylenium,
thanx again for your input.
Reading your posts - and PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong - it seems like the workflow would be:
1. PP for rough cut, then
2. AE for tweaking
3. back to PP for the final cut, export etc., since AE does not have the editing tools needed (transitions etc.)
But, as I did some testing the last two hours it is almost impossible getting PP projects into AE.
I read the manual and tried the following:
a. importing a PP project file into AE via the Import --> File dialog.
I specified only one PP sequence to be imported - it did import all of the footage of the PP project (including the footage that is not needed) and it imported 3 (not one) sequences, including the one I specified.
Besides that, the sequence is unusable - the in & out points of the footage are totally wrong - the transition I applied (dip-to-black) was unavailable.
I re-tried it without transitions but the in & out points of the footage are absolutely wrong.
The sequence deals with two different clips - both used 3 times in the sequence - and the first clip is okay in AE, but the second clip always (at all three points) starts from the start of the original footage.
b. I tried to copy & paste footage from the PP timeline to the AE timeline - which did not work.
As described in the manual, I did save that AE project and I did select the timeline in AE. I tried it through Edit --> Paste (which was unavailable), as well as through Ctrl+V. Did not work.
It seems to me like Dynamic Link is a One-Way-Street, it does work from AE to PP but not the other way around, at least not usable.
I had a thread about this a couple of weeks ago and other users experienced the same results.
I'm thinking about doing the rough cut in AE, the limited editing tools from AE should be okay...

Camera tracking / workflow question with 3DS Max....

Hi guys,
I have a general question about workflow using After Effects and 3DS Max....
Scenerio:
I have a virtual news set in 3DS Max to composite in the greenscreen footage. The footage has everything needed for tracking - markers and so on. After tracking the footage, I want to use the tracking from the footage, plus incorporate some camera moves from 3DS Max when the talent is 'behind the news desk'. Kinda like doing an 'orbital dolly' move to pan across the set. In After Effects, how would I merge the existing camera tracking from the original footage and then merge the panning camera moves from 3DS Max?
Thanks.
Jason

You will need a 3D track/ matchmove. Once you have, you should not ahve any problems importing teh result in both programs. SynthEyes etc. support a ton of export formats. For everything else a simple 3D export from MAX using relevant scripts/ plug-ins should suffice or you simply could use your keyed footage as a texture in MAX.

GRC AC 5.3 Detour not working as expected in workflow

Hi GRC Experts!
I would greatly appreciate your help with the problem we're currently facing; we have configured 2 CUP workflows; one for handling requests with SoD violations (Workflow B) and one to handle ones without any SoD violations (Workflow C), with the former handling risk analysis followed by role approval, and the latter handling only role approval; we have one path with one stage configured as "No Stage" (Workflow A); this path is used to decide which of the primary workflows to use (i.e. SoD violations or no SoD violations) using two detours; we have one detour configured to use Workflow B if any SoD violations are found in the request and another detour configured to use Workflow C if no SoD violations are found.
Currently what happens in our tests is that requests without risks / SoD violations work fine and actually get detoured to Workflow C, awaiting role approval from the right approver ; while requests with inherent risks / SoD violations unforutnately get automatically approved and provisioned rather than being sent to Workflow B
Any clues as to why this could be happening? We've checked if there are any settings that might be triggering it to automatically approve requests despite any risks, but can't find anything of the sort; Would be very grateful for any insight / advice on the issue.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards,
Sandeep

Hi Diego!
Once again; thank you for your quick reply!
I did recheck the auto-provisioning issue and I can confirm that it is definitely set to "No Auto-provisioning" and it hasn't been changed recently. The strange thing is that the detour works for NO SoD violations, but doesn't work for SoD violations; find below the audit trail for detour working:

I even checked the CUA System section, and the "By system" tab and it was empty; there were no specific system configurations.
And to answer your questions:
Since Workflow A is the path with the Initiator, the detour flag is deactivated and the active flag is activated.
WF B & C have both the active and detour flags activated.
Thanks a lot again for your quick responses and all the help you've provided so far!
