"Workflow Template Create" screen appears while executing the work item.

Hi,
I am learning the workflow. I have created a test workflow in which there is a user decision step and 2 mail sending steps for the outcomes of the user decision.The workflow is activated properly . When I excute the workflow the screen for "Workflow Template Create" opens everytime. When I go to the Business workpkace a mail is there in my inbox with the title as given in the user decision step. Again when i am trying to execute the work item in the inbox again the same screen for "Workflow Template create " is opening. I am totaly confused with this problem . Pls suggest what might be the reason..?

I think the Wflow Template Creation screen is not opening but your current session is getting closed so the previous session which is Wflow Create one which you have already opened is appearing. Please check your template design and act accordingly.
Thanks

Workflow template not shown in list workflow setting

I created a new list, a new site content type, and new reusable workflow. The site content type is added to the list.
Worked fine at the Dev environment.
Deployed the workflow to UAT environment as WSP file and list as a list template.
In UAT, a new site content type is created and added to the list.
The WSP was activated and feature enabled. But the workflow is not associated with the site content type, instead associating with all site content type.
Then use copy and modify to associate the workflow with the right content type. It works. Save and publish the workflow.
Go to List, Workflow settings, click on Add a Workflow, the workflow template is not shown in the workflow template drop-down. Even when the associated content type is all, the workflow should display in the workflow template drop-down in list workflow settings.
Save and publish the workflow a couple of times, ususally the issue will be resolved. But not this time..
Please help!! Thanks a lot!!

Hi Prabhakar ,
just give a try for following program .
Use program RHMOVE30 - enter object type WS, and your WF number. Use eval path TASKHIER.
Use the dropdown on the request parameter to create a transport request.
When you get the result list, make sure your task is selected for transport then use the option to include it in the Transport.
You should then be able to go to txn SE09 and see your task has been assigned to the transport.
You can then transport your task.

Not Able to see Workflow Template in 4.6c

Hello Experts,
I am working on 4.6C version. I have a strange problem, when i use the transaction SWDD, i am not able to insert the workflow template say WFXXXXX but in the pop up if i press WF Definition then i am able to see the template.If i directly press enter(Insert) in the pop up screen then it is saying Workflow Template doesn't exist.
Can any one of you please help me in this. One more doubt, is it possible to Retrieve WF Template if it is deleted by mistake in 4.6C??.
Thanks a lot in advance....

Mohan

Hi Jagan,
The workflow template is by naming convension WSxxxxxxxx. Please try using this and check if you find the template.
Also you can trace the workflow template in t-code PFTC. Select WS Workflow Template and give your workflow template ID. It would give you the details of your workflow.
Hope this helps!

Create Workflow template using WebPartPagesWebService

Hello,
I'm using SharePoint web service "WebPartPagesWebService", I used the method ValidateWorkflowMarkupAndCreateSupportObjects() to create a workflow template.
below is my method:
string DefinitionFile = @"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\WorkflowFolder\testwf.xoml";
string RulesFile = string.Empty;// @"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\WorkflowFolder\Workflow.xoml.rules";
string ConfigFile = @"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\WorkflowFolder\testwf.xoml.wfconfig.xml";
string flag = "2";
WebPartPagesWebServiceSoapClient client = new WebPartPagesWebServiceSoapClient();
client.ClientCredentials.Windows.AllowedImpersonationLevel = System.Security.Principal.TokenImpersonationLevel.Impersonation;
client.ClientCredentials.Windows.AllowNtlm = true;
string str = client.ValidateWorkflowMarkupAndCreateSupportObjects(DefinitionFile, RulesFile, ConfigFile, flag);
I get a error in the result: "Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1."
Is there any idea how ca i fix it?
Many thanks

Hi Jinming ,
If you are creating a template to allocate overhead cost to the final product , you have to use either enviornment 009 ( Process Orders ) and enviornment 0012 ( Production Orders ).
For planning , use enviornment 001 ( Cost Estimate/production Orders ).
I dont think enviornment 104 is correct . I dont see the enviornment in my list ECC 5.0
Enviorment 009 and 012 are tried and tested . Use them as per your requirement .
Please revert back for any further clarifications .

MIRO: Activate Workflow template for Price Blocking

Dear Friends,
I am in the process of configuring WF for the Price block at the time of posting of invoices.
I maintain the following setting in customizing:
Logistics Invoice Verification->Invoice Block->Activate Workflow Template->TG 20000030 Assign agents to tasks->WS 20000397 Treatment of inv. blkd for price, Log.IV->TS 20000661 At least 1 item blocked for price reas.?
Now for this task, I want to assign the PO creator. I do not want to assign Agent as a specific SAP user. It should be the generic user who creates the PO.
Business Requirement: A mail should be sent to purchaser, when the invoice is blocked for price reasons.
Please Advise.
With Kind Regards
Faisal

Friends,
I want to set a deadline monitoring for a case when the approver doesnt execute the workitem even after 2days. (so I believe I need to use "Requested Start")?
Further I understand how this is done, my question is can we do change it to the standard template or do I need to copy it and then make the changes.
Also Kindly share some information on using SRM ALERTS for the same functionality to send reminders/alets to approvers on delay of approving task.
Thank you so much.

Reg : Workflow In Revised, Saved status in Production

Hi Workflow geeks,
I have a doubt in workflow. In one of the cases, there is a workflow in production with event linkage u2013 active.
But the workflow template is in Revised, Saved status.
I have few doubts.
As the event linkage is active will the workflow trigger? I believe it should. Am I Right?
As the workflow template is not active, will the workflow proceed or would hang?
The agent determination using a custom method in workflow is failing and resulting with no data. But when tested in BO, its working fine. How can I fix this?
I havenu2019t come across such issue before. So I have no Idea at all?
Can you please help me on this?
Thanks & Regards,
Raj

Hi Geeks,
@ Rick
The workflow is active in DEV & QAS and working fine. But in production after transport, its status is Revised, Saved.
I tried testing a workflow in Dev with the same status and the workflow is triggering and working.
But in PRD, the agent determination fails.
@ RIck & Swami,
The agent is determined using a function where we pass the Org unit no. and it gives the org unit head.
This org. unit head than becomes the agent.
The org. unit no. passed to function module is hard coded in a custom method.
And the binding between method --> task --> Workflow is ok.
We are using standard tables & standard function modules for agent determination.
What could be the other reasons for failure of agent determination?
Thanks & Regards,
Raj

How to transport changes made on Workflow Template to other cleint

We have make changes to Workflow template via tcode PFTC_CHG (Change Task), with workflow builder screen, we make changes on the standard task, work item text etc, save the changes to workflow template WS90000XXX. However the changes we make is not save under a Transport Request number.
How to make the changes on workflow template to save under a transport request and transport it to other client. ?

Hi Eric,
All development and customization of workflwo are saved in a transport request.
If while making the changes it did not prompt you for a TR then check the TR in whcih the task was created.
To port TRs follow the below procedure:
1. Go to t-code SCC1.
2. Select the transport request number and enter the source system (client)
3. Click on 'Including Request Subtasks.
4. Click on button 'Start immediately'
This would port the TR.
Please note to port workbench TRs before the customizing TRs.

Workflow template PE_Approve01 not being triggered when attendee is booked

Hello
Have copied and configured the workflow template for approval of bookings. When i test the workflow from tcode swdd it is executed, but when i try and book an attendde for an event using tcode pv00 the workflow is not triggered. Is this the correct tcode that triggers the workflow or it needs ESS for it to work?

I hope you might be using the workflow template WS1200160 for approval booking for this workflow tempalte you have to activate the event linkage between the BOR event PDRELA_025 -> moveRequested if your requirement is to trigger the workflow for Pre booking the you have to use the BOR event PDRELA_027 -> Created , all you have to do is ,
1. Goto PFTC transaction, select the task type as workflow template.
2. Mention the workflow template number open in chnage mode and clcik on the tab Triggering Events and select the BOR type as BOR and BOR any one one of the above mentioned BOR's and any one of the events and activate the linkage by clicking on the buton present in the first column...

EP6.0.2 Create new workflow template with graphical editor

Hi!
In the EP6 Content (Administration -> Workflow Content -> Workflow Templates) you can find an iview to generate templates for ad-hoc (java-) workflows.
After installation the button "Create New Template" is disabled.
How can I configure the EP to create new template with graphical editor? Or should I wait till SP4 is rleased?
Regards,
Henric

Hi Henric,
We have had to develop our own way of creating templates. This area seems to be very underdeveloped at the moment.

New number for a workflow template

Hi all,
do you know if it's possible in 4.7 to change the number of a workflow template, for example from WS90000017 to WS90000007. After some technical problems I need this kind of operation but I've seen that after a copy the number is automatically created by the system using an ordered sequence.
Thanks in advance, best regards.
Angelo

Hi Anjelo,
Number of workflow template is generated automatically by the system based on Workflow customization settings.
And the very intension is to have each workflow template a unique number across the system.
By the way, what was the reason, you needed a diferent number for same template?
