REG : Workitem Text for Global Workflow Administrator

Hi SRM Gurus,
I have a requirement wherein if the approver id is invalid the work item should go to the GLOBAL WORKFLOW ADMINISTRATOR.
I am achieving this in the RESP RESOVLER BADI, by checking the user is valid or not using the function module ' BBPU_CHECK_USER', in the in the method using the function module 'SWD_WF_DEFINITION_ADMIN_GET' and passing the same to the internal table ' rt_approver'.
Everything is working fine and I am able to get the GLOBAL ADMINISTRATOR, but the requirement is when the WORKITEM is sent to the ADMIN, a custom Work item text should be sent to the WF Admin as 'Work item text is ‘Shopping Cart number xxxx Technical Completion Approver determination failed.'.
Where should I give this text, I mean do I need to create an event along with an expression, and a new process level for the same.
If yes, where should I code for the approver check, as this should trigger only when the user is invalid.
Please help.

Aakash Awasthi.

Change in Work item Text for Approval Workflow WS14000133

Hi,
I need to change the work item text for Shopping Cart Approval Workflow WS14000133.
I have created an Attribute in Business Object BUS2121 and called the same attribute in work item text.
In PFTC -> Redefine Work item text - > and i have defined the work item text as well called the attribute from the container.
what the problem over here is - when I am passing the attribute in the work item text in the task, I am unable to see the work item text with the Dynamic Attribute but I am able to see the work item alone (not with the Dynamic attribut)
But when i debug the workflow from SWI1 then i can see the dynamic attribute in the Container of the workflow but nt in the approver's inbox in portal..
Can you please tell me - that why is this a strange behaviour that i can see the Dynamic attributed created initially in the workflow container of the Business Object but nt in the Approvers inbox either in Backend nor in the front end...
Thanks,

Restrict Workflow Administrator responsibility for a business group

My requirement is to restrict the Workflow Administrator responsibility to a specific business group so that the administrator can view all notifications/transactions for a given business group only for ALL item types. I tried following the steps given in the document 'Oracle Self-Service Human Resources (SSHR) Release Notes, Release 12.1.1' metalink id 578360.1. However, it doesnt seem to be working. Any idea on how to do this configuration?
Thanks,
Pallavi

Hi,
EBS version: 12.1.3, Database 11g
Below are the steps to reproduce the issue:

View Employees: Restricted
View Contingent Workers: Restricted
View Applicants: restricted
View Contacts: Restricted
View Candidates: All
Organization Security Tab--> Security Type: View All Organizations(No Security)
2) Set the HR: Security Profile option at the responsibility level for the Workflow Administrator Web(New) responsibility.
3) Log on to the Functional Developer responsibility and search for the predefined Workflow Item Attribute Values (WF_ITEM_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES) object.
4) Click the Update icon to navigate to the Update Object page.
5) Click Create Grant on the Grants tab.
On the Define Grant page, enter the following details:
In the Name field, enter a descriptive name for the grant.
Specify the effective date for the grant as '01-Sep-2011'.
In the Grantee Type field, select 'Group of users' and select teh responsibility 'Workflow Administrator Web(New)' in the Grantee field.
6)In the Object field, select the delivered object Workflow Item Attribute Values
7)On the Grant: Select Object Data Context page, select the HR Self-Service Selected Person ID Instance Set (HRSS_WF_ATTR_PERSONID_INSTSET)
8) On the Grant: Define Object Parameters and Select Set page:
In the Set field, enter the delivered Business workflow item attribute permission set (WF_ADMIN_ITEM_ATTR_PSET).
Click Finish to complete the grant creation process.
9) Logout and login as a user having Workflow Administrator Web(New) responsibility. Navigate to Administer--> Status Monitor. Search for all the workflows started this week. All the transactions from all the business groups will be listed. ideally, only the transactions occuring in UK business groups should have been listed.

Workflow Administrator issue

Hi,
ebs 11.5.8
We successfully cloned from prod to dev. DEV been up for ~1 month.
We now have an issue with the Workflow.
I log in as sysadmin -> system administrator responsibility then workflow -> Global Preferences
In the html page that opens it says "Only the Workflow Administrators can edit Default settings."
I tried with Workflow Administrator -> Global Preferences but same results.
I check for profile (System Administrator -> Profile -> System : %workflow%) but found nothing that would indicate who is the admin of the workflow.
I think this is due to autoconfig, setting the default value for the workflow administrator.
How can I find who is the owner and change it?
Thank you~

Workitem Lock problem in workflow for leave request

Hi Experts,
I am facing the strange problem in the workflow of the leave request.
We have implemented the two level approval for workflow. For the first level approval we have created custom WebDynpro application where approver approves the request and selects 2nd approver for the workflow. Here we are calling method initiate_state_transition of class/interface if_pt_req_request to change the status of workflow from sent to approved in custom WebDynpro application .
For the second level approval we are using standard approval application.
When 1st approver approves the request, workflow moves to next task, but this task gives error "Work item 000000605682 locked by user SD21690 (enqueue error)".
I am not getting why this is happening?
Could you please help me.
Thanks
Sameer

Hi
As you have developed a custom application for first level approver where the status of record is being changed from sent to approved.
please check what is the workitem number that is initiated. If its 605682 and the first approver is SD21690 then please make sure you release that workitem in your webdynpro application.
You must have customized the workflow to add the first approver step. Where you would be mentioning the name of the custom application in SWFVISU against your custom task.
The problem is with the workflow so please check the workflow. Your first approer is not releasing the workitem post approval and that is the reason for lock.
Vivek - this lock is not enque lock its a workitem lock.
Please revert with further questions if required.
thank you

Workflow Administrator Tcode

Hello Experts,
Can any of you help me with a workflow administrator tcode that has the ability to find all the workitem using the user ID.
Im aware of the tcodes that can be used to find the workflow status with the task - dates etc... but im not able to find any which can be used to search workflow status with the user id.
Regards,
Regi.

Hey Dilek,
Thanks for the quick reply buddy, This will not help me because this gives me the list of workitem i can see as an approver , what i need is workflow log as a requester.
If i use this and select the user id - this will show me the list of all the worklist for that user id as an approver and not as a requester, what i need is to trak the log as a requester using the logon id.
Thanks,
Regi

Workitem Text need to display in Webdynpro Application

Hi,
Requirement : Workitem ID need to capture in WebDynpro application along with workitem text. (i.e.., When user clicks on worktitem from UWL, the workitem text should display in Webdynpro applocation.)
I have created workflow and Web dynpro application. I have configured in SWFVISU tcode and assigned parameter in webdynpro application parameters tab. Here, If i click's on workitem, it's opening sap web screen. But i want to open webdynpro application screen.
Kindly suggest to do this..
Advance Thanks & Regards,
Jayaprakash N

Hi Jayaprakash,
If you are not seeing the button "Launch WebDynpro" when you click on your Workitem then your UWL is not configured. There are a couple of steps for that which are provided quite clearly in the link below .
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20f4843e-314f-2a10-2a88-8c4afa20dda6?overridelayout=true
Broadly the steps are:
Re-register your system alias in UWL configuration. The path for this is System Administration / System Configuration /Universal Worklist Administration
After re-registering, the portal will add one XML file for your system. Download the XML file, edit and add Webdynpro option specifying the Workflow Task ID and your custom webdynpro application name
Upload the edited XML file with priority high and clear the cache
In your WDA application define a plug name 'Start' and define the parameter WI_ID type SWW_WIID
In your WDA window define a eventhandler HANDLESTART and inside write the code for reading the workitem id. Create a parameter WI_ID type SWW_WIID also for this eventhandler
Let me know if you are stuck at any point.

Arpan

Solutions for User Decision step- Upon reject, auto-popup text for reason

Execute user Decision workitem, when user click reject button, open text for rejection reason within the workitem.
Ideally, for the auto-pop text , we need a descriptive header and user can enter reject reason. Text must be added before the workitem can be saved.
Any thoughts.
Thanks a lot.

yes, on the SOFM.Create-Task use a dataflow from the WIOBJECT_ID => (append table) ADHOCOBJECTS
This will popuplate this rejection to the hyperlink-section of the workflow.
You may also activate the outcome-even "user-cancelled" in the workflow definition (or by copying the coding to your own method that could do it) and loop around back to the user decision if he cancels the document create (which I found out is sometimes a problem for the users).
I also have made the experience that it is quite the same effort and more convenient if you design a complete user-driven screen. Then you have full control of that issue. I always use a small dialog box with a textEdit-Control where the users have to enter their rejection reason.
I then create my own ZWFNOTE-Object and append this to the ADHOCOBJECT. This usually works very fine.
with kind regards,
Florin

Task name appears instead of workitem text

Hi,
I have a dialog task. Whn I test the WF frm my system, I am getting the workitem text specified for the task in PFTC and its working fine. but when i test the same workflow in another system with the same user id & pwd, i am not getting the workitem text. Instead the task name is displayed in the inbox.
Any settings needs to be checked? Plz let me know.
Thanks,

Hi, thr was no translated text maintained for the workitem text .the prob is solved.

Can we display a URL in workitem text??

Hi Gurus,
Can we display a URL in workitem text??
I am giving http://www.yahoo.com but it comes as a normal text.
I have give a URL along with Workitem text, So once the approver will check the mail notification in workflow inbox, by clicking on the URL given he can see the other details of that order. Those information can help him out in taking decision.
Thanks & Regards,
Manoj Tiwari

Hi Jocelyn,
Here users will use the business workplace to see the new workitems, and thats why we want to see the URL there itself.
I have checked SCOT and i can see following node.
FAX Telefax
INT Internet
SMTP
X40 X.400
RML Remote Ma
PAG
PRT
I could not find RAW Node.Please correct me if i am wrong.
I have gone through the documentation of report <b>RSWUWFML2</b> and it says "The report sends notifications for work items by e-mail to SAP users who have an Internet e-mail address. This enables users who do not normally use the Business Workplace to be informed about new work items." But we dont want to send the workitem to email address, we want to send it to Business workplace inbox.
I think i was not able to explain you the correct requirement, i am explaining you once again, we will not use any internet email address to notify about the new work item, we will only use business workplace of sap to check or to see new workitem received, and we want url with hyperlink there only.
Grtz.
Thanks & Regards,
Manoj Tiwari

Issues regarding workitem text

HI All,
I see the Workitem text mismatches when compared to Workitem lying in SBWP and the email send to ms outlook and also surprisingly when compared to SBWP and SOST I see the same mismatch.Can some one help me in finding the issue and also the first line of the email is the subject or title and from second line my custom workitem text follows I want to start the custom workitemtext from third line.I want a line gap in between the subject and the custom workitem text.
Issue ) For example I am a calling text element ZXXXX created in so10 in workitem text .
ZXXXX = This Workflow was started by &INITIATOR& on &ACT_DATE& at &ACT_TIME&.
Note: &INITIATOR& , &ACT_DATE& and &ACT_TIME& are the variables created in the custom Decission task.
Below is the code I have written in workitem text choosing command line option.
INCLUDE 'ZXXXX' OBJECT 'TEXT' ID 'ST' LANGUAGE 'EN' .
Output : 'This workflow was started by on at.
Please let me know the solution to fix this.
Thanks and Regards,
Srini..

Hi,
ZXXXX = This Workflow was started by &INITIATOR& on &ACT_DATE& at &ACT_TIME&.
&INITIATOR&, &ACT_DATE& and &ACT_TIME& are the variable is known in standard text element i.e. in tcode SO10. This variable may not known to workflow. Hence I would request you to follow the specific.
Declare the text element ZXXXX only upto value 'This Workflow was started by'.
ZXXXX = 'This Workflow was started by'
and use this workitem text as
Workitem text = ZXXXX by &_WI_INITATOR& on &ACT_DATE& at &ACT_TIME&.
&_WI_INITATOR&, &ACT_DATE& and &ACT_TIME& are the variables of workflow container i.e. workflow container element.
Thanks
Sanjay

Facing some langauge issue in Workitem Text transalation

HI Experts,
I am facing some problem in a Custom workflow created by me. The scenario is like that, I have to show the Doc_nam in the WORKITEM TEXT dynamically, which I have picked from the container element and this Doc_name in linked withe Business Object APPR_DOC.
Now the workitem is sent to the approver. If the approver is logged in EN ( English) lang, then I found the workitem text along with Doc_name is displayed dynamically as per the requirement. But if the approver is logged on in IT(Italian) then, I found that the workitem text is sent as it is, i.e. ' Approve &_WI_OBJECT_ID.DOCUMENTNAME& '. This is happening in the same client for different log on's with different Langs.
I have tried all the possible way like Maintaining translation in SE63, Maintaining the Personal settings and many more. but could not find the way to solve the issue.
Can anybody guide me the right way to solve the issue?
Thanks & Regards,
Sriyash

First of all, make sure that the attribute is translated. Log in to the system for example in italian and open SWO1 and object APPR_DOC. Instantiate one object, and see whether the DOCUMENTNAME attribute gets translated.
You might also want to check if these document names are event translated. They are most probably translated somewhere in SPRO. Maybe you need to log in to the system with other languages and maintain the object names in that way to get them translated. Anyhow, I am not sure about this part - your functional consultant might know this better.

Karri
