Regarding Parallel Dynamic Block

Hi,
I tried to use PDB (Parallel dynamic block). But it is behaving differently that, I assigned action to 3 users and then the task is appearing in all of the 3 users uwl.But while any of the one user started working on that then remaining users uwl task got disappeared or seems locked or terminated. I did not understand why it is happening like this. can you please help me to solve this issue.
My process structure is mentioning below:
Process
Init Block (Sequential block)
Input action
Block (PDB)
output block (parallel block)
output action
Is there any alternative way to do this if PDB will not solve this issue?
Is it possible to create actions dynamically in a block. suppose this block is creates statically as a parallel block.?
Mahesh please help me if you have any idea or information about this.
thanks in advance,
Sajith

Hi Dipankar,
Thanks for ur response.But that form is not going parallel to same users.and i have other problem.If that form go to multiple users.
That form has to states Approved and rejected.Though any one of them rejected that process must be continuously.not to be terminated.
If u have any idea /if u worked on same Scenario pl z send document.
Thanks,
Santhosh

Issue regarding Parallel dynamic block

Dear All,
I need some help regarding Parallel dynamic process issue.
My Process structure as follows.
Process
->Sequential Block
--->Action1
--->Parallel Dynamic Block
>Sequential Sub Block
>Action2
I am able to trigger the tasks to multiple users.
Action2 has to perform by multiple users.
Action2 contains Webdynpro Callable Object.
Webdynpro CO view contains two buttons namely "Approve" and "Send Back".
My requirement is
1)If All users selects approve then Action2 has to complete and control moves to Action1
2)If anyone selects Send Back then Action2 will be completed and control moves to Action1.This process will be continues still all the users Approve.
I am struggling for this requirement so please help me.

Hi Rajesh,
Question 1:
I am trying to call the Action1 in the Sequential Sub Block from Action 2.At that time i am gettin the following error.
Transition between blocks cannot be defined because there is a parallel block in the path.
@nswer 1:
Please include "Action2 " and "Action1(On Send Back from Action2)" in the subblock.
If both the actions are in the same sequential block (sub-block) then you can set result state.
Question 2:
Please suggest me what to set result state of Action2 when it is completed and how to call Action3.
Tell me Action3 comes under Sequential Block?
@nswer 1:
Action2 must have two result state
1. Completed -- Assign it "Terminal"
2. Send Back -- Assign it "Action1(On Send Back from Action2)"
Action3 is outside Parallel Dynamic Block. The structure of your sequential block will look like this
Process
->Sequential Block
--->Action1
--->Parallel Dynamic Block
--->Action3

How to use parallel dynamic block in guided procedures!!

hi
My application is as following i have to initiate a process from a webdynpro for java application and after that i have to send the action to the multiple users..
For that i created a parallel block inside that a sequential block and inside that an action .
In my wdj coding i created a variable user and assigned this parameter for the role of that action.
But the problem is it is not going to the multiple users.
pls suggest me if there is some other solutions to do this.....
Pls give me a solution it is urgently needed

Problem in Parallel Dynamic Block

Hi All
I have a scenario in GP,
An initiator will make request and he/she want to get approval from multiple approvers. So the request want to go multiple users at a time.
Here I tried this with one Sequential block and a Parallel dynamic block.
In Sequential block I created inputform callable object using webdynpro DC and in Parallel dynamic block also created approval form using webdynpro DC.
Here i am facing a problem, while reaching the form to approval users, if any of the approver open it executed and submitted all other approver actions are also terminating or the inbox content is disapearing.
I want to exit from the Parallel dynamic block only after finishing all of the approvers submition.
Is any setting or modifications can be done to achieve this?
If anybody knows about this problem please reply me.
regards
Sajith

Hi Sajith
I think you are attaching multiple users to the same action (having approval form Callable Object). This will send the action to multiple approvals, but the process will be terminated on approval from any one of the multiple approvers. Due to this the request goes off from other approver's inbox.
I think for your scenario you can have a sequential block in which you pass the approver action to next approver only when the previous approver has approved it. You can do this by keeping a decision dialog process control, which gives you two actions approve and reject.
This will send the initiators request to multiple approvers and for the last approver you can terminate the process.
Parallel Dynamic Block is used for a scenario where you have to take a vote or survey, in this case you pass the survey document to multiple users (and multiple users are decided at runtime).
Please go thru this link to understand the Parallel Dynamic Block properly.

GP task dissappers in parallel dynamic block

hi,,
I want to use gp workflow using webdynpro development component callabale objects.
The flow is an initiator will initiate a task , it goes to 3 different users only after the three approvers have approved, it should move to the third single approver.
So i have used parallel dynamic block in the second step and the callable object is of webdynpro development component type .Now when an initiator initiates a task the three approves are getting the task.If any one approves also the task disappers form the other two users and moves to the next level.
I want the task to be moved to the next level only after if all the three users have approved.
please help....
Thanks in advance,
shami.

hi,
thanks for ur response.
From the initiator the process should go to three approvers simultaneously.
And then only after the three approvers have approved it should go to the third level approver.
how can this be achived..
thanks in advance.

Assigning roles to Parallel dynamic block-multiusers

Hi David,
I am using PDB in that one sequential block is used , which I am assigning to multiple users.I have assigned the role in Process- Default role tab.
Parallel dynamic block
Sequential block
Action1----
assigning multiuser
Every thing is working fine except when PDB will execute it will go to all users UWL but one user will complete the process, other user's process will not be able to complete the process.that process will end there.
Do you have any guideline for this?
Yogesh

Hi Yogesh,
Select the sequential block(body block) under the PDB and open the Roles tab. There select the option "Filled From Conext Parameter" and in the drop-down that appears select the user id. You must have an input parameter defined for all the COs present under the PDB type string and which is mapped to a username/role/group at parameter grouping.

Passing Multi line values to Parallel Dynamic Block.

Hi All,
In process structure as follows.
Process:
Sequential Block:

Action2:
DDPTSStatus(0..n)

I have done parameter grouping for PDB Multiline input (nodes) with Output of Action2 nodes at process level.
While i am trying to initiate action for Multiple users it is getting tasks in all users who are initiated but if one person performs the task action remaining users wont get the task and it will show No activity Present.
I think when i am Passing the values from Action2 output to PDB Action Input the problem is.
I am pasting the code which i wrote complete method of Action2 CO setting values for Multiline Input please correct me if i am wrong
IGPStructure output = executionContext.getOutputStructure();
for(int i=0;i<2;i++)
{ IGPStructure struct_ddptsStatus_out =
output.addStructure("DDPTSStatus");
// Set the values of the output parameters
/////////////development comments/////////////////
struct_ddptsStatus_out.setAttributeValue(
"Status",
wdContext
.nodeVn_DDPTSStatus()
.getCurrentElement()
.getAttributeValue(
"va_status")); }
executionContext.setResultState("Success");
executionContext.processingComplete();
Please tell me whether this code is correct.

Multiple user in a parallel dynamic process step?

Hi,
anyone an idea how to address an process step in an parallel dynamic block simultaneously to multiple users?
I already tried the Assign Users to Process Role-Callable Object. Unfortunately each added user to one step in the parallel dynamic block was added to the same step in each parallel thread.
Any suggestions how to solve this problem in a other way?
Thanks and best regards

Executing these tasks (reading from instrument AND prompting user for inputs) in parallel loops can solve your problem instantly, if you can share the code, one can pin point what & where exactly changes are required or parallel loop can be included (along with any other changes which might be required).
I am not allergic to Kudos, in fact I love Kudos.
Make your LabVIEW experience more CONVENIENT.

Parallel Conditional Block Example

I am new to Guided Procedures. I am trying to create a process that has a parallel conditional block where the block would execute when an output parameter equals some value. All the examples seem to have just simple sequential blocks. Can anyone point me in the right direction/reference?? I am sure this is very simple for you GP wizards.
Thanks.

One way for you to go about it is:
- first you need create one main sequential block B1 that'll contain the parallel dynamic block B2
- then you need your parallel dynamic block B2 that'll contain sequential blocks (B3 and B4) for each branching
The first callable object of your parallel dynamic block will be a "decision value" callable object. Based on the result of the decision value, the block B3 or B$ will be choosen.
Straightforward and easy to test. I mean normally

How to create dynamic blocks in oracle forms

Hi All,
Is it possible to create a dynamic blocks and items in forms? I mean based on table driven values I want to create a blocks and items in the forms.
I appreciate the help.
Thanks
Srini.

No, Here is an example.
Say for example I have a table called docs in that I have three columns col_name, col_type, and table_name the data will look like below
col_name|col_type|table_name
empno| single row| emp
empname| single row| emp
I want to create a block pointed emp table and columns (fields on the block) with specified in my docs table. The col name and table name may change based on some rules. So I want to create block (s) based data in docs table.
Thanks
Srini.

Parallel participants blocks in External Routing Service

I'm trying to configure an External Routing service (it implements IAssignmentService interface) as described in Developer's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite[1].
The assignment stage configuration needed: one or more parallel participants blocks in the same stage, each one configured with different participants and voting rules.
The CustomAssignmentService below shows my custom External Routing Service: when I try to add two or more parallel participants, only the first one it is assigned to the task.
I haven't found documentation: how can I implement parallel participants blocks in External Routing Service?

Regarding parallel queries in ABAP same as in oracle 10g

Hi,
   Is there any way we can write parallel queries in ABAP, in the same way we do in oracle 10g.Kindly see below;
alter table emp parallel (degree 4);
select degree from user_tables where table_name = 'EMP';
select count(*) from emp;
alter table emp noparallel;
SELECT /*+ PARALLEL(emp,4) / COUNT()
FROM emp;
The idea here is to distribute the load of select query in multiple CPUs for load balancing & performance improvement.
Kindly advise.
Thanks:
Gaurav

Hi,
>    Is there any way we can write parallel queries in ABAP, in the same way we do in oracle 10g.
sure. Since it is just a hint...
SELECT *
FROM t100 INTO TABLE it100
%_HINTS ORACLE 'PARALLEL(T100,4)'.
will give you such an execution plan for example:
SELECT STATEMENT ( Estimated Costs = 651 , Estimated #Rows = 924.308 )
       4 PX COORDINATOR
           3 PX SEND QC (RANDOM) :TQ10000
             ( Estim. Costs = 651 , Estim. #Rows = 924.308 )
             Estim. CPU-Costs = 33.377.789 Estim. IO-Costs = 646
               2 PX BLOCK ITERATOR
                 ( Estim. Costs = 651 , Estim. #Rows = 924.308 )
                 Estim. CPU-Costs = 33.377.789 Estim. IO-Costs = 646
                   1 TABLE ACCESS FULL T100
                     ( Estim. Costs = 651 , Estim. #Rows = 924.308 )
                     Estim. CPU-Costs = 33.377.789 Estim. IO-Costs = 646
PX = Parallel eXecution...
But be sure that you know what you do with the parallel execution option... it is not scalable.... .

Dynamic blocks within the WebUI. Is this possible?.

CRM 7.
We currently have about 14 user specific blocks within the Online Factsheet. We also have the same in the PDF Factsheet.
Some of these blocks show data in Metric (Kg, Cm's etc) but there has been a request to show data in Imperial format (Lb's and Inches etc), which is still used in the U.S.
Using the WebUI and within an Account there's an option under the 'More' tab to display either an Online factsheet or a PDF Factsheet. Does anyone know how I can control the entries in this pull-down tab?.
With regards to the Factsheet itself, I have two options open to me. The first to create another Factsheet which has the fields and column headings defined in the view config, or use the same factsheet/component/views and dynamically change the column headings and fields, which sounds harder.
The PDF Factsheet is easy to deal with as it's just a Smartform, so I can copy it and change it specifically for the Imperial format.
Has anyone done anything like this before, and perhaps give me the benefit of their wisdom?.
Best wishes
Jason

Thanks for the details.
I debugged the process and can see this line is providing the text on the tab. However, the method is making a low-level call to get the details from some message class/table, but I can't identify what this message class/table is.
But it looks like it's the sotr_edit transaction, as you mentioned, that controls this. I'm not that familiar with this OTR process though and the transaction is not that intuitive. I assume that I just need to somehow add new entry, with my own Z package.
Many thanks for the advice though, I knew nothing about that transaction. I also have to create another Online factsheet as well, and it looks like I can control it this way as well.
I had already modified table CRMV_PRN_CONTROL via sm30 and had changed the values for the Fom name and class/interface from CRM_ACC_ACCOUNT_OVERVIEW_PRN to ZCRM_ACC_ACCOUNT_OVERVIEW_PRN for the form name and from CL_UIU_PRN_ACCOUNT to ZCL_UIU_PRN_ACCOUNT for the class/interface against all the roles.
However, I know want to add another form name and class/interface as I have TWO user PDF Factsheets to use, depending on which item the user chooses from the Tab.
Any idea how I can control this?.
Best regards
Jason
