Rejecting a BPF step:Planner to be notified

Hi everybody,
Is there a way by which a planner can be notified that the reviewer has rejected his step via BPF?
We can have email notifications set up for completion as well as a change in status.However i dont see any standard way by which a planner can be notified or a notification happening when a review process is done.
A few thoughts i have:
a- Looking at the back end "BPF status" table and setting up a SQL trigger
b-Setting up a planner property within the derive dimension to work backwards than how a reviewer property works
c-including status change step via Web tasks to pull it back to sm unlocked mode manually when a step is rejected(definitely not a gd option)..
I have been trying on this for a few days but not yielding any strong results.Any expertise if could be shared on the same would be immensely appreciated.

Hi,
with the BIDS you can create a dts with several connected tasks, on the arrow that connect, right click and you have the possibility to set a constraint or expression or combined constraint and expression with "and" and "or" conditions that permits you to choose different ways dependening of the precedent step results.
You have directly on the right click "success" "failure" and "completion" or if you click on "edit" you can use expressions.
please look at the documentation, so if you want on failure options you can add and connect a sendmail task

  • Change Workstatus with BPF step completion using BADI

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement of changing Workstatus as soon as the user clicks on “Submit/Approve/Reject” button from the BPF.
    We are trying to implement the same by referring to the thread Automating Work status Change in BPF
    Now the thing is, we have written the BADI referring above thread which needs to be pass with some parameters(Owner & Context Members).
    Our concern is how to pass active context members to BADI, and how to trigger the same from the Submit/Approve/Reject button in BPF?
    Is it a manual invocation through script/DM, or is there any other way?
    Since I am new to BPC BADI’s and requirement is urgent, please help………
    Thanks in advance

  • BPF step with no action?

    Howdy experts,
    SBOP PC NW 7.5 SP05
    I was asked a question about BPF's this afternoon and I'm stumped.  The user wants to have a step within a BPF that requires no BPC action.  The action that the user is responsible for is actually in another system, but they want to show the step in a BPF.
    If I create a BPF step and skip the action portion, I get an error when I create an instance (see below)
    [Screen capture of error|http://content.screencast.com/users/leonardgolf/folders/SnagIt/media/0dbc96c2-6439-40ea-b2e1-ea86310fc1fb/12.06.2010-16.45.46.png]
    Note that the name of the step that I created for testing is "generic step".
    Any ideas how to accomodate the business need for an actionless BPF step?

    Hi,
    This is a problem. Validation will definitely throw an error if a step doesnt have any actions or doesnt have any substeps. So, I dont think this will be feasible. May be you can consider custom menu as an alternate.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can BPF step reviewer be specified to a certain user?

    Hi,
    I know that each step in the BPF has to be either "completed" or "reviewed" before going to the next step.
    I wonder if this "complete" or "review" actions can be limited to certain users. For example, a step can only be reviewed or completed by a vice-president before a local sales manager goes to work in the next step of the BPF.
    Thank you!
    Sunny

    If you look under Component Services - Computers - My Computer - Distributed Transaction Coordinator, you can set the security model for DTC.
    As far as the job failing, you may have pass-thru security issues or a mis-configured proxy account.  Hard to tell without detailed error messages.

  • Reset BPF step status for some of the company only

    Dear all,
       For example , we got 5 steps.
       All the companies finish to step 3.
       The step 1 and 2 has been locked.
        Suddenly, one of the company have to do some modification from step  2.
       Is it possible to unlock step 2 for that company only?
       It seems that we have to reset BPF status for all instances to do the change now.
    Best Regards,

    HI,
    If you haven't done so, try repairing disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Processing workflow reject on first step

    Hi all,
    May i know how to process reject code when workflow reject happens on the very first step.
    I understood that if happens on the second step, we should process the reject code on the entry event of the first step, but may i know how it happens on the first step?
    thanks

    Review/Edit Revision, or Review/New Revision types of workflow steps provides an option, but not necessity to modify the content (the current, or a new revision). Therefore, yes, it is possible to have a Review/Edit Revision step with zero reviewers. It will forward processing the next step (note that you could define Entry, Update, or Exit event scripts for this step, so a "zero reviewers" step can serve as a fork).
    On the other hand, it is not possible to jump to a Review step after rejection. From whatever reason it follows the design that rejection expects the content item to be changed, which cannot be done in a Review step. Another (IMHO illogical) design aspect of REJECT is that it does not execute the Exit event.
    Having asked the first question, yes, you could place an arbitrary zero reviewers Review/Edit Revision step in front of a Review step to achieve that REJECT returns to the Review step (it will return the the Review/Edit Revision, but follow immediately to Review).

  • BPF: Review step not showing up

    Hello,
    We are running SAP BPC 5.0.505
    When defining a BPF, we checked enable reviewers. Now when BPF step is complete "Review required" is showing next to it.
    But the reviewer does not get two Reject/Accept radio buttons.
    I remember being able to set reviewer steps before in SP3. Is this a new bug in SP4?
    BTW, I used AppShell to set a test BPF with reviewer and wasn't able to get it to work either.
    Thanks,
    Roman

    It is a bug in SP4. SP5 fixed it

    Is your question resolved?

  • BPF - Execute Step from Web

    Hi all
    We are running SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP7 patch 1.
    When we execute a BPF step from the 'Interface for the Web', before the system executes the step in the 'Interface for Excel', the system prompts for the AppSet, Application (i.e the login box is activated). The User authentication model currently being used is via LDAP. Is there any way to avoid this prompt  (ie. automatically log in to appset) before the BPF Step is executed.
    Thanks, Craig

    Any suggestions?
    This occurs in Microsoft version too.
    Thanks!

  • Customizing the email message sent from BPF after step completion

    Is it possible to customize the email message sent by BPF after a step completion.I would like to customize the email sent by the SAP BPC once a BPF step has been completed. Is it possible to add some dynamic parameters related to the BPF as part of the email message, for example : Cost Centre, Account, Finance or any dimension related to the BPF
    Currently it sends out a message as given below
    [Approve Data] step of [Test BPF 1] has been completed by dom\bpfuser
    Where 
    [Test BPF 1]         => Name of the BPF
    [Approve Data]  => A Step in the BPF
                    dom\bpfuser    => Domain\ User name
    Note :In the APPSET Parameter  BPFSTEP_COMPLETE_MSG  we tried to add a custom message but it seems to add to display along with the existing message and treats the variables as plain text.

    I used the Note 2 for over 6 months before it started happening. About the same time, my husband's iPhone started sending text to email messages at attachments to I blamed it on his phone. I went into his settings and couldn't find any reason and I checked a multitude of websites and saw MANY people having the same issue with no resolution. I also tried deleting all text history and contact info from both of our phones but it continued to happen until I reset my phone to factory defaults.
    2 weeks ago I purchased the Note 3 and text messages from my daughter started coming as [email protected] Again, I tried purging all contact information and text message history from both phones with no success. I waited until my daughter upgraded to a Galaxy S4 Mini. I reset my phone to factory at the same time I was setting her phone up and that has fixed the problem again.
    My main concern now is that this bug will again randomly rear it's ugly head and I'll again have to reset my phone to factory, losing all my settings and taking days to customize it the way I want it again.
    Thank you for ANY help you can give.

  • Terminate loop in user decision step

    Dear Experts,
                         I have a user decision step in my workflow; which has two buttons e.g; approve and reject buttons. this step is in the loop. I want to terminate the loop when user click on Approve button. How I should capture the ID of approve button. OR there is some other idea to terminate the loop; as I don't have any other condition to stop the loop.
    Regards,
    Sohail

    Hi Sohail,
    Create one workflow container (e.g. APPR_FLAG) of type CHAR1. Then just after APPROVE branch of user decision step create one 'container operation'  step and set the APPR_FLAG to X. finally in you loop end condition put terminating condition as APPR_FLAG = X. So this your loop will terminate once qgent clicks on APPTOVE button.

  • Notifying users when a request is made

    Hello Friends,
    I have a problem when launching notifications when sending response to a request.
    Here the scene in detail:
    1. The user user01 (who makes the request) with mail account: [email protected] makes a resource request through the administration console of Oracle Identity Manager.
    2. He gets a notice via email to the user's account approv (who approved the request) to account mail: [email protected]
    3. The sender of the email the user approver in this case is correct:
    From: [email protected]
    To: [email protected]
    4. When the user approver approves or rejects the request he receives a message notifying the requesting user
    From: [email protected]
    To: [email protected]
    5. According to point No.4 the requesting user should receive notification of the user in this case: From: [email protected]
    The stage is on an environment of Oracle Identity Manager 9.1.0.2
    Any recommendation to correct this notification process. thanks

    Friend,
    What is required is notified through the e-mail to each applicant (this part if configured correctly) when making the request and notify the approver with your email address to the requesting users the status of the application when approved or rejected (in this part the notification has been done with the requesting user's account. See example in the previous thread)
    In addition the accounts you have created with the duly completed Mail field.
    Thanks..

  • Notifying all contacts in Mac Mail of address change

    Thanks, worked like a champ after a little figuring out where and how to access the download folder. Was a good learning experience, appreciate the help. If you can, does the notify you when the mail ap is not running? Or does the mail program have to be running to have it notify you.
