Removing Completed Work Item

Good day all.
Our Portal users facing an issue where sometimes the work item doesn't disappear from their Portal Task list even when they finish the execution.
We checked the workflow log and indeed those work item is in "Complete" status.
We also checked from user's back end (SAP Business Workplace), completed work item is not there.
Is this bugs in the Portal Task List because not in sync with SAP Business Workplace ?
Is there any transaction to get rid these work item of ?

Hi Sandy,
To add to Gareth, check this link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/eb/101fa0a53244deb955f6f91929e400/frameset.htm for exact information(Pull Channel Delta Refresh period in seconds).
Hope this should close the problem.

How to force Work Item Query Policy to refresh its cached query results?

I have enabled the Work Item Query Policy on my TFS project. It works as expected, except when using Visual Studio 2013 with the following sequence of steps:
User selects Check in Pending Changes from the Source Control Explorer
User enters in the ID of the work item to be associated to the changeset
User clicks the Check In button
Work Item Query Policy displays message ' Work item ##### was not found in the results of stored query...'
User realizes his mistake, and modifies (and saves) the work item so that it is returned in in the query result set
User clicks the Check In button again expecting the TFS policy to accept the association
Work Item Query Policy still displays message ' Work item ##### was not found in the results of stored query...'
Removing the Work Item and re-associating it does not make a difference. The only workaround that I have found is to close Visual Studio and reopen it. Does any one have a better solution than this?

Our setup is different from the one you are using:
- User is using VS 2013 Update 4.
- We are running TFS 2010 SP1
The test case that you described is different from the one that is causing my problem (that scenario works fine for me as well). I am trying to associate the check in to the same work item both times; whereas, you are associating it to a different
work item the second time. I can consistently reproduce the error using the following steps:
1) Create a query that returns All Bugs in Active state, and set it as the query for the Work Item Query Policy
2) Create and save a new Bug
3) Run the query to confirm that the new bug does not appear in the result set
4) Checkout a file, modify it, save it
5) Check in the file and associate it to the bug from step 2)
- the Work Item Query Policy will issue an error message saying that the work item cannot be found in the associated query
6) Change the state of the bug to Active, and save
7) Refresh the query to confirm that the bug now appears in the result set
8) Check in the file again
- error message from step 5) will not go away

How to forward a work item from user inbox

We are trying to find a way to remove work items from a users inbox. the workitem has not been opened

How to stop workitem complete or how to keep work item in inbox based on conditions even if it completed

Hi,
my requirement is to call webdyn pro screen from workflow..
i am calling webdynpro screen by using FM :CALL_BROWSER from workflow.
when webdyn pro screen is called user will enter some values . if user closed webdyn pro screen with out entering any values we need show this workitem in his inbox. so that user can again open it and enter values in the webdyn pro screen.
Please help how to stop work item complete based on conditions.
Thanks,
phani

Hi,
As per my understanding, this is not a proper approach toy call web dynpro using FM CALL_BROWSER. is the web dynpro screen being called when user clicks on the work item from portal UWL OR from SAP SBWP ?
if you are calling web dynpro screen from portal UWL when user clicks on work item link, better you achieve it using SWFVISU tcode. in SWFVISU tcode you can maintain which web dynpro. application to call when particualr work item task come in user's inbox. in your web dynpro code, then you can write your buisiness logic when user clicks for example SUBMIT/SAVE button. on action submit/save button you can use FM SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE to complete the worktiem once the user clicks on final submit/save button. in this way the workitem will get removed from user inbox only upon clicking on submit/save button.
You can refer below link for web dynpro for workitem:

Validation Error when updating Feature work item to completed state?

We are on the latest version of TFS 2013 and have customized process templates based off of the Scrum template.
We have a custom workflow for the Feature work item type. I get an error when trying to update the state to custom done state of "Prod Deployment Successful". The error I receive is below:
TF237165: Team Foundation could not update the work item because of a validation error on the server etc etc.
I have TFS Admin rights as well as project and project collection Admin rights.
Custom States:
Planned
Canceled
On Hold
In Progress
Ready For QA
QA Deployment Failed

I have also updated the Process Configuration file to map the states to the meta states so I can show the custom states on the Feature board. The section in the process configuration file that relates to Feature is below:
<States>
        <State type="Proposed" value="Planned" />
        <State type="InProgress" value="Canceled" />
       <State type="InProgress" value="On Hold" />
       <State type="InProgress" value="In Progress" />
       <State type="InProgress" value="Ready For QA" />
       <State type="InProgress" value="QA Deployment Failed" />
       <State type="InProgress" value="QA Deployment Successful" />
       <State type="InProgress" value="Ready For Stage" />
       <State type="InProgress" value="Stage Deployment Failed" />
       <State type="InProgress" value="Stage Deployment Successful" />
       <State type="InProgress" value="Ready For Prod" />
       <State type="InProgress" value="Prod Deployment Failed" />
        <State type="Complete" value="Prod Deployment Successful" />
      </States>
The error ONLY happens when I try to update a Feature state to "Prod Deployment Successful". I have looked at other posts and searched the internet and have found no help for my exact issue in TFS 2013. For some
reason, I can't update the state from "Ready For Prod" to "Prod Deployment Successful". Does anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong or causing my issue?
Thanks in advance!

I finally figured out my issue and fixed it.
I had to update a reference name in the WIT xml file to Common.BusinessValue instead of Closed.

BPE crash - Trying to remove work item and SXMB_MONI message that caused it

Hi,
I have a file to IDOC scenario with BPE. We have had a large file that was picked up by XI in error, but the adapter engine did process the XML conversion successfully. This message was sent to the BPE but due to the message size, the BPE crashed. Currently the work flow that caused the crash is in started status in report RSWF_XI_SWPC - continue workflow after system crash. and we have a message in SXMB_MONI for this workflow that is still in status outbound to PE "message being sent". We would like to remove or cancel the workflow and the message in XI. I have searched around for the best way to do this in this situation but have not found anything. We cannot cancel the message in SXMB_MONI due to the status it is currently in. Can we:
1. stop and start BPM to resolve the issue or
2. some how change the status of the workflow to error so the message in SXMB_MONI can be cancelled.
3. Should we just leave the work item and messge as is, because it is not affecting anything else in XI.
Any help would be apprecieated.
thanks.
Jamie

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I'm pretty sure I can delete the work item from SWWL but I don't think the outbound status of the message is SXMB_MONI will change once this is done.
thanks.

Incomplete Approval Work Item Removed from Agent Inbox

Dear All WF Experts,
I noticed this strange scenario:
Let say Agent A and Agent B are sent a work item.
If Agent A has executed the work item in SBWP previously, the work item is removed from Agent B's inbox (And the status is changed to 'STARTED'). However, the work item is not processed yet.
Is there anyway to make the work item stays in the inbox until either agent approved the work item?
Thanks in all advances.
Regards,
YL

Thanks Arghadip for your response. Sorry for my blunt question.
Actually, the Agent A and Agent B are the approvers for PR approval by position (Agent A and Agent B are the users in the mentioned position).
Thus, when a PR is raised, both Agent A and Agent B received the same PR work item.
If Agent A execute the work item but does not release the PR, the work item still remains in Agent A's inbox as there is no terminating event. So, based on the logic, in Agent B's inbox, the work item should still be there because the work item is not fully processed yet (no terminating event takes place).
But, now, from what I saw, as long as any of the responsible agents executed (started) the work item, even if they do not release it, the work item is removed from all other agents' inbox and only remain in the inbox of the agent who first executed the work item.
I interpreted this as there is at least one agent already view the work item and know the existence of the PR to be approved, thus the other agents do not need to bother about the PR anymore. But, is my interpretation correct? And is there anyway to make the work item stay in the inbox of all approvers until there is one terminating event?
Thank you so much.
Regards,
YL

Forward work item that has been completed

Can I know if there is anyway that I can forward the work item to someone even though the transaction has already completed?
Also I would like to know if I can forward the work item to someone when it's not in a dialog step?

Hello Shreya,
You can forward the workitem from the transaction code SWIA.
You can also forward the non-dialog work item too from the same transaction code.

One of the user is unable to remove obsolete Tags from new work items and search query

Hi I am new to TFS Administration, User has some obsolete Tags in TFS site which is removed on the Backlogs but user can see those tags when he is creating new work items and while querying the Work Items but he is not able to see any obsolete tags in Backlogs.
TFS version: TFS 2013 SP2
Steps followed:
we queried each tags, we see 0 work items associated with the tags
As per MSDN, we have to remove associated tags which automatically removes the Tags after 3 days
The user is facing the same from past week
Am i missing something? or will the list of Tags be available in new work items and querying WITs? Please help
Thanks in Advance

Hi BE,
I tested this scenario in my TFS 2013 Update 4 Server, and found that Tags will disappear from Tags dropdown list automatically after serverl days, if there’s no any work item associated that Tags.

Remove completed items in notes

There seems to be a way to remove completed items in the To Do view through mail, but not in the Notes view under the reminders folder. Any idea how to make that happen?
If you don't use the Notes feature to create events, then you are very limited in terms of adding detail (bullet lists, etc.), so I am creating all To Do items as notes.
If anyone knows of good apps that will add functionality into Mail/Notes/To Do (not stand alone apps) that allow more complexity (such as sub-items) and flexibility, I would love to know about it.

Use notes in vertical position (portrait)

Need to remove work item.

Hi Experts,
I am getting a work item in SBWP Transaction.Now If I check the workflow for this ITem Through Transaction PFTC.
I got in Rules there in responsibility tabs have no position which consists our user.
But still the Our user is getting that message.
And that message is for diaproval.
I want to remove or hide that message. How it can be done?
Thanks,
Jassi

You might be getting those workflow messages, since someone might have kept you as their substitution. Hence the work items which should actually appear in their inboxes gets forwarded to your mailbox since you are the substitute for them.

Invalid execution GUID. Work item could not be completed.

Hi People,
Lately, users have been complaining a lot of Invalid execution GUID. Work item could not be completed. What does it mean exactly, in a general sense, as I know it depends on the error. But what is the general consensus of such an occurence?

Leave Request Workitem error Work item cannot be executed in status COMPLET

Hi All,
In case of leave request application when one particular manager is trying to approve the leqave request he is getting the error message
Work item 000000003046 cannot be executed in status COMPLETED
when i check in workflow log i am getting the workitem id for the dialog task it is 0000000002111
work item id 000000003046 mentioned in the workflows is for my background task which is already completed.
This is happening on production server. Other managers are able approve and reject the leave.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Umesh Chaudhari.

Hi Florin,
Thanks for your reply.
I could not understand your view fully you are saying
Why modifying the SAP Standard when it could be solved by the SAPNet? There's a hint in the OSS Note's text regarding a problem for custom-made workflow patterns related here.
Here are you suggesting some new sap note? which will revert to the previous code or something like that.
What pavan is talking is
SORT lt_dep_wis STABLE BY WI_ID. "Note ANK 980004
LOOP AT lt_dep_wis INTO lcl_dep_wis. ENDLOOP.
Pavan: can you please give the details of the implicit Enhancement - Enhancement point or something as I could not find any implicit enhancement here.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Umesh Chaudhari
