Replying to Workflows

I'm having a problem replying to workflows in Content Services 10g with the 10.1.2.3 patchset. Whenever the workflow notification arrives in the mailbox, there is a line in the message that says "For complete request details click here "
Whenever I click this link, you can view the workflow request details with "Approve" "Reject" or "Cancel" buttons. Whenever I click the "Approve" button, there is a 404 File Not Found error. Apparently there is a jsp titled "workflowRequestDialog.jspx" missing.
The workflow approve/reject does work if I just use the email to reply. Anyone seeing the same behavior or should I open a TAR?

Hi!
What is that "later release" of OCS? Are there any newer patchsets than 10.1.2.3?
BTW, where we can acqire workflowCompleted.jspx file, to manually copy it to proper directory?
best wishes

Absolute URL not working for reply in workflow

I've setup a workflow that will email a group when a new discussion or reply is added. I get the email with the subject of the discusssion and the absolute URL for new discussions, but when a reply is created the email comes without the subject and the absolute
URL goes to a page that doesn't exist.

Hi,
When it comes to a reply in the discussion list, you need to take extra steps to get the URL. You can set the workflow actions like this:
If Current Item: Content Type ID equals Discussion
Email user group(use the Encoded Absolute URL in the email content)
Else if Current Item: Content Type ID equals Message
Email user group( Use this URL in the email body:
http://servername/Lists/Team%20Discussion/Flat.aspx?RootFolder=%2FLists%2FTeam%20Discussion%2F[%Current Item:Discussion Subject%]. This will link you to the flat view of the discussion. If you want to link to the display form for the message, you can set
the URL like this:
http://servername/Lists/Team%20Discussion/DispForm.aspx?ID=[%Current Item:ID%])

How can I get Automator to create a workflow for combining .jpgs into pdf?

I have a large folder with many subfolders, and each subfolder has many subfolders. Those last mentioned subfolders have many .jpgs inside which I want to make them into a pdf. The question is, how can I get automator to do this for me? I tried using the help but it only made things even more confusing, it didn't help at all. I also have an app for creating pdfs out of combining pngs, jpgs, gifs, etc. (Combine PDF).
The task of making hundreds of pdfs out of so many jpgs that I have, is there somehow a way I can get automator to do this for me? So far I haven't even found an example with understandable screenshots so that I can get into the correct way of making a workflow do what it is supposed to do correctly.
Please help...

Thank you for your reply, the workflow is opened fine, however I'm not sure how to then get this scripted workflow to do what I want to do? I'm a complete n00b when it comes to Automator, is there perhaps a tutorial for idiots that is known where I could read about starting out with Automator to understand it better?
Thank you

Regarding PR Release workflow:

My pr release workflow is 8 levels.
1st level is working fine( getting workitem to sap inbox of 1st level approver and releasing from his inbox)
when it comes to second level it is automatically releasing from me54n.(am not getting any workitem to sap inbox of 2nd level of approver)
and it is not showing in workflow log also.(total skipping second level)
3rd level is working fine.
can you pls tell me the solution.
thanx in advance.

hi
thanx for ur reply.
in workflow log i saw 1 st level succesfully completed.(this is loop 1 in workflow log)
then after is going 3rd level(this is loop 2 in workflow log)
total 2nd level is skipping(is not showing in workflow log)
because 2nd level is automatically releasing in me54n so it is going directly to 3rd level as a loop 2.
pls check below attached docuent.
That is the code i used inside business object to getting agents.
first agent getting correct only -1st level
second agent is skipping when debugging time(because 2nd level is automaticcay released in ME54N)
third agent is getting correct only- it is showing as a second level
so pls tell me a solution how to control automatic release in me54n for 2nd level?????
best regards,

OWB 10g R2 - Workflow vs Unix scripts.

hi,
i've created one mapping in OWB.
which one i've to use either workflow or Unix scripts to run that mapping?
Which is better?
If anyone have good docs or links plz reply ASAP.

Workflow is designed to manage the run order and dependancies between multiple activities. It has the advantages of making it easy to run things in parallel, to model complex execution paths with options to execute items serially or in parallel, and allows administration via Oracle tools.
However, it is NOT the most intuitive tool, has limitations regarding naming (max 8 characters for process flow groups, requires unique names across all of your projects), and is definitely more complex to manage deployments with across multiple verticals.
If you only have a few mappings to run, I'd go with shell scripts and cron as the hands down winner. It could email you the results, and the OWB repository browser would still have all of the info if you need to troubleshoot.
If, however, you have a large number of mappings with complex run-order dependencies, then I would lean towards Workflow.

WS01200003 workflow is hanging.

Dear all workflow expert,
I have a leave request workflow which is customize where i include this WS01200003 workflow in my customize workflow. This is to find and lock employee record so that it can upldate the infotype. It is working fine in my development. However in my production, when executing this workflow WS01200003, after successfully performing the find employee, it just stop at the lock employee task (TS20000150), with no error and just showing the status waiting there.
I had maintain all the agent as well as my employee is not lock backend. Why it only work in my development but not production. If this is a standard task, it should be works in both right?
When i compare the task in SWI1 for task TS20000150, there are some different.
             Production         Development
Status    : Waiting            Completed
Done On   : 31.12.9999         06.12.2007
Agent     : No Agent Avilable Workflow System
Aynone can help please...??
Thanks

Hi Sankar ,
Thanks for your reply, the workflow is general in production server. But it still hanging there.
I am using the standard task 20000153 with object EMPLOYEET and method FINDWITHOUTDIALOG to look for the employee that apply for the leave.
This is a new implementation for workflow, i am afraid there is some config which are not done and cause this error.
IN SWI1, it show that the done date for production is 31.12.9999 and no agent. Apart from the general task, is there any config that need to be done?

How instantiate data when I run the workflow by transaction ?

Hello,
I created a workflow using BOR BUS2005 starting by transaction.
I put the BOR BUS2005 on my workflow-container and on the tab-initialvalue I put the value N° 223344.
I mean that when I test the WF, this one is triggered if an event is created by Order N° 223344. So it's ok it's run.
But when the user, by start transaction, choose an other order number the WF is not triggered.
So my question:
How to pass the order number entered by the user at object bus2005 ?
Tks.
In other words:
We must use a structure on form start but inside the workflow there's a BOR. SO, how to link data entered on structure at bor ?
Edited by: Roberto Baldassarre on Jul 2, 2010 9:54 AM

Hello,
tks for reply.
"Workflow starting by transaction" mean that I created a "Start form" used to trigger the WF.
Usually there's an event used to trigger a WF, but in my case non.
I used a form (and related transaction) created in SWDD and called by SWUI: the user can entry a parameter -
in my case manufacturing order number.
Inside a WF there's BUS2005, and I have to pass the order number entered in start form to BUS2005.
My question is: how to do it !!
Need more info ?

Notifications not going to the contact person

Hello Friends,
Scenario - When i create an RFI Customer activity in a CSR and set its status to 'Requested Customer'', a notification (more information is required) goes to the contact person and the team lead of CRO (Customer Responsible Organization). If the customer does not reply for 3 days (in case of a High Severity CSR) or 7 days (in case of severities other than High), then reminder notifications (more information required - reminder) get triggered which go to the contact person and the team leads of CRO.
Problem - In the first case,the notification (more information is required) goes to the contact person and the team lead of CRO (Customer Responsible Organization) where as in the second case, the reminder notifications do not go to the contact person, but they go to the team leads of CRO.
Analysis - There are 2 workflows that get triggered when the RFI Customer activity in a CSR and set its status to 'Requested Customer''. The first one sends the notification (more information is required) to the contact person and team leads of CRO immediately. The other workflow checks whether the customer has replied for 3 days (in case of a High Severity CSR) or 7 days (in case of severities other than High), and then sends the notification to the contact person and team leads of the CRO. I have checked the bindings, tasks, receiver rules and the methods in both these workflows. They are exactly similar. The only difference in these workflows is the wait step added in the second workflow.
Do you have any clue as to what is the reason behind the second workflow not sending the notifications to the contact person ?
Appreciate your help and timely response.
Thanks
Prashant

Hello Rick,
Thank you for your response. Here are the answers to your queries -
Question -->Is a mail being sent to the same email address in both workflows with SendMail, and only working in one of them?
Answer --> Yes
Question -->There must be some other difference other than the wait step.
Answer --> The difference between the 2 workflows is mentioned step by step as below -
Workflow for which the notifications are sent to the contact person and team lead of CRO
Step 1 --> Condition step whether the email address exists or not.
If No --> Sends a mail to the LDA (Local Database Administrator) to maintain the email address of the contact person
If Yes --> Goto Step 2
Step 2 --> Condition step whether the Severity of the CSR is High or not
If Yes --> Send step (to send the email notifications to the contact person and team lead of CRO)
If No --> Send step (to send the email notifications to the contact person and team lead of CRO)
Workflow for which the notifications are not sent to the contact person and team lead of CRO
Step 1 --> Condition step whether the email address exists or not.
If No --> Sends a mail to the LDA (Local Database Administrator) to maintain the email address of the contact person
If Yes --> Goto Step 2
Step 2 --> Condition step whether the Severity of the CSR is High or not
If High - Wait Step (waits for 3 days before sending the notifications to the contact person and team lead of CRO)
If Other - Wait Step (waits for 7 days before sending the notifications to the contact person and team lead of CRO)
Step 3 --> Condition step to check the CSR Status (to check whether the customer has replied or not)
If Yes(customer replied) --> End workflow
If No (customer has not replied)--> Send step (to send the email notifications to the contact person and team lead of CRO)
Question -->How have you implemented the wait step? Does it fetch the address before or after the wait?
Answer --> The email address is fetched at the very first step.
Question -->What happens if you make a test workflow with just the Sendmail step and send to the same address?
Answer --> The notification goes to the same email address.
Kindly let me know if the information that i have provided is comprehensive enough. Your help will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks

Unable to process a workitem

Hi,
I have an issue with my QM Notification WF. This is a custom WF designed by me. Business object is QMSM.
The issue is: In my WF, I have a Dialog step assigned to some agent. The step is working fine and the agent assignment is also working fine, but the problem is that the agent is not able to process the WI. When the agent tries to process the WI it is giving the message 'No administrator found for the task'.
I doubt this issue is due to some missing authorisations to the agent. Because the agent can process the same WI in someother system.
Please help me to find the exact issue.
Thanks,
Murali.

Hi Matthias,
Thanks for your reply.
Workflow settings are fine and also the role SAP_BC_SRV_USER is set for the user.
The user can able to process the other WIs but not this WI. Actually this is a general task and by processing this WI the user will be taken to transaction IQS12. The BO and Method attached to this WI are QMSM and EDIT respectively.
Thanks,
Murali.

HCM process and forms - 'in process' status

Hi all,
I have configured a HCM p&f. The issue is that I am able to initiate the form only once and then it is always in 'in process' status.
Is it something that I am missing in the workflow to pass the values?
Could you please suggest.
thanks much,
Nandhini

Hi,
thanks for the reply. Workflow is activated and I checked the design time proces as well, cannot find any issue there.

Transporting "Release Necessary" for Parked Documents

Good evening everyone,
I developed a workflow in our developing servers which servers to RELEASE parked documents prior to posting. I set up the configuration necessary in SPRO in order to archive this, but once it got moved to Quality servers for further testing it is not working. Transports were successfully moved and the configuration appears to be identical. Any ideas or experience with this precise situation?
Will appreciate any kind of response, and thank you!

Hello Alexander !
            You have stated as follows in your reply :
The workflow is being executed, but the release method cannot be done
            From the above statement, it implies that document is not getting released.
            Please make sure all necessary parameters are passed to release method and binding is perfect.In the workflow log, please check the parameters required for successful execution of RELEASED method is populated with respective values.
           Hope you have transported the objects in the sequence they're created.
Regards,
S.Suresh

Workflow in reply dependent on parent field values

We have a key existing process which could be described as a member of one organization sends a work request to a different organization. The first organization has a manager assigned to this job. The second organization assigns a lead engineer to the job. These two people negotiate a target completion date. Throughout this the job moves through various workflow states. In a number of cases after the job is in progress, circumstances change that might require the target to be renegotiated. However for the sake of various metrics, the original target has to be maintained and the job cannot be moved out of the in-progress state.
This process was implemented using the SiteScape forum product about 7 years ago. The way we dealt with this issue in forum was to have a custom reply type to revise the target date. That reply type has its own workflow which uses a workflow question to which both the manager and the lead engineer respond. Those people are designated in the parent record.
When implementing this in Vibe, it appears that although it looks like you can designate those fields as the responders in the workflow, it does not work. I am assuming that it is because there is no way for the system to know that it is supposed to be those field values in the parent record.
I suppose that it would be possible to re-engineer this process in some way that might be more compatible but then I would be left with over 30 thousand records of critical importance that could not be migrated to a new Vibe based system.
What I really need is a way to tell the system that these values are on the parent record.
Any thoughts or help doing this would be appreciated.

Re: I : Workflow applications -Reply

Daniela,
We at Claremont Technology Group are in the implementation stage of a
Forte/Workflow system for Public Employee Retirement systems. We are using
Action Technologies' "Action Workflow" to handle the workflow portion of the
application. Action has an API set that allows you to build a custom workflow
system with any development tool. Integration with Forte is fairly complex as
all API's need to be wrappered. Action is very expensive, and their technical
support staff has not been real helpful to date, as they aren't familiar with
Forte. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

I forward this reply to the list because I think it can be of general

Dear Forte users,
we have to develop applications based on workflow concepts, having to to
manage the flow of administrative documents in the Public Administration
world.
Has anyone had any experiences of developing such applications using Forte
technology (by itself or integrated with some workflow or groupware
specific products)?
Do you have any ideas?
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, Daniela
This spring I evaluated and tested more than 20 the most
wide-spread workflow packages. The idea was not to develop
this part of our Forte Application by ourselves, but try to
incorporate into it COTS software. The only package that
was very close to be incorporated (through using OLEGEN),
and I was able to create classes in Forte and run very simple
application, was ViewStar.
Unfortunately, the real implementation of workflow part in our
system was postponed till the next phase, so we just keep
this in mind. And ViewStar costs a lot of money.
If You need details, please, drop a e-mail.

Hi
You should turn the unit upside down and should wait until the unit dried.
In best case the unit should power up properly but it could be possible that your motherboard or another part like RAM module or keyboard could be affected.
Something similar happened to my girlfriends notebook. In my case the RAM module was dead and notebook could not boot up I replaced the RAM and was happy to see the Toshiba splash screen

Hi,
More details about your discussions forum will make others easier to find a corresponding solution on your requirement.
If you mean there are three Discussion Board list waiting for synchronizing, I would suggest you create an Event Receiver for the three Discussion Board list.

Cannot set the email from address (reply-to) in SharePoint Designer workflow

I have created several workflows for custom lists. Among other actions, they send out emails. It appears however, that they all use the same from-address. I would like to supply each of these workflows with different reply-to addresses.
Can I do that? After a lot of searching it appears that the only way is to create separate Web Applications, since the reply-to address is set on Web Application level. But that would require several extra web applications in my case, which again need their own site collections and sites.
I really, really miss a "From" field in the SharePoint Designer workflow "Send e-mail" action.
Best regards, Jan.

Hi,
I think it is not possible out of the box. Have a look at the "Send email extended" custom SPD workflow activity (http://www.codeplex.com/SPDActivities ). As per the website "Send email extended - Enhanced version of the OOTB activity. Allow you to specify the sender. Also does not break links in body."
Hope it helps.
