Resolve Process Workflows

Hi All,
I've just implemented an activeSync resolve process that notifies helpdesk staff that there has been an identity collision, and includes some information about the incoming data and the clashing identities. For the time being this is adequate.
Still, Identity Manager has a tonne of power and I know that I'm not using it. What are the things that you all would normally implement to handle identity clashes during activeSync processing? Is there any sample code out there that I can look at for ideas?

Hi.
Well, in fact, the new client is a copy of another and the background data for the workflow process is already copied. I just need to re-start the workflows but I was wondering if I can do anything easier than do it manually and one by one. Maybe a migration tool to copy "in process" workflows.
Another option is to redefine sub-WF and try to put every WF in his former situation, but the logic of the original WF is very complex so this is not an option.
I know that is very difficult to do that but...who knows!
Thanks for your interest.

Document level scripting from process workflow

Hi all,
is there some way to add a "document level" script from process workflow in Livecycle Workbench?
That is, I have a script i want to add to a pdf in my process workflow. How can I do that? Is there some service/function/script I can use to do that?
I'd really appreciate any help.
Thanks

Not that I am aware of, could be wrong though

Migrating in-process workflows

Hi all,
New to BPM. May be using 10g or 11g (possibly depending on the answer to this question). If I'm migrating workflows from another system, and a document is currently halfway through the workflow, how easy is it to take across that document and put it in a BPM workflow at the equivalent point in the process? Is it even possible?
Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions!

In Process Workflow Issue after Client Copy

Hi
We have made a client copy on our training system and wish to process workflow that were created on the original client. Currently, of course, all the workflow instances have the original client. Is there a way we can change this to the new client?
Regards
Ian

Looks like there is something the basis boys ran to update these instances (and any other non workflow related thinks). It is all part of the client copy process apparently.

TimeSheet Approval Process workflow

Hi All,
Please let me know how time sheet standard behavior of approval workflow.
I ran the timesheet approval process, I found in the event trace, the following business objects are showing for the process.
When employee requests for a timesheet approval, there is no workflow triggered ( no receiver in the SWEL), it is showing BO IDOCPACKET and event MASSINPUTFINISHED and when approval approves the request it is triggered the workflow (receiver is WORKITEM) single step type.
Please clarify me on
1. Why IDOCPACKET is triggered?
2. Why ATTENDENCE is triggered?
3. whenever a time sheet request is created by user, approver will get notifications, where these configurations have been maintained?
4. When approver approves/rejects the request, initiator will get the notifications, where these configurations have been maintained?
Thank You in advance.
Regards,
Pavan.

1 and 2) Are you sure that IDOCPACKET and ATTENDENCE have anything to do with CATS? I don't believe so. The time stamps of these events most probably don't event match with your CATS release and/or approval.
If you need to set up some kind of approval process workflow, if I remember correctly it is configured here: SPRO > Cross Application Components > Time Sheet > Specific setting for CATS Regular > CATS Regular > Set up data entry profile.

Karri

Moving "in process" workflows to another client

Hi all.
I have a custom workflow that asks a few people for some confirmations, it has an "spaghetti" logic. My problem is that I need to move it to a new client, so the new workflows are not a problem but the instances of the workflow with "in process" status (currently running on the system and waiting for some events or confirmations for example)can not be moved as they are.
Have I to re-launch these work items in the new client? is there any other easier solution? There are a lot of these workflows (at least 4000) and launching and processing them manually, to leave them on the same situation that they were on the other client is a tedious work.
How can I do that easily?
Thanks

OWB Process/Workflow in third party Workflow engines

Have any of you had experience using the XPDL file generated by the Process flow component of OWB to execute the Workflow in non-oracle Commercial and/or Open source Workflow engines?
If so I'd like to hear about it. I'm attempting to do the same and think that the Oracle Workflow component is too much work.
I appreciate your responses.

Hi,
Any update on it.

How to pass BindVariables to External Process (Workflow)

I build a shell script (unix) which accepts a command line parameter .... a "filename"
The "filename" is a dynamic name!
The workflow is build with a custom input parameter "filename" ... which I want to pass to an external process, which calls this shell script:
How can I do that ?
ExtProcess:
Command : Val=/bin/ksh
Parameter_List : Val=":/home/bin/myscript.sh:${Task.Input}:"
(Binding ":Filename" replaces the whole value, sorry)
Succes_Threshold: Val=0
Script : Val="" , Binding=":Filename"
... does not pass the value of ":Filename"
Script : Val="/tmp/fixed.name"
... works only with fixed names
what I really need is something simple like:
Parameter_list : Val=":/home/bin/myscript.sh:${Parameter.Filename}:FIXPARAM:"
or Script : Val=":${Parameter.Filename}:${Parameter.Param2}:${Parameter.Pram3}"
... similar problem I had with FTP, I found no way to pass dynamic filenames or other parameters (except LOCATION Parameters)
... similar problem I had with EMAIL I found no way to include PARAMETERS to the mail body (except to replace the whole body by 1 parameter)
Is there a solution or is in current version OWB 9.2 only "static" parameters supported.
I also was missing to pass OUTPUT-parameters for example of a TRANSFORMation,
I also was missing some urgent SYSTEM-parameters for self identification of the process(like "SYSTEM.TASK_NAME" "SYSTEM.EXECUTION_AUDIT_ID" "SYSTEM.ITEM_KEY" )
Thanks for all hints and best regards
Martin

Actually... After further investigation this may not be needed. I'd be interested in the answer, to understand what is possible.
The concept of passing parameters in the OWB workflow designer is rather limited, in my humble opinion. Sure, you can designate a "start" sequence that takes a parameter and you can pass that to mappings/transformations but there is no chance for feedback. Ie, if I manually (or through some rigged script) execute the flow with the "PARAMETER" then it will be able to bind. What about mid-flow. IE, select the record to be "processed", then call a "flow" with that as a parameter.
Am I mistaken? Is there a way to expose the "out" parameters of a mapping, or the return of a "transformation function" as "OUTS" in the process flow.
Of course, in a world where everything is OWB and in the DB one can leave data in tables, and pick it up on the other mappings. HOWEVER, most BI systems involve external retrievals, etc. that need a bit more "intelligence" then "run and return 1,2,3" . :)
Hope this is helpful for product feedback. If I'm mistaken on the WF capabilities please clue me in. :)
btw, I'm an OWB fan, certainly. The progress over the past two years has been excellent.

Creating Process Workflow

Dear All,
Dear All,
I had some mappings in my OWB and I don't want to run them individually, I want all of them to run at once in a specific order by a single click.
I read that i can do that with Process flow. Im using OWB 10.2 R2 so I tried to create process flow and get following error while creating its location:
"RPE-02053: The Oracle Workflow version cannot be retrieved. This may have been caused by an incomplete or incorrect installation of Oracle Workflow or the schema may not contain an Oracle Workflow repository. Please check the location details, reinstall Oracle Workflow, if necessary and try again."
But i dont really understand what this error means. Is there anything special i should act on?
its catched my eyes that as i was creating the Processflow module and so on, it was not possible to add it in the location where my target and sources are! I must created a new Location for the Process flow.
Please let me know, what i can do.
Thanks & Regards,

Change log issue in BRF process workflow SRM 7.0

Hi Experts,
I am new to SRM workflow. At the moment I have a requirement in SRM 7.0 BRF process control workflow.My requirement is to capture the changes done by the shopping cart approver's and also the changes done by shopping cart requestor. Below is an exmaple.
In some cases the first level approver or second level approver will edit the shopping cart , make some changes and will resend the same shopping cart to the requestor (the person who created the shopping cart). If the requestor accepts the same changes and save the shopping cart there is no need of sending the workitem to the first level approval or second level approver again, but incase if the requestor makes new changes to the shopping cart then the workitem should go to the first level approval or the second level approver.
How will the system identify the changes done by the first level approver or second level approver or the requestor?? Because based on the changes the workflow process will follow. Is there any log where the changes done by first level approver or second level approver are saved? and please let me know where to code for this requirement.
Thanks and Regards,
Prashanth

Note 868192 - Consulting solution: MM-SRV-SUS service procurement
A service entry in SUS is transferred to the R/3 system or ERP system using an IDoc after you submit the entry screen. Service entry sheets are created there and they are then available for release. You can perform the service entry in a number of ways:
Service entry of planned services: you can confirm planned services in the service entry in SUS. An overdelivery may occur if quantities are still open.
Service entry using time recording: planned services, for which a time recording is useful, can be split up. Time recording by the hour or by the day is possible.
Service entry for limits: You can use the free-text entry of new items and also the OCI-enabled catalogs to implement limits.

IDoc Error Processing workflow

Invoices are posted from SRM to ECC as IDocs whose message type is BBPIV. When there is an error in the IDoc input such as invalid IO and GL, invalid company code etc., these IDocs will be moved to status 51.
When IDoc is moved to status 51, work item need to be sent to approvers saying this IDoc has an error and need to be corrected. For this a workflow task needs to be developed.
In our system, there are two types of IDoc invoices sent to ECC. One is of type INVOIC01 and another is of type BBPIV01. There already exists a standard task TS00008057 which is activated for the event INPUTERROROCCURREDMM for IDOCINVOIC object type.
I shouldn't use the same event (INPUTERROROCCURREDMM) and IDoc object type(IDOCINVOIC) for BBPIV01, because responsible agents for both type of invoices are different in our company.
Please help us in getting this resolved. Also let me know if my approach is wrong towards this problem.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
Using the same BOR object and event for two different idoc types is not necessarily wrong. There are ways to differentiate the responsible agents based on the idoc type if needed.
Here is how I would solve this:
Prerequisite: you need to make sure that event IDOCINVOIC.INPUTERROROCCURREDMM is triggered when your BBPIV01 iDoc is in error. To check that, you can activate the event trace and test your idoc (activate with tx SWELS, display with tx SWEL).
If the event does not trigger then you need to find out which event is getting triggered (using the event trace as well).
Now the serious business:
1. Create a copy of standard task TS00008057 that will be used for when BBPIV01 iDocs are in error.
2. Link this task to your event IDOCINVOIC.INPUTERROROCCURREDMM in transaction SWETYPV
3. Check in SWO1 if you have an attribute that gives the idoc type (or anything else which you can use to determine wich workflow should start in each case).
If not you need to create a subtype of IDOCINVOIC and in the subtype create an attribute that returns the iDoc type. Then you would need to delegate IDOCINVOIC to your subtype.
4. Create start conditions (tx SWB_COND) in which you check that TS00008057 starts only when idoctype is INVOIC01 and your new task starts only when idoc type is BBPIV01.
Cheers,
Patrick

Create new process/workflow for tabbrowsing

Hi all!
I initially posted the following in the Safari area on this forum:
"Hi all!
In my never-ending quest to customize Safari to my liking (ie, make it feel like my favorite and default browser, Opera), I have a two-fold question for you guys:
1) How hard is it to create a plug-in for Safari that would force it to systematically open bookmarks from my Bookmarks Bar in a new tab in the current window? What's the step-by-step process to write such a program? Which tools are required?
2) Do you think it's possible to obtain the same result (opening bookmarks in a new tab) via AppleScript? If yes, how (again, step by step, since I'm not fluent in AppleScript yet...)?
Alright, the ball is in your court, now...

Hello Didier, You can open Automator click-on custom then type in search-field Safari choose Display Webpages>drag into window. Form there you add all the sites you need to open on launching
Safari (that's ruff) but you can always refine it.
More helpful is this automator action already done to do exactly what you want http://raoli.com/projects/automator-actions/ you'll find a download zip.

Re: Plug-in or AppleScript: how hard is it?

I would simply make the bookmarks in your bookmark bar a javascript command that attempts to open the desired bookmark in a new window. Then set safari to open new windows in new tabs (somewhere in the preferences). This will accomplish what you want without having to write a custom plug-in or use automator.
Powerbook G4 12" Mac OS X (10.4.8)"
But I'm stumped here, because I'm completely new to Automator. I know its basic principles, but I can't seem to order the processes in order to make a workflow.
I'd like Safari to open each of my bookmarks in a new tab, but not all at once. For example, when I'm staring at my homepage in Safari and clicking on one of my bookmarks, I'd like Safari to open the latter in a new tab next to my homepage, not overwrite it.
What to make of the answers to my original post? How to use Automator to suit my purposes? How to include a JavaScript command that will force Safari to open bookmarks and various URLs in a new tab?
I know, I know, lotsa questions...
Ideas, anyone?
PS: needless to say, I also download and saved the .action file recommended by one of the generous contributors. I put said file in the Automator folder I'd created in my Library folder, but I don't know how to put commands in the proper order...

I want my bookmarks to open in new tabs with a simple click, period... Opera does this natively, why can't Safari?
I don't see what Opera can do that Safari 3.2.1 can't already do.
The key is making sure not to keep individual bookmarks in your Bookmarks Bar where each would appear as a separate button. Instead, gather any loose bookmarks and organize them into folders. Future web pages to be bookmarked would be added to one of these subfolders, not to the main Bookmarks Bar.
To illustrate, my default Safari Bookmarks Bar contains these loose bookmarks: Apple, .Mac, Amazon, eBay and Yahoo, each of which shows up as a separate button on the bar. I can right-click on any one to have it open in a separate tab, of course, but this is time-consuming. If I wanted to open them at once in tabs I would first select Show All Bookmarks from Safari's Bookmarks menu, create a new folder called "Defaults" and drag the aforementioned items items into it. Thereafter, Apple, .Mac, Amazon, etc. wouldn't appear on the Bookmarks Bar as a separate buttons, but would instead be found under a single button called "Defaults."
I can then simply click on Defaults and choose "Open in Tabs" or, to automate the process even further, right-click on Defaults, select Edit Contents, and check the Auto-Tab check box. The Defaults button, now emblazoned with a tiny square to replace the downward-pointing triangle, requires only a single click to open all bookmarks contained by it in separate tabs (a feature which to me is simpler and more elegant than what Opera has to offer).
If I wanted to undo the action taken here and move Apple, .Mac, Amazon, etc. back to separate buttons on the Bookmarks Bar, I would simply drag them out of the Defaults folder, and then delete the Defaults folder.
My 2¢... Good luck.

Remove the last task of the stand approval process workflow in SharePoint Designer

Hello,
I am building a workflow in SharePoint Designer. I have added the standard approval process that comes stock in SharePoint. I also have the approval set up to handle change requests. This is where my issue is. A user can eather approve
a document or request changes(according to some limitations i have in place on the InfoPath form). If they approve, the workflow is complete. If they request a change, a request change task gets assigned to another user. This other user then
completes their review and submits their response. this then kicks off the approval process again to the original user to approve.
1. User A recieves approval form - requests a change
2. User B recieves Form - submits that changes have been made
3. User A recieves another approval form - then can approve
I am looking for a way to eliminate step number 3. I want User B to be able to complete the approval when he submits the changes. I tried copying and pasting the approve button from the default infopath view onto the view that UserB
sees, which has a data submit action when the button is clicked. This did not work.
Any ideas would help

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add a “request a change” button in the Task Form.
If you can cutomize the task form, I recommend to add button directly and then add conditions and rules to the button.
After you add the “request a change” button, the workflow is similar to the
Multiple Approval Workflow.
Here is a great blog for your reference:
