Respond to Human Task via email.

Hi,
I'm trying to setup Human Workflow notification service, so I can get the user to action (reject, approve, etc) on the task without login in to Worklist Application.
I successfully managed to get the email sent to the users email through the notification service. Then for example once the user clicks on the 'Approve' link on the email, a new window with approval data appears and can be replied back.
However I keep getting an email reply with the below text, and the Human Task never get actioned. Could someone please help? Thanks a lot.

I can add the attachment via the worklist app itself using the same user.
I got this code directly from the source for the worklist app. Reference their file WorklistServlets.TaskAttachment.java
I had reverted to using the classes in oracle.tip.pc.api.worklist as the newer ones in oracle.bpel.services.workflow all say they do not support file attachments.

Problem with complete task via email

Hello,
I have problem with complete task via email. I found this blog very useful (http://blogs.adobe.com/ADEP/2010/11/how-to-complete-a-task-via-email-using-reply-to-comple te.html), but...
I set up everything as it’s written in blog mentioned above. When a task is assigned to me, I received an email notification with actions (accept, deny). After that I replied with action “accept”. Then I received email with subject “Errors from LiveCycle ES”:
LiveCycle ES has tried to process your request and encountered the following error:

Can you me please? I have no idea what to do to succesfully complete task via email endpoint. Thanks

Hi Diana, thanks for your reply.
You're probably right about 2 different error messages.
To the 1st one: I'm sure that status task is Assigned (to me). I received an email and I also reply on that email.
To error log: I found out that error log appears when I enable email endpoint on Complete Task service. But I managed to solve this problem. I set wrong user. Now I have here the same user as is written in login-config.xml so log seems to be ok.
So I created new task and tried to complete it via email. Now I receive email with another error:
LiveCycle ES has tried to process your request and encountered the following error:
com.adobe.idp.dsc.provider.service.email.impl.EmailProviderException: Error getting user context

Human task notification email problem

Hi All,
We are getting a strange error with the Human Task Notification email. All mail settings look fine, but we are receiving "Error 500 -- internal server error" in the notification email. As far as we can tell, the email is sent to the right receipt, which is specified by expression, and Worklistapp is working properly. The error is complaining that the authentication of the user "workflowsystem" fails. I believe that it's a system user, but have no idea why it fails.
This is the notification sent to the assignee and the followings are the details of the error:
Error 500--Internal Server Error
javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.servlet.ServletException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: oracle.security.jps.internal.api.jaas.AssertionException: javax.security.auth.login.FailedLoginException: [Security:090304]Authentication Failed: User workflowsystem javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: [Security:090300]Identity Assertion Failed: User workflowsystem does not exist

Looks like you may be specifying ad-hoc email address (by expression) in the notification configuration, but have not configured the notification for “secure” notification.
If the notification is actionable, then the runtime impersonates the participant to ensure that the form renders as it would in the browser. However if the configuration of recipient is ad-hoc (i.e. an email address rather than participant type) then the attempt to impersonate fails, in this case trying to be “workflowsystem” user, which isn’t a real user in the directory.
You can send a notification to an explicit email, but the notification has to configured as secure, which means they just get a link to the task in the message body.

Direct Link to Next Task via Email

I would like to send a direct link to the next process task via e-mail. In this scenario a user would receive notification to complete a task assigned to them and be able to access that task directly from a link in the mail.
I am currently able to send out notifications and provide test links in that notification. What I do not yet know is how to link directly to the next task.
Is there a WebDynpro app provided by GP where you can pass a process task id as a parameter and link directly to that task in runtime? If so how do I retrieve the task id of the next task from the process?
Best Regards

Hi,
Before the process step for which you want to send the notification to the user add another process step using the pre-defined callable object Send Notification. You need to assign a mail template to that CO. So create a mail template with a standard message body and include the following as a replacement for the next task URL :
`
writeln(sy.workitemurl);
`
Assign the send mail to the same processor of the next action and when the user gets the mail the URL of the next task will be present in the mail message. Clicking that he/she can directly open the next task in portal.
Thanks,
Dipankar

Pdf email attachment for human task detail notification

We have a human task detail notification with pdf attachment.
The email notification (generated automatically) flat out all content but no pdf attachment.
Is this supported and if yes how to make it work?

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:

After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Email notification in human task: How to customize email subject.

Dear all community members,
I am using email notification service in human task to receive email notification if task is assigned to me. I have configured email notification in human task & I do receive the email in my inbox as assignee.
The default email subject is like [Action Required: TASK_TITLE], I want to remove this [Action Required:] from email subject.
I tried setting <%null%> in Notification Header in .task file but the email subject is still has Action Required.
Is there any way to customize email subject so that I can get rid of [Action Required:] [FYI] in email subject.
Thanks & Regards.

I believe this will help - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/user.1111/e15175/bpmug_cust_res_bndl.htm

BPEL Human Task: how to remove task details section from notification email

This is concerning the human task component of SOA Suite 11g. Upon task assignment, the assignee receives an email notification with an administrator configured text. Below this text the task details are automatically added. How can this be removed? Marking the notification as 'secure' also removes the administrator configured text. But that I'd like to keep. Only the automatically added task details section needs to go. Any hints?

This configuration is available in the following navigation. Workflow Administrator Web Applications > Oracle Applications Manager > Workflow Manager > Service Components > Workflow Notification Mailer > Edit > Advanced > Message Generation section > Templates. You can refer to the "Oracle Workflow Administrator's Guide" > "Modifying Your Message Templates" for more information.
Please note that this applies to ALL the outbound notifications, not specific for Purchasing notifications.

OIM 11g - Email Notifications configured in human task is not working

Hi,
My requirement is to send email to the assignee whenever a request is assigned to the user. I created a custom bpel workflow and configured email notiifcation in the human task for the status 'assign'. I have configured Email driver with following properties:
Sender Addresses = <[email protected]>
Default Sender Address = <[email protected]>
Outgoing Mail Server = <Exchange server host>
Outgoing Mail Server Port = 25
Outgoing Mail Server Security = none
Outgoing Default From Addr = <[email protected]>
I have also set the Notification Mode to 'Email' in Workflow Notification Properties.
However when a request is assigned to the user, email notifications are not sent.
I do not see any errors in the logs. In Enterprise Manager console I navigated to SOA Infrastructure Home > Human Workflow Engine > Notification Management and I could see outgoing email notifications corresponding to the workflow instance with the status showing 'Sent'.
Also the Exchange server that is being used has already been tested for provisioning emails from OIM and it works fine for provisioning.
Any pointers/troubleshooting tip to resolve this issue is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Deepa

Human Task email notification and IMS

Hi Chaps,
I have a requirement to enable the email notification functionality embedded in Human Tasks. This email functionality presumably emails everyone for that role based on their email information located in Enterprise Manager -> Security -> my relam (?), however when I log into Business Process WorkSpace and try to edit the email address - it states that "Do not use this channel for BPEL User Notification or Human Workflow; it is not stored in the identify management system and will not work"
Does this mean that I have to directly alter the LDAP Directory (somehow?) or will logging into Enterprise Manager and changing it manually suffice?
Any help you could provide would be most welcome!
Thanks..

To know the more details on email notification using human tasks, follow the below link
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/integration.1111/e10224/bp_hwfmodel.htm#BABICIAH
Also, if you are trying to send emails without using LDAP, then simply configure the email driver in */em and assign the roles to whom you want to send the email to.

Is there some configuration on human task to delay email generation

We are having a requirement to send notification when some user approve a workflow request.
on approval by one user and on being assigned to some other user we raise event using onAssigned and onComplete callback,
these events trigger another BPEL process which modifies a table.
In the email notification on approval we want to capture changes done by bpel called on event raised using callback.
Is there some way we can delay email notification generation i.e wait for 15 - 20 seconds?

Is it possible to sent email from Human Task notification to several users?
Regards,

BPM human task actionable user notification email not working

Hi ,
I am triing to send actionable email notification to assignees through the notification tab of the human task. The email settings in the em console has done fine so that I am getting the notification email without any fail.
But the problem over here is the actionable buttons / links (Like Approve or Reject ) are not there inside the email body.
I have checked the make notification actionable check box in jdev human task as well as configured the actionable email address in the server em console.Still the email body is not having the action items.
email body is here
Task Notification PendingUser Notification requires your attention.
Access this task in the Workspace Application
<PendingUser Notification > above is the task title.
Please suggest
many many thanks
Tuku

Hi All,
I got the solution for it. Now the assignee is able to get the actionable email.
the mistake i did is during the human task notification tab configuration I have put separate email id in the recipient column of first row.You need to do is ,choose Assignees from the drop down value , check the check box make notification actionable, then set the proper email in the email attribute property of the assigned user (user creation time).
Thanks

Complete Task with Payload Problem -- no Human Task Drop Handler

I'm reading section 26.4.1 of Developer’s Guide for Oracle SOA Suite 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) E10224-01 where it refers to figure 26-5 Human Task Drop Handler for Creating the Task Display Form of section 26.4 Creating a Task Display Form.
I've generated taskDetails1.jspx. I highlight Task as in the figure and right click in askDetails1.jspx (design tab) but I don't get a Create JSF page dialog as in the figure.
I get a dialog with Insert Before Show Detail Spacer ... etc (no Create /Human Task/Complete Task with payload etc)
Do I need to position within a particular element ? or is this a bug ? wrongly documented?

Add a Human Task in BPEL but it shows as an Auto Task in BPA

Hi, all,
I create a BPMN flow in BPA and mapping to BPEL. And I add a Human Task in jDeveloper, and saved back to BPA server. But the problem is the updated BPMN flow shows that I added a Auto Task in BPA. Could you help me on that? Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Bill

Hi Bill,
Prefatory a quick intro on the basic idea of the BPA concept and a few personal recommendations. In general all changes on the control flow should be initiated top-down from the business process, which means your requirement becomes relevant only in certain cases. If the refinement of the BPEL process is going beyond the technical implementation, then the BPMN diagram itself needs to be corrected. That being said, in certain cases it may be sensible to make use of the improvement proposal feature (e.g. the IT developer recognizes the need of an additional service invocation, so that the control flow of the business process has to be refined).
Referring to your issue these changes are displayed as Automated Activities (abstract) in the superior business process (in BPA). For this reason some activities require a different approach when it comes to accepting or rejecting by the business users. The description below provides an overview about how-to add activities in BPEL subsequently (as improvement proposals) and how they will be represented in the superior business process after synchronization (personal recommendations).
Control flow
Email, Fax, Pager, Pager, SMS, Voice+
BPEL process (JDeveloper)+
Encapsulate within a separate Abstract activity - choose a name, which helps to identify that this should be a Notification activity (define naming conventions in the conventions handbook).
Business process (BP Architect)+
By default represented as Automated Activity (abstract).
Open the improvement proposal model and select the new activity. Go to Format/Representation and select 'Notification' in the Symbol-dropdown list - the object appearance changes.
Important: double-click the new activity and specify all the required parameters. Share the blueprint with IT.
Note: The attributes of the abstract Automated Activity still appear in the attributes view.
Invoke+
BPEL process (JDeveloper)+
Encapsulate within Abstract activities.
Business process (BP Architect)+
If encapsulated within an existing scope in BPEL - not visible in the superior process.
If encapsulated within an Abstract activity in BPEL - represented as Automated Activity (abstract).
Human Task+
BPEL process (JDeveloper)+
Encapsulate with an a separate Abstract activity - choose a name, which helps to identify that this should be a Human Task activity (define naming conventions in the conventions handbook). Ignore the Switch activity that will be added below the Human Task.
Business process (BP Architect)+
By default represented as Automated Activity (abstract).
Open the improvement proposal model and select the new activity. Go to Format/Representation and select 'Human Task' in the Symbol-dropdown list - the object appearance changes.
Important: double-click the new activity and specify all the required parameters. Share the blueprint with IT.
Note: The attributes of the abstract Automated Activity still appear in the attributes view.
Receive, Reply+
BPEL process (JDeveloper)+
Encapsulate within Abstract activities.
Business process (BP Architect)+
If encapsulated within an existing scope in BPEL - not visible in the superior process.
If encapsulated within an Abstract activity in BPEL - represented as Automated Activity (abstract).
Decide+
BPEL process (JDeveloper)+
Add a new Abstract scope - choose a name, which helps to identify that this should be a Business Rule activity (define naming conventions in the conventions handbook). Place an Empty activity inside the scope.
Business process (BP Architect)+
By default represented as Automated Activity (abstract).
Open the improvement proposal model and select the new activity. Go to Format/Representation and select 'Business rule function' in the Symbol-dropdown list - the object appearance does change.
Important: double-click the new activity and specify all the required parameters. Share the blueprint with IT.
Note: The attributes of the abstract Automated Activity still appear in the attributes view.
Flow, Switch, Pick+
BPEL process (JDeveloper)+
Only new branches within existing activities can be added subsequently. Each branch should contain at least one Abstract activity.
Business process (BP Architect)+
New activities should be defined in the superior business process.
Displayed as gateways (AND, XOR <event-based>, XOR <data-type>, OR) - the definition of these activities should be initiated in the business process.
While+
BPEL process (JDeveloper)+
Only within existing scopes. Loops should be defined in the superior business process.
Business process (BP Architect)+
If not encapsulated within a scope in BPEL - will be represented as Automated Activity (abstract).
If encapsulated within an existing scope in BPEL - not visible in the superior process after synchronization.
If encapsulated within an Abstract in BPEL - will be represented as Automated Activity (abstract).
Implementation
Assign, Transform, Throw+
BPEL process (JDeveloper)+
Only within existing scopes.
Business process (BP Architect)+
Not visible.
Wait, Terminate+
BPEL process (JDeveloper)+
Not recommended to add them subsequently - should be defined in the superior business process via Intermediate events (BPMN).
Business process (BP Architect)+
Displayed as intermediate event - the definition of these activities should be initiated in the business process.
Kind regards,
Danilo
