If the termination type is RABAX_STATE, you will find more information on the cause of termination in system GRQ in transaction ST22.
If the termination type is ABORT_MESSAGE_STATE, you will find more information on the cause of termination on the application server grcmty03_GRQ_00 in transaction SM21.
If the termination type is ERROR_MESSAGE_STATE, you cansearch for further information in the trace file for the work process 8 in transaction ST11 on the application server. grcmty03_GRQ_00 . You may also need to analyze the trace files of other work processes.
If you do not yet have a user ID, contact your system adminmistrator.

Hi,
Looking at the error message, it suggests that the error was of type RABAX_STATE and therefore transaction ST22 might be of help. It seems like a programatic failure so perhaps an ABAPer could assist. Failing that, I would raise an SAP Customer message as it may be a bug in the standard code.

GRC 10.0 Role workflow (with detour)

Role Profile Generation in BW

Hi,
I created a Role in PFCG with some Authorization Objects like S_RS_COMP1,S_RS_HIER ,S_RS_ICUBE & S_RS_IOBJu2026etc
I generated the profile and tested the role everything is working as expected.
Now I raised a transport for this role and imported that to Test system successfully.
In the Test system the profile which I generated and active in Dev is became inactiveu2026.I re-generated it again and working again
Question is why the Profile is becoming inactive any transported and do I need to Re generate in each system when I import the transport.
Thanks

Question:
> Do I need to generate profile seperately for child and parent or only for parent is enough ??
Answer:
> For me , the properties are not getting reflected when i do it only for parent ??
Well done. You just found an easter egg
=> Take a look at transaction SUPC. There is also a menu path to it in PFCG when you have completed the parent role. Look for "Mass Profile Generation".

Julius

Automatic workflow generation report RSEIDOCM (points will be granted)

Hi,
I'm going to schedule program RSEIDOCM in order to send work item to an inbox whenever there are IDOCs with selected error status. When I run this report manually everything looks ok except one thing that I'm not getting anything in my inbox.
Here is what I did:
1) I've checked workflow configuration in SWU3. it is ok.
2) I've checked task assignment for TS30200088. it is general so everything should be ok.
Here is my selection.
Recipient type: US
User: my user
Start time for batch run: 5
Critical IDoc number: 1
Status group: F
Logical message type: ZMYMESSAGE
Could you help me or move me into a correct track.
Regards,
Wojciech

Hi,
I'm on 4.6 so I have to use RSEIDOCM. I've started to debug it and I saw that inside is a call:
* fire event that will trigger the idoc inbound processing
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
       EXPORTING
            OBJTYPE           = C_OBJECT_TYPE
            OBJKEY            = SPACE
            EVENT             = C_IDC_EVT_ERROR_STATISTIC
       IMPORTING
            EVENT_ID          = L_EVENT_ID
       TABLES
            EVENT_CONTAINER   = L_T_EV_CONTAINER
       EXCEPTIONS
            OBJTYPE_NOT_FOUND = 1
            OTHERS            = 2.
OBJTYPE is equal IDOCSTATIS and event is equal ERRORSTATISTIC. Inside transaction SWEL I've seen such status for this event "No receiver entered". Does it mean that my user is unknown or there is no link between event and a handler? If there is no such link how to configure it. I'm fresh in workflow and I'd be very appreciate for any help or direction.
Best regards,
Wojciech

Design pattern for role based workflows

Hello,
I'm new to APEX and I am wondering whether it is easily possible to design a multi role workflow application without creating a new page for each workflow step.
I'll try to explain what I mean:
Assume we have 2 roles and a workflow with several steps. The 2 roles work on one single document, and they complete it step by step. In each step, additional information is added to the document by one of the roles while information already entered is visible, but cannot be changed any more (except if the user goes one step back to a state where the information can be edited).
Is there an easy way to define such a flow of steps (which can be modeled by a state machine) ?
Is there an easy way to define which fields in a page are visible or editable depending on the current step (i.e. on the state of the document) ?
Is there an easy way to define which fields in a page are visible or editable depending on the role of the user ?
Maybe you can point me to some documentation or give me some APEX specific key words as a hint.
Thank you,
Markus

>
Not clear on what's really involved here. Could you expand on what you mean by "document"? What's involved in completing a step? Do you have an existing implementation of a "state machine"?
without creating a new page for each workflow step.Can you clarify this requirement? All steps in a workflow are shown on one page? Or you want a generic workflow application (based on an underlying flexible data model/"state machine"?) rather than an APEX application that automates one particular workflow?
Is there an easy way to define which fields in a page are visible or editable depending on the current step (i.e. on the state of the document) ?Yes. See Conditional Rendering and Processing and Displaying Read Only Page Items.
Is there an easy way to define which fields in a page are visible or editable depending on the role of the user ?Yes. See Authorization.

Dear,
You can find much info about workflows at: http://www.erpgenie.com/workflow/index.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/EN/04/926f8546f311d189470000e829fbbd/frameset.htm

Critical parts of the process can be streamlined with deadline monitoring and contingency options. Participants are informed of milestones in the process. The process definition itself is powerful enough to allow business re-engineering with re-training and to eliminate the impact of workforce changes on the basic business process.

Because the business process often does not step at the R/3 boundary, various interfaces and third party tools are available for extending the process across systems.
Function module
Function modules are procedures that are defined in special ABAP programs only, so-called function groups, but can be called from all ABAP programs. Function groups act as containers for function modules that logically belong together. You create function groups and function modules in the ABAP Workbench using the Function Builder.
Function modules allow you to encapsulate and reuse global functions in the SAP System. They are managed in a central function library. The SAP System contains several predefined functions modules that can be called from any ABAP program. Function modules also play an important role during updating and in interaction between different SAP systems, or between SAP systems and remote systems through remote communications.
Unlike subroutines, you do not define function modules in the source code of your program. Instead, you use the Function Builder. The actual ABAP interface definition remains hidden from the programmer. You can define the input parameters of a function module as optional. You can also assign default values to them. Function modules also support exception handling. This allows you to catch certain errors while the function module is running. You can test function modules without having to include them in a program using the Function Builder.
The Function Builder also has a release process for function modules. This ensures that incompatible changes cannot be made to any function modules that have already been released. This applies particularly to the interface. Programs that use a released function module will not cease to work if the function module is changed.

CRM 7.0 How to create Business role & generate

Hi Team,
Can you please let me know some breif idea about CRM 7.0 security guide.
How to created Business role is this part of functional activity?
Whats the role of Technical colleagues BASIS guys in CRM 7.0 security .
Please help me to get some document regarding business role creation , generation , assignment & authorization checks in CRM 7.0.
Thanks & Regards,
Vyash Mishra

Hello Viyash
I will add the most important information for generation of business roles and assignment of authorizations to users.
You must first create the PFCG roles. PFCG role is built based on the Business Role.
Please see documentation in : SPRO
SAP Implementation Guide => Customer Relationship Management
UI Framework > Business roles > Define Authorization Role
Then the PFCG role can be assigned to the business role in
SAP Implementation Guide => Customer Relationship Management
UI Framework > Business roles > Define Business role
Finally you must assign business roles to Organizations or positions in organizations in
SAP Implementation Guide => Customer Relationship Management
UI Framework > Business roles > Define Organizational Assignment
The users that are assigned to such organizations / positions will be therefore linked to the business role.
With the previous steps the users will have the authorizations that are assigned to the PFCG profile that is linked to their business role.
Business roles are the main way to configure authorizations for users in CRM but you have more options that give you flexibility.Each business role has assigned one PFCG role, but the relationship between business role and PFCG role is not strict. You can even assign a dummy PFCG role to a certain business role in business role customizing and then go to transaction PFCG and assign other PFCG role(s) to the users that are assigned to that business role.
I would say that the previous tasks must be performed by the basis team but in cooperation with the functional team

Updated By field value during workflows.

Hi Experts,
The updated by field displays the value as [system] when i update a field that triggers a workflow. I read in the documentation and it says if the Workflow Owner is the [launcher] then updated by shall always show as [system].
This works as expected in my QA environment.
But in dev when i update a field that triggers a workflow the Updated by Field changes to Admin. The workflow properties are the same in QA and Dev.
Are there any other places that a workflow config is done such a username pwd that it uses. I have a feeling its using the Admin Id login details somewhere due to which updated by field displays the value as Admin, even though i update the record with another ID.
Regards,
Aditya...

Hello Aditya Dhurandhar - DHUA
Just check your user role, if it different with Admin - check roles workflow permissions.

What is the difference between Action & Workflow?

hi,
What is the difference between Action & Workflow?
regards,
babu

Hi,
Actions
Actions are important for maintaining and improving business relationships. You can schedule and start predefined processes with the Actions component by means of user-definable conditions from transaction and marketing objects.
You can tailor the type and time of actions to the requirements of your customers and the processes in your company. This component enables you to match your service, sales and distribution management, and your campaign management even more closely to customer needs, and, simultaneously, to automate them
In simple words Actions are automatic actions that are configured to occur in business transactions (activity, sales order, quotation etc.) as a result of particular condition like change of status to let us say "in process" from "open".
Workflow:
The automation of a business process, in whole or part, during which documents, information or tasks are passed from one participant* to another for action, according to a set of procedural rules.
*participant = resource (human or machine)

Workflow is the technique for automating business processes. It is particularly beneficial
when different people are involved in different parts of the process
when a process only occurs sporadically and the users need to be reminded of what they need to do
when the duration of the process is critical and deadlines have to be met
when the process definition is likely to change on the fly and retraining users is not possible.
By automating the process, you free the users from having to know what to do when. Work items are sent to the participants notifying them of what they have to do, and a single click on the notification calls the correct transaction and navigates to the relevant screen.
When the workflow runs it creates work items which are like e-mails, but
they have the advantage that they contain the intelligence needed to execute the relevant task with the correct data when the operational user executes them,
they provide their own functionality so that the operational user has access to everything that is useful to improve the flow of the process,
they disappear on their own when they have been executed by someone else or made obsolete.
These work items can be received in the R/3 business workplace, MS Outlook (or any other MAPI compatible client), Lotus Notes, or work item notifications can be distributed by e-mail.

I would like to implement the following and I am wondering if anyone out there could help me jumpstart with an example. Any guidence would be greatly appreciated !!!

Issue in ERM - GRC AC 10 - Is risk analysis not mandatory

Hi,
We have defined our Role Methodology in 10 as Define Role - Maintain Authorizations - Analyze access risks - Derive role - approval - generation
When we defined the role and maintained authorization data and proceeding without running risk analysis the role is moving to the next stage without stating any warning that "Risk Analysis is Mandatory". Upon click on Save & COntinue it is proceeding to further stages.
Is there any parameter which needs to be set to throw a warning message for Risk Analysis to be run before the role is moved to next stage.
We arleady set the paramater 3011 as YES - Conduct Risk Analysis before Role Generation.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Srihari.K

Hi,
Note the definition of the parameter 3011 as per "Maintaining Configuration Settings Guide - SAP AC 10.0":
"Set the value to YES to automatically perform risk analysis when the user generates roles."
This parameter applies only at generation stage.
Cheers,
Diego.

Does ERM has a database of itself?

hi all,
when a role is created through ERM, and after completion of Role Generation stage, it gets created on back-end. So, is there a separate database of ERM, where role is created/generated First and then copied/created on Back-end?
if role is directly created ONLY on back-end at run-time, what is the use of the background job Role/Mass Generation on ERM.
regards

Plaban,
ERM has its own database. For ERM SP13, at the time of authorization definition (2nd stage) role is already created/replicated at the backend.
You can search within Access Control database in order to look for ERM tables. Look for the following pattern RE
Hope it helps. Kind regards,
Imanol

What is the use implemention of work flow

Hi guis,
can u plz tell me what is the uses, u implement a workflow, and also please give the one scenrio on purchase order or invoice or anything, one scenrio explain me.

Workflow is a tool for automating the business process so that the process itself flows smoothly, without bottlenecks and without dead ends. Critical parts of the process can be streamlined with deadline monitoring and contingency options. Participants are informed of milestones in the process. The process definition itself is powerful enough to allow business re-engineering with re-training and to eliminate the impact of workforce changes on the basic business process.
SAP Business Workflow is the R/3 tool for handling the process automation within R/3 or between R/3 systems and other systems involved in the business process. It is flexible enough to handle ad hoc processes such as the circulation of an electronic document. It is robust enough to handle mission critical process in the production system such as the creation of a material master.
The different R/3 applications supply standard workflows for the commonly occurring processes. Once these workflow templates are activated, they are ready for immediate use. A complete set of workflow tools, including the workflow editor and workflow generation wizard, are provided to enhance these standard workflows or create new workflows. These tools are complemented with transactions for monitoring, tracking and the statistical analysis of the processes.
Because the business process often does not step at the R/3 boundary, various interfaces and third party tools are available for extending the process across systems.
