Rule works in PFAC butnot in workflow........

rule works when simulated in PFAC but doesnt work when put in workflow task.
i have given correct import and export paramters, is there any thing else i shud check ??
thanks.

Hi Rita,
Looks like certainly this is a problem in Binding parameters betweek workflow step and Rule.
Also please make sure that the standard task used in Workflow step is made as a General task.
Clarifications are welcome.
Thanks

Mail rules work for some users, don't work for others

Ready to pull my hair out over this one:
Leopard to Snow Leopard upgrade went uneventfully, except for the fact that server-side mail rules (accessed via browser at FQDN -> Mail Rules) work for several users (two, to be exact) and don't for the rest (about 15 or so).
The usual culprits have been reviewed: 'Enable Server-Side Mail Rules' is checked in Mail -> Settings -> Filters, 'Allow users to configure server-side mail rules' is checked in Web -> Sites -> Web Services, users can create vacation notices and email rules without issue via browser, permissions look fine on the contents of /Library/Email Rules and /var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts, logs give no indication of any foul play (at least the Email Rules -> debug.log generates the same entries for both functional and non-functional users), etc.
I have noticed that /var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts contains only two items, which - you guessed it - line up with the GUIDs of the two functional users. Theoretically every user with a rule should be represented here.
As suggested in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11171395&#11171395
I created both a vacation notice and an email rule for several users, thinking that may force the folder creation for those users, but no dice. I even manually created folders for a few users with their GUIDs as the folder names and assigned each user ownership and read/write access. Still nothing. Created a few new test user accounts just to rule out any legacy account weirdness (although it's worth noting that I completely redid the OD and recreated user accounts after the upgrade) and replicated the problem with these, as well. Lastly, used Inspector to compare OD attributes between functional and non-functional accounts, with no glaring differences.
Help!

Did you find an answer? I encounter the same problem on my new MiniServer. Deleted and created all users several times, but just for some accounts mail is working.
Do you have the answer?

How derivation rule works in COPA.

Hi All,
I am working on profitability analzsis.I have searched in sdn and i am able to create the derivation rule.
But i am not understanding how it will works and what is the purpose of this.
Can anybody please let me know how derivation rule works in COPA.
Thanks,

Hi,
Derivation rule contains the parameters and conditions as to how to derive a value for a given characteristic.
it contains
Source Fields - from where the source field is originatingand the field name
Target fields - contains what is the target field in COPA for the relevant source field.
This field is nothing but the charactiristic.
For example:
When an SD document is posted, system will look for all the characterics available in the doucment like plant, profit center, division, district, country etc
for each of these characteristics, there must be values for example plant - xx18, profict center - 100000, district - bangalore, country - India etc.
once we define the characteristic values for each of the characteristic, if the values in the document are available in the characteristic value definition, then system will fetch these values to COPA
Else it will throw error that characteristic value is not defined
I hope your question is clarified
Best Regards

Rules work for incoming mail but not sent?

I'm sorry if I'm being particularly dim, or if that answer to this should be easily discovered. I've looked and can't sort it out. I have several groups set up in Address book. I have a folder in Mail to which all mail from some group is moved via a rule. I would like the mail that I send to those groups, or individual members of the groups, also sent to that folder.
I have tried by adding to my rule, "To" "contains" "person's name" and "To" "contains" "person's e-mail address", with the actual name and e-mail address typed in the third field.
Am I missing something?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Am I missing something?
Yes. If you open Mail Help and read the articles that explain how rules work, you'll see that they're applied automatically to incoming messages only. You may want to take a look at the following thread for workarounds:
Rules for outgoing mail

How Rule works : Two rules not working together

Hi All,
I have a rule in my distribution model. But when i add another rule then the second rule works but first rule stops working.
I want to know how to implement two Rules together. Say if i have two rules R1 and R2 in a distribution model.
Then how to implement
1.R1 AND R2 functionality --- means do filtering if it passes both the rules
2.R2 OR R2 functionality --- means do filtering if it passes any one of the rules or both the Rules
Regards,
Abhishek

F1, F2 etc., are referred to the node attributes whatever you have selected in the distribution rule.
While creating distribution rule, Second screen will be the selection of criteria fields (Node attributes) on which you want filter the data. These fields are referred by vinod as F1, F2 etc.,
So, your data will be filtered based on the AND condition between the criteria fields used in a rule.
So, In a specific rule AND condition will be used between the fileds.
Between two or more rules, it will be OR condition to filter the data.
Regards,
Siva.

Transport rules work partially(for 1 of 2 mail addresses)

I have an exchange 2010 setup.
I want to catch all mails that are send from 1 specific address and send a copy to 2 mailboxes.
First I tried to create the rule,but it didn't work.
Next,
I have created a transport rule, added 2 mail addresses(primary and secondary) for from( people) and forward the mail to a specific mailbox.
When I send an e-mail from my secondary address the rule works(yeah), when the e-mails from the primary are received, the rule does work(d'oh).
When I added the rules, I restarted the transport role to be sure everything is loaded.
I already enabled pipelinetracing for the primary e-mail address, but can't get any wiser of it.
some debug output

Hi Yelti,
Thank you for your post.
There are two sentences confused us, we want to confirm
your requirement in order to give better solution.
1. I want to catch all mails that are send from 1 specific address and send a copy to 2 mailboxes.
2. I have created a transport rule, added 2 mail addresses(primary and secondary) for from( people) and forward the mail to a specific mailbox.
Waiting your reply.

How can I make mail rules work?

I'm using Mail Version 7.0 (1822). When I create a rule to move an article from the inbox into a mailbox, it doesn't work.
I was hoping to create a series of nested mailboxes sorted by topics, (shopping, sports, hobbies, etc), but even the simplest of single level maillboxes doesn't work.
The commands are fairly straightforward and easy to understand: If a heading contains the word ________, move the item to the mailbox named ____.
When I apply the rule, nothing happens. Help would be appreciated.

The flagging rule worked. Then.... I tried once again to move the messages to the mailbox. This time, I noticed that the messages were, in fact, copied to the mailbox, but were not deleted from the inbox. Do I also have to specify that the messages be deleted from the inbox? The move command would involve both copy and delete in one action.

Content rule works with no redundant-vips configured

Hello,
We have a content rule configured (VIP address 10.1.2.3) but have not configured an ip redundant-vip 1 10.1.2.3 under the circuit configuration on either the master or backup CSS.
This content rule works though ? Why is this ?
cheers,
Mike

both css are responding to arp request for this vip, but luckily the upstream router keeps using the csm mac/css.
I would still recommend to use the redundant-vip.

Vacation Rule works for ALL but not for particular notification in Item typ

Hi,
I have a situation where Vacation Rule is Ignored when choose the select option in notification page of vacation rule and notifications were being sent to Original Approver (who created the vacation Rule) instead of delegate.
Vacation rule is working perfectly when choose the notification as ALL but is not working when given a particular message(Timecard Approved,Approve Requisition).
Below is some example of this inconsistent behavior:
1. Selected Item type as OTL Workflows for Employees, For this Item Type there are 3 Notifications as
TIMECARD_APPROVED,ERROR_MESSAGE,TIMECARD_APPROVAL_INLINE in select opition.
If i select the TIMECARD_APPROVAL_INLINE notifications are going to delegate, and for TIMECARD_APPROVED not going to delegate.
2. Selected PO Approval, It contains only one Notification(PO_PO_APPROVE). So it is working fine.
3 Selected PO Requisition Approval,it contains the 4 notifications.
PO_REQ_APPROVE_SIMPLE_JRAD, PO_REQ_APPROVE,PO_REQ_INVALID_FORWARD,PO_REQ_NO_APPROVER.
If i select the PO_REQ_APPROVE_SIMPLE_JRAD notifications are going to delegate, and for PO_REQ_APPROVE not going to delegate.
Any inputs on this.

Hi,
on problem I spot is that all your components created by the forEach loop have the same ID value. I suggest you change the ID to e.g. id="soc_#{item.index}" for zhe select one choices. In addition, I don't see where you refresh components after the change

Rule Result not returned back to Workflow container

Hi ,
We have a workflow where the approver for a Process is Manager of any Orgunit .
Now the manager is determined using a Rule with Category u201CFunction To be executedu201D .
The Business requirement is so that If the immediate manager for any Orgunit is not maintained it will traverse through the entire Org structure unless the Manager is determined. So the Level of the First approver could be of any value starting from 01.
We also have Deadline monitoring active .
Incase the first approver doesnu2019t act within 7 days the Work item should go to the next level Manager ( second approver ).
The level of the second approver depends on the level of the First approver .
Example : If the level of the First approver is 3 then the level of the second approver would be 4 or more.
: If the level of the First approver is 2 then the level of the second approver would be 3 or more.
Hence to achieve the Level dynamically we need to pass the Level of the first approver from the Rule to the Workflow so that it can be used for determining the next level manager in the next task.
In the Function Module which determines the first approver I have got the Value for the Level .
I also have assigned that value to the Rule Container (_WI_RESULT , this is the only parameter which can be used for the Export ) using the Macro SWC_SET_ELEMENT .
I also have done the binding from the Rule to the Workflow. But the value is not populated in the Workflow container .
Could any one please help me on solving this ?? Any other idea to achieve this is functionality is welcome too.
Regards,
Raka

Hi Arghadip,
First of all thanks for the reply .
We alreday have some logic like this in place .
But we want to imporve the system performance .
We get the agent in one task from the Rule .
Now again if we try to get the same agent in a method ,won't it be doing the same task twice.
So we are trying to return the manager Counter value from the Rule container itself to the Workflow container so that it can be used to get the escalation manager.
Regards,
Raka

Change in Work item Text for Approval Workflow WS14000133

Hi,
I need to change the work item text for Shopping Cart Approval Workflow WS14000133.
I have created an Attribute in Business Object BUS2121 and called the same attribute in work item text.
In PFTC -> Redefine Work item text - > and i have defined the work item text as well called the attribute from the container.
what the problem over here is - when I am passing the attribute in the work item text in the task, I am unable to see the work item text with the Dynamic Attribute but I am able to see the work item alone (not with the Dynamic attribut)
But when i debug the workflow from SWI1 then i can see the dynamic attribute in the Container of the workflow but nt in the approver's inbox in portal..
Can you please tell me - that why is this a strange behaviour that i can see the Dynamic attributed created initially in the workflow container of the Business Object but nt in the Approvers inbox either in Backend nor in the front end...
Thanks,

Forwarding document (not work item) from specific SAP workflow to Outlook

Hi,
We are looking for ways to forward the email notification of leave approval from SAP inbox to MS Outlook.
One way I know of is to create Auto forwarding in SAP inbox, however this would forward all documents received regardless of the work flow.
Would appreciate it if any one out there could share your experience.
Thanks.
Siew May

Use program RSWUWFML2. You can get pretty fancy with it to setup wrapper text. I have used it a lot so feel free to ping me with any questions.
What is important to know is normal 'email' forwarding will not send workflow items. I use this every 15 minutes to forward to Outlook and get the users into the Portal to manage the workflow.

Rule works in web interface but not in DIS

I have a global rule that restricts metadata shown/updated for non-admin users which works very nicely
(((dpEvent like "OnRequest" or dpEvent like "OnSubmit") and
(dpAction like "CheckinSel" or dpAction like "CheckinNew" or dpAction like "Info" or dpAction like "Update")) and
isFalse(userHasRole("admin")) and
isFalse(userHasRole("WCCAdmins")))
One of the fields in the rule has a derived value which sets its value to the folder in which the document is checked in
<$dprDerivedValue=#local.fFolderName$>
This all works great from the traditional web interface (not the ADF one ) but if a document is dropped into a folder in DIS or checked in from an office document, the rule is applied and the check in metadata is restricted as specified in the rule but the derived field is not populated

Ah yes, I achieved the same thing by removing all the rules except the userHasRoles and of course it works for all events. Odd that the field hiding rules were still working when I chose the check-in form option from 'save as new' in an office document maybe because one of those events was firing when that choice is made , but I'd swear it didn't apply the derived field,anyway, I have it working now with less conditions and I learnt something new about DIS so thanks.

Help Please: working with HTML BLOBS and workflow attachments

simply put need to be able to:
1. create html document using plsql and store as BLOB in a table.
2. retrieve this BLOB and send as Document Attachment in workflow notification.
This sounds so simple to be able to do and yet I've spent the past week trying to find easy to understand documentation on how to do this.
The html i'm creating is too large for just the normal 32K (I believe) buffer for a regular (text) document attachment. If i limit the # of rows returned, I can use this method just fine. However, my assumption is that with the amount of data I need to return in the attachment is that the BLOB type is what i will need to be able to accomplish this.
I would be more than happy to e-mail anyone samples of the workflow and code I am currently using to attempt this.
Lastly, one of the main articles I've looked at is this:
http://oracle.anilpassi.com/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=22
In my latest attempt, i picked an html file currently stored in fnd_lobs and tried to send the file as an attachment.
wf_engine.setitemattrdocument ( itemtype => c_itemtype,
itemkey => l_itemkey,
aname => 'LOB_DOCUMENT',
documentid =>'PLSQLBLOB:DANA_RLM_EXCEPTION_NOTIFY.xx_notif_attach_procedure/' || to_char(75871));
I get the following error in Workflow when trying to open the attached document:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
Any help would be greatly appreciated... would consider naming our next child after you. ;)

I had done some work trying to see how Lotus Notes handles HTML content.. to my dismay, Lotus Notes does not even handle some of the basic HTML correctly.. leave alone the embedded OA Fwk content in the workflow e-mail notifications.
This seems to be a bug in Lotus notes.. I don't have the link to the IBM site that talks abt the bug. Will post it once I have it.

Port Forwarding - Old Rules work, new ones don't

As per subject 2 rules I created in Oct work fine.
2 I've created today don't.
If I reboot the HomeHub, will that change my IP Address and upset my line speeds / profile ?
Thanks

We had the same error message here. We resolved it by changing the format of the password in the bc4j.xcfg file. To do this, find the bc4j.xcfg file in your project directory. Using notepad or another external editor, edit the one under the "src" directory. Find the password tag under your connection in the file.
Edit it so that it reads like this:
<password value="<yourpassword>" />
Let me know if it worked..
BTW, I have also heard that upgrading your Java instalation on your server will also fix the problem, but we have not tried that.
