Sample Manual Action

Hello All,
I have not been able to fix my Manual Action issue, which is discussed in detail in a different thread. What I was hoping, was that someone could post a simple workflow that will launch a manual action. I would like to use an example to work from, but I have not been able to find an example that works the way I expect it to.
I would like a workflow example that launches a form for the user to fill out via the html UI when the workflow is ran. Does anyone have a simple workflow? It would be great if I could get this.
Thanks!
Jim

Jim - what is your email address - I can send you a simple modify attributes WF to help.

Timeout value in the Manual Actions...

Hi Everyone,
I am actually facing a weird problem with respect to the timeout
value. My workflow has the following Manual Action in the Notify
Activity which does wait for 1 min max and should continue to proceed
forward.
===
<ManualAction id='0' name='Processing in backround' timeout='1' hidden='true'>
<Owner>
<ref>WF_CASE_OWNER</ref>
</Owner>
</ManualAction>
========
However, the workflow is getting into the suspended mode
Workflow task report:
Check completion 'Notify Activity' Waiting on work item owned by
'sample user' ---------------------------------------- Walking case
Walking case 'Sample Registration' Processing steps in 'Sample
Registration' Step pass 1 Check completion 'Notify Activity' Waiting
on work item owned by 'sample user' Case suspended with resume date
10/14/09 05:28:00 EDT Finished executing workflow case Sample

Task Instance Report:
<Step id='2' activityId='2' state='executing' title='Notify' Activity='3'>
<Result actionId='1' owner='#ID#Configurator'

timeout='2009-10-15T00:38:16.326Z'/>
</Step>
The workflow should wait for max 1 min and should proceed forward.
However, as you see in the above the timeout value set is
2009-10-15T00:38:16.326Z which seems odd because the workflow has
been suspended with resume date 10/14/09 05:28:00 EDT. But the timeout
value seems higher rather than just timing out for 1 min
Can anyone tell me who is setting the following below and where is
thing being picked up? I don't think its even honoring the 1 min
value?
timeout='2009-10-15T00:38:16.326Z'
Overall result is task waits for couple of hours and then gets
executed. Seems to me like a bug? Please let me know your thoughts on
this?
Thanks.

No manual actions are available

Hi all,
I've implemented two ways to print a smartform from the Portal. The first one is through a scheduled actions area and the other is through a print button on header area. These two buttons worked fine until I upgraded the CRM 4.0 to SP16. Now, print button located on top is not working and when I click on it and I get an error message about "No manual actions are available".
Any idea to solve this problem, please?
Thanks in advance and regards.

Hi,
Check for your Settings in the Action conditions for your Action Defination.
In Path:Customer Relationship Management>Basic Functions>Actions>Actions in Transaction>Define Conditions:
In the "Details of the Selected Processing" for your "Selcted Processing" you have made the settings for Print Option and defined the Printer Selection the Action Execution Interval,
check for these settings weather are Appropriate or not,Also check for the Options Available in the Output device are still available or not and selected ones are Appropriate or not.
Hope it answered your Queries..
Thanks and Regards,
RK.

How to approve a manual action from a workflow

Hi,
I'm writing a workflow to automatically approve another workflow (waiting for approve).
The first WF is waiting for an approve. The second must approve the first.
In the 2th Wf I get the WorkItem ID of manual action of the first WF. Then i try to
1 - Checkout the workItem view
2 - Set the complete status
<set>
<ref>workItemView.complete</ref>
<Boolean>true</Boolean>
</set>
3 - CheckIn workItem view
But the first is always in suspend.
Is right what I'm doing? There is another way to do a such thing?
Thank you.

Manual Actions outside user's controlled org

I'm facing a problem in which i'm running a task as a user and within the task i need to assign a manual action to another user who is outside his controlled organizations....
IdM complains that the user who is running the task does not have view access to the user he's tryin to assign the manual action to...
Anybody have a workaround for this issue??
I'm currently developing a workaround but the problem i'm facing currently is how can I make a task go into a suspended mode...Has anyone done anything like this??
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am giving some idea for your probelm.May be it helps.
There is a build-in variable called resultLimit,where we can set the time the
task shud wait before it is being deleted.Refer Tech Deployment/Reference
for detials.
Result limit sets life time of a finished task before it is deleted.
Also we can specify the timeout in manual action.
Timeout is introduced to expire WorkItem after finite time of inaction
0, minutes<0, seconds
=0, no expiration
If anything works,please dont forget to share with us.Since we are also
new in this field.

Can I change the name of manual action

Can I change the name of manual action to the user account's or some definitive name.
<ManualAction id='1' name='displayCreateUserForm' timeout='30' syncExec='true'>
I tried name='$(user.accounts[Lighthouse].lastname)', but of no use?
Any help please?
G

This is for requestor's review pending actions list. In our create user workflow, all the pending forms(incomplete create tabbed user form) are referred as manual actions.
If the requestor stops the create user form without completing it, it gets into his/her review pending action list as
-displayCreateUserfrom
-displayCreateUserform
and does not specify who the user account form that was incomplete.
<ManualAction name='displayCreateUserForm' timeout='30' syncExec='true'>
<Owner>
<ref>WF_CASE_OWNER</ref>
</Owner>
<FormRef>
<ObjectRef type='UserForm' name='OND-UserForm-TabbedCreateUser'/>
</FormRef>
</ManualAction>

Sample Rule Action Script.scpt crashes mail app sometimes

Hi, I know next to nothing about applescript, but today came across a post which seemed like it could be solved with a little rule triggered AppleScript action. So I ...
1. dug up the 'Sample Rule Action Script.scpt', and copied it into ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Mail/
2. created a rule which applied to all email messages and triggered the script
3. selected a message, and hit cmd option L to apply rules to the selection
and up popped an alert panel. (expected behavior) But only the first time and only on one of my two machines. On the other Mail.app crashed. (unexpected behavior)
But then I found I couldn't reliably run it repeatedly on the first machine after all. So I repaired permissions. Now I get the crashing behavior reliably.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? The script is the one everyone should have under:
/Library/Scripts/Mail Scripts/Rule Actions/Sample Rule Action Script.scpt

hello Camelot. I hope this is not too far afield in this thread but its as close I can find in the current discussion topics. I've been attempting to write a script to filter flagged messages from the old messages (> 6 days old) I want to delete. I use the rule to send it to my script as you discuss. My script doesn't function but when I replace it with the Sample Rule Script, things run like a charm. (Although the text that Craig sites doesn't run.) My question is what's wrong with my script that it is not triggered. It is as follows, it is compiled, and I added a sound command to try and debug it. It didn't work.
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theMessages
tell application "Mail"
play sound ..........+These 2 lines added in an attempt to ascertain if the messages where even passing+
"Basso" ..................+through the script. No sound resulted; syntax?+
set theflaggedstatus to flagged status of eachMessage
if flagged status is false then
delete message
end if
end tell
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
The result is no result, nothing, nada. The old messages stay in the mailbox whether they are flagged or not. I inserted a standard change color of message rule above and below the "run Applescript" rule command and the messages are colored as they should be but the Applescript is not functioning. My script, at this point, seems overly complex for what it is, but it is the result of numerous attempts to get it working. I have a number of similar scripts written with basically the same consequence.
If this post is outside the thread here, my apologies, if it is maybe you can redirect my inquiries. thanks tT

Update workflow variable in a form associated to manual action

I have a view called userfind in my workflow,
I pass this view to a search form, in this form I would like to update
this view.
I am passing this view object as variable to the manual form.
In my form I am trying to update this object as follows
<Field name='variables.userfind.query'>
<ref>query</ref>
</Field>
User find object is correctly updated when this block of code is executed, but when the control goes out of the form (back to the 'action' that calls this form) I dont see the updated value. The value of userfind.query is same as before (i.e. before it was updated in the form).
Why isn't the updation visible outside the form?
Thanks in advance!

very good question !
I'm working on something similar and wondering about form field variables in general.
Generally it looks like form fieldnames correspond with userview attribute and editing the field, edits the view directly so it is ready for CheckIn.
I'd also like to know if this methodology applies to other views and WorkItem views which may contain general workflow variables. If so, I assume they can be editable by the form if the fieldname is the same as the var name.

Changing action name of sample custom action block in MII 12.2

Hi all,
I have a problem changing the action name of the custom action block sample. I've changed the content and successfully implemented the action block. But when I changed the action name and uploaded again, the action block cannot display any input parameters and output parameters. In the java console, I can see 3 rows of "Shared Properties Error: No File Defined" error. Can I get a hand on resolving this issue? Thanks.
The From rows are the sample code. To row is what I changed to.
In SimpleActions.java
From:
@Action(name = "AddTwoNumbers", referenceDocumentGenerator = ReferenceDocumentGenSample.class)
To:
@Action(name = "GBarcode", referenceDocumentGenerator = ReferenceDocumentGenSample.class)
From:
public static void addTwoNumbers(
To:
public static void gBarcode(
In catalog.xml
From:
Component Type="Action"
Name="AddTwoNumbers"
To:
Component Type="Action"
Name="GBarcode"
All other code remains the same.
Best regards,
Lawrence

Hi Lawrence
Did you remember to change the action name in the catalog xml as well? In the catalog xml the Name field denotes the name of the action. This needs to also change in case the Action Name is changed in the class.
Please check this and change if not already done.

Adobe Actions in Photoshop elements

I have recently acquired a program that was originally designed on Adobe Photoshop.
I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements, bot most features are included
One difference is that Photosop Element does not have an 'action button' to load the action script.
However, I have copied these in manually
Action Taken
a) Installed graphic program into c:\Program Files\graphic program
b) Opened the Action Script Folder and copied all the Action Scripts files
c) c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\presets\Photoshop Actions\
d) Pasted all the action scripts that I copied from the Action Script Folder
So Far So Good
Opened Photoshop Elements : They have a file browser button. From here I can browse to :-
c:\program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\presets\Photoshop Actions\
But I cannot load any templates or activate the program
Can anyone advise on this please
Brian

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for your response
I am using Photoshop Elements 2.0 and the third party program in question is "eCoverGo"
http://www.ecovers-go.com/
As mentioned it was designed for Adobe Photoshop and required all the files to be placed in the photoshop action folder.
Photoshop Elements does not have an action feature, but I followed their procedure and copied all the files into the Elements/photoshop actions folder OK. But there is no way to load these files into Photoshop Elements.
I have asked how they activate these files in photoshop, and received the following
"copy the shortcut into the relevant directory (depending on which version of Photoshop), then I go to the actions window and select the action.
Select the first step and press the play button, modify the image created, and then run step 2 and step 3.
I can also double click an action in its folder and it will open in Photoshop."
The problem is' Photoshop Elements does not have an 'Actions Window' and the second is, after double clicking on an action in it's folder, Photoshop opens and I'm back to square one!!"
I realise that I may be whistling in the Wind, and no way take the program developer to task, because it has been designed for Adobe Photoshop and not Photshop Elements.
And it defeats the whole exercise by purchasing Adobe Photoshop for the sake of getting a low budget program to work, when Photoshop Elements suit my requirements at the moment
Once again, thanks for your interest Barbara, but don't drive
yourself crazy.If it wont work in Elementsthen it wont work!
Best regards
Brian

Record actions bug. does not execute the dont save action even though it acknowledges in action list

i am using macbook pro running Lion
so i am trying to save a series of actions that i want applied to a batch of images. i do all the actions correctly (i've done this before in earlier version of photoshop). stop recording my actions, and open the same image to make sure the automation process works properly and i get the same image through automation that i got when building my actions. one
of the actions is cutting and pasting a portion of the image in a different location, yet during the automation it always ends up somewhere else, and not in the same place, which makes no sense. another issue is during the recording of my actions i close out of all the files b4 i stop recording and click dont save. so this should be automated, but when i run the automation it prompts me to click dont save which it shouldnt do. i cant sit at the cpu and click dont save for thousands of images. whts the point of automation if i have to actually do something. stupid program. and i can clearly see in the list of actions tht it recorded me clicking dont save yet it still prompts me every time. i really do hate cs6. i wld install my old photoshop but b/c i have lion it doesnt support it... of course.. *rolls eyes*

@conroy - one of the actions means one task in an action (see screen shot).
@noel - i am able to run my action properly when i "play selection", but when i try to run a batch of images through the "automate" function is when the issues begin to arise. at least most of the issues.
i would insert an image to show what i did, but i cant seem to get that to work (on my pc or mac... weird). i loaded it to my fbook page and u can view it by following the below link
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=750482081505&l=4d1bb044bd
you can view an image of what i did here.
so in detail what i am trying to do is:
record an action of the edits i make to a raw image so i can then run that same action on a batch of thousands of images via "automate." the specific tasks i am trying to complete during my action should be visble in the link i provided. to explain in detail what is occuring that is being recorded as an action:
1)- i press begin record
2)- I am open a raw image
3)- there is a time stamp in the image and i select and copy the time stamp from the corner of the image
4)- i then open a new document and past the time stamp into the new document
5)- i then increase the size of the pasted time stamp by about 3x by changing the resolution
6)- i then go back to original image
7)- i crop the original image to exclude the time stamp and other superflous things on the edges of the image
8)- i then rotate the original image 90 degrees CCW
9)- i then go back to the new document w/ the time stamp and select the time stamp with the marquee tool, so I can copy the time stamp to the original image
10)- i copy and paste the time stamp to the original image, i use the "move tool" and move the time stamp to the top of the original image.
11)- i then flatten the original image (i thought when this was done this is essentially combining layers, so there should be no possibility of the edited time stamp moving around as it has been flattened onto the original image)
12)- i then save the original image (that was flattened w/ the edited time stamp) as a .jpeg As part of the save process i also select the resolution.
***issue***
so i am now having an issue on this section as well. as you can see in the link i provided i have told adobe to do all this, yet now at this section it prompts me to make a decision about the resolution (i.e. press "ok").
13) -after this step i then select "close all" from the file menu which closes the original image that i just saved and prompts me if i want to save the new document i created for the time stamp i edited
14) - i select "dont save"
15) -i press stop record
16) - i then go to the folder where i saved the file i just edited in photoshop and change the name.
17) - i start the action process to see if i can replicate the manual actions i just completed through automation. i have no issues replicating this when i manually start the action, except for my issue w/ the time stamp detailed below.
***issue*****
when i do this the time stamp that i edited and pasted back into the image is not in the same place. i have only gotten it to be in the same place once, and the only thing i did differently was continually re-create the above action in the same manner. each time i recreated the action the time stamp was in a different place and one time it was finally in the place i moved it to.
18) - after checking that the action works, i then attempt to automate a batch of files
19) - i select file -> automate -> batch
20) - in batch i choose the folder with the original raw images that i now want to run the action on and also select the folder where to place the altered images
21) - in the batch menu i do not have any of the boxes checked (i.e. suppress color profile warnings, etc.)
22) - i select "ok" and the automation process starts
this is where i run into issues. originally i would get prompted @ step 14 (above) instead of the automation process just reading the task in the action that says select "dont save". somehow i do not get prompted there anymore. now i get prompted at step 12. it saves its as jpeg, but instead of completing the save process, at the resolution screen it prompts me to select "ok" instead of reading the task in the action that says select "ok"
i have created new actions for the images i collect since CS4 and CS5 and i have never run into any of the issues i have described above. i appreciate any and all help you can provide, as it currently stands i am pretty upset b/c i have wasted an entire day or productivity messing w/ what appears to be a buggy program.

Down payment request clearing in manual bank statement

Hello,
can somebody advice how to configure manual bank statement posting rule in order to clear down payment request (sp.GL indicator F).
The case I would like to solve is the following:
1. I have created a down payment request via F-37.
2. On the bank statement I have payment received from customer for the above payment request
3. I need to configure a posting rule in manual bank statement in order to post the received down payment.
    Debit : bank account
    Credit : customer account with sp.GL indicator A and clear down payment request.
Thank you for any advice!
Gabriela

I am in 4.7. It seems that the interpretation algorithm doesn't search the items in statistical postings (down payment request). I have choosen interpretation algorithm 021 Reference document number search. The down payment request as XBLNR 134134. In program RFEBKA00, I have XBLNR number interval 112000 - 199999 and the program doesn't find the down payment. FEBCL is empty. When I fill FEBCL in the user exit, the clearing process works fine without any manual action.
When looking in the program RFEBBU10, I can see:
FORM X-TREFFER_PROBELESEN.
CLEAR TREFFER.
LOOP AT TREFFER.
    SELECT * FROM BKPF WHERE BUKRS = FEBKO-BUKRS
                         AND BSTAT = ' '
                         AND XBLNR = TREFFER-NUMMER.
Since the down payment request has BSTAT 'S', that explains why the standard interpretation algorithm doesn't find the document (TREFFER-NUMMER has the right value 134134).

Sample Storing issue

Dear QM Guru's - Need help with the below scenario.
Purchase order is created in Plant A for Plant B. Vendor Sends the Samples to Plant A for inspection. After inspection is accepted in Plant A, Vendor delivers the material to Plant B & there is no further inspection in plant B.
So is there a standard way to receive & store samples in Plant A? Any Comments/Thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

You can create Plant B as vendor.
Then use ® Quality management ® Quality inspection ® Sample management ® Physical sample ® Create(QPR1) -->to create the sample Manually .
Use this sample Number in future to store the sample received from plant B.

Adding custom action to Tabbed User Form

I am trying to view and delete user tasks (such as deferred task) from a user view (tabbed user form). I am able to list the tasks in a separate tab, however, I would like to be able to delete the task using a manual action. I added a button, however, the clicking on the button refreshes the page, and does not get into the Update User workflow.
Wanted to check with the forum members if anyone has added any custom action via the TabbedUserForm where the button (or something) will submit the form for change of user view to the Update User workflow.
Or, if someone has a simpler way - manual action to cancel/delete a deferred task for a user.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

It seems I was initially too focused on the VCS API itself, as I was under the impression that the context menu would be exposed through a manager (similar to the Editor API). But it turns out that the view API provides very nice access to the relevant bits and I was able to achieve the desired result by simple listening to view activation and access the context menu from there. It's not ideal as I have to deal with view ids directly, but it works - good enough.

Result Recording without release of physical sample

Hi,
    SAP Gurus,
    I have one query regarding result recording for some lots.
   I have created one sample drawing procedure and assigned to inspection plan.
   In SDP I have maintained primary size factor 1, Fixed number 1, Acc.to smplng scheme-PM, Insp. severity-4.
   In pooled sample size factor 1, Fixed number 1.
At header level Consider No. of Containers Tick, Confirmation Required Tick, Used in Task List Tick.
I have done One GR for raw material and assigned that inspection plan to the created 01 origin 01through QA02.
One primary and pooled sample is created in CRTD status. I have not release the sample.
When I go to QE11 for result recording system assigns the physical sample by default and branch me direatly to the result recording screen.
My query is that, i have acivated confirmation required tick in SDP then system should not accept the sample which is in created status and should not allow me to do result recording. But system is skiping this and allowing me to do Result recording.
Please let me know what necessary settings i have forgot.
Thanks in advance,
Harriesh

Dear Shyamal,
               The scenario i mapped is that, I need to release the sample manually. User should not go for RR without sample release.
It is working fine also. But for few lots it is not asking the sample release. It ir skiping the sample status stage and directly going to RR.
Please let me know way system is behaveing like this for few lots only.
Thanks and regards.
Harriesh.
