Send a link in the Workflow mail

Hi Experts,
I am working on a requirement where I need that when ever I am sending a Mail to the Outlook, in the mail body I should be able to send a Link and when the User opens that Mail, He should be able to traverse from that Link.
I am sending this mail through Workflows.
I have tried typing Link text in the mail bosy and copy-paste the Actual Links, But the issue is after Copy-paste or writing links It does not remains a Link, It becomes a Simple text.
Can anybody suggest any other Approach for this..?
With Best Regards,
Kanika

Hi Avinash,
Thanx for the Reply. But that Approach is not working.
i am using Function Module "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1" and I am giving the document type as 'HTM' but still i am unable to see that link
any pointers would be highly appreciated.
With Best Regards,
Kanika

Link in the Task Mail opens the form in Infopath Designer instead of browser

Hello,
I have designed an InfoPath form and associated a SP designer workflow.
It is a approval workflow. When a new form is submitted, using the "Send Email" action in the workflow, it notifies the approver that a new form has been submitted and needs approval. In the mail body, I have used the Current Item's "URL Path"
for the user to be taken to the submitted form directly.
This opens up the form, but instead of the browser, it forcefully opens the form in the InfoPath designer. I have set the forms to open in the browser in the advanced settings of the library.
Where and what else change do I still need to perform for the form to open in the browser?
Thanks,
Guru

Hi,
From your description, I am not quite sure your issue clearly, my understanding is that you want to send item URL to user with workflow, and the user can access the item by the
URL. Your issue is that user will download the item via the URL instead of open the item in browser. If my understanding is incorrect, could you provide detailed information or a screenshot?
Could your provide the URL that user
received in the mail?
You could try to construct the URL pointing to the current item which could be open in browser as below.
http://sp/form1/test.xml?DefaultItemOpen=1
http://sp/_layouts/15/FormServer.aspx?XmlLocation=/form1/test.xml
http://sp/_layouts/15/FormServer.aspx?XmlLocation=/form1/test.xml&ClientInstalled=true&DefaultItemOpen=1&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fsp%2Fform1%2FForms%2FAllItems%2Easpx

Send a Link to the client

Can i send a link to the client rather than sending it through echo sign database? I am trying to add a link to my email so that my client can just click on the link and sign the document

Hi testdocument,
If you want to send a link of document through your email instead of sending it through EchoSign, you can use our Widget feature( which is available from Enterprise accounts onwards).
Here is the link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/echosign/kb/widget-create-one.html
You can also try Global trial (free for 14 days) which has the widget feature.

Problems in starting up the Workflow Mailer

Hi,
I am pretty new to the Oracle Workflow.
I have recently installed Workflow 2.6, and when i try to start the workflow mailer wfmlr.exe, i am getting the following error :
wferr 2009 : Fatal error, mailer is exiting.
wferr 2102 : Could not connect to mail service using account 'my_email_user/password'.
wferr 2202 : Could not establish mail service connection.
wferr 2201 : Mail service connection refused. Error code 8.
The Environment is Windows 2003 Server, and Microsoft Outlook 2003.
Can anyone please let me know whether Workflow 2.6 is certified for use on Outlook 2003, and if not, is there any other way in which this issue can be resolved by making it run on Outlook 2003.
Your comments would be highly appreciated.

At install time there is a question that asked if you would like to configure adminstration now. (Something like that). By default this is not checked. If you did not check it you cannot access enterprise manager.
The is probably a way to configure it, but it might be faster reinstalling.
There is a simple way to de install by going to the ORACLE_HOME/bin and run the deinstall script.
cheers

Why can't I share my iCal diary anymore with my work colleagues? I used to be able to send a link so the calendar could be viewed in any browser be it PC or Mac platform??

Why can't I share my iCal diary anymore with my work colleagues? I used to be able to send a link so the calendar could be viewed in any browser be it PC or Mac platform??

Ordinary webspace won't do - what you get is a text file: this is the problem - MobileMe took the file published by iCal and formatted it as a calendar. Presumably if you were running your own server as indicated in the help page it would do the same; but unless 1&1 can speficially provide you with a CalDAV server it's not going to work.
Do your colleagues have Macs? For those who do, they can subscribed to a shared calendar in iCal and it couldn't be simpler. Presumably Windows owners could do the same thing in a suitable calendar program; and this is a lot simpler solution.
Another route: according to this site:
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/publish-ical-calendars-mobileme-os-server-mac/
box.net can do this for you. I seem to remember that this arose a while back, but I have a feeling that the poster then couldn't get it to work. I can't advise on that, but you might want to investigate it as an option.

Receiving so many e-mails for the workflow mailer

Hi,
One of the user received thousands of e-mails(same emails) from the Workflow Mailer. Do you know why is this happening?
We changed the statuses from 'null' to 'sent' and entered an end date. The user has stopped receiving the duplicated e-mails.
Please let me know if there was a problem with that user or anything else?
it's urgent.
Regards,
Prasad

Prasad,
Does this user have any end-dated responsibilities?
I suspect that the user-responsibilities related data is corrupted, so I would suggest you refer to the following note and try the suggested solution outlined there.

How to include Portal login link in the workflow notification

hi All,
Wih the program RSWUWFML2 i am able to get the options like 1) workflow entry 2)workitem Display 3) workitem execution .
When i click the workitem execution , it is going to SAP inbox and able to execute the workitem.
How to do the same thing with Protal Gui. In my case most of the users will not have sap logon access but they do have protal acess.
Like Option 3, if i click how to connect the protal and process the work item.
Regards
Venakat

Hi,
you have to copy this Program [RSWUWFML2|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/moH8B] and modify. In this program mail is sent via the FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' before this code you have modify the content of the email, you have to pass the link of the Portal in the mail.
So that from the link users can able to logon to portal,if it is [Single Sign On|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0c78148-12de-2a10-27bf-960acc753aab], no password will ask otherwise the user have to enter the password.

I'd like to put the instance name in the Workflow mailer subject line

Hi Folks, I'm sure this has been done many times before. Do I need to use Workflow Builder (I have never used it), or can templates be created manually? Anyone done it manually before? I'm using EBS 12.1.1
Thanks very much,
-Adam

Hi Adam,
I think there is some documentation in the Application Developer (sorry no time to go check) - you want to look for Workflow Standard Message Templates (System: Mailer).
Otherwise you can just overwrite (this is modification) the standard message templates - start Workflow Builder on desktop, open from database workflow "System: Mailer" and then you have access to the default message templates.
PS the "usual" way to distinguish between environments is through the "Send From" username/email address - which is a configuration item on the workflow notification mailer setup.

Gareth

Why can't I send a picture in the e mail?

In the last couple days I can only send picture as an attachment.If I browse or drag any picture into the e mail the picture will be deleted by Avast or Thunderbird. I have turned Avast off and sent an e mail with a picture and the picture got deleted. I can only think Thunderbird getting rid of my pictures and also not let my friends send me a picture.
How could that be?
Ed

I set up another e mail account with Outlook and was able to send a picture to my Thunderbird address intact. Just now I stopped my virus protector Avast altogether and sent a picture to my Outlook address from Thunderbird and the picture was deleted.
The reason I'm searching for the answer here to remedy this problem because most people I'm sending family pictures are not computer smart and they cannot open attachments to look at the pictures. On the other hand if the pictures are visible in the e mail they can share memories with me.
So again why can't I send pictures in Thunderbird anymore yet a week ago it was not a problem. This is another topic besides when typing an e mail and the font will change for no apparent reason.

Receiving the Workflow mail in SAP Inbox/Outlook

Hi SAP Experts,
I have situation, where I am receiving the PR-PO workflow mails for the approval. I am not authorized for it and also not assigned in any of the table maintained and used for picking the approver for PR-PO workflow approval.
Please advice me how to proceed in stopping it.
Regards

Authorization for approval is independent of workflow allocation, even it does not make much sense in this case.
The worklfow assignment can be made by user or by organisation data, like department or workgroup.
if that is done, then everybody in the group receives the workflow item in his inbox.
But only the one how has authority for approval can release the PR/PO.
So you need either be removed from this group, or a different assignment has to be made for the release group to workflow assignment .
